Amazing honor awarded to Eventfully Yours

The Knot has created a new award for wedding professionals - The Hall of Fame. It is awarded to those in the wedding industry that have been named to the Best of Weddings for four or more years, as voted on by brides and grooms. Only 253 professionals received this honor and 20 of those were in Florida, with just 4 being in Central Florida.  Eventfully Yours was the only wedding planner in the area to receive the honor and is beyond excited to have been named to their elite club.

I say it all the time - it means the world to me when clients take the time to let others know about our services! I didn't get here on my own and sure, hard work has paid off but by all my former clients writing reviews and telling their friends about Eventfully Yours, it has helped us continue to grow and receive honors like this.

So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I am truly humbled by this and reminded of how blessed I am to be doing what I love and working with such wonderful people!

Eventfully Yours Wedding Featured in Desh Videsh Magazine

Being featured in a magazine is always such a huge honor and we recently found out that Desh Videsh was featuring Sonya and Vikram's wedding. You can check out the on line version here.

We started with the Baraat early in the morning and then processed across a major road with Vik on an elephant and his uncles on horses to his family's temple in Oviedo. Then we had everyone at the Wyndham Orlando Resort for the Hindu ceremony and after a quick break began the reception. It was such an exciting day! Thanks to Sona Photography for capturing this beautiful day!

Katie and Chris at Knowles Chapel and Orlando Museum of Art

I knew from the first moment I met Katie that she would become a friend for life! She was the 10th Kappa Delta to use Eventfully Yours services and it's such an honor to be a part of this close nit group and I'm thinking I should be an honorary sister by now! :)

I loved working with Katie and Chris and helping them with this very special day. The ceremony took place at the beautiful Knowles Chapel on the campus of Rollins College and the reception was at The Orlando Museum of Art. We used Mt. Dora Trolley to transport the bridal party which is always fun and great for photos.

We brought in Cristy Nielsen to capture the day and of course used the best of best in catering - Arthur's! Dream Designs provided the floral, while Cliff with CRB Entertainment had the crowd dancing all night!!

Wedding Wire Rated

We've received 41 reviews with Wedding Wire!

Special thanks to all of our brides who take just few minutes to let other brides know about our service. It truly means the world to us and is the absolute best compliment we can ever get. We are so fortunate to be involved with clients on this most important day and do not take our role lightly! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it all and a huge thanks for spreading the word!

Sitha and Jason at The Grand Bohemian

Sitha and Jason were recently married at First Presbyterian downtown in their intimate chapel with the reception following at The Grand Bohemian. Although the wedding was in June, it was so close to the church that guests didn't mind the short 2-block walk from the hotel.

I took Sitha and Jason to Rebecca at Windermere Flowers and she completely understood their vision and made it all come to life. Their cake was to be gluten free for Jason and I had no doubt that Jennyfer with The Sugar Suite would do an unbelievable job. But when I tasted it at the end of the night, I was blown away!!! I think all cakes should be gluten free .. at least if made by Jennyfer!

So thankful for Jay of Liquid Entertainment and his magic on the dance floor as well as having Iwona there to capture the beautiful day!

Renata and Robert Wedding at Bella Collina

I absolutely love Bella Collina and when Renata came to me looking for an Italian inspired venue, it was easy to let them know about this fabulous venue. They were having a small wedding and the wine cellar was just perfect for their special day. Thanks to Iwona for the great images!

Kylie and Michael's Wedding

I say it all the time but it's so true ... I have THE BEST clients ever! Kylie and Michael made the 9 months of planning super fun and the wedding day was even better.

I rarely get a chance to work with the groom but Michael "The CEO of the Wedding" as he called himself, was very involved and had such an awesome attitude and the greatest sense of humor! He wanted the best day for his bride and trusted Eventfully Yours to deliver wonderful vendors for their wedding (which, of course, we did)!

They already had Waldorf Astoria and Hilton Bonnet Creek booked for their ceremony and reception so we contacted Garrett Nudd and thankfully he was available. Then we reached out to Tommy Murphy with Greenery Productions, Jay Edwards with Liquid Entertainment, Rev. Glynn Ferguson with Sensational Ceremonies and Marcella Cardinal with UnBridaled Beauty.

I think the wedding day was just wonderful. It had rained during set up time and we had to call it inside but then soon after it stopped so everyone worked really hard to have it outside and Kylie went from tears to pure joy! It did start to rain at the very end of the ceremony but I feel it was a blessing of showers from above and it made for some fun photographs! And of course, in true Florida fashion, the rain ended in a matter of minutes so we could get more photos outside.

We wish Michael and Kylie all the best and know that we'll be friends forever! :)

Real Life 101

Owner, Tracy L. Marini, was recently interviewed for Real Life 101, a syndicated TV show that teaches young adults about different careers. It is truly an honor to be recognized as a top leader in your field.

Bella Collina Wedding

Melanie and Stephen exchanged their vows at the gorgeously breathtaking Bella Collina in Montverde, Florida in early April. The day could have not been more perfect. Between the weather, the view and the sweet couple, it was surely a day to remember. Photos by Sara Kauss.

The Knot Market Mixer

The Knot recruited owner, Tracy L. Marini of Eventfully Yours for the planning of The Knot Market Mixer that was at the end of February in Central Florida for advertisers and vendors in the area. This marks the 4th time that Tracy has had the honor of planning this amazing industry event!

The venue chosen was EVO, located in downtown Orlando. Tracy recruited Tommy Murphy of Greenery Productions to assist with the design for the event. Tracy wanted to create a true networking atmosphere and give everyone the opportunity to talk to those in the industry they already had relationships with and also have the chance to make some new ones. It was great to see people making connections, catching up and to also see others enjoy the music and dance! I am so thankful for Jay with Liquid Entertainment for creating a fun and inviting dance floor space!
