Thank you so much Key Lime Pirates for providing the music to our wedding cocktail-hour and…read morereception. You guys were outstanding from start to finish. The Key Lime Pirates were able to provide just the right melody and acoustics during the cocktail-hour and dinner portion of our reception at the Roof Top Cafe. People were actually coming off the streets to the restaurant to join the event, until they realized it was a private event. However they did go to the other side of the restaurant and grabbed a drink and listened to the band from there. Claire did an exceptional job announcing the entrance of the bride and groom, bride and father-of-the-bride dance, groom and mother dance, cake cutting and all the necessities of formal but informal beach themed reception. The band provided the right combination of mellow acoustic sounds during the cocktail-hour and dinner, and was able to bump up the energy for dancing after dinner. The Key Lime Pirates hit all the right songs from start till the very final slow dance, and one energy packed song for everyone to head out on the town. Anyone with any reservations on this group, no worries they are easy going and can make accommodates for your venue, price range and number of band members as needed. Love this group, will find them again when we are on the Island. Sincerely, Jon and Angie

I was lucky enough to find Eric for our 110 person wedding in North Georgia. I am so, so happy that…read moreI did because Eric was THE most important person at the wedding (other than my groom of course!) Eric came to the wedding with his working shoes on - he was incredibly engaged and ahead of schedule the entire day. Instead of coming to me with questions as I was getting ready, he came to me with solutions and updated me on the process of his work. Not only did he act as our day-of-coordinator, he also acted as our florist last minute! I had put my mother in charge of arranging our DIY florals from Costco, and Eric immediately saw that the situation required a professional hand. He arranged everything in the most beautiful way, and we received compliments on the flowers and greenery all night. My only regret with working with Eric, as I told him, is that I didn't hire him for the entire wedding weekend! I can't recommend him enough - THANK YOU Eric!!

Working with Eric was by far the worst and most stressful part of our wedding experience. Far from…read morealleviating our troubles and making our lives easier, it became apparent the more we worked with him that he didn't have a high level of attention to detail, dropped the ball on a number of things, and simply wasn't executing at close to a high level to help us "plan" our wedding. Eric only had a few key responsibilities: (a) day of coordination and (b) sourcing a handful of vendors (hair/ makeup, videographer, DJ, and florals) -- we planned everything else ourselves.  Despite this slim list of responsibilities, Eric was unreliable, not proactive, and unapologetic: 1. After taking our full deposit for the hair and make up stylist, Eric failed to follow through on the contract and never booked the stylist. We found this out two months later, right before our supposed trial appointment (for which we had to fly in out of state) when we reached out to the stylist directly and learned that Eric had never followed through on the booking. There was no apology and we were left scrambling to book the stylist ourselves. Thankfully, she was still available on our wedding day but we couldn't believe that Eric failed to book her after taking our deposit. 2. Eric failed to properly coordinate audio during the day of our wedding. First, he failed to tell the DJ to set up a speaker outside for our ceremony and, even worse, he failed to inform our videographer that a string quartet was to perform at our ceremony. Accordingly, our videographer did not bring any mics for the quartet and we have learned after the fact that none of the audio of their beautiful performance was captured.  Eric's response to this was to have us ask the quartet to re-record their entire performance -- which we found to be unhelpful and completely unacceptable. 3. Eric's idea of preparing vendors was to circulate a "day of" itinerary -- and little else. This left our photographers and string quartet emailing us for details in the lead up to the wedding. He also failed to provide us and our hotel with the names / contacts of the shuttle bus drivers for the wedding day, leaving us and all our guests in the dark about when transportation would arrive. Hiring Eric as our wedding planner is the largest and only regret we have during our entire wedding process. We hope other couples look elsewhere for their wedding planning and coordinating needs (or just plan it on your own).

The decor looked fantastic and the team already had a great relationship with our venue (First Flight) so everything was so seamless. Bernadette's recommended vendors all delivered (flowers, officiant, photographer) and her team of assistants (particularly Jenna and Irisha) were incredible support throughout the day.

If you are thinking about having a wedding in Key West, FL and are looking for a wedding officiant,…read moreSteve Torrence is your guy. I'm not sure where to start but he is highly recommended all over town and after our wedding, we figured out why. First, you can contact him any time through email or phone and he will get back to you asap. Steve is the nicest man you will ever meet and is genuinely into your wedding from start to finish. He is also one of the lowest costing wedding officiant in Key West, I think he really enjoys what he does and doesn't want to raise the price. Here is what we did: We spoke to Key West Cakes about getting a cake for our wedding. The lady there used to be in the wedding planning business down there and knew just about everyone, especially the venues and people to avoid. Anyway, she recommended Steve to us so we decided to inquire. We contacted Steve a few months before our wedding, told him we wanted him be our officiant. He responded back and told us that he will mark us on the calendar and when we get in town, give him a call to meet up and discuss what route we wanted to go. When we arrived we contacted him and he said he would come to us which was nice because we had a million things to do and had limited time. He met us at the Hyatt Key West Resort and Spa and he was the funniest and nicest guy you could ever imagine. Since we were worried about rain, he had his church on standby incase we needed to use it. That was an added bonus! He asked us what we'd like him wear, a suit, a officiant gard, ect. He chose the garb because it made the pictures look neat. He told us everything we needed to know and to remember to breathe. You can even to a butterfly release if you want. On wedding day, he was early, came prepared, and calmed our nerves a bit. The wedding went better than planned at Fort Zachary Taylor Park/Beach and the rest is history. He signed our papers and we received our official license in the mail a few weeks later. Steve was the best and we are glad he was part of our special day! FYI - Megan of MEC Images was our wedding photographer and can be found in Key West as well. Megan and Steve have been doing wedding together for years and this really helps because they work great together.
