About

This business is owned and operated by Jillian Bartosiak, who obtained 18 years of experience in the industry before launching her own company. This planner helps newlyweds-to-be all across Central Florida and the West Coast plan the day of their dreams.

Services Offered

Perfecting the Plan Weddings and Events specializes in month-of coordination packages for engaged couples, ideal for those who have already started planning. This allows them to relax and enjoy the excitement in lead-up to the day while Jillian takes care of the final details. Services such as vendor referrals and creating timelines are also available. Couples who choose to work with Jillian can expect a stress-free experience and a wedding day spent celebrating with their loved ones.

Additional Services

Jillian is also the co-founder of MiniMony Weddings! MiniMony is leading this movement by introducing an innovative approach to wedding planning and wedding experiences.

Our 90-Minute micro-weddings allow couples to spend less time and money on their big day while not skimping on any of the details. Included with each package is an officiant, beautiful florals and fabulous décor, small-bites, cake and champagne, as well as timeless photos and a full ceremony video. We've designed each unique day with one goal in mind: Provide our couples with a complete wedding-day-experience that focuses on their love and relishing in their I Do moment.

We are a women-owned and operated team here to take care of every detail, and alleviate the decision-fatigue that is plaguing couples today. Say good-bye to overwhelming to-do lists, months of interviewing vendors, and sinking yourself into debt.

Instead, gather 25 of your closest family and friends for an intimate wedding celebration at one of Tampa Bay's swoon-worthy venues. We will ensure every detail is beautifully designed so that you'll feel like you've stepped out of your favorite Pinterest page!

Your wedding should be filled with things you want, not the things you feel obligated to do! So just pick the day and time that works best for you, show up, and experience the best day in the most convenient way.

Absolutely incredible

Cara is the highest standard of organization, time management, and attention to detail. You absolutely cannot go wrong when you hire her for your wedding. Cara had things done and checked off lists before I even remembered to ask about them. Not only that, but she is a wealth of knowledge for the things I had no idea about (ex. How do you cut a wedding cake without ruining it? Cara knows!) she was with us every step of the way. I am confident that without her, my wedding would not have happened. Everyone says weddings are hard to plan, but if you hire Cara, it’s easy!

Simply Perfect

Perfecting the Plan is the only reason my wedding happened. I originally had my wedding on an island off the coast of florida but then hurricane Ian hit and I ended up having to move it 3.5 months before the wedding happened. We originally hired them for the month of but when all this happened, we asked them to start right away. We immediately had meetings to discuss everything we needed and all of our options. Everything was thought of. The day of the wedding I literally had no worries because they were on top of everything. Do yourself a favor and hire them because they are truly an amazing team. I could not say better things about my whole experience.

Made our day perfect!



Jillian made our day perfect! She was professional to work with and I could not imagine her not being a part our day! She made sure she knew what we needed and wanted up front and followed through with the most stress free wedding experience! She was available for questions and concerns and her communication was always professional and prompt!

Your Wedding Fairy God Mother

Jillian and the Perfecting the Plan team went above and beyond to make our day spectacular. From coordinating vendors, helping pick colors and flowers, to literally carrying my train up and through the hotel - she does it all.

I cannot say enough lovely things about our wedding day, it even required to be relocated inside from the rain (thank you rooftops in Florida!) and Jillian's team handled it all smoothly and made for a perfect transition. The location, the flowers - heck she even took us ring shopping and helped my husband pick out one that was perfect for him.

If you're on the fence about a planner, all I can say is save your sanity and hire Perfecting the Plan. I will definitely be hiring them for every occasion - from our wedding to our daughter's first birthday and really any other event where I just want everything to be perfect! Thank you so much Jillian!

I am mother of the bride

I must say I was hesitant to hire a wedding coordinator because I thought this would be simple. I never knew how many questions and how much planning really goes into a wedding. I am so happy that Jillian guided me effortlessly through the process. Her knowledge in this field is worth every penny and some! My daughter's wedding was perfect in every way!
