Bernadette and John were AMAZING! They helped me plan my entire wedding remotely. I had a lot of grand ideas that Bernadette helped me realize, and she advised me when I had bad ideas (like things that would fly around the beach in the breeze or favors that would have been a waste of money). I was very anxious because we don't live in Key West and weren't able to travel down for tastings or trials. I was sent many options for table decor, transportation, hotel options for our guests, bands, DJ's, florists, hair and makeup artists and so much more! Bernadette gave me her insights and then I made my decision. She is an EXPERT on Key West weddings and found ways for us to save money on food, transportation, and hotels- so we were able to spend more money on our band and other little touches we wanted. Bernadette worked with our venue to make the cost per person lower for food, bargained to allow us to bring a bottle of sambucca (the venue wanted to charge a shot per guest), and hired two different trolley services so there were no wasted seats or costs. I also wanted to do a "signature drink" with prosecco and cotton candy, but the venue wanted to charge a ridiculous amount, so Bernadette and her team personally put some cotton candy on each glass of Champagne for the toasts. She truly went above and beyond to make our dreams come true within our budget! There were so many times I felt overwhelmed because I couldn't see anything for myself, and Bernadette would answer my call and reassure me that she had everything under control and tell me all the things she had going on behind the scenes to make our vision come true. We hired her husband, John, to be our photographer and having the two of them work together made the perfect team! Bernadette knew me and my style after spending a year planning together, so she was able to convey that to John and get some AWESOME shots! Bernadette was always on the ball and I felt like I was her only bride even though she had weddings and other events just about every weekend. Bernadette had done many many weddings at our ceremony and reception venues and gave me the best advice about set-up, transportation to and from the ceremony/reception, and table set-ups to withstand the ocean breeze. Every vendor I talked to (florist, hair and makeup, equipment, etc. ) all RAVED about Bernadette and said they love working with her because she's so organized and has done so many Key West weddings. I cannot recommend Bernadette and her team enough! Our wedding truly was the best day of our lives so far and it is largely in part to Bernadette and her expertise! read more

Would recommend hiring them without question... you won't regret it!!! I don't even know where to begin! The Family Affair team was honestly amazing! I was hesitant about a full service planner in the beginning only because we had quite a bit of the vendors already figured out on our own, but planning long distance I knew we needed it for so much more! Having Bernadette and Irisha to help all along with the timeline and details was so worth it, especially once hurricane Ian hit FL right before the weekend of our wedding and we had to postpone two months... I don't know what I would have done without their patience and help in getting things rebooked and reconfirmed. I definitely had a vision and might have been pretty specific on some of it but they were very receptive to what I wanted and took time to go through things with me; sometimes multiple times when I was being indecisive (sorry lol). In addition to the team leading up to our big day, Allison and Fernando were amazing for the day of. They showed up the evening before for our rehearsal and were so helpful in talking through how the day would go. Alison was a huge help in the morning getting things taken care of while we got ready, even down to having to secure a last minute change of plan for our cake cutting key lime pie... she arranged to have it picked up and taken to the venue without hesitation. They did a perfect job on the set up of both our beach ceremony and the design of the reception... from what I heard, Fernando spent extra time perfecting all the details too... they truly made our dream day come to life, it was better than I could have imagined! I definitely cried some happy tears when I walked in to see everything set up before guests arrived. Thank you doesn't even begin to explain how thankful I am for all that Family Affair did for our big day. I keep telling my husband I want to do it all over again; it was just amazing and it all happened way too quick!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! read more

I cannot recommend Family Affair enough! We had a destination wedding, so a wedding planner was needed. This team was more than we could have ever asked for. Usually, the bride and groom are VERY stressed with wedding plan; however, having Family Affair, we had no stress whatsoever. We met once in person during the wedding planning process; otherwise, everything was done through email/calls. They were able to carry out every one of my visions for my dream wedding perfectly. They were VERY easy to get ahold of and could answer all of my questions in a very timely manner. They not only carried out the perfect wedding, but also helped to arrange transportation and hotels for all 75 of our guests. They also helped to plan/schedule our events leading up to the wedding (welcome party and rehearsal dinner with bar and catering). Being so far away it is hard to know about all of the different vendors; family affair arranged ALL of our vendors who were FABULOUS. We exchanged visions/pictures back and forth (for things such as cake, flowers, decor, etc) and family affair took it from there. From our photography, to food, to cake/dessert, to DJ, to decor and florals, every one was absolutely amazing. Our guests traveled from all over the country to come and everyone could not stop raving about entire wedding. Family Affair made our dreams come true with the most perfect destination wedding we could have ever asked for! Because of Family Affair, we were able to actually enjoy our wedding weekend and celebrate with everyone who traveled to be there with us. Would recommend to ALL couples seeking the most beautiful and stress free wedding. read more

Over the last 18 months, we have had the pleasure of working with Bernadette and the Family Affair team. The name of their company is very fitting because from the beginning, Bernadette makes you feel like family and you immediately know that she genuinely cares about YOUR wedding day. It's instantly apparent that the entire team loves what they do, and they truly put their hearts into every detail - and they ROCK at it. Between the nearly instant response rate to emails and phone calls, ensuring all the vendors are ready to go, making time lines, and managing the commotion on the day of - Bernadette doesn't disappoint. Choosing Bernadette was by far the smartest choice we made when planning our wedding, she is equally as great of a coordinator as she is as a friend - she is there to comfort you and be there for you when you need it. Right before our wedding, we encountered a number of obstacles due to Hurricane Irma that she handled with poise and determination. She made sure our dream wedding not only happened, but also went off without a single hiccup. She is definitely the one you want on your side when planning your dream wedding and we are forever grateful for the beautiful day she created for us. - Amanda and Chris Terry November 3, 2017 read more

First, I just want to say that if you want to have a perfect day for your wedding, then go to Family Affair! My husband and I had our big day at Southernmost Beach Resort 9/29/18. We started getting in touch with Family Affair, or specifically Ms. Bernadette McCall back in March. She has always been very kind and very helpful! I really really love how she always takes the initiative so that everything keeps going forward! Also whenever I have questions she will answer them all. Her team is awesome. They made the day stress-free for me by taking care of all the details. My maid of honor and her family's flight was delayed and they were about to miss the rehearsal. And of course as usual I was able to rely on Ms. McCall- we schedule a different shuttle for them from Miami to Key West after their flight was delayed for 5 hours from SFO. I feel there is a lot to say but if I continue I won't stop :D. I just have to say that I loved everything of my wedding day, and everyone of our family and friends loved it as well and they keep coming to us telling how perfect the day was! Thank you Family Affair! read more

We were very fortunate to have found Bernadette McCall of Family Affair. Our daughter had a destination wedding this November in Key West. Bernadette's advice and guidance was invaluable. When planning this type of wedding, its important to have someone whose recommendations you can trust. Her help with the venue, photographer, DJ and everything else in between was spot on. Her efforts to keep within our budget were also greatly appreciated. The day before the wedding my husband became sick and spent the night in the hospital. Both Bernadette and her husband John became involved and helped us throughout the whole ordeal taking care of everything they could to allow my husband to walk our daughter down the aisle. We will never forget all they did for us that day. From start to finish Bernadette handled the wedding perfectly and with the utmost professionalism. We are so grateful to her and all of the Family Affair team for the time and hard work they put into making that special day so memorable for us. I highly recommend Family Affair for your event. They are the best !! read more

We hired Family Affair for the photography for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! We did the First Look, and the photos we got from them of us and our two best friends going around Key West before the wedding are absolutely priceless. It was definitely well worth it!! Additionally, we had Family Affair provide our Day of Planner as well. For a while we were not going to do any sort of wedding planner for our big day, but eventually realized that it was worth the extra money if it meant that the day would go off smoothly and without issue. Well, that is exactly what we got! I can only imagine the debacle the vendors would have encountered when they arrived at our venue if there wasn't a planner there to coordinate all the setup. The Day of Planner took care of everything for us, and ultimately made our big day incredibly special and as stress-free as possible. Bernadette and her team at Family Affair are a fantastic group to work with, so look nowhere else and book her team because you will not be disappointed!!! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Mel & Kay while planning and preparing for our wedding day. They were wonderful - very professional. They took the time to listen to our wishes and helped us pull all our thoughts together keeping the process stress free along the way. On the wedding day, everything was perfect. They coordinated with the venue and all the vendors we had contracted with, it was a seamless production. They took such care of all our personal items, setting them up and returning them to our guest room at the end of the reception. We didn't have to think about any details that day, they handled everything and we were able to enjoy every minute of our day with our friends and famiy. Mel & Kay (and the whole Family Affair team), I Cannot thank you enough! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! read more

I don't even know where to begin!!! I am so grateful for Bernadette and her team at Family Affair for making our wedding day the best day of our lives! From day one Bernadette and her team made the planning process a dream and as stress free as planning a wedding can be. No matter what I needed Bernadette was always responsive, answered all my questions, and always gave honest advice and guidance. The actual wedding day went flawlessly, and I did not have to worry about a single thing because of Bernadette and her amazing team. Our wedding vision was executed to perfection and so many of our guests came up to us and told us it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. If you need a wedding planner in Key West Bernadette and her Family Affair team are who you need!! read more

We had a wonderful experience with using Family Affair to plan our wedding. Bernadette is fantastic and so helpful from the very first moment we contacted her! Everything on the day of the wedding went very well and ran extremely smoothly. We had a fabulous day and our guests thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the wedding. Bernadette and the Family Affair wedding planning crew were so helpful, organized and worked so hard to make our wedding such a special and meaningful day. Being from out of town, we especially appreciated having a wedding planner who was knowledgeable about all things Key West! I cannot recommend Family Affair highly enough! We were immensely pleased with our wedding experience with this company. read more

Family Affair was just outstanding to work with, starting with initial contact with Bernadette and her in house staff, to work with Bernadette during the venue walk through to Kayla and Jenn the day of coordinators, just wonderful!! During the planning process, Family Affair suggested vendors who turned out to be first class. Planning for a wedding without being local was a little trying, but Family Affair made it seamless. They handle everything the day of the wedding, coordinated with all the deliveries and vendors, taking great care of the bride & groom, along with looking after the families. I would use Bernadette and the Family Affair team for any event in the Keys!! read more

I've already told my husband that we need to renew our vows in 5 years and have Bernadette help us make it happen! I'm so grateful to her and her team for making our entire wedding weekend so beautiful and stress free, and for all of Bernadette's recommendations to make it fun for our guests, like organizing a trolley ride to our welcome dinner and testing out the food at our welcome dinner restaurant, Agave 308, to make sure it was good! Even our planning was stress free and easy, which is saying a LOT because I am a perfectionist. :) I just could not ask for anyone to ever do more than they all did. We are so thankful! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Family Affair and specifically Bernadette. I could NEVER have pulled off my wedding without her. She not only took care of all the details she dealt with a very stressed bride who kept changing information. With all that being said, she remained calm and continued to reassure me and without a doubt my wedding, the pictures, the reception from beginning to end was 100% absolutely perfect. She managed to hear through my stress the things that were important to me and made it all work. I will recommend her services to everyone and anyone that asks. THANK YOU BERNADETTE!!!!!!!!! read more

Landon and I just came back from our wedding in Key West! Family Affair made our wedding beyond perfection! Their attention to detail, professionalism and helpfulnesss was amazing. On the actual wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing-Yeo and Fernando took care of everything from delivering flowers, carrying my veil, carrying our drinks, kicking out (nicely) unwanted guests, plating our food, and just being kind!!!! We cannot say enough about good things about this wedding planner and would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married! You will not be disappointed! We are beyond happy! read more

Bernadette is amazing to work with. She is so kind and easy to work with while at the same time has great attention to detail and is on point with the necessary timelines etc. I don't think we spent more than 2500 and that price included flowers, the photographer, her services, and the officiant. Everything was top notch and the quality of what we received was excellent as well. I highly recommend her if you are thinking about a wedding in Key West. She and her staff made our day completely stress free and an amazing day to remember! read more

The team at family affair was such a pleasure to work with. They reallt went above and beyond to make sure our day was a special one. My only regret from our wedding weekend was that we did not have the team with us for every event throughout the entire 3 days. All the events from the day of our wedding which family affair oversaw went off amazingly and without a hitch. They made it all so easy and such an amazing experience. -Gabe and Danny read more

Bernadette and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with. Our day truly was beautiful and I wouldn't have wished anything differently. We planned everything 100% virtual and I am more than blown away how everything came out. Also, Bernadette gives wonderful vendor recommendations. From DJ, florals, and photography. Thank you to everyone at Family Affair! read more

I researched several event planners in Key West and I'm so glad I chose A Family Affair! Bernadette and her team have it down to a science and it made wedding day a breeze!
