Engagement Session Location:

The Beach

Ceremony Location:

The Winterbourne @ the Club Continental. This location was absolutely PERFECT. The ceremony was held outside on the St. Johns River under a canopy of beautiful oak trees. It is a beautiful space that can accommodate a large number of people. The owner Carrie is very knowledgeable and is willing to give suggestions on what works the best for your wedding.

Reception Location:

This was held in the beautiful Victoria home on the Winterbourne property. If you are having a wedding with no more than 100-125 people this can work. A bigger wedding would be very tight. It was lovely. The only thing to watch is the time of year. Our wedding was September and it was luckily beautiful, make sure that the Winterbourne staff turns the air condition on several hours ahead of reception. It was very warm even when the sun went down.

Transportation:

We did not need transportation, the wedding party and friends stayed in the River Suites that are adjacent to the Winterbourne. These are beautiful suites.
 

Flowers:

I used Sally's Roses and More. Not a good choice. 85% of my flowers that I wanted were wrong. They also added flowers to the arrangements that I insisted that I did not like. They failed to deliver the flowers for the food tables as well. This was luckily the only thing that was a huge disappointment.

Gown:

David's Bridal- Beautiful dresses, however their service is horrible.

Bridesmaids Dresses:

Park Avenue Bridal- I loved this place. The ladies were so helpful and very accommodating.

Tuxes:

Afterhours- Make sure the guys try on their tuxes a few days before the wedding, 3 of my guys tuxes were wrong.

Hair:

Bella Amici Salon-Great stylist. Ask for Lindsey, she will direct you to the stylist

that she feels can accommodate what look you are going for.
 

Makeup:

I did my own.

Caterer:

The Winterbourne- They require that they do the food, however you are able to provide your own alcohol. That was a HUGE plus for us. We hired a bartender and saved a ton of money.

Cake:

Classic Cakes- The cake was delicious and absolutely beautiful. They were able to create the pattern from my dress onto the cake. Beautiful Job! The only this is that you make sure you clarify what each layer is suppose to be as far as cake type. One of the layers were not what I ordered, but it did not matter. It was delicious.
 

Officiator:

Pastor Randy Wilson, my childhood minister. It was phenomenal!
 

Wedding Coordinator:

ME! I enjoyed every part of the wedding planning. If any of you need help, I would be glad to help in any way possible.

DJ:

Music by Vince- I can write a book on how wonderful this guy is! He made our reception fantastic. He is very interactive and gets the crowd involved. He is very reasonable and is worth more than he charged.

Photography:

Our course, Mark Floyd Photography, there is no other choice. I was totally 100% satisfied with my choice. The entire experience with Mark and Tonya was enjoyable. Mark makes everyone very relaxed and captures the moment in every one of his pictures. He spends so much time with you and goes above and beyond what is expected of a photographer.

(This picture of Mark and I was taken by a friend of Lisa's   The friend asked for us to take a picture of her and her friends.  Then she insisted that she take our picture too!  They were so funny and had a blast!)

Gift Favors:

Personalized candles and bookmarks.
