WOW! Where can I even begin ...Tide the Knot made all of our wedding day dreams come true! We live out of state but always dreamed of having a beach wedding. I researched several options for a wedding on the beach, and landed on TTK. From t...he first time I spoke with them on the phone, they were nothing but professional and informative, but never pushy at all.
We planned our wedding via phone and email, and it was the easiest experience. We worked with Dee, our wedding coordinator, who answered all of the millions of questions that I had. She always responded very quickly and was very specific and thorough. As our wedding got closer, we had to submit a checklist of all of the details that we wanted for our day. I had a very specific vision of what I wanted, and they delivered!
I had a phone call with the owner, Lisa, about two weeks before the wedding and she confirmed every detail with me, as well as ran through the schedule of what the day would look like. This put me at ease and she assured me that everything would be easy and smooth.
When we arrived in St. Pete, we went to the TTK office to meet with everyone before the wedding. Lisa talked to us and told us the best places to visit in St. Petersburg. She was so easy to talk to and very friendly. Our photographer, Jess, was also there and just as wonderful.
The day of our wedding went even more perfectly than I could have ever imagined. Jess arrived at my hotel for our getting ready photos. She was on time and prepared. She made us feel so comfortable taking pictures and always made sure that we got all of the shots that we wanted. She even organized a "first look" session with my dad at the last minute.
When I arrived at the ceremony location on Pass-a-Grille Beach (highly recommend!), Lisa met me at our car and explained how the ceremony would go. Everyone came over to meet me and shake my hand including our videographers and our officiant. They were all so relaxed and it really put my nerves at ease. Their attention to detail was incredible. Lisa even offered to have us switch sides at the arbor so that the wind would blow my hair away from my face. The day before the wedding, I had texted TTK and told them that I had a charm that I wanted to add to my bouquet. Lisa met me at the car with twine to attach the charm without me even mentioning it. Those small details made all the difference!
The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous. The set up was everything that we requested to a T. Our officiant, Duncan, was absolutely wonderful and all of the guests raved about what a nice job he did.
After the ceremony, we took pictures with our guests and had a champagne toast. They also turned all of our guest chairs to face the aisle so that we could have a first dance and a dance with my dad. This was all last minute and they made it happen!
All of our photos turned out amazing! Jess sent us a sneak peak within days, which included 56 photos. We received the rest of the pictures and our videos in less than a month. I highly recommend adding extra photography and the videographers. They captured every detail of our day in such a beautiful way.
I feel like there is so much to say about TTK and I can never truly capture how grateful we are for them. Everyone was so genuine, laid back, organized, friendly, and happy. It is easy to see that they love what they do, and it shows in how beautiful our ceremony was! Book TTK - you won't regret it. THANK YOU, TTK!
