“While I found most of my vendors through word of mouth, Marry Me Tampa Bay was a helpful resource for understanding local pricing and typical package offerings. It gave me a clearer sense of what to expect and helped narrow down trusted options for the few vendors I didn’t already have personal recommendations for.”

“My only request was that the proposal not be super public, and Jack delivered perfectly. It was a quiet Friday night, and I was mid–deep clean with a podcast blasting when he called me into the living room. Slightly confused at what could be so important that it couldn’t wait for me to finish vacuuming my bedroom, I walked to the living room only to find him kneeling in front of me. Despite having picked out my ring weeks earlier, I was totally surprised since I’d been told it wouldn’t be ready for months. It turned out to be the most perfectly private proposal—exactly right for us.”

“When looking for a rehearsal dinner and welcome party space, our top priority was finding something close to the hotels we’d recommended to guests, so no one had to travel far. We loved Le Méridien’s historic charm, and it was actually one of the venues we originally considered for our reception. Our experience there was great overall. Our rehearsal dinner fell on Valentine’s Day, so we especially appreciated the effort the staff made to ensure we had enough space and privacy despite the holiday crowd at the hotel restaurant.”
