We had the pleasure of coordinating Jen and Ryan’s beautiful wedding at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa on May 30, 2010.  Here’s a peak at the slideshow created by their photographer, Ken Godwin:

I just got the sweetest email from Christina, whose wedding we coordinated in February:

“I never really got a chance to thank you for all the hard work you did. I am SO glad that we decided to have you coordinate everything and you did such a great job – I didn’t have to worry about anything and the wedding was amazingly stress-free for my parents, Brandon, and me!”

I had the pleasure of meeting Christina and Brandon a few months ago.  They had their venue, San Marco Preservation Hall, booked – and knew they HAD to have MoJo BBQ for the reception!  Christina also had some ideas on decorations, but needed help pulling everything together.

Having both ceremony and reception at San Marco Preservation Hall meant that we needed to bring in everything we needed for the reception – tent, tables, chairs, linens, service staff, and everything in between.

We called Kirby Rental to handle most everything we needed, and booked service staff from Hospitality Staff.  Since February weather is so unpredictable (especially this year!), we rented outdoor heaters from Rollin’ Ritas, and we certainly were glad we did when the wedding day high was 52 degrees!

Christina wanted an upscale-barbecue feel for the reception, so we chose brown pin-tuck linens with celedon green napkins.  Her centerpieces were adorable – Mason jars filled with succulents created by the bride, and fresh, loosely arranged flowers by Anything With Plants.

Christina and Brandon didn’t want the traditional DJ and dancing that we see at most receptions, so they opted to have their favorite trivia host provide entertainment.

The cake fit their lemon theme perfectly – Classic Cakes created a lemon cake with fresh raspberry filling that was to die for!

Photographer Kristen Barger captured all the wonderful images – we can’t wait to share more.  Congrats to Christina and Brandon…

We are so thrilled that Lauren and Jeff’s wedding was featured in the latest issue of Jacksonville Magazine Bride.  Click the image below to see the digital version of the magazine.

It’s been an amazing year here at First Coast Weddings and Events.  As we say farewell to 2009, here is a look back at a few of our amazing brides and grooms that were married this year.
