If you’re thinking about summer, just keep in mind that it can get hot and rainy, so make sure your venue has a backup plan.

3. How far in advance should I book my wedding venue?
I recommend booking your venue about 12 to 18 months before the big day, especially if you’re tying the knot during peak wedding season. The most popular venues get booked up fast, and securing your spot early gives you peace of mind and more flexibility as you plan.

4. Can I have both my ceremony and reception at the same venue?
Many venues in Tampa and SW Florida offer both ceremony and reception spaces, which can make your life way easier! It’s one less thing to think about when you don’t have to travel between locations. Plus, it keeps the party going smoothly from the moment you say “I do” to when you hit the dance floor.

5. Why should I work with a full-service wedding planner?
A full-service wedding planner is essential to planning your wedding at these venues. They’ll handle all the little (and big!) details—timelines, vendor coordination, and making sure everything runs smoothly—so you can actually enjoy your day and not stress over logistics. They’re there to turn your wedding day vision into reality and ensure it feels effortless, leaving you to focus on what matters most—celebrating with your loved ones!

6. Why should I work with you as my wedding photographer?
