Beyond my dreams!

Clay and his team are absolutely incredible! I’m so grateful for his guidance though all the decisions and attention to detail. The flowers and decorations where stunning. Our day was incredible and beyond our wildest dreams. We are eternally grateful for you!!!

The best of the best!

Simply the best of the best! Before you do anything else, book Clay as your coordinator. He will guide you in the right direction through every aspect of your wedding. Being from out of state and not knowing much about the area, my biggest regret in wedding planning was booking our venue and other vendors before I booked him. He is a true professional that knows everything there is to know about the wedding industry in the Florida Panhandle. From communicating with vendors, designing beautiful floral arrangements, being super responsive, bringing our visions to life, and helping with any issues we had with other vendors along the way, we could not have done it without him. Clay went above and beyond to make our day perfect, stress free, and felt like a friend by the end of our wedding. Thank you so much, Clay!

Day of Coordination and Florals

Clay and his team at Signature Events were rockstars. We hired Clay for day-of coordination, and we are so glad we did. I was able to truly relax that morning, not having to worry about running around to set anything up and decorate the spaces. Clay was also the florist, and matched my vision wonderfully (making it even better).

Clay was also so nice to work with. He was excited to plan and make the vision come to life. When I had questions, he took a lot of time to explain his process and why he made certain suggestions. We are so grateful for him because our wedding was truly perfect.

Clay is an angel

Clay was amazing to coordinate with. He kept me sane and organized and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of my wedding. He is meticulous and has great taste. He did an amazing job pulling everything together along with my florist to realize the vision that became my dream wedding. Can't say enough good things about Clay!

A vision to reality

I could rave about Signature Weddings and Events (Clay and Daniel) for days! My wedding planning experience was anything but typical. I actually found my venue, who recommended Clay, before hiring a planner. Shortly after (within the same evening), my mom was chatting with a friend from ATL, who apparently knew a really great planner in Panama City, FL… Long story short, it was Clay and we KNEW it was meant to be. Clay worked with my mom and me for months planning the best day ever, hearing out all of our grandiose ideas and having “come to Jesus” meetings to remind us of the “budget.” About 4 months before the wedding, after most of the major decisions and deposits had been made, we found out that our venue was heavily damaged by Hurricane Michael (which also devastated our town and life as we knew it)… They could not host our wedding any longer. Despite his own trauma and dealing with the aftermath of the Cat 5 hurricane, Clay spent several days, weeks and months with my mom and me in search of a new venue and planning an entirely different (but dreamy) wedding. As we got closer to wedding day and decisions became more firm, Clay and Daniel endured several spur-of-the-moment meetings, requested by ME, to listen to my indecisive banter and reassure me that everything would be AMAZING. Fast Forward to wedding day and it truly was AMAZING and MORE. Clay and Daniel designed and set-up the most beautiful floral and décor that still have my guests and myself gushing. I was able to enjoy my day, trusting that everything was well-taken care of, and it WAS. Seeing my ceremony and reception spaces for the first time, took my breath away. There aren’t enough words to express how thankful I am for Signature Weddings and Events. YOU’RE THE BEST!! Thank you for making my wedding vision/dreams a reality!!

Great experience with Signature Events

We had such a great experience with Clay and Signature Events! After hurricane Michael, he pretty much planned my entire weekend in a month. This meant coordinating with a ton of vendors and setting up everything himself since we changed the location. Clay was always quick to respond, professional, and full of excellent ideas. He was great to have at the wedding and was always bringing myself and my husband a new beverage if our hands were empty. You wont find a better coordinator who is sharp, pays attention to detail, but also a blast to be around. Highly recommend!

Amazing job!

From coordinating vendors to wrangling our high-spirited friends and family, the Signature Events team ensured everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. In addition to dealing with setup, breakdown, and logistics, Clay also took my vision for flowers and turned it all into reality. They were absolutely gorgeous! Thank you again for everything. Our day was perfect—in no small part thanks to Signature Events.

Signature Events was amazing! Clay handled the details for me - an out of town bride - with a destination wedding. His knowledge, experience and resources were invaluable. I can't say enough about Clay, really. He walked through everything with me and my husband, and helped guide us through many questions. I didn't think I would need a planner for my simple and smaller wedding, but I couldn't have done any of it without Signature Events and Clay.
