I was a bridesmaid in a wedding coordinated by Maria at Center of Attention, and I was absolutely…read morefloored by how incredibly smooth she made the day for us. That experience solidified, in my eyes, the value of the service she provides. Wedding Day is wonderful but it RARELY comes without its own set of last minute headaches... and Maria was there to handle it all! From flower mishaps, to family matters, Maria's decisiveness and commitment to a stress-free day for the bride and groom made us all feel so thankful she was there to take care of business! I was so impressed by her level of professionalism, by her organization skills, and just how she seemed to be in all places at the same time! She coordinated all the vendors, put everything (and everyone) in place, decorated, managed the wedding party, kept everything running on time, did some serious on-the-spot trouble shooting, and I was just like WOW! As a soon-to-be bride myself, I immediately saw the tremendous value in having her there. In fact, I was so impressed that I hired her to be the Day of Coordinator for my own wedding! I was originally planning to do it all myself with a little help from my friends. But after seeing first hand how even the most impeccably planned wedding could have some last minute issues, and how there is SO MUCH coordinating that happens the day of, I knew right then and there that my delusion of not needing a Day Of Coordinator was only going to set me up for a stressful wedding day. And let's face it, no one wants that. The happy couple wants to be just that- HAPPY- on their wedding day. And in order for that to happen, you need someone competent in wedding stuffs, that knows the business, to handle the things that are going to stress you out. So, I'm choosing to let Maria handle all that so that, on our wedding day, the celebration of our love can be the center of attention!

Where do I start! Kindhearted, caring, organized, amazing, experienced, fierce and compassionate…read moreare just a few of the words that I can use to describe Maria Anderson at Center of Attention. She helped what we thought was a lost Covid cause for our dream wedding, and turn it into a day we will NEVER forget! She went above and beyond not only keeping me in the loop with my venue and all but checking in on me and seeing how I was doing as a bride in this stressful time and how my husband was doing! She is one of the most amazing people I have come to know and she will forever be our saving grace that made our dream day happen! I 1000% recommend her for your wedding needs! She goes above and beyond in all she does! If there were more than 5 stars, she'd get them!

The day of planning was smooth, and her staff were equally as wonderful. Big shout out to her wonderful photographer, assistants, and especially Toni, who was amazing getting everyone where they needed to be (and hiding me at a public, outdoor venue!) Absolute quality service, and I am happy to recommend Tides of Love to anyone planning a wedding in the areas served.

The beach is our happy place, so we wanted the backdrop of our Florida beaches in our photos. Everything is well-organized, thoughtful and love-filled. Angela is a real pro. During the photography session, I would look over my shoulder to see her kneeling on the sand to get the best shot. She encouraged our natural quirkiness for the photos and laughed with us as we made our vows to each other with joy and humor. Thank you, Angela for making this memorable day so easy and wonderful. We will be reminiscing over the high points for the rest of our lives.

This " Fish Tale" actually began 13 years ago…read more.... When my husband Stan & I met, we would joke around, and that led to my putting a gone fishing sign on my front door one evening when he came to pick me up for a scheduled date. "Gone Fishing" became our own private chuckle, and I even had it engraved inside his wedding band along with our wedding date. Flash forward 13 years later..... April 2013. We were planning an August trip to Florida, & I realized we would be there on August 10th - our anniversary, which also happened to fall on a Saturday this year. One thing led to another... & soon we were planning an anniversary vow renewal, beachside, of course. This is where Kissing Fish Weddings comes in..... While searching on the internet for someone to perform our renewal ceremony, I came across the most charming website. It tells the story of Linda & Bill Lyford, who married underwater. An adorable picture of them in full scuba gear accompanies the tale. Add in the fact that their business is aptly named Kissing Fish, and it did not take long for me to be hooked - pun intended. Flash forward 4 months later..... August 10th 2013. On a beautiful August evening, as daylight began to fade softly beyond the shore, we stood on perfectly named Honeymoon Island, and once again vowed our love for one another. We recited vows that were beautifully created by Linda. Her soothing voice reminded us of love shared & times spent, & wished us much joy & love on our continuing journey as man & wife. Bill documented our event with beautiful photos that captured all the colors of happiness we felt that evening. Mr. & Mrs. Lyford are as charming, funny & wonderful, as I imagined them to be after reading their own personal love story. They also run Kissing Fish Weddings in a professional, reliable & caring manner. Whether you are looking to renew your love as we did, or planning on saying your vows for the very first time, they can create a very beautiful & memorable experience! As the old saying goes.... there are many fish in the sea.... but hooking the right one can sometimes knock you right out of the boat! When you do make that "perfect catch", Kissing Fish Weddings are the perfect people to call.
