We can't wait to hear from you, learn your love story, and create photo magic together!

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Beth Joy Photography before we actually even picked a venue and wedding date because I knew I wanted her and her husband to take our wedding/engagement photos! So much so that we made sure our wedding venue/date coordinated with their calendar before booking it. I cannot express to you how incredibly lucky we feel to have had our pictures taken by them. Of course the way they softly edit photos while bringing the color and brightness to life won us over initially, but the communication, timely turn around, the way they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, their helpfulness, dependency, organization, and genuine kindness, are just some of the many other reasons we would recommend them to everyone! You truly won't be disappointed and I am sure you will love your pictures and experience with them just as much as we did!

Sun Flowers By Elizabeth

Sarasota, FL
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,500

Sun Flowers by Elizabeth (our middle name!) Was born in 2019 when we decided to take our love for events, hospitality, and of course—FLOWERS and turn it into our dream job. Since then, we have been lucky enough to provide beautiful floral design services for over 150 weddings. We have also been featured in various regionally and nationally recognized wedding magazines, blogs, and publications.

We hired Pia as a 6-week coordinator and florist for our wedding this last September, but she was so much more! Pia began helping with recommendations and advice over e-mail/zoom long before the 6 week mark and I could not have made it through the wedding planning process without her. The “coordinator” at my venue changed several times throughout the year and it was so reassuring to know that I had Pia as a constant who knew all of the details. Just because your venue states a coordinator is provided, does not mean you shouldn’t hire your own! Their coordinator will focus on the venue, but Pia focused on us first. She ensured our day was exactly what we dreamed of and took care of all contact with my vendors in the 6 weeks leading up to the wedding! She handled the minor hiccups that came our way without a hitch and always provided a calming, reassuring hand. Our florals and decor were exactly what I hoped for and so beautiful! It took my breath away when I first saw her bring my bouquet to the bridal suite. I highly recommend 1000% and cannot thank you enough for everything Pia!!!

Dog mom of two, wife, lover of flowers, dance, music and tacos! The Crafts & Cocktails Co. was born back in 2019 when I hosted a crafting party with a cocktail demonstration for a group of friends, and was peer pressured into starting this fun little side business! I hold a degree in Event Management from the University of Central Florida, and after 10 years of corporate event planning a good friend reached out in 2021 asking for help with her wedding. We sat down to organize her files and tie loose ends and the sense of relief she felt at the end of our coffee date was everything to me! Ever since then, it's been wedding bliss!

BOOK Crafts & Cocktails NOW, you won't regret it! Amanda and Melissa went above and beyond for us from day one and we can't thank them enough for helping make our day so special. We used their Day of Coordination option and it was a godsend to my perfectionistic soul. I really wanted to find someone who could help me take care of the nitty gritty details so I could fully immerse and enjoy our wedding day. They help you think of and answer all the questions... even the ones you don't even know you have. Our family and friends adored them and were equally amazed by all the heart and soul they put into our wedding. The Crafts & Cocktails team is worth every penny! They make you feel like you are their one and only priority. They took our vision of an intimate backyard/in home wedding and made it more beautiful, personalized, and perfect than we ever imagined it could be. We can't thank and recommend them enough!!

Baking and working with sugar has been a passion of Rocio’s from an early age — her gift of natural talent inherited from her mother.

We were unsure of what combos would go together for a great cake, but Rocio made it easy and allowed us to try more if we didn’t love what we got. We opted for carrot cake and southern pecan, both with cream cheese frosting and it tasted INCREDIBLE! We got a navy cake with gold flecks and florals. Funniest part of the navy cake frosting was everyone’s mouths turning blue at the end of the night - so keep that in mind brides, you’ll be in for a laugh when you want a dark cake!

This occurred from our initial consultation and fact-finding inquiries and visits. This continued through the planning and implementation process of our event! Never did I ever imagine how smooth everything would go. Laura always provided the details and clarification of anything that I may have missed or just needed additional information on and the security staff worked efficiently to make sure we were able to store necessary items in a safe location for before and after our event. Carolyn and her kitchen/catering staff with Constellations Catering Group were phenomenal! We do not say this lightly! Carolyn was super communicative and at any point and time was able to be reached quickly when needed. I have never met a friendlier more down to earth person while still making sure that the business needs are still addressed professionally and promptly. THANK YOU CAROLYN! From A to Z, the food and service were superb and on point. The Kitchen and catering staff are highly recommended. They catered to our every need and the food is the best that I have ever experienced in my 30 years of attending business and personal events. We continue to get raving compliments from our guests about the wonderful service and simply delicious food that we enjoyed during our event on 04/20/2024! Thank you again to the entire Team! You all outdid yourselves, and we are truly grateful for your wonderful hospitality!

Marc Mannino, Guitarist 

5.0

Sarasota, FL
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $400

Guitarist Marc Mannino performs elegant music for weddings, cocktail hour receptions, anniversaries and vow renewals. For over thirty years, Marc Mannino’s instrumental guitar music has been part of joyous wedding celebrations in the Sarasota – Bradenton area. He specializes in destination beach weddings on beautiful Anna Maria Island, Longboat and Siesta Keys, and along the beaches of St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida.

I have worked with Marc Mannino many times and hired him for my own events and weddings. He is amazing solo, duo or leading an ensemble. He adds so much warmth to a ceremony or reception. He is always on time, communicative, looks and acts professional and most importantly...talented! I would not only not hesitate to hire Marc again in the future, but I look forward to the next time we have an opportunity to work together.
