A Season of Giving
This week, spanning the last days of Hanukkah and leading into Christmas, is the perfect time for our Special Moments Event Planning team to share vital information.
The month has been packed with holiday events hosted by various industry partners and associations. They brought together Tampa Bay wedding professionals from all walks of life for great food and good cheer.
- Tammy, Janice and Melissa at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach.
- Tammy and Janice at the Suncoast Wedding and Event Leaders holiday event at Sunken Gardens.
- Tammy, Janice and Santa at the Hilton Tampa Downtown / Embassy Suites by Hilton holiday event.
- Tammy enjoying some holiday cheer!

It’s fun for people who usually plan and produce events to let our hair down and have some holiday fun.
Wed Society Tampa + St Pete
One of our favorite events this holiday season was a day of giving back. Tammy and Janice spent the day with some of our colleagues from Wed Society Tampa + St. Pete volunteering at Hope Villages of America!
Hope Villages of America
For over 50 years, the Hope Villages of America (formerly RCS Pinellas) mission has been to support our neighbors facing hunger, homelessness, domestic violence, or unmet basic needs.
We assisted in sorting food and packing boxes for local families in need.

While feeding local families and individuals is a massive part of what they do, there is so much more.
We are dedicated to providing Help & Hope across Pinellas County with dignity by feeding the hungry, empowering domestic violence survivors, and supporting the homeless through Food Distribution & Basic Needs, Abuse Services, and Housing Stability.
Every year, Hope Villages of America
- Distributes 6,000,000 pounds of food
- Feeds 150,000 individuals in our communities
- Assists with 3,800 domestic abuse calls
All require over 2,500 volunteers, so we are happy to do our part.
Be sure to check out the Hope Villages of America website to donate, volunteer, or if you are in need.
