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!

If you are on the fence about whether or not to hire a wedding planner, JUST DO IT! It's worth…read moreevery cent. We had a great handle on all the details of our wedding as we hired our own vendors a year in advance, but in the end, we really needed a planner who could help us pull everything together in the final days when we needed to focus on other things. Debbie and Laurie, owners of Core Concepts, did an amazing job. We hired them to help us coordinate all the details in the final 30 days leading up to our special day. You can trust that they will be in regular communication during the time that you contract to work with them - they will deliver! All of the details came together perfectly - from the beautiful flowers in our requested colors (white, purple and blue) and table seatings, coordinating with our other vendors and keeping everything on time during the day, to the signage and programs and pipe and drape and uplighting and Gobo OH MY. The setting was just perfect - Core Concepts truly helped transformed the space (which was drab) to make it feel elegant and created an atmosphere that made the entire evening feel special to us and our guests. They were hustling until the very end to ensure all the details were taken care of. They also went the extra mile and delivered our flowers after the wedding festivities to the venue where we were hosting a brunch the next morning -- and that was after a really long day of set up and breakdown. That extra touch was a huge help, and we were very appreciative. So many of our guests told us, with sincerity, that it was the best (and most magical) wedding they have ever attended (!!!), and that was thanks in no small part to the Core Concepts team. We are thrilled. They worked hard to help bring our vision to life and for helping us kick off our next adventure as a married couple. :)

We shouldn't have hesitated for a minute! The help we got from Rachel and Core Events was THE best money we spent for anything in the wedding planning. We met with Rachel a couple times and reviewed our plans for the day. She was AMAZING - helping smooth out final details at the rehearsal, checking our sound system/music selections, and providing suggestions for different ways to handle the various traditional elements. The day of, while my mother and I had our hair and makeup done, she checked in at the reception venue and ensured the cake and flowers were delivered and set up properly and the banquet room was set up according to our specs. She also placed our favors, guest book, and other little personal touches we wanted at the reception. That sorted, she booked it over to our ceremony location and helped distribute programs, herded family members and the wedding party here and there so the photographer could get as many pre-wedding family pics as possible. While we stayed behind for photos, she headed to the reception and helped get our guests started on nibbles and cocktails, even cueing our playlist for each part of the reception. Once we arrived, she announced our arrival and got our first dance music going. All this on a day she wasn't feeling too great! We are SO grateful to have had the help of someone so professional, organized, and reliable. Her help let us just relaxed, visit with family, and enjoy the day rather than running around and checking on vendors, set up and details. I cannot recommend Core Events highly enough to anyone planning a wedding or large scale event where you'd actually like to be able to enjoy the event and your guests.

They ensured…read morefrom the VERY beginning that we saw forth with our vision for our intimate wedding and everything we wanted for our nuptials. Ms. Amber took so much stress off of our hands when it came to planning, it was no joke! The packages offered by this company caters to EVERY detail of getting married and the wedding aspect. Ms. Amber made sure that although we were doing a destination wedding, we were in great hands on every aspect! Ms. Amber is literally super woman and the best planner of all time! She was real with us when she needed to be (especially about our budget, our interesting families, and being on time), had our back when only TWO people, besides our parents, showed up to rehearsal, and was there for every phone call, moment of freaking out, both of our questions.concerns, Type-A personalities, text messages, and wedding planning meeting. She was so detail oriented to the point of mapping out every detail of what we wanted and seeing those ideals come forth to fruition was breath taking! She even ended up being our officiant, and we could not ask for any other person so lead us into marriage..Even down to my makeup and hair artist...she picked the perfect artist just for me and she made me look like a sea goddess!! We were able to have our dream beach ceremony, our dream reception venue, and everything else in between because of this company and we are so thankful! Because of working with Amber, we were at peace most of planning and had nothing to worry about! Even down to the day when we were doing the final clarification of ceremony music, I literally SANG music and Amber was right there talking me through the names because I was stressing and could not remember the artists. We will definitely be seeing Simple Beach Weddings for renewing our vows in a few years as well. If you are looking for a company that cares about you, knows the area, caters to you and your partner exclusively, and just overall is just an awesome company that takes care of everything you need for your marriage and wedding. Simple Weddings is the company to go with!!!! Thank you so much to Ms. Amber, Mr. Anthony, and the whole Simple Weddings team for making our dream come true! We are still on cloud 9 about how marvelous this whole experience was! If you are planning a beach wedding, destination wedding, basically ANY form of wedding, DO NOT go to any other company besides Simple Weddings, and be sure to have Ms. Amber take care of you! They are darn good at their job!!!!! We LOVE SIMPLE WEDDINGS!! Musically Yours, Fabian & Ashley Moore from Atlanta, GA

Even though notary at my attorney couldn't do it because of family commitments. Charmaine (founder of "A Notary On The Go") was very helpful, and we quickly agreed on a time for her to come to my condo on July 4. On Saturday July 4, she showed up exactly at the agreed upon time, signed the marriage certificate, and provided heartfelt, beautiful ceremonial vows. The price was a rather steep at $150, and thus I couldn't give a 5 star review. I was glad to find someone to do the ceremony on such short notice and thus had to give 4 stars.

We decided to get married very quickly after our engagement (only a few months) which has the potential of being extremely stressful and overwhelming. After enlisting the help of Jimmy and Julee we felt at ease with their sweet, calming personalities and confidence. Everything went incredibly smooth and we felt we were in great hands every step of the way. They completely set themselves apart from other companies due to the passion and heart that they put into ensuring your day is all you hoped and more. For example, I was blown away by our bridal party's flowers - they definitely were beyond my expectations. I showed Jimmy a screenshot of a bouquet that I loved and described a few small tweaks that I preferred, but also told him that nothing had to be exact if the flowers were difficult to find in the area and time frame. He called me to tell me about what they had come up with, including outsourcing some lilies, and assured me they were going to be great. Well, indeed they were! They were so incredibly similar to the picture and even better than I imagined. They continued to add so much color and vibrancy to our pictures throughout the night. They also had a wide variety of decor options that allowed us to personalize our setup (without the upgrade prices on every little thing like other companies we looked into). Everything was beautifully executed, but perhaps, one of my favorite parts of my wedding day experience with them was a message I received while getting my hair and makeup done (which was a bit behind in schedule - aka I was stressing). It was a picture of our setup with some comforting words to calm me - even while typing this it warms my heart remembering how it made me feel in that moment. It is the little things sometimes that make the biggest difference. I highly recommend them to all future bride and grooms!
