We Had The Absolute Best Wedding of Our Lives on 11/22/25! Bakers Ranch isn’t just a venue—it’s where dreams become reality, and ours exceeded every expectation. From the very first planning call to the last dance, the entire process was seamless, stress-free, and downright magical. Our lead planners, Cheyenne and Maria, were incredible. They’re the perfect blend of professional expertise and genuine excitement—like having your most thoughtful friends guiding you through the beautiful chaos of wedding planning. Cheyenne went above and beyond for me: I had endless questions and late-night emails (so I wouldn’t forget a single detail!), and she always honored my thought process. She even scheduled extra time for our weekly meetings to make sure every part of my vision was heard and brought to life. Maria matched that energy perfectly—their partnership made everything feel effortless and joyful. The team’s collaboration with our vendors was flawless. We had a large 9-piece band, and they loved the setup and vibe just as much as our guests did. The catering partnership is truly special too—a small, family-owned business that made us feel like family. I’ll never forget the honor of having the caterer owner personally deliver our dinner to my husband and me during the reception. It was such a touching, personal touch. The day itself was perfection. Guests raved for weeks afterward—one even sent my parents a handwritten letter saying it was the best wedding they’d ever attended! The all-around vibe was warm, elegant, and unforgettable—everyone felt the love and care that went into every detail. I was that little girl who dreamt of her wedding day, and Bakers Ranch knocked it out of the park. I couldn’t have dreamt up the perfection that day was. If you’re that couple wanting the most fun, romantic, effortless wedding for both you and your guests, Bakers Ranch is the way to go—and ask for Cheyenne and Maria! If you’re looking for a venue that truly cares, delivers on every promise, and turns your vision into something extraordinary, Bakers Ranch is it. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Cheyenne, Maria, and the entire Bakers Ranch team—you made our day unforgettable! The Kaelin’s.

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.

Kristen and the team at Asimpledreamerco were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication style was easy, caring, and thoughtful. They took the time to truly understand our vision and were willing to work within our budget to bring it to life. On the day of the wedding, Kristen went above and beyond, fixing my dress and making everyone feel so at ease during the portrait session. The final photos are truly special and timeless - we will look back on them for the rest of our lives and always think of how Kristen's talent and motivation made our day so incredibly memorable.

Hi everyone, I’m Carolin, originally from Würzburg, Germany, and now living in Bradenton, Florida. For over 11 years, I’ve been a professional photographer, specializing in weddings, couples, and families. My background in graphic design helps me focus on capturing beauty and detail to create lasting memories. In my free time, I love relaxing at Anna Maria Island’s beaches with my husband Philipp and starting my day with a Chai Latte from Starbucks. I’m also passionate about exploring new cultures and traveling. Can’t wait to get to know you!

We were looking for a photographer who would capture our special day in more than just photos. It was essential for us to have someone who could convey emotions and capture those natural moments. Let’s be honest—typical posed wedding photos aren’t something anyone looks back at later. With Carolin, we hit the jackpot! She is incredibly friendly and works professionally, delivering results that are amazing and worth every euro. We chose the full package with photos and a wedding film, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Our friends and family love the memories of our wonderful day, and the enthusiasm from our guests for Carolin has led to several bookings for more weddings and family photos—what better compliment could she receive? Everything went smoothly from the start. Whenever we had questions or felt uncertain, Carolin was always there to help and listen. Her self-created wedding planner was an incredible aid for our timeline. If you want unique memories of your wedding that are anything but ordinary, Carolin is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for everything and look forward to showing this wonderful video and these photos to our children one day. A heartfelt thank you to Carolin! To all future brides and grooms, you can’t go wrong by choosing her. Book her, and cross that off your to-do list!

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.

Even with getting started at 5:30am, Bianca, Michelle, & Melissa were very upbeat, fun and brought all the good vibes for the morning.

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!

WE HAD A TIME! Queendoq is incredibly versatile and truly understands people from all backgrounds and cultures. She’s very attentive, always reading the room to keep the party going. Her couple entrance introduction is unmatched, her VJing is excellent, and her packages are exactly as described — no hidden fees, no surprises. The booking process is also straightforward, with clear consultations and periodic video meetings to set expectations. She even offered great suggestions when we weren’t sure what direction to take. As a Type A bride, my playlist and song choices were really important to me. There were moments during the reception when I had my husband request a different song because it wasn’t on my list. Rather than getting frustrated, Queendoq handled it gracefully and transitioned seamlessly. If you're looking for a wedding DJ rather than a club-style DJ, Queendoq is the one. My only note would be that there's some room for improvement in transitioning between songs and not letting tracks play for too long — especially when music selection is important to the couple. But the best part? Queendoq is extremely receptive to feedback and open to collaboration. We are so happy we chose her for our big day and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a fun, professional, and culturally-aware DJ who truly cares about making your day unforgettable!

Design by Schell brings creativity and sophistication to every celebration, ensuring seamless execution. Sarasota premier wedding floral designer team transforms spaces into stunning experiences that reflect each client's unique vision with exquisite wedding florals.

Schell truly was my favorite vendor from our wedding day. When I was getting quotes for my wedding day floral vision, all others were egregiously priced except for Schell. That was what initially brought me to her - plus, she was so willing to work within my budget and repurpose my ceremony florals to the reception space! Throughout the entire process of adding/removing flower arrangements, statement pieces - whatever change it was, it was so easy to work with her. Her work, and her beautiful eye for floral design is what ultimately made the decision to work with her, even more amazing! The wedding florals she created for us were above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They were stunning (from every angle). Her eye for design and such specific details makes her the person you should want to trust with your most special day. Thank you so much Schell, you are amazing! I will continue to recommend all my family and friends to use you!

Hi, I’m Em, the owner of Shoreline Sips by Em! I’m a mobile bartender based on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and I’m passionate about creating memorable experiences through handcrafted cocktails and exceptional service. I believe the bar is more than just a place to grab a drink it’s where guests gather, celebrate, and make lasting memories. From intimate beach weddings to large-scale celebrations, I work closely with each couple to create a customized beverage experience that reflects their style and vision. My goal is to take the stress out of bar service so you can focus on enjoying your day with the people you love.

We hired Shoreline Sips by Em LLC to handle our wedding bar and couldn't have been happier with the decision. Em was open and thoughtful throughout our planning process, always responding on time and making sure we felt heard. Her stylish approach to our beverage setup made the day the best it could be, and she truly went above and beyond to take care of our guests. The quality of her work was wonderful, from the creative drink options to the polished presentation of everything. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a bar service that combines professionalism with genuine care.

Capturing the beauty of your big day as a wedding photographer is a dream come true! I have a heart to serve couples and families, each moment fills my heart, as I capture the details that make your day special.

If you’re considering booking Deanna as your wedding photographer- do it!!! She is an incredibly talented photographer, and was amazing to work with! From our first inquiry phone call, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we would be in great hands. When our venue in Sarasota told us they were unable to host us two days before the wedding, we had to pivot and choose a new venue in Tampa. Deanna was so flexible and understanding about the last minute change! Our entire wedding day was seamless thanks to Deanna and her second shooter Miranda. They did an amazing job of knowing exactly which moments to capture, and brought so much creativity and fun to the process as well. It was the perfect combination of planned and candid moments, and we felt so comfortable and happy all day. It couldn’t have been easy to make the last minute change after planning photos around a completely different venue, but you wouldn’t know it from how confident, professional, and well executed everything was! We got our photos only a week after the wedding, which was the best surprise! The photos all look amazing and did a great job of capturing all of our guests, all of our decor, and all the special moments from the day. I had high expectations, and they exceeded all of them! We are so happy with how beautiful our photos turned out, and will cherish them for the rest of our lives, thank you Deanna!!

  • Cakes & desserts

  • Serves Laurel, 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.
