Lindsay & Mike {Key West Wedding}

Julie — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:38:45 +0000

Meet Lindsay and Mike! Lindsay and Mike had an amazing wedding aboard the Fury. It docked right in front of the Westin Resort and Marina {which I loved}. The couple was able to have a first look right in front of the Westin and then they were able to get whisked away by the Fury. Kristin from Swankey Events joined us for the sail to take care of anything and everything if needed…while Megan from Swankey Events stayed behind to finish getting everything ready for the reception. After we departed from the dock and everyone settled in we had the ceremony. The Gulf of Mexico gave us a nice breeze and a perfect backdrop! The Fury staff did an amazing job! Westy, the Fury Captain and his crew made the sailing experience for all the guests a fabulous one! THANKS FURY! After the ceremony we hung out on the ocean for just a little bit and then we came back to the Westin Resort and Marina for a reception. Peter from Milan Event, Team Swankey and Erin from the Westin greeted us to a fabulous set-up on the pier and just in time for their sunset which is simply A-MAZ-ING from the Westin Resort and Marina. After some toasts and a delicious dinner everyone hit the dance floor and partied the night away. Thanks Jimmy V for the musical beats!

Beth & Nathan {Key West Wedding}

Julie — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:26:40 +0000

Meet Beth & Nathan…they were married at the beautiful Waldorf Astoria Casa Marina. They had a very sweet ceremony that included a butterfly release. They entered their reception to a choreographed first dance to “The Best is Yet to Come”. Their cake was a motor home because Beth and Nathan were going to be traveling across the country in a motor home for their honeymoon….so, cute!…and it looked so yummy! This group must have loved sweets because the Casa Marina also provided them a “make your own” ice cream station. Tunes were provided by the “Kettle of Fish Band”. And everyone danced the night away! Beth and Nathan drove off into the Key West night on a cute, conch car! Best Wishes you TWO!

Meet Shannon & Jennifer! They had a very sweet wedding surrounded by a small intimate group of family and friends. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Sunset Key on their amazing beach. The FABULOUS Swankey girls and Erin from the Westin Resort and Spa did a phenomenal job! The ceremony was filled with joyful tears-their vows were so moving, compassionate and meaningful…I don’t think their as a dry eye on the beach. Then we headed back to Grand Key Resort for some toasts and some cake. I left them dancing the night away. I am gonna miss this group!!!!! Please, please come back and visit us!!!!!!!! Best Wishes You Two!!!!!

Meet Kari & Ryan. Such a sweet couple! Well, since rain is good luck on your wedding day-Kari & Ryan are lucky in love for forever! The day of their wedding it stormed. And I mean STORMED! Luckily, she had planned for a small intimate group and the Swankey Girls were able to move her ceremony into one of the hotel rooms at the Ocean Key and then their reception was moved to the Hot Tin Roof. Rain and all it was a sweet wedding with a lovely group! Best Wishes you two!!!!

Mei-Ling & Travis {Key West, Florida}

Mei-Ling and Travis were married at the beautiful Waldorf Astoria Casa Marina in sunny Key West, Florida. We walked into Mei-Ling’s room and we were so completely shocked on how clean it was. She was sitting in bliss just writing her vows. We normally walk into dress bags, food, make-up galore, etc. This was a Studio Julie first for sure! The ceremony was held on the Casa Marina beach and was lead by a bag piper…so fun! Everyone just loved it! After some touching I Do’s the party started! After some dinner and a slideshow the dancing began. Mei-Ling and Travis whisked themselves away in a vintage conch cruiser-LOVE! One thing I just LOVE about Mei-Ling and Travis is that they just kissed on each other all the time…I found it so sweet! Happy, Happy forever you two!!!!

{Jessica & Jonathan} a wedding in Key West, Florida

Julie — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:11:04 +0000

Meet Jessica & Jonathan! They were married down here in sunny Key West, Florida! The day was FABULOUS! The perfect clouds, the perfect sunset and most importantly a perfect breeze was in the air. Jessica got ready at a beautiful private residence and was then swept away for her ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. After a very touching service and kiss to seal the deal we were all off trolley style to the Hyatt Resort! Jessica & Jonathan had a unique reception where it was on the beach and the dock. We arrived at the Hyatt and everyone was greeting with drinks for the occasion and we went right into some dancing and toasts! Then we had an A-MAZING sunset! Boy, was it ever!!!! I left them heading back to the sounds that DJ Jimmy Jamz was spinning and I heard that the night was filled with lots of fun! BEST WISHES YOU TWO!!!!!

Danielle & Ben-A Key West Wedding

Julie — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:25:47 +0000

Meet Danielle & Ben! This is one crazy, fun group! Let’s start talking about the DRESS!!!!!! It is by one of my FAVORITE, FAVORITE, FAVORITE designers Amy Michelson!!!!!! And Danielle looked AMAZING in it! Danielle also loved peacock feathers…they flowed throughout the entire wedding. I met up with the whole gang at the Old Town Manor and we headed to Smather’s Beach for a ceremony in the sand. After some rings exchanged hand and some beautiful “I dos” the gang and myself headed to the Historic Seaport for a sunset sail/reception aboard the Sebago Marquesa. After sunset everyone was greeted by rickshaws aka pedicabs that transported all the guests to an extended reception/after party at the Old Town Manor…this is where it got wild! Hahahaha! I must preface the remaining post by informing ya’ll that it was an EXTREMELY hot day! I mean record hot! Everyone just wanted to cool off so-they lost as much clothing as possible and then of course that was accompanied by alcohol.

I do love Danielle’s dance with her dad! I mean it was a 1st for me…Dad in grass skirt and coconut top…LOVE!!!!!

BEST WISHES YOU TWO!!!!!
