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!

Michelle and her team were absolute DREAM MAKERS! Everything was beyond perfect. Michelle is extremely organized and professional but also understands the stress of planning a wedding and leads with a gentle touch. She completely brought our vision to life and introduced us to key vendors. The day was perfectly seamless and there is not a thing we would change. I would recommend Michelle to anyone planning their wedding in the area.

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!

Absolutely AMAZING!! Michelle and her husband KILLED it! I planned a destination wedding in Florida all the way from GA and she managed to complete my entire vision for our wedding. Her and her husband were incredible the day of our wedding. She was on top of making sure my husband and I were happy the day of the wedding. We had codewords so she knew if I needed rescuing or help throughout the day of our wedding. They helped us pack up all our stuff and were nothing short of amazing! She also was so helpful in making sure I didn’t totally blow my budget! Loved them!

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.!”

I was very specific on the details of the aesthetics and Michelle and her team delivered my vision. She was professional, responsive and solutions driven through the entire planning process and provided tons of feedback based on her experience in hosting beach weddings. They were super attentive to my guests and were super hands on with everything the day of. My guest felt taken care of and I was relieved to know we were all in good hands. Forever grateful for connecting with Michelle and her team. My wedding ceremony 6/18 on Coquina Beach was a complete success! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.!”

“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!!”

I was so lucky to have found Michelle at Precious Moments Events on Facebook she was a God send!! 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. I had a few problems with linens and what knots but she was there to help me through it all. Michelle helped my family and I set up the meat and potatoes of our reception room the day before the wedding and then the day of her and her husband put their magic all over the venue and church to make it the most beautiful wedding ever! I am so thankful and grateful to Michelle for making our day perfect”

“”Me and my husband reside in MD and we chose our venue/resort in Florida from over hundreds of miles away just by google searching. Why? guess I’m crazy. I began the process without any help or guidance. I thought I had it all planned out until I ran into multiple issues with the venue I chose, multiple issues with the ceremony company I had booked. Things just kept falling apart I became overwhelmed. I was trying to plan a destination wedding with a unresponsive resort team all while being a new mom. I was on the urge with giving up after having to reschedule my wedding so many times due to the pandemic. I stumbled across Michelle on a Florida Facebook group where I reached out asking for wedding planning services. We introduced ourselves and from their I knew right away I could trust her. We chatted and I of course signed the contract bc I knew I needed her. A few weeks later I made a trip to FL and Michelle made sure to be there at my cake tasting to meet me etc. after meeting her in person I also then knew I made a good choice hiring her to fix the mess I had from the poor service from my resort. Although I did warn her of everything I had been through she agreed I deserved better and constantly reminded me she wouldn’t let me down. 5 months before my scheduled wedding my ceremony fell through completely. The company bailed-long story. Michelle from there took everything into her own hands and within 48 hours reached out to her close venders and she was able to put together a full ceremony. I eventually asked her to just do whatever she thinks will work and “surprise me”. Lol which I’m glad bc it took stress off of me and I was very impressed with every detail she put together . I got married on 10/16/2021 and everything went absolutely perfect. Michelle and her husband and her employee were on top of things. Constantly working but also helped me with my one year old so I could enjoy myself. Michelle also surprised me and my husband with a wonderful wall lighting that labeled mine and my husbands name with our date during our reception on the outside wall. Coolest thing I ever seen. I truly appreciate Michelle and as much as I’m glad the wedding part is over it also makes me sad I don’t have to plan with Michelle anymore. At first she was just a wedding planner who gave me a contract but in the end I gained a friend. Even though I’m hundreds of miles away I will support Michelle and her wedding planning services because she deserves it.!”

Cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Michelle, owner of Precious Moments. If anything went a miss during our wedding weekend, we did not know. Being from out of town, her referrals for catering, bar, DJ, photographer, transportation and rentals were right on and invaluable. Her personality exudes warmth and confidence that puts you at ease at once. We never felt rushed, pressured and always felt very valued. Our daughter’s wedding was perfect!”

“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!”

“For your Gorgeous Wedding that you can cherish for a Lifetime, I highly recommend hiring The Best ~ Michelle Borrero, Wedding Planner with Precious Moments Events. My daughters wedding was held on June 20, 2021. I found Michelle from a New York Times article. No small task planning a wedding for a former NJ Special Event Exec, but Michelle exceeded my expectations. Everything I Wanted, even the smallest detail, all of the elements came together as planed and professionally executed. I was living in TN planning a FL wedding. We were in consistent contact through multiple emails, texts, and phone calls. Michelle organized all vendors, including lighting, décor, rentals (linens, chairs, tables, place settings) florist (amazing florist) photographers, waitstaff, bartenders, photo booth, and finally, a 3′ Heart, that was shaped with candles on the beach! With her help, we took a beach front cement block building and transformed it into a Gorgeous, Elegant Beach Themed Wedding. For your Beautiful once-in-a Lifetime wedding hire Michelle”

” 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!””

“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!!”

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!!
