We cannot say enough great things about Heather! I planned the wedding with my mom and we would have been totally lost without her. We had the wedding at a private residence and all of our ideas were thrown out the window once she came through and advised us on all the locations for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. She kept us on top of everything throughout the planning process and really cared about how we were feeling about it all! Sam was our day-of coordinator and she did a fabulous job helping all the vendors and placing the flowers on our cake (because we would have been too nervous to do it). From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank Heather enough for all the hard work she did! The day came and it was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined or thought possible and it was all thanks to Heather and her amazing ideas! Thank you Heather! We love you!! More...

I don’t think I can explain how appreciative I am of Heather and the whole Blue Skies team! She made sure to keep me calm during the whole planning process, even when I was out of town for work multiple times for a new job. Heather helped me find the best vendors for us, our style, within our budget, and reliable. Our wedding day could not have run as smooth as it did without her. She kept everyone on schedule and even was able to sew and fix all of our wardrobe malfunctions!! I know there was even more things she did to save the day and I am truly appreciative. You will not regret using her! Thank you!!! More...

I just got married this past weekend, I don’t know where to begin. Kara and Chris were my day of coordinators. Amazing, helpful, life savers ! !! Heather the owner went above and beyond with her team to make sure my day was nothing less than perfect. I was so stressed out and heather and her team were my peace. They assured me
All will go ok and took on so many tasks and helped me in so many ways that they didn’t have to. They were there for me through all my meetings with my venue and took time out of there days to support me and my fiancé in all the stress that accrued due to issues with our venue.

Five stars across the board! Chris and Heather of Blue Skies Events are amazing. They were referred to me by a friend who got married a few months before and she had nothing but wonderful things to say about their service. The moment they took over the planning I felt so relieved because they had a their bases covered and came 200% prepared. They were warm and friendly yet professional throughout the entire process. Even when things started going wrong, due to Hurricane Dorian, they managed to help us figure out small details and completely handled the bigger details so my husband and I didn't have to worry. They stayed on top of every detail and made sure that not only my husband and I were taken care of, but also the guests as well as the other vendors. Hiring them was the best decision we made in our planning process. They really are wonderful people who provide and OUTSTANDING service. More...

My husband and I decided to have a surprise wedding and knew we would need help to pull it off. Heather was our planner and she was fabulous. We had about four months to plan our 150 guest event and she made the process practically effortless. She had ideas for venues, florists, decor, photography, furniture rental--literally everything that you could possibly need for a wedding. Heather kept track of everything and was the primary contact for all the different vendors. I still (almost a year and a half later) have people come up to me saying that our wedding was the most fun wedding they've ever attended! More...

From the first phone call I knew that Kara and the Blue Skies Team was the one we wanted to be beside us through the wedding planning process. She deserves so much more than five stars for she gave us a magical five star wedding. Kara was with us from the beginning of the planning process and we are thrilled she was. From the very start she had been such an ally and right on point in regards to each choice we were to make, and there were many! With Kara there was always a smile, (little haha humor too when we needed it, lol), calmness and methodically leading us through the planning process. With dealing with all the personalities (just a few in our family), to designing, to the smaller and personal details – She is a genius! There are no words that I can use to express our deepest gratitude. The only wish I have is that I could have stopped time and my wedding day would have never end! We can’t thank you enough for all you did to make this momentous occasion more than we could have imagined. We are so happy to now call you a friend too! Blue Skies is the best planning company ever!

We chose the couture coordination package, since I already had most all of my vendors picked out and all the big stuff planned. I needed someone to help me get the finer detailed figured out in the final weeks before the wedding, and to be there during the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly and according to plan. Heather was amazing! She made my vision into a reality, she was professional and friendly, and she handled everything with ease. It was the perfect day and I owe it all to Heather! More...

My wedding planners were Kelly & Heather. They both were very detail oriented, had excellent communication and even helped me plan our wedding out of state! Like most, this is our first time planning a wedding, and the overwhelming feeling that I needed to know everything was gone as soon as I spoke with them in the initial phone call. They took so much off my plate and allowed me to enjoy the moment leading up to the wedding & the wedding with my now HUSBAND!

On the wedding day, I would say I was as cool as a cucumber and got to enjoy champagne with the mother & mother in law & bridesmaids as Heather was handling anything and everything for set up and meeting with vendors on the day of the wedding.

Anything that didn't go as planned, and trust me, not everything is going to go as planned, Heather was our go to!

Best choice I made without a doubt. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

To my fellow brides, do yourself a favor and work with my girl Heather! I work a crazy job and had little to no time for wedding planning, but obviously still wanted the perfect day. I put ALL of my faith into Heather & her team. Our big day was WAY better than anything I could have planned on my own.

I didn’t know you had that in you.” It took all of me to not sneak the credit ;) but I had to tell him, that was allllll Heather and the Blue Skies team. My day was flawless. Not one thing went out of schedule or order. Heather was there for me every step of the way. From stress texts, forgetting emails, forgetting vendors, to not being able to make decisions; Heather would tell me, “I got this, just trust me.” I did just that and my wedding was the best day of my life.

I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Blue Skies. So many people keep telling us, "This was the BEST wedding I've ever been to", and we owe it all to Blue Skies and her team.

Throughout the process, Heather remained so calm, professional and supportive.

She was constantly two steps ahead, thinking of every detail and was so helpful in the decision making process. She made the process so easy and I trusted her so much that I didn't worry about a thing on my wedding day. I couldn't be more grateful for her help and expertise. On the actual day of the wedding, she ran back and forth from the bridal and grooms suite, and the venue, and did an incredible job coordinating between all of the vendors. From orchestrating photography, or Hotel logistics to overseeing the set up of everything at the venue, she was unbelievable.

She is highly organized, calm, professional, has ezquisite taste and fantastic relationships with the best vendors in the Tampa area.

I can't even begin to explain how incredibly happy I am with Blue Skies. I booked a month of coordination package during a promotion they were having and I did it without meeting with anyone face to face, which made me a little nervous. I really wanted to book with someone who would "get us", but I took a risk and it was worth it. Heather was incredibly responsive whether by email or phone. She even helped me pick my florist! (who I also LOVED). I had the pleasure of getting to know Samantha, who would be my day of coordinator, the week before the wedding. After my first phone conversation with Sam I literally cried because for the first time in all of my wedding planning I felt so relieved- like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. She said not to worry about a thing, she would handle it, and everything would be perfect. She went above and beyond my expectations. During our rehearsal she rallied to troops together (my bridal party). I texted her at 9pm the night before the wedding because I thought it would be better to eat dinner outside instead of inside our reception venue and her response was "you send me the table numbers, I'll draw up an arrangement and we work it out, you just tell me if you like it". She was so easy going and ready at a moment's notice for anything I needed. I mean, she made every single step of planning-up until the last minutes- so easy for me. The day-of was perfect and Sam was there to make sure we ate and had a drink in our hand- it really meant the world to us. She remembered every detail that I had mentioned, and would have totally forgotten things (like props for our wedding photos) if it was not for her. She is a total rock star.

I loved and looked forward to our monthly planning calls, creative suggestions, speedy responses, organized design, and flexible when faced with a couple unexpected change (I had a few family surprises) If there was ever an issue, she presented alternatives calmly and never threw a situation into our laps to deal with alone. She is very tactful and willingly interceded with vendors on our behalf; she suggested wonderful, reliable and talented vendors. We asked Heather and Samantha’s opinion on many subjects and received thoughtful answers and options that she also tailored for us as she got to know us. She was always patient about letting us add details here and there. They completely took care of the key players of our wedding party the entire evening. Honestly, we cannot sing their praises enough. We are all in agreement that, out of every decision we made, hiring Blue Skies is at the TOP of our list!!! More...

We used Blue Skies Weddings and Events for day of coordination for our wedding. Our venue did not come with a coordinator, but it was highly recommended that we get one- and I am so glad that we had Heather there for us! I am very organized, perhaps to a fault, and there was a communication mishap two weeks or so prior to the wedding that sent me into a panic, but Heather was so quick to get in touch with me and figure it all out. She really knows how to calm nerves and get everything together. She coordinated getting touch with all our vendors before the wedding so my husband and I did not need to worry about any of that. Anything that I may have been unsure of when it came to wedding details, she quickly provided her expert input to help me make the right decisions. Her insight is second to none! My favorite part of everything was her day of timeline. She makes it so detailed you do not even need to think the day of! Your entire day is laid out for you on a sheet of paper (to the minute!). That timeline really put me at ease, it was amazing. When we arrived to the venue everything was set up beautifully, all thanks to Blue Skies. She even took care of cleanup and coordination of our vendors after the event (rental pick ups, etc). Heather really makes everything the day of (and before and after) so easy, I highly recommend Blue Skies, our day would not have been what it was if it was not for Heather. More...

Q&As

We love building relationships with all of our couples and their families and becoming not only their wedding planner, but lifelong friends too! Wedding planning is not just our job, it’s our passion! We thrive on the excitement, innovation, distinctiveness, details and love each wedding brings. It’s an honor for our couples to invite us into their lives to be a part of one of the most amazing and memorable milestone events in their lives. We are just as invested in our couples’ wedding days as if they were our own. There is such a beautiful, underlying emotion when planning and telling the story of a couple in love through the design and details of their wedding day! Every couple is unique, and we love that every wedding we plan is a masterpiece specifically designed to reflect the couple, their style and their love for one another.

I truly love everything weddings! My mornings begin with a cup of coffee in my favorite chair next to my loveable dog, Lucky, watching an episode of “Say Yes to The Dress”! From concept to completion, there truly isn’t a detail I don’t absolutely have a passion for! Each and every day, I have the opportunity to design a couples dream vision, tell their love story and orchestrate every detail all while collaborating with couples from all walks of life! It’s AMAZING!!!

The moment when a couple or the parents of our couple’s come up and hug me at the first glimpse of the wedding ceremony or reception is absolutely priceless! Those are the moments that drive and constantly inspire myself and my team to just absolutely love making dreams come true for couples each and every day!

Our team consists of three Lead Planners and four Assistants/Coordinators, who all have very similar and strong values, are service-oriented, work well under pressure and know the importance of taking care of our clients to the fullest. We are not only here to plan our couples weddings, but to be their support system. Our team is our family! There are months when we spend more time together creating elaborate events than we do at home, but our friendships and our passion for the industry make it a very rewarding career. We are definitely all hopeless romantics and are each creative, innovative, energetic and stylish in our own unique ways. In planning, we spend numerous hours with our couples learning their personalities, likes, passions and more, therefore the relationship is absolutely key between our planners and couples! It is just as important to us, as it is for our couples, to be the perfect fit for one another! We believe that the most amazing events are the ones designed with our couples’ personalities in mind.
