“Dorcas was great from the very beginning. She made everything so easy and helped put the whole package together with the catering, bartender, photographer, DJ, and décor. Everyone did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the bartender was fun, the DJ played exactly what we wanted, and Susan made everything look beautiful. It was all set up just the way I pictured it. I felt like I was probably a little difficult because I knew exactly what I wanted and was very straightforward, but Dorcas never made me feel that way. She was always kind and reassuring. The pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included, and I honestly didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Everything went smoothly, and we had such a great time. I would definitely recommend them!”

Hello friends! My name is Mariella. I’m 28 year old, a wife, a girl mama, and proud business owner! I have always loved everything about weddings. From start to finish I love the aspect of planning every detail and bringing a vison to life. My passion for this industry has grown throughout the years. After working under another planner my love for this grew even stronger and that's when I decided it's time to start my own business and take this journey at full force. I absolutely love what I do!

“My wife, Summer, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2024. This year, I decided to apply to Wish Upon a Wedding in hopes of giving Summer the day she always hoped for. Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit organization that gifts weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal or life-changing illnesses. When they came into our lives, Summer and I were in a season where joy felt complicated and hope looked very different than we imagined. Through Wish Upon a Wedding, we were paired with our wedding planner, Married by Mariella. Mariella donated her time, talent, and heart completely free of charge. What’s important to say is that Mariella didn’t just coordinate our vow renewal. She planned it from the ground up, picking every single vendor and executing the day completely. She took Summer’s vision and brought it to life with care, intention, and deep respect for what this moment meant to us. Every detail reflected the image Summer and I had hoped for, and Mariella carried that responsibility with such grace. She led with compassion and patience, making the process feel calm and supported rather than overwhelming. There was never pressure, never rushing, and never an expectation for us to pretend things were easy. Because of Wish Upon a Wedding and Mariella’s selfless generosity, Summer and I were able to stand together, renew our vows, and experience joy without guilt in the middle of a very heavy season. Mariella and Rachael made this the best day of our lives. We will always be grateful, not just for a beautiful day, but for a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. We could never thank her enough!”

We’re Central Florida Weddings—a wedding photography studio for couples who want gorgeous photos without feeling like their entire wedding day turned into one giant photoshoot. Our style is romantic, editorial-inspired, and full of real moments. We’ll give you direction when you need it (because “just act natural” is possibly the least helpful photography advice ever), make sure you look amazing, and then get out of the way so you can get back to actually enjoying your wedding. Think beautiful portraits, happy tears, questionable dance moves, champagne flying, and all the little moments you didn’t even realize were happening. Basically, you enjoy the party. We’ll make it look really, really good.

“Planning a wedding is no small feat, but working with Central Florida Weddings made our experience not only smooth—but truly unforgettable. From the moment we reached out for a consultation, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail stood out. Every photo they captured feels like it belongs in a bridal magazine, Jessica had an incredible eye for candid emotion, elegant poses, and those once-in-a-lifetime moments that pass in a blink. I am so happy we used her. As a husband-and-wife team Ryan works along side Jessica capturing all those moments and his work setting our video to music was fantastic. Im so glad we used Central Florida Weddings for they deliver the kind of quality, heart, and expertise that makes your wedding memories last a lifetime. They’re not just vendors—they become a part of your story.”

“I can’t recommend Graingertainment enough!! Gary kept the party alive all night. I gave him a set of songs I liked for each part of the night and he mixed them beautifully and added his own spin. The owner, Chris, let us interview a few djs to make sure we found the right fit, which helped my indecisive brain tremendously. After talking to a few, I knew I couldn’t go wrong but Gary was a mix of everything we were looking for, I was so worried when I had to go cut the cake my dance floor would die, but I came back to it even more lively than when I left. This was among the many moments I knew I made the right choice. I honestly think Adams Estate should make them a required vendor!!!”

"I'm a witness of Life in its best moments" Hi, I'm Nacho! A professional Photographer seeking beauty and real life moments, I help nervous & shy couples relax and enjoy their day. First, I am a kind person. Then, a skilled seeker of unforgettable memories. I am the one who appreciates the smallest details. I am the witness of life in its best versions and the custodian of the fact that everything was real. This is me, Nacho! The fortunate stranger who today has the pleasure of saying that he captures love where others only see a simple wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Hands down the best wedding decision we made was hiring Nacho - and my husband says it all the time! Nacho is incredibly talented at getting the perfect shots but his service is so much more than his photography. He seamlessly fits whatever role is needed in the moment - handling stressful family situations, helping navigate busy timelines, keeping things moving and bringing a genuine “good energy” to the day. He showed up as our photographer but ended the day as everyone’s favorite person. My 4 year old niece still asks about him every day! He leaves a lasting impression and his photos truly capture every moment and emotion that we all want to remember from our wedding days. (Side note: he is very talented at understanding lighting and I’m blown away at how well he captured the natural sunlight during golden hour.) I am beyond thankful that we hired Nacho and highly recommend him for any event or wedding. Extra: Our photography package included an engagement shoot. However, on the day of the shoot a hurricane came through Florida and we had to cancel so Nacho offered us a photo book after the wedding. And let me tell you, this photo book isn’t just any photo book. The quality is unlike anything I have seen. It truly is an heirloom-quality memory book with thick, archival cardstock pages. I highly encourage you to add on Nacho’s photo books if you can!”

With over 16 years of experience in the events and hospitality industry, we specialize in wedding management tailored for the Boss Babe Brides. We're not just your planners; we're your added best friend throughout the journey, ensuring that your wedding day dreams become a reality.

“Hailey and her team were truly exceptional, and hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our February wedding. Planning from Ohio while hosting our celebration in Miami could have been overwhelming, but they stepped in with such calm confidence that the entire process felt easy. They took over communication with our vendor team, reviewed contracts to ensure we met every requirement, and were always our eyes and ears on the ground when we couldn’t be there in person. One of the biggest gifts was their incredible rental collection — being able to source all of our décor directly through them made planning from afar so much simpler, and everything they set up on the day was absolutely gorgeous. They handled every detail with so much care: setting up all the décor so our families didn’t have to do a thing, picking up our desserts and bridal‑party lunch, and keeping the entire day running smoothly from start to finish. They also went above and beyond in ways that truly showed their heart. When one of our guests’ shoes broke, Hailey quietly fixed it so they could get back to enjoying the night. And when it came time to bustle my dress, she was endlessly patient while gently instructing my very enthusiastic (and very tipsy) bustle crew — turning what could have been chaos into a moment we still laugh about. At the end of the night, they even handed us a “go bag” of food, which was the sweetest, most thoughtful touch after a whirlwind day. We absolutely loved working with Hailey and her team and would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They made our day beautiful, seamless, and full of joy.”

I started photography back in high school as a hobby, but I really found my passion as an adult. I was working in the legal field for a couple of years when I had my son in August of 2023. I wanted to be home with him, but still be able to provide financially. I picked up photography again from there, and easily saw how much I loved it and wanted to make it my career. I love, love. Being able to see it every day and make so many people feel beautiful, is truly why I love my job.

“The Best Experience If you’re looking for a photographer who makes taking photos feel comfortable, natural, and actually easy—look no further! She has such a way of making you feel completely at ease, even when your man absolutely hates taking pictures. She made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and effortless, and somehow managed to capture the sweetest, most genuine moments without anything feeling forced. We are SO happy with our photos and even happier that the process was such a great experience. We have them hanging at home, in our office and at families homes. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a husband/boyfriend who would rather be literally anywhere else than in front of a camera!”

“Outstanding musicianship and song choices. Interacted with crowd. Took short breaks, played great tunes during their breaks and kept the party moving.”

We started our Ranch in 2008 with just cattle. We built our house here in 2011 and in 2012 our son and daughter in law decided to have their wedding here. After that we had a lot of people asking to have a wedding or an event here, so we decided to build our Barn to share our beautiful property for weddings, receptions, parties, fundraiser or special event.

“Sackett Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was efficient, concise and attentive. The venue itself is like a dream - rustic, spacious and beautifully maintained with picturesque views. When we were short on a tablecloth, the event coordinator promptly brought one by for us to borrow. The quality of their work and overall value was gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better setting to celebrate our special day.”
