Unbelievable Experience

I don't even know where to start. I contacted Susan a couple of weeks before our trip to Marathon and she immediately started planning our surprise 40th wedding renewal vows on Sombrero Beach.
As our special day arrived, it became clear that it was not going to be a good evening for a beach wedding renewal. Susan was able to reschedule our ceremony at the last minute to make our experience the best I could ever hope for! She coordinated rescheduling the photographer as well and completely saved the day.
The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful and I could not be happier with the entire experience from start to finish.
We would Highly recommend Susan to anyone who is considering getting married or renewing their vows while visiting the Keys.
Thank you again Susan, we loved everything!

Made our day so special!

Susan was professional, empathetic, and authentic. We loved the document she sent giving us the layout of the ceremony and wording options for each section. This was so helpful and made things stress free. Thank you Susan for being a part of our story 💕.
