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.

Working with Brooklyn Rain Brides was an incredible experience! Finding Brooklyn felt like fate! She was everything we needed in a planner. My husband and I decided on having a small wedding in a short amount of time and it was better than I ever imagined due to Brooklyns' help! The planning stage was organized, productive and so much fun. I felt like I was chatting with a good friend during our meetings. The moment Brooklyn arrived to the venue on our wedding day, all of my stress vanished. She took my cell phone and really took charge! I was able to finally unwind and really be present with my now husband. She designed a gorgeous sweet heart table and flower arrangements for our reception. Brooklyn made sure that we, the Bride and Groom, were well looked after during the very busy day. From our very first interaction, Brooklyns' communication was organized, calming, and positive. We cannot recommend her team highly enough! *Brooklyn came up with the idea to take photos in the elevator and those are by far my favorite photos in our wedding album!

Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

She also helped me get a stain out of my dress, made sure I constantly had drinks in my hand, got my plate of food, took some nice photos/ videos on her phone, and just kept me staying sane.

Hi, I’m Marykate (or MK)—owner and lead planner of Events by Marykate, based right here in the beautiful Tampa Bay area. After over a decade in the event world (corporate and weddings alike!), I launched my planning business to help couples avoid the stress and confusion I personally experienced during my own wedding journey. We bring the structure, strategy, and calm that every Type A bride dreams of—from crystal-clear budgets to streamlined timelines and vendor logistics that actually make sense. We don’t just plan weddings—we orchestrate them with precision and heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marykate was an AMAZING wedding planner / coordinator. She is extremely organized, super efficient, and a pleasure to work with. There wasn’t one thing that we needed that she couldn’t figure out a way to make it happen. She handled our day of coordination developing the timeline, keeping vendors accountable, and ensuring that the church and venue were perfect. She met with us several times via zoom and in-person to coordinate with the venue and other vendors. She stepped in and helped ease tensions on many occasions including with the venue that was challenging to work with. She was in charge of moving our wedding cake from the venue’s refrigerator, and decorating it with flowers (who knew the bakery, florists, and the hotel wouldn’t work together to get the delivered cake into the reception room and place the flowers on it)! She took it in stride and did a fabulous job! She helped us coordinate table decorations, cleaning up at the end of the night, transporting all of this stuff back up to our hotel room. Every item that you didn’t want to worry about on your wedding day, she handled and then some. Just a wonderful experience. Less than 15 minutes before the ceremony she was making sure we had snacks, fixing broken boutonnieres, and trimming bouquets. Truly a jack of all trades! Everything turned out flawless! The only thing I would suggest is to involve her earlier on in the process to reduce your wedding stress level. We only did for day of coordination and looking back, I wish we would have had her help with more. SHE IS FABULOUS and well worth her fee which was extremely reasonable! Snap her up and have a stress free wedding day!

Hiring Nathalie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we met, she was incredibly attentive, organized, and supportive.

Words do not begin to describe how incredible working with Brooke has been. We were originally having our wedding in St. Pete before finding out that our venue had cancelled less than 90 days before our date due to damages from the Hurricane. Brooke overextended herself and found multiple venues that were available for the same date knowing that was important to us. By the end of the week, she had set up multiple interviews which she attended and helped us secure our new venue at the Tampa EDITION which we ended up loving more than our original venue. Brooke was dependable and available whenever we had a question and kept open lines of communication. She is innovative and her organizational skills/attention to detail goes unmatched. She originally helped us plan a fun beach wedding and in less than three months pivoted to help us plan a formal affair. On our wedding day, Brooke and Ada did an amazing job with setting up the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces; we were in shock by how perfectly they enacted the vision we had in our heads for our wedding. During the wedding, they kept the timeline of events going and kept the vibes high while we were busying having an absolute blast with our friends and family. The audio guest book supplied by Brooke is an absolute must. Listening to everyone's messages a week after the wedding brought us so much joy and laughter; just imagine more chaotic messages as the drinks flow and the night progresses. We decided to include the photo booth last minute and am so happy we did as it was a complete hit with all of our guests throughout the entire night. We cannot imagine a more perfect team to help plan your wedding. Brooke and Co. truly made our day the best day of our lives and we cannot recommend her enough! XOXO CJ and Matt

Working with One Step Closer Events by STASSE LLC was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Stacy and her team were honest, effective, and exuded confidence throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to detail, passion, and genuine love for their craft was evident in every aspect of our special day. The floral arrangements and decor they created were truly the most incredible I've ever seen - Stacy truly put her heart into making all of my wedding day dreams come true.

Bourbon & Bliss Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our friends wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was professional, proper, and incredibly respectful. Giselle, the owner, has a true eye for detail and a genuine love for what she does. She executed the day to perfection, ensuring that we did not have to worry about a single thing. Giselle made sure all the vendors were set up and had everything they needed, and even the logistics were handled perfectly. She went above and beyond, even finding the specific farm chairs and string wire lights the bride had her heart set on. We are so grateful to Giselle and the Bourbon & Bliss team for making our special day run seamlessly from start to finish. We highly recommend them to any couple planning a wedding in the future.

Shannen with Pink Daisies Event was such a blessing to have on my wedding day. She was so thoughtful in her preparation and very professional and caring through all our communication. My venue had a coordinator but I was so thankful that I had Shannen there as well to take care of the little details I would have missed and help with the vendor questions and alternate solutions to keep those worries off my plate and went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly and that my husband and I were enjoying ourselves.

Words cannot explain how grateful we are for Lisa. She was so kind, responsive, and attentive! Her work is beautiful and her overall work ethic is unmatched. When planning a wedding it is so stressful especially when you’re dealing with so many different vendors. Lisa ALWAYS responded to me in a timely manner. I would recommend her time and time again to whoever is looking for a coordinator for any event.
