Dorcas was great from the very beginning. She made everything so easy and helped put the whole package together with the catering, bartender, photographer, DJ, and décor. Everyone did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the bartender was fun, the DJ played exactly what we wanted, and Susan made everything look beautiful. It was all set up just the way I pictured it. I felt like I was probably a little difficult because I knew exactly what I wanted and was very straightforward, but Dorcas never made me feel that way. She was always kind and reassuring. The pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included, and I honestly didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Everything went smoothly, and we had such a great time. I would definitely recommend them!

Hello friends! My name is Mariella. I’m 26 year old, a wife, a girl mama, and proud business owner! I have always loved everything about weddings. From start to finish I love the aspect of planning every detail and bringing a vison to life. My passion for this industry has grown throughout the years. After working under another planner my love for this grew even stronger and that's when I decided it's time to start my own business and take this journey at full force. I absolutely love what I do!

My wife, Summer, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2024. This year, I decided to apply to Wish Upon a Wedding in hopes of giving Summer the day she always hoped for. Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit organization that gifts weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal or life-changing illnesses. When they came into our lives, Summer and I were in a season where joy felt complicated and hope looked very different than we imagined. Through Wish Upon a Wedding, we were paired with our wedding planner, Married by Mariella. Mariella donated her time, talent, and heart completely free of charge. What’s important to say is that Mariella didn’t just coordinate our vow renewal. She planned it from the ground up, picking every single vendor and executing the day completely. She took Summer’s vision and brought it to life with care, intention, and deep respect for what this moment meant to us. Every detail reflected the image Summer and I had hoped for, and Mariella carried that responsibility with such grace. She led with compassion and patience, making the process feel calm and supported rather than overwhelming. There was never pressure, never rushing, and never an expectation for us to pretend things were easy. Because of Wish Upon a Wedding and Mariella’s selfless generosity, Summer and I were able to stand together, renew our vows, and experience joy without guilt in the middle of a very heavy season. Mariella and Rachael made this the best day of our lives. We will always be grateful, not just for a beautiful day, but for a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. We could never thank her enough!

I highly recommend Kiersten to help with all of your sweet needs! My husband and I found Kiersten off of a Facebook promo post and from the moment we booked with her, she has been nothing shy of top-tiered service! You can tell that she pours her heart and soul into her cakes and desserts because, in the last few months, she has flourished in the details of her work! We booked her services almost one year ago for our wedding in Sept, but due to a tragic emergency surgery, the wedding had to be postponed very last- minute to December and Kiersten did not waiver in her gratitude towards my husband and I. Her effortless generosity meant a lot to us because, in a moment of stressful events, she brought light to us and did not hesitate to postpone her services back a few weeks. She offered a delightful selection of flavors, fillings, and options. We ordered a two-tiered wedding cake with all the fillings and different flavors, alongside a groom cake that we added at the last minute and both were very decadent and beautifully designed. On our wedding day, the cake was just as we had envisioned. We asked her to keep the wedding cake very sleek, simple, and plain because our florist would be decorating the cake in a very unique way. The intricate floral details and elegant design were absolutely stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better centerpiece for our reception. And the best part? The cake tasted just as good as it looked! I cannot recommend Kakes By Kiersten highly enough. She truly made our wedding experience sweeter and unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding cake that combines artistry, flavor, and exceptional service, look no further! Thank you, Kiersten, for being a part of our special day!

Hailey Beard Events is a Certified Wedding and Event planning company based in Lakeland, Florida, serving Central and South Florida, as well as destinations worldwide. With over 16 years of experience in the events and hospitality industry, we specialize in wedding management tailored for the Boss Babe Brides. We're not just your planners; we're your added best friend throughout the journey, ensuring that your wedding day dreams become a reality.

Hailey and her team were truly exceptional, and hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our February wedding. Planning from Ohio while hosting our celebration in Miami could have been overwhelming, but they stepped in with such calm confidence that the entire process felt easy. They took over communication with our vendor team, reviewed contracts to ensure we met every requirement, and were always our eyes and ears on the ground when we couldn’t be there in person. One of the biggest gifts was their incredible rental collection — being able to source all of our décor directly through them made planning from afar so much simpler, and everything they set up on the day was absolutely gorgeous. They handled every detail with so much care: setting up all the décor so our families didn’t have to do a thing, picking up our desserts and bridal‑party lunch, and keeping the entire day running smoothly from start to finish. They also went above and beyond in ways that truly showed their heart. When one of our guests’ shoes broke, Hailey quietly fixed it so they could get back to enjoying the night. And when it came time to bustle my dress, she was endlessly patient while gently instructing my very enthusiastic (and very tipsy) bustle crew — turning what could have been chaos into a moment we still laugh about. At the end of the night, they even handed us a “go bag” of food, which was the sweetest, most thoughtful touch after a whirlwind day. We absolutely loved working with Hailey and her team and would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They made our day beautiful, seamless, and full of joy.

I started photography back in high school as a hobby, but I really found my passion as an adult. I was working in the legal field for a couple of years when I had my son in August of 2023. I wanted to be home with him, but still be able to provide financially. I picked up photography again from there, and easily saw how much I loved it and wanted to make it my career. I love, love. Being able to see it every day and make so many people feel beautiful, is truly why I love my job.

The Best Experience If you’re looking for a photographer who makes taking photos feel comfortable, natural, and actually easy—look no further! She has such a way of making you feel completely at ease, even when your man absolutely hates taking pictures. She made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and effortless, and somehow managed to capture the sweetest, most genuine moments without anything feeling forced. We are SO happy with our photos and even happier that the process was such a great experience. We have them hanging at home, in our office and at families homes. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a husband/boyfriend who would rather be literally anywhere else than in front of a camera!

YellaIncc.LLC is an absolute pleasure to work with for each wedding we host at our venue. She is always very communicative throughout the entire process, providing great follow-up and ensuring we're always informed. The quality of her work and value are exceptional - She is punctual, engages well with our couples and their guests, and always goes the extra mile to create special moments they didn't even know they wanted. We especially loved working with AJ, who consistently brings creative ideas to the table and makes each couple's special day even more memorable. We highly recommend YellaIncc.LLC for any couples planning their wedding.

I am a wedding, engagement, and boudoir photographer with a focus on timeless, bright, high-contrast images. I have great attention to detail and have more than 10 years of experience. I offer a wide range of wedding photography services- from elopements and engagement shoots to destination weddings. I create a custom quote for each client, honoring their needs and their budget. I offer the option to add a second photographer. After your wedding, you will get a preview and, a few weeks later, a beautiful online gallery with individually edited images. Amanda Saleh is a wedding photography company based in Lakeland, Florida.

My fiancé used Amanda as our secret engagement photographer. She coordinated with him from the time he reached out all the way to when she was in place the moment of. She will travel for shoots and do anything she can to make your day run smoothly. Not only were her photos amazing, she returned our sneak peeks in record time! We were nervous since we’ve never done a professional shoot before but she came ready with poses and ideas to help ease our anxiety. We are in love with the end results and highly recommend her!

I have always loved love and took every opportunity to surround myself with wedding culture. I believe that every person is made in the image of Christ, and I want your photos to reflect that, I want your love to be palpable through my screen and to feel uniquely you. Located in Central Florida, I have served multiple couples all across the state. I am just dying to do your wedding and to be with you through every life event after big or small! If you are looking for a photographer who will bestie with you on your big day, carry your train, and pray over you when you are feeling nervous, let's just say it.. I think I'm your girl!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We booked a couples session with Jada, and from start to finish, the experience was incredible. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, gave us just enough direction without making anything feel forced, and somehow managed to capture moments that felt so natural and us. Not only are her photos absolutely stunning, but she's also one of the sweetest, easiest people to work with. She has such a calming presence and an eye for all the little details that make each image special. We had so much fun during our session, and the final gallery completely exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for someone who is incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely cares about creating a great experience, I can't recommend her enough. We'll treasure these photos for years to come!
