Awarded Best of Zola
We're so so glad to have worked with Regan and Arms Of Persephone! From the very beginning Regan was incredibly organized, punctual, helpful, open, and creative! She truly nailed the florals for our wedding based off of the vibes we shared with her of our inspiration and we were in love with what she produced. Not only did she create a stunning bridal bouquet for me, but she absolutely NAILED the design for our wedding arch by adding carnation chains. We were able to use this not only as the back drop of our ceremony, but also behind our table as further decor. Regan also did a great job of working with my husband and I to stay in budget, while still feeling like we weren't giving up anything critical to the aesthetic of the day. She was absolutely wonderful and we can't recommend working with Arms Of Persephone enough!

Delaney and her team helped make our wedding dreams come true! I seriously love this woman, and you will too. From our very first call, to some exciting design meetings, to many many emails, ending in our perfect day full of magic, we were truly in the best hands. She and her team will help you uncover your vision, and send you to people they trust to help make it real. The sooner you book, the easier your wedding planning will be! They have vetted some amazing vendors, and won't suggest ones to you that aren't the vibe/budget/etc that you are going for. You don't have to guess, or consult with multiple wrong choices just trying to narrow down your options! And when hiccups inevitably arise, they are in your corner and fighting as hard as is necessary. Between 2 hurricanes and venues not having power, the stress was real leading up to our day. Delaney helped me navigate all of it confidently, and handled everything I couldn't. The wedding itself was so beautiful, full of love and such fun energy from my vendors (that she helped me find!), and no stress or worries about logistics because I had the greatest planner in the area. I had the wedding of my dreams, and I couldn't have done it without Wilder Mind Events. Photo of couple is courtesy of M.A.D. Images, Inc.

I am a native Floridian, Janova Events was founded in 2017 after numerous fundraisers for a family friend's ill 2yr old that needed a liver transplant. At the end of 2017, I developed a greater love for events. I began weddings as a fun hobby & it's quickly flourished into a career

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn’s team at Janova Events is unparalleled. Hiring them to help plan and coordinate our wedding was easily the best decision we made during the entire process. Her advice and guidance was invaluable, but where they really shine is the wedding day itself. We did not have to lift a finger. From setting up/take down, to communicating with the numerous vendors, to ensuring everything went smoothly…the list goes on. All my husband and I had to do was be totally present with our guests and enjoy our day! Some very special touches were when I saw her coming towards me during photos with an entire platter of food…I’ve never been so happy to see a crab cake in my life! And my champagne never was empty. Jenn even gave me the clip out of her hair when I was dancing so I didn’t have to miss a second of the party! Jenn also called our hotel to ensure we made it back safely after the “after-party”, HOURS after we left the venue. Those details are what sets them apart from other planners I’ve seen friends hire- Jenn knew what I needed/wanted before it ever crossed my mind, and ensured it happened with the utmost excellence. Janova Events is worth their weight in GOLD. They went above and beyond, and I recommend them whole-heartedly for every engaged couple!

All the music followed our requests to a T, and our guests are still raving about the party! Mike knew exactly when to cut songs short and when to keep the energy high, plus he was fantastic at emceeing when needed. We had two grand entrances, and both were absolutely adorable and perfect. Our customized music for our choreographed first dance and serenade moment sounded incredible on the speakers. The ceremony and dinner music were also spot-on, and the entire evening flowed perfectly. Mike was worth every single dollar, and I’d recommend AHE Productions to anyone looking for a professional, fun, and reliable DJ! 10/10!

I've been a wedding photographer for 11+ years I get to work with many down-to-earth and spontaneous couples. The carefree couples that aren’t afraid of rainy portraits, laughing until it hurts or tossing their shoes to run in the waves. When we work together my desire is that I’m not just your photographer but more like an addition to your bridal party. I spend a lot of time helping with your dress, making sure your hair stays mostly intact, holding your phone or make up in my bag and talking to your best friend about your craziest story.

My husband and I hired Joy for our wedding photography and our package also came with engagement photos as well. From the beginning with our engagement photos she was amazing! She was adaptable and made sure that everything was the way we wanted. On our wedding day she made sure everything was low stress. The pictures ended up perfect and she captured every detail of our wedding effortlessly. I don’t even know how she was in so many places at once! Looking through our photos made me so happy because it truly felt like I was reliving our wedding day. On top of that she is a genuinely sweet and easy going person that we loved working with.

After getting to experience some of the most fun I had had in the business I decided to stick to the services that fill my cup. I am so honored for those brides who have chosen me and trusted me with such a special day. I always give 110% and it shows.

I’m Anna! The owner of Maven Way, a floral design company based in St. Petersburg, Florida. With over three years of experience, I’ve done everything from arranging, staging, installing and decorating for weddings and events of all sizes. Like the flowers I love to work with, I’ve grown from the ground up and have been inspired to set out on my own to create Maven Way, a company founded in blending passion with tradition. When you choose Maven Way as your florist, you’re choosing bold, personalized design based in years of experience to make even the most wild imagination a reality.

Everything was absolutely stunning. Anna did an amazing job with our wedding floral arrangements. She truly transformed the ceremony and reception into A DREAM. We knew immediately from receiving our mood board that Anna had an eye for the aesthetic and had amazing ideas. Also, our bouquets were absolutely gorgeous and included colors and a variety of flowers that were exactly how I wanted them. She absolutely slayed with interpretation of adding unique designs and fitting in some highlights of our asian culture! Honestly, everything was just beautiful and perfectly aligned with the overall atmosphere of our special day.

Dolled up salon was amazing for my wedding Alyssa and Ashley came to my wedding venue and did Hair and make up for my Bridesmaids and me! They were very quick on communication. Alyssa took time before my wedding day for my trail to know more on my hair and what would be the best care to have my hair stay the whole day. Ashley took time to go over skin care and different looks for my wedding day. With their knowledge and care my hair and make up lasted all night. I felt well cared for even with changing my mind a little on the day of the wedding. I would recommend them for every event you may have!

I’m all about capturing the natural, unscripted moments that truly tell your love story—those glances, laughs, and quiet moments you’ll want to relive forever. My approach is relaxed and heartfelt, focused on creating a space where you can feel fully present and at ease. I love working with couples who want their day documented as it really is, embracing the candid and authentic over the posed. My goal is to create a gallery of images that lets you feel the emotions and beauty of your wedding day every time you look back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nadja is truly amazing, she's extremely professional, gifted with an eye to capture intimate, genuine and key moments of events. I hired Nadja as my wedding photographer and couldn't be more grateful of what she delivered. She is impressive not only with her work ethics of on-time delivery, and top-notch photos, but she's also very detail oriented, and helped us with our timeline, as well as capturing most important shoots, guide us the right poses. When I was picking photographers, I had over 100 quotes and I didn't know whom to pick so I consulted my friend who is an Instagram artist/celebrity. She immediately told me Nadja will be a future celebrity photographer and how special her shoots are from everyone else. I really wish all the best career success Nadja will continue to have given her amazing shoots, and will recommend to all my close friends who are about to get married! Thank you Nadja!

San Antonio, FL
  • Venue
  • Up to 225 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,350

We host dreamy, well-planned weddings + events that capture your vision so you can cherish the memories for a lifetime. Our stylish venue not only stands apart for its appearance, but the way we care about our guests + the details of your special event. The Colonial at Sunset is a beautiful space to host your wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, reunion, retreat, birthday party and more. We have on-site overnight accommodations so you can stay for the weekend with up to 16 of your friends and family. We have a variety of indoor and outdoor event spaces for both ceremony and reception, holding anywhere from micro-weddings to 225 guests. We get to know you as a couple, your style, and your vision, and bring those distinct elements to life on your wedding day. We are family owned and operated, and want to ensure your guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides event staff
  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Exudes old-world charm

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • Best for events with big guest lists
When I heard about the Colonial at Sunset and its location, I assumed it was going to be another barn venue. Nothing wrong with barn venues, it just wasn’t our vision for our day. The entire property was our backyard wedding dream and the owners made our experience better than we could have imagined. Britt and her husband went above and beyond for us. Before we even arrived to start getting ready for the day, her husband was out front pressure washing the outdoor area where we chose to have our ceremony. I am so grateful for their hearts and the details they payed attention to so we didn’t have to worry about it or even think about it. We opted for the all inclusive package which made our experience with planning that much easier. I recall one meeting asking if I was missing anything or if there was anything more I needed to do because it all felt too easy and she assured me that with her help, that’s how it was supposed to feel. Leading up to the day of the wedding we knew we wanted our focus to be on each other and God and walking into the day we knew we could confidently do that because of Britt and the way she serves others on their special day with excellence. If you’re not just looking for a venue but a family who cares about you and your day, then you should stop looking because you’ve found it with the Colonial at Sunset and their amazing team.

Our team prides ourselves on being professional third-wheels on your wedding day. We are perfect for those who thrive on love and connection, and are looking for bold and purposeful imagery. We have 2 wedding associates, 2 family photographers, and a husband and wife videography team

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.
