    AMAZING Day of Coordinator!

    Stephanie was amazing to work with! As my wedding approached I struggled with a lot of anxiety, Stephanie always helped calmed my nerves and reassure me she had it covered! And on the day she of course did! My wedding was so smooth and everything went perfectly! I’d recommend her to anyone!

    Stephanie and her team made our night!

    Stephanie was absolutely amazing for my wedding!! I was looking for a florist for tropical florals and I came across Stephanie through other brides' recommendations on a Facebook group. I vetted and phoned interviewed a LOT of people and something about her just felt right so I went with my gut and scheduled an in-person consultation. During the initial consultation, she explained everything about her process so I had clear expectations and she mentioned she also offered decorations and day of coordination services. After a tour of her inventory I knew she had everything I wanted and more so I booked all her services. Flowers, decoration package and day of coordination. Honestly that saved me so much time and money! During the wedding planning process, she was always timely and responsive even with the smallest questions and recommendations. As the day got closer we had multiple in person meetings and venue visits to finalize the vision and plan. The day before the wedding, a member of her team came for rehearsal (it was so very much needed lol) and within 30 mins we had it all down to a science. Wedding day came and I can tell you NOT A SINGLE THING WENT WRONG. I couldn't believe it! Her team arrived early and went above and beyond to make the venue look absolutely gorgeous. I had no idea how it was going to look because I wanted something very particular and it felt like she went in my brain and just brought it to life. During the wedding, she and her team were on top of everything! Everything that had to get done, the timeline, all the vendors, the guests, us. From making sure everything was where it needed to be at the right time to helping drunk people to handing out party supplies! I can tell you they worked behind the scenes to make magic!! My wedding wouldn't have been anywhere close to what it was without Stephanie and her team. My husband and I partied all night and had the best day of our lives without a single worry! Thank you Stephanie!!

    So happy with SVE!

    Stephanie was along with me for the long haul during my 2-year-long engagement with so many twists and turns throughout the planning process. She dealt with my type A planning anxiety like the pro she is and calmed me down anytime I started feeling stressed. SVE provided the decor, florals, and day of event planning for my wedding on 10/15/22 and let me tell you, they went above and BEYOND to make this the most special day for us. Stephanie works hard and actually cares about her clients. She knows what she’s doing and she captured my vision without me even fully understanding it myself (haha). I was blown away by how beautiful the reception space and bouquet were even though we had discussed it several times. Stephanie kept everything on track the day of the wedding and any little minor thing that went wrong was taken care of quickly and quietly so I didn’t have to stress. One example is that I forgot to assign someone to pick up our cake. Stephanie saw my custom cake topper and realized we must have had a cake that never made it to the venue. One of her teammates, Morgan, was able to run to Publix to pick it up for us and the dessert table was just stunning - no one would have ever known about my huge oversight. I could just go on and on about how happy I am with SVE, but I’ll wrap it up and just say, don’t hesitate to hire them! If you’re type A like me but also have no eye for design and can’t see the big picture, just go with SVE and trust that they know what they’re doing and will execute everything you don’t know how to do beautifully and with love. 10/10 recommend!!!

    Obsessed with my florals and Stephanie

    Stephanie was the easiest vendor to work with, and I am so obsessed with how my tropical florals turned out!!!! From the bouquets, to the boutonnières, to the gazebo and the centerpieces, she brought my vision to life and it was always a pleasure speaking with her!

    Great work

    As mother of the bride, I can’t say enough about Stephanie Voth Events! We had such a wonderful experience with Stephanie, she was kind, professional, attentive answering back to our emails and calls. Stephanie made the whole process in planning the wedding so much easier for my daughter and I, from the vendors she recommend to every small detail. Stephanie was there to direct the rehearsal and on the wedding day she and her team were the first to arrive at the venue and were the last to leave making sure everything was done and looked beautiful! I did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding.

    Stephanie Voth is the best!

    Besides choosing my wedding venue, choosing Stephanie Voth for my wedding planner was the best decision I made! She is simply the best. Stephanie was a God-send from day 1. From the first meeting, she took away my stress of planning everything myself and created a timeline for me, and even offered decorations that I didn't have yet. She was super responsive, had awesome suggestions and recommendations for me as well. Having Stephanie as my coordinator felt like having a trusted family member on my team. She is so thoughtful, and the super sweet and personal touches she added (like taking a moment to pray with me on my wedding day) helped make my wedding day so special and perfect! Tampa brides, do yourself a favor and hire her for your wedding coordinator.

    Calm to Our Storm

    Stephanie went above & beyond our expectations for our wedding and we are forever thankful for her. From the moment you have your first consultation, Stephanie really makes you feel like family, and totally captures your vision! She not only put together our beautiful floral decor for the ceremony/reception, but she showed up early/stayed late and met with us personally as much as we needed, and was doing the most at all times. In a time of chaos, she brought calm and reassurance at all times, She made us feel like we were in great hands through the whole planning process. Forever thankful for her!

    Best All-Inclusive Planner!

    Stephanie and her team do EVERYTHING for you! Not only is she helping us plan the wedding by helping us review and negotiate contracts with vendors, but she is providing the decor, helped with dress shopping, and even using her talents to do our flowers at cost! Stephanie has been there every step of the way and I am sure our day is in good hands. Looking forward to just enjoying this magical day we’ve planned together!

    Mother of the Bride

    With my daughter’s wedding falling right at the peak of the Coronavirus, we were forced to postpone her dream wedding and scramble to coordinate an intimate ceremony in only 2 days. I called Stephanie with Stephanie Voth Events and explained the situation. Not only was she so empathetic to my daughter’s situation, but she sprung into action...creating the most beautiful bridal bouquet, groom’s flower, and backdrop spray I have ever seen. She went out of her way to find my daughter’s favorite flowers (pink peonies) and delivered them on time. I am forever grateful that she helped salvage my daughter’s wedding!!!!

    Stephanie Voth Events's reply:

    It was such an honor to do this for you guys!! I love Lindsay and the cross her grandfather built was beautiful! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!!❤️

    AMAZING Coordinator & Florist! Best Decision to Hire Stephanie!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Stephanie! Hiring Stephanie was literally the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. She was our day of coordinator and florals provider and she truly made our vision come to life. Stephanie was great to work with from start to finish; she made us feel extremely comfortable with her, asked detailed questions to make sure she understood exactly what we were envisioning, and kept in contact throughout the entire process. She walked us through the entire wedding and reception process and was there every step of the way. If it weren’t for Stephanie our wedding would have been extremely stressful but because she was there and was so on top of everything it went off without a hitch (that we knew of at least!)! She provided our “missing pieces” décor which really made our reception and ceremony come together to create the beautiful setting we were envisioning. Stephanie really stepped up to not only make sure the florals were great and the décor was set up and taken down but she even sat with kids and entertained them while the sitter got food and ensured the overly inebriated sat down and stopped making a scene without us even knowing it happened! She was absolutely amazing and we would 100% recommend her for any and all of her services!

    Best wedding planner ever.

    I’m so happy I hired Stephanie as our wedding planner. She went over and beyond for me. Our wedding could not of went any smoother and was more beautiful than I could ever imagine. She helped me fine the Best DJ and photographer ever at a great cost. She also was our florist. She was amazing.

    Amazing results for amazing price!

    I have to say that Stephanie was amazing! Before I even got to see my beautiful flowers she has done so much. Our initial meeting was very informative, helpful and easy to schedule. From great communication to very reasonable price things got only better! As you have so much going on she was always responsive, supportive and positive. She does not just flowers but full event coordination. Only now I understand how lucky I was to have her because she knew how to calm me down, what we will need over all etc. I will be forever grateful when she called me just to calm me down the morning of the wedding... Things were falling apart and all she said was that everything will be beautiful no matter what etc. Because of her I gained my hope back and it was simply amazing! Mostly because of her :) I would recommend her not just as your florist but also as a coordinator!

    The best wedding planner in the world!!!

    Stephanie and her team are the way to go for your wedding. Since day one she was able to take all my worries away and produce a beautiful vision with the budget that we had. Not only she was able to create an incredible wedding but she also did the most beautiful flower arrangements that anyone could imagine. All from the decorations, flowers and her team made our wedding so special and memorable! She manage to keep everything in order even though there was a hurricane coming and we had to work on a plan B. Which was the best decision we could have made. Also, her team helped out through the wedding and became part of the wedding with incredible dance moves. They were all lovely and kind and I wish I could have a second wedding so I can have them all again!! Incredible people and increíble team!

    My wedding was perfect!

    I loved working with Stephanie! When I first met with her I knew she would be perfect because she immediately started planning my wedding during the consultation instead of expecting me to do all the planning and research and pay a crazy amount of money. She did all the hard stuff and was extremely reasonable price wise.

    It was such a relief because I am very indecisive and I had no idea where to start and she helped me figure everything out. I trusted her and every one of my vendors was perfect! She was great about sticking to the budget. She helped us figure out what was reasonable and broke everything down so we could see where our money was going. My wedding was perfect and I highly recommend Stephanie Voth! She will definitely take care of you.

    Absolutely amazing

    Stephanie and her team just recently did my wedding this last Saturday! Let me tell you she made my day absolutely perfect! From the decorations to the coordinating she didn’t disappoint me. Now I’m no walk in the park and I’m very picky and have the worst OCD when it comes to things but I also did not ever worry. I put all my trust in her and she exceeded my expectations. the ballroom was beautiful the bouquets were beautiful and the Decour was amazing. I’m a make up artist in this industry so I will definitely be sure to recommend her to any of my brides, she is a must have for your wedding day💕

    Everything was Perfect!

    Stephanie really knows what she is doing! She listened to us ramble on in text, emails, phone calls, and in person meetings and brought our vision to life! I can honestly say, I have no idea what we would have done with out her. And on top of all that she also helped save us a ton of money through all of the connections she had!

    Stephanie made our dreams come true! We had a minimal budget and wanted to keep things simple.she worked with us throughout the whole planning process and made sure I’d thought of everything. Our venue was a beautiful garden that she had not yet planned a wedding in, but she made sure every aspect of the day went flawlessly! Even after I showed up an hour late. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Stephanie!

    Stephanie is fantastic! She goes over and above to insure all your dreams and visions come to life! I found her on facebook and ever since our first meeting she has felt like family! She answers the phone at any time and would give the frame off of her wall (if it matched your decor vision lol) without hesitation! She has tons of decor inventory for you to pick from and she even does floral arrangements! I was a very hands on bride and very detailed. Her and Ginger both worked with me every step of the way and were delightful! If you are second guessing yourselves about hiring a day of coordinator for your wedding... stop right now! You will thank yourselves in the long run... Hire Stephanie and her crew! xoxoxo Chantel Michaels :-)

    Stephanie was the planner for our daughters wedding on Oct 13th 2017 and she was amazing. Everything was just awesome she is fabulous to work with. Our daughter had a vision for what she wanted the decorations at the venue to be and Stephanie made it all perfect. I would recommend her to anyone that is considering hiring a planner. She also did all of the bouquets for the girls in the ceremony and the arch florals as well as the florals for the reception. She helped decorate every part of the venue. She and her team went all out to make our daughters wedding day the most memorable day ever.

    Stephanie is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I hired her as a day of coordinator but she went way way above and beyond that. Any time I had a question or concern, I could call or text her and she would help me immediately. She had amazing ideas but also listened to what I wanted and executed everything flawlessly. I could not have done this without her. I highly highly recommend her. Worth every penny and more!!!

    Our wedding day was amazing!

    We booked our wedding at the St. Pete Lion's Club Beach House. Once we did that, I was completely stressed about decoration and coordinating, and my fiance and I were ALL over the place trying to pick vendors. Stephanie solved all of our worries! I had a general idea of what I wanted everything to look like, but I was not one of those brides that is super picky so I had a hard time describing what I wanted. Stephanie helped guide my thoughts and make everything come together better than I could have ever dreamed! She helped us find fantastic vendors that were basically a dream team. Our wedding was even officiated by her, and she had the idea to beautifully include my daughter in our ceremony to show her stepdad's commitment to her as well. Stephanie, we can't thank you enough for exceeding our expectations and making our day magical! Our families are still raving about it!!

    Stephanie has such an amazing personality. She’s kind, gracious and friendly. Stephanie was my florist and wedding coordinator. As a wedding coordinator, I thought things ran pretty smoothly throughout my wedding day. She was on time with the schedule I had written out to all the vendors and made sure everyone was where they needed to be that day.
    I can’t say the same thing about the ceremony flowers I ended up getting that day. I originally wanted a circular wedding arch filled with flowers for my ceremony. I even went as far as buying 1 1/2 bin full of silk flowers that cost me a little over $400.00. I wanted the arch filled with fresh greenery and the silk flowers added to make the arch look fuller. I remember being so excited when she told me she could do it. That was one of the main reasons I went with her as my florist. However, that’s not what I got on my wedding day. I was very disappointed to say the least, I remember walking down the aisle and immediately noticing the arch wasn’t at all what we had discussed. The cocktail tables where supposed to have candles with petals on each table. Instead, she put different colored bottles on the table (never discussed that, not what i wanted). There were more detailed things that we discussed that were not done. Another example, I bought toiletry set for the ladies and guys bathroom that were not put out... overall,
    My wedding day was beautiful, I want to be able to forget about the decor details and focus on what was and is important, which is the union between my husband and I. I am grateful for everything and I am completely aware that sometimes things don’t always work out the way we want it. Stephanie is a wonderful person, and I’ve grown to like her a lot. This was the experience I had working with her!

    This is an unfortunate review. This bride contracted with me 6 months prior to her wedding. 4 months later cancelled because the caterer she hired offered coordinating for free. She then asked me to apply her non refundable deposit to flowers. I had bought a round arch specifically for her- so I agreed to continue on as just flowers. She Fires the caterer 10 days prior to her wedding day- and calls me FRANTIC! I completely bailed her out!! I got a fabulous caterer to meet her needs at the very last minute and assembled a team to coordinate and execute her wedding. She made her own centerpieces- which blew over all night because of the wind. Her arch was as full as we could get with what she provided- it was sooo windy and her left over silks had been cut so short it wouldn’t anchor in the greenery! For that matter we couldn’t anchor the arch in The ground - “ venue forbid it” we almost didn’t have an Arch due to how windy it was!!
    The cocktail centerpieces had to be redone because the flower pedals blew off she would have had Nothing! My team went ABOVE and beyond for this bride. Her day was beautiful and the food was excellent. Her Dj had gone MIA and I got him back on track and he showed up. Her bartenders that she hired had to be babysat all night- they took so many breaks and left their taps open where kids could get to it! There were so many things to talk about with this wedding but at the end of the night- her very own guests stopped me to thank me for a job well done! This was a DIY Bride that had lots of unrealistic expectations and last minute major changes. I didn’t offer her a refund which is why I’m certain I got the low score. Please read what other brides have to say and dismiss this one. Or better yet - Ask Pasta Chef how I did that night!! :)

    The only tac at the wedding

    Overall my wedding was unbelievable. Thanks to everyone except for Stephanie.

    Starting with our initial call, she promised the world but wrote something else in the contract then forgot about what is agreed upon. Communication with her goes flatline leading up to the wedding until I had to reach out multiple times. Once I got to visit her storage area which really does have everything you would need to fill up any wedding space, her true intentions came out. Stephanie was supposed to be my day of coordinator, officiant, and florist. She agreed to a broken arch with silks and real flowers. When my mother sister and I got to the meeting she completely denied knowing about a broken arch and kept trying to make her life easier by using a circle frame with a couple flowers. Luckily we had a few text messages referencing what I was looking for and what we discussed and in the notes of the contract it referenced silks and more along the lines of what we had initially talked about on our phone conversation. I ended up having to go with the hotel coordinator and increase my budget with her 2 times to get the greenery and florals I desired. If on the wedding day she had been professional at all and set up what was in our contract the previous months of manipulation would have been forgiven. Fast forward to the day of wedding Stephanie thought it was appropriate to make the executive decision as the florist and set up the ceremony and reception in a wedding space that was only to be used if there was extraordinary circumstances (thunder and lightning). The decision of where the ceremony and reception was to be held was mine and the hotels. Stephanie (as just the florist/officiant at this point) went as far as coming to my getting ready room while I was in hair and makeup get two feet from my face and start strong handing me into agreeing to her plan for her convenience. She pulled every card she could think of “the dj can’t set up in the rain” “the guests won’t enjoy themselves in the rain” mind you the ceremony started at 4:30 pm and the reception was held in the same area at 6pm there was not a drop of rain after noon. She choose not to begin setting up until 3:30 pm leading to her not having enough time to set up greenery on one of the pergolas that was a huge extra expense on my part, that extra greenery was then wasted and not put into anything else for the wedding. $250 down the drain. We had also agreed the broken arch would be a true broken arch, both sides at the top leaning towards each other, I got two poles with florals. Many guests came up to me throughout the wedding confused about why there was a short stick with flowers and a long stick with flowers I had to explain that it was supposed to be a broken arch but that it wasn’t executed correctly. While Stephanie was yelling at me in hair and makeup she was baffled by still having the reception outside, the weather report was 0% chance of rain from 5pm onward. It had always been the plan to have the entire wedding outside in the same space yet she as the florist thought it was appropriate to attempt to change the entire wedding. I cannot express enough how terrible she made me feel in that moment, then how disappointed I was with the decorations at the wedding. It was to the point once she left the area my hair and makeup team said to me I was making the right call and not to let her dictate anything. To speak of her lack of professionalism a little more she decided to make multiple passive aggressive comments as she officiated our wedding. She lacked any flexibility and was on a power trip throughout the whole day. We were supposed to have elevated center pieces which “due to wind” could not be placed on the table for reception, what I don’t understand is that she could have placed two on them on the ground in front of the sweetheart table or set up a table for the photographer to get the appropriate pictures then removed the one there was just ZERO attempt at meeting halfway on her part. The sweetheart table was supposed to have candles and florals on the ground in front of it, there was none. Yet the other large amount of greenery from the pergola was not used and could have been placed there. She was supposed to bring signs which were never put out so people had no idea where the guest book was. If I had not brought as many extra things as I did (chargers, flower wall, foam sticks, extra lights, menus, name cards ect…) the reception area would have been barren. Referencing back to the wind a little bit, the “broken arch” stood up all night without any issues and the flower wall was up without issues so the center pieces could have been on the tables for at least just dinner then removed with the plates. I would not be surprised if she comments back to this with excuse after excuse making me look like the villain like she had done with a previous brides review. These reviews are here as a reflection of her work and her execution of her job on the wedding day, she failed at my wedding in every way.

    If you are thinking of hiring her or have hired her my only advice would be to record every phone conversation with her so she cannot deny deny deny like she has with me and so many in the past.
