Mary Kate was the definition of the “Wrap-Up Services Only” bride. She was incredibly organized, no nonsense, decisive, and kept herself on task and on budget. We helped her with vendor referrals and to tie up any loose ends. The day-of went smoothly, for the most part. It almost rained, but the skies held out and we were able to have a beautiful outdoor wedding.
The guests had a great time dancing to live music by The Leonard Brothers Band.
Mazel Tov!

My life as an Orlando and Central Florida wedding planner has taught me many things: I know hurricane clauses in contracts like the back of my hand. One sip can tell me if a certain wine is too bold or just right for a large guest list. And… I’ve seen how self-care is of utmost […]
