Awarded Best of Zola
We live in Massachusetts but my husband is from Sarasota so we wanted to get married in Florida. Bakers Ranch made everything so easy especially since we were from out of town. The entire planning process was relatively stress free because they include and help with so much. The fact that I had someone to email with and ask questions the entire year of planning was huge. Missy was our day of coordinator and she made sure everything ran smoothly. It really took away stress on the wedding day. They provide almost all vendors but you still get a choice (shout out to DJ Rafael with Grant Hemond, Blue Water Catering & Tampa Bay Cake Co). While we wished there was an additional dinner catering option (there were only 2) we were still very happy with Blue Water. They can also help with outside vendors and give recommendations. I highly recommend this venue and it felt like the best bang for our buck!

I am the Mother of the Bride and feel so enthusiastic about Precious Moments Events, that I wanted to submit this review in addition to the bride's review. Michelle's expertise with vendors, floral arrangements, venues, etc., helped our planning immensely. Her vendors are incredible: from the photographer to the DJ to her in-house florist... her people all came together to make the wedding day incredibly special. Michelle responded to our questions quickly and always had solutions ready to go. What really stood out was her eye for detail in every aspect of the day—the flowers were absolutely stunning and exactly what we envisioned (the bride's bouquet was perfect). Furthermore, she was sensitive to our budget and worked with us to keep within our parameters. This impressed me. Michelle's team clearly cared about making our daughter's wedding special, and it showed in their work.

Emma-Rose photographed our beach wedding beautifully and we highly recommend Sandhill Photography! 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

After years working with luxury and global brands in NYC and beyond, I realized the thing I cared about most was never just the aesthetics. It was always the people. The energy of a room. The feeling guests leave with. The little details that make something feel alive and completely unforgettable. That is still the heart behind Edition Fourteen today. I truly believe the best celebrations are the ones that feel like an extension of the people they are celebrating, and getting to create that alongside my clients never stops feeling special to me.

Kyela and her team at Fourteen Weddings & Events, LLC is truly exceptional! Kyela was the coordinator for my wedding, and I honestly can’t imagine the day without her. She went above and beyond in ways I didn’t even know I needed. One of the most meaningful things she did was take over my social media for the day, which allowed me to be fully present while still ending up with the most genuine, candid memories of our wedding. The behind the scene dance videos are some of my favorite memories. Being able to relive those moments over and over again is such a gift. Kyela also paid incredible attention to the small details that made everything feel so personal and thoughtful; like the beautiful custom labels with our names and wedding date on all of the champagne served. Those little touches elevated the entire experience and made our wedding feel uniquely us. And the champagne cart was one of the most beautiful elements of the day. All of our guests asked us where we got it! Kyela is organized, creative, and genuinely cares about her couples. If you’re looking for a coordinator who will treat your wedding like it truly matters, Fourteen Weddings & Events is the way to go. I can’t recommend Kyela highly enough.

If you want absolutely stunning wedding photos and to work with two of the nicest people on earth, then look no further than Beth Joy Photography. Working with Bethany and John was such a delight from the very moment we had our initial call. We were lucky enough to have our engagement photos taken by Bethany and John and we had such a fun day in Downtown St. Pete. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable and as if we weren't even having our picture taken. Our engagement pictures were stunning and we were so excited to have them photograph our wedding, as well. Throughout our engagement, Bethany kept in touch and made sure we were up to speed with everything. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. As the wedding day approached, Bethany worked with our wedding planner to finalize the timeline details and ensured that she had a list of all of our requested shots and family photo combinations. When wedding day arrived, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We were so fortunate to have Bethany, John, and Amy (Bethany's sister) photograph our day. The three of them are truly the most genuine, fun, and caring people you will meet and they were such a joy to work with. Not only that, but they captured the most amazing photographs and we are still FLOORED at how beautiful the pictures are. We have yet to create a photo album because we just may have to include every photo since they are all THAT good. Bethany, John, and Amy truly have an eye for capturing the perfect lighting and colors (our sunset photos were to die for). They made us feel at ease during our couples portraits and managed to sneak some amazing candid shots. We cannot thank Beth Joy Photography enough for the most amazing gift of our beautiful wedding photos. We will treasure them forever!

From our first conversation with the team at Whispering Palms Barn, we knew we had found our venue. They were incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, answering every question we had with patience and clarity. On our wedding day, the staff went out of their way to accommodate our requests and kept everything running smoothly without making us stress about a single detail. The barn itself is stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration without breaking the bank. We've talked to so many couples since our wedding, and honestly, the nicest people we've ever worked with are the Whispering Palms team.

Amber was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographer! As an out-of-town bride, I was a bit nervous about trusting someone I hadn’t met in person, but Amber made the entire process so easy and stress-free. From our first communication, she was kind, professional, and incredibly helpful, giving me the confidence I needed from afar. On the wedding day, Amber went above and beyond—not only capturing the most beautiful, timeless photos but also offering support in so many ways. She helped organize the bridal party, guided us through the timeline, and kept everything running smoothly, all while making us feel at ease. The photos are beyond stunning, truly capturing the emotion and magic of the day.

AnaFloral was absolutely incredible. We wanted a very colorful wedding with specific flowers in mind, and they patiently tweaked every quote and visual with us until it was absolute perfection. As two brides with similar but different tastes, they were so thoughtful in making sure each bouquet truly reflected each of us individually. That level of care meant everything. The trust we placed in AnaFloral was met and exceeded — they executed our vision exactly as we imagined. When we finally saw the florals, we were completely blown away by how breathtaking they were.

Working with Alisa and her husband for our wedding photos at the Powel Crosley estate was an amazing experience. She's battle tested, in the best way, and always knew exactly what to do and when to do it. I felt completely secure and supported the whole day. She helped me fix a small stain on my dress, bustled it in lightning speed, and kept the energy fresh, fun, and funky throughout. I love our wedding photos and will cherish them forever. Hiring her is a no brainer! I can't recommend her enough.

Wow. Bianca was an absolute breeze and pleasure to work with. Her calming presence and professionalism are EXACTLY what I needed on my wedding day, and we had a lot of fun! She went above and beyond for me. My hair was being unreasonable due to a bad product I had used the day before, but she was patient and extremely knowledgeable. She took what I showed her in inspiration photos and made it look even better. My hair and makeup turned out ABSOLUTELY PERFECT - I couldn’t have asked for more. AND it lasted all day/night on the breezy beach, through many tears of joy. So so happy to have chosen her! Most of the businesses in the area wouldn’t even allow for just bridal makeup without having to purchase a full party package, and our budget didn’t allow for covering everyone’s, so I was very grateful to find Bianca. She for sure nailed it, made me look & feel like a princess, so, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! I know I’m just a stranger on the internet, but trust me, there’s no need to waste time searching for anyone else!
