I’ve had the pleasure of interning with Parties A La Carte in the Tampa/St. Pete area for the past month, and I can confidently say this team is exceptional! From day one, I’ve been impressed by their professionalism, creativity, and dedication to making every event truly unforgettable.
The staff is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure clients’ visions become a reality. I’ve learned so much about event planning, coordination, and client service in just a few weeks, and it’s clear that Parties A La Carte prioritizes both employee growth and customer satisfaction.
Whether you’re planning a birthday, wedding, or corporate event, I would wholeheartedly recommend Parties A La Carte. Their attention to detail, creativity, and friendly service make every celebration seamless and stress-free. I’m excited to continue growing with this amazing team!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Jessica, Cara, and the entire Parties A La Carte team—they made all the difference for every aspect of our wedding!

From the very beginning, I loved working with them. Both leading up to the big day and on the day itself, they were there for us every step of the way. Honestly, we could not have done it all without them.

One thing that really stood out was how they made what can be an overwhelming process feel totally doable. Their monthly to-do emails were a lifesaver and kept us organized (and sane!). I always felt like we were in great hands.

Their vendor recommendations were spot-on, too. You could tell they have amazing relationships in the industry, and every person they suggested was truly best in class.

When it came to design, Jessica and Cara absolutely nailed my vision. They brought so many creative ideas to the table—from the flowers to the dance floor—and executed everything beautifully.

On the wedding day, they handled absolutely everything behind the scenes so we could just focus on enjoying every moment and making lifelong memories. It was such a relief to know they had it all under control.

They also went above and beyond when our original venue canceled on us last minute due to Hurricane Helene and Milton. They quickly adapted, found a new venue, and rescheduled everything for us. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without them!

I highly, highly recommend Cara, Jessica, and the Parties A La Carte team. They are the best of the best!

We cannot thank Jess & Cara enough for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams. From the initial conversation, Jess & Cara did a great job of listening to what we wanted, while also being realistic as it pertains to budget. The great thing about Jess, is that she had a way of connecting with my wife, and had a desire to bring her visions to life. Jess understood that we would easily sacrifice in certain areas, so that we could have all our true wants/wishes-while staying within the agreed upon budget. Parties A'La Carte made us feel like a team.

With so many conversations & difficult decisions to be made, we never felt overwhelmed by Jess & Cara. We were always given appropriate time and space to make our own decisions.

As the groom, I loved working with Cara. She is the most organized, friendly, and transparent person to work with. She kept me up to date with the budget and line items regularly. Cara is the backbone of the company and does a phenomenal job.

On the day of the wedding, Jess & Cara were absolutely amazing. From making sure we had water in the hotel room, to a drink in our hands on the dance floor. They never stopped looking out for what we needed. I can't thank Jess & Cara enough.

All the vendors they recommend/work with were also wonderful!!

Would highly recommend this company to anyone planning their wedding - by the end of it they feel like your best friends!

Thank you again!
Love,
Eric and Ella

Parties A' La Carte made wedding planning an amazing experience. Not only did they bring my vision to life, they were there to every step of the way from ideation, budgeting, vendor communication, day-of assistance and so much more. I did not have to worry about the planning timeline (what I should be booking when) and I always knew that they had my back and would help me through all the important decision making. The entire experience was a dream come true and the Parties A' La Carte team was so fun to work with. I would recommend to anyone looking for a planning team!

My wife and I recently got married in April at The Vinoy in St. Petersburg. As a wedding gift, my mother hired Jessica & her team at Parties A' La Carte. My wife and I are not huge planners so having a wedding planner was the best gift we could receive. I cannot speak more highly of Jessica, Macie, and the entire team they have. We worked with them for almost a year and everything was first class, every phone call and email was answered promptly, every dream and request we had was perfectly executed within the budget we agreed to. Jessica is not a wedding planner who you talk to once and never speak to again, she is the most hands on owner I've ever seen in any business. It's hard to put into words about my experience with Parties A' La Carte, but I think it is best summarized by their team felt like part of our family by the end of our wedding.

We had the ultimate pleasure of working with Parties A La Carte for a wedding in Clearwater, FL. They were extremely professional, had great customer service and they made the experience truly special for the bride and groom as well as all the venders.

I can't wait to work with them again and I recommend them to anyone who needs an event planner.

Jessica and Cara created the wedding of my absolute dreams! I gave them very little to go off of as I hadn't really imagined what my wedding would look like, and they created something I didn't even know was my dream. I had dozens of guests come up to me and say it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to, and that is all thanks to the PALC team! They guided me through every single step of the process and handled all communications with vendors and scheduling appointments. The care and attention to detail that they gave to every single aspect (no matter how big or small) was something I truly could not have put a price on. I had no idea what I was doing at the start, but I didn't need to. They took my color palette and stylistic preferences and gave me options for every single thing and created an absolutely stunning event. They also planned my welcome party for the night before, and the same goes for that event. The flowers, the details, the entire vision was unreal and I couldn't have made it better if I had dreamed it up! Thank you Jessica and Cara!!!! I love you both!!

Parties A La Carte is AMAZING, and our wedding was MAGICAL. From our very first call, I knew Jessica was the ideal person to help plan my wedding. My mom and I were so impressed with her professionalism and knowledge. We had a tight turnaround (about two and a half months to plan!), and Jessica and Cara took it as a fun challenge and exceeded all expectations. They managed every single detail while being so receptive to feedback and ideas. They took every vision and inspiration I had and turned it into something more than I could have imagined. Jessica and Cara were always available and quickly responsive, and it was obvious they truly cared about my husband and myself, our families, and making the day a roaring success.

Having the team there the day of was also huge. We always knew where to go and what to do. Jessica even made sure we had time to eat! Hiring Parties A La Carte was the absolute best decision we could have made for our wedding, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks, ladies, for an absolutely perfect wedding and planning experience!
