    Perfect Choice for a beach wedding!

    I was impressed by how easy it was to plan a beach wedding with Weddings on a Whim. The team is very professional and talented, as well as adaptable.
    We were able to get guidance as needed in selecting the ceremony type, vows, readings, and decorations.
    The officiant was perfect for us, and delivered a beautiful ceremony. The production manager was creative and friendly, and the photographer is top-notch, caring, and professional.
    Together, the team is a gem. We are so fortunate to have found them for our Madeira Beach wedding!

    May Beach Wedding Dream

    My husband and I are from Wisconsin, we came down last year to look at the beach options and reception options that Weddings on a Whim discussed on their website. We were not disappointment so we booked. May 2nd of this year we were back for the big day and it was amazing. Gayle always responds quickly if I had questions over the year and the day of and it was a very stress free day for us. I could not have asked or planned a better beach ceremony. It was a day that we will never forget.

    Gayle and crew are truly the best. They listened and took my daughter's vision for the perfect ceremony and mad it a reality. We can't say enough about their professionalism.

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great service made for a great wedding

    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.

    We were treated like Family! ❤️

    Outstanding experience!

    Weddings on Whim was so professional, Gayle treated us like her own family was getting married, one of sweetest people I've met.

    Our wedding was on Sand Key Beach in Clearwater FL, we live locally and when my husband and I decided we knew we wanted to elope and do something very small and intimate. We were doing some research and Weddings on Whim came up and they were a perfect fit.
    They had an option to pay just for the location and service itself no decorations or music exactly what we wanted. The price was unbeatable, we only had to go to the courthouse and buy the license prior to the wedding! Other than that Gayle sent a list of what we desired for our wedding vows and important details. We chose the Irish Blessing for ours and my goodness she made the experience magical.

    She treated my family with care and showed us so much kindness. Our wedding was gorgeous and I am so happy we chose Weddings on a Whim. Thank you fo such a amazing experience!!! ❤️❤️

    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!
