Our goal is to take the stress off of you so that you can enjoy your event to the fullest. No matter what your budget and style are, we love a challenge.

We truly can't say enough amazing things about Swanky, specifically Elizabeth, Jackie, and Christina! We had the first phone call with Christina to decide what we truly wanted and needed to capture our wedding vision - she was so patient and helpful in sticking to our growing budget. Elizabeth was our head wedding planner for the month before and ay of our wedding and I truly don't know how she made it all possible. She was so patient in all of my questions and emails and phone calls. When the weather took a turn for a cold outdoor wedding she instantly reached out to rental companies for heaters and helped us book them on the week of our wedding. She was the perfect wedding planner and always communicated with me, which is exactly what I wanted as a very involved bride! Jackie, her assistant for the day of wedding was equally as incredible and made everything possible, getting drinks for me and my bridesmaids during they bustled my dress, took my veil and bouquet for safe keeping, etc. I know there were so many behind the scene tasks that Andy and I did not even know about so please know we appreciate everything you all did and more! You made our wedding so incredibly special!!

Al has been delighting audiences for his entire career. With his souring voice & subtle phrasing, he transforms any song into a "musical journey." His vocal stylings will make you swear that Bobby Darin, Louie Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, Elvis or Sinatra are in the room, singing! His stage presence & comedic timing will have you laughing till you cry & then his romantic ballads and beautiful Broadway melodies, will put a lump in your throat. All truly does it all!

Al is a multi-talented vocalist and musician with many years of experience entertaining audiences, both large and small, and on stages all over the country, including Atlantic City and New York City. His musical talent and ability to sing many different genres is amazing. Al is a master showman, and I cannot recommend him more highly as an amazing choice for your wedding or for any other special event.

Hi! I am Julia. I am specializing in documenting love stories taking place all throughout the world. I love working with different cultures, languages and in the most incredible locations. I adore capturing and preserving the memory, heart, and soul of an event, family and couple. My approach is both editorial and artistic. Not simply documenting moments as they happen but also carefully crafting the compositions of those moments. My aim is to deliver an aesthetic that is effortlessly romantic, timeless and emotive. Mostly I want my couples to look at their images and feel the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of the day all over again.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Julia from Fantasmic Photography for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our photos and video, Julia was nothing short of professional, creative, and accommodating. Julia really captured the essence of our special day with such an artistic eye. The candid moments, along with the beautifully composed shots, told our wedding story in the most magical way. Every photograph was crisp, vibrant, and full of emotion. We were especially impressed with how she seamlessly captured the little details—like the flowers, rings, and our guests' reactions—that we didn't even notice in the moment. The video was absolutely breathtaking! Julia’s videography managed to blend the joy, love, and energy of our day into a cinematic masterpiece. The editing was flawless, with the right music and pacing that made it feel like a movie. Watching our wedding video felt like reliving the entire day all over again, and it truly brought tears to our eyes. She also provided us with both a highlight reel and a full-length video, which was a great touch. What stood out the most was Julia's professionalism and attention to detail. She blended into the background during the day, capturing moments without interrupting or making us feel rushed. Her friendly demeanor and clear communication made the entire process so much easier. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who will not only capture your wedding day but make it unforgettable, Julia at Fantasmic Photography is the way to go!

Jam All Day Entertainment

  • Serves Venice, FL

Jam All Day Sound and Entertainment began from my love of music and motivating people to dance and have a great time. I’m passionate about what I do and the energy and excitement I bring to each event has led to my success. I feel blessed that my clients go out of their way to recommend me to their friends and family. I love hearing about how everyone enjoyed the music selection and how it appealed to all age groups.

Jamaal was an absolutely incredible DJ who went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. After being severely impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we had to switch venues and move from a ballroom to a tent. Despite all the challenges, Jamaal showed professionalism and dedication. We especially loved the photo mirror he brought—it was such a fun, modern twist on the classic photo booth! He provided plenty of props that our guests loved using for memorable photos, and gave us a book with a collection of photos our guests had taken through out the evening via the mirror, such a special gift from our day! Jamaal also brought beautiful uplighting that transformed our tent into the ultimate dancing destination. He handled every detail with care, creating special and unique moments that truly made our day feel like ours. I would highly recommend Jamaal to anyone looking for an experienced, fun DJ who knows how to get people on the dance floor—and who can even pronounce the trickiest last names flawlessly!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

  • Serves Venice, FL

My journey with photography began about twelve years ago when my love of making art and appreciation of history came together. During my formal fine art training with film photography and the darkroom, I learned how to be truly intentional with the images I make. Today, I am constantly inspired and influenced by the world around me: books, movies, fashion editorials, traveling, and even my very own Cajun roots. All of this leads me to have a photographic style that has a balance of fine art, editorial, and intentional documentary vision. My approach can be best described as timeless with an artful touch.

Taylor captures every moment you never knew you needed of your wedding day! She was a joy to have as a part of our destination wedding weekend! She’s always thinking of your final product while laser focused on capturing the moments throughout your day. Highly recommend.

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. She has spent countless hours training with some of the best sugar artists in the world. Her main objective is to uniquely design each and every cake to help make your event a very special occasion.

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!

GROVE was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff were thorough, kind, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made our planning so easy. The venue itself was beautiful, affordable, and inclusive - we only had to hire a couple of outside vendors since GROVE provides so many wonderful amenities. Our guests cannot stop raving about the delicious food and cake that was provided. The staff were also very professional and made our special day run seamlessly. We are so grateful to GROVE for helping to make our wedding day truly perfect.

Hi, I’m Lily, the owner of Face by Lily Rose! With 4 years of experience I am passionate about enhancing natural beauty and making clients feel confident. Makeup is more than just applying products it’s an art. I specialize in bridal, special events, and headshots, focusing on radiant, long-lasting looks. My goal is to provide a personalized, luxury experience where you feel your absolute best. Let’s create something beautiful together!

I had the privilege to work with Lily for my destination wedding in Italy during May 2024. She really took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. I did do a trial with her before the wedding, and she was so receptive to any feedback and was able to make my vision come to life. I absolutely felt like a beautiful, blushing bride on my wedding day. Lily was around during the wedding for any touchups I needed. I would recommend Lily to anyone I know.
