Weddings

Destination & beach

Destination weddings and beach weddings planned around the ceremony, reception, rentals, weather and guest experience.

Rehearsal

Rehearsal & dinner

What we design and install

The wedding environment, built around your guests.

Beyond coordination, we shape the physical experience of the day – ceremony layouts, tent interiors, tabletop, lighting, florals and guest flow – so every space feels intentional and fully finished.

Ceremony layout

Aisle, altar and guest sightlines

We plan and install the ceremony setup itself – chairs, aisle lines, focal point, entry sequence and shoreline or lawn placement – so the vows, photos and guest comfort all work together.

Your wedding timeline

Five steps,engagement to reception.

Every wedding follows a clear, predictable cadence — even short-notice engagements. A dedicated consultant stays with you from the first meeting through the wedding day.

01
Step 1 · Meet

Listen before we design

We meet with you to learn about you, your partner and the wedding at hand. This grounds every decision that follows — venue choice, tent type, tabletop direction, vendor selection.

Discovery meetingVision & prioritiesNon-negotiables

02
Step 2 · Q&A

Theme & logistics

We answer theme questions, venue recommendations, guest-accommodation options, transportation logistics, rehearsal-dinner ideas and any other question you bring.

Theme directionVenue guidanceGuest logistics

03
Step 3 · Written review

Minutes & outline

We prepare a written review of the meeting, then begin an outline of the wedding — ceremony, reception, design direction, rentals and coordination plan.

Step 4 · Present

Confirm & hone

A second meeting to confirm and hone our recommendations — design, tent selection, tabletop, floral treatments, timeline and budget — with the couple and (if involved) the families.

Step 5 · Coordinate

Vendors & setup

Once plans are locked, we contract all suppliers, coordinate pre-event meetings, supervise setup and do final confirmations on every detail. Your job is the dress fittings.

The earlier the better, especially for peak-season dates, tented receptions and multi-location weekends. If your date is closer, reach out anyway — we can quickly tell you what is still realistic based on venue, rentals and crew availability.

Yes. We can coordinate with your venue, florist, caterer, photographer, band or any other vendors you've already chosen, or recommend trusted partners when you still need to build the team.

Weather planning is part of the job. For outdoor weddings, we build backup plans around tenting, surface conditions, layout changes, guest flow and installation timing so the event can still run smoothly if conditions shift.

Yes. We can coordinate as much or as little as you need. Some couples want full planning and production, while others need help with specific pieces like tenting, tabletop, decor, layout or day-of logistics.

Yes. We can coordinate lodging, transportation, guest movement between venues and the additional logistics that come with destination weddings, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and farewell brunches.

We serve Southwest Florida, with primary coverage in Marco Island north to Sarasota and inland to Clewiston. If your wedding includes multiple venues or destination-style logistics elsewhere in the region, we can discuss the scope during the first conversation.
