Let me start by saying that I never had a Pinterest board for my wedding or any specific vision or…read moreinspiration. I had NO CLUE what I wanted. My husband and I were originally thinking that we were going to do it all ourselves- I realized that would be impossible for me to do on top of attending medical school in a another state. I began researching wedding planners and I stumbled upon Jennifer's Instagram. We got in touch and after speaking with her, I called my (now) husband and said we HAVE to hire her! We booked with Jennifer for Design and Event Management. It was the best decision that we made. Jennifer planned and organized tastings, the design presentations, and other meetings around when I could be in town and we didn't have to worry about a single thing. She handled all contact with the vendors and helped us tweak anything we were concerned about. If we needed a recommendation for other vendors, she always had a list ready for us. She went out of her way to stay in touch with us, to get another quote or vendor, and to make sure every single detail was absolutely perfect. She provided her wisdom and recommendations which we really trusted because Jennifer is truly an expert in her field. When it all came together in the final presentation, I knew that it would be beautiful- but it was still hard for me to see the complete vision in my head. It didn't all truly hit me until the day of- as the vendors were setting up and Jennifer had everything coordinated down to every single floral arrangement and furniture piece. Walking into my ceremony was truly breathtaking- all of our guests have commented over and over that it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to. We used the same venue for ceremony and reception, and the room flip was flawless. Before the guests came in, I commented to Jennifer that I have no idea how she sees all of this in her head and makes it happen- and that is truly how I feel. My husband and I keep saying to each other that we wish we could experience it again. We did not worry about a SINGLE thing on the day of our wedding. We were able to focus on our marriage and enjoying our food, drinks, cake, and the company of our guests without a single worry about flowers or tables or chairs. If you are looking for someone to make your day unforgettable- look no further! I have said this to anyone who asks and I truly mean it: I never had a dream wedding until Jennifer planned it.

She was available by email, phone and even in person whenever I had questions. She also gave me great recommendations on all aspects of my wedding. She has such a great personality which made working with her so comfortable. She has a calm spirit and treats you like a friend who wants your wedding day to be as special as you hope it to be. Regarding her photographer, priceless. Such beautiful work! I love my pictures! All my family and friends were as impressed as I was. She is truly an artist. The only picture we posed for were family portraits all the others were candid and really illustrated the happiness and joy of our wedding. Her photos told the story well. I highly recommend Carrie.

We were both impressed with how different her photography was from the standard fare we had seen from so many others. Our engagement shoot only confirmed our belief in her talent.

Their calm demeanor and professionalism shone through and the end result was a series of phenomal photos. We look forward to working with Carrie again. When my wife turns 30, she'll be back to shoot the party!

Brittany provided support, creative ideas, resources, and encouragement, and she always kept us moving forward.

We highly recommend her as your wedding planner!

My experience with Affairs in the Air (AFA) was a nightmare from start to finish. The owner,…read moreCarolynn, was one of the most unprofessional individuals I've ever dealt with. This review reflects my experience with this vendor, and you better believe I'm coming to the table with receipts. We rented Selby Gardens' South Lawn for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the North Lawn Ballroom for our reception. Since AFA is the exclusive lighting and décor vendor for Selby Gardens, we had no choice but to hire her. Unfortunately, this exclusivity left us at her mercy, and it quickly became clear that her priority was keeping our money--not providing service. Selby informed us 23 days before our wedding that, due to storm damage, the South Lawn was inaccessible. They offered us a partial refund if we moved our wedding to the North Lawn, which was also severely storm-damaged but still "operational." We declined, as it was beat up, and we were only planning to use the indoor ballroom. Selby ultimately refunded us in full due to the circumstances. We found a new venue 10 minutes down the road that allowed us to keep our date. The new venue recognized AFA and said Carolynn had worked there before, so we were thrilled! But when we proposed relocating and renegotiating her services, she flat-out refused, claiming that she didn't have insurance for the venue--a requirement never mentioned in our original contract. Despite a clear Force Majeure clause in AFA's contract, Carolynn insisted we weren't entitled to an adjustment or refund. Her reasoning? Selby was still hosting weddings on the salt-burned, leaf-bare North Lawn--even though our contracted space, the South Lawn, was deemed unsafe and unusable by Selby! Our AFA contract states: "If renegotiated, a full credit of your retainer will be applied to the new and updated contract. If your event is rescheduled due to a conflict on your part, we will only be able to accommodate you if the new date is available on our calendar." We kept the same date and time, and she was available. This wasn't a conflict on our part--it was Force Majeure. Up until her refusal to cooperate, we never asked for a refund; we simply wanted her to fulfill the contract. We even offered to pay for her insurance to retain her services and were happy to renegotiate the contract for any upcharges or changes. Instead of collaborating, Carolynn doubled down on her dismissive and rude behavior. Her communication was curt, unprofessional, and often grammatically incomprehensible. When it became clear she was going to deny service and keep all our money (we paid in full), we involved a lawyer. Carolynn suddenly offered us half of our deposit back if we signed an agreement not to leave a bad review. I obviously didn't sign that or accept the offensively low offer because she DID NO WORK. Carolynn's behavior was appalling. She showed zero regard for the contract, her professional obligations, or the difficult situation we were navigating. Every other vendor adapted with grace and compassion. AFA, on the other hand, was unethical, uncooperative, and showed no respect for their clients. I urge Selby Gardens to reconsider its exclusivity with this company. Even Selby staff warned me about how unpleasant Carolynn is. Brides should not be forced to work with such a difficult vendor. Brides and grooms, my advice is to avoid Affairs in the Air at all costs. Never pay a vendor in full until services are rendered, and always buy event insurance. Wedding planning is stressful enough without dealing with someone who disregards contracts, customer service, and basic human decency.

We hired Affairs in the Air to hang drapery and lighting with a dimmer in our 20x80 frame tent for…read moreour wedding on Anna Maria Island this Spring, and I highly recommend them. After seeing the underside of many tents, I knew I wanted something more elegant for our wedding, however, I was surprised to learn how much drapery and lighting typically costs! After shopping around, it was clear that Affairs in the Air had the most professional-looking drapery for the most reasonable prices. They were very communicative and helpful. I provided a photo of the style I was looking for, and AITA was able to provide photos of their own work that was very similar. In the end, our tent was so beautiful and absolutely surreal - and worth every last penny. We received so many compliments on it, and it really transformed the entire space. I'm so glad that we worked AITA into our limited budget. AITA also did a great job working with us and our tent vendor, U.S. Tent, to determine a timeline for setup and teardown. They arrived on time and had the drapery installed and also removed by the designated times. Thank you, Affairs in the Air, for making our wedding space so beautiful!

I usually look and feel awkward, and it's not just me being weird, people have told me I look weird in pictures! My husband and I were planning a destination wedding in our favorite place on Earth, Anna Maria Island, Florida. In doing so, most was planned online from Chicago. I found Dara's website, and in turn her husband's website (he's a local musician on the island.) They are frequently working weddings together, she as the photographer, he as the DJ or live musician. It just could not have been a better fit for our wedding. Dara is so professional, yet still fun, efficient, but still relaxed. By the end of the planning, and that magical night, it truly felt like we had two more friends at our wedding. Her work speaks for itself; when looking at the other weddings on her site (hundreds!) she really captures what each individual couple is looking for. Formal, silly, romantic, just plain beachy! I've never felt more beautiful, and she made it ok for me to feel that way. And now I have those images forever. I'd love to make it a tradition of hiring her for big moments in our lives from now on.

From the very beginning, she was professional, organized, and incredibly thoughtful. She quickly understood our vision and priorities, and then went above and beyond to make sure every detail came together seamlessly. What really stood out was her ability to manage all of the moving parts with such calm confidence. She kept us on track with timelines, vendor communication, and budgeting, and on the wedding day itself, she was a true lifesaver--handling logistics behind the scenes so we could actually relax and enjoy the celebration. Brittany has a great balance of creativity and practicality. She had so many clever ideas that elevated the day, but she also knew how to keep us grounded when decisions felt overwhelming. Her vendor recommendations were fantastic, and her relationships in the industry made everything run smoother. Our guests kept commenting on how flawless the day felt, and that's 100% thanks to Brittany and her team. If you're looking for a planner who is detail-oriented, responsive, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect, Brittany is the one.
