Weddings By Tina

Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying...

OMG is all I can say. Tina was an excellent wedding planner. I hired her once I found out that the previous wedding planner was overcharging me for vendors. Tina took control, and helped me plan the remainder of my wedding. She was very professional, well organized and there for me and my husband for anything that we needed. I just want to share my testimony of how excellent Tina was as a wedding planner. I was in vegas on vaction, I seen a flower arrangement that I thought would fit me and my husband wedding perfectly. I sent her a text message with the picture of the flower. She told me that she could make it happen. SHE MADE IT HAPPEN. The decorations was the best. I had so many compliments from family members and friends on how Tina was a prestigous wedding planner. I am going to recommend her to everyone that is planning a wedding. GREAT JOB TINA.

Tina,

I can not thank you enough for the amazing job you did. From the rehearsal to the ceremony to the reception, everything was PERFECT!!!!  All night everyone commented on how beautiful everything was. Lisa was especially happy with everything from the bouquets to the centerpieces to the tables.  Planning a wedding long distance isn't easy but you made it very easy, for that I will be forever grateful.
 

Thank you again for making my daughter's wedding an affair to remember. Thanks for the pictures!

Weddings by Tina and Tina Payne were amazing. She was my wedding coordinator/magic maker. It didn't go perfectly (because weather and other things that no one has control of including life happen), but it was nothing short of a dream come true. From the bottom of my husband and my hearts... Many thanks to Tina!

Tina and her crew created my Winter Wonderland Themed Wedding down to the T. When I walked into the receptional hall my breath was taken away! Several of my guests expressed that they had never seen a wedding decorated as well as mine was. Tina comes highly reccommended! If you have an idea they will create it and make it a reality.

Hi Tina,

`

I wanted to touch base with you.  Life is back to normal now, no more planning, it’s hard to believe.  I really wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the incredible job you did for us.  Everything was exactly as I imagined and in some cases it was better.  I will send you some of the professional pictures of the bouquets and the cake so that you can put those in your album.  If I know of anyone in the future looking for services I will most definitely recommend you.

Wedding - August 2010

The Garden Club

We hired Tina Payne to assist with the set-up and break-down of our ceremony decorations and the set-up of our reception decorations. From the very first email, I knew we would be in good hands. She is a true pleasure to work with and her extensive experience as a wedding coordinator made the planning process smooth and easier to manage. She was diligent on her follow-up and quick to respond back to emails and/or voicemails. I knew I could count on her no matter what. She is also a great listener and easy to work with. We appreciated her feedback and recommendations and her willingness to customize her services to meet our needs. She worked closely with me to fully understand our needs and was eager to meet with us to learn more about our decorations and overall event scheme and set-up. We had an early morning wedding ceremony and she had no problem with being there at 6 AM for set-up and she was prompt and right on time. She did an awesome job setting up our decorations exactly to our specifications and assembling the chair covers & stand-alone backdrop/wall draping; and did so with professionalism, courtesy, and with ultimate care to detail. She is passionate about her work; and you can see this through the connection she makes with her clients and the end result of her work. We highly recommend Tina and her services and we wish her the very best today and always.

Tina,
 
We would like to thank you for the amazing work you did to make our wedding so special.  It was truly beautiful and everything we ever imagined it to be.  You were a constant source of support leading up to the wedding, and we were completely confident in you.  Thanks for stepping up and helping when there were a few "snags" (ie.missing bartender and corkscrew)  We dont know what we would have done without you! We will be reccomending your services to EVERYONE we know!
 
DJ Jake was GREAT! He really understood what we were trying to accomplish by playing music for every age group.  He even got out there and danced!!! The music was a key component to the feel of our wedding, and it couldn't have been better!!! 
  
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Wedding Reception - May 2010
Italian American Club

Tina was our wedding angel. She not only helped us plan an extraordinary wedding reception, took the stress and weight off our shoulders during the whole wedding process. The reception hall looked flawless, the food was delicious, and decorations were amazing. There was a lot of thought and time put into our reception. Her staff did an excellent job to ensure that everyone was having a good time. The DJ, Big Jake, was extremely awesome. He took the time to acquire our music requests and match our wedding color. He also ensured everyone was having a great time. Tina also recommended the bartenders, Catered Cocktails, who also went above and beyond our expectations. The wedding co-ordinater provided by the church, Rose, was equally impressed with Tina’s services. We were more than pleased with all the services provided to us by Tina and her staff. We definitely recommend Weddings by Tina for anyone getting married.

Weddings by Tina made our wedding day an absolute fairytale.  Everything I spoke to Tina about and what I wanted everything to look like was exactly what it looked like.  The decorations were amazing, Tina and her assistants are great.  Tina is a very caring person and I am happy to have been able to work with her. I highly recommend her. The ladies in my family all want to have a beach wedding now…even the ones already married.  =  )  Thank you Tina, for an unforgettable day!!!

Wedding - May 2010

Holiday Day Inn, St Augustine Beach

I was extremely pleased with my bouquet and bridemaid bouquets. The flowers were fresh and more beautiful than I would have dreamed of...plus the price was more affordable than going to a florist. I 100% recommend Tina's services. The Centerpieces were impressive. I did the ostrich feathers and my guests were so stunned. Thanks Tina, for making my wedding dreams come true while helping me stick to my budget. My husband was thrilled about that!

Tina,

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special.  You took my idea of combining Mardi Gras and New Years Eve and created a very festive but elegant affair.  Everything we asked for you made happen.  The room was beautiful and the food was delicious.  You certainly eliminated a lot of the stress that goes along with a wedding, making the night very enjoyable.  It was like having a friend that wouldn't get upset when we made changes  and you went along with our whims.  Every guest said they had a wonderful time and raved about the decorations and food.  Once again thank you.

Wedding Reception - January 2010

Marriott Hotel

Gratitudes in abundance
My major saving grace in keeping things right was a Jacksonville businesswoman who is an ace multitasker. Our wedding planner/director Tina Payne handled much of the planning and all of the heavy lifting. She decorated the chapel and the reception with a summer garden theme and lighted palms. She dressed out the reception room by draping the ceilings in sheer fabric with tiny lights and roses and hibiscus on food and guest tables. She dealt with the caterer and the selections were outstanding. Laura’s family who traveled from Puerto Rico made some native dishes as well—those were a major hit.

Tina handled small details and big ones—from arranging for photography by Ginger Dupree to flowers and favors for guests. She dealt with the caterer and did numerous other things. She always gave me a specific price for add-ons and her paperwork was organized. She is an excellent communicator. When Jen’s sister takes the big step, I’ll ask Tina to help me out again. If I sound effusive, it’s because Tina earned kudos.

Daughter's Wedding - August 2009

Riverside House

I used Weddings by Tina for my July 4th wedding in 2009.  I decided to purchase the Gold Package for 14 hours of her time and she was nice enough to let me break up those 14 hours how I needed them.  I did a lot of the leg work myself for vendors (i.e. florist, cake, DJ, etc...), but when it came time for the big show, Tina did not disappoint.  She picked up where I left off and executed the day flawlessly.  Tina made it possible for me to have a stressfree wonderful wedding day and I cannot thank her enough for that.  If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, use Tina!!!  She is great!

Hi Tina:

Our daughter's wedding and reception were absolutely beautiful.  Both flowed so smoothly and that was due to your meticulous attention to detail and obvious expertise at what you do.

Your resourcefulness and accessibility to answer the endless questions I had in planning our daughter's wedding, proved to be a life-saver.

The decorations were absolutely stunning and the flowers and bouquets were gorgeous. 

I would highly recommend your services to anyone I know that is going to plan a wedding.   Thank you so much for all that you did.

Mandarin Community Club

Hi Tina!

I think everything went well. It was just the type of 'atmosphere' that we wanted. Small and romantic. You and your assistants were super responsive whenever something needed to be done, and I didn't have to stress at all :)

I got a lot of positive feedback from guests who loved the food. One said they had attended a foot ball player's wedding a couple of weeks prior, and their food was nowhere near as good as this one! :)

I really love your floral arrangements as well. My bouquet was beautiful; the colors and the feathers were perfect! Just how I wanted!
And the centerpieces were one of a kind. I had no idea how they would turn out, but they were just as beautiful.

All in all it was very pleasant. You have a real talent :)

Thank you so much!
