Alex and I did get married in 2020 in Sarasota, but a lot has changed since then (we weren’t even doing this as a job) but we will tell you what vendors we loved. 100 weddings later, we really do have the best connections with our vendors. Getting to catch up with them and be inspired by their work is often the highlight of our day!

Here’s a list of people who make our faces light up when we see them on the vendor list, and who we would personally hire if we did everything over again. This list will definitely evolve as we make new connections.

Kay Longstreet

• One of the first vendors we worked with when we went full-time in 2021, and we still love working together now. She’s fun, creative, and works really hard to make her clients happy.

Presley Webb

• We just met her a few months ago and are obsessed with her laid-back demeanor on wedding days and her editing style! Hoping to get to work together much more.

PLANNER

Taylored Affairs

• We have worked together on a number of events and she is super creative with the way she styles her events. Her website says that she specializes in the “fun seekers, art enthusiasts, and the madly in love” are her kind of people.

VENUE

The Ringling Museum, Ca’dzan

• If there’s one venue on our bucket list, it is the Ringling. I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s absolutely stunning every direction you look. There’s nothing better than your vendors being inspired!

Historic Spanish Point, The Sunken Garden

• Our wedding venue!!! So beautiful right on the water, had a nice breeze the whole time, loved our all-outdoor day. We were able to film another wedding there (linked above) the year after, but I can’t wait to be back again! This venue is definitely more underrated, which we also loved.

FLORALS

Sue Ellen Florals (Sarasota)

• Another vendor we hired for our wedding. We still love the florals she made for us, just what I was envisioning and even better!

Flower Smith (Tampa)

• Uhmmm stunning, unique, modern, handcrafted beauties! And a bonus that the florist is so kind and genuine. We loved working with her on the day-of, which is a big deal!

DESSERT

Sweet Doctors

• If you hire anyone, let it be this vendor. We will thank you later and so will all of your guests! Her cupcakes and macarons are UNREAL!
