Alexandra F. Sent on 02/25/2024Amazing Planning Partners
Alex, Peggy, and the entire DWS team are the BEST! They truly were lifesavers throughout the planning process. As a Type A bride who didn’t want to relinquish all planning control, we selected the Lady In Waiting package and it was perfect. Alex and Peggy were advisors throughout the entire process; providing recommendations and assistance.
Their style was perfect for my needs and Alex was an absolute GEM during our wedding weekend. Her calming demeanor helped ease my stresses as a bride and brought our wedding together perfectly.
Alex and Peggy’s unique areas of expertise made them an excellent planning team. Their relationships and experience with vendors and venues in the FL Keys really helped as I planned my wedding from NY. They were also extremely helpful in taking unbiased stances as I evaluated vendors and not once did I feel like I was steered in the wrong direction.
We cannot recommend the DWS team enough as planners for your FL Keys wedding. -

I can't say enough about how amazing Peggy and her team were. She is absolutely, unbelievably fun to work with, knows what she is talking about, and truly made our vision come to life. If you are having a wedding in her area, I don't see how you could use anyone else!!! -

Peggy is the best!!
Peggy was my fairy godmother leading up to and on my wedding day. Our wedding was canceled due to Hurricane Ian so we decided to plan a last minute wedding in the keys. I sent Peggy an email late at night telling her we have a venue and a date with less than two months to plan a whole new wedding and needed help. She called me 10 minutes later and put all my worries at ease. She found us vendors, called me at a minimum once a week to check in, and had the whole day coordinated perfectly. I truly cannot say enough good things about Peggy and her husband. If you are getting married in the keys you need Peggy!!! -

The absolute best team!
Peggy and the team at DWS made every single one of our dreams come true. I truly never felt stressed planning our wedding, as Peggy knew exactly what our vision was and ensured every vendor could make it happen. Walking into both our ceremony and reception spaces we were at a total loss for words. The way Peggy was able to pull everything together was outstanding, and her kindness and compassion made the day even better. She’s an outstanding coordinator, and an even better person. You will not be disappointed if you choose DWS. -

Peggy is the best!
I can’t say enough great things about working with Peggy! I was worried about planning a wedding with a full time job that keeps me busy all the time so I decided I would go with the lady in waiting service! If you want a completely stress free process, Peggy is your lady! She was there for us through the whole process and pushing back our wedding for COVID. She had recommendations every step of the way and even was able to reign in our groomsmen who are so much fun but can be a handful 😜. She even helped throw my garter on a few minutes before the toss! We had forgot it in the room with all the craziness of the day and she didn’t even blink! My sister has already told me that she’s going to need Peggy for her wedding 🤣 Thank you so much Peggy! You made our wedding a day we will always remember. The day went absolutely perfectly thanks to you! -

My husband and I got married on 4/24/21 at Isla Bella Beach Resort, and one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding was hiring Destination Wedding Studio. We would choose them a thousand times over again. They helped plan and execute the most perfect wedding day we could ever dream of! We 100% recommend their planning services to absolutely everyone getting married. Even before hiring them when we had our initial call with Peggy, we had been feeling completely overwhelmed with our timeline of less than 3 months, and Peggy reassured us and helped us with all of our questions and offered suggestions based on her extensive knowledge and experience in the business. The minute we hired them, Peggy and Alex immediately started helping us get organized with our vendors, timeline, and everything we needed to do. Hands down THE BEST in the business.
We worked with Alex for our wedding day and she was a complete rockstar! Super communicative, helpful with all of our questions, concerns, and offered honest real advice. She made us feel comfortable and less stressed immediately from the beginning. She was super fun to work with throughout all of our weekly calls and emails leading up to our big day. Day-of, Alex was nothing short of amazing! Always checking in on us throughout the night, made sure we had a drink in our hands, and walked us through the entire wedding timeline. She made sure everything was executed perfectly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! It was an absolute dream, thanks to the DWS team. I cannot say enough about how amazing they are. Truly so beyond grateful for them and couldn’t be happier! -

I do not know if there is enough I could say to thank Peggy for how much she did for our wedding day. I had to worry about nothing. She had every vendor organized, the decor was spot on exactly what I wanted without me even being able to attic it, and she was so sweet. She never put a cap on how many times we could chat, and she never got annoyed with my random email questions when I had silly thoughts in the middle of the night. Peggy is a godsend. I would not have been able to pull of the wedding without her. I will be forever grateful. -

Absolutely Perfect!
Peggy was an absolute dream to work with! We ended up having to postpone our wedding twice last year due to the pandemic and Peggy and Team was a pleasure to work with through it all to keeping us sane and finally give us our perfect day! Everything was absolutely beautiful like it was out of a magazine! She had the best suggestions and made me feel so comfortable planning our destination wedding from NJ. We couldn't have picked a better team! -

Our wedding at Audubon House and Tropical Gardens in Key West was perfect!! It met all our expectations and more, thanks to Peggy Russell, of Destination Wedding Studio. Peggy was absolutely wonderful to work with, professional, and extremely organized. She was great leading up to our special day and everything ran like clockwork! We couldn't have been happier with the way the evening went and the vendors she had suggested. Since our wedding was scheduled during the pandemic, we were stressed over what to do but she was cool as a cucumber and seemed to take it all in stride, even reassuring us that we could reschedule if we wanted and she would work with our venue and vendors to coordinate a new date. We ended up going through with our original date, which required a different layout because there were fewer people than originally planned. Peggy did a great job as though she had done it thousands of times before. I highly recommend Peggy if you are getting married in the Keys or surrounding area- she knows everyone and everything! Peggy had it all under control. She was absolutely amazing! -

Cassie Y. Sent on 10/15/2020Great Experience with Peggy!
Peggy was by my side through everything! I had already booked my vendors for the wedding before I met Peggy, but it was so great to find out Peggy had personally worked with everyone of them and they all seemed like a close knit Keys family. She was great leading up to the big day with running through all the details starting months in advance to make sure I had everything set up. When the big day was finally here, everything ran like clockwork! I couldn't have been happier with the way the evening moved. I would highly recommend Peggy if you are getting married in the Keys - she knows everyone and everything! Thanks again Peggy!Destination Wedding Studio's reply:
Cassie,
Thank you so much for the sweet review! It was such an honor being a part of your wedding day. Wishing you both a lifetime and love and joy! Big big squeeze from the Keys! Peggy and Team -

When my niece got married a couple of years ago, Peggy was a life saver. I won’t go into details, but there was a hurricane that year and we didn’t know if we would be able to get into Key West, but Peggy had it all under control. So When my daughter got engaged, Peggy was the first contact I made and that was the best thing I could have done. She is amazing! She guided us every step of the way. She really listens to your dream and makes it happen. Any time my daughter or I would feel stressed, Peggy, with all her experience and love for what she does, always knew exactly what to say or do to calm us down. The day of the wedding, when we finally saw the finished product, we were amazed at how absolutely perfectly she made my daughter and son in law’s vision come to life. It was everything they had imagined and more!! She is truly the best!!! Trust me, I could never have done this without her. -

I am so thankful to have hired and found Destination Wedding Studio, we were planning a destination wedding at Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key, FL which made it difficult to know what vendors were the best in the keys. Peggy gave us recommendations of who she would recommend in all wedding areas which all turned out to be AMAZING! She was so attentive and made our day go by so perfectly. Chuck her husband was our officiant and he did an amazing job, we had a beautiful ceremony. Peggy had everything together the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. If your looking to book a planner don’t hesitate to book with Destination Wedding Studio!! 💍 -

Peggy is amazing! She is the one you want by your side, (aside from your spouse) on your wedding day! Not only did everything she touched look stunning at my wedding; Peggy took care of me! Her calm reassurance when I was stressed, helped me deal with the crazy moments leading up to my wedding! Peggy has so many years of experience, knows all the local vendors and resources, and she is a blast to work with! Peggy isn’t just a wedding coordinator, she is a friend and a bonus Mom all rolled into one! Thank you Peggy for making all my wedding dreams to come true!! -

Amazing experience
Peggy, Chuck and Alex at the Destination Wedding studio were more than just a day of wedding planners. They helped us from day one and were always available via phone which was very important to us since this was a destination wedding. We are so grateful to have had them be part of our special day. The team made our wedding flawless and smooth! We loved everything about it and we would highly recommend the Destination Wedding Studio team to everyone! Big thanks!! Love, B&K -

Peggy, Alex and Chuck are the dream team. I live in Michigan and planned my entire wedding with them without ever have stepping foot on Key West before. They are true professionals with incredible attention to detail and design. Our wedding was a mixed culture wedding and they handled each unique request we asked of them with pleasure. My wedding day was a fairytale. Thanks to these incredible people and the florist team at Duarte Floral Design. Plus - they felt like family by the end of it all! Highly recommended! -

Peggy Russell was my day of wedding planner at Hawks Cay. But she went above and beyond. She ended up being my florist and designed my table scape. I had a florist but last minute had to cut my budget and Peggy stepped in and did it better than I could have imagined. The flowers were exquisite. She also was the officiant for the ceremony and everything she said was perfect for our relationship and the type of ceremony we had envisioned. Destination weddings is a great choice for a wedding planner. -
