    Beach wedding in Key Largo

    Brian was our wedding officiant for our beach wedding. He came to our rehearsal and did a lovely job officiating our wedding. He was very accommodating to the additions I made to our ceremony which included a family sand ceremony, several readings, and Spanish arras. He handled our multicultural wedding (Cuban & Belarussian) with finesse! Thank you Brian & Jill!

    Mile Marker Wedding and Events By Jill's reply:

    Thank you so very much. We enjoyed every moment with you and your wedding vows where so unique and we just love that in a wedding. It was my pleasure to be part of your ceremony and to meet your family. They all had a special part in your day and that always makes us smile. Many Blessings!! Brian & Jill

    Working with Jill!

    As a professional in the industry as DJ, I work with many coordinators for weddings and getting paired with Jill was such a great experience. Beyond showing excellent coordination, I watched Jill show empathy, and compassion during some personal moments, remain calm, and know what to do them naturally get people excited. I would highly recommend Jill to any couple planning their wedding!!

    Top notch but yet very personable !!

    Words can’t describe how great a job Jill with Mile Marker Weddings did . From the first phone call she made me feel like I’d known her all my life & was on spot on with knowing what I wanted . She immediately set us up with a private chef & photographer for our intimate wedding . I was concerned about my ceremony being too small for her since she’s known for doing larger events but she assured me nothing was too small . She turned our ideas into the most amazing setting for our intimate ceremony at our private beach property we had rented for the week . She even set up an amazing table by the water for our dinner . Very special & something I couldn’t have done without her . She even helped me with my dress since I didn’t have anyone in my wedding party . I would post some pictures but I don’t have them back yet from the photographer . I highly recommend Jill for your wedding !!

    Mile Marker Wedding and Events By Jill's reply:

    Thank you so very much. You two were such a joy to work with and the love you share together just shines through your smiles. I hope to see you again in you visit back to the keys. I am so looking forward to the pictures that will be coming out soon.

    Thank you and many Blessings to you both.

    Sincerely, Jill

    Wealth of Knowledge

    Jill has been in the business for so long and has so many valuable tips, tricks and vendor relations. Everyone I spoke to about working with Jill had nothing but good things to say! She was always responsive and willing to brainstorm. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the Keys!

    Absolute Specialist and the Best in Their Craft

    We worked with Jill Atkinson-Tharp for our officiant. We had planned a destination wedding and were hesitant on the selection of all vendors. Jill put our minds at ease and followed through with everything she said she would do. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She made the whole process very special and we plan on renewing our vows with her in the future. She also was able to direct a marriage-by-mail service that made everything so much easier. One-thousand out of five stars isn't even high enough.

    Mile Marker Wedding and Events By Jill's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I absolutely enjoyed meeting you both and your passion for each other just touched my heart. It was such an honor to be part of your wedding. There was not a dry eye in the house :))

    Many Blessings to you both :))

    Florida Keys Wedding

    I cannot say enough about Jill - she is nothing short of amazing. With a heart of gold, she truly made our wedding day so special! She truly cares. She went above and beyond for us through phone calls, emails, texts and even meeting us the day before to do a quick walk through of everything. Her bubbly personality and her love for everyone is contagious. I highly recommend her. She will hold a special place in our hearts!!

    Mile Marker Wedding and Events By Jill's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. You two have a place in my heart. I absolutely adored your Love for each other and your day was just magical!!!

    Jill is awesome!!

    Jill is not just a great wedding planner but such an awesome person! She is energetic, real and down for her brides! I hired her as my month of coordinator after a phone conversation with her where we both realized we were Jersey girls living in Florida and we connected right away. She was always available to take my phone calls and made sure to be there for me for a few issues that arose (vendor dropped the ball on my reserved tent and she went above and beyond to make sure I got one!) leading up to the big day. Jill is down to earth and was so helpful with her ideas and suggestions. She is organized, punctual and on the ball! Everything a bride would want in a coordinator- she is also super fun and myself and my bridal party generally enjoyed having her around! I was able to enjoy my wedding weekend without having to worry about anything. Apparently the morning of my wedding, her assistant dropped out last minute bc she got covid and I had no idea- Jill did it all! She’s the best!

    Mile Marker Wedding and Events By Jill's reply:

    You are so Kind. I will say, your wedding was so much fun!!! I enjoyed every second of it and your bridal party, friends and family were simply amazing! I still talk about your wedding to others and cannot thank you enough for your kind remarks. I look forward to visiting you at your workplace and hope you come back to the keys and say Hi.

    Look no further for your wedding planner!

    I really love and I´m fan of Jill's creativity! She combines an exquisite artistic taste for every detail with all the practical skills and knowledge of how to handle all wedding aspects, so professional always! She is a gifted wedding planner and deeply loves and enjoys what she does. I feel that must be what makes the big magic of her weddings. They were always very patient, responsive, and are in the know with the most current and fabulous trends. We absolutely recommend them without any hesitation! Jill and her team work is just amazing!!!

    Amazing!! She handled everything. Gave me suggestions for the flowers for a shuttle that we decided to have arranged for the sunset toast everything!

    I live outside of Chicago and I had a destination wedding in marathon key on Sunset Beach. Jill handled everything perfectly! It went off without a hitch it was absolutely amazing and it was absolutely her fault that it was!!

    Where do we even begin! Jill was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My husband and I live in NY, and wanted a destination wedding. Jill was a great help making our dreams come to life. She recommended awesome vendors and places to visit while we were down in Marathon. She is so easy to communicate with and makes you feel like family. Hurry up and book her before she’s booked. You won’t regret this decision!

    Jill immediately returned my calls and emails when I reached out with questions about my daughter's wedding in the Florida Keys. It felt as if I was having a conversation with my best friend.

    Fantastic!

    I can’t say enough good things about Jill and Mile Marker Weddings! She was both our Wedding Coordinator and Officiant and she rocked at both! Her husband, Brian, was also there to assist and he did a great job! They did such an awesome work making sure the day flowed well and everything was setup correctly. Also, Jill was so upbeat and enthusiastic the whole day, which is nice and reassuring when you’re a bit stressed like I was on my wedding day. She made you feel like you were in good hands. All I can say is hire her and you won’t regret it!

    Fantastic Wedding Planner!! :)

    Jill was on the ball with everything! She planned out every detail in our timeline for the wedding day, and gave us several recommendations for vendors. Since we live in Iowa, she did all the leg-work in the Keys to coordinate and communicate with vendors. She is very creative and can think outside the box whenever there's an obstacle to overcome! I highly recommend Jill as your wedding planner! She helped create our dream wedding! Thank you so much for everything Jill!! :)

    Made planning a wedding from another state a breeze!

    Jill was so helpful when we were planning our wedding! She was responsive, had great recommendations, and had me covered for the only hiccup we ran into (my phone refused to hook up to the sound system). She took care of the flowers for us and had them to me in plenty of time for photos and the florist she works with did a gorgeous job. Our ceremony was beautiful, the perfect length, and let us express ourselves as a couple. I cannot say enough good things!

    What would I have done without Jill?!

    When doing research online for our intimate destination wedding in Islamorada, I came across Jill (officiant) and Mile Marker Party Rentals...and what a blessing that was!!! Jill was incredible to work with! She made planning for our destination wedding easier and was willing to show us some wedding locations when we were in town. She had plenty of excellent recommendations and resources for everything we inquired about. Everyone we came across had wonderful things to say about Jill and her business. Our wedding day went flawlessly due to Jill’s work. She made it personal to us! Such a beautiful and fun ceremony! I cannot say enough about mile marker party rentals!!!

    Mile Marker Wedding and Events By Jill's reply:

    Thank you so much. After all the searching for places you landed on such a Beautiful Property and it was perfect for the ceremony and your puppy's were happy too :)
    Thank you for having me be part of your special day!! You two are awesome.

    They went the extra mile!

    They really went that extra mile!! Delivery, set-up, take-down... it was all such a breeze and I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was so gorgeous on the beach that it set the perfect backdrop for our special moment. Jill was absolutely fantastic and so sweet. Thank you so much for making our day so easy and so beautiful!!

    Absolutely amazing

    Jill was absolutely wonderful for our small beach wedding. I had a vision and it far exceeded anything I could've hoped for. We asked her to move closer to the water for our ceremony so we could have our feet in the sand and she made adjustments for exactly what we wanted and had to make adjustments to support the arbor. She officiated our wedding and was absolutely perfect. Clear communication back and forth with us as we live in Ohio. I would definitely recommend Jill for anyone! Thank you Jill!
