Elizabeth C. Sent on 04/04/2024Save yourself the money & stress, ELOPE WITH ETB!!!
My husband & I eloped last October at the GORGEOUS Isla Del Sol. We had the best experience with Elope Tampa Bay, and all of the vendors they chose for us. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!
We had discussed so many different options for our wedding... but at the end of the day, all we really wanted was a short & sweet celebration with our immediate family — and some pretty pictures. We didn't want to spend tons of money on a big wedding, and I didn't want the stress of planning, so we decided this was the best option. I will admit I am naturally a bit of a control freak, so it felt a little risky to go this route— but they came through & made our day pretty damn close to perfect!
The only piece of advice I have is to communicate any preferences VERY early on. For example, I should've communicated my photography preferences earlier in the process (All of their photographers do good work, however, I'm a little picky with editing style preferences). That being said, I lucked out with an amazing photographer, so it all turned out perfect!
Bonnie did an amazing job with our ceremony, our cake was delicious, the flowers were gorgeous, Mariah Lacy Photo took beautiful photos, and Catie was there every step of the way helping us coordinate. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're considering eloping with Elope Tampa Bay, JUST DO IT!!! -

Absolutely incredible company to work with!
The entire process with Elope Tampa Bay was stress-free and easy, even when Mother Nature decided to tear down our original wedding ceremony space on the pier, ETB was able to reassess and refocus our dream setting somewhere else on the property while still including the gorgeous backdrop and making it special for us!
Wedding day execution was seamless! We did encounter small hiccups, but Michaela and Catie were quick to fix them and make it right by reassuring us that they had everything under total control.
Melissa Dozier with Madimagesinc was amazing! ETB set her up with us for the wedding day and she made my husband and I feel comfortable at first conversation while also being extremely helpful in organizing our family photos. She made us so happy, we both felt like we were laughing the entire time it didn’t even feel like we were being photographed (go figure!). My husband is very shy when it comes to being photographed and we are so grateful to have been paired with her through ETB.
We were in love with our flowers!!! I specifically asked for purples, succulents and some cascading flowers and ETB went above and beyond my expectations! If we would have gone to a florist ourselves, we would’ve never been able to get such a beautiful flower bouquet for myself and boutonnière for my husband that truly reflected us.
Just a little side note :
When Trevor and I first got engaged, we were just so overwhelmed with planning we just didn’t know where to start with everything. Once we stumbled across ETB in December, we just knew this was where we were meant to be for our celebration of marriage. We’ve truly never felt so understood, nonjudgmental and encouraged by a company for what small, intimate moments we wanted to have at our wedding and captured. We’re really so grateful to have had Michaela, Catie and everyone at ETB facilitate that for us.Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Megan!!!! Thank you so much for the kind words it truly means so much. I know it wasn't always a seamless process with the pier damage and a hurricane coming to town, but I appreciate you trusting us with your day to execute your vision and to bring you the amazing vendor team we worked with for your day. I'm so happy you had such a beautiful day and will have positive memories to last a lifetime! Days like yours are why we love what we do!
Wishing you and Trevor all the love and happiness in the world!

Above and beyond
Big Rave to Catie and the whole team. My husband and I got married at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater we wanted to be close to the beach so wanted something elegant with a beautiful sunset ceremony and Catie and the team made sure that's exactly what we got. The communication between them was more than great they responded fast answered every questions we had. Let me not forget to mention that they was able to get us married in less then 2weeks . And the day of the wedding they walk you through everything and make you feel so comfortable.If I was to do it all over again with my husband I would not change anything . Our photographer was Cara DeHart she was amazing and capture every beautiful moment our Videographer he did such an amazing work video came out beautiful. Flowers decor was just so beautiful and the cake was delicious. Thank you all for making it perfect and so memorable. 🩷💝Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
JACKIE!!!!!! Thank you so much for the kind words-it truly means so much to me and the team. I had such a blast with you and Andre getting everything set and ready in that short time span and yall were equally amazing with your communication and flexibility. It was truly such a fun and memorable day and I'm so glad your kids were able to have a special part in it as well. Wishing you both all the best!!

Alyssa B. Sent on 09/13/2023Best Decision we could have made
I could not have asked for a better to help plan our wedding day. The communication was flawless and they really made myself and my husband not only feel that we were in the best hands but also very special. There were hiccups with the venue and they handled it INCREDIBLY. Although planning a wedding is stressful, we knew that once the Elope Tampa Bay team had in in their hands, it would be taken care of perfectly. The wedding day itself couldn't have been any smoother- choosing them was truly was the best decision we could have made for our special day. Eternally grateful for this team and have already recommended them to friends with upcoming weddings.Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Aw Alyssa thank you so much for these kind words and for trusting us with your special day. Hearing this makes my heart so happy and working with the two of you throughout the process was equally special to me. Yall were so kind and understanding with the few bumps we encountered and I will never forget the grace you showed us while we navigated the options. It was so nice meeting yall and your families and I wish you both nothing but happiness and love in your future!!

Creating a 5-Star Wedding!
Five stars! Elope Tampa Bay is the way to go, ladies! My husband and I could not decide how best to approach our wedding. We wanted a day that was relaxed instead of hectic but yet elegant without breaking the bank. And then I found Elope Tampa Bay! Elope Tampa Bay made our dream wedding a reality. I reached out explaining in a few sentences what we envisioned. Elope Tampa Bay returned my message the same day, explaining how their services work, providing pricing and options. I was so thrilled to learn that we could create a wedding personal to us on the beach. Throughout the planning process, Elope Tampa Bay was a dream to work with. They promptly returned my messages and made planning totally stress-free and fun. We picked our cake, our flowers, music with a first dance, and vows personal to us. On the big day, everything was perfect. Catie was organized and excited, and allowed us to simply enjoy the day, living in each wonderful moment. My flowers were exactly what I envisioned, cake was delicious, and our photos are absolutely gorgeous! Don’t stress about your big day—let Elope Tampa Bay handle everything. You will be so happy you did.Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Awww Wini thank you so much for the kind words. It totally made my morning coming in to the office and seeing this! It was such a pleasure and an honor to be a part of your big day. Brides like you are why I love my job you make it so easy! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter and love.

Cortnee T. Sent on 11/30/2022Highly recommend!! Perfect day!!
My husband and I had the best experience with Elope Tampa Bay! We were randomly searching for destination wedding ideas and locations in Florida and ended up booking with Elope Tampa Bay due to the variety of venue options offered and the stress-free process of it all when signing up for the package options! The only real planning we had to do was picking the date, travel plans, wedding dress/suit & the dinner reception! Their communication was the best and they would reach out with different questionnaires to get an idea for what we liked for each part of the planning for our big day (cakes, flowers, day of details, etc.)! Thank you so so much Elope Tampa Bay! We communicated mainly with Catie who was awesome and very responsive even the day of which eased our anxiety since all of the planning was basically a big surprise for the day of (thank you Catie)! Everything fell into place perfectly and we could not have asked for a more perfect day—felt like a dream! Highly recommend Elope Tampa Bay if you want a more affordable, intimate ceremony!! Thank you again!!!!

Grateful for elope tampa bay
We are so glad we found Elope Tampa Bay, and were able to work with them for our wedding. We planned two different weddings prior to deciding to elope, but due to pandemic, decided this would be the best option for us. Everyone at Elope Tampa Bay were very professional, kind, and enthusiastic about the work they do! They responded to our emails quickly, were affordable, resourceful, and made us feel special throughout the process. We were at ease the entire time. I still tear up when I think about our wedding because it was such a special day for us! Would recommend this service to any couple.Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Janna thank you so much for the kind words, we appreciate you and Phillip trusting us with your special day it was truly an honor to be a part of it. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love!

Brianna P. Sent on 04/14/2022I couldn't have had a better experience!
Elope Tampa Bay gave my husband and I the BEST wedding we could’ve asked for. Everything was so simple and Catie was seriously a lifesaver. She was always there to answer any question questions I had. The response time to questions was insane. Sometimes, I’d hear back like 10 minutes later. We had everything we could’ve asked for at such a reasonable price. The flowers were gorgeous. The cake was delicious. The photographer and videographer they set up for us were wonderful. The quality is insane for the price. I cannot recommend this company enough. It made planning so simple. I didn’t have to worry about booking any other vendor (besides transportation and where to eat after). Everything was done for us. We just had to show up! They really take your likes/dislikes into consideration when planning so everything is exactly what you’d like.Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Brianna,
Thank you so much for these kind words. I still get choked up thinking abut your day it was so full of love and laughter. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and John and your family and friends. I am still talking about that incredible sunset through the storms. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love.

Vicky Sent on 03/17/2022Don't hesitate on ETB!
I LOVED working with ETB and cannot say enough good things about the team (especially my lead planner Catie). I would highly recommend them to my friends or anyone looking to have an elopement / small ceremony! Catie was SUPER easy to work with - she was very responsive, organized, and most importantly, patient with all my questions (ranging from if there will be water at the venue to which side would I stand). She had at least two calls with me before I even booked with them to talk about the entire process. She made sure I was comfortable with everything and that all questions were answered. The team took care of everything like contacting and hiring vendors and made the whole planning process stress-free. On the day of, Catie and Melanie were so warming and enthusiastic and made sure everything go smoothly and perfectly. They were super efficient and on top of everything - I did not have worry about anything at all! Choosing ETB was the best decision - it truly made our ceremony so enjoyable and memorable.Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Vicky!!!! Thank you so much for your kind words, you have me teary-eyed. You were such a pleasure to work with and I appreciate you putting your trust in us on your special day it was an honor to be apart of it. I wish you and Kelvin a lifetime of happiness and love yall are just the cutest!!!

Highly recommend Elope Tampa Bay !!
When starting the wedding planning process I felt overwhelmed and unsure. We wanted to Elope but also wanted to keep our families happy by involving/inviting them. In the end it all fell together perfectly thanks to Elope Tampa Bay!! Catie and the team helped us but together a beach "micro-wedding" that fit us perfectly. We had so much fun and so did our families/friends. Thanks Elope Tampa Bay for being so fun and easy to work with! We HIGHLY recommend using Elope Tampa Bay if an elopement or micro-wedding is what you're planning 💕
Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Amanda,
Thank you so much for the kind words, it was such an honor to be apart of your and Dan's special day. I have told all my friends about the dog figurines they were such a sweet touch and I'm still gushing over your photos. It was such a fun day, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love.

It was honestly a pleasant surprise as to how smoothly everything went.
Much thanks and appreciation to: Catie, Nyssa, and the Elope Tampa Bay team. You guys did a wonderful job making our dream wedding come true. Every detail was executed beautifully. It was honestly a pleasant surprise as to how smoothly everything went.
The vendors that you work with (i.e. Bonnie Sanchez, Amber McWhorter, Imagery Wedding Films, Lemon Drops, and Alessi Bakery) we're fantastic as well. Very professional but personable too.
You guys are aces in our book and we will highly recommend you to others. Much thanks!!! -

Maria M. Sent on 12/15/2021Thank you, Elope Tampa Bay
I would highly recommend Elope Tampa Bay. The process was so easy and stress-free. They were great at keeping in touch with me and answering all of my questions through Honeybook. Also, Catie called us about a week before the wedding to discuss all of the details for the day of. Everything went smoothly, and we were very happy with our officiant, photographer and cinematographer. They did a great job. The flowers were beautiful, too, and when the gorgeous cake fell in the sand (after we cut it, tasted it and took photos, thankfully), Catie assured me she would bring us another cake the next morning... and she did. Thank you Elope Tampa Bay and Catie!Elope Tampa Bay's reply:
Aww thank you so much for the kind words!! This means a lot to us. It was such an honor to be. part of your special day and I am so glad we were able to get a new cake the next day! Wishing you and Curtis a lifetime of happiness and love.

Brian J. Sent on 11/10/2021Tens across the board!
Planning a wedding is supposed to be one of the most stressful events of a person's life. With Elope Tampa Bay, that was not even close to being the case. Melanie and Catie were there every step of the way and guided us through booking vendors, picking a venue, choosing floral themes, and any other wedding-related topic you could possibly come up with. They gave us their personal contact info and urged us to reach out with any questions or concerns as soon as they arose, and they always made us feel better when we started to get those jitters leading up to the big day. I cannot recommend Elope Tampa Bay enough for those of you planning small weddings and elopements in the Tampa Bay area. -

Magical Wedding Experience!
When starting wedding planning, everything was so overwhelming and stressful. I didn't know where to begin or how to put my special day together from beginning to end without help. With wanting to go with a smaller and intimate wedding to save money, Elope Tampa Bay was my saving grace!
It was almost too good to be true that a company took over and planned your wedding day with everything and more you could have wanted. From start to end, communication was impeccable. They are so caring, understanding and fast with responding. They covered everything from venue permits, officiant, photography and videography, music with first dance, cake, flowers and champagne in the package I purchased. Anything else I needed help with was easy to navigate with their welcome packet and references.
Having amazing photos was my priority for my wedding day, and they definitely did not disappoint! I could have not asked for a more magical day. Seeing the venue when I arrived set up to perfection in addition with the gorgeous cake and flowers was truly breathtaking.
Amazing, amazing, 5 stars! I could not recommend this company more. Affordable and stress free. You will feel like you hardly did any planning because they take the worry right off your hands! -
