Wedding Planners in Florida

We have used Cotton Events for several parties (birthday, graduation and baby shower) and we have had wonderful service each and every time. Savannah does amazing balloon arches and has a great eye for every little detail. I definitely recommend using them for all your party needs!

Pros: Great quality Floridian food, your guests will be happy! Cons: We did notice a couple of things were not the same of when we tasted them. The shrimp and grits were plated differently and had a different taste. At the tasting they were the best grits I ever had and at the wedding it was a let down. How they set up the stations confused guests. They should have made several lines and it turned into one massive line. I wish they would have made the distinctions clearer.

Joni was my wedding planner for my 4/21/23 wedding and I only have good things to report. She is hands down one of the best. You can tell she cares about her brides and wants them happy. Joni is well-connected in the area and her reputation precedes her. She is kind, patient, and knows the business (venues, vendors, etc) inside and out. I was blown away by how beautiful my wedding turned out. She's got a fantastic team of planners and vendors and is super professional. Leading up to the day, she was always responsive and kind. Her assistant, Sonia, was extremely organized and prepared on our calls. Answered my many questions and followed-up with vendors as needed. She was fantastic on my actual wedding day- she ensured everything was taken care of, and her assistant for the day, Laura, was also wonderful (and very kind/patient). If there were any issues, I did not know about them or they were already handled. For your wedding (especially a semi-destination like mine), you want to have someone you trust who has the experience and professionalism, and Joni is your person. I still receive compliments to this day about how amazing the wedding was and how beautiful it was. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you to Joni and her team! Highly recommend.

After finding out my fiancé and I were pregnant and expecting a baby girl, we threw out our grand plans of a wedding in Spain and opted for an intimate wedding to celebrate our baby girl and to have us get married in under a month to ensure I would still have enough time to find a wedding dress that that made me look beautiful and feel like a bride. My friend had recommended Events on a Budget as well as Allison, one of the wedding coordinators there. We had one meeting and I realized not only could they squeeze in this wedding and make it beautiful, they did it all in one big quote. The quote included all rentals, catering, bar tender, photographer, flowers, even extra vendors if needed. The prices were out of this world, they truly worked with our budget and our taste, They made a beautiful small wedding of 40 people look incredible and all I had to do was sign the contact and pay my invoices. Knowing it took all of the stress off my shoulders with planning and coordinating during this pregnancy was a dream come true. I wouldn't change a thing about our Wedding day. Special shout out to Allison who was so responsive, understanding, and always thinking ahead of what I could possibly need. She truly was the final puzzle piece that made the entire event as smooth as possible. We highly recommend!

Absolutely loved working with Tammy and the team. Everyone was so amazing. Tammy was so responsive and gave amazing personalized recommendations. I was not worried about anything and everything ran so smoothly on the big day. Would work with her again. 10/10!

I can not say enough great things about Megan at The Wedding Authority. We were lucky enough to get her as the day of coordinator for my mom's later in life wedding. Megan is a ROCKSTAR! She was so on top of things and listened to all of my mom's ideas. Her knowledge and assistance with vendors that were in my moms budget...truly incredible, and we found our vendors because of Megan! She created an amazing timeline, She was so communicative, and kept things moving along. Did I mention how sweet she is? The nicest, kindest, and so caring. She did everything she could to make sure my mom's day was perfect. I was sad to say goodbye to her after months of communication! If you need an amazing coordinator, look no further than The Wedding Authority!

We were referred to Jackie by our venue (the Vinoy) for a 300 person three-day Indian wedding. Right away, we were so impressed by Jackie's easy communication style, knowledge/industry contacts and her calm but confident "you can do this!" attitude. Throughout the process, Jackie made herself available at all hours (we live on the west coast so we’re on different time zones) and helped us to navigate decisions with many involved family members. She was always up to help us with special requests (i.e., where can we find a pedicab for the groom to enter on) and gave us her honest/blunt take when we needed to hear it. It was clear from our other vendors that Jackie is a force to be reckoned with in the Tampa Bay wedding industry and will always go to bat for her clients. She helped keep me, my fiancé and my mom calm throughout and was a critical part of our wedding planning team. Our big fat Indian wedding went off without a hitch and we have Jackie to thank for it. We love you, Jackie and thank you for everything!!

Stacy, Sydney and the team did a wonderful job with my day of coordination. I had a destination wedding and trusted them to set me up with good vendors for the services I needed. Although I am waiting on photos, the photographer(Stacy) was very pleasant. I love my bouquet and the DJ kept the party going. I had a plan that was not typical for most weddings and it required us to have a lot of contact. The response time speeds up closer to your date if you email, but calling gets a quick response always. When there was a major hiccup with things, the ladies sprung into action to ensure my day still went as closely to the plan as possible and relieved some of my stress. Everything turned out wonderful and I didn't have to worry about a thing the entire ceremony or reception.

We had the privilege of having Heather be our wedding planner for our recent wedding at TPC Sawgrass. Heather and her team did an outstanding job of taking care of absolutely every detail that went into creating a perfect night for us. From the in-person meetings, phone calls, text messages, to always being able to provide clarity and answers, Heather was as steady as they come. For us, Heather’s expertise with TPC Sawgrass and familiarity with our other vendors brought us even more peace and trust in her leading up to the wedding. She’s a highly touted professional in her industry and we would absolutely choose Heather if we had to do it all over again. If you have the opportunity to have Heather join your special day, please do it. She added tremendous value and was everything and more that we needed and thought she would be for us.
