It was important to us to work with a planner who was easy to get along with and experienced in creating wedding designs that feel unique and personal.
The women at Wilder Mind Events are incredible! Their experience, disposition, and thought processes aligned with our personalities and vision for our wedding.
I wanted a wedding planner who was going to help us stay within our budget without limiting creative ways to make the wedding unique. It was important that they were easy-going and wanted the experience to be fun.
We chose Wilder Mind Events because their past work speaks for itself. You can take a look at a few pictures of weddings that they have done and know that they have a knack for throwing parties that are fun above all else. Delaney Driver was a complete joy from the first phone call, and we never had to consider anyone else for planning.
We wanted someone fun who did not take the planning process too seriously and was open to making the day feel like us. I have worked with and followed Wilder Mind Events on social media for several years and absolutely love their vibe.
They are creatives to the core, and I was certain they would bring our vision to life in ways I could not even begin to imagine, which they did. We were a pretty hands-off couple, and we truly turned it all over to Delaney Driver and her team. We were thrilled with everything they suggested and did for us. We could not be more grateful for their help and support throughout the planning process.
We were looking for someone who could have us show up on our wedding day. Bre is a very big planner and plans everything in our relationship, from the trips we travel to the food we eat, and it was very important that we found someone who was able to orchestrate our big day with little to no help from us.
We hired Wilder Mind Events because of the unique weddings they have planned. We were looking for something less traditional: bright colors, crazy requests, and inclusiveness of the LGBTQ+ community.
I wanted a planner who I would get along with, who was well organized, and who would listen to what I liked and disliked. I also wanted someone who would come up with their own ideas and get creative with my vision. I’m not good at planning so I knew I needed someone who was able to take care of everything and make sure everything got done.
I was talking with my friend about my search for wedding planners, and she said her friend was one who ran Wilder Mind Events! She raved about how organized Delaney Driver was and how dedicated she was to her career. I then looked up Wilder Mind Events, and I instantly was drawn into their website. It was fun and creative.
I spoke with Delaney Driver and loved how transparent and organized she was. She had tons of experience, which I liked. She showed me weddings she has done, and I loved her work. She was also local to the area and had tons of connections.
We were careful in selecting each vendor but it was incredibly important that our wedding planner would not only need to be organized, but we cared more about finding a planning company that brought the light hearted, fun energy Ryan and I needed in the final stages of wedding planning as it can get stressful! The entire crew of Wilder Mind Events are some of the most creative, unique, fun, and hilarious people I’ve ever met.
I felt like the moment I met them I knew they were going to be my planning choice as nothing felt too serious, and just overall fun, which is truly what wedding planning should be. They allowed me to have my moments of worrying and stress, but then they always just calmed me and took over anything I needed with their easy-going nature and true loving personalities. I feel like I made some amazing friends with Morgan, Delaney and Demi after the weekend was over.
We wanted a team who was creative, friendly, and detail-oriented. We needed more than just a wedding coordinator — we needed someone who could help bring together some of the ideas we already had and turn them into a cohesive, aesthetically beautiful celebration. It was important to us to have a team who could both organize and elevate our vision while making the process fun and stress-free,
We hired Wilder Mind Events because they seemed detailed, creative, and fun. Delaney and Demi were the most incredible people to work with. Their attention to detail and organization made everything run so smoothly, and all their efforts truly made our wedding feel like the perfect day. Delaney is incredibly creative, and when I was unsure about some details, she absolutely nailed it with her amazing ideas. It felt like she really captured our vibe as a couple and created the atmosphere we wanted. They both really put us at ease, which allowed us to fully enjoy every moment without worrying about the logistics. It also spoke volumes that every vendor we worked with always sang their praises. We booked the partial planning package, and it was so worth it!
I wanted a nontraditional wedding planner that had a colorful, fun style. I also wanted someone more affordable.
I chose Wilder Mind Events because we share the same style, and they offer great pricing. I really trusted them to fulfill their vision, and they were very patient and understanding with all of my nervous-bride questions.
We wanted a wedding planner who was readily available, flexible with ideas, comfortable with delegating and directing guests and vendors, had personality compatibility with us, and was within our budget. We chose Wilder Mind Events because they checked all the boxes and were eager to get started planning our special day.
When talking about Delaney Driver specifically, I could not sing her praises enough. About a week before the wedding, we were faced with some extremely difficult decisions because of Hurricane Helene. Our reception venue didn’t have power less than 24 hours before the wedding, and Delaney stepped up with several alternative options, providing us with peace of mind and reassurance every step of the way that she would do everything and anything within her power to make this wedding everything we had dreamed of it being.
We ended up completely switching venues several hours before the welcome party started, and everything ended up being absolutely beautiful and unforgettable—all thanks to our amazing, kind, and caring wedding planner Delaney, and the wonderful, dedicated vendors she had connected us with. I cannot thank Delaney and the Wilder MindEvents event planners enough for saving the best day of our lives.
I wanted a day-of coordinator to ensure everything ran smoothly so our friends and family could simply enjoy the day without any added responsibilities. When I came across Wilder Mind Events, I was immediately drawn to their unique style. After speaking with Delaney, I knew they would be perfect. She is professional, easy to talk to, and someone you genuinely want to hang out with.
We booked their Wild package, which included month-of and day-of coordination. About 60 days out, we did a venue walkthrough, reviewed our vendor information, and went over all our details. Prior to the wedding, Delaney set up our timeline, confirmed details with our vendors, and ran our rehearsal. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend their service to everyone.
We decided we needed a wedding planner because ideas were getting out of control and we needed someone who could make it come to life and see our vision. We needed someone who knew prices and could give us comparisons to choose from. We wanted to be savvy without compromising quality. Our wedding planner fell into our laps as a gift from God. Delaney and Morgan from Wilder Mind Events were at multiple wedding we attended, and they know how to bring a room to life with their eye for detail. They are worth every single penny and more. Delaney showed up to every meeting with a ‘punch list;’ she meant business and was always ready to go. She never said no to an idea. She would think about it, even dream about our wedding day, and that is where the magic happens. Despite personal health challenges, she took any call or email we had. She never once made us feel we were getting any less of her. I just can’t say enough about her as a human and a business owner. She is a true warrior she fought for her health, and she fought to give us our dream wedding. She is savvy and knows what vendors to use to make your money go a long way.
Morgan came to every meeting and then stepped in during Delaney’s absence. Fast forward to wedding day, Morgan was more like the maid of honor, she pinned my dress when a bustle broke, she helped me change into my new dress, she magically dropped off so many things at the hotel before we even got back to the room at night. We woke up to find she saved one of every dessert for us to try. She was the real MVP and seven months pregnant!” the bride beamed. “It really is amazing how the team came together on Leap Day and coordinated so many vendors to make our dreams come true. We would 100% recommend a wedding planner like Wilder Mind Events because just when you think you can handle it all, it’s just so much better not to have any added stress on your big day. They truly went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful for them. You pay for their expertise and they deliver.
I wanted someone who would listen to me and ensure my vision would be executed to the best of their ability. When I looked on Wilder Mind Events‘ Instagram, I knew immediately they were the one! With the work they’ve done, I knew they’d be able to understand my vision. Their service was exceptional! Anything I needed, they were there to ensure it got taken care of.
We were looking for someone who could bundle up all our ideas and add to them with their creativity. We also wanted someone who paid a lot of attention to detail and timelines to ensure the day ran smoothly.
We hired Wilder Mind Events because the business owner, Delaney, is a dear friend of ours, and we have had the pleasure of working beside her for a couple of weddings. Her eye for detail and amazing personality made it a no-brainer to ask her to help plan our day!
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.
We looked for someone who could just take our vision and run with it. We both work full-time jobs and with me being in the medical field, it was very hard to plan a wedding myself. I knew there would be meetings I couldn’t attend, and it really helped to have a team able to support those moments.
Delaney from Wilder Mild Events was perfect from start to finish. She really did a great job of keeping everything in order, from the checklist to the final project. Delaney was on top of everything and kept me sane; she understood how busy we both were and made it very easy by taking our vision and helping make it come to life. She was the best help and was there for the whole process from start to finish. We couldn’t have done all of this without Wilder Mild Events.
I looked for someone down to earth but super into the details. We wanted someone who aligned with our own personalities and understood where we were coming from.
We loved working with Wilder Mind Events! Delaney is awesome and did a great job, especially on the day of to ensure our big day went smoothly, despite all the behind-the-scenes chaos that inevitably happens with weddings.
I needed someone who was not afraid to be a little unconventional and wild. JT and I wanted our wedding to reflect our laid-back energy as a couple and did not want to follow typical traditions. We wanted something memorable and uniquely us. I inquired with a handful of wedding planners, but my phone call with Delaney confirmed that ‘girls who get it, get it. Those who don’t, don’t.’ I just knew she was our perfect match.
I absolutely adore Delaney and all of the Wilder Mind Events team. During my planning process, I actually reached out to Delaney and became one of her day of coordination assistants, so I was able to gain hands-on experience in the wedding world and see how she and her team worked executing wedding weekends. Wilder Minds embodies what it means to be a chill, easygoing, type-A person. Last minute change to the ceremony lineup? Handled. Vendors who need a detailed wedding itinerary of load-in and out times? Done. Does the bride want a waterfall or a menu napkin fold? Waterfall, we spoke about it this morning.
On my wedding day, I think Delaney asked me a total of three questions and coordinated and handled the rest. Did I know about the wedding crashers who tried to utilize my open bar? Nope. Did I stress out over the random morning market that went past the proposed end time and prevented my vendors from reaching the venue? Nope. I cannot even begin to tell you how flawlessly my wedding weekend went, and it was because I hired some of the best women in the business.
We chose Wilder Mind Events because Delaney is committed to bringing her couple’s vision to life. She takes an active role in the design of the event, not just coordination. I had never even been in a wedding before, so I had no clue what I was doing. I could never have done it without her!
Delaney is the one for a fun, creative, beautiful, colorful, hip, bold, you-name-it-she-can-do-it wedding! I am so happy we hired her, and only wish I had an unlimited budget that she could have gone wild with. I come from a family of artists and DIY-ers but didn’t have the bandwidth, organizational skills, or local knowledge to pull off a wedding myself. We chose the partial planning package, and Delaney’s experience and coordination were invaluable! Her preferred vendor lists, advice, and checklists made planning manageable.
Her day-of coordination and her assistant, Taylor, allowed me to have a worry-free wedding day. Her vendor recommendations all exceeded our expectations! On top of all that, Delaney was special because she understood our vibe and brought our vision to life!
We live in Boston, so we met over the phone and communicated mostly by email. Delaney was always both upbeat and professional. She was willing to go back and forth via email as much as necessary to get things right. My jewel-toned reception was gorgeous; it was everything I had hoped for and more! If you like color and fun, hire Wilder Mind Events!
We wanted someone we could inherently trust, who was also Type-A, organized like me, and had a fun demeanor, as the main goal of the day was to truly have a blast and not worry about a thing.
My focus was finding woman-owned businesses, and after speaking to Delaney at Wilder Mind Events, I felt we found a partner we could trust and lean on as our month-of coordinator. They had a fun eye and a playful demeanor we were looking for, combined with Type-A organization we felt was a good match.
Morgan and Taycora at Wilder Mind Events were a dream and really went above and beyond to help us pull everything together after Hurricane Ian. We had many last-minute-by-minute updates leading up to the day with our ‘plans A-D,’ not knowing how much damage the hurricane would lead to.
