This thing was nestled among murals and gussied up with signs and plants, chairs, rugs and tables. It was topped with a giant masked mermaid with blue hair. Of course my kids had to check it out. Womp, womp. Such a cool display to promote something as unkid friendly as wine. Surely my kids would walk away that day jilted. Not so fast. Wine on Wheels does lots of beverages. It just so happens that on this fine Saturday hot chocolate was on the menu *insert cheers here*. The owner of the stand, Melody Maria, really knew how to serve customers. She talked to my two kids about their day, what they were doing in the area and the decorations. When my son realized he didn't like hot chocolate (this was his first time) she gave him extra whipped cream (which he liked) and a free bottle of water. My daughter and wife both loved their chocolatey drinks. They were rich, smooth, adorned with peppermint and topped with whipped cream. She asked about lids and straws, and basically served up an amazing experience. That's what Melody and Wine on Wheels is all about. The whole purpose of her business is to travel to customers and make their shindigs/parties/weddings/tailgates/corporate events special and memorable. I can say with 100 percent certainty, she made that random Saturday in November, a special experience for my kids (and wife). They would definitely return to Wine on Wheels again.

My ex-fiance August 2019, the wedding was canceled. I called Michael to advise him of the unseen and unfortunate events. I fully understood that he would keep 1/2 of the money I paid him because that is in the contract. He told me he could only refund the money if there were another booking. I never heard from him and he took advantage of a horrible situation. I should have written this review back in 2019, but I was in too much distress. I am writing the review since Michael at Viegas Photography was recommended to a colleague, which reminded of my situation and prompted me to write the review. I am not disputing that his work is professional, and that is evident from the other reviews and pictures. However, he should have done the right thing and, in good faith, refunded everything but the deposit. That is just greedy. The story's moral is that no good deed goes unpunished. If you hire Michael, only pay the deposit in case you have a misfortunate event like myself. Also, he will dispute this, but I have all the documentation to prove my review is legit.

From the beginning, Mike was helpful and friendly, choosing a location for me since I wasn't familiar with the area. He made arrangements for me to see the location and give my final approval, and was willing to accommodate me if I didn't like his choice (but he chose a beautiful spot). He even made suggestions for the best time of day to have the ceremony to capture the most colorful pictures. Not only was his service fantastic and his much-needed help perfectly in line with what we wanted, but his prices were also reasonable and very competitive with others in the area. We feel that we received a great deal for the quality service we received. Mike and Tina were kind, professional, and eager to help. I would highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Shannon Crona Wilson and Table 6 Productions! Soon after my fiancé proposed to…read moreme, I reached out to Shannon to discuss hiring her to be our wedding planner. I'll admit that planning a wedding is out of my league. Additionally, I work part-time and I'm studying to be a psychiatrist. My husband is a biological scientist and conservation planner, which requires him to frequently travel. Not only did we not have any idea where or how to begin planning a wedding, but we also both have very little free time. From our first interaction with Shannon, we were extremely impressed. In fact, our first interaction with Shannon was on a Friday night since that was the only time that our schedules allowed us to talk with her. Throughout the nine months that we worked with her to plan our wedding, Shannon always communicated with us when it was most convenient for us - including nights, weekends, and even holidays. Because we live in Tallahassee, FL - the location of our wedding - and Table 6 Productions is located in St Petersburg, FL, Shannon communicated with us by phone and email. Shannon worked with every vendor involved in our wedding, which included negotiating and securing contracts with them. Although Shannon was working outside of the area of our wedding venue, the planning process was seamless. Shannon listened to our ideas for our wedding, and she then turned our dreams into reality. We have no idea if Shannon was working with other couples during the time that she was planning our wedding, as she never mentioned it. Shannon gave my husband and I VIP treatment, making us both feel like royalty. Since wedding planning is about your big day, why wouldn't you want to feel like you are the most important couple in the world? We set an original budget, which Shannon strived hard to adhere to. We did exceed it, but that was only by our choice. Shannon was very conscientious with regards to our budget, and she made recommendations about rentals and other aspects of our wedding that were not necessary in an attempt to stay within our original budget. Again, we only went over our original budget by choosing to have specific elements in our wedding that were not originally discussed with Shannon. Three months prior to our wedding date, Shannon made a trip to Tallahassee, FL to meet with all of our vendors, my husband, and myself. Several of our vendors mentioned to us that they were impressed that Shannon came to meet with them in person, as that is rare for other wedding planners that they've worked with - including ones who live in our area. In fact, all of our vendors and everyone involved in our wedding informed us how friendly Shannon was and what a pleasure she was to work with. Shannon's knowledge of the wedding industry, coupled with her attention to detail, allowed her to execute every aspect of planning our wedding with flawless precision and class. There is no possible way that our wedding would have come to fruition without Shannon's help. Over the course of planning our wedding with Shannon, we became so close that we consider her more than our wedding planner - she is valued as a member of our family. We utilized Shannon and Table 6 Productions for full-service wedding planning, which was the best decision we've ever made. On the day of our wedding, we enjoyed relaxing and spending time with our friends and family. The only thing that we had to do on our wedding day was show up to our venue and marry one another. Shannon coordinated every aspect of setting up for our wedding with our vendors, as well as the clean-up that took place afterwards. Several of our friends and family members who attended our wedding later mentioned to us that they wish Shannon was their wedding planner when they were married. They added that they had never seen a wedding flow as smoothly as ours did. To say that my husband and I are pleased with the service we received from Shannon and Table 6 Productions would be an understatement. Shannon exceeded our expectations and created the most memorable experience of our lives. We are forever thankful!

I could not be happier with my wedding day and I owe it all to Shannon Wilson!…read moreAn experienced and well connected wedding planner can make your money go a long way. She helped me stay on budget without having to make any sacrifices. She was so easy to communicate with-It was like having your most competent girlfriend (the one that also happens to have all the connections) laser focused on bringing your dreams to reality. She helped me sort through the countless vendors and matched me perfectly with each one based both on personalities and expectations. Shannon kept all the contracts together, reminded me of due dates for payments, and coordinated timelines with all the vendors. My husband and I got to sit back and enjoy the planning process, because we knew we had a professional to steer us in the right direction. Each taste testing or mock up was like a fun date that only brought us closer as a couple. Shannon helped ensure that everything was to my taste and I thoroughly enjoyed one of the most memorable days of my life. I don't know what I would have done without you Shannon!

My experience with Affairs in the Air (AFA) was a nightmare from start to finish. The owner,…read moreCarolynn, was one of the most unprofessional individuals I've ever dealt with. This review reflects my experience with this vendor, and you better believe I'm coming to the table with receipts. We rented Selby Gardens' South Lawn for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the North Lawn Ballroom for our reception. Since AFA is the exclusive lighting and décor vendor for Selby Gardens, we had no choice but to hire her. Unfortunately, this exclusivity left us at her mercy, and it quickly became clear that her priority was keeping our money--not providing service. Selby informed us 23 days before our wedding that, due to storm damage, the South Lawn was inaccessible. They offered us a partial refund if we moved our wedding to the North Lawn, which was also severely storm-damaged but still "operational." We declined, as it was beat up, and we were only planning to use the indoor ballroom. Selby ultimately refunded us in full due to the circumstances. We found a new venue 10 minutes down the road that allowed us to keep our date. The new venue recognized AFA and said Carolynn had worked there before, so we were thrilled! But when we proposed relocating and renegotiating her services, she flat-out refused, claiming that she didn't have insurance for the venue--a requirement never mentioned in our original contract. Despite a clear Force Majeure clause in AFA's contract, Carolynn insisted we weren't entitled to an adjustment or refund. Her reasoning? Selby was still hosting weddings on the salt-burned, leaf-bare North Lawn--even though our contracted space, the South Lawn, was deemed unsafe and unusable by Selby! Our AFA contract states: "If renegotiated, a full credit of your retainer will be applied to the new and updated contract. If your event is rescheduled due to a conflict on your part, we will only be able to accommodate you if the new date is available on our calendar." We kept the same date and time, and she was available. This wasn't a conflict on our part--it was Force Majeure. Up until her refusal to cooperate, we never asked for a refund; we simply wanted her to fulfill the contract. We even offered to pay for her insurance to retain her services and were happy to renegotiate the contract for any upcharges or changes. Instead of collaborating, Carolynn doubled down on her dismissive and rude behavior. Her communication was curt, unprofessional, and often grammatically incomprehensible. When it became clear she was going to deny service and keep all our money (we paid in full), we involved a lawyer. Carolynn suddenly offered us half of our deposit back if we signed an agreement not to leave a bad review. I obviously didn't sign that or accept the offensively low offer because she DID NO WORK. Carolynn's behavior was appalling. She showed zero regard for the contract, her professional obligations, or the difficult situation we were navigating. Every other vendor adapted with grace and compassion. AFA, on the other hand, was unethical, uncooperative, and showed no respect for their clients. I urge Selby Gardens to reconsider its exclusivity with this company. Even Selby staff warned me about how unpleasant Carolynn is. Brides should not be forced to work with such a difficult vendor. Brides and grooms, my advice is to avoid Affairs in the Air at all costs. Never pay a vendor in full until services are rendered, and always buy event insurance. Wedding planning is stressful enough without dealing with someone who disregards contracts, customer service, and basic human decency.

After seeing the underside of many tents, I knew I wanted something more elegant for our wedding, however, I was surprised to learn how much drapery and lighting typically costs! After shopping around, it was clear that Affairs in the Air had the most professional-looking drapery for the most reasonable prices. They were very communicative and helpful. I provided a photo of the style I was looking for, and AITA was able to provide photos of their own work that was very similar. In the end, our tent was so beautiful and absolutely surreal - and worth every last penny. We received so many compliments on it, and it really transformed the entire space. I'm so glad that we worked AITA into our limited budget. AITA also did a great job working with us and our tent vendor, U.S. Tent, to determine a timeline for setup and teardown. They arrived on time and had the drapery installed and also removed by the designated times. Thank you, Affairs in the Air, for making our wedding space so beautiful!
