I never understood what people meant when saying hiring a wedding planner was an investment in your wedding, until I met Michelle. I could go on for pages about how amazing Michelle and her team were on my wedding day! I found her from her Instagram posts of a friends wedding several months ago and decided to hire her for month of planning because I was getting overwhelmed. To say she helped out would be an understatement. She got me organized and handled all the little things I didn't even know I needed to do. She was in constant communication with me and even kept on top of me to get things done I needed to do on my own. The day of, I don't know if I could have pulled it off without her. She helped get everything set up, kept me calm, handled all my vendors, and managed my bridal party (who are like herding cats). I would recommend her to ANYONE getting married. Michelle and Precious Moments was worth every penny! Definitely a smart investment for anyone getting married! -

Best wedding planner EVER!!!!! If I could give Michelle more than 5 stars she would get an unlimited amount. As a destination bride from Chicago, I knew trying to plan a wedding on my own was going to be a challenge. My wedding venue, Mote required at minimum a day of coordinator. After speaking on the phone with Michelle at the beginning of last year asking her about the different options she provides, I knew that she was the planner for us. Being from Chicago, I love that Michelle shares the same philosophy with me of wanting to get ahead of things and get things planned and done as soon as possible. Within, 2 months of hiring Michelle we had all of our big vendors booked. Not only that but she knew I wanted a nautical themed wedding and took my vision and elevated it to a level that neither my husband or I could have imagined. Also, her husband Nelson was amazing and willing to do whatever was needed to make sure my brother who is physically disabled was able to participate in our beach ceremony wedding. She helped us work within our budget and recommended the best vendors we could have asked for. Michelle always made me feel at ease and heard with what we were looking for on our special day. I feel like after this I did not only get a phenomenal wedding planner who I would recommend to any and everyone, but a friend in the process. When it came to talking about flowers, I knew I wanted tropical as we had a beach wedding and Michelle communicated to Eva exactly what I wanted, but little did I know that I was going to be speechless when I saw the beauty Eva created for me with my cascading bouquet, not to mention the amazing arrangements she did for the chuppah. Eva did such an amazing job with the florals, I decided to preserve them in resin to have a constant reminder of the amazing work both of these ladies did to make our wedding as amazing and unforgettable as it was. While I could keep writing on and on about how easy and amazing it was working with Michelle, I will end with this.....don't think about it, just do it. You will definitely not regret for one moment choosing Michelle and Precious Moments. It will be the second best decision you make, outside of saying yes to your forever person. -

Michelle and her team were very responsive. I had several vendors not answering my emails,calls,texts and Michelle offered to drive to their place of business to get an answer. Her team was really great and everything ran smoothly -

I cannot begin to express how thankful we are for Michelle and her team! Let me tell you, choosing a wedding planner is overwhelming since there seems to be so many choices, all offering similar packages, and many were just starting up their companies. I found Michelle and her husband at a bridal expo and decided to use them for our wedding in December 2023 at Opal Sands Resort for month-of/day of coordination. Michelle provided SO MUCH more than just month-of services. For the last year, Michelle was ALWAYS available for us with any questions we had, recommendations we needed, or simply someone to talk to about visions and details. She required us to schedule monthly 15 minute phone calls to ensure we were not stressed and could help guide us in anyway possible. On the weekend of the wedding, not only did Michelle coordinate every detail she also avoided me knowing of any hiccups of the day or issues as she truly wanted me to enjoy the weekend and be present with my family and friends. She offers set up and take down services which is the best thing ever! I had so many guests asking us at the end of the night how they could help with the clean up and Michelle's response to me was “i want you to enjoy the rest of your night-we got this” and that she did. Everything was packaged and stored away for us as she said. I got multiple compliments about Michelle on the wedding day as well as the days after from other vendors, guests, and my family. Thank you SO much Michelle and her team. You will always be a huge part of our wedding day and the reason why it truly was the best day of our lives. Love you guys!

Michelle of Precious Moments Events is an absolute gem of a wedding planner! Being an out-of-state bride, I had my concerns with pulling off my dream wedding in FL and IN my budget, but Michelle made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Her round-the-clock availability, quick responses, and her warm, friendly demeanor made her not just a planner but a friend throughout the journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any bride, whether local or from out of state. Her professionalism, passion, and attention to detail are truly unparalleled, and I am so thankful for everything she did to make our big day absolutely perfect. If you want a wedding planner who goes above and beyond in every way, look no further!
Michelle's expertise and personal touch turned our wedding dreams into a stunning reality. I highly recommend her services to any bride. She's the key to a stress-free, picture-perfect wedding day!

Month of coordination client
I’m fairly certain I will never be able to find the words to describe how grateful I am for having Michelle and the Precious Moments team as our month of coordinators. After getting engaged, I connected with a few different planners and Michelle was the standout – by far. We fell in love with her energy, sincerity, timeliness, organization, and so much more. We shared our vision and she immediately understood what we were looking for – and helped us achieve our dream wedding. Michelle quickly became our voice of reason / someone to lean on while planning – and she was always a phone call, text, meeting, or email away. That said, from start to finish, our wedding day WAS the best day of our lives and BEYOND perfect in every single way.
The attention to detail and thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed. Recently on a phone call with my new mother-in-law, she mentioned how special it was that Michelle gathered our parents for our wedding exit so that they had the best view of us leaving to start our new life together.
We still have family and friends talking about it weeks later.. I can wholeheartedly say that none of it would have been possible without Michelle and the Precious Moments team – and we truly cannot thank them enough for creating the best experience we could have ever imagined. Cannot recommend them enough to anyone and everyone! -

Our Dream Became Reality
We were so happy that we hired Michelle and her team. She ensured our day ran smoothly from start to finish. She was incredibly professional and attentive to us and made sure that we had absolutely everything we needed. This was a destination wedding for us, and without Michelle’s expertise and knowledge of our venue(powel crosley estate) we could not have had the experience that we did. If you are looking for someone that will make your dream day come true, look no further. Thank you again Michelle, a day we will never forget.

Katrina P. Sent on 05/30/2023Book Precious Moments Events before they're all booked up!!
I had the privilege of working with Michelle for month of coordinator. My expectations were over-exceeded, Michelle did a phenomenal job on the experience itself. I'm not local to the Tampa area (currently in Atlanta) so I planned everything from afar. From our first initial phone conversation, where she helped recommend several vendors even before I had booked her (that sold me alone), all the way to my wedding day, where even day of we had a mishap with the venue and chair situation, Michelle was professional, always cool, calm and collected, and a huge problem solver. I highly recommend working with Michelle, even though she was a busy bee for several weddings at a time, she never made me feel like just another number or just another bride. Book Precious Moments Events before they're all booked up!! -

Michelle was an absolute godsend. Every detail, every stress, she was always just a phone call or text message away. Throughout the entire process she was great and on top of everything. I couldn't have imagined doing the actual day of the wedding without her. She handled every issue, every problem, every celebratory moment with grace. Michelle and her team was amazing from start to finish. -

Tristian T. Sent on 02/27/2023Michelle is Amazing!!!
I met Michelle at a bridal expo show and we hit it off right from the beginning. I had a consult call with her a few weeks later and she instantly made me feel calm and that everything was going to be taken care of. We used her all-inclusive package and she handled everything! Scheduling all the vendors, and working with the venue, decor, and flowers. She truly is a one-stop shop! On the day of the wedding, her team was amazing!!! They set up, broke down, did a room flip, directed all my guests to the correct locations, and, most importantly, made sure I and my husband had a drink in our hands the whole time. I didn't have to worry about anything and only focused on enjoying my wedding. They were amazing and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! -

Michelle and her team were absolute DREAM MAKERS! Everything was beyond perfect. Michelle is extremely organized and professional but also understands the stress of planning a wedding and leads with a gentle touch. She completely brought our vision to life and introduced us to key vendors. The day was perfectly seamless and there is not a thing we would change. I would recommend Michelle to anyone planning their wedding in the area. -

I highly recommend Michelle and her team at Precious Moments, they were so amazing in helping us plan and coordinate our recent wedding! If you’re considering hiring a planner, this is your sign to do it. We had zero exposure to the wedding industry and were very overwhelmed with the process until meeting Michelle. She answered our million questions promptly during the planning process, gave tons of suggestions when needed, and was very flexible with our complicated work schedules. They also have so many connections with local vendors we actually saved a good chunk of money. Most importantly, she ensured our wedding day was exactly what WE wanted as a couple. I had some very specific wishes, she never questioned any of our decisions, she just made it happen. She also always verified all changes with me as we had some fairly complicated family dynamics at play.
On the wedding day of she was 100% there for anything we (mostly me-bride) needed, it was a hot Florida day and she brought us sodas before pictures. She fixed my dress 100+ times and my makeup after I cried and kept touching my face. She set aside a few cookies for me because the day flew by and she knew I wanted them. She took out 20+ bobby pins at the end of the night (& fixed my hair after) because I had a headache and wanted to dance with my hair down! Michelle was a total lifesaver in planning and coordinating our wedding, and her team she ensured our day was absolutely perfect! -

I could not imagine our big day without Michelle!
I don't even know where to start. I am from Chicago, and always dreamed of getting married in beautiful Siesta Key, Florida. I can thank both Michelle and her wonderful husband Nelson for allowing my dream to come true.
My husband and I traveled to Siesta Key to view venues, and once we fell in love with one, we did not even know where to start. After viewing our dream venue, we went to breakfast and started searching for planners. Within minutes of sending Michelle an inquiry, she called and offered to meet us right then for breakfast. Instantly she showed how committed and passionate she is about her role as a planner.
It can be very overwhelming being so far away, but Michelle reassured us she could and would handle everything.
Michelle was responsive and supportive with every step of the way. She took the time to get to know us, which allowed her to customize every vendor around us.
After a year of many calls, lots of planning, and a few short visits, we truly consider Michelle and Nelson now family.
We love you guys and cannot thank you enough for everything.

Exceptional Experience!!!
10/10 recommend the all inclusive package with Precious Moments Events. Michelle and her team met high expectations of what I envisioned our wedding day to be. I was very specific on the details of the aesthetics and Michelle and her team delivered my vision. She was professional, responsive and solutions driven through the entire planning process and provided tons of feedback based on her experience in hosting beach weddings. They were super attentive to my guests and were super hands on with everything the day of. My guest felt taken care of and I was relieved to know we were all in good hands. Forever grateful for connecting with Michelle and her team. My wedding ceremony 6/18 on Coquina Beach was a complete success! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -

Made our wedding day so memorable and beautiful
Michelle and Nelson are truly so great to work with! Michelle was so quick to respond to all questions I had leading up to our wedding day and took so much stress off my shoulders the week of. We had problems Opulent lighting and Michelle took care of everything the day of and made sure everything was beautiful. When we had to make the rain call I remember Michelle reassuring me she would make sure I had a beautiful wedding on Sanibel and I was so so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you Michelle and Nelson for helping make our day run so smoothly! I can’t even imagine not having them there to help coordinate! :) Highly recommend Precious Moments and would absolutely use them again! -

Amazing Professional wedding planner
I was really hesitant when going into hire somebody to do my wedding for me… I really thought it would be easier and cheaper to do everything myself, boy was I wrong! Trying to find all the proper vendors and get everything organized for that day is the hardest thing one should ever have to do alone. And I found that it was not cheaper to go my own route. Your wedding planner has connections to people that she knows are amazing, People that she’s worked with for years. We only get one big wedding if we’re lucky, make it worth it! Michelle was really good at making my vision a reality, She’s very patient, she’s always available, And she gets equally excited for your big day. Whenever I needed her she was there, never too busy for me, Always ready with an open ear to listen. I would find things I liked and I would send them to her and she would say “we can do that”! She’s super laid-back and down to earth… No matter how crazy her family can be at a wedding she seen it all and nothing surprises her lol. She even served as my counselor a few times! I would never change anything about my wedding for she made it a beautiful reality for us. I would highly recommend hiring a wedding planner, but Not only a wedding planner a ,friend! Her entire team did a beautiful job setting up and taking down our reception I didn’t have to lift a finger! It was the most magical day of my life! Thank you Michelle and team!
