The Nokomis Drum Circle was something we found on Facebook! They perform every Wednesday and…read moreSaturday evening, approximately 2 hours before sunset, rain or shine. What is the drum circle exactly? They are drummers, musicians, and dancers who invite you to join them in celebrating life on Nokomis Beach. We were visiting from Texas, looking for a unique experience, this was awesome! For outsiders like us, we didn't know "how" to find them. TIP: Use Google Maps and search Nokomis Beach public parking. When you reach Pelican Alley (intercoastal waterway) the Nokomis Beach public parking is at the end of this road. We went on a Wednesday, got there around 6pm -- the lot was full including the handicap spots. This parking area is tiny, I'd say it holds approximately 50 cars. However, there is more free public parking across the street, look for the marina storage in the distance. There was a lot of parking available when we arrive but an hour later around 7pm there were no parking spaces left. I have no idea where you can park after everything is full. After you park, of course, you listen for the drums and start walking in that direction. We watched an elderly couple struggle to walk the distance plus navigate several stairs. Once they got to the beach they realized it was too far to walk to the drum circle in the sand, they turned around and left. That literally broke our hearts. We didn't know how to help them. But once we accessed the beach and walked towards the drum circle we learned a very important trick for others who may have the same type of problems. TIP: If you walk towards the white shelter / pavilion on the North West corner of the Nokomis Beach parking lot, it's all ground level, you will be 3/4th of the way to the drum circle location. From the parking lot to this pavilion plus the sandy path to the drum circle is all flat ground to walk on (no stairs). The drum circle is set up right at the end of this sandy walkway, can't miss it! We stayed approximately two hours. Visitors range from age 2- 100. Some people come prepared with beach chairs and coolers others sit on towels. Bring whatever you need to be comfortable sitting out in the open, in the sun and sand, it does get hot. The drummers are passionate, focused, and love their audience. It was a lovely spiritual and positive experience. Our favorite part was the flowers and decorations set up in the center, in memory of members of their community, place there by the Tribe. We were lucky to witness the sage blessing and be a part of that ritual.

I don't even know where to begin because Jennifer and her team are truly beyond words. We decided…read morewe wanted to do a destination wedding and had no idea where to start. I found JMEP on Instagram and reached out to see how it works. From that day forward Jennifer was there for me 24/7! She knows EVERYTHING there is to know about planning a perfect wedding. The most important and impressive part to me is her constant communication and responsiveness. She literally made it impossible for me to feel stressed! I would text or call her and immediately she was on it. When it comes to her design skills, they're unmatched! I would give as much creative freedom to her because she puts together a stunning wedding! She puts in endless hours of communicating, planning, meeting us last minute when we were in town and listening to our every concern. I couldn't have asked for anyone more perfect to help us during this special year. (Also it was 2020 so the whole covid thing .. won't even get into it but she helped us navigate it all!) To top it off, the day of she's there and she is WORKING IT!!! Kept me confident, on schedule, and had every detail of the event running perfectly. There truly is nobody better than JMEP! Shoutout to Bridgette too, we love you guys!

Despite being asked questions on timeline during rehearsal dinner wedding planner was not able to answer what time guest should arrive and was dismissive to all questions stating her assistant was there not herself When asked about potential tree nut allergy she responded ( so they probably should not eat it - rather than coming up with alternate plan) planner was blatantly rude to younger members of the family as well sometimes trying to physically snatch an object from their hands. I would not recommend her to anyone maybe his team members are better at doing wedding planning .
