Grace & Nicholas' Thalatta Estate Wedding


With all the details that went into this ceremony and reception, planning this wedding wasn’t a walk in the park but it sure was full of excitement and fun till the very last day. We won’t have to go into detail about how much of a blast they had as you it is reflected in every picture taken on their special day. We are used to family members occasionally helping a bride and groom with all the details, but this wedding was a little different.  EVERYONE in the family was involved but only showed how very much they were loved!  

The bride and groom picked the lovely Thalatta Estate to host both their outdoor reception and water side ceremony. They had enormous luck, as earlier in the day it was raining in many parts of Miami but not a single drop made it to their party.  The décor was simple and elegant like our bride.  A few sea décor detail, and the very classic color combination of white and silver. Her lush white center pieces of hydrangeas and roses looked beautiful over the grey pin-tuck linens. Each table setting had a silver charger to match the silver chivari chairs. As favors, the bride and groom gave their guests a delicate wooden hand fan which was placed for each guest, adding to the already beautiful set up. They had a violinist and amazing singer perform during the ceremony, which then continued to serenade guests during the cocktail hour. Guest also got to enjoy freshly rolled cigars, which were a gift to the couple from a dear friend. It was the perfect afternoon wedding that led to a full night of partying.

The first dance and toast didn’t leave a dry eye in the room!  Once the tears were wiped and hugs were exchanged it was time to party. Guest danced all night and warmed up for the hora loca which was a surprise not only to the bride and groom but a big hit for all the guests,  including the mother of the bride and groom.

Hoping this dynamic duo is still having a blast in everything they do and loving each other to the moon and back. It was a memorable wedding for us and hope it was an unforgettable day for both of you as well.  It was such a blast to get to know you and your families and pray that you guys stay as strong and united always as it’s truly inspirational the love that surrounds you both!

Danielle & Frank's Vintage Wedding


This young and gorgeous couple had a very unique yet timeless style. It was captured so well in the theme of their wedding. They picked Miami Beach Botanical Gardens as the venue,  to have their intimate ceremony and wedding reception. The colors were black and white with splashes of vibrant pinks! It was the perfect combination of vintage and modern flair.

It all started with a cozy outdoor ceremony under the stars and a perfect Miami winter breeze. These two had waited long quite some time to become husband and wife, so to say they were ready and excited for their big day is an understatement.  The lovely couple exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family. Just as the bride and groom, the anticipation for this day was so great that there wasn't a dry eye in sight.

The Banyan room, where the reception took place was decorated to perfection and represented the couple perfectly. Amber up lights offered the perfect romantic glow!  The simple white linens offered a clean palette to show case the vibrant floral centerpieces. The sweet heart and cake table were dressed in black and white damask linens, which matched the design of their invitations, table numbers and  escort cards.

Just like your timeless style, we wish you both a timeless love with an abundance of happiness!  Thank you so much for letting us take part of your special night and trusting our team with your amazing day!

From the bride: I was too overwhelmed with the details of planning a wedding to do it on my own. Working with Events on a Budget was the best decision I made. I chose the wedding in a box package and it was so easy! We had access to experienced, professional vendors that made our wedding come together flawlessly. Everything was beautiful and it was so great, knowing nothing about weddings, to have a pro to get answers from. Them attending the vendor meetings with us able to offer us advise on what was going to look nice, or what not to splurge on. We are both so happy with the service we received and for such an amazing price. My husband keeps telling everyone that our wedding was the best day of his life, making me a very happy wife :)

Chris & Laura's Garden Wedding

This blog is coming out just in time to remind this beautiful couple that it’s already been a year since their gorgeous fall wedding. Chris and Laura picked Miami Beach Botanical Gardens as their location to exchange I do’s and to celebrate with friends their union. The venue had just undergone a major renovation, which made the location even more beautiful than it was before.  The gardens were a great back drop to their outdoor ceremony and a great place for some very memorable portraits.  One epic shot was on the red bridge in the middle of the Zen garden.

The décor and theme for Laura and Chris’ wedding was mainly garden inspired with shades of lavender, French blue, plum and touches of cream in the floral arrangements. The room was dress with eggplant plum linens and black chivari chairs . The overall look was simple and elegant, just like our bride and groom!


A few fun things that made the night even more special was the always exciting photo booth which guests had a lot of fun with and the always delicious chocolate fountain provided by Donut Divas. The sweets didn't end there, in addition to the gorgeous butterflied themed wedding cake they also made sure all of the guests enjoyed a delicious cupcake provided by one of our favorite places:  Misha’s Cupcakes.

 This sweet couple really made it a point to make sure their guests were happy and satisfied the whole night.
We want to wish Laura and Chris many more years of happiness and love and that may everyday feel like a walk in a beautiful garden, just like their special wedding day was.

From the Bride: "This is the best company to hire for wedding services. I met them for initial consultation to go over what vision we had for our wedding and they were the sweetest ladies. We booked them without even meeting with any other planners. Any question (which were like 100) they answered right away for me. Any changes I decided to make during the process were done without question and quickly.  They were so patient and made sure of everything I wanted. Their prices and packages are top quality and everything is amazing. They organized all my vendors a few days before the wedding so I didn't even have to worry about that. The day of the wedding went smoothly. I could not be happier and wish them all th best and definitely recommend them to all future brides. "
