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.

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!

Veronica and Jamie

Truly the best18 months I ever spent was planning a wedding with these two wonderful people! Veronica and Jamie were so much fun to be around and just brought so much joy and laughter into the planning process.

Their wedding took place at The Rosen Shingle Creek and Nathan and Jensey Root (Veronica and Jensey met at Disney years ago) were on site to capture their beautiful day. Of ccurse I brought in Tommy Murphy of Greenery Productions for floral and decor and I loved the pops of color on the table and with the uplighting around the room. Jay with Liquid Entertainment had the dance floor packed all night and as you can see below, everyone had a great time!

The highlight of the night though was at the end when Veronica told the bridal party they were jumping in the pool .. dresses, tuxes and all! I honestly thought she was joking when she said it earlier (shoot, I've been doing this for 10 years and I hear a lot and then things don't happen .. but she wasn't playing!) We did the sparkler exit and they drove off and as I begin the strike of the ballroom, sure enough I could hear everyone hooting and hollaring at the pool and I look out just in time to see them all jump. What an awesome memory they'll have of the entire day and especially the end of the night!

We are so very honored that The Knot has chosen Kamika and Daniel's October wedding at the Omni Orlando Resort to be featured in their 2013 Fall/Winter publication! Photos by the talented Garrett Nudd and flower and decor was done by Tommy at Greenery Productions.

Such a gorgeous couple and so fun to work with!

Kamika looks like the First Lady!

One of my favorites from the day, helping out Kamika as she gets photos done! I'm a servant by nature and love to help!

We Won!

We are so very thankful to have won The Knot Best Of for the 4th consecutive year. It means the world to me that a bride and/or groom would take the time to let the world know about their experience with Eventfully Yours! We put so much energy and effort into each and every wedding and are truly honored to be a part of this very special day! So the fact that our clients want to help us book new business means so much. Thank you!

We were also asked to plan The Knot market mixer for Central Florida in late February. This will be the fourth time that owner, Tracy Marini, has planned the party for them. What an honor!

Jenna and Michael

Jenna is the sweetest bride I have ever had the pleasure of working with. So soft spoken, delicate and poised. I loved working with her and her mom for 12 months as well as her sister, Katie, who was able to attend a few meetings. The wedding took place at her church in Leesburg and the reception was at Mission Inn. Tommy Murphy with Greenery Productions helped create the wedding of Jenna's dreams! The Headliners did not disappoint anyone at the reception and I think every single person danced for 4 solid hours! Thanks to my good friend and fabulous photographer, Garrett Nudd, for these images!

This magnificent spot was right next to Jenna's parents home - perfect for photos!

Jenna was just stunning!

Such a sweet first dance! Jenna and Michael had a choreographed dance and in the middle of it, he scooped her up and picked her up and twirled her around ... I about lost it! Best. First. Dance. Ever!

Jenna has such wonderful parents and I so blessed to have worked with them all!

I'm so appreciative that Garrett snapped this photo of me and Jenna! Love it!

The reception set up at the Ballroom at Mission Inn

It started to rain at the end of cocktail hour as guests were taking their seats and rained all night until we were about to exit! Perfect timing for it to stop. Such a perfect ending to a perfect day!
