It was also my first time to Sarasota and with the pandemic happening it was difficult to explore on our own. Then comes Sarasota Concierge Services! Norm came over to the house, with a bartender, and made us an incredible seafood dinner. (He also did all the meal shopping and cleanup) Some of the best fish I've ever had. He also lined up a masseuse to come over to the house one afternoon and made us a great outdoor dining reservation at a local restaurant. Sarasota Concierge Services also provided airport transportation for a few in the group that needed those services. Don't waste your precious vacation time trying to figure out the lay of the land - just call Norm at Sarasota Concierge Services! 941-349-4063.

Chuck was the musician and DJ for our magical wedding in Anna Maria Island, Florida. We met him by…read moreway of his wife, Dara, who was our photographer. He frequently performs at different restaurants on Anna Maria and is a talented singer, guitarist and piano player. For our day, he performed acoustic guitar, and DJ'd the reception. He was so wonderful to work with, especially considering we made all the plans from Chicago. I sent him a list of about 50 songs we really wanted to hear that night. He had practically all of them, and those he didn't he acquired. Being the pre-wedding ditz I was, my hubby and I hadn't picked our "first dance" yet. We had narrowed it down to five songs. Oops. Chuck called me the day before, totally cool, and before I caught on, he had made the choice for us! (Sneaky.) He told me how much he loved the song, and how perfect it would be. Wow did he call it. It was truly the most amazing moment of both our lives. We still slow dance to this day to TV Carpio doing the sweetest rendition of "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Chuck choreographed the whole night into an unforgettable experience that no one will soon forget.

He made an appetizer that was one of the best I have ever had, and I am a major foodie that is always going to high end steakhouses and restaurants. If you have him cook for you, the Focaccia bread with goat cheese, roasted garlic, and hot honey is a MUST. He also provided our group with a 4th pasta dish when we only ordered 3, and they were all so so good! His pear pasta with gorgonzola creme sauce is one of the best pastas I have ever had.

Dara Caudill, the photographer and owner of Island Photography, photographed my wedding. It was the…read moreaspect of my wedding I was most nervous about; I'm not a fan of having my picture taken. I usually look and feel awkward, and it's not just me being weird, people have told me I look weird in pictures! My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in our favorite place on Earth, Anna Maria Island, Florida. In doing so, most was planned online from Chicago. I found Dara's website, and in turn her husband's website (he's a local musician on the island.) They are frequently working weddings together, she as the photographer, he as the DJ or live musician. It just could not have been a better fit for our wedding. Dara is so professional, yet still fun, efficient, but still relaxed. By the end of the planning, and that magical night, it truly felt like we had two more friends at our wedding. Her work speaks for itself; when looking at the other weddings on her site (hundreds!) she really captures what each individual couple is looking for. Formal, silly, romantic, just plain beachy! I've never felt more beautiful, and she made it ok for me to feel that way. And now I have those images forever. I'd love to make it a tradition of hiring her for big moments in our lives from now on.

She has tons of energy yet she is pretty laid back and has a real "go-with-the-flow" attitude. I'm not a big fan of the camera in general so I was a little worried about feeling like being at a photo shoot on our wedding day, but she made us feel incredibly comfortable that day. She responds promptly to emails and is very professional, and kind. I highly recommend Island Photography as a vendor for your wedding day!

He has always been friendly, reliable, flexible, and had great music and great equipment so when we got engaged we immediately asked him if we could reserve him to DJ our wedding. We got married 3/23/2019 in Dade City and he did the music for our ceremony as well as our reception (both outdoors). Everything went flawlessly and he legitimately kept the dance floor packed the entire night, which was exactly what we had hoped for. DJ Fresh was our Emcee and he was equally as amazing. The two worked very well together as well as with our other vendors. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a DJ for any sort of event and will definitely ask him to DJ at our future parties. We are so glad he's staying local for college and can't believe he's only 17! Thanks, DJ Jake!
