Exquisite Events

r the wedding, the grooms cake was put out with the rest of the desert and eaten before my husband or I could see it, my $100 rose petals were not put down the aisle, and along with numerous other things. She would only refund me for the grooms cake, nothing else. I was told by numerous family and friends that they offered to help her set things up since I was not able to be there or do anything due to my broken foot and I was told she refused everyone's help. I was not there but I believe what my family said. I was also threatened that if I left a bad review she would sue me for slander. I definitely wouldn't recommend her to anyone!

g married there! The ceremony and reception were amazing and super organized thank you to them!!

imagined and more. Highly recommend!!!

'm sure I'm not the worst bride, but I probably got a little annoying towards the end. But Chloe handled it all like a champ. As expected, there were some hiccups, but Chloe handled them all smoothly and most I didn't even know about until the end of the reception and at that point, it didn't matter anyway. Our rentals were beautiful and the execution of what I had pictured in my mind went above and beyond. The entire thing came together beautifully and the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception moved smoothly all under her watchful eye. We are so truly grateful for the wonderful experience she provided during our engagement and our wedding!

y of our wedding, and had a few phone calls and e-mails with her prior. Every time we spoke she was full of enthusiasm and ideas for our big day. She really has a knack for putting a bride at ease and helping you figure out what is best for you! The day of, she checked in on me and then was off to set-up. I still cannot believe how beautiful everything was. I had a giant box of decor which she set up and made look even better than what I had imagined!! I was honestly just thrilled and so happy that we were able to work with Chloe and the whole team at EE. They truly know what they are doing and they really CARE about your day and making it what you have always dreamed of. I HIGHLY recommend them!!! Thank you EE, and thank you Chloe!! Working with EE and TradeWinds was the best! You went above and beyond - you are truly talented at what you do! Thank you for making our day so special!!

ll of our vendors the week before the wedding. She arrived earlier than scheduled on our wedding day to set-up and make sure everything went smoothly. Did it ever! The entire event went perfectly. Chloe was great!!

able to enjoy the entire day. Whether it was a spill on my dress or a drink in my hand. She was there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND- It is so worth every penny!!!

t me on task and found the most amazing venue, 900 Park St. in St. Pete. My wedding was more amazing than I had even imagined. They found all my vendors and set up all my appointments. They were accommodating with my schedule, and were always available any time I had questions or concerns. Everyone there was always friendly and patient (as I had no idea what I wanted when the process began). The day of the wedding, Lisa was with me the entire day making sure everything was perfect. Because of Lisa and her girls I knew I had nothing to worry about and I could just have fun and enjoy the day. After the wedding most all my guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to! I can't think them enough for all they did!!!

all our visits to help be sure every detail was covered. On the wedding day everything went smoothly and if there was anything that was going on she was right there to take care of it. Lisa did a fantastic job keeping everything on a timeline and moving along on the wedding day. Our day was perfect with Lisa's help.

seemed like the perfect match for us as a couple. However, we ended up doing most of the work since they really only provided vendor options, some of the décor and coordination for the day-of -- much less than I thought we were paying for per contract. A week before the wedding, I was told that our day-of planner/coordinator would be someone totally different than the person I had been speaking to for the past 7 months which threw me off a bit. I was assured that she could handle the job and was completely caught up on our event. The rehearsal went well and I felt confident that Chloe would be able to do what needed to be done. The day of, I only saw her once before the ceremony, early in the day prior to prep and never saw her again until the ceremony. After a long day with several hiccups, she approached us during the reception to say she was leaving and would have another planner stay until the end. Needless to say, the reception was slightly a disaster towards the end (luckily none of the guests noticed), where the planner even said it wasn't her wedding so she didn't know what needed to be done. A lot of our concerns have since been discussed, but with a lot of blame game between EE and our venue. For the amount of money we paid, I do not think we got the service many others had gotten or we deserved. I truly feel they may have overbooked themselves that weekend which could have played a part in the issues. I cannot say that I would not necessarily refer others to them, but would do so with caution, as you have to be prepared to do it yourself , keep track of your own vendors and stay on top of them.

ect and what we truly imagined! I couldnt have done it without these ladies! Every detail was covered and nothing was left undone. Love Much! Danielle Hendrick

y working with Tradewinds for my room block and rehearsal dinner. Ashley was my main point of contact and was very helpful with helping me coordinate all of the moving parts. She is very patient and accommodating. My ceremony was beautiful!

THING. I am so glad that I decided to get a wedding planner. Everything turned out exactly how i had imagined. If you are looking for a wedding planner and want the wedding of your dreams, go with Exquisite Events!

organized and on top of everything the day of our wedding. She made sure that everything was on time, people knew where they needed to be, and that everything ran smoothly. Lisa helped to make my wedding day everything that I had ever dreamed of. I seriously don't know what I would have done without her! Thanks again Lisa!

re to work with! We were fortunate enough to work with Lisa throughout the entire planning process to the day of! Lisa helped to keep us organized and sane. Lisa and Ashley made a special trip to our venue to meet/negotiate with multiple vendors since it was in the Orlando area. This was their first wedding at Bella Collina and they made my dreams a reality! The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were stunning and everything ran so smoothly thanks to the EE staff! From the moment I met Lisa and team I knew my family and I had nothing to worry about and I was right! EE is professional, punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable and the BEST around…You truly can’t go wrong! Love you all and thank you again for the BEST DAY EVER!

k with throughout the entire process. I worked mostly with Ashley and she was great.. very professional and organized. EE really helped with getting everyone where they needed to be on time and they were great with checking in on me on the day of the wedding. They were always right there if I needed anything! It was really helpful having them run the rehearsal too. I was much more relaxed on the wedding day knowing that everyone knew what to do. I did not have to worry about ANYTHING on the day of my wedding and that was a great feeling. Thanks to EE, everything went smoothly and my wedding day was everything that I had ever dreamed of. I highly recommend Exquisite Events. You will not be disappointed!

t a month of planning on our own I realized how many things I needed a second (and preferably professional) opinion on. Lisa was a great sounding board, came up with tons of creative ideas, and helped me smooth out any kinks we ran into along the way. We got married at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete, and while I loved the venue, there were a few issues, specifically a second wedding on the property at the exact same time, that I was a little bit worried about. Lisa worked as my liaison with the entire staff at the museum to make sure that both events would go seamlessly (and sure enough- they did!) But more than that, she stepped in and made me feel like our wedding was her top priority. She went above and beyond at every turn, even attending to details like providing us with a birdcage for cards, markers for our guestbook, water buckets for our sparkler exit. It was so nice to know that if there was anything I didn't think of, the Exquisite Events team already had.

nd needed some help. I didn't think I could afford a planner but I was pleasantly surprised! They were totally within my budget. She was the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Not only did she work with me the day of the wedding but she literally guided me for the entire month leading up and handled so many things that I would have never even known to do! She was so professional, honest and on top of every little thing. I am so grateful that I made the choice to go with Exquisite Events. I would have been lost without Lisa. Plus, she's super cool so you feel like you are working with an old friend!

en about myself. Ashley quickly responded to any questions I had via text or email. I obtained many of my vendors from Exquisite Events' Preferred Vendor List and was impressed with all of them. Exquisite events was especially helpful for my Rehearsal and The Day of the Wedding. They kept my rowdy crew in order and made sure everyone knew where they were supposed to be from taking pictures, to walking down the aisle, to announcements. They handled all of my vendors schedules. The girls made sure my programs, bubbles, favors were all out in the right places and collected my belongings after the wedding. Exquisite Events really helped me keep my sanity in the days leading up to and the day of my wedding!

lanning simple and stress free! She handled her work very professionally, and was always extremely responsive and willing to work with whatever ideas we through her way. There were so many "behind the scenes" details that she handled on the day of the wedding that even we weren't aware of! The decorations and the set-up for both the ceremony and reception looked beautiful. Not only were we happy with the cost of the services she provided, but we appreciated how special Ashley made us feel on the day of the wedding. We would highly recommend Exquisite Events for any couples looking for a wedding planner! Thanks so much again Ashley!!!

inless for me. Being an out of town Bride, I wasn't sure about who to book for vendors in Florida. Everyone that Ashley had recommended I booked and they were absolutely great to work with. I couldn't thank her enough for that alone. Ashley was quick to respond and easy to get a hold of when I needed her. She went on vendor appointments with me and gave great ideas/ solved problems along the way. Come the rehearsal and day of the wedding, she was on top of her game to say the least. Because of Ashley everything was perfect. I don't want to not recognize her hard work she put in for my wedding but the day of couldn't of been any more perfect!

found us the perfect location for our ceremony and made it look beautiful! We are so happy we hired Lisa for our wedding!

ff had it all taken care of! I hirely recommend hiring Exquisite Events if you want to be able to enjoy your wedding :-)

so easy for us. They answered all of my questions and even let us ship some of our stuff to their office so I didn't have to travel with it!!!! On our wedding day everything turned out exactly how we envisioned it! Lisa and Ashley were great!

er control and everything looked amazing. Everyone had a great time because all the behind the scenes was executed to perfection. The ceremony was so moving and beautiful. From ceremony through cocktail hour to reception it was all done in style and total professionalism. Totally would recommend highly.

ner: organized, on top of everything, perfectionist. However, we hit some cultural differences with my family because of language barriers and just wedding styles. To me, she was very nice and probably essential to the flow of the ceremony/reception, but her tone was bossy and condescending sometimes, especially when handling changes that my bridal party had organized to surprise me. I think she is an AWESOME planner for those who are looking for a perfect wedding, who have dreamed about it, etc. I was never into wedding stuff, and my family just wanted a more casual fun time, nevertheless, her team (I dont remember their names, sorry ladies) was AMAZING. They were lovely, understanding, and helped me a lot with my wedding dress issues and other little things. They even brought me a Corona during our post-ceremony photoshoot, and did not say a word when I removed my slip in public (it was way too hot). They all laughed and understood that was just my style. ;)

ything you did for us and helping to bring together the beach wedding of our dreams!

ed her uplighting and it was Amazing!! I highly recommend her and her staff!!

ok all the hassle out of finding a venue, photographer, caterer, florist, videographer and Band, all vendor recommendations were exactly right for us. She truly made our wedding planning and day go completely flawless. We did not have to worry about a thing, Lisa took care of everything and then some. We could not have planned our wedding without her, and we're extremely grateful for everything she did to make our day special. A big thank you to Lisa and her staff for an excellent job well done!!

where she came in. She found the linens, the chairs, chargers for the table, it was all perfect. Much of what we did was diy or items that we purchased and the end result look amazing! We were going for a soft, elegant, romantic feel, and Lisa definitely understood that. The ballroom was breathtaking. When I walked in to take a sneak peak I didn't want to leave. It was incredible! I would recommend Lisa to everyone. Her and her staff are some of the sweetest people I have met. There were a few issues the night of the wedding but Lisa took care of everything. I tend to be a somewhat controlling person, so letting go of things for the night was easy knowing that Lisa was there to take care it all. I had no doubt that things would be exactly how I wanted them to be. She gave me the wedding of my dreams!

setup the ceremony and reception venues better than I could have imagined. They are AWESOME!!

for them. But luckily, they were there, and the wedding was absolutely perfect. Lisa and Ashley exceeded our expectations as far as coordinating goes, and I felt completely stress free and confidant that everything was going to be wonderful. It was such a relief to know that everything was taken care of, and all I had to worry about was having a good time. Trust me, if you are on the fence about having a planner, do it. You won't be sorry. And choosing Lisa and Ashley will be the smartest move you make. They are the best.

sa 2 years ago (yes, I had a long engagement) and pretty much told her I wanted to do a lot of stuff myself and we were going to drive to FL and she on super short notice - she had just flown in from vaca and she met us on a Sunday night to discuss our wedding 2 years away since we were in Florida that weekend. That was the first thing that impressed me about her. Not only was I very happy with her packages, but she was the only vendor we met who offered a Military Discount - extra points there! After that - Lisa was absolutely the BEST - she let us ship (probably way too much stuff) to her in FL in prep for our day - she & Ashley handled it all - organized everything and when we got down there a week before our wedding - I felt like I had nothing left to do...she handled everything PERFECTLY - it was everything this super control freak wanted and she NAILED IT! Her and her team even did a better job than I could have ever anticipated. I've heard all kinds of stories about wedding planners - good and bad - I think I hired the BEST one in the country - she truly did her job - I did not have to worry about a thing and she was so super well organized, sweet and fabulous - I feel like we made a new friend. Hire Lisa and her team and she will treat you like the only bride that she has...she does what she is supposed to do (and much more) and handles your day so you have to do nothing but have fun!

amazing with getting back to me with emails and Lisa and her team did an awesome job at the wedding and rehearsal. They kept us moving and organized!

RAIN came and everything had to get moved in the matter of hours but they handled it all like the pros that they are. I should have known from the beginning that everything would be just fine but the stress for a wedding day was unimaginable! Best advice I could give to anyone planning a wedding is to get a wedding coordinator like Lisa and Ashley because it is seriously the best money that ever could have been spent!!! If you don't have a day-of coordinator- book them NOW! You won't regret it! It could make or break a wedding and the whole experience! Lisa will help you through the entire journey with advice, great ideas, suggestions with vendors and ways to save money, etc so that everything in the end is really exquisite! Put your faith in her and her team to have the best wedding ever and to make the best situation out whatever happens - even if the rain comes. :) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU LISA AND ASHLEY for an amazing wedding. Couldn't have done it without you guys!

re very quick responding to emails and messages. I've been told by so many people that my wedding was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to and I spent half of what most people do. My wedding was more than I could have dreamed of it being, it was absolutely perfect! Thank you Lisa and Ashley for giving me a day I will never forget!

nation was money very well spent!! It wasn’t just day of, she provided so much great advice on planning and securing vendors. AND she & staff ensured we could enjoy the event and be free of planning & execution details at the wedding. The beach wedding, a mixture of casual & formal, went without a hitch. I vaguely remember her asking me about coffee to go with the cake--something I had made a big deal about prior to the wedding but had not included in the food vendor’s duties--but at that moment I cared less. She smiled & moved on her way and made sure the guests had good coffee to go with their cake! I cannot say enough about the services she provides and how easy it was to work with her!!

was well organized and took control with regard to my vendors. She prepared herself in advance and really listened when I described my vision for how the wedding should go. On the day of the wedding, I never lifted a single finger. She took care of everything and never even had to consult me on one issue. She already knew what I would want and she executed it flawlessly. My wedding day was nothing short of perfection and I know that I have Lisa to thank for it.

e felt heard and looked out for and had an immense sense of calm throughout our entire wedding day. The best wedding present we gave each other was Lisa and the ability to enjoy the day that we had anticipated for so long. I recommend Lisa to anyone who wants to be happy and relish in every moment of their wedding day.

answered all of my random questions, and on our wedding day she really came through with so many important details (like who will carry the sand ceremony kit back to the hotel!) - we are so happy we found Lisa to help us with our wedding and recommend her for any wedding. Ours was 50 people on the beach with an outdoor reception, and our family all say it was the best wedding they've ever attended :)

was warm and helpful and we enjoyed them very much too. Lisa was wonderful. I highly recommend Exquisite Events. My daughter was very happy on her wedding day and Lisa and her staff were a big part of making that happen.

less Dream Wedding for my daughter and son-in-law. Cindy (Mother of the Groom) and I were totally free to relax and enjoy! Quite honestly, until the actual day of the wedding I had doubts about the need for the Exquisite Events Team but I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG! Our children are opinionated and hence wanted to chose all their vendors but Lisa knows everyone in the St Petersburg area and had all the vendors coordinated and working as a smooth machine (get a list from Lisa, including the City of St. Petersburg and the carriage service who were instrumental). Everything happened with flawless coordination to make for the perfect dream wedding for our Princess. Their best recommendation was having make-up and hair stylists come to the hotel and do everyone in the Bridal party's hair and make-up. Lisa's team was the important finishing touch to making Caroline & Ryan's wedding everything they had ever dreamed of. My nephew commented that the "bar had been set very high". Thanks Lisa
