Luxury Wedding Planning & Design in Sarasota & Beyond

We Take Care of the Details. You Get to Actually Enjoy the Day.

​Classic Celebrations, Elegantly Planned

A Look At Our Clients

Planning a Wedding Is a Lot. Hiring Us Is How You Actually Enjoy It.

You're not hiring a planner to hold a clipboard. You're hiring someone to protect the one day or one weekend you can't get back, so you get to actually be in it.   We believe your wedding isn't just one day, it's a full weekend experience for you and your guests. 

This is who we work best with:

-You want to be a guest at your own wedding or wedding weekend, not the person managing logistics

-You want a wedding that reflects your style & story (never cookie-cutter)

-You're looking for someone who will tell you the truth, not just what sounds good

-You're not just planning a wedding day. You're planning an entire wedding experience, and you want it to feel that way

-You desire a trusted partner by your side

 

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place!

"If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will always make you feel like a priority, the perfect blend of professional and personal, Laura Detwiler is the girl boss planner you need!"

"You're not a checklist to Laura. She takes the time to actually get to know you, what matters to you, what stresses you out, what you're secretly worried about, so the plan feels like your wedding or event, not a template."

The iconic Venetian-style mansion offered a stunning backdrop as golden light danced across the bay. Every detail, from the soft, romantic florals to the intimate sunset moments,  reflected their effortless love and sophisticated style.
