Small wedding in Key Largo

Terri is a rockstar. we met Terri through the wedding resort venue . We needed to plan this wedding from WA state which created a lot of challenges. Terri came with her problem solving hat and creativity. She made the whole process smooth and about us. We are both very opiniated individuals and had a lot of needs but nothing was too much for her. From the smallest details of the wedding day to helping us with our needs for the whole weekend, she had a solution for everything, resulting in a perfect wedding weekend. Could not have asked for more. She knows the area so well and got us the best deals without compromising quality. Very highly recommend her.

Five Stars Isn’t Enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A simple five-star rating does not begin to capture how incredible Terri and her team are. I originally thought I could manage the entire wedding planning process myself and only hire a day-of coordinator, boy, was I wrong. I ended up using Terri’s three-month planning service, and it was one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire wedding journey.

Terri and I met multiple times, and with each meeting, I could literally feel the weight of the wedding being lifted off my shoulders. Her organization, attention to detail, and calm presence allowed me to walk into my wedding day completely stress-free and truly enjoy every single moment.

On the day of the wedding, Terri worked her magic yet again. Somehow securing the chargers I so desperately wanted and completely elevating the look of the tables. It was a small detail that made a huge impact, and it perfectly sums up how she operates: thoughtful, resourceful, and always one step ahead.

I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention Terri’s husband, who was her right-hand man throughout the day. While Terri was handling one aspect of the wedding, he was seamlessly taking care of another. Together with their team, they blend in so effortlessly that you almost forget all the magic happening behind the scenes, until you stop for a moment and realize just how perfectly everything is coming together.

Terri, thank you for handling my wedding with the same level of care, intention, and detail as if it were your own. You will forever be a part of my wedding story, and I cannot thank you enough. 🤍

From our very first encounter, Terri's wonderful personality shone through. She genuinely loves her clients, and her passion for creating unforgettable moments is evident in everything she does.

She knows how to navigate the ins and outs of wedding planning and creates beautiful, personalized events that reflect each couple's unique love story.

And let’s not forget about her fantastic husband, who is an essential part of her team! Together, they make an incredible duo, working tirelessly to ensure every detail is perfect. Their teamwork and dedication are inspiring, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, look no further than Events By Terri. I adore working with her and can’t wait to see all the beautiful weddings she continues to create! I highly recommend her!!!

Exceptional

Terri was a constant calmness in a sea of our anxiety and Helped make our day something hard to explain with words. We are very grateful for her due diligence, attention to details and take charge attitude. What made it even better is that she was actually caring and wanted us to have everything perfect as if it was her own wedding. We couldn’t have pulled off a wedding in the Keys without her and we are very happy we met Terri.

An absolute life saver!

Terri was absolutely amazing to work with!
My husband and I have both agreed that our day wouldn’t have gone half as smoothly as it did without her! Infact, NOTHING went “wrong” and I believe we owe this all to her.
I was a COVID bride. She stuck with us through our first planned wedding and venue tour and when that eventually fell through she helped us through our second (and final) venue.

Our venue was difficult to work with and Terri handled everything with the highest level of professionalism and grace.
She always responded promptly to emails, texts and phone calls.
Do yourself a favor and work with her. You and your wedding guests will thank yourself.

Terri is the Type A Planner you want!

As a Type A person, working with someone who is just as dedicated to her trade is invaluable. Terri is responsive, thorough (has a whole questionnaire and asks things you don't even think about but is significant to your day), and so sweet. She joined my wedding planning team late, but the effect she had on our planning process is indescribable. Thank you!

Terri exceeded my expectations. My wedding was perfection, and I attribute it all to her professionalism, dedication, and love of her craft. She really is the BEST at what she does. There was no stone left unturned throughout the process. Her level of detail and ability to manage all vendors and event details while simultaneously calming my nerves was impressive, to say the least. Not only would I would recommend Terri, I would definitely use her for a future event. We are forever grateful for her role during the best time/day of our lives!!!
