Emma and Frank St. Jude Catholic Church and Sofitel Hotel

 My sweetest Emma and Frank, I had the pleasure to plan these two love birds from the very start of their wedding planning. During our journey god blessed these two with the most adorable little boy. Emma and I worked very closely and she was a true delight and always enjoyed times spent with me. It's so nice when you can work so closely to a couple and gain a friendship out of the planning process and these two did just that. I am happy to have planned and witness this beautiful union. Their nuptials took place at the gorgeous St. Jude Catholic church followed by a vintage-glam reception at the "magnifique" Sofitel Hotel working alongside with Photography by John Paul Soto, Infinity Sound Productions on the ones and two's with a beautiful glow of lighting with a magical pattern wall. Leyani with lace trim linens and Elements and Accents provided the chairs and decor elements. I, incorporated a mix of books, mercury candles, signs and vintage vases from our own inventory to set the feel for our vintage-inspired affair. Sit back and enjoy some of the images from their gorgeous wedding. To view more pics please visit www.johnpaulsoto.com



















These particular images were captured by one of my own team members and these are perfect behind the scenes of what I truly love about my job. I look forward to this particular moment with each of my brides, The moment she arrives before walking down the aisle. I have my alone time with her and yet she is so nervous, I find many ways to calm her down rather its telling her a joke or just giving her my most heart-felt advice and I have a few tricks I use to help them calm those nerves that I am known for. This is what makes my job not a job but a true passion.

    Beautiful images!! I have been to Sofitel Hotel several times. It’s a very beautiful hotel. For me it’s a perfect location for vows. I am also getting married by the end of this year and I will definitely book this hotel for my wedding reception party.

Jaynie and Jeff's- Tamara & Co wedding 4-19-14

Image
It's always an honor when one of my past students contacts me and wants me to assist and coordinate with their wedding plans. Jaynie was one of my past students at MDC while she was studying for Event Management she took my Wedding Planner course back in 2008. Throughout the years we have stayed in contact and when she reached out to me last year to coordinate her wedding, I was more than honored. Jaynie and Jeffry had a Tiffany themed wedding well (Tamara & Co.) Is what we will call it. We put together detail by detail and vendor by vendor in less than a year. We went with an all white wedding theme with bling elements and just added accents of the Tiffany blue with the stationary decor elements provided by non other than the brilliant Gretel with the Invitation Stand. The wedding took place at the beautiful Westin Diplomat and we worked closely with Ossy the amazing wedding catering manager on-site. A great vendor line up as well and each put together such an amazing affa...

Xavier and Jessica- Siempre Scruggs- Villa Woodbine

Image
You can say "It all started at the Ball Park" Jessica grew up going to baseball games with her family. She was a senior in College and in the brink of graduating but came home to West Palm Beach, Florida to visit her family. You see Jessica spent a lot of time at the ball park with her brother as her brother was a ball player. No spring breaks, summer breaks or even weekends they were always at the Ball Park. So one day back in May of 2011 her friend asked her to go with her to the ball park, Jessica rolled her eyes (yet another game) but as a good friend she went that day. Little did she know her life was about to change... By the Grace of God and good old social media, she and Xavier connected and the rest is History from there. Xavier Scruggs is now a Major League Baseball player whom has played for the St. Louis Cardinals and recently his talents were brought to the Miami Marlins. Jessica Scruggs is a National director in sales so both have fast pace careers. The...

Marilyn & Rob's Wedding

Image
I have to admit Marilyn and I hit it off the second she came to see me to assist her with her wedding plans. Throughout her planning process we built a bond and an everlasting friendship. She is an amazing and kindhearted person and I am so happy she met a man like Rob to share all her good qualities . Marilyn & Robert exchanged wedding vows at Plymouth Congregation Church in Coconut Grove, Fl. Marilyn's wedding dress was simply the most amazing and different Mermaid style dress, I have ever seen. It was very modern and chic and fit Marilyn perfect. The bushing bride arrives to Plymouth to meet Robert at the altar. The very talented Trevor Goldsmith capture this beautiful picture of Marilyn and all her bridesmaid's walking inside the church. Trevor is a master in Modern and sophisticated photography. http://www.trevorgoldsmith.com/ The Reception was held at Rusty Pelican and if there is one thing I love about Rusty Pelican is the spectacular view. Very simply, modern and...
