Christina & JC ~ Whimsical Wedding!

Christina and JC booked us to plan their dream wedding over a year before the special date. We were so fortunate to be part of their day and lives leading up to the wedding. In planning Christina always had a clear picture of the elegant and romantic wedding she always dreamed of. We started using the word Whimsical and both loved it! JC would just hear us and looked at us as if we were weird LOL. The day of the wedding, I really think he understood the vision and was so happy to see if come together and especially see Christina so very happy.

Their wedding day was just AMAZING! We were so excited to finally see it come together and both looking just Stunning!! They chose the rotunda at the Westin Colonnade Coral Gables for their ceremony & reception site. This was the perfect venue for her vision of old world charm. They decor consisted of cream and gold accents with florals in antique peach and pink hues. Amber up lighting and ivory draping offered the final touches to their beautiful decor!

Our favorite part of the night had to be their vows!! The love, thought and sentiment that went into each word could be felt and there was not a dry eye in the house, including ours.

Christina & JC: Thank you so much for trusting us with your wedding day! It was our immense pleasure to help you guys on such a special day and also share in the love that was felt that day. We wish you lots of love, health, peace and happiness. Also, "positive thoughts" :) for a life full of blessings! xoxoxo EOAB Family

Events on a Budget was the best thing I allocated part of my wedding budget to. They were amazing. From start to finish of my 1.5 year planning process, they taught me everything I needed to know about coordinating a beautiful wedding and did everything they could to help me when I was in a bind (many times!). Their recommended vendors were all fantastic! They even played part-time therapist and I am so grateful for the personal advise given to me... words could never adequately express my gratitude. They dealt with my 'zilla moments so well. They day of my wedding went without a hitch and were so strong and calm in my moments of extreme anxiety. They even dressed up our bridal suite, the cherry on top of the wedding cake :) This group is so dedicated to what they do, you can tell each and everyone of them loves their job. Would recommend Events On A Budget to ANYONE planning a wedding!!

Fransua & Sam - Downtown Miami Wedding!

For every blog we write, we really like our readers to feel and possibly even live those special moments that we get to share in with our couples. When meeting with this couple it was so easy to speak with them and were able to just get ideas flowing within minutes from sitting together. When you meet Fran she is quiet, soft spoken, and gentle. Sam is the tall and very built, which can lead you to believe he is rough and tough (and he probably is) but when speaking to his fiancé he was the most loving and caring person. You can see through his eyes just how much he loves her and of course he loves him. They had been together 9 years so this day was long in the making!

Their wedding day was filled with so much emotion. Her dad and grandma (90 years old) flew in from Puerto Rico. Sam’s parents recently moved back to NJ so he was overjoyed to see his parents again and was actually a pretty touching reunion. Dad and son got emotional which really touched our hearts… at that moment we knew where Sam got the gentle heart of his! Their families were so loving and ecstatic that this day had finally come.

Their ceremony was outside and the weather was perfect. We decided to do something different and instead of an arch or arrangements we used the trees as a backdrop to hang crystals and ribbons which flowed in the wind. The reception was classic and elegant with an all white palette and just a few pops of purple throughout the room.

Fran & Sam: We truly enjoyed the planning of your wedding and watching it all come together. You guys are two amazing people that come from wonderful families and feel so privileged to have met all of you. Wishing you a lifetime of health, happiness and love! Xoxox
