I will begin by saying that our wedding was nothing short of a fairy tale. Although we found the…read moreperfect venue which happened to be on a beach, I still wanted a glamorous semi-formal Disney Princess-type of wedding. We live on the East coast of FL so having a wedding in Bradenton Beach was a destination wedding for us and although I had accomplished some things on my own, I knew I would need more help. I described what type of wedding I was imagining to our venue wedding coordinator and he pointed me to Priscila of My Storybook Party. I spoke to Priscila and the rest was history. She listens so well, is extremely organized, has many fantastic ideas, is kind, and truly cares about her brides (and grooms!). I don't know what I would have done without her. We traveled out to Sarasota at least 3 different times in the months leading up to the wedding and she would always coordinate appointments and meet or even drive us around the entire weekend. Yes, you read that right - she was with us the ENTIRE weekend from early in the morning until it got dark and that's in addition to spending hours with me on the phone. On to hair and makeup. Some would call me 'high maintenance' but hey, I know what I like. I have long curly hair that I'm used to spending 2-3hours washing, straightening then curling myself on an almost daily basis. I am also accustomed to spending around an hour doing my own makeup so a VERY good makeup and hair stylist were important to me and Priscila understood that. She found a lady that had at least like 15 years of experience in the wedding hair industry and booked me a trial. Initially, I thought I wanted a loose waterfall braid with hair teased at the top so the stylist tried, but she completely rushed through my trial and my hair ended up a frizzy mess. She said she would "practice" the braid since she was rusty and be better on my wedding day. Priscila paid attention, reassured me that I shouldn't just "go with" the stylist and that she would find someone for me because she wanted me to be confident that my hair would be perfect. She spent the next few months - YES MONTHS - searching for the perfect stylist. She called me to tell me she had found the perfect guy for the job and we made another appointment just a few months before my wedding. I sat in his chair and knew he was THE ONE that I could trust with my hair on our wedding day. We booked him and EVERYONE was impressed on our wedding day, but that's another review. Priscila also recommended a great makeup artist near our home on the East Coast that we ended up paying to come across the state for the day of our wedding. Décor - Priscila went out of her way to find rental companies for everything My Storybook Party did not have for rent. She tracked down so much - linens, tables, gold wood chivalry chairs (that would work on the beach), bling chandeliers, a tall chuppah, beaded chuppah curtains, tents, twinkle lights, and plate chargers. She also made sure to work with our venue coordinator to ensure we could get exactly what we wanted despite regulations/preferred vendor requirements/etc. Centerpieces - I looked everywhere and was on Pinterest for days looking for centerpiece ideas. I did not want the typical centerpiece with flowers and FINALLY found the bling pieces I had been looking for. Instead of renting I just bought everything I thought we needed, but we were short two big pieces due to last minute cancellations. Priscila spent hours going over options with me and taking pictures of how each table should be arranged. She also tracked down the last two pieces we needed - beautiful big bling candelabras that matched our other décor. She and her assistants set up the tables for us and broke them down immediately after the wedding. All of our pieces were neatly wrapped and packed in boxes and ready to travel. Every single piece I had was accounted for and unbroken. Day of - Priscila and her assistants ran around all day making sure everything was accounted for and in the right place. She also kept popping to check on me and ensure I was doing okay and everything was on schedule. She kept to a schedule and had every detail accounted for, down to the flip flop stations strategically placed for our guests to take their heels of if they didn't realize we'd be on the beach. The "extra" décor pieces we brought were placed around our reception area beautifully by Priscila. We had orchid strands on each chair on the aisle - she took them down and arranged the orchids around our beautiful cake after the ceremony. Did I mention our cake was just featured on Grace Ormonde Wedding Style? If you're planning a party big or small, call Priscila. She and her team will be right by your side every step of the way and ensure that you're 100% pleased with every single detail, whether you want to be as involved as I was in the process or if you trust her to run with everything. Our wedding was a dream come true & if you call her, yours will be too.

I hired Priscila from My StoryBook Party as a "month of" coordinator for my daughter's destination…read morewedding at the Crosley Estate in Sarasota, FL. What initially attracted me to Priscila was her calm presence and soft-spoken voice. I was primarily looking to hire someone to keep my daughter relaxed prior to the ceremony, as we have a handful of family members who can be quite stress invoking! What I soon found was that I had hired so much more than a "bride-sitter" and "stress guard". Priscila is focused and driven. She truly knows the wedding business inside and out. I found that she could be firm and authoritative when necessary. While gentle in demeanor, she's no pushover! Priscila was quick to reply to phone calls, email, and text messages. She is full of interesting suggestions - things I never would have thought of. She referred us to several local vendors, who were not only professional, but I found to be very reasonably priced. She gladly intervened with a couple of issues that cropped up last minute, keeping the stress from my daughter. She coordinated with all of our other vendors, and created a master timeline for the entire wedding day. We were able to drop off all of our wedding items with Priscila in Sarasota a week prior to the wedding; so we didn't have to run anything to the venue on the day of. She and her team set up all of our wedding décor for us, and had all of it repacked and in our cars by the time the reception was over. Priscila truly understands that a wedding day is so much more than "just another day". With the timeline in place, there were no worries for any of the bridal party on the day of the wedding. Everyone was notified where they needed to be and at what time, and from there, Priscila and her assistants took over. Our only job on the day of the wedding was to be present. My daughter's wedding day was seamless, allowing everyone to focus on what was truly important - FAMILY! I would only do one thing differently if I had to do it over. I'd hire Priscila to handle to entire affair, instead of just the "month of" coordinating. I now understand that the money that you spend on the right wedding coordinator actually saves you so much in the long run! Thank you, Priscila Radke-Neves and My StoryBook Party! You were a breath of fresh air and felt like family by the time the wedding rolled around. You were a joy to work with!

It wasn't great but it wasn't bad once I applied the honey-mustard. There's water on almost every hole here so if you're not ALWAYS a straight shooter, bring extra balls. I give this place 4 stars because it's slightly-better-than-average course. It's priced well (went out for 18 at $27), the course is fairly well kept, the greens are nice but not perfect, and the carts are kept well. My main complaint would be the huge wait / hold-up around the 12th/13th hole. It was so bad that there was about a 10/15 minute wait at each hole. Given that my group went out at 2:20 and started getting held up around 5, we decided to leave and not finish. Big disappointment.

The layout is nice, and the greens were in good shape. however everything else seems to be a bit run down. There was a lot of clover and other invasive grasses on the fairways and the t-boxes could also use some work. Although the carts functioned well, they were in a bit of disrepair with seat damage or other defects. There was also a shower in the run down locker room, but questionable if I would use it. Although the price here (like the also 'tired' Kissimmee Country Club next door) makes these courses very affordable, the conditions show it. It's really too bad.
