    Gayle is amazing

    I just want to share what an amazing experience I’ve had communicating with Gayle. Gayle was extremely consistent with her communication and commitment to showing me every possible plan. I have to say the flexibility and affordability is truly amazing. I would recommend to anyone on a budget or anyone who is trying to plan something fast. I really appreciate you Gayle for just going beyond the extra mile and answering all questions with clarity. Thank you thank you thank you!

    Dream Elopement!!!

    From the day Gayle picked up the phone to greet us (All the way from Austin, Tx) up until our big day, she was nothing but an Angel! She put all my butterflies to ease with her warm, comforting voice & her hilarious humor! We will never forget our time together & years from now will always appreciate our intimate ceremony. Thank you Gayle, you're a friend for life in our book

    Absolutely wonderful

    Gayle and Toni were an absolute pleasure to work with. From day one, Gayle was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions I had. They completely lifted any stress of having a wedding out of state. Toni went above and beyond to personally take pictures of the bouquets they offer to rent for the ceremony. So much so, that we chose a bouquet and boutonniere for our beach ceremony. The set up on the beach was absolutely gorgeous and everything I truly wanted and envisioned. Thank you, Gayle, Toni, and team, for all of your hard work. We appreciated it so much!

    Florida Beach Weddings by Weddings On a Whim's reply:

    Thank you for your wonderful words, Katie. We are blessed and lifted to hear that we helped make your beach ceremony everything you had envisioned. We’re delighted to receive your appreciation and praise. And grateful to have shared in your planning, then to have been a part of your special day. We are sending heartfelt thanks and wishes for a long and happy life together, The Whim Team

    Weddings on a Whim was fantastic to work with and so flexible

    Gayle walked me through everything I needed to do. When a hurricane threatened to cancel our wedding, she and Matt went above and beyond to make sure we were able to get married 2 days early. I called her in a panic and they were there within about an hour. Our wedding was very simple but so memorable. I would definitely recommend Weddings on a Whim!

    Florida Beach Weddings by Weddings On a Whim's reply:

    Dear Kristen, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted to have been a part of your special day and grateful for the opportunity to make it memorable. Flexibility is a cornerstone of our service. We're happy we were able to ensure your wedding happened, even amidst the threat of a hurricane. Your recommendation means the world to us. It was a pleasure to work with you, and we appreciate your trust in Weddings On a Whim. When you're ready to renew your vows: thanks for remembering us. With Neal by your side, I am confident you will share a long and very happy life together, Gayle (& Photographer Matt)

    All our beach wedding dreams come true!!

    We wanted a small intimate wedding ceremony. Gayle and her crew were amazing from the start of our questions through the wedding day! They are a very professional team, the decor was very nice and best of all it was affordable. We also got wedding pictures from them, and Nick was such a fun photographer. How often does the owner of the company arrange all the details, and also come to marry you? We absolutely loved our Weddings on a Whim experience!!

    Florida Beach Weddings by Weddings On a Whim's reply:

    Dear Kelly, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience with Weddings on a Whim and that we could contribute to your small and intimate wedding ceremony. It warms our hearts to know that you found our team to be professional, you enjoyed the décor, and you appreciated the affordability of our services. We believe that every wedding should be special and tailored to the couple, and we're glad we could meet your expectations. Nick, our photographer, is indeed a gem, and we're delighted to hear that he added a fun touch to your wedding pictures. As a team, we take pride in going above and beyond, and having Gayle, the owner, personally involved in arranging details and officiating is a unique aspect we cherish. Wishing you a long and happy life together! The Whim Team

    Beautiful Ceremony

    Weddings on a Whim was perfect for our elopement wedding. We visited from out of state and on a whim decided to get married after years of being together. The planning process was so easy. Gayle was so helpful and responsive. For years, I thought about my wedding day and Gayle was able to create and deliver a ceremony of my dreams. We were so touched with her words during the ceremony. She offers a sense of genuineness that is a true gift. We loved the location she recommended at a beautiful neighborhood park in Largo. Our pictures turned out beautifully. Gayle was so warm and she made us feel so comfortable from start to end. I am grateful that we found Gayle and Weddings on a Whim.

    Wonderful from start to finish.

    I recently planned an elopement wedding for my sister who was visiting Florida from Canada. My sister and her fiancé have been together for 29 years and after all that time of waiting to have a wedding, they couldn’t have had a more intimate and beautiful ceremony. Gayle with Weddings on a Whim was beyond wonderful to work with. From the initial email she was attentive to details, prompt with her replies, and very in tune with what the couple wanted. She has a level of discernment that is only possible when you not only love what you do but you are meant to be doing it. She was able to know exactly what the couple wanted after a few quick emails. She was beyond kind, warm, and she went out of her way to ensure that their day was successful. So much so that she even had them meet her early and follow her vehicle to the place of the ceremony and took the most beautiful photos of them afterwards. We all have so much gratitude for Gayle and can’t thank her enough for making my sisters dream of a wedding come true.

    Perfect Elopement!

    My fiancé and I booked a vacation to Clearwater, FL in February 2022 before he proposed to me. Once he popped the question in March and I started to look into planning a wedding, I jokingly turned to him one night and said "Why don't we just get married while we are on vacation?" Here we are now in August and we are happily married, all thanks to Weddings on a Whim!

    We decided to fully elope - just the two of us. No family or friends...which definitely makes things a lot easier when trying to plan. Weddings on a Whim made planning an elopement so easy, even all the way from Maryland. They were always responsive, kind, and helpful every step of the way.

    When it came time for our wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a smoother day. It was everything that we had hoped for and more. We cannot thank Gayle and her team enough for making our day so perfect.

    Florida Beach Weddings by Weddings On a Whim's reply:

    We thank you for finding us and for being the perfect couple - kind, appreciative and in Love! (Not to mention good looking too). Wishing you a long and happy life together. Gratefully, Gayle & the Whim Team

    Weddings on a Whim was great! They took care of everything and it made for a perfect wedding day! Gayle and her team were easy to work with and provided caring professional service. I found Weddings on Whim through a Google search. I read the reviews and trusted what was shared. The experience with Weddings on a Whim exceeded my expectations. If you are planning a beach wedding, I would highly recommend Weddings on Whim.

    awesome wedding ceremony

    Although we didn't decide to marry on a whim it was planned but the day we wanted to get married was. We found Wedding on a Whim on Goggle and we could not have done better with weeks of research. We called and spoke to Gayle she agreed to meet us on Indian River Beach and preform the ceremony. So within two hours of our call we were married on a whim. Gayle was very professional and fun and I highly recommend her.

    Exactly What I Wanted

    My new husband and I are so thrilled with WeddingsOnaWhim! I wanted a sunset beach wedding and I got everything I could have asked for. The setup was perfect. The music sounded great. Saunceria was so incredibly helpful. We had to use a “beach wheelchair” to get my mom onto the beach and Saunceria helped get my mom in the wheelchair. One of the other staff members helped to “steer” her on the sand. We couldn’t have done it without their help! Our Officiant Kim did a wonderful job of bringing us into married bliss. I totally think Gayle and the entire team do a fantastic job and highly recommend them!

    Wedding 10/27/19

    Gayle and the team were fantastic. We planned the wedding from Maine and Gayle couldn't have made it any easier. From the beginning, she was friendly, positive and responsive. Even the week before the wedding, we needed to ask Gayle to be a backup officiant if we needed it, she was so flexible and accommodating. The day of the wedding went perfect, from the setup, music and the ceremony.
    THANK YOU, Gayle and Team, for everything.

    Planning a wedding from Texas in Florida was such an easy process with Gayle and her team. We just had to show up after picking colors, our songs and the perfect beach location. Gayle was fantastic and the whole ceremony was beautiful.

    A wedding even I could plan!

    Everything was made so easy it is clear that planning from another state has been streamlined by Gayle & Joe. Talking directly by phone is an option, but I was able to handle everything via e-mail without any issues. I would recommend this option if you are looking for a beach wedding. We were so nervous when we arrived, but the team was so friendly that we felt comfortable immediately after interacting with them. It was a very positive experience!

    Weddings on a Whim were WONDERFUL!

    We decided at the last minute to put a wedding together on Indian Rocks Beach (3 1/2 weeks!) After calling several wedding companies and feeling slightly frustrated and thinking maybe we needed more time to plan, I found Weddings on a Whim and contacted them. I spoke with Gayle the owner and what a nice experience it was! Gayle was so kind and willing to help me and accomodated what we were looking for. There was no more thought that this couldnt be done in such a short time. The whole team is just superb! From beginning to end, this was pretty much no stress for me. They set up our wedding exactly as I had hoped. If you are looking for an affordable, reliable, friendly company with OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE...this is for you! They made our special day exactly that..special! Thank you Gayle and the team...we are forever grateful!

    Weddings in a whim

    A dream come true!

    My now husband Tommy and I highly recommend Weddings on a Whim!!! Gayle, Saunceria, and Jerry were an amazing team of professionals to work with! They were efficient, helpful, kind, and extremely flexible! We were unable to carry out or planned large wedding in July due to COVID so we had to change our plan. WOW was the absolute answer to our prayers to assist in carrying out our small, safe, sunset beach ceremony! It was an absolute beautiful ceremony that was extremely organized, planned, and low stress! I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone! Thank you again guys, we ate beyond grateful and appreciative!!! Jerry the photographer was phenomenal and the pictures turned out gorgeous! Thank you so much again!

    Wonderful Experience

    Weddings on a Whim was a life saver when my wedding plans needed to change due to COVID-19. She was extremely helpful and responsive when it came to my questions and concerns. She pulled together a lovely ceremony within 2 weeks. I could not be more pleased with the outcome and how beautiful my wedding ceremony was. They are a wonderful company to work with and I would recommend using their services for any beach ceremony you are looking to have!

    Amazing experience

    Gayle was a delight to work with. Our Jamaica trip booked last November was cancelled at the last minute due to the pandemic. I literally had two weeks to get our elopement beach wedding together to save our wedding date. These folks helped me get it done in three days. I was so relieved! Their team had everything ready to go on time, had a beautiful ceremony and awesome photos afterwards. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a beach wedding in the area. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

    Wedding for June 2020 Clearwater beach florida

    They have been excellent in helping me get pricing and the best route to have a private wedding on a boat!! Definitely a bargain of a deal as well! Planning a destination wedding from out of the state is challenging and so far they have made decisions easier!

    Thank you Jennifer,
    Looking forward to your day. Congratulations until then. Happy days.
    and thanks for the review.
