Kinspoke 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Lakewood Ranch, FL
  • Florist

Let us elevate your event with artisan florals and installations, detail-oriented coordination, personalized elegant design. Your event will be entirely unique and your dream, a rich and vibrant reality.

Working with Kinspoke was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding! My husband and I had a small beach ceremony and I envisioned bold, tropical flowers to stand out against the neutral tones of the beach. I know nothing about flowers and Olivia was able to piece together exactly what I had in mind. Olivia did such an amazing job creating a mood board to allow me to preview some ideas and gave me tons of options to choose from. She was so easy and professional to work with as well! Looking back on my wedding photos, the bouquets are still one of my favorite aspects of the photos and I get tons of compliments on them! I highly recommend Kinspoke for any wedding floral needs! They are just wonderful!

Wedding photography is a family heirloom to be treasured and passed down through the generations. It is a great responsibility to photograph your wedding and one that I am honored that you are considering me for. Weddings are fun, hectic, sometimes chaotic days, filled with laughs, tears of joy, and a celebration of lifelong love. I will be with you from the start of your wedding planning process and after. While many of the vendors you pick you will only interact with just once or twice until the wedding day, your photographer is your partner both before and after the wedding. Contact us to learn more about our exceptional service team.

We hired Shutter Speak for our wedding and it was the perfect choice. Joe was professional and very detail oriented. He took a mixture of posed and candid shots, some color and some black-and-white. He worked particularly well with the children ("say pizza!") and we have some terrific pictures of them dancing and having fun. At the end, he created a beautiful photo slideshow that I was able to share on Facebook, as well as wedding albums we and our family will be able to treasure for years to come. I highly recommend Shutter Speak!

She was energetic and constantly moving to make sure that she captured our day from different angles before the sun set. She was easy to work with and told us how to stand so that we didn’t look too awkward or staged. She even got my 3-year-old nephew to stop moving around and actually look at the camera by giving him a shell to hold which worked perfectly. We received our fully edited pictures back quickly, which was perfect as we are using them in our thank-you cards.

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

Ever After Farms Lemon Lime Wedding Venue is a beautiful and well-maintained property that was a pleasure to work with. The staff is incredibly responsive and communicative, always keeping me up-to-date on the planning process. They are very detail-oriented and made sure every aspect of the event ran smoothly. The venue itself is stunning, with lush greenery and charming rustic details that provided the perfect backdrop for the wedding. I highly recommend Ever After Farms to any couple looking for a picturesque and stress-free wedding venue experience.
