About

Bringing over two decades of experience in weddings and events, Blue Thistle is comprised of dynamic duo Steph and Christy. Steph brings an immaculate eye for all things design, while Christy brings high-touch hospitality experience and a keen eye for logistics.

From our Founder, Steph: I founded Blue Thistle Productions under the belief that weddings should not be a checklist of haves and have-nots, but instead, it should be an opportunity to tell a couple’s unique story and to share it with family and friends. Every aspect, big or small, should feel personal to you. I believe that weddings should be as formal and traditional, or informal and unique, as you want. There is no wrong or right way; this is your weekend, and it should feel 100% like you!

If you haven’t already guessed, I am completely and totally obsessed with my job. As a wedding planner, I enjoy speaking to my clients regularly and keeping communication lines open. I love getting to know my clients at a personal level throughout the planning process. I can’t get enough of design brainstorms--tell me all about your design ideas, and/or I’ll tell you all about mine once I get to know you through my couple’s questionnaire! On event days, you will find me with a smile stretching ear to ear, excited and energetic, while staying calm, controlled, and grounded.

DM me, call me, or fill out the online form. I can’t wait to talk more about your wedding with you!

Highly Creative, Personalized and Delightful to work with

When we met Steph, she described how her approach is to evoke a feeling that is inspired by your home and everyday life. Since that moment, we knew that both our wedding would be special, and that the planning process would be much more enjoyable than it would otherwise be. Steph used inspiration we shared with her of our home, favorite hotels around the world and vineyards to create a one-of-a-kind experience that was special for us and our guests.

During the week before and day of the wedding, my family and friends kept asking me, as the bride, how they could help or if I was stressed. I repeatedly answered that I was not stressed because I knew Steph and her team had it covered. Even the decisions she made the day of the wedding to account for possible mud, cold and rain transformed the venue into something that had exceeded our dreams of the best case scenario. We are so incredibly grateful for Steph!

The best decision we made!

I don’t have enough words to describe how incredible it was to work with Steph to create our dream wedding. From our very first meeting, I knew she was the perfect fit to transform our half baked ideas and Instagram saves into reality. Steph is both incredibly professional, and a master at her craft.

As soon as we booked her, she kept us organized with different tools, and was so accessible and helpful for our many questions. At no point during the planning process did we feel overwhelmed, or like we didn’t know exactly what was going on. She helped us make very informed decisions, and always helped us weigh the pros and cons. We had a plan A, B, C to make sure nothing would catch us off guard!

Day of, it was confirmed, there would have been no wedding without Steph and her team. We were thrown more than a few curveballs, but the whole BTP team had our back and pulled everything off without a single issue. Steph - I hope you know how grateful we both, and our families, are for all that you’ve done. You were our superwoman, and we will always be forever grateful. Thank you ❤️

Delivered our dream wedding stress free

Steph is an amazing wedding planner who excels at both the design and the organization of executing a fantastic wedding. She curated the most beautiful wedding design for us and nailed the vibe we desired while staying within our budget. We are Canadians who had a destination wedding in South Florida and in the year of planning Steph was always extremely responsive and we always felt looked after. Our wedding plans changed a few times and Steph was always flexible and proactive with any changes. Our wedding day was perfect, and our guests all said it was one of the most if not THE most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. For us, Steph and her team completely organized the entire day and looked after everything so we could relax and enjoy every moment. We appreciated Steph going above and beyond for us multiple times, for example transporting flowers from the wedding to our lunch the next day. Steph is professional, and very personable, we enjoyed every meeting we had with her. We recommend Steph to anyone who needs help planning their dream wedding whether at home or abroad.

😍😍 Blue Thistle Productions is Spectacular 😍😍

First the TLDR: Stephanie is a joy to work with and really, really good at her job. She knows the industry incredibly well, has a network of incredible vendors, and will guide you through the process. Our wedding was perfect - it felt incredibly personal and captured who we are, and was also more gorgeous than anything we’d ever imagined. We cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough.

And for the full review:
I genuinely don’t know where to start a review of Blue Thistle Productions, because everything deserves a rave.

Our wedding was so magical that a month later we are still in disbelief. I’m in awe that Stephanie helped us craft something so stunningly gorgeous and yet so completely personal, so totally us. Friends and family told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. I’d never really believed that “best day of your life” business - but I’m having a really hard time imagining something that would top it.

Over the past year, Stephanie made the wedding planning process so much fun. We went into it a bit nervous - we could tell she had a gorgeous sense of design, but neither of us had any real vocabulary for what we wanted. She helped draw out our taste and translate it into something amazing. She has a phenomenal network of vendors she works with, and was able to seamlessly work with new vendors we knew we wanted. She thought of every detail.

Not only was the wedding gorgeous, not only is Stephanie really, really good at her job, but she is also so fun to work with. You know those people who light up a room? That’s her. She brought joy, light, and calm to the entire planning process. It was clear how much she cared about our wedding, and how invested she was in making the day perfect for us - and she did exactly that!

Simply the BEST!

There are no words to describe my gratitude and love for Stephanie and her incredible team. It has been a week from our wedding and we are still in absolute awe. From our very first interaction and throughout a year of planning, she made the entire wedding planning process so fun, memorable, and exciting. Her eye for detail, her creativity, her selflessness, her passion for what she does, and her infectious energy is unmatched. I couldn't have imagined having anyone else be such a huge part of our entire wedding weekend. Our dream became our reality and we owe it all to her. Thank you Steph for making an unforgettable experience, that can often be stressful for some, feel absolutely seamless and magical! You are simply the best!

The best event planner in miami

Planning your wedding will be filled with MANY details, changes, challenges, and beautiful moments. There is one person through this whole process that stood next to us through it all with so much grace and it was Stephanie. This woman is a powerhouse. I cannot express enough gratitude for Steph. Her heart is IN IT. I mean really in it. Her eye for detail, her thoughtfulness, and the way she walks you through YOUR vision and breathes life into what is possible is UNMATCHED. Her personality, her heart, her team. She was my DREAM planner and became someone I could absolutely trust to make great things happen. She is HONEST, REAL, KIND, and INCREDIBLY THOROUGH. She has a delightful and refreshing way of communicating. She and her beautiful team became our friends. Life is still moving fast in all directions, for everyone, as you plan this memorable day, for her as well, and yet, still, even in her most challenging moments she showed up for us. She was meticulous in carrying out our vision, and never wavered in her commitment to lead our amazing day. We planned our wedding from another state, and knew nothing about Miami, she made this process so sweet. Talking to vendors can be overwhelming and sometimes they don't have your best interest, she will detect this sticky situation and becomes the voice of reason to make it right for YOU. She has your back, YOU are her priority. That is a very rare characteristic to have. I found a picture of her watching our first dance, and she is BEAMING with smiles. It was so telling that she was experiencing our day with HER HEART. She was present for us on that day, and many days before AND after. She listens. She hears you, and she wants to make your day as perfect and memorable as it can be... you will FEEL this about her. Her team supported my very large bridal party at so many moments. They became family. We are forever thankful to her for walking her sweet path, and that we got to meet her on it and create such a gorgeous day was a true gift. THANK YOU STEPHANIE for your heart, and your true efforts and contributions to our day. She is the wedding planner you need, she is THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER IN MAIMI, and above all, she is a wonderful person. It's been an honor to work with her and her incredible team. We will never forget the love and care you put in for us.

Phenomenal! Couldn't imagine planning without her!

My fiance and I decided to throw a destination wedding for 50 people in Miami within a 6-week timeframe. We couldn't have pulled off this stunning occasion without Stephanie and her company Blue Thistle. Not only does Steph have amazing taste, talent, and superior judgment when it comes to vision, design and planning; she is also an absolutely wonderful person who I enjoyed "working with" every day. Steph, handled all of the details flawlessly, she kept me steady when I was overwhelmed and she guided us on every decision that we had to make. Steph is a true gem who I recommend without hesitation. Don't hesitate to secure her you will not go wrong.

Stephanie is just outstanding. I have no words. She is a perfectionist, and an absolute master at her craft. Stephanie at Blue Thistle Productions planned the most extravagant wedding ever. Nothing was overlooked, and if any issue arose … she was on it.
My guests could not be happier with Steph and her team. Most importantly, with her help we now have the most amazing memories. Truly a wedding for the books and it’s all due to Stephanie’s talents. Forever grateful for you!

Above + beyond

I cant imagine my wedding without Steph and her team at BPT… from the moment we got Steph on board she went above and beyond every single expectation. She organized all of our contracts, helped me redesign my wedding, custom-made our dance floor, coordinated with all of our many vendors, and made sure we ENJOYED the process and our special day. BPT is a team of people who genuinely love what they do, Steph was a pleasure to work with and get to know. I’d recommend them to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
