My hubby and I got engaged June of 2022 and had our dream venue booked not too long after. Our wedding day was 11/11/23. We had looked at a couple other venues in the area but wanted to use some place that our friends hadn’t used yet. I stumbled upon The Worthington while we were out to eat at AMOB with family, I booked a tour the next day. Once my husband and I were shown around the property, we immediately both knew we had found our dream venue. The entire team is super helpful. Our ceremony took place outside in front of the giant oak tree as a beautiful focal point AND the pond in the background. We were lucky enough to be the first couple to use the outdoor wall to separate our guests from seeing me before I walked down the aisle! Catlyn exceeded what we were thinking it was going to look like! Talk about being blown away. Our cocktail and reception area also looked amazing. Seeing every detail we had planned come to life because of these ladies and their hard work made us feel so taken care of. Whether you’re dealing with Angella, Catlyn or Lisa you’ll be in the absolute BEST hands! They're all so communicative, quick to reply and triple check everything is just as you want it. I would come back over and over again for the venue itself and the ladies in charge. You all made our night so perfect. Our guests all kept saying it was the best wedding they had been to.

Bakers Ranch is a team of informed wedding professionals who are experts in the unique art of weddings. Our wedding day felt like pure magic, and it is truly thanks to the incredible team at this wedding venue. Our guests were in awe of the space, and we received so many compliments regarding the décor, drinks, food, photographer and overall experience. My husband and I put a lot of time and research into finding the right wedding venue for us, and we walked away from our wedding day with a feeling of pride for our selection, and gratitude for the support we received. We looked at venues across three states. It was a little overwhelming and emotional, knowing that the venue would dictate so much of our time as an engaged couple and ultimately, our one wedding day. Bakers Ranch immediately stood out to us, it was an all-inclusive wedding venue that would eliminate some stress of planning. It had a gorgeous green backdrop of ancient oaks and rich foliage. It had Jeremy, a wedding planner that was calm, reassuring, honest and unlike any wedding professional we had met in our search. We booked the first available Saturday the following year almost immediately. I was also an extremely detail-oriented bride, straight down to the plates, the handmade table cards, and a personal note for each attendee. But it was all perfect. The decor, the flowers, the cocktails, the food, the week before, the day before, the day of, were all a dream. Everything that I communicated was heard. The vision that I had planned for was achieved. It was even better than what we could have imagined. We are extremely grateful to Baker’s Ranch for their incredible work.

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Ellenton, FL

Hi everyone, I’m Carolin, originally from Würzburg, Germany, and now living in Bradenton, Florida. For over 11 years, I’ve been a professional photographer, specializing in weddings, couples, and families. My background in graphic design helps me focus on capturing beauty and detail to create lasting memories. In my free time, I love relaxing at Anna Maria Island’s beaches with my husband Philipp and starting my day with a Chai Latte from Starbucks. I’m also passionate about exploring new cultures and traveling. Can’t wait to get to know you!

We were looking for a photographer who would capture our special day in more than just photos. It was essential for us to have someone who could convey emotions and capture those natural moments. Let’s be honest—typical posed wedding photos aren’t something anyone looks back at later. With Carolin, we hit the jackpot! She is incredibly friendly and works professionally, delivering results that are amazing and worth every euro. We chose the full package with photos and a wedding film, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Our friends and family love the memories of our wonderful day, and the enthusiasm from our guests for Carolin has led to several bookings for more weddings and family photos—what better compliment could she receive? Everything went smoothly from the start. Whenever we had questions or felt uncertain, Carolin was always there to help and listen. Her self-created wedding planner was an incredible aid for our timeline. If you want unique memories of your wedding that are anything but ordinary, Carolin is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for everything and look forward to showing this wonderful video and these photos to our children one day. A heartfelt thank you to Carolin! To all future brides and grooms, you can’t go wrong by choosing her. Book her, and cross that off your to-do list!

From the beginning our first meeting together to our wedding day, Michelle was absolutely amazing! Michelle went above and beyond to create our vision for our wedding day. Michelle attention to details and working out ways to help with our budget was fabulous. Although we were not able to be in person for many things as we had a destination wedding, Michelle did her very best over numerous phone calls and zoom calls to create the best wedding day ever! She was also great at recommended many of her vendors who she has worked with for many other wedding. Every little detail at the wedding was amazing. Till this day everyone keeps talking about the wedding! It was beyond perfect with no issues at all. I loved that Michelle had a content creator and within a few weeks we were able to see highlights from our wedding day as we wait for our videographer and photographer to share their content with us. I would highly suggest Michelle as a wedding planner and venue designer in a heartbeat. Michelle and her team were very professional and organized.

Awarded Best of Zola
WE HAD A TIME! Queendoq is incredibly versatile and truly understands people from all backgrounds and cultures. She’s very attentive, always reading the room to keep the party going. Her couple entrance introduction is unmatched, her VJing is excellent, and her packages are exactly as described — no hidden fees, no surprises. The booking process is also straightforward, with clear consultations and periodic video meetings to set expectations. She even offered great suggestions when we weren’t sure what direction to take. As a Type A bride, my playlist and song choices were really important to me. There were moments during the reception when I had my husband request a different song because it wasn’t on my list. Rather than getting frustrated, Queendoq handled it gracefully and transitioned seamlessly. If you're looking for a wedding DJ rather than a club-style DJ, Queendoq is the one. My only note would be that there's some room for improvement in transitioning between songs and not letting tracks play for too long — especially when music selection is important to the couple. But the best part? Queendoq is extremely receptive to feedback and open to collaboration. We are so happy we chose her for our big day and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a fun, professional, and culturally-aware DJ who truly cares about making your day unforgettable!

We had a whirlwind experience because we had to postpone our wedding not once...but twice!...due to COVID. We also live in New York, so all of the changes were managed via zoom/calls/emails, as we only were able to go down a visit 2x each year. The NK team was stellar in every way, not just in coordinating the changes and the vendors accordingly, but with making sure details that were so small were still completed and perfected. We had great spreadsheets, documents that were beyond organized - they assisting with everything from the scripts for the officiant (as we had a non denominational wedding), all paper goods and language, coordinating every bit of the decor from flowers to tent to favors, and more. They were also SUCH a pleasure to work with and we got to know them each so well and they've become friends who we can't wait to visit in the future! We felt we could always rely on them, whether the ask was so small to so big (and often times required a quick turnaround). I would recommend them hands down, ESPECIALLY Kerri, Kacie, and Nicole.

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!!

We can't wait to hear from you, learn your love story, and create photo magic together!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't even begin to express how in awe I am of our wedding day photos. Bethany and John have beautifully captured one of me and my husband's core memories. Our photos are light, dreamy, radiant and colorful - candid, posed and fun, at all the best and most flattering angles - everything I was looking for when searching for a photography team. At a personal level, Bethany and John are the most kind hearted souls. We felt so comfortable with them, cared for, and looked out after. For example, we had some family members try to input themselves into what was supposed to be me and my husband's special moments, and John and Bethany politely stepped in and took care of it, with grace and confidence. I so appreciated John for paying close attention to details - he would fix a fly away hair, ask me to sit up a little straighter, or adjust my arm in a more flattering way. The both of them can just so wonderfully read a room and the people in it. I never had to ask them of anything, they can just sense and spot a special moment. Bethany is so organized and her timeline, ideas, and plan were so carefully and thoughtfully played out! For someone who can be quite meticulous and analytical times, I'm as happy as can be and overly satisfied.. We now have the most beautiful engagement session photos and wedding day photos I could have ever asked for. We can't wait for family photos with Bethjoy when we add a little one to our lives! Thank you Bethany and John, for the best keepsakes, and for being you!

Hello! My name is Yuliya. I am a photographer with a deep passion for capturing beautiful moments and creating visual stories, based in Sarasota, FL.

Click on my website ^ for pricing! HI! I'M ASHLEY, OWNER & FOUNDER OF GIVE ME GLAM! I’m a proud Florida native and a devoted mother of two sweet boys. According to my friends, I’m the go-to for laughs in any room, making your time in my chair one to remember. Makeup has been my lifelong passion, and discovering my calling in it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Over the past decade, I’ve been transforming and elevating my clients’ looks, leaving a trail of glam from Montana, Italy, New York and across Florida.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is a very talented makeup artist. Everyone she worked on looked gorgeous, and the hairstylist was great too! She has such a good vibe. The only reason I am giving her 4 stars is because it was very stressful for me in the days leading up to the wedding due to some issues with the final count and contract. My advice for you is to be mindful of the number of services or bridesmaids you include in the contract, as you cannot remove them later. Also, before paying the deposit, make sure you are aware of all hidden fees and the total price, because the deposit is non-refundable. Other than that, we are very happy with the services. Thank you so much ️

Alisa was one of the vendors I was most excited to work with on our wedding day, for so many reasons!

Bridge Street Bistro made our wedding the most magical day of my life. Jennifer made every wish come true. Coming from Michigan, communication was imperative. My many questions and requests via e-mail were answered and fulfilled quickly. Although she remained the utmost professional, she gave me the sense that she truly cared about my wedding day. She worked with us to get exactly what we needed. We opted to rent out the 2nd-floor restaurant. The atmosphere was intimate in a very classic decor. And that view! What a breathtaking sunset! The dinner options our guests were allowed to choose from provided for a wide variety of tastes. The sea bass with its buttery texture was one of the favorites. Jennifer also aided me in finding our entertainment for the evening. She made everything so easy. We continue to visit Bridge Street Bistro every year on our anniversary, and Jennifer along with the staff make us feel as special as we did on our wedding day.
