Blue Water Weddings

We hired Blue Water Weddings for our wedding planning and WOW, it was the best decision we could have ever made. Julia Timmins is absolutely outstanding at her job and she and her team helped us create and host the wedding of our dreams. Every step of the way, Julia has made herself available and was incredibly accommodating, truly listening to the vision I was hoping to have and helping make that happen. She kept us organized and focused through the planning, turning what I was expecting to be a stressful time to a memorable experience, sparking excitement and joy as we planned around our location and budget. She is well connected in the region, had great suggestions for vendors, and worked closely with everyone we chose. On the day of, she was the epitome of calm, collected, professional, and efficient like the conductor of an orchestra. The day of the wedding was timed and executed so perfectly, I actually got to ENJOY my own wedding, it was the best! Our family and guests even commented on how amazing and professional she was, as well as how beautifully and meticulously our wedding was planned and played out. The number one word I got described to me was "relaxed." Well, that was because Julia was right on top of everything. Our vendors even commented on how efficient and seamless the wedding was both during and after the big day. We simply can't sing her praises enough! Hiring her for our wedding planner was the single best decision we made for this wedding. Big shout out to Jacque and Dene as well, from Blue Water, who designed a number of amazing pieces for us. Jaqcue helped us set up our welcome party the night before and it was absolutely lovely. She also helped us create an incredible archway with her fantastic floral skills. Dene did all of our day-of-printing and it turned out just fabulous. Blue Water Weddings is a gem! Stop looking a call them to book.

Hiring Blue Water Weddings and our planner Becky was the best decision we made! They made our whole destination wedding weekend so easy to plan from 1,000 miles away. We loved our experience wedding planning so much we added on rehearsal / welcome party planning as well.

They know all the best tips and tricks for the keys and were so helpful & fun throughout the whole planning process!

From the very beginning, Becky was absolutely incredible, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. She was the reason our entire wedding weekend went so smoothly and allowed us to actually enjoy every moment without worrying about the details.

Becky was there for us through every step of the planning process, always answering questions, offering thoughtful recommendations, and making sure nothing was overlooked. On the wedding day, she handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly that we never had to stress. Every detail came together perfectly because of her hard work, organization, and dedication.

I genuinely cannot imagine planning our wedding—or experiencing our wedding day—without Becky and Blue Water. She went above and beyond in every way and made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting and enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about making your wedding everything you’ve dreamed of, Becky and her team are the best. We are beyond grateful and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!

Not really sure where to start. We worked with Latrice and she was amazing! She helped us transform our beach wedding into the most beautiful day. She was on time, professional, and helped provide us with direction and recommendations. Our day turned out to be perfect. 10/10 would recommend.

After reflecting on my wedding weekend, I can’t believe I’ve been working with Latrice for a year! & sadly that it all had to come to an end. Latrice knew my vision before I could even fully explain it! She was kind and flexible throughout the year and very detailed oriented. Everything went so smoothly and I can’t thank her enough for contributing to the beauty and organization of my special day/weekend. She is the real MVP! She has a long and fruitful career ahead of her, that’s for sure!

I cannot say enough great things about Blue Water weddings and Latrice! Wedding planning was a highly stressful experience for me. Latrice helped me navigate it with ease. She understood my vision for our wedding immediately. She asked the correct questions and constantly communicated to know what was most important for our big day. She offered budget friendly options and recommended the best vendors that I could have never found on my own. I had met with other planners and none of them showed the care, passion, or level of personalization Latrice did. She even added some extra touches to truly bring our reception to life. Blue water is so lucky to have someone so passionate and professional on their team. I truly miss getting to talk to Latrice all the time already! 😢 Thank you Latrice for giving Joe and I the wedding of our dreams. We both wish we could relive it and we would choose you as our planner every single time!

I'm not sure if words will do justice to what an incredible job Blue Water Weddings, and especially Becky, did for my wife and I for our wedding. But I will give it a try. From the first time we met Becky, it was clear that she had a passion for her work and an impressive attention to detail. Our wedding was in the Keys and my wife had mapped her vision in extensive detail. And Becky went above and beyond to make sure every little part of her vision was brought life. We booked her for month of services, but she was always available to help. Whether it was to discuss vendors or give ideas, it never seemed to be a bother. She maintained such a positive attitude during the months leading up to the wedding and encouraged us to bring any new ideas to her.
On the day of wedding, she was the embodiment of professionalism and calm. While at the same time, balancing so many vendors and family that were all part of the getting ready process. It was the most nerve-wracking day of my wife's life, and Becky proved to be the voice of reason and the cheerleader that she needed. When my wife got anxious, Becky always had the perfect words to say. She was also always when and where we needed her, whether it was to direct or to offer a warm smile. Throughout the ceremony and reception, she executed the plan flawlessly and ensured that everything was absolutely perfect. She even managed to gather all of our guests, fresh off of 4 hours of open bar, to do a bubble exit for amazing photo opportunities.
I would highly recommend Blue Water Weddings and Becky in particular to be your wedding planner. She is an excellent person and an expert at ensuring that your big day is a storybook wedding.

Thank you Becky Atherton at Blue Water Weddings. I could not draw up a more suited wedding planner to plan my wedding in the Florida Keys. Becky Atherton is an elite wedding planner. She is helpful, has impeccable taste and is responsive. My dream wedding was brought to life because I hired Blue Water Weddings. Unlike many Florida based wedding planners who claim to know the keys, the planners at Blue Water actually live there and have relationships with all of the vendors and venues that are located down there. I never felt forced to go in any particular direction, which was so important to me. Although I had a lot of help in developing and orchestrating my wedding, it still felt like my creation. If your dream wedding is an elegant gathering in the Florida keys, I highly recommend you hire Blue Water Weddings.

Blue water wedding planners are the absolute best! I hired them for my wedding that was originally in islamorada and then half way through had to be switched to Key largo, I also was a few months into postpartum and Latrice made my wedding planning so easy! She also always got back to me when it came down to the end! She was amazing the day of the wedding I would have been lost without her. She was so helpful even with my five month old baby ♥️ I couldn’t recommend blue water weddings more they went above and beyond for us ♥️

Grace Gustinis at Blue Water Weddings made our wedding so fun and easy to plan over the course of the year she worked with us to make our dream wedding come true. Grace was sweet, knowledgable and organized throughout the entire planning experience. On the day of our wedding Grace was a true SUPER HERO because a tropical storm hit and everything was planned to be outside. The storm was so bad even our tent couldn't keep out the rain. She quickly got us walls for the tent to allow us to still keep our ceremony outside and came up with a game plan in coordination with all the vendors to move the rest of the events inside while still giving the wedding a multi-location feel within the resort property. We could not have done our wedding without her. We HIGHLY recommend selecting Blue Water Weddings and particularly Grace Gustinis for your wedding planner. Love you Grace!
