If I could give Legacy Events more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.
My husband and I hired Legacy Events for partial planning in March 2025, shortly after booking our venue, and...
from that moment on, they became so much more than wedding planners. They became our support system, our problem solvers, our creative partners, and ultimately one of the biggest reasons our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be.
From the beginning, Michelle helped us take our vision and turn it into something real. We knew we wanted an elegant Old Hollywood Glam and Gatsby-inspired wedding, but bringing that vision to life is no small task. Legacy Events helped guide us through every detail, from florals and décor to timelines, vendor recommendations, hair and makeup referrals, and countless decisions along the way. Every suggestion was thoughtful, every detail was intentional, and every step of the process felt organized and manageable because of them.
I also have to recognize Hannah, who handled my monthly check-ins and was such a wonderful part of our planning journey. When she moved back to North Carolina, Catie stepped in seamlessly. Not only did she pick up right where things left off, but she handled everything flawlessly. Autumn was also incredible and quickly became Catie's right hand throughout the process. Together, they made an amazing team.
On the wedding day itself, they were absolutely priceless.
As someone who is naturally organized and loves planning, I quickly realized that when it's your own wedding day, you need someone you trust to take over and execute everything you've spent months dreaming about. Legacy Events did exactly that. They handled setup, managed the timeline, coordinated vendors, oversaw décor, and made sure everything ran smoothly from beginning to end.
What stands out most to me, though, is how much they genuinely cared about me as a bride. At one point after our first-look photos, the Florida heat was getting to me, and they were doing everything they could to keep me calm, comfortable, hydrated, and upright. They weren't just worried about the timeline—they were worried about me.
One of my favorite memories from the entire day happened during my outfit change for the after-party. The running joke now is that I ended up rolling around on a banquet room floor with my wedding planner trying to get into my second dress. Looking back, that moment perfectly sums up what Legacy Events was for me throughout this process. There was never a task too big, too small, too glamorous, or too ridiculous. They were right there beside me for all of it, making me laugh, calming my nerves, and making sure I could enjoy every second of the day.
Our guests and family are still talking about how beautiful everything was. The décor, the florals, the overall aesthetic—every detail reflected exactly what we envisioned and more. Legacy Events didn't just execute our wedding; they elevated it.
Hiring Legacy Events was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. If you're looking for a team that is talented, organized, creative, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further.
Michelle, Catie, Autumn, and Hannah—thank you for helping create the wedding of our dreams and for being there through every step of the journey. We will never forget it.

Dear Michelle, Hannah, and the Entire Legacy Events Team,
Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality! Words truly cannot express the depth of gratitude that my wife and I fe...
el for each of you and the extraordinary work that Legacy Events poured into making our destination wedding an absolute dream come true.
From the very moment we selected your company, through the inception and earliest planning stages, all the way to the flawless completion of our special day, every “I” was dotted and every “T” was crossed with precision, professionalism, grace, and care. Your commitment to excellence was evident in every detail.
As the groom, men often take a less active role in wedding planning. However, as a restaurant owner with years of experience coordinating weddings and large-scale events, I naturally observed every aspect of your operation, from planning logistics to execution and ultimately the grand finale. I can say without hesitation or reservation that I have never witnessed such an organized, polished, and seamless production. There is no other recommendation that I would ever make beyond Legacy Events.
Every family member, friend, and guest continuously complimented the ceremony, the reception, and the overall experience. The atmosphere, timing, presentation, and attention to detail were simply impeccable. What meant even more to me was hearing the overwhelming praise from my Mother and Sister, who together have over 40 years of experience planning and coordinating weddings themselves. They both repeatedly stated: “This was a phenomenal event! Everything was perfectly planned and every detail was spectacular!” I cannot begin to explain how much those words meant to me.
Most importantly, seeing the gratitude in my WIFE’S eyes, the joy on her face, and the fullness of happiness in her heart was absolutely priceless. Watching her experience complete satisfaction and genuine happiness made me feel like I would relive this entire journey over and over again without hesitation.
Thank you again for being the consummate professionals that are Legacy Events. Your passion, dedication, and excellence created memories that will remain with us and our families forever. You all are absolutely AMAZING!!
With sincere gratitude and appreciation,
Darryl & Stephanie Green

etings and check-ins with me beforehand, which made me feel so supported and confident going into the big day.
On the day of the reception, everything was absolutely beautiful and ran so smoothly. They truly brought my vision to life and handled every detail seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, they were always there whenever I needed anything and made sure everything stayed on track.
I’m so grateful for all of their hard work and dedication. They played a huge role in making our special day feel effortless and unforgettable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing, reliable, and thoughtful event planning team!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | An Unforgettable, Stress-Free Masterpiece!
My wife and I have had the absolute pleasure of working with the entire Legacy Events Tampa team for the last two years, and ...
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that they are the gold standard in the industry. After spending so much time planning together, they feel less like vendors and more like family.
Perfection in Every Detail
From the very first meeting to the final dance, every single detail was handled with precision and grace. Our wedding day went absolutely perfectly—not a single hiccup, not a single missed beat. It was a seamless transition from one beautiful moment to the next.
The Dream Team: Michelle & Hannah
We owe a massive thank you to Michelle and Hannah. They turned what is usually the most high-pressure time of a person’s life into the most stress-free experience we’ve ever had.
• For the Bride: They were fiercely protective of my wife’s peace of mind. They did everything humanly possible to ensure she felt zero stress, allowing her to truly be present and enjoy her day.
• The Experience: Their professionalism and organization meant we didn't have to worry about a thing. We just showed up and lived our dream.
A Night to Remember
The feedback from our guests was overwhelming. All night long, people were coming up to us saying this was the best wedding they had ever attended and the most elegant experience they’d ever seen. The atmosphere Legacy created was sophisticated, warm, and flawlessly executed.
Honestly, the hardest part of the wedding being over is knowing we won't be working with Michelle, Hannah, and the team anymore. We are going to miss them dearly! If you want a wedding that is elegant, perfect, and—most importantly—stress-free, Legacy Events Tampa is the only choice.

an 3 mo out) & hired them for day of coordination. But I got so much more than just that — the expertise, attention to detail & exceptional service are second to none.
These ladies helped bring my dream wedding to life & I am so thankful they were able to help me and my new husband tie the knot.
Cannot express how outstanding this planning company is & any other events (baby showers to birthdays) I will definitely use them again if the circumstance applies

I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with the team at Legacy for our wedding. She served as our partial planner, but the real magic came from the floral and décor expe...
rience she created for us. From the moment we started working together, she understood our vision perfectly and brought it to life in a way that truly exceeded every expectation.
The décor was breathtaking — elegant, timeless, and beautifully cohesive from start to finish. Every detail felt intentional. The florals were unbelievably gorgeous and became one of the biggest highlights of our entire day.
Beyond her design talent, she was such a pleasure to work with. She was kind, patient, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure our day felt special. She went above and beyond to ensure everything looked flawless.
If you’re looking for someone who can create a stunning visual experience and be a supportive partner throughout the planning process, I couldn’t recommend Legacy enough. She made our wedding feel like a dream.

ely invested in making our day perfect. Each of them played an instrumental role in making our wedding the best day ever.
The biggest reason I wanted a day-of coordinator was so I could be fully present and stress-free—and they delivered that and more. They truly thought of everything, adding thoughtful touches that elevated the entire experience. Our meetings leading up to the wedding made the final month feel clear, organized, and calm.
When a last-minute construction issue popped up at my venue, Michelle immediately advocated for us, ensured the space still looked amazing, and made sure we were properly compensated. On top of all that, they created my bridal bouquet, which was absolutely stunning.
I could go on forever about how wonderful they were, but the bottom line is that I am beyond grateful to have had these women in my corner. I would hire them again and again.
If you’re looking for an event planner or day-of coordinator, you truly cannot go wrong with Legacy.

My husband and I got married on 4/5/25, and unfortunately, we had several issues with Legacy Events Tampa that significantly impacted our day.
There was major confusion with the...
venue address — even though RSVPs were updated by family and friends, I found out while getting my hair and makeup done that every single guest had been given the address to the wrong venue. If my sister-in-law hadn’t caught it and my family hadn’t sent out mass texts, many guests — including our officiant — would have missed the ceremony entirely.
The cocktail hour food we arranged was never served and was later found untouched in a fridge — a complete waste. Legacy did offer a refund for the missed cocktail hour food, which we appreciated, but by then, the damage was done.
One of my top priorities was having photos with our guests, but this never happened, despite it being the only reception activity we had planned (we opted out of most traditional elements). Legacy Events claimed the sunset portraits threw off the timeline, but the last version I was sent had cake cutting scheduled for 6:30 and guest photos at 6:45. Our photographer confirmed she didn’t start sunset portraits until around 7:20. Nothing was happening in that hour except dinner. Legacy also claimed the portraits took 1.5 hours, but we were back inside before sunset, so this is a huge exaggeration and our cake cutting didn’t happen until after 8 PM. Also, at one point, both coordinators followed us out to watch portraits, leaving no one managing the reception except family.
There were other issues as well. The wrong frames were ordered for our décor, despite prior confirmation. Legacy offered $200 for the error, but that didn’t even cover the cost of the replacements I had to purchase last-minute the night before the wedding from Amazon. No real solution was offered — I had to handle it myself. We were also never sent a finalized or updated timeline leading up to the wedding. On the day, my husband and I often didn’t know where to be — I even had to go get him from the sweetheart table and tell him we were supposed to do our grand entrance.
Worst of all, when we raised these concerns with the owner the following Monday, Legacy Events took no accountability. Instead, they blamed us, our family, and other vendors. Without our consent, they even emailed our vendors claiming we were unhappy with their services and were requesting refunds — which we never asked for. We had to personally call and apologize to each vendor.
While our florals were beautiful, the overall experience was stressful and disappointing. In hindsight, I wish I had hired a new planning company after our original venue fell through in December as they had already designed and sent out our invitations extremely last minute (they went out beginning of November for a December 10th wedding) AND they sent them out during election week causing further delay. At this point, we’re not even seeking a refund — we just want to ensure other couples are aware and don’t have to experience what we went through. A wedding should be joyful and memorable — instead, we were left feeling frustrated by how poorly our event was managed. Future couples, please do your research before selecting a company to handle one of the most important days of your life. An event company is supposed to take away the stress of planning, not add to it!

ination for my daughter's wedding of 164 guest . From the beginning they were very organized with an online shared portal with reminders, so nothing was forgotten, pictures of our decor and vision, and all of our vendor information. They took over full vendor communication to make sure everyone was on the same page and nothing was forgotten. Olivia was the absolute best ! She was very organized and her communication with us was on point . We met weekly to discuss our day of plan, she organized our rehearsal , and was there day of from start to finish with her team . Legacy also did our wedding flowers , which were absolutely beautiful !! They are a one stop shop for all of your planning and coordination . I can't recommend them enough ! The do it all from flowers, to decor, to day of coordination only. They helped to make my daughter's wedding a day she will never forget !

They helped me organize everything, went above and BEYOND, made my floral like the pictures I showed them (even better), and really made me feel comfortable. They took my budget, pictures, and ideas and ran with them! I felt more organized with their help and guidance and felt confident, knowing they had my back every minute of everyday! They are the sweetest team and are so good at what they do! I loved working with them and recommend you choose them! I can never thank them enough for what they did for me!🥰
