OY WAS I WRONG. My daughter Alexandra initially hired a different wedding planner but never really felt comfortable with her. Too much of “whatever you want” instead of giving advice and suggestions. Being from the northeast, we knew nothing about Key West, only that it was a perfect place to get married. My daughter was getting concerned if she could actually pull this wedding off and then met with Vicky and everything changed. Vicky was exactly what my daughter needed. She is a take control person who gave incredible recommendations and followed through with all vendors. She knows everyone on Key West and it is needed. She is very hands on and organized. She had so many zoom meetings with my daughter and now son in law to make sure they were happy with all of their choices and to make sure all timelines were met. She even had my wife and I join in a couple to make sure we were happy with everything. She came to the rehearsal at the church the day before to make sure we knew how to lineup and enter and had us practice how pictures would be taken. The day of the wedding was were Vicky and her team really shined. As Vicky was at Casa Marina making sure all decorations and flowers were being done to her satisfaction, her team was making sure the wedding party was on time and guests were getting on pre-arranged transportation to the wedding and reception. They all were incredible. Vicky allowed my daughter to relax (as much as possible) the day of the wedding and actually have the time of her life. Honestly, we could have never done this wedding if it was for Vicky and her team. I could never thank them enough. She made my daughters dreams come true. If you are trying to decide which wedding planner to use, do not hesitate in hiring Vicky. She is AMAZING. 

gs with vendors, and crafted perfect timelines for decisions to be made which never made it feel overwhelming. She is truly a pro and a wealth of knowledge in the industry. You name it and she will make it happen! Vicky truly went above and beyond — not just for the wedding day itself, but for our other events we hosted and attended in the days leading up to the wedding. Vicky was instrumental in helping us find the perfect vendors, venues, and logistics for each one. Her local expertise and recommendations were absolutely invaluable, and everything flowed so smoothly as a result. Our guests are still raving about how attentive, organized, and on top of everything Vicky and her team were. Vicky is truly in a league of her own, and we’re forever grateful for the unforgettable experience she gave us!!

the process feel effortless. She brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have even imagined, handling every vendor, schedule, and last minute strategy session with grace and confidence. Thanks to Melanie, our wedding day and the entire week leading up to it was completely stress free and filled with joy, beauty, and unforgettable memories for us and all of our guests. Beyond being the best planner we could have asked for, Melanie has truly become a friend. Her warmth, dedication, and genuine care went far beyond what we ever expected. Our families still talk about how magical the week was, and we know that’s because Melanie made it all happen. We are endlessly grateful to her for making our dream wedding not only a reality, but an experience we will cherish forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love, Britt and Ante.

Instagram), and this was evident in the planning of our special day in Key West at Casa Marina April 2025. We utilized her full planning services, meeting every other week for a full year. Vicky kept us on track and poured COUNTLESS hours into planning our wedding weekend. We immediately clicked with her – we knew and loved that there was no B.S. to be had mixed with a lot of fun and love! Planning a destination wedding may be daunting especially when it is time to choose important vendors – Vicky made everything easy and provided amazing vendor recommendations along the way. Each vendor we worked with shared with us their highest respect for Vicky, always impressed with her planning work and leadership. Not only was Vicky our planner, but she was also our advocate in the wedding industry – this quality we learned is incredibly important to have in a wedding planner. Vicky committed to planning the wedding of our dreams, and that it exactly was. She brought our vision to life, and then some. Because of Vicky, our wedding planning process was smooth, full of fun and laughter, and most importantly we had the best day of our lives, without any stress. If you are getting married in Key West or the Florida Keys… you need the BEST of the best, Vicky Furman!

call, she had already reached out to every vendor we were considering and confirmed their availability for our date—before we had even officially hired her! That kind of initiative and thoughtfulness set the tone for the entire planning process. As a gay couple, it was deeply important to us that we work with vendors who are not only inclusive but proudly inclusive—those who celebrate LGBTQ+ love openly. Vicky immediately understood and honored that. She didn’t just support our vision—she elevated it. Planning with Vicky was so much fun—no stress, no scrambling. She gave us structure, kept us ahead of schedule, and somehow made the whole process feel effortless. By the time our wedding weekend arrived, we weren’t anxious—we were excited, calm, and fully present. That’s the greatest gift she could’ve given us: the ability to be in the moment, enjoying every second of our celebration. Vicky and her incredible team made magic happen. Every detail was perfect, every event seamless, and every memory one we’ll cherish forever. She knows the best vendors, offers spot-on recommendations, and brings such warmth, humor, and realness to everything she does. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, stop searching. Vicky Furman is the only one to trust with your big day. Thank you, Vicky and Melanie—you’ll always be part of our hearts and memories. We’re endlessly grateful.

tly when to step in and take the lead to get things done. From the big picture to the smallest details, they brought our dream wedding to life and handled a string of unexpected hiccups with equal parts grace and grit. Their calm, easygoing presence combined with meticulous organization made the entire planning process (and wedding weekend!) so much smoother—especially for two people with unpredictable and demanding jobs. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without them. By the end of the weekend, my entire family and friend group knew their names and spoke them with respect and admiration. If you’re planning a Key West wedding, look no further—Vicky and Melanie are the team you want by your side.

n and hire Vicky Furman Events. When we began planning our wedding with Vicky, it was immediately clear that she is known and highly respected by all of the best wedding vendors on the island (and there are many fantastic vendors on this little island!). Vicky is thoughtful, kind, extremely efficient, and — most importantly — committed to bringing her clients’ dreams and visions to life on their wedding day. If you have an idea, Vicky knows how to execute it perfectly. And notwithstanding her efficiency, Vicky was endlessly patient with my husband and me as we struggled to make time between our busy work schedules to plan this wedding. I can promise you, as someone who has very little free time, that Vicky will keep you on track. And as I changed my mind time and time again (about design choices; about whether we wanted to splurge on certain services), Vicky remained patient and focused and got it all done, even when I sometimes left her with very little time to do it. We were also lucky enough to work with Melanie—what a gem! She helped us make some crucial design choices with our venue and kept us calm and organized on our wedding day. Vicky and Melanie will work with you to make your wedding day everything you hope for. In the months leading up to our wedding, friends and family provided the standard warning: ‘things will go wrong, but don’t worry because only you will notice it!’ If anything went wrong on our wedding day, even we don’t know about it. Everything was perfect; Vicky and Melanie left us with confidence that everything was taken care of; and we were able to have a stress-free day enjoying time with our guests. Thank you, Vicky and Melanie, for a flawless execution for these difficult clients!

planning look easy - even with hurricanes in the forecast days before your big day. She can recall any detail about local vendors from the top of her head. (It's highly impressive!) She has a keen eye for details, and she gives clear instructions on what needs to be done/when. Our wedding day was pure bliss because Vicky and Melanie had everything taken care of. If you are on the fence about hiring a planner, look no further. You have found the best planner possible. Vicky and her team are GOOD LIFE CHOICES! They will make planning a breeze and make your dreams come true!

ream of. From weekly phone calls, helping us find and set up meetings with vendors, giving life saving advice, guiding us through all the planning, listening to our dreams and concerns, to even running to save the day with umbrellas when it was drizzling and telling us everything would be ok on our wedding day. She was proactive and very detail oriented. We cannot thank her enough. Our big day was magical!! We will remember it forever!

and professionally. She was an amazing sparring partner, offering creative ideas and thoughtful recommendations for top-notch vendors. Vicky's expertise and dedication ensured every detail was perfect, even from afar. We are so grateful to have had her by our side to make our big day unforgettable! Shout out to Karolina too, she made me feel at ease and super relaxed during the busy day!

over our heads. From our very first conversation with Melanie, we knew this was the right fit. She was down-to-earth, approachable, and immediately put us at ease. After a month of stress, we felt instant relief knowing she had our backs. We wanted something nontraditional that truly reflected our personalities, and Melanie embraced our vision without hesitation. She not only supported our unconventional ideas but also brought fresh, creative suggestions that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own—but absolutely loved. On the big day, we finally met Vicky, and she was incredible. She ensured everything ran seamlessly and was our guide throughout the day. It was such a relief not to worry about what needed to happen next; she kept everything on track—which, honestly, was a miracle in itself! Thanks to Melanie and Vicky, we were able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding as if we were guests. Without them, we wouldn’t have had the "best wedding ever," as echoed by everyone who attended. <3

showed. She spent over 12 months meticulously planning every detail of our special day in Key West, and the results were nothing short of perfection. Vicky listened to our vision and transformed it into a reality, ensuring every aspect reflected our style. Her extensive knowledge of local vendors and venues and her organizational skills made the process seamless and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding we were fortunate to have Karolina assisting us. Karolina was amazing! Her attention to detail and calm demeanor kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy the day. She was always one step ahead, ensuring that everything was perfect. Thanks to Vicky and Karolina, our wedding day was a dream come true.

t Vicky was so helpful with her suggestions and knowledge of Key West and all of the vendors in the area. She was professional and responsive, answered all of my questions and gave great recommendations. She was also especially helpful with wrangling all of my vendors who were on island time. Everyone prepared me by saying "Things will go wrong at your wedding day, but just go with the flow," but I can honestly say that the wedding day truly could not have gone more perfectly thanks to Vicky and Melanie. I had a lot of DIY decor and Vicky made sure that all of my details were well-executed, kept our vendors on schedule, and kept the day stress-free for my husband and me. Our guests raved about how perfect everything was and how efficiently the event was run. Our wedding was truly the night of our dreams and the best day of our lives. 10/10 recommend Vicky Furman Events!

uests were so impressed with how smoothly everything ran and it truly ended up being such a magical and dreamy wedding weekend! Thank you so so so much, so grateful I went with this planning service!

d 😀) and I had fallen in love with Key West over the years and wanted to share the history, love and magic that is KW with those closest to us. As someone who works way too much and hasn’t necessarily put together any “dream vision wedding boards,” Vicky held my hand from start to finish. From budgeting, to coordinating and providing options for everything from catering, to DJ, grooms dinner, photographer, to the finer details, I really can’t speak high enough volumes about the work Vicky and her team put into each wedding. They are professionals through and through. I would recommend Vicky and her team to any future brides looking for their dream wedding. Even if the wedding is small, there’s still SOOOOOO MUCH that goes into it. Vicky kept us on track and delivered the best party I’ll ever attend. I can’t say thank you enough to her and her team or recommend her any higher to anyone out there looking. Few pieces of advice for any future brides: 1) If you’re looking to do a destination, NO QUESTION, get a coordinator. I don’t care how well you know the “destination,” you need someone who knows the vendor network. — out of all the investments into this wedding I made, this one was absolutely the most valuable. 2) Make sure your coordinator is well connected into the vendor ecosystem and can provide you options that meet your price points based on your needs and wants. This person should be able to hear your vision and pivot accordingly based on what’s valuable to your experience and said price points. — example: a $1000 cake wasn’t for me. So we did cupcake sushi instead (which was candidly a HUGE hit) my family is still talking about it 3 weeks later. And was a 1/4 of the price point. 3) Find someone who makes your experience FUN, and as stress free as it can be. Can’t reiterate this one enough. 4) Find someone well organized, down to the finest detail, and has strong communication skills. I never wondered if Vicky forgot about me despite us starting the planning process early into the engagement. She was always on top of things, and despite working on multiple weddings at once, she never once made me feel like I was just another wedding, or that I was annoying her with random questions. She was quick to return texts, emails, and never left me hanging once during the planning process. 5) Find someone you can trust & who will complete the job. When we arrived at the venue wedding day, everything was even better than I could have even dreamed for. My family wasn’t running around searching for things, everything was out and ready to go. Sounds small, but the stress this takes off in those moments is priceless. Vicky & team stayed with us through the very end of the wedding and ensured all our belongings, cards, marriage license, etc. were taken care of and returned to our hotel. Sounds minor, but you'll be so busy during the wedding, it’s one of those things that are easily over looked but so so appreciated reflecting back. To conclude: If you’re looking for an A player for your wedding, there’s no where else I would ever recommend besides this team and will be thankful forever for giving us a night we’ll never forget.

honestly could not have chosen a better planner than Vicky. She is extremely responsive via a text or e-mail any time of the day or night and gets the task done immediately. At both the Church and reception both she and her team watched everyone like a hawk and was there if anything was needed. We will truly miss working with her, she is just a wonderful professional.

our planning! Every text and call we made to her was never a bother and always answered immediately. With us being so far away and having this be a destination wedding, we never felt out of control. They were always ahead of the game and made sure we did not miss one thing. Seriously could not have done it without her and Melanie!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and so much we owe to the both of them. Not having to stress the little things on our special day and actually just enjoy our wedding was the best feeling. Could not recommend them more!!

lt stressed. The day of the wedding her & her team were phenomenal. I swear she is a mind reader - everything I needed and wanted she had/ did / was on top of! Vicky is a true expert and super professional. My husband & I are so happy, what an amazing experience we highly highly recommend Vicky Furman!

ests even recognized and commented about how great she was. Aside from her professionalism and knowledge in the wedding industry.. she is one of the most responsive humans I've ever met. I don't think a text or email went more than a few minutes without a response. She's just great!
