Michelle and her team from Precious Moment Events were amazing to work with. She was able to able to give us the Disney themed wedding we have always wanted at the Powel Crosley Mansion. The vendors we choose came highly recommended from her and made our wedding day truly magical. Michelle is very detailed oriented and anytime I had concerns she was able to quickly resolve it. On our wedding day Michelle and her team were right by our side throughout the night and made sure we ate and had a drink in our hands. Many of our guests came to us at the end of the night to let us know how lovely and fun the wedding was. I highly recommend Precious Moment Events if you are looking for a wedding planner.

I cannot begin to express how thankful we are for Michelle and her team! Let me tell you, choosing a wedding planner is overwhelming since there seems to be so many choices, all offering similar packages, and many were just starting up their companies. I found Michelle and her husband at a bridal expo and decided to use them for our wedding in December 2023 at Opal Sands Resort for month-of/day of coordination. Michelle provided SO MUCH more than just month-of services. For the last year, Michelle was ALWAYS available for us with any questions we had, recommendations we needed, or simply someone to talk to about visions and details. She required us to schedule monthly 15 minute phone calls to ensure we were not stressed and could help guide us in anyway possible. On the weekend of the wedding, not only did Michelle coordinate every detail she also avoided me knowing of any hiccups of the day or issues as she truly wanted me to enjoy the weekend and be present with my family and friends. She offers set up and take down services which is the best thing ever! I had so many guests asking us at the end of the night how they could help with the clean up and Michelle’s response to me was “i want you to enjoy the rest of your night-we got this” and that she did. Everything was packaged and stored away for us as she said. I got multiple compliments about Michelle on the wedding day as well as the days after from other vendors, guests, and my family. Thank you SO much Michelle and her team. You will always be a huge part of our wedding day and the reason why it truly was the best day of our lives. Love you guys!

Michelle and her team were incredible for our wedding at The Grove at Lakewood Ranch, especially since we planned it from across the country. She provided the professionalism and warmth we needed to make everything run smoothly, always going above and beyond despite her busy schedule.

Initially, I was unsure of my wedding vision, but Michelle was exceptional in helping me clarify and bring it to life. Her creative guidance transformed our ideas into a beautiful reality. Her team, including her assistant Colleen who captured so much wonderful content, was a huge asset, making our day even more memorable.

The relationships Michelle has with other vendors proved to be extremely beneficial. She connected us with fantastic professionals who played a significant role in the success of our wedding. Planning from a distance seemed challenging, but with Michelle’s expertise and the excellent team of vendors she introduced us to, everything came together seamlessly.

We are so grateful to Michelle for her dedication and the meticulous attention to detail she brought to our wedding day. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and skilled planner who can help navigate the complexities of bringing a wedding vision to reality, Michelle is an excellent choice. <3

We were so happy that we hired Michelle and her team. She ensured our day ran smoothly from start to finish. She was incredibly professional and attentive to us and made sure that we had absolutely everything we needed. This was a destination wedding for us, and without Michelle’s expertise and knowledge of our venue(powel crosley estate) we could not have had the experience that we did. If you are looking for someone that will make your dream day come true, look no further. Thank you again Michelle, a day we will never forget.

I’m fairly certain I will never be able to find the words to describe how grateful I am for having Michelle and the Precious Moments team as our month of coordinators. After getting engaged, I connected with a few different planners and Michelle was the standout – by far. We fell in love with her energy, sincerity, timeliness, organization, and so much more. We shared our vision and she immediately understood what we were looking for – and helped us achieve our dream wedding. Michelle quickly became our voice of reason / someone to lean on while planning – and she was always a phone call, text, meeting, or email away. That said, from start to finish, our wedding day WAS the best day of our lives and BEYOND perfect in every single way.

The attention to detail and thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed. Recently on a phone call with my new mother-in-law, she mentioned how special it was that Michelle gathered our parents for our wedding exit so that they had the best view of us leaving to start our new life together.

We still have family and friends talking about it weeks later.. I can wholeheartedly say that none of it would have been possible without the Precious Moments team – and we truly cannot thank them enough for creating the best experience we could have ever imagined. Cannot recommend them enough to anyone and everyone!

Michelle of Precious Moments Events is an absolute gem of a wedding planner! Being an out-of-state bride, I had my concerns of achieving my dream wedding in FL and in my budget, but Michelle made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Her round-the-clock availability, quick responses, and her warm, friendly demeanor made her not just a planner but a friend throughout the journey.

Michelle’s expertise and personal touch turned our wedding dreams into a stunning reality. I had a super specific vision and Michelle worked with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy. I highly recommend her services to any bride. She’s the key to a stress-free, picture-perfect wedding day! Thank you for everything, Michelle 🙂

We feel so blessed having the opportunity to work with Precious Moments events. Truly our saving grace for our wedding day. Michelle and her team took SO MUCH of our stress off our shoulders and let us enjoy the day. From helping with vendors to creating the timeline for the day, they were five steps ahead of us. They were accomodating to our requests, but also proposed new ideas we never thought of. Our advice to any couple getting married – use Precious Moments Events!! There are such high expectations that a wedding day must be memorable and flawless, they will help you achieve just this. You will be forever grateful for them, just like we are. We cannot recommend them enough.

I had the privilege of working with Michelle for month of coordinator. My expectations were over-exceeded, Michelle did a phenomenal job on the experience itself. I’m not local to the Tampa area (currently in Atlanta) so I planned everything from afar. From our first initial phone conversation, where she helped recommend several vendors even before I had booked her (that sold me alone), all the way to my wedding day, where even day of we had a mishap with the venue and chair situation, Michelle was professional, always cool, calm and collected, and a huge problem solver. I highly recommend working with Michelle, even though she was a busy bee for several weddings at a time, she never made me feel like just another number or just another bride. Book Precious Moments Events before they’re all booked up!!

I am not sure how we would have gotten through wedding planning if it wasn’t without the help of Michelle and her team. Michelle was very detailed, met with us to go over our vision, took phone calls whenever we needed to talk and answered all our random texts. Towards the end of the planning, we had a hiccup in losing out on a DJ. Michelle came to the rescue. We had a new DJ booked in a matter of 24 hours. On wedding day, Michelle and Colleen were fairy godmothers making sure we were following schedule, set up was just as envisioned, guiding guests, and getting behind the scenes pictures and videos. They made our most special day go just as we dreamed. We highly recommend Precious Moments Events to cater to your wedding planning needs.

Michelle was an absolute godsend. Every detail, every stress, she was always just a phone call or text message away. Throughout the entire process she was great and on top of everything. I couldn’t have imagined doing the actual day of the wedding without her. She handled every issue, every problem, every celebratory moment with grace.

I met Michelle at a bridal expo show and we hit it off right from the beginning. I had a consult call with her a few weeks later and she instantly made me feel calm and that everything was going to be taken care of. We used her all-inclusive package and she handled everything! Scheduling all the vendors, and working with the venue, decor, and flowers. She truly is a one-stop shop! On the day of the wedding, her team was amazing!!! They set up, broke down, did a room flip, directed all my guests to the correct locations, and, most importantly, made sure I and my husband had a drink in our hands the whole time. I didn’t have to worry about anything and only focused on enjoying my wedding. They were amazing and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

I highly recommend Michelle and her team at Precious Moments, they were so amazing in helping us plan and coordinate our recent wedding! If you’re considering hiring a planner, this is your sign to do it. We had zero exposure to the wedding industry and were very overwhelmed with the process until meeting Michelle. She answered our million questions promptly during the planning process, gave tons of suggestions when needed, and was very flexible with our complicated work schedules. They also have so many connections with local vendors we actually saved a good chunk of money. Most importantly, she ensured our wedding day was exactly what WE wanted as a couple. I had some very specific wishes, she never questioned any of our decisions, she just made it happen. She also always verified all changes with me as we had some fairly complicated family dynamics at play.

On the wedding day of she was 100% there for anything we (mostly me-bride) needed, it was a hot Florida day and she brought us sodas before pictures. She fixed my dress 100+ times and my makeup after I cried and kept touching my face. She set aside a few cookies for me because the day flew by and she knew I wanted them. She took out 20+ bobby pins at the end of the night (& fixed my hair after) because I had a headache and wanted to dance with my hair down! Michelle was a total lifesaver in planning and coordinating our wedding, and her team she ensured our day was absolutely perfect!

I was most impressed with how Michelle adapted her approach to planning to work with me. She went above and beyond by helping me find vendors and make decisions months before the wedding, even though I had only signed up for the “month-before” package. She took the initiative to reach out to me to make sure things were going well if she hadn’t heard from me in a while. I sent her very detailed instructions for the day-of setup, and she executed them perfectly! I’m so glad I went with Precious Moments Events because my family and friends were able to fully enjoy the day since they didn’t have to do any setup, and I didn’t have to worry about anything.

I don’t even know where to start. I am from Chicago, and always dreamed of getting married in beautiful Siesta Key, Florida. I can thank both Michelle and her wonderful husband Nelson for allowing my dream to come true.
My husband and I traveled to Siesta Key to view venues, and once we fell in love with one, we did not even know where to start. After viewing our dream venue, we went to breakfast and started searching for planners. Within minutes of sending Michelle an inquiry, she called and offered to meet us right then for breakfast. Instantly she showed how committed and passionate she is about her role as a planner. It can be very overwhelming being so far away, but Michelle reassured us she could and would handle everything. Michelle was responsive and supportive with every step of the way. She took the time to get to know us, which allowed her to customize every vendor around us. After a year of many calls, lots of planning, and a few short visits, we truly consider Michelle and Nelson now family. We love you guys and cannot thank you enough for everything. -Cristina & Nick

“We are so grateful we got a day of coordinator. Michelle made sure to have a conversation anytime I felt unsure or needed better understanding. Getting married has a lot of educational moments no one ever teaches you about. It was helpful to have someone with experience to guide you along the way knowing they meant well.
Michelle listened to all of my requests and made them come alive. The main reason I wanted a day of coordinator was to unpack and pack all of my decorations since I was doing a destination wedding. She most definitely delivered above and beyond in that department. We are so grateful for her. She also helped us in connecting with a wood florist who made our wedding so special. We were able to save so much money by not getting real flowers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.!”

Words can’t describe how grateful we are for Michelle and her husband, Nelson. We decided on a destination wedding and while we knew it would be a challenge, Michelle made it feel like it wasn’t a destination at all. Michelle from start to finish was absolutely phenomenal and helped us every step of the way.

Wedding Day was what really impressed us. We of course had no idea what to expect or what we were doing at all. She kept everyone calm (especially me), had everything set up just the way we wanted it, was incredibly organized and kept was ON POINT with our tight schedule!

I was a little concerned about my daughter walking down the aisle as a flower girl (typical independent and sassy 2 year old who is very clingy to me)- Nelson was SO AMAZING with her and helped teach her how to throw her flowers down the aisle and she didn’t look back at me once! I can’t be more thankful for that alone!

We had the absolute best experience and so much of that was because of Michelle and Nelson. If you’re looking for a planner that can do it all- look no further! They’re amazing! Thank y’all so much!

If you’re a future bride and still contemplating whether you should get a wedding coordinator or not, let me tell you – you should! Michelle has a good network of vendor that she’s worked with in the past that she can recommend based on your need. I personally appreciated her recommendation for a caterer which was Blue Water Catering. She also worked closely with Celebrations24 (another great vendor for wedding entertainment needs). They were all able to accommodate my needs for sure. It helps a lot that she knows the vendors she’s working with, that way, things will flow smoothly for everyone. I wish I met her sooner, so she could have guided me about the photographer or recommended me one (Hired a photographer too early who turned out to be very unprofessional and it was the worst decision I made up to date)!

We also had a very unusual situation where we couldn’t lock down our wedding date early on. And Michelle has been very accommodating about that. She assured us that it was okay to reschedule given our situation and that was very comforting for me and my then fiancé.

On the day of my wedding, she assigned Maria to us as she has another wedding booked before I was able to finalize my date. Had a bit of an issue with direction in the beginning of the setup in the venue, but Maria has been very approachable and nice during the event. She did a good job making sure the event still went according to timeline even though the event got pushed a couple of hours behind (our fault!). Also, big thank you to her because I left my veil at the dressing area and she had to drive 15mins to the church to give it to me. She saved the day for sure!

Michelle and I are still in contact to this day, because she doesn’t abandon her brides until we get everything we need from all vendors we dealt with.

Thank you Michelle and Maria for helping us with our wedding!

I was really hesitant when going into hire somebody to do my wedding for me… I really thought it would be easier and cheaper to do everything myself, boy was I wrong! Trying to find all the proper vendors and get everything organized for that day is the hardest thing one should ever have to do alone. And I found that it was not cheaper to go my own route. Your wedding planner has connections to people that she knows are amazing, People that she’s worked with for years. We only get one big wedding if we’re lucky, make it worth it! Michelle was really good at making my vision a reality, She’s very patient, she’s always available, And she gets equally excited for your big day. Whenever I needed her she was there, never too busy for me, Always ready with an open ear to listen. I would find things I liked and I would send them to her and she would say “we can do that”! She’s super laid-back and down to earth… No matter how crazy her family can be at a wedding she seen it all and nothing surprises her lol. She even served as my counselor a few times! I would never change anything about my wedding for she made it a beautiful reality for us. I would highly recommend hiring a wedding planner, but Not only a wedding planner a ,friend! Her entire team did a beautiful job setting up and taking down our reception I didn’t have to lift a finger! It was the most magical day of my life! Thank you Michelle and team!

Seriously from the moment I talked with her she just took my very sad timeline and all the things I had filed away in my head and made it work.

Michelle was amazing!!! We were planning a wedding at Sunset Beach Resort on Siesta Key but nervous about the details since we live out of state. Michelle coordinated and hired all our vendors for us – catering, photographer, florist, decorations, music, officiant, cake – while always making sure that we were adding the details which were important to us as a couple. Our wedding was beyond any of our expectations. Michelle is the ultimate professional wedding planner!! Not only had she taken care of all the details before the wedding day, she also coordinated the entire actual wedding day allowing us spend that day enjoying all our family and friends that had come from out of town. I highly recommend Michelle (and her husband Nelson) – they will make sure your special day is everything you ever wanted!! Special shout out for Michelle’s the beautiful choice of flowers from Beneva Weddings and wedding cake from Cakes by Ron.

I can’t say enough about Precious Moments Events. This husband & Wife duo did not disappoint. As the happy & excited mother of the bride I made an attempt to coordinate my daughter’s wedding alone. I realized just two weeks before the big day that I had gotten as far as I could. Again, with two weeks till the big day, I found Michelle. Our initial conversation gave me a huge sense of relief and within 24hrs I knew I had found quality help. Michelle immediately pointed out a few holes in our timeline that needed adjustment. She got us connected with an outdoor lighting vendor at a reasonable price & her motto was “trust me.” I worried because I felt I hadn’t given her enough time to step in and work her magic. However, Michelle is clearly a woman who can operate calmly under pressure. No matter how anxious I got, Michelle remind calm. She was exactly what I needed.
Her husband is the yin to her yang. He is humble & professional, with an amazing eye for detail. Our guest adored him. He reads a room well and knows where to jump in without being prompted.
They worked well with the other vendors and made the event gel as if they were all part of the same team.
I strongly recommend them.
Thank you Precious Moments Events!

AMAZING!!!! I don’t even know where to begin! When we decided to plan our wedding I knew immediately after speaking with Michelle, the owner of Precious Moments, all my wedding dreams were going to come true. I wasn’t the traditional bride that gives themselves a year or two to plan I literally decided on a date that was only 6 months away and Michelle said it would be no problem and she could do “everything” and stick to the strict timeline. She put together so many options and worked within our budget and I never felt any pressure or stress. She honestly helped me with every little detail. She has so many relationships with so many different vendors I never had to search for anyone! She took care of florist, cake tasking, catering tasting, photographer, hair, makeup, hotel accomodations, bridal shop (where I found my perfect gown), DJ, Photo Booth, Bartender, Antique Car Rental, Centerpieces, Sunset Cruise…absolutely everything!!! Aside from her excellent organizational skills and attention to detail she genuinely cared and wanted to make sure I could truly have my “Fairy Tale” Wedding! I have to thank her and her Team for all they did for my husband and I. They treated us so special and made sure we were taking care of during the entire celebration! If you are looking for someone to handle the most important day of your life I highly recommend Michelle and the Precious moments team! With Gratitude, Mr. and Mrs. Angello

Michelle is the kind of person you need throughout your wedding day-she will help you get things done, be at your side, and respond to your requests. Having a coordinator is DEFINITELY worth every penny! Look no further than Michelle. When things at my reception did not go as planned, Michelle was on my side making sure things were how I wanted. My wedding day was a breeze because she and Nelson were there from start to finish. They rock!

Planning a surprise 80th birthday luncheon/party, for my mother-in-law, from out of town was an intimidating proposition however Michelle was there every step of the way. Her expert knowledge of the area and vendors as well calm demeanor helped me feel confident that I picked the right event planner and that this party was going to be a success…and it was!

Michelle and her team were professional and extremely attentive to the needs of my mother-in-law and all of our guests. I am extremely thankful for Michelle and her team.

Michelle and her husband were absolutely wonderful. There wasn’t a moment that they weren’t running around making sure that I didn’t have to lift a finger on our special day ! Michelle knew that making decisions wasn’t something that comes easy for me so I left her in charge of all of decision making and she did not disappoint!!! They helped set up all of my decor which turned out absolutely AMAZING. Her and her husband have hearts of gold and did everything within their power to ensure my husband and I had the most perfect day. She even made a last minute request to have 5 minutes alone w my husband happen despite the schedule adjustments. I would 110% work with this team again for ANY event.

Thank you so much for everything !!!!!!!!

We used Michelle with Precious Moments Events for our March 27, 2021 wedding… We had to postpone from Sept 2020 to March 2021 due to covid and Michelle was there every step of the way to keep me sane. She assisted in re-contracting all our vendors, and even with finding a new venue with only 3 months til the wedding. Michelle kept it real during the entire process and kindly let me know when things were or were not going to happen so there were no surprises. She also anticipated our needs without me even having to say it. During one of our planning meetings just 3 months before the wedding she recognized I was unhappy with our current venue and jumped in to help us secure our top choice venue. (It was not available for our first date, but when we had to postpone due to covid, she found out their availability and helped us move our contract!) She has great connections & relationships with vendors around Sarasota and was amazing to work with. At the rehearsal the night before the wedding my father suggested he walk me down the aisle from a different entry than they typically do at this venue and Michelle and Nelson swooped in to make it happen! I am thankful to have found Michelle and you will be too!!

I want to start this by thanking Michelle and her husband for their unconditional support in planning & executing my mother’s wedding on November 14, 2020. 

My mother wanted something small, intimate and familiar and Michelle made sure that she got the wedding of her dreams.



From the moment we first spoke on the phone, I knew she was the right person. Michelle was very accommodating to our budget, her husband (who speaks Spanish) was able to communicate with my mother and the rest of my Spanish-speaking family.



Even for very last minute details, Michelle was able to accommodate us. 



Michelle organized an officiant in Spanish and this was the highlight of the wedding. The officiant had the most beautiful energy and surrounded the space with her grace and love. My parent’s wedding is, by far, the most special wedding I have attended. 



We will forever be grateful to Precious Moments for their love. The day of the wedding, my aunt needed assistance to walk on the beach, Michelle and her husband quite literally carried her and showed her kindness and respect. 



Michelle does this out of passion and it really shows. When they are around, it feels like it is another family member.

If you are looking for someone to support you in your wedding planning, you have found the right person.

“Michelle was the only person who could have made my wedding go as seamless as it did. She was responsive, precise, and calm! It was so wonderful to have her by my side on my wedding day. Her husband was also a fantastic asset during set up. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone getting married in the future.!

“If you’re a future bride and still contemplating whether you should get a wedding coordinator or not, let me tell you – you should! Michelle has a good network of vendor that she’s worked with in the past that she can recommend based on your need. I personally appreciated her recommendation for a caterer which was Blue Water Catering. She also worked closely with Celebrations24 (another great vendor for wedding entertainment needs). They were all able to accommodate my needs for sure. It helps a lot that she knows the vendors she’s working with, that way, things will flow smoothly for everyone. I wish I met her sooner, so she could have guided me about the photographer or recommended me one (Hired a photographer too early who turned out to be very unprofessional and it was the worst decision I made up to date)! We also had a very unusual situation where we couldn’t lock down our wedding date early on. And Michelle has been very accommodating about that. She assured us that it was okay to reschedule given our situation and that was very comforting for me and my then fiancé. On the day of my wedding, she assigned Maria to us as she has another wedding booked before I was able to finalize my date. Had a bit of an issue with direction in the beginning of the setup in the venue, but Maria has been very approachable and nice during the event. She did a good job making sure the event still went according to timeline even though the event got pushed a couple of hours behind (our fault!). Also, big thank you to her because I left my veil at the dressing area and she had to drive 15mins to the church to give it to me. She saved the day for sure! Michelle and I are still in contact to this day, because she doesn’t abandon her brides until we get everything we need from all vendors we dealt with. Thank you Michelle and Maria for helping us with our wedding!!”

Michelle was helpful in the months leading up to my wedding with planning, any questions I had, creating the timeline, etc. but truly I didn’t even realize how much I needed Michelle until the day of my wedding when she was there to put out all the fires that started sparking and I didn’t have to deal with any of the behind the scenes. As a bride, your stress levels are high enough that day, best hire a coordinator that will go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your day!

P.S. the photo attached is Michelle stepping in to help the photographer create this moment with my veil ‘blowing in the wind’. She wore many hats that day!

“Michelle was super helpful with helping me plan and organize my wedding. I last minute, due to COVID, changed my wedding plans 12 weeks before our date. I live out of state and she was able to help me with everything from flowers, music, beach permit and all of the other things needed for a beach wedding that I would not have thought of. Her and her husband did an amazing job picking the perfect location on Sand Key Beach and setting up in the heat! The entire experience was so helpful and my now husband and I could not have had the most perfect day ever without their amazing help”!!!

Michelle at Precious Moments Events did an amazing job coordinating our wedding! She was extremely responsive and listened to my every request. She was very flexible with meeting up to discuss logistics etc. I gave her pictures of what I wanted and my wedding looked exactly like what i asked for!! You will not be disappointed if you hire her to coordinate or plan your wedding!!! I would give her a 10/5!!!”
