Weddings On The Beach

The ceremony was wonderful.  Everything was perfect.  Thank you so much for helping Fred make our recommittment ceremony PERFECT!!!!!!

Thanks,

Thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful.  The arch and flowers were just lovely and we loved how you carved the aisle in the sand and spread the rose petals.  Your choice in the officiant was wonderful.  Susan reminded us of Doug's grandmother.  She made the ceremony very special.  The photographer and videographer were great too!  And thank you so very, very, very much for working to rearrange to a different day with everyone involved.  Things were very stressful for us with Doug ending up in the hospital and you being able to still make our wedding happen meant everything to us.  Sending flowers to Doug in the hospital was very thoughtful and much appreciated.  I know you had no control over the weather but when it had been raining all day and then all of the sudden a few minutes into the ceremony the most beautiful sunset began just made the ceremony absolutely perfect!!!!  It was gorgeous.

  Thank you so much for helping us put together our beautiful ceremony. It was perfect and just what we wanted. I can't wait to see the pictures! You were all so helpful and we could not have done it without your help and expertise. I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting a beach wedding. Thank you for incorporating our girls in the ceremony, it was just as important to them as it was to John and I. Blessings to you all!

.... Thank you for everything you did around and under our wedding. It was perfect. Everyone there was happy, and have commented positively about everything. We all had a very good time. The only thing I could have wished for if any, would have been for the night to last longer. I sure didn`t want it to end. You scored big when you spoke Norwegian to me. I sure didn`t expect it, and I can only say I was impressed. I have some Chinese friends that are considering using your services now, since I told them I`m sure you will prepare their whole ceremony in Chinese. :-)
It was soo good to finally meet you after all the phone calls back and forth, and I appreciated that you and your sister stayed with us all evening. Wish we had some more time to talk though, but again the evening was too short.

All my credit to the luha show, and especially the guy that had the music. (Don`t remember his name) He kept everything going and organized the whole time, and he was good. I really liked his style.
I`m sure he would have been fun to party with, with his humor and way of being, but again, if we only had more time.

Again, thank you soo much Cathy !

We want to thank you both so much for making our wedding the most amazing day of our lives! The flowers were beautiful and the whole archway and aisle were gorgeous! The wedding overall was simply perfect and without your hard work we would have had a plain old wedding. Thank you so very much!

Just wanted to let you know we have received the photos and video.  The photographs are lovely there are some really good shots please thank Jerry for his hard work.

We were both very happy with everything else and I only realized how beautiful the beach was set up when I looked at the photos so thank you all for your hard work setting everything up.  Also the food and the reception location were excellent, as was the show.

I will be sure to recommend your services if I am asked about weddings abroad in the future.

There are not enough words to express how thankful we are to you for making our daughter's "Dream Wedding" come true. You're the best!
Your attention to every detail and all our e-mails and phone conversations helped ease all the stress of putting together a wedding in such a tight time frame .
The weather, the beach and the ceremony were beautiful. It couldn't have been more perfect and we couldn't have done it without you!!!
Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Tony and Betti Ferrini

I did not get a chance to tell you how much I appreciate all you did for us to make our day EXTRA special. You were like a mom to me on the day of the wedding helping with my dress (smile) and just like a mom you gave me words of encouragement and even was understanding when I got anxious and nervous. Thank you Cathy you are a very beautiful person and I wish you all the best. Stay sweet.

With All My Love,

I will be sure to tell everyone I know or will know that Sand petal weddings is the only way to go and once everyone sees how beautiful it was, you will have many more customers!  Thanks again, we loved it!

Cathy and Lisa,

I just wanted to thank you both for the amazing job you did on Beau and I's ceremony. It was so beautiful and couldn't of been more perfect.  I am sad that I didn't get to come thank you in person but I really just want you to know that I appreciate how beautiful everything looked and also for your patience with my order...I know I had to change the number of chairs a few times.  :)
I will definitely be recommending you both!!

Thanks again,
Ali Miller

Dear Cathy and Lisa,

Thanks so much for taking all of our ideas and dreams about our perfect wedding and making them come to life so beautifully! we had so much fun at our own wedding, and I know we wouldn’t have been able to be so relaxed if I hadn’t had the two of you and your team taking care of everything.
Dave and I would like to thank you for the excellent work you did in organizing vendors, offering timely suggestions, listening to our desires, and coordinating our wedding day.
The luau was an amazing experience and all guests enjoyed every second of it. I truly appreciate that fact that you were both there to see the reception through and even enjoyed some time celebrating with us.
While the vendors were certainly excellent, Dave and I sincerely appreciate your patience and organization. Even though we had small changes throughout our plans, as our vision became more “real,” you were calm and reassuring. Your ability to shift as we needed, continually offer suggestions, and keep us “on track” certainly made for a glitch-free day. Because of your attention, I felt that our wedding day held no stress or worries. Dave and I could actually enjoy the ceremony and reception, spend time with our friends and family, and dance without care since you were there to smooth out any  hiccups.
Again, thank you for your attention and hard work.
We will recommend you to any seeking a wedding planner’s services. I also suggest to all that a beach wedding is the way to go.

Sincerely,
Dave and Joelle D'Arco

Lisa,

Coasters was wonderful . . . Eric & his staff were all very kind and gracious.  The room was nice and the setting was lovely.  We couldn't have asked for a better location.  I would give them a great recommendation.
I also want to thank you for the wonderful ceremony - EVERYTHING was perfect.  The flowers were great, the music was nice and we had heard several great comments about the shell toss from our family. We would recommend your company to anyone planning a wedding in Siesta Key.

Cathy,

I just wanted to write to thank you for everthing that you guys did to make our wedding perfect. Living in Ohio and planning a beach wedding seemed pretty overwhelming, but having you there made the entire process enjoyable.  All the services that you provided were provided in a professional manner.  The photograpther, videographer, limo driver, and your staff were all excellent and each went out of there way to make the day special for all! I would 100% recommend Sand Petal Weddings to someone having a beach wedding.  Thanks for making our wedding day one that was stress free and to remember.  

Thanks
Ben and Amy Hagan


Catherine,

We have made it back to Ohio and things are somewhat back to normal.  Just wanted to thank you for taking care of us and our daughter's wedding.  You provided everything you promised and it was exactly what the bride and groom wanted!  You, the officiant, and the photographer were very professional and we felt at ease.  Thanks again for the job well done and if you had anything to do with the rain stopping 90 minutes before the wedding - we are grateful!!!!!!
Keep up the good work!

Dear Catherine and Lisa.

Ryan and I want to thank your for all of your help to make our wedding truely unforgettable. The ceremony decorations were absolutley beautiful. The tropical colors, especially the pinks and oranges looked amazing by the ocean. Back home, I could never find a setup as beautiful as yours. My guests loved the shell leis and really liked the blessing of the shells. However, nothing can top the fantastic luau performance. Wow, they are amazing! We had the best time watching the performers, but I think they had fun when they made everyone get up and dance! We laughed when the tribal dancer made Ryan come up and learn a few moves. People from the beach and the resturant were rushing over to our reception to see what was going on because everyone was laughing and having a blast. We had the best time! Thanks again for everything. We will definitly recommend  your services to anyone wanting a spectacular and memorable beach wedding.

Thanks again

Dear Cathy and Ashley,
      We just wanted to thank you and Ashley for giving me and my husband our dream wedding. I would have been a nervous wreck if I did not have the help from everyone at sand petal weddings . Cathy, everyone you suggested from the cake, to my hair and make up and to our pictures, was perfect. Sand petal weddings has a dream team to make any bride and grooms' day the wedding of their dreams. I also just wanted to let you know Linda from Victorian Bride was absolutely wonderful, if it was not for her I would have never made it to my wedding on time. Thank you again for everyone's hard work in making our sunset wedding come true.

Sincerely

Lisa,

Just wanted to thank you and your staff for making Amanda and Todd's wedding so great.
Everyone who attended were all so impressed with the whole event, how nice the beach was set up, music, they loved the shell toss!  I knew everything was great when my husband commented that it was a beautiful ceremony ( he just could not invision how this was all going to come together.)  He said we definitely picked all the right people to pull the wedding together. Lisa took great pictures and the wedding party enjoyed working with her.  We all loved Georgeanne, my sister said she wished she had a church up home because she would join it.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi Cathy,

We're back from our honeymoon and I wanted to check in with you.  I know I didn't get a chance to really talk to you on our wedding day (7/31), but I wanted to say thank you for all you did.  Everything turned out beautifully and our guests were very impressed.  I really appreciate all of your help throughout the last few months in order to make our wedding day what it was.   The pastor was very nice and the photographer was great too. He took a ton of pictures which was awesome!! 

Thanks again for everything

Former hostage marries waiting fiancee
Libby Hendren    

Bradenton Beach, FL -- After more than five years of being apart from his soulmate, Keith Stansell married his fiancee, Patricia.

Keith Stansell was held hostage by the Columbia rebel group FARC and returned to Bradenton in July 2008.

Tonight was all about celebration.

"She waited for him not even knowing if he was alive. She waited for him," says Cathy Mills, wedding coordinator with Sand Petal Weddings.

Patricia gave birth, and raised the couple's two boys, while Stansell was held hostage.

Dear Kathy,

We could not be happier with the service we received from Sand Petal Weddings. When we first arrived into the Sarasota area and checked our location for our ceremony we saw that our location was a little washed over with storm serge from a lingering tropical storm. This put me into a panic as it would any soon to be bride, but when I called Sand Petals to confirm the location and to discuss the fact that we were not quite keen on being married in scuba gear I could not be more relieved with the help to our problem that we received. We were calmly told that moving the location would be no problem at all. A sigh of relief rushed over me, we went to the second location and I immediately fell in love with the spot on Siesta Key beach.
    The day of the wedding I was met by Sand Petal Weddings and the wedding officiant as we arrived to the location. I also had some surprise guests and party members at the last minute and to accommodate the issue was no problem for Sand Petals. They did such a beautiful job of laying out our flowers, setting up our sand ceremony pieces and spreading the fresh rose petals the sight was truly a dream come true for any bride wanting the perfect beach wedding. The ceremony went so smoothly, my husband and myself were completely worry free which made the ceremony so much more enjoyable for the both of us thanks to Sand Petals for doing all of the work for us. I would recommend using Sand Petals services to anyone looking for an affordable or expensive beach wedding. We went with a simple package and the ceremony was simply stunning, music and everything they did for us. We had never visited the Sarasota area prior to our wedding and after having such a wonderful experience there we'll be returning without a doubt. If your looking for a stress free, dream come true wedding ceremony on the beaches of Florida. Then look no farther because Sand Petal Weddings is the only way to go! Thank you Sand Petals for making the most memorable moments of our lives so WONDERFUL!!!!!

Cathy and Lisa,

First of all, I want to apologize for taking so long to write this.  We were married on Nokomis Beach on June 5, 2009.  We had a wonderful wedding!!!  The decorations were beautiful.  We could not have asked for a more special wedding day than what you had planned for us!!  I'm not sure who done our video, but, all I can say is WOW!!!  I just expected a video of the wedding, but what we got was so much more!!  The music that he put to our wedding was amazing and the way he captured our wedding and the candids were absolutely fantastic!!  Also, you recommended Lisa for our Photography.  What a great choice!!  Her pictures were stunning!!  She came over and took family pictures on the beach the night before and they turned out GREAT!  And the wedding pictures were FABULOUS!!   Again, thank you so much for a wonderful day-  more than i could ever have expected!!!!
