Chef Annie came with all the stuff: cooking utensils, pans, crepe maker & all the groceries. She taught my daughter & I how to chop, braise, poach, & cut up vegetables the easy way.

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.

It was also my first time to Sarasota and with the pandemic happening it was difficult to explore on our own. Then comes Sarasota Concierge Services! Norm came over to the house, with a bartender, and made us an incredible seafood dinner. (He also did all the meal shopping and cleanup) Some of the best fish I've ever had. He also lined up a masseuse to come over to the house one afternoon and made us a great outdoor dining reservation at a local restaurant. Sarasota Concierge Services also provided airport transportation for a few in the group that needed those services. Don't waste your precious vacation time trying to figure out the lay of the land - just call Norm at Sarasota Concierge Services! 941-349-4063.

Dara Caudill, the photographer and owner of Island Photography, photographed my wedding. It was the…read moreaspect of my wedding I was most nervous about; I'm not a fan of having my picture taken. 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.

We hired Dara for our wedding on Anna Maria Island, we love her!!! It was so hot the day of our…read morewedding and she was working ridiculously hard to get all our requested photos. She has tons of energy yet she is pretty laid back and has a real "go-with-the-flow" attitude. I'm not a big fan of the camera in general so I was a little worried about feeling like being at a photo shoot on our wedding day, but she made us feel incredibly comfortable that day. She responds promptly to emails and is very professional, and kind. I highly recommend Island Photography as a vendor for your wedding day!

Hiring Brittany as our wedding planner was hands down the best decision we made during the planning…read moreprocess. 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.
