Perfect Ceremony!

Our ceremony went perfectly thanks to Sand Petal! Nikki was great and made sure everything went smoothly. The setup was beautiful and exactly as planned. We are still getting compliments on the wedding! Nikki worked with us and customized our package so we got everything we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how it went and highly recommend Sand Petal to anyone planning a beach wedding!

Sand petal weddings is the best!

I cannot say enough good about sand petal weddings! Nikki and her team were so amazing to deal with. Nikki and I had been planning for about a year and couldn’t have been more helpful! She provided so many resources and extras!
Our wedding day was so organized, set beautifully and everyone communicated so well. I didn’t have a single stress in the world and for that I am the most Grateful. I wish I could relive our big day 100x over thanks to this amazing company 💜

Horrible Experience

WARNING….DO NOT BOOK!!!! This company is all about money. Long story as short as possible, I booked with this company (living out of state) because I read the reviews on the website and spoke to an agent, and thought I was getting a great deal along with great service. Prior to booking, my rep was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. However, when you book with this company, the hotel recommendations are not as advertised. I made the initial deposit only to find out that some of the hotels they “partner” with don’t even offer to hold weddings any longer. Some require to be booked for 2 weeks or require the entire location to be rented (mind you, I only have 25 guests) and one location, I couldn’t reach because the phone number was out of service. My plan was to use one of these locations to make the process as easy as possible. I expected this to be a fun and exciting time and this company has ruined this for me. Now I have to call multiple locations in FL (where do I even begin) and find out all of the necessary information. I paid $3,900 for the deposit and the company is refusing to refund any money even though no work was done. (They don’t start planning until about 60 days out from your wedding.) I don’t expect all of the funds back but due to the false advertising, it would be nice if we could meet somewhere in the middle. Also, the rep mentioned that I booked during one of the busiest months so they shouldn’t have a hard time rebooking my wedding date but they still are refusing to fix the problem. I now have to go through court proceedings while trying to plan my wedding. Please don’t make the mistake that I did.

I have worked with Sand Petals Weddings for some time now performing close to one hundred wedding ceremonies. for them. Out of all the wedding planners that I have worked with over my twenty eight year career they are by far the most professional and detail oriented planners I have ever worked with. You will not be disappointed should you use them to plan and coordinate your special day, making it a memory that will last for as lifetime!!
