About

CONGRATULATIONS! Pearls & Palms weddings is owned by me, Courtney, and I am SO excited for you! The season of engagement and wedding planning with your forever person is so special, and I'm honored that you're here to consider letting me play a part in it all.

We are based in the Tampa Bay area, and we serve local clients as well as those who are traveling to follow their love story! My team offers full & partial planning, coordination, and destination wedding services. Your special day being as stress-free as possible is my top priority as a wedding planner. I love solving problems behind the scenes, and I pride myself making things perfect with the quick fixes that you'll never know about - I take care of it all for my clients so they can enjoy every moment!

If you decide that we're a good fit, we're going to become best friends! We can grab coffee together and chat through the little details that are making you nervous. When your mom can't seem to decide on a dress, I'll field the texts. Your anxious best man can jump on a video call and rehearse with me to nail his speech. I will ABSOLUTELY cry after sending one soon-to-be spouse down the aisle to meet the other. I'm a pro dress bustler and boutonnière pinner, I'll be buddies with all of your vendors to get the timing just right, and most times, I'll be the last one waving goodbye as you head out for the night.

To those still reading, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! I hope can meet and work together to create the wedding of your dreams!

Courtney is amazing!

We hired Courtney last minute due to covid wedding changes. She was super accommodating and flexible throughout the entire process. Her and her husband went above and beyond what we expected of them on our wedding day, and it would not have run so smoothly without them!

Above & Beyond!

Courtney, Emilie and Kristen make an absolutely incredible team!  They are so kind and professional.  I was overwhelmed and anxious about the planning and logistics of my wedding day.  They went above and beyond with timeline planning, design execution and attention to detail.  I am not sure what we would have done without their expert guidance and coordination!  From assisting with our rehearsal, to the wedding day ceremony and reception, their hard work made sure that everything went smoothly, looked beautifully, and was completely painless for me, my groom and the bridal party.  I can't say enough positive things about this impressive and excellent planning team!

Less stressful having the help from these ladies.

These ladies did a beautiful job with both of my daughters wedding showers and weddings. Also did an amazing job with two baby showers!

Great team!

The Plan + Simple team is great to work with! They are flexible, listen to what their clients want, and have a vision of what the client wants before the client knows! Would highly recommend Plan + Simple and I would hire them for my future events!

Amazing Attention to Detail

I attended a bridal shower arranged by Courtney and it was impeccably planned. The theme was lemonade and it carried cohesively throughout the room. She even went so far as to include sliced lemons in the center pieces holding the gerber daisies. There were activities for young and old, and everything moved smoothly throughout the experience (even though there were about 100 women at this shower). Her sense of timing for when to move to the next activity ensured that there was never a dull moment. Every guest left the event feeling like they had been a part of something, and I will definitely remember that event for a long time.

It was a very easy process and thing ran smoothly

I have been to a few occasions where Plan and Simple has coordinated the event. I must say how beautifully decorated the facilities were, the creativity, the uniqueness of the themes and how organized and professional these girls were. I would highly recommend them for someone to use on a special occasion as I have seen them in action and it was a very stress free and fun environment. I give these girls props and I would gladly give them my recommendation.

Awesome experience!

I can't say enough great things about Courtney and her planning and execution of my daughter's bridal shower. Having bridesmaids that didn't know each other on top of having them live in different areas of the state is not a stress anyone would want.

She pulled everything together by helping the bridesmaids make my daughters day so special. Being able to understand their vision and then bringing into reality with her attention to detail was magnificent.

She thought of everyone's needs (from special diet menu items, coloring pages for children, to seating arrangements for the elderly). Courtney made everyone feel welcomed and thought through some fun activities to help bring a roomful of people together who didn't necessarily know each other.

She was able to coordinate all the logistics of people coming in from out of town to making sure that we stayed within our allotted room rental time.

The table arrangements and special touches that were woven in throughout the day made my daughters day perfect. Thank you Courtney!
