    Absolutely blown away

    Absolutely blown away by First Coast Weddings and Events! From start to finish, they made the entire planning process feel effortless. They took our scattered ideas and turned them into a beautifully cohesive vision that felt so “us.” On the wedding day, everything flowed perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Their team was warm, organized, and incredibly responsive. If you want a wedding that’s stylish, smooth, and full of heart, this is the team to trust.

    I Was Able To Enjoy My Wedding Day!

    Working with First Coast Weddings and Events was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very first meeting, they made us feel heard, supported, and completely at ease. Their attention to detail was incredible, and they handled everything with such professionalism and grace. Our planner kept everything running smoothly on the big day so we could truly relax and enjoy every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a more seamless experience or a more caring team. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a stress-free planning process!

We have two levels of service: Wedding Planning and Wedding Management. Wedding management (sometimes called "day of coordination") allows you to plan everything on your own, but we'll take the reins the month of the wedding so you can relax and have fun! Wedding Planning includes everything from selecting the venue to choosing the smallest details. We will oversee all aspects of the wedding, including selection of wedding professionals, creating a cohesive design, and orchestrating the wedding day. We offer both partial and full wedding planning packages, and all of our packages are customizable.
50% of your package fee is due at the time of booking. Once this initial payment and your signed contract are received, your date is officially confirmed on our calendar. Additional payments are typically due 6 months and 2 months prior to the wedding; these due dates will be specified in your proposal.
Most of our weddings take place in the Jacksonville metro area of Duval, Clay, St Johns and Nassau counties. We frequently work in Jacksonville, St Augustine, Palm Coast, Green Cove Springs, and Ponte Vedra Beach. If your wedding is outside these areas, there may be travel fees added to the cost of our services. We can talk about the specifics during a get-acquainted phone call or Zoom meeting.
A venue coordinator works for - you guessed it - the venue. Their primary responsibility is to the venue. Their job is to fulfill the contractual obligations of the venue, but they may also be overseeing multiple events at the same time. A wedding coordinator works for you and will have your best interests at the forefront. They know your vision, your expectations, and what you’ve contracted with other wedding professionals, and are there to make all those things happen.
