What We Love About Wilder Mind Events
EST.
Our Wedding Style
Our style tends to be colorful and bold. However, we really just want to work with super fun and laid back couples that want to have a blast on their day. We also like to push the boundary a bit with your design so that we can do something different and unique for the day. Black and white wedding or colorful, we take them all if you are cool. ;)
Our Personality
Laid back, creative, detail oriented, and quirky. We will be the coolest lame people you will ever meet. We strive to be a safe space for out clients so they can be comfortable brining out their full personalities. What you see is what you get with us.
What Inspired Us to Start Our Business
I was already working in the industry, and other vendors were actually the ones who were pushing me to start my own business. After a lot of evaluation, I decided to take the leap and create the life I’ve always wanted!
What Makes Our Business Stand Out
We are unconventional and no idea is too weird for us. We thrive when you want to stray away from anything that is deemed “basic”. We also are extremely laid back and are your sense of calm (even on the wedding day!)

I’m a former college athlete who has always been on the quirky side. I was born and raised in Texas and my volleyball career has taken me to Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida. Athletic sports has been the main thing that has identified my life. In another life I would’ve been a professional hip hop dancer but for this life I’ll just be the weird armature that dances alone in front of a band! Most people would be surprised to know that I was never someone who dreamed of planning my own wedding. I completely fell into this industry and was caught off guard with how much I loved it!! It’s the perfect job since I’m both a type A and type B personality.

Non-wedding Passions:
One of my passions is relationships and beach volleyball. If I’m not planning weddings I’m probably hanging out with my friends or playing in a beach volleyball tournament!

Since we don’t live in the area and decided not to have a wedding party, we knew we needed a wedding planner. We were looking for someone who wasn’t afraid to do things a little differently. We wanted someone who was laid-back but organized and could take our ideas, traditional or not, and really run with them.
When we were looking at different wedding planners, we liked all the content we saw on the Wilder Mind Events‘ website and social media. The weddings and special events all looked polished but super creative and fun, and we just felt like we could trust them to take our ideas and really enhance them and bring them to life! Delaney and Morgan are the best!
We absolutely loved working with Wilder Mind Events! They were thoughtful and organized and made everything so easy for us. They were so supportive and never balked at any of our ideas or last-minute changes. We were also impressed by how many vendors in the Tampa area seemed so willing and excited to work with Wilder Mind Events. A few even commented during our calls that they loved working with them and knew the day would go smoothly (and it did!). We would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

I knew wedding planning would be stressful and wanted someone who had a calming energy to get me through the process. I️ was looking for a planner who could see my vision and, most importantly, someone who could make sure that all of the things I️ wanted would flow well to create a cohesive look.
I️ chose Delaney Driver at Wilder Mild Events because she was confident that we could make my vision work and immediately had ideas of which vendors would be best,” Alyssa raved. “She also has such a positive and laid-back attitude.

We looked for someone who was not afraid to be bold and had a keen eye for aesthetics. After speaking with Delaney of Wilder Mind Events, I thought she had great experience, fantastic offerings, and very fair pricing. Also, I liked her as a person!

We both have careers that take up a lot of time. We started planning our wedding by ourselves but quickly realized that we could not achieve the type of wedding we wanted without the help of a professional. We looked for someone who wanted to work with us to bring our dream to reality, could take on the majority of the tasks, and could bring experience to the table. The venue provided a list of planners that they work with, and we narrowed the list down to two or three based on their portfolios on their websites and social media.
We chose Wilder Mind Events due to their creativity. We saw photos of a Halloween photo shoot on their Instagram that incorporated a black cat. We have several pets and loved their creativity. We had an introductory meeting and knew they were our planners. Morgan and Delaney brought enthusiasm and experience to our very first meeting. They had wonderful vision and smart ideas but essentially wanted to ensure that whatever they did aligned with our vision of the day. They also gave us a plan and helped us to make decisions that fit our budget and our aesthetic.

We wanted someone vibrant, responsive, organized, creative, and extremely easy to work with, and it was a major plus if they were a dog lover like we are!
From the first phone call I had with Delaney at Wilder Mind Events, I knew her company was an immediate hire. She listened to all of our ideas, and within 30 minutes, she added to our ideas, and I could already feel our vision coming to life. She was honestly the best choice, hands down, I made for my wedding. She was experienced and had connections in the area where I felt comfortable with her guidance. She was patient and understanding with any concerns we had. She was always prompt and went above and beyond to ensure all contracts, vendors, and loose ends were tied up. We did not have to worry one bit on our wedding day. 10/10! The best service ever, and I can’t wait to use them again for future events!

We wanted someone who could understand our overall vision and make expert recommendations to enhance our day. We also needed someone who was going to help us understand the Tampa wedding market and be our ‘feet on the ground’ since we live in Georgia.
We hit the jackpot with Wilder Mind Events. Delaney Driver and her team checked all of our boxes and then some. Not only did they help us understand and execute our vision perfectly, they were problem solvers and advocates and made the wedding planning process fun.
