    Amazing Coordinator and Officiant

    We were looking for someone local to our area for an elopement on the beach, and are very lucky to have found Dona. She was quick to get back and confirm the date and the details for our big day. It was a lovely location, and her photographer did a great job. Dona and the photographer were both so kind and friendly. I really appreciated the vow suggestions, the reminders and the helpful links Dona provided. We highly recommend you go with Dona for your big day! You won’t regret it!

    40th Anniversary Vow Renewal

    When I first thought of this celebration I had no idea how to pursue it or if anyone even did this. I went to Google and searched vow renewals in the Brevard County area and Dona Grigsby came up along with several others. I sent out several inquiries and she responded with her options the same day. She responded with a friendly atmosphere, her reply was very professional, listed several renewal options, plans, prices, was very familiar with the area we chose and immediately became my choice. She also recommended a photographer who she works with regularly and was awesome as well. We stayed in touch throughout the 5 month planning and worked together to choose the best ceremony. Both of us are so grateful for their services, really made it enjoyable and not just a sermon and will remember it forever!

    Complete package

    I found Dona via internet search- I followed her on FB and liked what I saw. She responded right away when I reached out. We set up a phone call where she paid close attention to my wants and desires for my special day. She helped guide me to the perfect venue!!

    Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, it was intimate, filled with love, and new memories. Dona communicated every step of the way, I didn’t feel nervous or overwhelmed, she took care of it all!

    Dona with Love is a Beach is incredible!

    Dona was a huge help in keeping us on track and even helped with a few extras as we didn’t have a venue coordinator as was expected.

    She has now married three generations in my family and we couldn’t have picked a better officiant!

    Much love and thanks Dona!

    The beach ceremony of our dreams!

    We are so glad we found Dona. We had a very intimate beach wedding, without any extras, just our family and us, so we were very easy going and didn’t know what to expect. Dona helped us find the perfect spot on the beach and was very attentive when it came to the ceremony and out personal wishes. Everyone loved the ceremony and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful day!

    Dona is an amazing officiant to have on your wedding day ♥️ She made the process seamless and answered all of our questions with detail. She has great energy which put us to ease throughout the ceremony. She also recommended locations, photographers, and was flexible due to rain on our wedding day.

    Thank you Dona for officiating our wedding and being so helpful and flexible with us during our wedding week. We’re so thankful, you were truly a blessing to us during our wedding day! 🤍

    Dream Wedding at Cocoa Beach

    It was a pleasure to work with Dona. We were so nervous about our special day, and she helped us to ease our nerves. We were hesitant about the place we were going to make our wedding, and she suggested an amazing spot at Cocoa Beach just a couple of days before the wedding, and it turned out to be a dream wedding. We appreciated her hard work, professionalism, and cooperation. If you are looking for an affordable, amazing beach wedding, Love is Beach Wedding is the one!

    Beautiful Breezy Day

    I reached out to Dona because we wanted to plan a beach wedding, and from out of state. Dona spent time on the phone with me answering questions and listening to what my vision for the ceremony would entail. She was great at responding through email with important updates and info. In the contract for her services, there was a part that said that she would try her best to set up on the beach according to my wishes, but that sometimes the weather doesnt cooperate, and an alternate location has to be used instead. Our wedding day was beautiful, warm and clear, but as the day wore on the wind apeed increased. As we approached the beach, I was so very pleasantly surprised that she made the herculean effort to put up the arch and fabric. It looked awesome! Most importantly, Dona provided a beautiful intimate ceremony and beach wedding experience that we will cherish always.

    Must book. Affordable. Beautiful. Patient. Knowledgable

    Dona was amazing, patient, and super knowledgeable. She provides sound and reasonable recommendations while listening to your desires and preferences. Our ceremony was gorgeous and EVERYTHING we dream. Sand, intimate, and purple lol. Package was super affordable and unlike other vendors, photography for our package was included and the pictures came out AMAZING.

    Dona is Amazing!

    Dona was a pleasure to work with when we planned our wedding! She was first off, one of the only people in the area that would set-up chairs on the beach (which apparently a lot of other vendors won't do.) She was also incredibly thoughtful with her ideas for how to set up our space, and demonstrated immense knowledge of best practices for the ceremony space. We, unfortunately, had to move locations fairly last minute due to a recent hurricane, and Dona was incredibly flexible and willing to assist with changing our initial vision from a beach wedding to a park wedding. The chairs that she provided were also beautiful and arranged in the perfect way for our ceremony. We couldn't recommend Dona enough for any of your events as she's truly a delight to work with!
