Lead Planner

Based in Tampa, FL and servicing all of Tampa Bay, our wedding expertise and 10 years in the event industry have transformed into a passionate couples focused planning company. It may feel both exciting and overwhelming, and we're here to not only help ensure everything is flawlessly executed but to also ensure you enjoy the journey! No matter where you are in the process, or how much support you need, we'll customize a package to fit your needs. Your wedding is unique, and your planning services should reflect that.

Our secret sauce is a unique blend of one-on-one planning, custom design and creative direction. Instead of juggling endless to-do lists and talking to 5 different vendors who all tell you different things (and prices)- imagine yourself chatting with your event planner about your big day over a delightful cup of coffee.☕ So if you're ready for personal support, help creating custom signage without spending hundreds of dollars on Etsy, and coming up with the perfect wedding entrance moment, then we can't wait to meet you!

Description

Our Full-Service Planner Package offers couples a full comprehensive and stress-free wedding planning experience from start to finish. This is for the couple who needs someone by their side to help plan and execute every aspect of their big day. With meticulous attention to detail and unwavering support, we'll be with you every step of the way, allowing you to enjoy a flawless, unforgettable wedding day, minus the headaches!

Needing a more customized package? This offering is perfect for those who already have some of the details in place but need help in specific areas of the planning as well as event management or day of coordination on the big day. We'll get on a call to discuss where you currently stand, lay out a timeline, and customize a package and price based on your specific needs.

This package is perfect for those who already have their vision in place, a potential venue booked, and most of their vendors secured. Based on your needs we'll step in a few months before your event date to get an understanding of all the details, provide recommendations, take over vendor communication and finalize any last-minute logistics. We'll handle all of the coordination on the day of your event and be there to ensure flawless execution.

    I can’t say enough good things about Marykate! She was highly attentive and always followed up to keep everything on track without me having to check in with her first. I had so much fun planning my wedding with her by my side and would definitely recommend working with her if you are looking for a planner who cares about your wedding just as much as you do!

  • Made planning fun!

    I’m so glad I used Events by Marykate! I was really overwhelmed by everything that went into planning my wedding, but Marykate made it so easy. She guided me through the whole process and made sure every detail was to my liking. Thanks to her, I got the wedding I’ve always imagined, while staying in budget (which made my hubby happy). I can’t recommend her enough, a true gem!

  • Always on top of it!

    After working with Marykate for nearly a decade it is no surprise she continues to thrive as a top notch event planner! Always organized, attentive and most importantly level headed no matter what is thrown her way. She is a joy to work with whether it is a small social gathering or a full scale gala Marykate is always on the top of my list!
