If I could rate Catlyn and all of The Worthington for Events ten stars I would! We had the best experience at the Worthington , hosting my daughter‘s bat mitzvah.

Before the big day, I brought some friends and family for dinner, and everyone was treated with warmth and care.

Awarded Best of Zola
We live in Massachusetts but my husband is from Sarasota so we wanted to get married in Florida. Bakers Ranch made everything so easy especially since we were from out of town. The entire planning process was relatively stress free because they include and help with so much. The fact that I had someone to email with and ask questions the entire year of planning was huge. Missy was our day of coordinator and she made sure everything ran smoothly. It really took away stress on the wedding day. They provide almost all vendors but you still get a choice (shout out to DJ Rafael with Grant Hemond, Blue Water Catering & Tampa Bay Cake Co). While we wished there was an additional dinner catering option (there were only 2) we were still very happy with Blue Water. They can also help with outside vendors and give recommendations. I highly recommend this venue and it felt like the best bang for our buck!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

I’m Kristen — a wife, mom, coffee lover, and lifelong dreamer who believes the best parts of your wedding day are often the moments you never planned. The nervous laughs, happy tears, the way your partner looks at you, your favorite people dancing, and all the little moments in between — those are the memories I want you to hold onto. You don’t have to know how to pose or worry about being perfect. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when you just want to enjoy your day. My goal is simple: beautiful, genuine photos that bring you right back to how your wedding day felt.

Asimpledreamerco was an absolute joy to work with for our proposal photography. From the very first message, their communication was easy, quick, and personable - they felt like friends rather than just vendors. On the day of the proposal, they were fully prepared with a ton of creative photo ideas, and their work was crisp and high-quality. They even helped my fiancé plan a surprise proposal for me, complete with flowers and champagne! I was completely shocked but they captured the moment perfectly. Asimpledreamerco went above and beyond to make our proposal day special, and we are thrilled with the beautiful photos they delivered so quickly. We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience.

I am a professional violinist with over 25 years of experience performing for weddings, proposals ,cocktail hours, corporate functions, parties , proposals, solo at church services and many more occasions. I can play solo violin with background accompaniment, violin/cello duet, a string trio or a string quartet, depending on what suits you. Violin playing is my passion! Music is how I make my living. I am not someone who has a career outside of music and “dabbles” in music on the side, for extra money. I hold both a BA, and an MA in music and love to enhance your wedding and other events with beautiful, live violin playing.

Francesca J was a standout choice for our wedding day. From our first conversation through the final note, she stayed in touch and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. She showed up on time and played with such grace that our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The violin added an elegance to our ceremony that we couldn't have gotten any other way. Francesca's professionalism and genuine care for making our day special made all the difference. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

Hi! I am Julia. I am specializing in documenting love stories taking place all throughout the world. I love working with different cultures, languages and in the most incredible locations. I adore capturing and preserving the memory, heart, and soul of an event, family and couple. My approach is both editorial and artistic. Not simply documenting moments as they happen but also carefully crafting the compositions of those moments. My aim is to deliver an aesthetic that is effortlessly romantic, timeless and emotive. Mostly I want my couples to look at their images and feel the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of the day all over again.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Julia from Fantasmic Photography for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our photos and video, Julia was nothing short of professional, creative, and accommodating. Julia really captured the essence of our special day with such an artistic eye. The candid moments, along with the beautifully composed shots, told our wedding story in the most magical way. Every photograph was crisp, vibrant, and full of emotion. We were especially impressed with how she seamlessly captured the little details—like the flowers, rings, and our guests' reactions—that we didn't even notice in the moment. The video was absolutely breathtaking! Julia’s videography managed to blend the joy, love, and energy of our day into a cinematic masterpiece. The editing was flawless, with the right music and pacing that made it feel like a movie. Watching our wedding video felt like reliving the entire day all over again, and it truly brought tears to our eyes. She also provided us with both a highlight reel and a full-length video, which was a great touch. What stood out the most was Julia's professionalism and attention to detail. She blended into the background during the day, capturing moments without interrupting or making us feel rushed. Her friendly demeanor and clear communication made the entire process so much easier. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who will not only capture your wedding day but make it unforgettable, Julia at Fantasmic Photography is the way to go!

Wow. Bianca was an absolute breeze and pleasure to work with. Her calming presence and professionalism are EXACTLY what I needed on my wedding day, and we had a lot of fun! She went above and beyond for me. My hair was being unreasonable due to a bad product I had used the day before, but she was patient and extremely knowledgeable. She took what I showed her in inspiration photos and made it look even better. My hair and makeup turned out ABSOLUTELY PERFECT - I couldn’t have asked for more. AND it lasted all day/night on the breezy beach, through many tears of joy. So so happy to have chosen her! Most of the businesses in the area wouldn’t even allow for just bridal makeup without having to purchase a full party package, and our budget didn’t allow for covering everyone’s, so I was very grateful to find Bianca. She for sure nailed it, made me look & feel like a princess, so, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Yanny (pronounced yaw - knee) and I'm a wedding, couples, and storytelling photographer in SWFL. Born and raised in the PNW I like to think that the moody and grey atmosphere from that world has found it's way into my photography style. Candid, raw, full of emotion, and photos that you can "feel" are what I live for! My wife and I live in Sarasota FL with our sweet little boy Moses and our crazy cat Martini. We love the easy-going lifestyle on the gulf coast and whenever I'm free you can find me either exploring a new coffee shop, thrifting, serving at my local church, or spending time with my family!

We hired Yanny for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier! From our initial consultation, they were incredibly professional and attentive, taking the time to understand our vision for the day. Their communication was excellent, and they were always quick to respond to our questions. He made us and our guests feel completely at ease, and has a real talent for capturing candid moments. Every picture perfectly captures the happiness and romance of our wedding day. We can't wait to cherish and show off her photos forever!

I had met with at least 10 other florists in the Sarasota area, and I was really struggling to find someone that fit our vision and was respectful of our budget. But when I met Eva, I instantly felt at ease. She was extremely responsive, kind, and patient. She took the inspiration photos that I sent her and brought our vision to life. Eva is incredibly detail-oriented and went above and beyond to create the energy and atmosphere that we were hoping for. She even went to the lengths of ordering specific votive glasses & bouquet vases that fit with our aesthetic, brought extra florals for detail photos, and added an extra rose to dress up our cake, all out of the kindness of her heart. I was blown away. Not only was she easy to work with, but she was very open to feedback and collaboration. Our wedding florals were nothing short of breathtaking. The arrangements were elegant, romantic, and unique. The energy and love that Eva put into making every detail perfect was incredible, and we couldn't have been happier with the final result. We would highly recommend Design by Schell to any couple looking for a florist who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. Throughout our wedding planning process, Eva was one of our favorite vendors! She was spectacular!

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Ellenton, FL

Baking has been my passion since 6th grade- so much so that I left my corporate job behind to bake for love stories full time! I specialize in custom wedding cakes, interactive food bars, and an upcoming dessert trailer experience with full staffing starting this December. My mission? Making whatever desserts you've been dreaming of to ensure your big day is 100% you.

We had such a great experience with Lace Makes Cakes for our elopement desserts. From the start, the owner was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, making the whole process feel seamless. We ordered a 9 inch heart shaped cake and 12 white rose cupcakes for 150 plus delivery, and the quality exceeded what we paid for. The cake was as delicious as it looked, and the cupcakes were stunning with their shimmer dust and pearl details. She even delivered everything to our Airbnb on Anna Maria Island, which meant one less thing to stress about on our special day. We would absolutely recommend Lace Makes Cakes to any couple looking for beautiful desserts without the headache.
