Venue 650

Hello, and thank you for visiting Venue 650. It is my fortune to be a native of Tampa with all of it's rich heritage and to have lived in Central Florida with our beautiful groves, lakes and southern hospitality. We have always enjoyed an entrepreneurial spirit enabling us to live creatively and we believe this is evident in the style and charm of Venue 650. Now I have the fortune to be a part of your spectacular day. Our experience in the wedding industry has been truly exceptional as we endeavor with you to bring your dreams to fruition.

As a Winter Haven native, weddings have been a meaningful part of my life and career for many years. I earned my Business Degree with a focus on leadership, operations, and client experience; skills that naturally led me to the wedding and events industry. My journey began at just 16 years old working at a luxury bridal salon, where I had the privilege of helping brides find their gowns while also assisting with bridesmaids dresses and tuxedo styling. That early experience gave me a deep appreciation for the details and emotions that go into planning a wedding day. From there, I continued growing within the industry as an assistant planner with Roots to Stems, a professional wedding planning company, gaining hands-on experience with timelines, vendor coordination, and day-of logistics. Over the past three years, I have specialized in venue management, where I focus on creating seamless events while ensuring every couple feels supported throughout their planning process. Venue 650 holds a special place in my heart, not only professionally, but personally as well. My husband and I were married here, which gives me a unique perspective on what couples experience when choosing a venue and planning their wedding day. With both professional expertise and personal experience, my goal is to help every couple feel confident, cared for, and excited throughout their planning journey. Being part of such an important milestone in people’s lives is something I truly cherish.

I have a true passion for being part of life’s most meaningful celebrations and helping create memorable experiences for couples and their families. With experience in the wedding industry as an event manager, I enjoy assisting couples throughout the planning process and helping bring their wedding day vision to life. I also hold a degree in Business Management, which helps me stay organized and attentive to the many details that go into a successful event. Outside of the venue, I enjoy spending time in nature, especially near the water. The beach is one of my favorite places to relax and recharge, and I also love getting lost in a good book. I appreciate the simple things: beautiful scenery, quiet moments, and the joy that comes from bringing people together for special occasions.
