This Happy Couple Chose Wynwood As Their Backdrop

I loved everything about this wedding!  To start off Marissa and Matt are one of a kind. They had a vision, they wanted different and they weren’t afraid of color. Sometimes when you choose “out of the box” there are challenges. When you have an incredible team in place you can get through anything even with a 3am install start.  So many thank yous go out to everyone involved in this spectacular wedding ceremony and festivities!

Styled Shoot at the Spanish Monastery

Part 2 of the styled shoot with celebrity photographer, Robert Evans.  From Wynwood to the Spanish Monastery – from edginess and fun to tranquility and rustic elegance.  Many good times and amazing memories with designing and producing these two shoots together.

Blooming Flowers Key Biscayne, Unearthed Vintage, Atlas Party Rental, Savvylicious Sweets,  Millenium Limo and South Beach Makeup Studio  helped bring my vision to life.

 

 

Diplomat Country Club with Romina and Moshe

When you get that phone call from someone you grew up with to help coordinate his wedding your heart flutters with excitement. That’s how I felt when I got the phone call from Moshe and got to meet his fiancee, Romina.  One of the best parts was seeing so many familiar faces at the wedding.

Diplomat Country Club staff was amazing and so much fun to work with. Kosher catering with Executive Caterers did not disappoint topped with a cake by Gallery of Cakes.  Tony O Events made the bride’s vision come to life and despite the rain and moving the ceremony indoors it was was still a magical site.  Amram Adar helped create that magic with his amazing voice throughout the ceremony.  Becca and Kevin Borge covered photography and videography without skipping a beat.  The Music Machine kept everyone on the dance floor all night with the help of Vallenato.

Wishing a lifetime of happiness to these two!

 

Celebrating February Love with Brittany & Ross

Happy 2nd Anniversary Brittany and Ross!  Flashback Friday is in full force here with this amazing couple and unbelievable wedding!  The second daughter of this incredible family getting married required the family’s Golden Beach oceanfront abode to be transformed into a magical, breathtaking venue for this couple to walk down the aisle and for so many family members and friends to party the night away.

It was such an honor coordinating this event with many of the top vendors in this industry.  It was a multiple day install with long hours but everyone did a fabulous job.  Always a thank you to the entire team!

French Elegance Direct from Paris at Vizcaya

We put together this wedding in about 2 months while me in Miami and the bride in Paris.  Halfway through the process I finally got to “meet” the bride and groom via skype and finally met the groom in person on his wedding day.  This pair has a true love story and everyone was reminded of it throughout the event.  They wanted all their guests to feel comfortable and constantly be entertained.  Guests came from all over the world to watch ALF and JMJ walk down the aisle.

Glamour and Fun at Vizcaya with Asta & Joe

I will never forget meeting Asta and Joe for the first time at the Setai.  Their dynamics at that meeting let me know that if I was chosen to plan their spectacular event, it would be an awesome ride full of personality……and that it was!

Asta had a vision and we worked with a great group of vendors to bring it to life.  Lots of customization, details and most importantly to them, making sure their friends had an amazing time. It was a destination wedding for most and South Beach was the place to be.  Guests arrived and received gift bags filled with the general goodies but we wanted to make sure everyone also had some “fun in the sun” – beach bags, coconut cups, coconut water, rum, sarongs for the ladies and straw fedoras for the gentlemen, custom shot glasses, sunscreen and more.

Vizcaya was the place to showcase the union of this duo.  Breathtaking views for a breathtaking couple with no detail left untouched.  A custom door made in Alabama (coincidentally where Asta grew up) to hold family pictures, cocktail napkins with sayings, custom props in the photo booth, “cigarette” girls and guys handing out everything from mints, to custom sunglasses and test tube shots.

There was no shortage of spectacular entertainment – Libido got everyone on the dance floor throughout the night and then DJ Blaze took over with the incredible electric violinist brought in from New York, Sarah Charness.

The images for this one speak for themselves.  Thank you PS Photography!

Alyssa and Jeff Come Home

Working with Alyssa and her family on planning her wedding day was amazing.  It is always nice when it feels like “coming home”.  Mine and Alyssa’s family have known each other forever and the month before her wedding I had the honor of doing her cousin Mara’s wedding.  

There were a lot of things to think about when we started the planning process…..mainly, we had to find a date that wasn’t going to coincide with any big sporting event.  We succeeded and a beautiful wedding was planned at the Coral Gables Country Club.  Of course we made sure that Alyssa and Jeff’s personalities rang through so when they wanted to surprise everyone with their grand entrance introduction being made by the announcer of the Miami Heat my lips were sealed.

Alyssa and Jeff both grew up in South Florida but have spent years in Atlanta.  Their families are large and friends plentiful – boy do they know how to party!  Everyone was on the dance floor all night celebrating this incredible couple.

Thank you Heather Funk Photography for the images.

A Biltmore Beauty with Nicole and Rob

I’ve been busy trying to catch up on blogging with six weddings that took place in January.  Here is another winner!

I always love working at amazing and beautiful venues – The Biltmore in Coral Gables never disappoints!  The property is gorgeous and the staff is stellar.  Nicole and Rob chose amazing vendors to work with to help make their dreams of their special day come true.  Petal Productions created stunning arrangements in all areas allowing Ambrosio Photography and Senderey Videography to capture the true elegance of the day and the couple.  The music was phenomenal starting at the ceremony and cocktail hour with AA Musicians which led to a reception that Heatwave blew out of the park. The dance floor was packed all night.

A Destination Wedding to Warm Up From the Cold!

Michal hails from Michigan and Menachem from Chicago…..both living in NY now.  With a January wedding planned and an epic winter already in full swing, a South Florida Miami Beach wedding was a huge welcome for all the guests!  The wedding was planned in 10 weeks but no detail was left untouched.  We put together a stellar team to make this day special for Michal, Menachem and their families. The traditional, Jewish Orthodox wedding started with the groom’s Tisch and the bride’s Kabbalat Panim with much excitement leading up to the Bedekin.  It is always amazing to see the bride and groom’s faces the first time they see each other after seven days.  The Eden Roc’s Spa Garden was a beautiful site for the ceremony followed by cocktail hour in the Palm Terrace.  Guests were then invited upstairs for dinner and the reception.  The music was high intensity and everyone had a blast celebrating the bride and groom.   Thank you Emily Harris Photography for capturing all aspects of this beautiful couple and the incredible day!

Megan and Guillermo are all about fun!

From the moment I met these two I knew I would love working with them.  Planning and designing their wedding was easy…..we all totally understood each other.  Planning a fully outdoor event always has trials and tribulations but a chilly South Beach night at the Raleigh Hotel wasn’t going to stop this group. The ceremony was beautiful, officiated by their college friend.  He made it truly personal for them. Then on to the cocktail hour with a Latin musical group and kitschy place cards.  The dinner and reception under the stars was breathtaking with a family style dinner, tunes spun by DJ Jenni Fox and Wynwood Cigar Factory.  Helping to create the atmosphere was Petal Productions and Katie Lopez Photography did an incredible job capturing the details.  Thank you to everyone for being a part of this awesome wedding!
