“Hiring Coastal Coordinating was easily the best decision my daughter made for her wedding. Starting 30 days out, Alli took over as the primary contact for all vendors, kept us perfectly on track, and provided a meticulous timeline. Tia joined us for the rehearsal brunch, expertly guiding us through the processional and ensuring everyone knew exactly what to expect. My daughter had a 'Wedding Day binder' filled with her inspiration, contacts, and seating charts, and Alli used it to bring that vision to life—the venue looked exactly like the photos. Having them as our day-of coordinators allowed us to truly enjoy every moment, knowing every detail was handled, from the morning setup to the final pack-up at the end of the night. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my daughter a truly worry-free day and the wedding of her dreams.”

“Wow. We truly can't recommend Demi, Delaney, Alyssa and the Wilder Mind team enough. They were absolutely amazing and truly contributed to the smoothness and ease of our wedding day. My husband and I typically consider ourselves to be a bit of control freaks, but working with Demi and Delaney we were able put our complete faith in them, let our guard down, and know that their team had it all covered. We used Wilder Mind's Day of wedding coordination services and they were on point from day one of working together pre wedding. The team was so experienced and proactive in the planning calls, thorough details, and overall organization. Having Wilder Mind cover all the minute details for the wedding and thinking of things we never would have thought to consider like ceremony seating, timeline details, and overall wedding etiquette was a huge comfort for us amidst the stress of wedding planning. We had our full trust in Demi that she would handle it, and handle it she did. Demi and Alyssa were thoughtful enough to even record 70 videos and photos for us throughout the night and shared them with us before they left, it was so nice to get to relive the beauty of such a special night after it had just flown by! Having the Wilder Mind team behind us took so much stress off our plates and the cherry on top was that they made us feel like celebrities throughout the night! At the end of the night, back in our hotel room, exhausted and deliriously happy - we both agreed, working with the WilderMind team was some of the best money we spent for our wedding.”

“Regan was an absolute DREAM to work with and her floral vision captured what we hoped for (and far exceeded what we imagined). From our first consultation, Regan showed she has a genuine excitement to help bring a wedding vision to life and puts great care and effort into her designs. Prior to our meeting, she took the time to research our venue and compile different design ideas based on areas within the venue, which helped cement the feeling that we were excited to see Regan and her team execute our whimsical, fantasy theming. You can see how much care goes into her work, from the grand wedding designs, to their delicate in-store arrangements, and everything in between. Despite a busy schedule, Regan was amazing with keeping clear communications and setting expectations to make sure our florals were amazing quality while adhering to our budget and that we were all on the same page. All of our guests were floored by how elegant and beautifully unique the floral designs were. We cannot recommend Arms of Persephone enough and are so appreciative of Regan and her team for making our wedding memorable!”

Photography became my way of uncovering the beauty in others that they never saw themselves, the kind that often goes unnoticed. I fell in love with capturing the essence of a person, their laughter, their quiet confidence, the light in their eyes. I wanted people to see what I saw: their true, undeniable beauty. More than just pictures, I wanted to give them a glimpse of themselves the way they deserve to be seen. Beyond that, I am a good time! I love to laugh, extremely addicted to traveling, and I am super sarcastic. Oh... and we will probably become best friends after our shoot.

“We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer than Mandi. She was incredible to work with and made the entire experience feel effortless and fun. On our wedding day, she captured every moment so naturally and beautifully. From the big moments to the candid in-between memories, she documented everything in a way that felt genuine and authentic to us! When we received our sneak peak photos, we were absolutely blown away. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving our entire wedding weekend all over again. Every image perfectly captured the joy, emotion, and love that surrounded us. We are SO grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully and will cherish them for years to come. We cannot recommend Mandi enough! THE PETERSONS, xxxoo”

  • Serves Gulfport, FL

My name is Brittany and I am the proud owner of Brittany's Brides. I started my business at the peak of the pandemic in October 2020, I know, risky choice- but it has certainly paid off. I have truly built my business through word of mouth and establishing positive relationships with other vendors and venues. In the beginning, it was just little old me, and now I have 4 amazing women that work by my side to turn wedding dreams into reality.

“If you are on the fence, let this be your sign to hire Brittany’s Brides for your wedding planning needs. We went back and forth on whether to use the planner recommended by our venue or hire an outside planner, and after talking with Brittany, it became so clear that she was the person we wanted in our corner. From the very beginning, she made us feel like she was genuinely rooting for us and had our best interests at heart. Brittany brought a sense of calm into our lives that we had been desperately looking for throughout the wedding planning process. My mom and I are cut from the same cloth, which means we love each other fiercely but can also fight like sisters. Brittany somehow knew how to navigate both of our personalities, keep us grounded, and remind us what really mattered. She was so much more than our wedding planner. She was our team captain, our therapist at times, our biggest cheerleader when things went right, and the person who fought for us when things felt like they were falling apart. Once Brittany joined our team, wedding planning stopped feeling so overwhelming. I finally felt like I had the missing puzzle piece I was looking for this whole time. I genuinely feel like I got to enjoy my wedding planning again instead of constantly worrying about everything that could go wrong, especially the things I wasn’t even thinking about, she had it handled. She made us feel heard, supported, and cared for in a way that is hard to put into words. She treated our wedding like it was personal to her, and that made all the difference. Never did it feel like a vendor. My only regret is not hiring her sooner. If you are a bride who feels like you have everything under control and think you only need a day of coordinator, please consider hiring Brittany at least a few months before your wedding. Having someone in your corner who can take things off your plate, advocate for you, navigate the hard conversations (SO MANY I NEVER EXPECTED!!), and genuinely care about how everything turns out will change your entire experience. Brittany gave me the ability to enjoy being a bride, and I will forever be grateful for that. If you are considering Brittanys Brides, do yourself a favor and book her. You deserve to enjoy this season of your life, and Brittany will help make sure you do.”

“Rabbi Astrachan made our interfaith LGBTQ wedding ceremony such a profoundly memorable experience and I’m struggling to find the right words to make sure this review is written in a way that showcases how much it means to us. From our first virtual Zoom meeting to the goodbyes after the ceremony, it was evident that Rabbi Astrachan cared about us as a couple and making our ceremony meaningful, and his constant smile and calmness really made the entire process amazing. Between the meetings, the homework, and the help with making sure we had all the right ritual items, Rabbi Astrachan was always a text, email, or phone/Zoom call away to help us make the ceremony unique for us as a couple.

“Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but working with Shannon and John at Bay Vista Ballroom made the entire experience not only manageable—but genuinely enjoyable. From the very beginning, their flexibility and commitment to making our day exactly what we envisioned stood out. They truly went above and beyond to ensure every detail reflected our hopes and dreams, while also offering thoughtful guidance when we needed it. Shannon, in particular, has an incredible ability to take your ideas and bring them to life in ways that exceed expectations. One of the biggest advantages of Bay Vista Ballroom is how seamlessly everything comes together in one place. Their package options are thoughtfully designed to include everything you need, while still allowing for flexibility to tailor details to your style, priorities, and budget. It never felt rigid or “one size fits all”—instead, it felt like a partnership to create something uniquely ours. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. We always felt informed, supported, and confident in what came next. No question was too small, and every concern was met with care and professionalism. The food was another highlight—absolutely delicious—and they were incredibly accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions, making sure all of our guests felt considered and included. What truly sets Shannon and John apart, though, is their philosophy. They are dedicated to creating a beautiful, meaningful experience that doesn’t come with unnecessary stress or overwhelming costs. You get all the perks of a stunning, well-run wedding without the pressure and anxiety that can come with more extravagant venues. They focus on what really matters—helping you create unforgettable memories. By the end of the process, they didn’t just feel like coordinators—they felt like friends. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t recommend Shannon and John, and Bay Vista Ballroom, more highly.”

“Luxe Weddings & Events delivered an exceptional experience from beginning to end. LaGina, the owner and operator, curated a seamless team of professional vendors — including florals, photography, catering, décor, and more — ensuring every detail was executed with precision and care. The atmosphere she created was filled with love, warmth, and an intimate elegance that made the entire celebration truly unforgettable. One of the greatest strengths of Luxe Weddings & Events is their one‑stop‑shopping approach. From vendor coordination to design execution, every service was handled under one umbrella, making the planning process smooth, efficient, and remarkably stress‑free. The bride was made to feel completely comfortable and supported throughout, even with a full schedule and many moving parts. Their ability to deliver a luxury‑level experience while remaining mindful of budget was especially impressive, offering thoughtful solutions without compromising beauty or quality. The 360 booth was also a major highlight of the evening — a guest favorite that added an interactive, memorable touch to the celebration. LaGina’s dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt approach truly set her company apart. Luxe Weddings & Events is an outstanding choice for couples seeking an intimate, love‑centered, beautifully coordinated event with the convenience of comprehensive, one‑stop service.”

Now, more than ever, it is important to cherish the time we spend with love ones.

“Buffy and the entire Lifelong team were amazing!! From our initial call, we appreciated their professionalism and organization. We started with an engagment photo shoot and the weather disrupted our planned location but Buffy came through with an awesome back up option. It was our first photoshoot as a couple but she made us feel comfortable and confident and helped us lean into our chemistry, which really shows in the photos! On our wedding day, Buffy and team came prepared with so many touches to add to our detail shots and a film camera as we requested. Buffy was my hype girl and the photos show it. She had so many clever ideas for shots and throughout the night added even more. The team made sure to capture all of the shots we wanted with family, friends, dancing, and special moments plus so many creative shots! 10/10! The editing team does a great job giving such a magical touch to the photos. We love Lifelong and definitely recommend them for your wedding!”

“Dave was the most incredible and thorough DJ! He was available from the moment we booked him as a DJ all the way up to our wedding day. At one point during dinner, he even went up to the bar to get me a drink because mine spilt. He responded to our wedding crowd and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. He has so much experience at weddings that he was even able to help guide us with a wedding reception timeline. He has the best quality equipment and all the speeches and music were very clear. I can’t recommend Dave with Celebrations 24 enough. We gave Dave a few specific song requests for the ceremony and reception, but for the most part we trusted him to just play the most crowd pleasing songs and certain genres and he did it perfectly. Our wedding would not have been as fun if it wasn’t for DJ Dave. We are so grateful and appreciative!”

BARMAN EMPORIUM EVENTS LLC 
Rating: 4.9 (18 reviews)

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Gulfport, FL

Barman Emporium Events LLC. is a licensed and insured company that currently services Central and West Florida (formerly servicing in PA & NJ). We are a dedicated, professional cocktail and waitstaff company with our employees RAMP or TIPS certified. We offer many different packages for all types of events.

“I found Holly Anne while searching for staffing for our wedding reception at a non-traditional venue that doesn’t do many weddings. I was delighted to learn that Holly Anne coordinates multiple events businesses which meant we only had to go through one person to coordinate our wait staff, bartenders, rentals, and day-of coordination. This made things so, so much easier and we got a great discount. **Rentals (Emporium Events Group):** Staff dropped off our tablecloths, glassware, and high-tops the day before the wedding for us to setup and picked up around 12pm on Sunday afterward. (The bar arrived and left with the bartenders.) They were on time and great with loading/unloading. The rentals were easy to box up for returns. Note that the tablecloths came folded, so prepare to spend some time steaming if creases matter to you (they didn’t to us — everything looked great). **Staffing(Emporium Events Group):** The wait staff and bartenders were friendly and helpful all night, and smoothly made sure the alcohol and china were stowed away as directed. When we ran out of a few mixers, the bartenders were able to improvise and keep the mood up. Holly Anne & the catering staff were able to improvise food setup when our original plan didn’t work out, and it was a beautiful spread. **DOC (Forget me Knot Productions):** Holly Anne and her team are very capable professionals. She actually went out on her own to tour our venue when we couldn’t get our times to match up and gave great advice on setup, especially for the bar area and flow in a non-traditional space that doesn’t host many weddings. She met with us for several prep calls before the day of the wedding to ask good questions and help us clarify the run-of-show. She and her assistant DOC Miriam arrived on time and immediately set to work helping direct parking & catering staff. I think the best testament to Holly Anne’s experience and attention to detail is that we neglected to develop an extensive rain plan: We said “Oh, we’ll do it in X building” and then left it at that. Well, it DID rain, but my wife and I didn’t have to spend time thinking about how to adapt — Holly Anne worked with our officiant and photographer to figure out a layout for the ceremony space, an entrance for us, and a makeshift aisle while we were getting ready. One of the great things about Holly Anne was that she knew when to act/just do something and when to consult the couple when our input was necessary (eg, how we were walking down the aisle). As with any wedding, there were logistical surprises to manage, but most of them we got wind of blissfully after the fact! We would happily recommend Emporium Events Group and Forget-Me-Knot Pro LLC to any Philadelphia-area couples looking for great value, experienced touches in nontraditional space, and a team that works well together across multiple vendors. Thank you!”
