LIZ AND MATT E-SESSION

I am so excited about working with Liz and Matt! I met them three years ago at another wedding and have been lucky enough to see them at a few more.

They recently had their e-session with Jen of Fortin Photography so I wanted to post a couple of my favorites!

I cannot wait for March 28!

A couple weeks ago Lisa wtih E-Events and Abby Liga had an open house to celebrate their new office and I was so excited when I saw Garrett and Joy Nudd there!

I have not seen them since April when we did Natasha and Jason's wedding at Isleworth and it was so much fun to catch up and share some laughs.

Had to share this photo of Lisa and Jessy-aren't they so darn cute?!

I love being at the Omni and am so thankful that we are serving as the coordinators out there. The hotel is fabulous-the staff rocks and I've gotten to meet some wonderful couples.

Judi and Mark got married this past weekend and Mike Briggs was nice enough to send me over some images to post.

We were out at The Omni for a two day event this past weekend as Lailee and Rajeev flew in from New York and London (respectively) to tie the knot!

There were so many fascinating cultures, including Indian and Perisian, over the weekend.

Thanks to Fred Scott for sending over these photos!

I am so fortunate to have such wonderful clients and to have built some great friendships over the past 5 years! Heather and Damon were definitely those clients who I bonded with immediately which was awesome, considering they came to me from another coordinating company that had to move away.

It was an instant connection with them both and Heather's parents! I truly enjoyed my time planning with them and getting to know them all and thought the day was amazing!

Held in New Smyrna Beach at Heather's parents condo, this wedding was a show stopper. From the flowers, to the linens, to the food, to the steel drum player, to the picture perfect weather, everything was fantastic!

Thanks Cory Callahan for these photos!

GOING THE EXTRA MILE ..... LITERALLY

A couple weeks ago we had Lindsay and David's wedding at Paradise Cove and I was already teamed up with some wonderful vendors, Marc Harmon Photography, Greenery Productions and White Rose so from a coordinator standpoint I was very thankful that they incorporated a great team.

Lindsay hired Michele Rene for hair and make-up and although I had never worked with her before, she won (in my book) for being the best vendor at a wedding!

Lindsay's sister was flying in on the day of the wedding and unfortunately her plane was delayed in Atlanta. The wedding was scheduled to start at 5pm and Christina's plane landed at 4:50pm. Michele and her team were waiting at the airport for her and got her in the car and drove off to the wedding, while doing her hair and make-up in the car!! They would call me every five minutes to tell me where they were and as soon as they pulled into the parking lot of Paradise Cove, we began the processional!

Meanwhile, Christina is in the car changing into her dress and as I signal to her that it's time, she jumps out of the car, we hand her the bouquet and she hugs Lindsay real quick (there were definitely tears from us all at this point) and she walks down the aisle as if she had been there the entire time!

Linsday and dad enter, and only 25 minutes behind schedule. Whew-deep breath! Definitely the craziest moment I've had in five years! But to see Lindsay's face as Christina stepped out of the car-a moment I will never forget!

So .... hats off to Michele and her team! She drove over from Tampa for the job, then drives to the airport and then back home again. And everyone looked amazing!

KATIE AND MELVIN

Ashley and I finished up the weekend out in Windermere with Katie and Melvin's wedding at Camp Down.

I thought it all came together nicely and it was a perfect day for an outdoor ceremony on the lake!

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A ...... REHEARSAL

Today was a busy day for us! We had four weddings (two at Omni, one at Grand Bohemian and the last at Shingle Creek) and one rehearsal so we will be ready for the wedding tomorrow!

Everything went great and I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful team to work for me. It truly makes my days easier knowing they always put their best foot forward and help me execute each and every wedding.

I had to share a few photos that I took from Bridget and Brian's wedding at Shingle Creek. This candy bar was by far my favorite one I've done. I do think Bridget was trying to feed an army with all of the candy she had but ohhhh ... it looked perfect!

And I absolutely loved what Tommy Murphy at Greenery Productions did for her centerpieces! Definite WOW factor!

Ashley and I worked a ceremony at The Omni this afternoon and the bride pulled a surprise like non other!

She's in the lobby taking photos with her bridesmaids and then I escort the girls downstairs for the processional. Rita sneaks out the front lobby doors with her dad while Ashley and Rita's uncle follow her to the clubhouse to assist in the surprise.

I begin the processional and Jennifer Smith (Catering Manager at Omni) is on the phone with Ashley giving her play by play on the processional and as soon as we send Stephen and the groomsmen down the aisle, Jennifer gives her the signal.

Rita and her dad are in a helicopter by the Clubhouse ready to go. As I hear the helicopter coming, I send the last of the bridal party and the Priest asks everyone to stand for the arrival of the bride and her father. As everyone looks back towards the doors .... suddenly they realize she's not coming from that way and they look up and TA ... DA! Here comes Rita- waving in the helicopter. Everyone was shocked! It was truly one of the best entrances I've ever seen!

But of course we were so busy, I didn't get a photo of it but Ashley did snap this of the centerpiece (thanks Ash!)
