From orchestrating the tiniest details to managing the big moments, we ensure every “I do” shines just as bright as the love story behind it. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, we bring the experience, creativity, and fun to keep your day stress-free and unforgettable. Let’s make your special day as unique and joyful as your journey together. Your vision, our expertise—let’s make wedding magic!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

We’re a family owned wedding photography company that knows firsthand that saying yes to forever means something — and we’ve dedicated our lives to helping couples immortalize that moment of “I Do” to carry them through the years. We’re an inclusive family where all are welcome!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Blackwell’s were so wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Communication was always easy and I could reach out to them anytime I had a question (even in the evenings!!) with an expected quick response. We also had to find and book a photographer while we were out of town for a few months and they made it so easy to video chat and get to know them with no pressure to book when we were searching for our photographer. They did our engagement shoot/wedding photos and communicated very well through the planning of the shoot (we had a themed wedding and evening photos so we need someone who was good and we found it!). You can tell that their biggest concern is always making sure that we get what we want which requires a lot of communication that they were good at. I highly recommend them for any event not just a wedding as I feel you get the best of both worlds with them as your photographer in any type of situation. They make you feel comfortable and herd, but also know how to take quality photos and get them to you fast! Thank you for making our day so extra special and giving us memories that will last a lifetime!! I cherish our wedding photos and love to show them off!!

The NK Productions Team has grown to 4 lead planners, a full time office manager, office assistant and, not to mention our “day of” wedding team of 14 ladies.

Awarded Best of Zola
You know how they say planning a wedding is one of life's big stressors? Well if they found Nicole's team from the start, the saying wouldn't exist. If you're reading this, trust me - hire them! I got married over a year ago and I am still one of those annoying brides who talk obsessively talk about their wedding because of them. I got the opportunity to meet the whole team through various visits but primarily worked with Kacie. Is it weird to miss talking to your wedding planner? Kacie is the full package - she is enthusiastic to your ideas, offers creative solutions and is incredibly patient when you change your "vision" a billion times like I did. She presented vendors at different price points and offered cost efficient alternatives to stay on budget. We loved every single vendor we chose and that's easily because Nicole's team has vetted out the good/ reliable ones. I was an (type A) out of state bride so was relatively nervous but Kacie's professionalism is what sold me. She would constantly update me on progress, patiently answer all questions and never pressured me into a decision. No task is to big or too little for this team- we went from deciding how to fold napkins all the way to sending guests different housing accommodations when the hotel sold out. What makes this team special is their innate attention to detail - I was absolutely floored when I saw it all come together when the day finally arrived. It was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined! Thank you Kacie and team for orchestrating my fairy tell wedding

From the very first conversation, they brought an incredible mix of professionalism, creativity, and calm energy that made us feel completely at ease. They took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Every detail, from vendor coordination to the timeline and all the last-minute changes, was handled with care and precision. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. They made everything run flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our friends and family. Brittany went above and beyond — not just in logistics, but in emotional support and thoughtful touches that made the experience feel so personal. If you're on the fence about hiring a planner or coordinator, don’t hesitate. This team is worth every penny and more. We truly can’t thank them enough for making our dream day come true!

Capturing the beauty of your big day as a wedding photographer is a dream come true! I have a heart to serve couples and families, each moment fills my heart, as I capture the details that make your day special.

If you’re considering booking Deanna as your wedding photographer- do it!!! She is an incredibly talented photographer, and was amazing to work with! From our first inquiry phone call, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we would be in great hands. When our venue in Sarasota told us they were unable to host us two days before the wedding, we had to pivot and choose a new venue in Tampa. Deanna was so flexible and understanding about the last minute change! Our entire wedding day was seamless thanks to Deanna and her second shooter Miranda. They did an amazing job of knowing exactly which moments to capture, and brought so much creativity and fun to the process as well. It was the perfect combination of planned and candid moments, and we felt so comfortable and happy all day. It couldn’t have been easy to make the last minute change after planning photos around a completely different venue, but you wouldn’t know it from how confident, professional, and well executed everything was! We got our photos only a week after the wedding, which was the best surprise! The photos all look amazing and did a great job of capturing all of our guests, all of our decor, and all the special moments from the day. I had high expectations, and they exceeded all of them! We are so happy with how beautiful our photos turned out, and will cherish them for the rest of our lives, thank you Deanna!!

If you want absolutely stunning wedding photos and to work with two of the nicest people on earth, then look no further than Beth Joy Photography. Working with Bethany and John was such a delight from the very moment we had our initial call. We were lucky enough to have our engagement photos taken by Bethany and John and we had such a fun day in Downtown St. Pete. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable and as if we weren't even having our picture taken. Our engagement pictures were stunning and we were so excited to have them photograph our wedding, as well. Throughout our engagement, Bethany kept in touch and made sure we were up to speed with everything. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. As the wedding day approached, Bethany worked with our wedding planner to finalize the timeline details and ensured that she had a list of all of our requested shots and family photo combinations. When wedding day arrived, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We were so fortunate to have Bethany, John, and Amy (Bethany's sister) photograph our day. The three of them are truly the most genuine, fun, and caring people you will meet and they were such a joy to work with. Not only that, but they captured the most amazing photographs and we are still FLOORED at how beautiful the pictures are. We have yet to create a photo album because we just may have to include every photo since they are all THAT good. Bethany, John, and Amy truly have an eye for capturing the perfect lighting and colors (our sunset photos were to die for). They made us feel at ease during our couples portraits and managed to sneak some amazing candid shots. We cannot thank Beth Joy Photography enough for the most amazing gift of our beautiful wedding photos. We will treasure them forever!

If I could rate Catlyn and all of The Worthington for Events ten stars I would! We had the best experience at the Worthington , hosting my daughter‘s bat mitzvah. Everything including the centerpieces, linens and decor, candy bar, and chocolate that one were absolutely beautiful! Catlyn helped me perfect every detail and provided us with amazing customer service making my daughter’s day so magical! I highly recommend the Worthington for Events for any wedding, bar/bat mitzvah or special celebration!

Tiger Lily was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Petra and her team were fast, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfection - the floral arrangements they created were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, exceeding our expectations in every way. Petra even stayed through our ceremony to quickly repurpose the altar flowers onto the reception tables, making the transition look effortless and flawless. We would definitely recommend working with Tropical Interiors Florist to any couple planning their wedding. They truly went above and beyond to make our special day even more perfect.

Nailah from StackD Cake Studio was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding desserts. From our very first interaction, they were attentive, communicative, and cordial, making the entire process a breeze. The cakes and desserts she created for us were not only delicious, but truly amazing, creative, and over the top. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the flavors to the beautiful design. The final products exceeded our wildest expectations and were the talk of the reception, and when I say the talk I mean that our guests were literally wanting more! Specially the Guava Posset!!!

Alisa was one of the vendors I was most excited to work with on our wedding day, for so many reasons! She and Wayne made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable during the engagement session and we had SO much fun. The photos turned out INCREDIBLE and we got so many comments from friends that the photos were such high quality. On our wedding day, Alisa again brought the energy and expertise! She turned all our little details into gorgeous photos, made time for little moments throughout the day, and absolutely went above and beyond to help me and my family. She and Wayne are a dream to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! We are so thankful to have had such a qualified, fun, and kind team. Thank you!!!

Working with Alex & Isabel LLC was an absolute joy! From the moment we first connected with Bianca, her communication was fast, fun, and professional yet super friendly. The team is so talented - they were efficient, producing beautiful hair and makeup for the entire bridal party(which was 12 people in total, one of which was a 4 year old who wasn’t feeling the best due to food poisoning). Even with getting started at 5:30am, Bianca, Michelle, & Melissa were very upbeat, fun and brought all the good vibes for the morning. When one of my bridesmaids had an issue with her makeup, Bianca was more than happy to fix it for her. Bianca also stayed on site until I walked down the aisle, giving me a little pep talk before we got started with the ceremony. I can't recommend Alex & Isabel LLC highly enough - they truly helped make our special day perfect!
