Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses
Florida destination weddings along the Gulf of Mexico and all over the Tampa Bay area are something our Special Moments Event Planning team works with all the time. For some couples the beach and the warm waters of the gulf are their life, it might be where they spent their summers growing up or evoke…
A Garden Wedding Banquet
The Tampa Garden Club was the perfect setting for Nina and Jonathan’s simple yet elegant wedding. It was filled with personalization and detail, and our Special Moments Event Planning team was excited to be part of their day. Nina looked beautiful in her form-fitting lace wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline and flared skirt. She…
Two Heads Are Better Than One
Our Special Moments Event Planning team hears from couples all the time that “our venue told us we didn’t need to hire a wedding planner.” Unfortunately, too often when they are telling us this they have been struggling with wedding planning for months on end, and sometimes from out of state. The truth is that…
It’s All About The Wedding Cake!
We have seen wedding cakes evolve quite a bit in our fifteen years at Special Moments Event Planning. We have seen big cakes and small cakes for the couple to cut for a photo. We saw an upswing in cupcakes and donut cakes, and (thankfully) a swing back toward delicious, beautifully designed wedding cakes. Our…
Breathing a Sigh
Ali and Mike were introduced to our Special Moments Event Planning team about six weeks before their wedding by Gabro Event Services. They were working with them to provide all of the lighting, floral décor, tables, chairs, linen, and their amazing Chuppah. Getting married at the historic St Petersburg Shuffleboard Club with an outdoor cocktail…
The Story Of My Life
Lauren, Max, and Lauren’s mother who was doing most of the planning for their Clearwater Beach wedding were referred to our Special Moments Event Planning team by Laurie at A Piece of Cake. Planning a destination wedding from out of state had them overwhelmed, to say the least. We loved working with them to piece…
Here Comes The Love of Your Life
To say that working with MaryEllen and Kenny was a pleasure might just be the understatement of the year. You see, theirs was the second wedding where our Special Moments Event Planning team worked with MaryEllen’s family. And now they just hired us for wedding number three for later this year; the last of the…
Hey Mr. DJ
Our Special Moments Event Planning team fields questions from our clients about all areas of weddings, planning and even some personal matters. But, recently we have had a lot of couples asking us about music. Specifically, they have been asking about songs for their first dance and for parent dances. You can’t imagine our surprise…
Pink and White Harborside Wedding
Our Special Moments Event Planning team loved working with Vicka and Blake on their beautiful wedding at Harborside Chapel and Innisbrook Golf and Spa Resort. We actually worked with Blake’s family for his sister’s wedding, so there was already a great connection there. The Harborside Chapel was the perfect setting for this soft elegant color…
I See The Light
As much as our Special Moments Event Planning team loves the scene in Tangled where Rapunzel sees all of the sky lanterns taking off, some things only happen in fairytales. The truth is that most municipalities and wedding venues do not allow the launch of sky lanterns because of the risk of fire. They are…
Reuse and Give Back
Earlier this week, in honor of Earth Day, our Special Moments Event Planning team focused on sustainability in weddings. From Invitation suites on recycled paper to local, seasonal, and organic food at your wedding reception, there are numerous ways to make your wedding more environmentally friendly. Wedding flowers can be a big piece of…
Truly Special Moments
Our Special Moments Event Planning team recently had the pleasure of working with Alyssa and Anthony on their Clearwater Beach wedding. They are a couple who are very much in love, incredibly sweet and very much devoted to the Lord. Their beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony at the Clearwater Beach Library and Recreation Complex overlooked the…
