There are not enough words to describe how wonderful my experience was. Mark, Tina, Cristina & Scott did an outstanding job taking care of my husband and I on our special day. Very kind , attentive, & detailed people to work with. I am extremely satisfied with EVERYTHING. It was perfect. I highly recommend this company for beach weddings.
You all deserve more than a 5 star review, you deserve a million star review! Thank you all so so so much!!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am that I came across Florida Sun Weddings in my own search when planning my wedding. Everything was more beautiful than I could imagine!!! Planning a wedding in Florida while living in Philadelphia one would think would be difficult… not with the constant assistance and support from Tina. She was amazing from start to finish. Always available via phone or text whenever my questions would pop in my head. From the start of planning on Easter Sunday, I inquired and immediately she responded… on Easter!!! She was beyond helpful with venue searches to even obtaining a beach wheelchair for my soon to be father in law. At times she was like my therapist as I randomly just vented about the quirky things I was dealing with. No words can express how caring, thoughtful, and amazing she truly is. All of my guests raved about Scott our officiant. Many thought we’ve known each other before because he was relaxed, funny and everything seemed so intimate and personal… we met as I walked down the sandy aisle.
I highly recommend Tina, Scott, and Florida Sun Weddings if you want to plan a wedding with no stress and feel like you are one of their own family members and not just a contract.
Jenna & Cole
I cannot thank Tina and Florida Sun Weddings enough for giving my now-husband and I the wedding of our dreams! They were kind, incredibly easy to work with, and set up the most amazing ceremony for us. I could not be happier with their work and how our day turned out. They went above and beyond to give us the day that we wanted and took so much stress out of my wedding planning, our wedding day, and the logistical details after the wedding day. When the County had a small mix up with our marriage license paperwork, Florida Sun Weddings stepped in and handled the entire situation for us so that we could relax and enjoy our honeymoon. I could not recommend this group more!
I highly recommend Tina, Scott, and Florida Sun Weddings if you want to plan a wedding with no stress and feel like you are one of their own family members and not just a contract.

Where do I even begin!? From the very beginning Tina was so informative and helpful with any single question we had while planning our wedding. She was able to ensure that all of our questions were always answered and that we were satisfied with everything that we chose for a wedding. As the bride I was totally fine before walking down that aisle thanks to Tina for being there and comforting me. Throughout the entire ceremony everything was very well organized, professional,The entire team was so patient with us and the officiator was such a funny man and he did a wonderful job. Before our wedding Tina was also very informative on how the process works on picking up our marriage license & changing my name to my marriage name. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to get married on the beach. Words do no justice as to how beautiful the ceremony and our wonderful pictures came out. Thanks so much guys you made our special day perfect!

If you are looking to get married on a beach in Florida absolutely check out Florida Sun Weddings. They did an amazing job! We worked with Tina and she kicked butt! Very responsive and helpful and I loved her take charge attitude. We had a large group that needed a lot of guidance and she handled it flawlessly. The officiant they used, Scott, was also wonderful. We got so many compliments on his service. I also thought the package was very fairly priced. I did do research on other places and cost was one of my deciding factors. This was well worth the value.

What do I recommend about Florida Sun Weddings? …EVERYTHING. There is absolutely no way we would ever have been able to have the wedding we’ve always dreamed about in FL, from OH, without Tina and the rest of the FSW crew. From answering every text message/phone call at all hours, getting us hooked up with all the incredible vendors (see photos attached, Imely Photography & Video), to making sure my husband had an umbrella and water the day of the wedding because it was so hot (and we may have had a passing out incident the night before at the rehearsal)…they were always there and always on top of things. My husband and I, and my family, have NOTHING but amazing things to say about Tina and Florida Sun Weddings. 100000/10 would recommend.

Tina and her crew at Florida Sun Weddings were fantastic and easy to work with! Tina was always available and she had great suggestions to make everything perfect for our special day! From our photographer Cristina, Victorian Bride for hair and makeup, Fins at Sharky’s for our reception, Sue Ellen’s Floral Boutique, Tina made all of arrangements seamless and took care of anything we needed help with! We are so happy to have found Florida Sun Weddings and would recommend them to everyone!!! We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day absolutely PERFECT.

Tina was amazing to work with. I’m from Indiana and had her as my wedding planner and she was awesome! she kept in contact always and answered all my questions and have me great advise. She also provided me with name and numbers for all my vendors and from being out of town, didn’t know what to expect, but everyone she suggested was awesome and I highly recommend her and her company to help with anything you need on your special day.

Tina and her staff at FL Sun Weddings handled our destination wedding flawlessly. We had 100+ people fly in from Ohio and Texas for a beach wedding at our Condominium complex, and Tina made the planning and execution an absolute breeze for my wife and I. The logistics of being from out of town should have been a challenge; however, not in this case. Communication was frequent and any all concerns and questions were addressed, checked, and then double and triple checked. In addition, the wedding was 7/1/21 at 5pm; however, we had to play musical chairs with afternoon storms, and Tina and her staff were able to pivot from a 5pm start to a 7pm start which worked well with sunset, dodged the weather, and was actually a better time. I rate 5 of 5 stars, and would highly recommend. Thanks again Tina and staff! The pics, videos, drone footage, and overall feedback is 110%+.

Florida Sun Weddings (FSW) is a family owned wedding planning team. Mark, Tina, and Cristina were all a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They are knowledgeable which allowed my wife and I to have a stress free wedding day. They were flexible which allowed us to have a unique experience. They were professional, responsive, accommodating…I can’t say enough about them. After my wife and I had to postpone our local wedding twice we decided to elope in Venice, Florida. We worked with FSW to have a sunset wedding that went beautifully. FSW met all deadlines and were always professional. Tina recommended the place where we made our dinner reservations after our ceremony. They are well known in the community. Tell any vendor that you are working with Tina and you are instantly treated like family! Tina kept in contact with me from the time we got off the plane. She helped to make sure we didn’t forget rings and explained the marriage license process. She made sure she stayed up to date on COVID restrictions and rules. Mark helped make my wife and I feel comfortable. He was willing to throw flower petals when asked on the spot to make a great photo. Cristina is a talented photographer and really understands the sun and lighting. She worked with us from our first look until the sun went down. Her shots are dramatic and really capture the moment. You cannot go wrong with FSW. We are glad we did!

Our experience with Florida Sun Weddings was amazing! From the beginning, they answered any and all questions and accommodated our every need. Tina, answered every email and text message, quickly and always had a solution readily available. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Mark, was wonderful as well, he would also help with any questions and made our wedding day stress free, even when we had a couple of things come up that made it difficult for them. They took it in stride and didn’t miss a beat. Sigrid was an amazing help. We had a unique situation, where we were doing a double wedding and my husband’s brother’s wedding was first, so I didn’t want to wear my dress for their wedding. Sigrid, found me a clean area to change and helped carry all my belongings back to where I would be walking down the aisle. I honestly, can’t say enough great things about the team at Florida Sun Weddings. They recommended wonderful vendors for us, that also exceeded our expectations. Florida Sun Weddings team is truly in the business of making wedding days beautiful and enjoyable. We highly recommend them and their vendors, for any and all wedding needs. Beyond thrilled with our experience!!!

The Florida Sun Weddings Team are masters of their craft. They’ve been in the business a long time and they run like a well-oiled machine. They are always available and promptly responsive. Every single detail is held in mind and coordinated with every other detail with an ease that only comes from years of experience and a genuine dedication to excellence. Hours before our wedding ceremony, the public beach site flooded from the Hurricane Nate storm surge. FSW extracted our 100 chairs plus archway etc. from the inundated sand, ferried it all for many yards across a growing 2-foot deep pool, packed and drove it down the key, and got us set up for an on-time ceremony at another site further down the beach. If that’s not a miracle, I don’t know what is.

Jose and I had to plan our wedding in 4 to 3 months due to my father being very ill and put in hospice at home… My dream wedding was to have it at the beach. I contacted a few beach wedding planners but when I spoke to Tina and Mark I had no reason to look at other planners… Tina has been an amazing person without knowing me, with her support, dedication and most of all the care she showed me and still showing me… My wedding could not be more perfect due to the outstanding service. From keeping track of the weather days ahead, the beach set up, the music, the location they pic for pictures, they are Amazing, Mark is AWESOME. He keeps you posted the day before, they have options just in case it rains. When you say you want reliable, efficient, coordination, set up, music, guidance, price and care, you have it all at Florida Sun Weddings with Tina & Mark. They are amazing people who really care. I am so HAPPY and I thank God I had them do my wedding. It is unbelievable of how many likes & how my wedding pictures are all over social media because of how beautiful my wedding was… It was a Bride’s and Groom’s dream come true. I love them and cannot thank them enough. My family and friends are amazed. It was stunning!

I don’t even know where to start and hopefully I can write this without crying. This was the most beautiful yet stressful experience of my life. I was online trying to find event promo jobs for my god daughter in Florida and this advertisement popped up saying “hey get married in Florida!” I had already been looking for a location and everything that was nice in New York was so expensive! So I figured why not save a tremendous amount of money and have a wedding slash mini-honeymoon in Florida. I made my list of companies and called… all of them rude and then I ran across Mrs. Tina! Such a beautiful heart and professional angel! She helped me from start to finish, she’d text me to see how everything was coming along and if I need to add or take away anything. And even when my own Pastor canceled on me 3 hours before the wedding and my photographer never showed, she stepped in and found 2 more angels to complete the task: their own pastor, Don and photographer Cristina Gebel. Once the music started and I began to walk on the sand toward the love of my life everything was PERFECT! I couldn’t of asked for Tina to add anything else or do anything else. She worked so hard and made sure everything was so, so while i was crying my eyes out! My husband and I thank her from the bottom of our hearts for making our fairytale come true.

I chose Florida Sun Weddings for my ceremony on Siesta Key Beach – and I’m so glad I did! Tina, Sigrid and team did a WONDERFUL job! I got engaged in December 2015 and my now husband and I knew we wanted to have our wedding in the summer. Once we decided on Florida (I have family in Sarasota) I did a lot of research on places for ceremonies, different companies for wedding packages and when I landed on Sun Weddings, I had a feeling their team was my best choice – and I was right! Tina was very responsive and genuinely cared about my planning process and decisions from day one. Before I had even signed anything or gave them a deposit Tina was there to answer all of my questions. I live in Los Angeles and my sister (Matron of Honor) and my mother live in Sarasota. They met with Tina and went through the décor choices, set-up, timing and everything. (We chose“White Elegance”) Every week leading up to the wedding day Tina and Sigrid made sure everything was taken care of and reminding us of all the details – getting our marriage license, our guests, transportation, etc. On our wedding day, July 29, 2016, it was storming in Sarasota. Of course, I was nervous because our ceremony was going to be on Siesta Key Beach. My sister called Tina, and of course Sun Weddings was on top of it, watching the weather and reassured us that it was going to be clear on the beach. Once I arrived in the limo, Tina was there waiting, jumped in the limo with a big smile, and let me know how and what was about to take place. She sent my Matron of Honor down the sandy aisle. When I got out of the limo, and I saw my guests and the set-up, (and my husband to be) it took my breath away. Everything was gorgeous! It looked like a magazine photoshoot! Tina was right there by my side!

Florida Sun Weddings staff, Thank you so much for everything. Our beach wedding was more than we ever dreamed of. Without your direction and assistance we wouldn’t have had such a beautiful ceremony. Thank you again for everything. We will definitely recommend you to everyone.

This family team is truly fantastic to work with! After initially contacting a few different planners they were quickly number one based on their responsiveness, knowledge and willingness to work with our needs from my very first point of contact. I worked with them over nearly four months from Ohio for our Florida beach wedding; for every contact and question they responded immediately, and always had a solution or suggestion. We were lucky enough to meet them in person when we were in the area about 6 weeks prior to our big day, and that only assured me I had made the correct decision. Each one of the team – Sigrid, Tina, Mark, and Cristina, our photographer, were so very pleasant and accommodating every single step of the way. They provided a wonderful officiant (Dr. Don Nations) whom we were also able to contact ahead of time. He solicited information from us and customized the ceremony to make it unique for us and our family. When we had issues with the amount of beach at our chosen location they checked ahead of time, and we decided to move it just in case. However, the day of the wedding they were gracious enough to check our first choice location one more time …. because they knew the spot was special to us. They determined it was possible and were able to set up exactly where and how we initially desired. Our intimate and memorable wedding could not have been more perfect thanks to this extremely talented and professional team and if it is at all in their power, they will make your request a reality. That they are a family team just made it a bit more special to us since that is something we value so highly. Truly kind, classy, and professional people. You simply cannot go wrong choosing this team!

I thought I would just post the email I sent to thank Florida Sun Weddings as it is as truthful as a review gets. They really are wonderful to work with! “I just want to thank you all, an incredible family of planners that make things happen, for your hand in the best night of our lives. The wedding was beyond perfect and it wouldn’t have happened without your direction, assistance and impeccable skills. Chris and I can’t thank you enough for the hard work and time you invested to ensure our day was wonderful. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! You have no idea how much I truly appreciate it We will forever recommend you! Thank you again for making our wedding so flawless and memorable!

My husband and I used Sun Weddings to plan our wedding, which took place on June 20th, 2015. We started working with Tina in September of 2014. From the beginning, she was always a sweet person to talk too. Tina consistently reminded us that this was our day and we could incorporate whatever our hearts desired. When things came up, such as construction on the Siesta Key parking lot, we were immediately notified and provided with an immediate alternative with colored maps and detailed instructions. When we requested to make changes to the number of chairs and the original ceremony setup, Tina was very understanding, considerate and accommodating. Our wedding went off without a hitch from the planning to the ceremony setup, and even the hospitality of the ladies at Sun Weddings. Great benefits: * If you can’t reach the wedding planner at the office you can always reach them at home using their cell phone number they provided. * You can pay for your wedding in installment with a small deposit. * The wedding planners will bend over backward and go above and beyond for you on your special day. * Sun Weddings will recommend other vendors * Sun Weddings will download your wedding music for you. It was such a pleasure working with you ladies. Thank you again for all you did to make my day special.

What an amazing wedding planner!! Sigrid did everything for us. Not only did she always answer our e-mails, day, night, holidays and so on, but she really made us feel so special. She had an answer to all our questions and a solution to our “problems”/challenges. We really felt like she saw us, and she truly made our wedding OURS!! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner!

My husband and I got married on Sept 12th, 2020. Prior to the wedding, due to Covid my nerves about the possibilities of having to cancel were so high. Tina was my sanity the entire time. We would talk often since my husband and I reside in another state, we had no idea how Florida was truly doing as the media blows everything out of proportion! Tina would give me updates regularly. She would call me just to calm my nerves because she knew I was stressed about the day. She came up with plans just in case. When we got closer to the day, the entire Florida Sun Weddings team was amazing. Weather was somewhat rough since we were in the rainy season. Tina watched the radar like a hawk down to the very minute. It was raining all morning so she adjusted the time slightly which wasn’t a problem for me if it meant no rain. Tina literally timed it perfectly! Somehow the sky’s cleared and I walked down the aisle to blue sky’s with zero rain! She helped make the wedding so unforgettable with all my favorite colors and timed everything perfectly to the music. You can tell that the entire team genuinely care about their customers and will do everything possible to make that day perfect and special. The team did so much and even came up with a backup plan in case it did rain! I can’t thank FSW enough for making our day perfect! Tina, I can honestly say I couldn’t have done this without you! You are amazing with customers and after all this I consider you a friend! You have been absolutely amazing and I am so glad we went with Florida Sun Weddings for making our special day possible!

There is a reason you won’t find anything below a 5-star review with this team. Every aspect of everything they do is perfection. We got engaged almost two years before our wedding date, and they were in constant contact with us – suggesting vendors that were well trusted, helping us with any questions we had, and all around easing our minds. They were always quick to reply and happy to help. I used someone from every category they suggested – from hair and make-up to reception, to flowers – and was equally impressed by those as well. We were able to be at ease for our wedding day knowing it was in excellent hands with this extremely professional group. If we renew our vows down the road, I know exactly where we will be going!! If you’re looking around and debating, my suggestion is to look no further. I’m sure you will be 100% thrilled just like we were. Only wonderful things with this team! You made us very happy!

We live in another state, so I was unsure as to how to go about having a beach wedding in Florida. FSW did practically EVERYTHING for us! They needed only the songs and our marriage license! They had someone do my hair and makeup, picked the perfect location on the beach for my style, and the ceremony was set up beautifully and simply! It was so easy and stress-free! This KY girl had the wedding she always dreamed of!

We absolutely LOVED our experience with Florida Sun Weddings! Tina was phenomenal from start to finish. She answered our calls and questions any time as we planned our January wedding from Missouri. It was beyond impressive how the Florida Sun Weddings Team could take our ideas and turn them into a picture perfect ceremony. We can’t put into words the remarkable service and friendliness from everyone. Our wedding was truthfully the greatest day of our lives and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. You made it better than any of our dreams!

Competence, Reliability, Punctuality, Prompt Communication, Extraordinary Organization, Empathy, the list simply is never ending and these folks are simply amazing in every aspect. They did my wedding in Siesta Key last month and having Tina there made me feel like I was taken care of. This company is like no other, and I would love to get married all over again! Thanks Florida Sun Weddings for being there on one of the most important days of my life.

When my fiance and I finally decided on Siesta Key as our wedding destination, I was convinced we could plan the whole thing alone from Ohio. With two months to go until wedding day, I was feeling overwhelmed. The details of the wedding we envisioned just weren’t coming together. My fiance contacted the Chamber of Commerce and they recommended a few wedding planners. I was very skeptical, but after talking to a couple of planners, I KNEW I had to hire Tina and her team. She put my mind and heart at ease. She assured me that our unique wedding ideas would be executed just like we had envisioned over the past 6 months, and that she would personally make sure of it. She made herself available via text, phone, or email. Text worked best for me because I could shoot one over to her in the middle of my work day, and she responded nearly instantly. The day before our wedding, we delivered a bunch of ceremony “props” and she didn’t even flinch. She assured me it would get done and it was going to look beautiful. We pulled up on our big day, and everything was PERFECT! After coming home and watching the video, we realized that Mark (Tina’s brother), tried so hard to make sure this one last detail was in place, but the wind just wasn’t cooperating. But seeing that video and the multiple times he tried to set the detail in place, solidified how detail oriented the team is, as well as customer satisfaction is their priority. We loved them, and we HIGHLY recommend them to help you plan your wedding. I could NOT have executed the final details without Tina.

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Florida Sun Weddings! Communication was very thorough and everyone was so quick to respond to any and all questions we had. This was a destination wedding for us so we were anxious as to how everything would come together; however, the planning by the FSW team was beyond exceptional! They had everything in place and made our wedding day a breeze! We can’t say thank you enough for helping make our wedding day so beautiful!

Words cannot express how happy we were with Florida Sun Weddings! I planned our wedding 1,000 miles away from Sarasota and am a bit of a control freak. Sun Weddings was VERY quick with their responses throughout the entire experience! Tina even repaired a chandelier that I had mailed to them for the ceremony! Everything went very smoothly and the communication was amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend Sun Weddings to anyone!

Tina, Sigrid and their team are priceless! Their attention to detail, quick and quality of communication, as well as their final product can’t be rated high enough! We enjoyed working with Tina to plan our wedding from over 1,000 miles away, she answered my questions in a timely manner and never overwhelmed me with information. She was very flexible in the package I chose for our ceremony and graciously let me pick and choose pieces. The Sun Weddings team ensured the smoothness of our ceremony, pictures taking, and most importantly a moment to freshen up before hitting the party! I also choose to use her sister-in-law as our photographer and can’t tell you how impressed I was that she came up for before pictures, took numerous creative photos, photos that I requested, as well as some reception pictures after. They truly went above and beyond and we will remember them and our perfect day forever!!

What can I say, from the start of thinking of getting married, Sigrid and Tina were amazing! Their communication was outstanding. I live in the UK and emailed them regularly and they responded straight away. We met up with them when we arrived in Sarasota and it was very straightforward, very organized. We used Christina as our photographer and she was amazing! She took some fantastic pictures. I am so happy with everything Florida SunWeddings did for us to make it a very special day.

I want to thank all the people involved in the process of planning and organization of my wedding (Sigrid, Tina, Cristina, Linda, Scott, etc.) That was so fantastic! I’ll keep it in memory for all my life like one of the most wonderful days! You so professional, kind and well organized! I am ready to recommend you to all my friends.
April & Justin

My mother and I were certain we could plan and execute my beach wedding on our own. We’re both no fuss ladies and since our venue was all-inclusive we thought it’d be easy. All I needed was a florist, a DJ, and a photographer! My fiancé presented to us the team at Sun Weddings and though Mom was against initially, I couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Tina and Sigrid. There are so many things necessary to host a successful wedding event outside of hiring vendors that I was really clueless about, or thought, “oh, that can wait…” But with their vast knowledge and experience guiding me, the Sun Weddings team helped me take care of all those details long before the big day arrived and nothing was left undone. Tina and Sigrid led the way without being pushy, guided us into every decision with confidence, and I really was the most relaxed I could’ve been on my wedding day; it was a dream trusting these two ladies to be in charge and I wasn’t bothered by anything. We had such a fabulous time at our ceremony and reception, and can tell you my husband and I would’ve had ZERO fun if Sun Weddings hadn’t been there to coordinate it all. Tina and Sigrid are really top notch; we were able to enjoy the party, visit with our guests, and seamlessly steal away to get all those ‘must have’ shots with the photographer, and jump right back into celebrating! Justin and I were able to really be present in every moment of our wedding day and are left with the most incredible memories- it wasn’t the blur you so often hear about, and I know Tina and Sigrid are entirely responsible for that. In the short time we worked with them, I feel like we had known them forever and am so grateful to count them among our friends now. Thank you once again for an unforgettable beach wedding!

When my fiancé and I decided to get married in Venice, FL, the other side of the state for us, we were very apprehensive about how we would handle all of the details. We knew we wanted to have a beach wedding and initially had no intentions whatsoever to hire a Wedding Planner. While doing some research, we came across Florida Sun Weddings’ site and decided to meet with them during a visit to Venice with my parents. From our first meeting with Sigrid & Tina we knew we had to work with them. During our initial meeting, they walked us through a planning checklist, recommended vendors they have worked with in the past, shared photos of the many weddings they had planned to help with ideas and even offered many suggestions on areas we could save money. We left the meeting so excited. Each of the vendors they recommended was outstanding. Each said, “Sigrid said we should be expecting you” when we first met. We felt as though we were receiving special treatment, and we were. Communication with Sigrid and Tina was the best I’ve experienced in dealing with any company. If we had a question, a response would come immediately. And it was not uncommon for them to check in with us to make sure we were on track with various tasks. People talk about their wedding day being a blur. Ours was not, and it was because of all the planning & coordinating Sigrid and Tina had done. Experience counts! My wife and I actually got to enjoy our wedding day and spend time with our families and guests. If you are considering whether or not to hire a wedding planner, you should. It is a wise investment. Once you decide to, hiring Sigrid & Tina and their team is the easy decision. That is a promise we are willing to stake our reputations on.

The team of Florida Sun Weddings did an awesome job!!! They answered all our emails as quick as possible (maximum a few hours – even with the time shift to Switzerland), absolutely professional! For all of our questions and requests, they had an answer or a clue that was just how we wanted it. They were absolutely flexible in every step of the planning process and the realization!! All the other vendors they recommended to us (wedding dinner, flowers, hair/makeup and limousines) were perfect too. Great job!!! All over the entire wedding process, it was the best decision of my wife and me to choose Florida Sun Weddings as our wedding planner!!!! Thanks, Florida Sun Weddings to make our special day absolutely perfect!!
Christy & Tony
When we decided that we wanted to have a destination wedding in Florida, we searched online to determine our options. Of all the wedding planners that we came across, Sun Weddings stood out the most. We were drawn in because of their well put together website and amazing photos, and that they were family operated. They were also within our budget and appeared to have pricing that was comparable to other planners. After meeting with Tina for the first time, we knew we had made the right choice. She was professional but also made us feel like family, we were instantly comfortable and felt like we were in good hands. In the year that we spent planning for our wedding, Tina and Sigrid were amazing, they guided us through everything and were available every time we had questions, we always had a response from them right away. They were familiar with so many resources and vendors in the area and were able to give us great referrals to fit our planning needs. When it came time for our wedding and the weather refused to cooperate, Sun Weddings was one step ahead and had already ensured that there was a plan B in place, we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Even though we didn’t get to have our wedding on the beach, the indoor space they prepared was beautiful! They made sure everything was perfect and that everything flowed smoothly. They made sure all of our vendors and everyone involved was on the same page. Cristina was equally as amazing as our photographer, she even went out of her way to make sure we had beach photos after our beach wedding was moved inside, meeting us on another day. They took care of the processing of our marriage certificate and provided us with the official copy and several certified copies within two days. We were also able to get our photos back before we left Florida, and they were amazing! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sun Weddings and would highly recommend them!

Sigrid and Tina are true professionals. They found me the perfect vendors for our 36 year Wedding Renewal. They were there to calm me down when the weather did not cooperate and were always available to answer any questions that I had. I have had wedding planners for my four children’s weddings and they did not compare to Sigrid and Tina. They were devoted to every single detail. I truly could not have had the beautiful renewal if it were not for them. They are a great mother/daughter team. You could look anywhere and pay any price and would never find anyone that can make your event just what you want … and more.

Sun Weddings is FABULOUS!! I originally met with Tina and did some preliminaries. She knew all the best sites for me to visit and knew all the right people for me to see. They recommend the perfect florist and bakery. Everything was very smooth. Sigrid picked right up, and contacted all the vendors, got balances due, and educated me on how things should proceed. She was there for rehearsal and kept us all calm and in the know! We are a crazy mix of latinos from different countries and she handled us with charm, grace and humor, while keeping us all on schedule! The wedding went off without a hitch, and Sigrid once again kept us all calm and on schedule. She was more than excellent! She stayed by my side when needed, and faded into the back when the time was right. She had all my gifts to my bridal suite like magic. It was absolutely perfect. I can’t say enough about Sun Weddings! The pricing is excellent, they are extremely knowledgeable and they will exceed your expectations.

When I first decided to do a destination wedding, I was a little nervous about having to hire people that I wouldn’t be able to meet ahead of time, so I put my full trust in wedding website reviews. After reading about Sun Weddings, I knew they would be a good choice. I found everything that others said to be absolutely true. They respond very quickly and thoroughly to all inquiries and took the worry out of everything for me. When we decided to change the time of my ceremony on the day before the wedding, they contacted all of my vendors for me and made sure everyone was on the same page. I couldn’t imagine my wedding going any better with anyone else.

I have received the photos via mail and we absolutely love them! They are beautiful and I would like to THANK YOU ALL so much for the wonderful event that you have organized. You made this day very special for all of us. GREAT JOB. Everyone in Poland could not believe how simple and stress-free this happened and without you guys we would not make it!
Kristyn & Dustin
I cannot express enough how special Tina and the Sun Weddings team made my day!! I was petrified to engage in business strictly over email, texting and phone. I took a leap of faith after reading the reviews on the site, and decided to have the Sun Wedding team plan my perfect day! And did they ever!!! I never once felt like a stranger, and as it was just us eloping, I found it comforting to know that Tina, Christina and the rest of my adopted family were there for me!! Tina is the most attentive person I have ever met and even when I was hysterical at the airport due to flight delays and such, she was the ONLY person who could calm me down and get me through my panic! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Christina!! She is incredible and my pictures came out absolutely beautiful! She spent so much time with us and made us feel so comfortable! If you are looking for event planning…this is your team! Look no further…you have found yourself an amazing venue with amazing people who treat you like family!

My now husband and I live in central Indiana but we decided to get married in Florida. I did all my research and planning online and Sun Weddings was very good at email correspondence. They were very flexible with the package details and even offered to switch our venue site the day before the wedding (had we wanted to). I would definitely use Sun Weddings again (only this time, for a vow renewal ceremony instead of a wedding). Thank you so much Sun Weddings for making our special day so beautiful! Melissa and Cameron October 2012 Thanks to the team at Sun Weddings our special day was amazing and one we will remember for the rest of our lives. The organization was akin to a military campaign but at no point were we made to feel uncomfortable even when the pressure mounted. They were very personable and all of our worries were taken away by their absolute professionalism.
Christine & Aaron
Idaho
We were planning our wedding that was held in Sarasota, FL but we live in Idaho. So immediately we knew that we would need to hire a wedding planner. We spoke with Tina then decided to go with a different planner instead. Well that was a HUGE mistake, it all fell apart about a month or two before our wedding. So in a tizzy I called Tina to see if there was anything she could do to help. Right away it was no problem, she got off the phone with me, and in 15 mins had called me back to let me know she had locked down our ceremony site and that all would be fine. Then our photographer fell through for personal reasons. Not only did Tina and her team find a new photographer (Cristina who is apart of the Sun Weddings team and took gorgeous photos… I just love them!) but Tina let me cry and scream about the personal issues in my life and gave me her always helpful and listening ear. This is obviously not her job as my wedding planner, but it didn’t matter to Tina, she was there! The day we were supposed to get our wedding license (a day before our wedding) we were running late because of traffic. Tina directed us to her office. Then we followed her to the court house. She knew everyone there so we didn’t have to wait around for anything, they just got right threw before they closed. Hey it helps to know people, right? On our wedding day the beach parking lot was packed, so she had my guests pull to the curb and one of her team members parked cars so everyone would be to the ceremony on time. The ceremony was PERFECT and GORGEOUS. It’s hard to put your trust in someone halfway across the country, but it was never hard with Sun Weddings they always made us feel comfortable. In 5 years we plan to go back to Florida and renew our vows. Florida Sun Weddings will be the first team we call to help us make it magical AGAIN!
Sherry & Michael
Tina with Sun Weddings did a fabulous job from answering all of my MANY questions, to the set up of our special day which was absolutely beautiful! The Officiate performed a beautiful ceremony and had a great personality. Our wedding was set up on Venice Beach and this was THE PERFECT beach for a quite wedding setting on a beautiful white-sand beach. The ceremony was right up on the water and the walking distance from parking lot to wedding site was perfect! Wedding coordinator Tina was very accommodating to our special request for the sand ceremony which was just amazing in itself. Photographer Cristina did an amazing job with capturing our special day and took so many pictures, and all were great! I can’t express enough how glad I am that I picked this organization to handle my special day. They were very prompt in getting our marriage license filed and our photo CD was in our possession within days of our wedding day.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful wedding! It far exceeded all of my expectations. You guys were great to work with and made my special day even more special. I will never forget you and the kindness you showed!
Kirsten & David

Truly amazing team! You are such a wonderful leader as well, it all looked so beautiful, I could not have asked for more. Except maybe a little longer for no rain, lol. I am so happy you got me out the door, or we would not have had the time to get as many pictures as we did. I enjoyed every moment of it all.
Nina & Jeff

Tina, You are amazing…. At your job, but most importantly as a woman! Right from the start, that very first phone call, we knew you were going to help make our wedding exactly what we dreamed of. I still remember that call. Not only were we getting the A-team wedding team but gaining a forever friend. Jeff and I became so close with you, and you made EVERY SINGLE request possible, no matter what! I still believe in my head that we had this amazing connection and you knew exactly what we wanted at all times, but in reality it’s just that you are so good at your job!! I will never forget seeing you at Bonefish, the anticipation of finally meeting you was great, and there stood our Beautiful wedding coordinator! Thank you for making Jeff and I feel so special… Our wedding day was more than we ever dreamed of… It was pure perfection. Thank you for making our day as smooth as possible, even with some of my crazy family 🙂 Christina – you are a little beauty, and for being so little, you can definitely get in there and get the job done and we thank you for that! You guys truly work as a TEAM! Here comes my only regret, I never met Mark… I heard he was “the guy with the hat on” who set things up. Mark, it would have been a pleasure and honor to shake your hand or give you a hug.
Tosha & Greg
Our wedding was just beautiful and it was all thanks to everyone at Sun Weddings. They picked up where another planner left us in a bind and it all came together so smoothly and seemingly effortless on their part. We did not have to worry about a thing. I would highly recommend Sun Weddings to anyone planning to get married in the Siesta Key area.
Kristi & Howard
We look back at our pictures and think what a beautiful job all of you did to make our day so special. You are all amazing!! We just celebrated our first anniversary on the 7th, we can’t believe it has been a year already.
Victoria & Ryan
The Sun Weddings team were a dream come true to me. I live out of state and was worried about planning a destination wedding. Sigrid and Tina not only helped me plan, but made me feel so comfortable and calm about the entire process. They feel like family after 5 minutes of meeting them. I couldn’t be happier with the wedding experience I had with them, and plan on renewing our vows just for the opportunity to work with them again. I would highly recommend them to everyone! I promise you will NOT be disappointed. They made all our wedding dreams come true.
Robin & Eric
I wanted to take a moment and say thank you to you and your mom so very much for your professionalism, outstanding customer service, but most importantly making our wedding day dreams come true! You and your mom were AWESOME!!! I couldn’t ask for a better team! Sun Weddings made everything perfect! From our first encounter I felt that Eric and I were in good hands! You all made us feel very comfortable with your ability to coordinate a wedding! You answered all our questions, responded expeditiously to our emails and phone calls! On our special day you all were wonderful! Our guests were very impressed and gave many many compliments to your business. Words can not express my gratitude for your ideas, suggestions, planning and implementation! I felt like a queen through our entire journey of planning the wedding and our wedding day! It was just magical and I get teary eyed every time I think of our special day. Eric and I are so grateful for everything you all did for us! We thank God for you all and pray continued success for your company!! We highly recommend your services to anyone getting married in the Florida area! We were married in Sarasota, Florida and it was the most beautiful day a bride could dream of!
Jennifer & Randy

I dealt with miss Tina from the first phone call to the actual wedding, and keep in mind, it was all within 8 weeks. They not only worked with Jen and I on a date that worked out but financially we felt comfortable using her. She was actually the one who organized my best friends wedding 6 years ago!!! Wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Randi & Justin

Hands down the best! Very knowledgeable of the area and provided great referrals to any services we required. A trustworthy team that will handle anything you need them to.

Tina was most helpful in arranging our last minute wedding. She made us feel totally comfortable. We are so pleased with their service and glad that we could include them in our special day. We wouldn’t change a thing!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING TO GIVE US THE BEST WEDDING EVER! Everything was so perfect. Your experience, professionalism, and confidence was able to help me put my worries at ease and allow me to let you all make our wedding day great. I’ve been referring to the wedding as my “fairy-tale” wedding because it was even more beautiful than I ever dreamed. Also, the pictures were great. Christina did a super-fantastic job. We’ve received so many compliments. Lastly, but certainly not least, is Pastor Scott…his wit surely kept the crowd entertained. It was a pleasure to have him officiate our wedding ceremony. You all are great!
Kristin & Brad

Tina and the Sun Weddings Team were such a pleasure to work with! I truly give them a 5-star rating. I’m big on communication and was thoroughly impressed at the response times whenever I had questions or concerns. When we initially were searching for a wedding planner to assist us with our beach wedding we called many different vendors. Sun Weddings wasn’t the cheapest we found, however, we felt after speaking with them that they were more professional and organized than others we had spoken to. Their services were worth every penny we paid!!! From the beginning, Tina and her team presented themselves in a very professional manner. We could tell they took their jobs seriously and were determined to make our special day very special!
Lee & Mark

Planning a wedding across two time zones has its own set of challenges, but thanks to you and your staff, our day was everything we could have dreamed. Your professionalism and confidence made the usual wedding stress melt away and allowed for Mark and I to truly appreciate each other and our new lives together. Thank you for your attention to detail, and your careful planning which also made each moment better than the last. We’re not quite sure how you arranged for that perfect sunset, but we are not surprised that you even made that happen for us.
Amber & Nathan

Thanks again Florida Sun Weddings for all your hard work on our wedding. We were so blessed to have found such an amazing team to help us plan our wedding from 4 states away. We love you guys!
Karen

I personally wanted to thank you for everything you did to make my son’s wedding “Just Perfect”. I have to confess that I was not happy at all that they wanted a beach wedding. I am very old fashioned and wanted a church wedding right here in our hometown so that “Everyone” could see them get married, but, much to my delight, their wedding was just beautiful! Much more than I expected it to be. The venue, the set-up, the steel drum, the perfect orchestration. It was awesome, and all thanks to you! I have never seen my son, nor his bride, happier and that is all a Mother could ask for. The minister/officiant made the ceremony so personal and I was very happy to have the words God and Family brought into it. He did a wonderful job!
Louise & Aaron

Sun Weddings are amazing! From the moment we met them in March 2011, I knew our wedding preparations were in the safest of hands. We were leasing with them from the UK but I was so assured and happy with Sun Weddings planning my wedding. The ceremony was exactly as we imagined and more, it was beautiful and a moment that will be with us for the rest of our lives. Sun Weddings are very professional in every aspect, and affordable. We cannot recommend them enough.
Christin & Josh
Our wedding day was perfect. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I’ll never forget how perfect our day was. It was amazing!
Meg & Mike
North Carolina
A huge thank you for making a long distance wedding a simple pleasure for me, Noel, the mother of the bride from S. C. and Meg, an over-worked, stressed out girl from N. C. The music man was perfect, the photographer was perfect, the set up on the beach perfect and I know you really weren’t responsible for a perfect day to be fitted in between two freezing ones but weren’t we all lucky that the sun came out at just the right time? I would give you the highest recommendation possible to anyone who wanted to contact me. I can’t think of anything you suggested that was not the very best…flowers, cake, restaurant. Thank you for making it simple, easy, stress-free and as I said before perfect! All with a couple of E-mails and phone calls.
Brittany & Steve
I believe I just had every little girls’ fairytale wedding…it was amazing! I am so grateful to the people who made this day perfect for Steve and I and to the people who came to be here with us and celebrate…. Planning a destination wedding is never easy, but you and the vendors you recommended were excellent and made it all that we could have asked for. The flowers were perfect and dinner at Mattison’s was unforgettable.
Yokaira & Bryan
Because of your efforts and that of everyone at Sun Weddings, our special day went very smooth. I would highly recommend your services to anyone in need of a wedding planner.

Cristina, We are speechless! We could not be more pleased with you and Sun Weddings and how perfect our day turned out to be. The weather was absolutely perfect and having you and Tina there to help share our day really is priceless! It’s amazing what one can find by doing a simple google search for “Florida Beach Weddings”, boy were we lucky to find you guys. We are SO SO very thankful that we chose you to capture our day and that Tina recommended you. Just by seeing the slide show we are extremely pleased with our photos and your talent.
Jessica & Gaetano

If you are looking for the VERY BEST in beach weddings, these are the guys to turn to! From the moment we met Sigrid and Tina Gebel, they set our minds at ease. We went to meet them with a folder full of information and questions to throw at them about what we had envisioned. Every last detail and inquiry were met without hesitation. They personally and delicately keep in touch with us every step of the way through our six months of planning, which was very important as this was a destination wedding and we could not be in town to hunt these services down. They had dozens of recommendations and resources available right at our fingertips for every aspect of our planning. Photo, video, florists, hair, make-up, hotels, transportation, cakes, dining, wedding priest/officiant; they have it ALL down. They offered the very best of each service, but also made it possible to get the very best at a wide range of different prices as to accommodate any income. At no point did we ever have to worry about our next step, because they were behind us every step of the way. We were even allowed to custom-arrange the scenery/decorations they offered and pick the exact beach location for the ceremony! As far as a “hands-on” team, they are number one!!! They have been referred to as the “Dream Team”, and I for one can say in up most sincerity that does not even give them justice! They are well beyond professional, but still are so sweet, down to earth, and amazingly easy to talk to. Hugs are a must when around them!! We are more than pleased with Sun Weddings, and would highly recommend them to anyone with a dream of the world’s most perfect wedding experience!

You all were wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with from Sun Weddings… Kim Dyer Photography… Scott Clark… Jorge (DJ)… Vincent… And thank you for recommending Inn at the beach and Quarterdeck condos. I know that everyone was extremely satisfied. I will tell you this… If someone wants to do a destination wedding… I will highly recommend Sun Weddings.
Wendy
I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for making our dream wedding for our daughter come true. I know in my mind and heart it would not have been the beautiful event it was, without the two of you. Your professionalism is unprecedented. I will be forever grateful, and will recommend you to the world.
Shedena & Hugo
Florida
Hugo and I can’t thank you all enough for being such a BIG part of our special day. I told everybody that from beginning to end you all were always there and that means a lot. It shows your dedication and commitment to your bride (and groom) at such a tender yet needy time, but also how you become “one” with the bride and groom. You all added such a personal touch to our special day and we will definitely love to leave comments about the service as well as the wonderful team of vendors you put together. Everyone was remarkable and we couldn’t have asked for a better day, better venue, or better team to make our day as special as it was. I’m so grateful that doing a “Google” search lead me to you.
Brooke

The Sun Weddings Team played such a crucial part in making our special day perfect. Mattisons 41 was wonderful, Flutterby Gardens and Beneva Flowers were also wonderful. But the most wonderful out of all of our experience was Sun Weddings. Our wedding would not have been the same without you. As for Tina, you went above and beyond and really took the time to make sure the Bride and Groom were happy and that you had done everything that you could to assist us. I would recommend you to anyone that asked my opinion!
Katherine & Steve
Florida
Steve and I would like to thank all of you for making our wedding day such a wonderful experience. We both had such a wonderful time, and much of that goes to all of you. Sigrid and Tina – thank you for everything that you did not only during the months prior to the wedding but especially the day of. I felt totally at ease and did not need to worry about a thing. Having you both there to manage everything was great. Every time I went to do something, you both had it covered. I was so comfortable knowing that you both were there. I received so many comments about the ceremony set up, the organization and how wonderful you both were. Scott – thank you for so much for a wonderful service. You did such a wonderful job. So many people commented on what a great ceremony it was. Thank you for keeping Steve “in line”. We both laughed so hard about him trying to sneak in the kiss and how you “slowed” him down. The day would not have been what it is was without all of you.
Jordin

You were the best, and I really appreciate all your help! Thank you again for being so great to us! FL is wonderful and we might have to make a place to meet every few years… and we should come back and say Hello! You made it so comfortable for me… even without my family … I was great with you both! You’re Forever with me!

The Sun Weddings team was superb! I felt completely at ease prior to the wedding and the day of our ceremony. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and worked with Tina Gebel through email. Every time I contacted Tina she returned all emails immediately, all questions were answered and great recommendations were given for vendors. I would highly recommend Sun Weddings for any couple seeking a perfect wedding day! My wedding was everything I’d hoped for!
Ashley & Will
Tennessee
Sun Wedding is a top notched, family operated business that I can’t say enough good things about. From the first time I spoke with Ms. Tina, she made me feel at ease about planning a wedding so many miles away from home. She made us (my daughter & I) feel as if we were the only people she was working with, which I know wasn’t true because there were several weddings the week of ours. But one thing is for certain whatever we wanted she was determined to deliver, and deliver she did. The set up was absolutely gorgeous! My family had a lot of catastrophes take place right in the middle of the wedding planning, I never feared tho, because Ms. Tina just kicked it in high gear and took care of everything. I know my daughters wedding would NOT have been as beautiful had it not been for the team at Sun Wedding. If a destination wedding is what you want. Then make sure to include Sun Wedding in your destination! I promise they will make your special day the most amazing & memorable day of your life! It has truly been a pleasure working with Tina, Ms. Sigrid, and Christina. I may have hired a stranger, but I left with a life long friend!
Michelle & Zachary
I just wanted to write to thank Tina for doing such a wonderful job with my beach ceremony. From day one of talking with Tina, she was very helpful and was always there 24/7 if I ever had a question. Since I was a little girl I was dreamed of getting married on the beach. Needless to say, Tina made this dream come true for me!!!!! The beach set-up was Beautiful and the minister she provided for me did a WONDERFUL JOB during the ceremony! All my guest told me that the loved the set-up and said that whoever did it, did a wonderful job! Not only did Tina make sure I had the set-up of my dreams she came the day before to go over everything with everyone to ensure that everything would go smoothly (well probably more to make me feel like things would go smoothly)!!! On the wedding day, she helped out with everything, she even helped videotape the ceremony!!!!! In addition, during pre-ceremony she brought up champagne for my maid of honor and me, which helped me to relax a little bit because I was starting to get very nervous. Words cannot explain how thankful I am for everything Tina did for us, she truly made our Special Day Unforgettable for our guest and us! I would recommend Sun Weddings over and over again to anyone getting married down in Florida!
Blair & Bob

They are awesome! Previous to our wedding, our experience to Sarasota was limited to a week job and one trip to the area to help plan the wedding. Tina and the team are wonderful, they helped introduce Siesta Keys and the Sarasota to us – great restaurants, wonderful lodging, and of course, an amazing wedding on the beach! Sun Weddings exemplifies the standards for a great business: ethical, trustworthy, detailed oriented and very reliable.
What a wonderful group of people at Sun Weddings!! Tina was an exceptional wedding planner that was always helpful, professional, creative and organized. Planning our Florida wedding from Maryland would have been so difficult and stressful without Sun Weddings – instead it really was fun and a breeze. My wife constantly says our wedding day was her most beautiful day in her life; I attribute a large amount of this wonderful day to Sun Weddings’ great work!
Shawna & Jeremy
Virginia
Sun Weddings Planners provide absolutely phenomenal services. They give you constant attention, making you feel as though your wedding is as important to them as it is to you and they always keep you updated as to what is going on. They are extremely easy to talk to and completely understand the stress of putting a wedding together. They offer suggestions as to what vendors to use (they are not pushy at all, like other wedding planners that I spoke with) but I highly recommend using the vendors/people they suggest. Brides, they know their stuff! They got me an incredible makeup and hair stylist to come right to my honeymoon condo to do my hair and makeup before the wedding and I can’t tell you how many compliments I got. Although Sun Wedding Planners are professional, they also make you feel like family, and they only want the best for their family. Trust me on this… they are a very close family that work incredibly well together and you will be amazed at what they can get done! I only had two weeks to pull my wedding together and it was gorgeous! I probably would have ended up getting married in a Court House instead of on Siesta Key Beach at sunset with an amazing photographer. They even arranged a driver for us with only two days notice! I am truly not one to give rave reviews. In fact, I am quite discriminating. But my experience with Sun Weddings was so incredible that I just had to share it. If you are planning a wedding in the Sarasota/Venice area, you simply have to get Sun Weddings. Their prices are extremely reasonable and their service is second to none. You will also never meet nicer people who will do anything in their power to make your day spectacular!
Whitney
Indiana
Tina and the Sun Weddings Team were wonderful! They helped me plan a destination wedding that was beautiful! The quick and timely responses that I got back from them when I had a question, it showed that they were definitely on top of things. Tina kept everyone on track the day of the wedding. I would have been lost without her. They were kind to our guests and families, and were there to answer their questions when needed. They made our day special and one that we, along with our guest, will never forget!
Maggie & Stephen
Maryland
As Marylanders, finding dedicated Wedding planners five states away wasn’t to be an easy task. Or so we thought… My snow bird parents had fallen in love with the world-renowned quartz sands at Siesta Key Beach Sea Club V. After years of vacationing there, it truly became a sentimental location for my family. After my Father passed in September 2007, my Fiancee wanted to be joined in matrimony at a location to honor and include my Father. Hence, we elected to join our hearts on Siesta Key Beach in February 2008. Tina, Sigrid, and Cristina truly understood the emotional ties for us both & my family to include my Father in our day. They helped us remember my Father with a beautiful Dove Release (thru Sarasota Dove Release), unity sand ceremony, and surprise umbrellas to catch my Father’s tears of joy as it down poured on our special day. Florida is the sunshine state – just not at 4:00 on our Wedding Day. However, realizing it’s about the marriage, not the weather we weathered the rain, Take One Media filmed our vows and our guests cheered us on to the music of DJ Steve Warnchik! Even in the rain these ladies attended to every need with beautiful smiles, patience, and grace! Sun Weddings referred us Pastor Scott Clark who, while wet, spiritually and comically joined my Husband Dr. Stephen Synowski and I twice in God’s love! (Once in the rain then again at our beautiful, dry reception site!) Our guests raved of Tina, Sigrid, and Cristina’s detailed skills, love of family, and true desire to ensure all our wedding wishes were not just dreams! You know it’s truly a family business when husbands and children of these beautiful ladies are there setting up in the rain and cheering our walk down the isle on with true spirit! Thank you, Tina, Sigrid, and Cristina for your heartfelt dedication, quality vendor referrals, and love of ensuring the Bride is relaxed and the Groom is smiling!! Truly YOU ladies were our sunshine on our blessed day – we would do it all over again – even in the rain!
Nikki & Tommy

Thank you both for being part of the most memorable day of my life. The ceremony was perfect, minus my forgetfulness, and the reception was so beautiful. I tell you if I could change it all, the one thing I would not undo is having you guys take care of me. What an amazing job you do and I honestly wish I could get married all over again just to experience what you gave me one more time. I will never forget you.
Joyce & David
New York
David and I are back in NYC and we are still glowing. And it is not just from the beautiful Florida sunshine we had the week of our wedding. I am not exaggerating when I say that our wedding day was the most wonderful day in my life. It could not have happened without the two of you. The decision to have a wedding coordinator, and then choosing your services, was the single best wedding planning decision we made. From the very start, your services went beyond our expectations. My desire for an elegant, but fun wedding, became a reality with your help. Throughout the entire process, and certainly on the day of, I was relaxed and at ease. (The well-timed martini didn’t hurt any either!) I can truly say that I completely enjoyed my own wedding. I would do it all over again tomorrow. Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts. We will definitely recommend you to other WCF brides without reservation, and if we ever decide to do it again, you’ll be our first contact.
Crissy & Conrad

Florida Sun Weddings made the most important day in my life flawless! You guys had my mind at ease during the whole process…how you did that I am not sure, but it was wonderful. I am usually one that needs to be in control, but it was very easy to leave everything in your hands. I appreciate the option to change our date when the weather was not looking promising, your flexibility made things easier on me. The guests in attendance could not stop talking about how wonderful everything looked; they were impressed with your professionalism and how easily everything flowed. I was very happy with everything…Grace nailed our relationship on the nose with her ceremony; we will cherish those words forever! I am still getting compliments on the pictures that Andy took, people were amazed at how beautiful they were and they could not believe that we got them 2 days after the ceremony! My flowers were exactly what I wanted and added just enough to the pictures. You guys exceeded my expectations and I would do it all over again, in a heartbeat. I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to do a beach wedding!
Kathy

Thank you for organizing, coordinating and keeping me calm! Knowing that you both were there on Saturday to take care of it all allowed Blaise and me to enjoy our daughter’s wedding, AND BOY WE DID!! Thank you again both for your warm attention!
Rhondi & Phil
Rhondi and I would like to thank Sun Weddings for actually caring about us and our special day as if we were family. Tina and Sigrid did whatever it took to set our minds at ease and alleviate much of the stress around planning a destination wedding. Everything about our day was beautiful and these beautiful ladies were on top of things from the first time that I contacted them until our last hug goodbye a couple of days after our wedding. Every service that you provided was amazing. Your relationship with our vendors made our day pass as flawlessly and beautifully as we had dreamed it would. Whether it was a welcoming hug each time that we showed up at the office or the offer of a cold drink after a long day traveling you always made us feel at home and cared about.

Everyone at Sun Weddings is so nice! I wouldn’t have made it without Tina’s help! Tina was so patient and understanding and always reminding me that everything would be perfect – “no worries”! And it was! What a beautiful day. Thank you, Tina, for helping to make the most important day of my life so wonderful. You’re a very special person and are soooo great at what you do.

You both helped make our special day even more special. Plus it’s a memory, LOL. I will never forget how frustrated I was that we were running late to my own wedding. (was raised to never be late) and here we were. But Tina helped keep me calm and when we got there I never will forget when Tina ripped me out of the back seat of the car and said hurry we are losing sun. And then she ran after my mother and took my niece and gave her to whom needed to watch her. If it wasn’t for you doing all this, I don’t think we would have had as nice of pictures from Andrew as we did. I will forward some as well for you to keep or if you want to put us in your book to show off Andrew’s work. I will always talk of you all and recommend you to others. Thanks again Sooooo much we couldn’t have done it without you all at Sun Weddings.

I just wanted to take a few minutes of your time to tell you what a wonderful and beautiful job Tina and the Sun Wedding Team did on my ceremony back on September 9, 2009. My fiance and I had talked about getting married at sunset, on the Gulf, just the three of us (we have a 6-year-old daughter). We are from Michigan, so planning our ceremony became frustrating. I had found Florida Sun Weddings on-line, and was impressed with the beautiful beach set ups. I had contacted Tina. She was very nice and so willing to help me plan. After our conversation, I felt very confident in her and her team. For several months, we kept in contact. She was on top of everything. When we arrived on Siesta Key Beach, everything was perfect. The set up was absolutely breathtaking. Tina and her team did an outstanding job. We couldn’t have been happier. Honestly, I was a little nervous about putting full trust in someone (who I’ve never met) to plan my wedding, several states away. Think about it, this is your big day and you are not here to sit down and talk with this person or physically see what they are doing and what they have in mind. For all I knew, I could have been taken advantage of, and had absolutely nothing when we arrived. You just don’t know now-a-days. Anyway, Tina and the Sun Wedding Team were great. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding so memorable.

You were there through every tough trial and tribulation and even when I thought our wedding just wouldn’t be able to go on – you were there with encouraging words and the infinite “plan B”. I know you organize a lot of weddings but please know that I am so very grateful for you helping me to organize mine. Being that Kenneth and I have been best friends for 9 1/2 years and dating for the last 5 of those years, you can imagine we have been through a lot, more than you can even imagine but as I type this e-mail as Mrs. Evans I know that I owe the final chapter of our lives as “boyfriend and girlfriend” and the new chapter of our lives as truly being one to you. You are beautiful women with beautiful hearts because you didn’t have to try so hard to help me – but you did – and I am grateful.

We can’t thank you enough for the time and thoughtfulness you put into every aspect of our wedding. From our first conference call to our wedding and “weekend-long celebration” over a year later, you were there every step of the way. We looked forward to visiting Florida from New York for “wedding planning” – in part to see you! Your energy, passion and enthusiasm surrounding our wedding meant the world to us, and it will forever. We both imagined a picture perfect wedding day our entire lives and you helped make it a reality. You completely shared our vision and made it your own. You are lovely, professional and organized, and you went above and beyond to make sure that our day (and weekend) was magical. We were so incredibly impressed by your attention to detail! We knew that we were in good hands! We were (surprisingly) calm throughout the planning process, and throughout the wedding and weekend events, this is because of you. With you on our team, we knew it would be flawless. And it was! You are the “Dream Team!” The compliments from our wedding party and guests never ended. Working with you was the best decision that we made surrounding the wedding. You are fabulous and will be in our hearts forever!

We would like to extend our gratitude to Tina & Sigrid for everything that made our wedding day the extraordinary day that it was!! We live in WV and planned our destination wedding for November in Venice, FL…Not an easy task to accomplish, we thought…but, Tina & Sigrid eased that burden immensely. They had wonderful resources and recommendations to offer and were always ready with a kind word and a calming pep talk during the planning process. We could not have been happier with our wedding and how everything came together so perfectly on our wedding day!! Many of our guests have expressed that it was the BEST wedding that they had ever been to, some said including their own!! We enjoyed our wedding day so much and all of the wonderful details that were facilitated by them & brought together so eloquently are special memories we have to cherish forever!! Tina & Sigrid really care and will go the extra mile to ensure the bride and groom are happy, they really know their stuff and have many talents to share. We trusted them with our special day & they went above & beyond what we had anticipated!! We highly recommend them to plan the wedding or your dreams.

First let me start by thanking you SO MUCH for making Jeff & Jessica’s dream come true. You went above and beyond your duties and for that all of us will be forever thankful. You delivered on everything promised and left not one stone unturned. Your kindness and friendship with everyone was and still is so greatly appreciated. Everything was perfect! Thank you also for working closely with us from the beginning, getting back with us promptly and always being so professional, courteous and personable. You guys are truly amazing! Let’s not forget to mention my endless amounts of emails you returned so quickly and with such positive words of encouragement and thoughtfulness. Our families who attended were worried about having a beach wedding; however they cannot stop talking about how beautiful everything was.

I have had many wonderful comments from nearly everyone in attendance about how PERFECT this wedding and reception were. It is important to me that each of you fully appreciates how your role in this wedding touched so many of us so deeply. Yes, it is always great to have someone compliment you for your work. But, most often, if you are truly good at what you do, you already know that. You are all clearly good at what you do. BUT, your performance and contributions to the process when far beyond professionalism; In our case, you demonstrated that you honestly CARE about those how you are assisting.This was one of the most important days of our parenting lives. Isn’t it something that I can’t think about the beauty of the experience without thinking about you! Cristina, you worked your butt off this weekend and we could not have done this without you. Tina? Tina. You were our blessing. You were not a wedding planner this weekend. You were the wind under our wings, the friend present in a time of need and the absolute difference maker in presenting my family with a parent’s life-long dream come true. My daughter adored you, my wife leaned on you more than a dozen times in one day and I made eye contact with you and your presence assured me that everything is going to be alright. Thank you all, thank you, Tina. Please know that this father of the bride will never forget the gift you helped give me.

Everything turned out PERFECT! The wedding was so BEAUTIFUL thanks to you! We really appreciate everything you have done for us”. I would also like to say “thank you” again for helping me make my dreams come true with a beautiful wedding on the beach. I could not have done it without you. I am so thankful that I found you over the internet. You are wonderful and you never let me down.

Sun Weddings was amazing to my family and me on my wedding day (and the planning process as well). They took care of so much on the day of. Between weathering an impending storm and a summer day on the beach, Sun Weddings took it all in stride and ensured my sanity! They were so professional and detailed-oriented. Another great bonus is that they have a lot of their own equipment (chairs altar set-ups etc.) so we didn’t have to worry about outside rental equipment. I strongly recommend Sun Weddings to ANYONE!

Thank you very much for all you did to make the wedding beautiful. I don’t know how you go from wedding to wedding? People have not stopped talking about it.

From start to finish, Sun Weddings were absolutely fantastic. Extremely responsive and professional. Even when we changed the time of our wedding 2 days prior to the event, nothing fazed Tina and Sigrid! We were arranging our wedding from Scotland and had complete faith in Sun Weddings to arrange everything in our absence. Highly recommended (if there were 10 stars, then they would all be gold!) We were concerned that we would have problems organizing our son’s wedding from 4,000 miles away in Scotland. We need not have been. Their friendly and businesslike response to our requests was always prompt and set our minds at ease. Everything was done very professionally from inviting us to see how they conducted their preparations for a wedding through to having the marriage certificate recorded and delivered after the event. They gave us the impression they really enjoyed everything they did for us. As far as the cost goes, we have nothing to compare it with but we certainly felt we had good value for money. I gather Mum was an acrobat. The flexibility carries over. We did have to make late changes including asking to bring the whole ceremony forward by an hour. They immediately agreed and suggested that as the beach might be busier at that time they would do a shuttle service with their own transport to get guests to the service if the Car Park was closed. We did not just have a wedding. We feel we made new friends.

I was married on Venice Beach and would like to share how amazing of a job Tina and Sigrid with Sun Weddings did with planning my wedding. They were extremely detailed and in close contact the entire year leading up to the wedding. They were always more-than-friendly, sincere, and compassionate about the importance of my wedding to my family and I. They didn’t skip a beat and the week of the wedding, everything was very smooth. They definitely kept me at ease with their quick responses to concerns. They are extremely professional and sweet and my family and I felt like we had known them our entire lives. We missed them upon leaving Florida! Since we are from the midwest, we had to trust their recommendations for cakes, ceremony sites, reception sites, hair/make-up, preacher, photographer, EVERYTHING! I was impressed with everyone they recommended, especially Linda with A Victorian Bride and her team. Her make-up artist was unbelievable. Sun Weddings really went the extra mile to make my wedding day a dream come true and keep me as comfortable and at ease as possible. We have such awesome memories thanks to their hard work and dedication. They even went as far as rocking the groom’s nephew to sleep during the reception so the family could enjoy their time, helped me to the bathroom with my dress without me even asking, and wiped the groom’s face when he was hot and sweaty :). These are just a few of the ways they went above and beyond. I have nothing but great things to say about them, both personally and the job that they did.

The wedding planners (team) at Sun Weddings was absolutely above and beyond what I could have asked for from the moment I was put in touch with them to the very end. Our relationship started more than a year out. Tina and Sigrid are a mother/daughter team and are a class act from start to end. They are professional but do so in a most heartwarming way. They recommended all of the vendors we used and were so helpful in that respect. They recommended “tried and true” vendors that were exceptional and because of their relationship there were no surprises or mishaps on the wedding day. All of the vendors worked so well together and Tina and Sigrid and Cristina made sure everything stayed on schedule and all flowed so well. They were there at the rehearsal and then all day (it seemed) for the day of the wedding and through the reception and cake cutting. I was the mother of the bride and I felt that it was just as important for the mother of the bride to be relaxed and having fun as it was for the bride. Sun Weddings made that possible. I must have said to myself 20 times, “I don’t know how anyone could have a wedding without the assistance and comfort of knowing that such wedding planners were there to make the day what it was intended to be”. Which is wonderful and relaxing. At the very start, I thought the cost was a little bit high (as I felt it was “an extra”) but I soon realized that this service was going to be the best money spent on the entire wedding. It starts with them and that is the important part of the entire wedding….the way it starts and the planning through the months prior to the wedding. I highly recommend Sun Weddings. It is not an expense as much as it is a gift!
