We Love Weddings Because…

We love to plan weddings because of how special the day is to not only the couple, but the whole family when it’s finally wedding day and everything has all come together. We love getting to know and be a part of such a momentous day in a couple’s love story.  We all have our personal favorite moments of a wedding that allow us to have a strong appreciation for every aspect that a couple wants to highlight on their wedding day.

Our Wedding Style

We cater to all styles and love to expand on visions! We have an extensive background of various styles and themes based on the personality of couples’ and how they want to showcase their love story. From huge colorful Indian weddings, black and white, multicultural, modern classic and even a 70s bohemian disco! All that matters is striving to make their wedding day stress-free, lovely, and unforgettable for everyone.

Our Personality

Outgoing, fun, charismatic, attentive, and open-minded with a bit of flair. We all offer our own unique experiences and styles to best help bring your vision to life.

What Inspired Us to Start Our Business

I was planning multiple friends’ weddings and eventually just kept getting more and more requests from their friends and family until it grew into its own thing! I also used to work in the hotel industry which pushed me further into hospitality. However, once I started my business, I grew to love being creative and designing new trends/inspirations with my couples and working alongside a team of amazing coordinators who are always down to push the envelope.

What Makes Our Business Stand Out

We are a close-knit team of wedding planners with experience in the event and hospitality industry for over 13 years now. Each member of our team comes from various backgrounds of the wedding and event industry including venue management, wedding dress sales, photography, hospitality management, and catering. This strength allows us to give a reasonable framework to couples on what to expect during the wedding planning process. Plus, we are all super close so being able to work with your friends adds another level of excitement to this career!

Meet Katy Martin

My name is Katy and I am the owner of Coastal Coordinating, going on 13 proud years now.  Anyone who meets me will tell you how much I love event and wedding planning – It is truly my calling and passion.

Here are some personal, fun facts about me:

My favorite part of a wedding day is bustling the dress!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception dinner unexpectedly at Waffle House due to COVID – But honestly, it was truly the best and I wouldn’t change one thing about it!

I am obsessed with pool floats, (you should see my patio), I just love them all. I think if I could take all my calls in the pool on my float, life would be complete.

I have two pups that I love more than anything, Hank and Lucy.

I am a bonus mom to the best girl ever named Marlee.

I really love to take chances and go out on a whim. Life is short and I plan to make the best of it! I always try to live life with the glass half-full.

Can’t wait to plan your wedding or event with you!

One thing most couples would be surprised to know is:

I used to dream of being an interior designer and then when I stumbled into wedding planning, it became apparent that this was my true passion. It ended up being the perfect blend of both worlds!

Non-wedding Passions:

Taking time to lay by the pool and travel with my family and friends whenever I get the chance. I love to explore and see new places and meet new people from different backgrounds. I also have an obsession with pool floats and mermaids!

Reviews from Marry Me Tampa Bay Couples

Marry Me Tampa Bay curates the below reviews from real couples whom we’ve personally interviewed. As Tampa Bay’s most trusted wedding planning resource, these reviews are 100% accurate and aren’t created by fake accounts.

  • I looked for a wedding planner who was organized, positive, and had a good vibe!

    I wanted someone who I trusted to make sure the day ran smoothly. We hired Coastal Coordinating because when we met Katy, we loved them and trusted them!

  • I wanted someone I could connect with, who understood my vision and was very organized. From my first call with Katy at Coastal Coordinating, she was very personable and relatable. She had suggestions based on my vision and opinions. It was apparent she knew her stuff, and she was very easy to get along with.

    – Lauren & Scott |
  • We were looking for someone who could help be our eyes and ears on the ground in Florida in the time leading up to the wedding, given we were planning from the Northeast. We also wanted someone who was organized and fun to work with because we knew we’d spend a lot of time working with them leading up to the big weekend. Sneh and I both have crazy work schedules, so we also definitely needed someone who would be able to drive a lot of the elements of the planning.

    Coastal Coordinating checked all the boxes described! They have such a vast, connected network down in Florida, and they are all incredibly professional and wonderful to work with. Katy, in particular, is honestly a magician with how much she juggles and still remembers every detail of her client’s wedding planning.

    – Deepti and Sneh |
  • We were particularly interested in finding a wedding planner with a lot of experience in the St. Pete/Tampa area and a strong network of local vendors and venues. Equally important was finding someone who could understand our vision and assist us in selecting vendors who matched our vibe.

    We chose Coastal Coordinating because they embodied everything we were looking for in a wedding planner. From our initial interactions, it was clear that they were well-connected within the local wedding industry and had a wealth of experience to draw upon. Throughout the planning journey, we were impressed by the dedication and expertise of the Coastal Coordinating team. On every call, and especially on our wedding day, there were numerous helping hands and extra eyes ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

    They left no stone unturned, making my Virgo self exceptionally happy. Thanks to Katy and Rae at Coastal Coordinating, our wedding day surpassed all expectations, and we couldn’t have been happier with their advisory planning service.

    – Katie and Sam |
  • I enjoy making decisions on details and having that autonomy. So, when it came to finding a wedding planner, I wanted one who could help me by providing resources and following up on finalizing details. We had a large wedding, so it was very important that they would be able to coordinate all the moving parts.

    We chose Coastal Coordinating based on the good reviews posted and seeing their work on social media. In addition, their price for full wedding planning was within our budget and financially feasible. The service that Coastal Coordinating provided was so good! Cayla was our wedding planner, and she was very patient with guiding and reminding me to get certain tasks done. On the wedding day, they were great with having everything ready and in order.

    – Thao and Jacob |
  • We looked for a wedding planner who had a lot of experience in the Tampa market. We also wanted someone who was easygoing and made the process enjoyable.

    We chose Coastal Coordinating because of their reach in the Tampa market. We saw they had done a lot of weddings in Tampa that fit what we were looking for. Our first call with Katy was very warm and inviting, and she made us feel at ease about the whole process, not overwhelmed. Cayla was our wedding planner, and she went above and beyond for us. She was very easy to reach and had great ideas, but also helped us create our own vision and worked very well with our vendors. We had a lot of moving parts with our wedding, but she made it feel effortless and stress-free and was super accommodating!
