My husband and I have known DJ Jake for several years now and have hired him to DJ at our…read moreGasparilla party ‍ as well as our housewarming night party. 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!

I hired Viegas Photography for a wedding 11/15/19. In good faith, I paid in full instead of giving…read morea deposit of 1/2 the amount owed (lesson learned.) 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.

Planning a wedding in a town with which you're unfamiliar can be a frightening experience. Luckily…read morefor me, the pastor performing the ceremony recommended Viegas Photography. 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.

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.

Throughout the planning process, Vilma communicated in a timely manner, took all of my pinterest photo inspiration & asked clarifying questions to ensure that my vision was coming together. Vilma's team carried out our ceremony rehearsal and executed the day-of, without a hitch. And if there was a hitch, we couldn't tell. Everything from our floral designs, modern wedding arch, cocktail tables to our reception centerpieces exceeded our expectations. The flowers were fresh and popped with color. And the ceremony and reception space felt romantic and modern, which is just what we wanted. Thank you, to Vilma and the team at Cherished Ceremonies. We would live our wedding day over, 100 times, thanks to your services and beautiful creations!

We just had our wedding with Gulf Beach Weddings…read more The staff had always been very accommodating, especially with all my last minute changes. This is a very laid back, low key type wedding which is what we wanted! If you're a bridezilla and want a high maintenance fussy wedding then this is not for you. There were lots of beach goers on the beach but they didn't bother us one bit and the staff made sure no one intervened with me walking down the aisle. Yes the flowers they use on the arches are fake but that didn't bother me. I'm sure if you wanted to pay a florist tons of money to do that then you could. We did the Upham Beach location just because it happened to be across from our condo. But parking at this location was definitely an issue for our guests considering it was a gorgeous 80 degree Sunday so it was very busy. We also really like that the paradise grille was right there so our guests could stop for a quick drink prior to the ceremony. The photographer provided with the package was amazing as well! So friendly and totally passionate about her profession. She made everyone very comfortable and kept the flow going well! If you're looking for low key, no fuss then this is for you!

It was on a Saturday but even leaving at 4 pm to be there by 5pm, and I was only 15 min away but it was still not early enough! Consider having your wedding earlier if you decide to book a wedding with this location in Pensacola. Took about 1 hr to get to my wedding! One other mishap was the violinist was late but probably due to traffic, she was a ok violinist but I wish the music was louder, the waves from the ocean were loud so you could not really hear the music that well. She also played the music I picked in the wrong order. Other than that everything was good! The set up was beautiful! Weather was perfect! Something is always going to happen on your wedding day and I hope this review will help other people with their wedding plans:)

There is so many things that we have to say about this company, especially Ms. Amber. 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
