They answered all of my questions promptly and patiently. I thought this was going to be such a stressful moment, weddings, inc took all the guess work out and made the whole wedding planning a total breeze. They are so attentive, down to earth, sincere and simply wonderful. The day of the wedding there was a tiny mess up with the flowers (not their fault) and Terri handled it perfectly. She made sure everything was in place and that everything looked beautiful. She made sure I was in one piece and at ease the entire night. I'm was so worried to meet their DJ- I was afraid our taste in music would clash. He is the best! When I couldn't think of what songs to go where- he guided me and picked out the perfect songs. They made my wedding day a true princess story for the books.

I had a great experience working with Weddings Inc. I worked primarily with Ashlie and she was…read morefantastic! I had a bit of a challenge on my hands - planning a wedding in Orlando from my home in Chicago. My mom and I found Weddings Inc and thought it would be the perfect way to navigate the world of vendors while working with a consultant who understands weddings. We were right. You will do most of the legwork in terms of interacting with the vendors, but your contact at Weddings Inc is there to help you along the way as the sort of "umbrella contact" - answering any questions you may have about the process and helping to coordinate with the vendors if you need it. I was happy to have Ashlie there on my wedding day to act as the behind the scenes master of ceremonies. She kept things going at a good pace (while never over stepping her bounds) and helped with tips here and there during the reception to ensure things went smoothly. She even cleaned up after the ceremony - collecting all my belongings, cleaning up the sparklers, and coordinating my surprise ice cream truck dessert for my groom!

On the day of the wedding, everything was exactly as is was supposed to be... Joyce was there to coordinate everyone and all we had to do was enjoy the party with everyone else. I would most certainly recommend Creative Designs to anyone who wishes to have the wedding of their dreams.

I will begin by saying that our wedding was nothing short of a fairy tale. Although we found the…read moreperfect venue which happened to be on a beach, I still wanted a glamorous semi-formal Disney Princess-type of wedding. We live on the East coast of FL so having a wedding in Bradenton Beach was a destination wedding for us and although I had accomplished some things on my own, I knew I would need more help. I described what type of wedding I was imagining to our venue wedding coordinator and he pointed me to Priscila of My Storybook Party. I spoke to Priscila and the rest was history. She listens so well, is extremely organized, has many fantastic ideas, is kind, and truly cares about her brides (and grooms!). I don't know what I would have done without her. We traveled out to Sarasota at least 3 different times in the months leading up to the wedding and she would always coordinate appointments and meet or even drive us around the entire weekend. Yes, you read that right - she was with us the ENTIRE weekend from early in the morning until it got dark and that's in addition to spending hours with me on the phone. On to hair and makeup. Some would call me 'high maintenance' but hey, I know what I like. I have long curly hair that I'm used to spending 2-3hours washing, straightening then curling myself on an almost daily basis. I am also accustomed to spending around an hour doing my own makeup so a VERY good makeup and hair stylist were important to me and Priscila understood that. She found a lady that had at least like 15 years of experience in the wedding hair industry and booked me a trial. Initially, I thought I wanted a loose waterfall braid with hair teased at the top so the stylist tried, but she completely rushed through my trial and my hair ended up a frizzy mess. She said she would "practice" the braid since she was rusty and be better on my wedding day. Priscila paid attention, reassured me that I shouldn't just "go with" the stylist and that she would find someone for me because she wanted me to be confident that my hair would be perfect. She spent the next few months - YES MONTHS - searching for the perfect stylist. She called me to tell me she had found the perfect guy for the job and we made another appointment just a few months before my wedding. I sat in his chair and knew he was THE ONE that I could trust with my hair on our wedding day. We booked him and EVERYONE was impressed on our wedding day, but that's another review. Priscila also recommended a great makeup artist near our home on the East Coast that we ended up paying to come across the state for the day of our wedding. Décor - Priscila went out of her way to find rental companies for everything My Storybook Party did not have for rent. She tracked down so much - linens, tables, gold wood chivalry chairs (that would work on the beach), bling chandeliers, a tall chuppah, beaded chuppah curtains, tents, twinkle lights, and plate chargers. She also made sure to work with our venue coordinator to ensure we could get exactly what we wanted despite regulations/preferred vendor requirements/etc. Centerpieces - I looked everywhere and was on Pinterest for days looking for centerpiece ideas. I did not want the typical centerpiece with flowers and FINALLY found the bling pieces I had been looking for. Instead of renting I just bought everything I thought we needed, but we were short two big pieces due to last minute cancellations. Priscila spent hours going over options with me and taking pictures of how each table should be arranged. She also tracked down the last two pieces we needed - beautiful big bling candelabras that matched our other décor. She and her assistants set up the tables for us and broke them down immediately after the wedding. All of our pieces were neatly wrapped and packed in boxes and ready to travel. Every single piece I had was accounted for and unbroken. Day of - Priscila and her assistants ran around all day making sure everything was accounted for and in the right place. She also kept popping to check on me and ensure I was doing okay and everything was on schedule. She kept to a schedule and had every detail accounted for, down to the flip flop stations strategically placed for our guests to take their heels of if they didn't realize we'd be on the beach. The "extra" décor pieces we brought were placed around our reception area beautifully by Priscila. We had orchid strands on each chair on the aisle - she took them down and arranged the orchids around our beautiful cake after the ceremony. Did I mention our cake was just featured on Grace Ormonde Wedding Style? If you're planning a party big or small, call Priscila. She and her team will be right by your side every step of the way and ensure that you're 100% pleased with every single detail, whether you want to be as involved as I was in the process or if you trust her to run with everything. Our wedding was a dream come true & if you call her, yours will be too.

I hired Priscila from My StoryBook Party as a "month of" coordinator for my daughter's destination…read morewedding at the Crosley Estate in Sarasota, FL. What initially attracted me to Priscila was her calm presence and soft-spoken voice. I was primarily looking to hire someone to keep my daughter relaxed prior to the ceremony, as we have a handful of family members who can be quite stress invoking! What I soon found was that I had hired so much more than a "bride-sitter" and "stress guard". Priscila is focused and driven. She truly knows the wedding business inside and out. I found that she could be firm and authoritative when necessary. While gentle in demeanor, she's no pushover! Priscila was quick to reply to phone calls, email, and text messages. She is full of interesting suggestions - things I never would have thought of. She referred us to several local vendors, who were not only professional, but I found to be very reasonably priced. She gladly intervened with a couple of issues that cropped up last minute, keeping the stress from my daughter. She coordinated with all of our other vendors, and created a master timeline for the entire wedding day. We were able to drop off all of our wedding items with Priscila in Sarasota a week prior to the wedding; so we didn't have to run anything to the venue on the day of. She and her team set up all of our wedding décor for us, and had all of it repacked and in our cars by the time the reception was over. Priscila truly understands that a wedding day is so much more than "just another day". With the timeline in place, there were no worries for any of the bridal party on the day of the wedding. Everyone was notified where they needed to be and at what time, and from there, Priscila and her assistants took over. Our only job on the day of the wedding was to be present. My daughter's wedding day was seamless, allowing everyone to focus on what was truly important - FAMILY! I would only do one thing differently if I had to do it over. I'd hire Priscila to handle to entire affair, instead of just the "month of" coordinating. I now understand that the money that you spend on the right wedding coordinator actually saves you so much in the long run! Thank you, Priscila Radke-Neves and My StoryBook Party! You were a breath of fresh air and felt like family by the time the wedding rolled around. You were a joy to work with!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melissa and Doris as our wedding coordinators for our…read morewedding at The Pinery, and we truly cannot recommend them enough. We booked them about a year in advance after finding them on The Pinery's preferred vendor list, and from the very beginning we knew we were in great hands. They offer a variety of packages that can work for any type of wedding, which was really helpful as we planned our intimate celebration. Our wedding was a small, family-only event with about 20 guests, but it still included a full timeline -- first look, private vows, ceremony, cocktail hour, first dance, dinner, and some reception time. We chose their Happily Ever After package, which at the time was one of their highest tiers, and we also upgraded to add reception table clean up, dancing on a cloud, and DJ/entertainment. While we could have sourced those vendors separately, we were already so happy with Melissa and Doris that having them coordinate those details for us made the process incredibly easy, and the pricing was very reasonable. Throughout the entire planning process they were always available for questions. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would sometimes text them late at night or on weekends with questions or concerns, and they always responded kindly and quickly without ever making me feel like I was bothering them. That level of support meant so much during the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were attentive not only to us, but also to our family and guests. There were so many thoughtful touches that meant the world to us -- helping me with my dress as I walked down the aisle, bringing my husband and I drinks and appetizers throughout the day so we stayed hydrated and didn't miss out on enjoying the food while taking photos, entertaining our family with a fun limbo dance, and even taking pictures of all the little details. Our day felt absolutely perfect, and if anything did go wrong behind the scenes, we never knew about it because they handled everything so seamlessly. Their organization, professionalism, and genuine care made such a difference, and their pricing is more than fair for the level of service they provide. Melissa and Doris truly helped make our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable, and we are so grateful we chose them to be part of such an important day in our lives.

We could not have been more happy with our choice to work with Lee Forrest for our wedding floral…read more Prior to signing our contract, we worked with Lee on an overall color scheme for the bouquet and boutonniere (pastel), a "feel" for the centerpieces (tropical leaves with golden dinosaurs), and a our centerpieces for our head table. We were so impressed by how flexible Lee was in helping us reach out budget--he never made me feel bad about asking for less expensive flowers, and made sure that we held to higher quality pieces where they were important. One thing that most impressed us by Lee was his responsiveness and professionalism. He made sure that we knew what we were getting, every step of the way, and was quick to respond to our queries within 24 business hours. This wasn't the case with all florists we originally spoke to, and it really made him stand out. For my wedding we had unique, stunning floral, we paid less than our original floral budget, and we had the piece of mind that my flowers would arrive and they would look awesome. We cannot thank Lee enough for doing such a great job on such an important part of our day.

We scheduled a visit about a week after getting engaged and made the trip to see it in person, and the moment we arrived, we knew this was it. We didn't even bother looking at other venues after that. We chose their elopement and catering package for 20 guests and had our wedding on a Thursday, which was perfect for the intimate experience we wanted. Christina and Jeremy are wonderful hosts, and their daughter Ruby is the sweetest. They make you feel so welcome and truly care about the couples who get married there. The venue itself is beyond words; magical, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful forest and nature. Honestly, you don't need to do much decorating because the venue itself brings the magic to life. My husband and I are both from up north, so being surrounded by the pine trees made the day feel even more meaningful and nostalgic for us. We loved the different package options they offered. When we booked about a year ago, they didn't yet have the all-inclusive package, but knowing how attentive and thoughtful they are, I would absolutely recommend it because I'm sure they go above and beyond with every detail. On the day of our wedding, Jeremy was already ahead of everything, even monitoring the weather for us. He let us know there was a chance of rain and walked us through options just in case. We decided to trust our gut and move forward with the outdoor plan. In the end, it started to rain right after we finished dinner, and it actually became another sweet and memorable moment from our magical day. Our family was beyond impressed with the venue, and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives. Thank you again, Christina and Jeremy, for sharing such a beautiful and special place with us!
