UNIQUE Weddings + Events is among the state of Florida’s leading wedding and event design, planning & production companies. As a Florida wedding and event planner, we are renowned for creative concepts, strong attention to detail, and creating unforgettable experiences for our clients & their guests
What We Love About UNIQUE Weddings & Events
We Love Weddings Because…
We are obsessed with the evolution from meeting a client and learning about them to creating a completely personalized, UNIQUE, and fun experience for them and their guests. Seeing a huge smile on our clients’ faces when they realize that we captured who they are, is the ultimate reward for us!
Our Wedding Style
Our style is your style! Whether it’s rustic-country, sleek-modern, or jaw-dropping glam, we can do it all and do it well! We also love it when our clients bring us UNIQUE inspiration – photos from a recent trip to Italy, your grandmother’s vintage jewelry, or a beautiful fabric that you came across. No problem! We can translate it into a beautiful and fun wedding for you and your guests.
Our Personality
We are fun and we want our clients to have fun with the wedding planning process! You are planning one of the most important celebrations of your life, if you’re not having fun, then you are NOT doing it right.
What Inspired Us to Start Our Business
After spending many years in the design field – working on residential, hospitality and retail interior design, I realized that I can take my education and experience, and carve out a niche within the wedding & event industry. We wanted to be the one that pushed out couples to truly personalize their wedding and not just “break,” but “rewrite” the rules.
What Makes Our Business Stand Out
All of our UNIQUE wedding & event clientele all share a passion for “something different” and they are seeking the wedding planner or event planner to help them achieve it. Prior to being a Florida wedding planner & event planner, we spent many years in the design field. We utilize our extensive design background, by taking our client’s vision to a new level and seeking inspiration outside of the Tampa Bay and Florida event industry, and incorporating new ideas, color schemes, and innovative details. Each client’s event should showcase their own voice, style & personality, and not be restricted by the standard event rules or traditions. We are not your typical wedding planner & event planners, but rather we are designers that plan events!

A Few Fun Facts About Me:
• I’m originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, so I spent my childhood hitting the Mardi Gras parade route & sucking crawfish heads.
• I describe my personal style as “preppy with a statement.”
• I like sweet wine and cocktails, but I also love a good spicy bloody mary.
• I’ve been known to spontaneously cut and/or color my hair.
• My guilty pleasure is anything Kate Spade.
• My go-to Starbucks order is an iced, vanilla chai latte.
• My favorite quote is “Make a bold mark, not a dull impression.” – Unknown
• My honesty can be loved and loathed.
• I love anything with tomato, although I’m still not convinced that it’s a fruit.
• My ideal client is sarcastic and may drop the occasional f-bomb.
One thing most couples would be surprised to know is:
I wake up VERY early on a wedding day. Rest is for the weary and I can rest AFTER wedding day! It’s not uncommon for me to be up at 3 or 4 am on wedding day – looking over the timeline, doublechecking my supply list, or printing our wedding day forms. I always want to be prepared for everything!
Non-wedding Passions:
My family – my husband and my eight-year-old daughter will always be my passion. They are very supportive of what I do and are always my greatest cheerleaders!

We looked for someone who can get the job done and who had done multiple weddings at our venue because we knew that they would be aware of all their restrictions. We hired Staci from UNIQUE Weddings + Events because of her experience and also her knowledge of our venue.

We were really looking for someone we could connect with on a personal level. Finding a planner we ‘vibed with’ was key to feeling at ease during the long and sometimes stressful wedding planning process. From the start, we knew UNIQUE Weddings + Events was the perfect fit to bring our vision to life. Their creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and openness to planning a non-traditional wedding set them apart. While many weddings include extended speeches, choreographed dinners with sweetheart tables, and pauses in the party, we wanted a cohesive, exciting experience that never felt dull, and Staci delivered exactly that!
UNIQUE Weddings was impeccable! Everything we loved about Staci during the planning process carried over seamlessly to the wedding day. She acted as our advocate and voice with vendors, ensuring that the wishes of both the bride and groom were honored every step of the way.

We wanted a wedding planner who was going to take our design ideas and elevate them to a whole new level to create a wedding that was truly unique to us. It was essential for us to have a full-service wedding planner because we wanted to enjoy the wedding planning process and not get overwhelmed or bogged down with the small details. We also wanted a planner who was fun to hang out with because we knew we’d be spending a lot of time together.
We had to look no further than UNIQUE Weddings + Events. Staci knew our vision and was able to find vendors that would be able to create our vision flawlessly.

We wanted a wedding planner who was extremely organized and took initiative to identify vendors independently of us. We are both pretty busy and we knew that we were going to need a lot of help in planning.
Staci at UNIQUE Weddings & Events was an absolute superstar! Staci was absolutely incredible. She got to know us very well and was able to execute our vision perfectly. She really created a masterpiece with our wedding. We are so grateful to her for all of her help. She kept us up-to-date and on task. In particular, I struggled with feeling overwhelmed with all the decisions and tasks and Staci went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and confident throughout this process. We absolutely could not have done it without her. Staci truly is brilliant; the way she was able to create an environment that was both romantic and comfortable is incredible.

We needed a planner who could listen to our ideas about the wedding and then present us with a bunch of options, so all we had to do was choose. We wanted to find a planner we both vibed with and who took care of all the communications and coordination so we could be fully present and also completely stress-free for the decision-making part of the process.
UNIQUE Weddings + Events did a great job of putting together vendor lists for our ceremony and doing the initial communications to bring us vendor teams that would fit in with our plans. Staci’s great energy and her ability to create something out of the nothing we gave her was why we chose her and the UNIQUE team to plan our wedding.

We wanted our planner to be detailed and willing to push boundaries rather than just look at our dream board and book vendors.
We chose UNIQUE Weddings + Events because they not only had experience with our venues, but their skill set is just unmatched. We wanted someone who could make nontraditional aspects still look traditional. The interactive design process made sure that no detail went unnoticed and gave us confidence in Staci and her team to bring our vision to life.
