Savannah Gilliam
OWNER AND LEAD PLANNER
At Peony Wedding Co., we believe wedding planning should feel supportive, organized, and genuinely enjoyable. Not intimidating. Not overly formal. Just thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and a planning experience that allows you to stay present in this season of life. We serve couples across Sarasota, Tampa Bay, and beyond who want a wedding that feels elevated and intentional, without the pressure or overwhelm that often comes with planning.
We specialize in full-service and partial wedding planning, as well as event design and seamless wedding day coordination. Whether you’re looking for comprehensive support from day one or a collaborative planning partner to step in partway through, our process is designed to meet you where you are. We take the time to understand your priorities, your style, and what truly matters to you, then build a clear, organized plan that keeps everything moving forward without stress.
Our approach is personal and relationship-driven. We believe the best weddings come from trust, open communication, and a planner who feels approachable while still providing confident leadership. From vendor sourcing and budget guidance to timelines, logistics, and behind-the-scenes problem solving, we manage the details so you can actually enjoy being engaged. Planning your wedding should feel exciting and supported, not like another full-time job.
On the wedding day, our team is there to ensure everything runs smoothly and thoughtfully. We oversee the timeline, coordinate your vendor team, and handle the details quietly and efficiently, so you’re free to be fully present with the people you love. The result is a wedding day that feels calm, well-paced, and beautifully reflective of you.
From intimate celebrations to full-scale wedding weekends, Peony Wedding Co. is here to create an experience that feels refined but never stuffy, polished but still personal. Our goal is simple: to give you peace of mind throughout the planning process and a wedding day that feels effortless, joyful, and deeply meaningful.

I cannot say enough about Peony wedding co. From the planning calls, helping me narrow in on my vision, all the way through execution - this girl is ON it!! My friends, family, and...
other vendors from the day were also blown away by Savannah and her team’s attention to detail, hard work, and good energy they brought through the whole process. Coming from a very type b bride who’s simultaneously very particular about her style - I would give her 10 stars if I could. I mean she made my husband to be a boutonnière on the fly?! I am beyond impressed and I cannot imagine this day coming together without them. She was there in stressful moments and exciting ones and was reliable the whole way through. I also want to highlight that I had experienced calls with two other planners before talking with Savannah and I left both of those calls with a pit in my stomach and in tears for how small they made me feel. From the very first time my husband and I spoke with Savannah we felt heard, supported, and finally excited to dive into the whole planning process. This team made all the difference!

I found Peony Wedding Co. because my venue required a coordinator, and I was also looking for something affordable as a full-time student. For the price, she and her team did not d...
isappoint! She was extremely communicative and proactive, making sure to gather all the necessary information from our other vendors to keep everything organized and running smoothly. We scheduled a final walk through together and had a timeline already printed out, which made me so happy!
She even allowed me to rent out bud vases for such an affordable price and that was an extra stress I did not need to worry about.
Any questions?

Hiring Savannah and Peony Wedding Co. was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Her partial planning took an enormous weight off of our shoulders and allowed us to focu...
s on all of the special details that made our wedding ours. Throughout the process Savannah was there to answer questions, give advice, present ideas, and make sure that things were getting done when they needed to be. The end result was a wedding which was truly our own, built upon a strong foundation.
Day-of, Savannah was there to ensure everything ran smoothly. She worked tirelessly to make sure my wife and I had an incredible wedding day, regularly checking in on us and taking initiative to fulfill any of our requests. The highest praise I can think to give is that everything went just as planned, with Savannah and her assistant coordinator blending seamlessly into the background, allowing us to fully focus upon celebrating with our family and friends.
