We hired Blue Water Weddings for our wedding planning and WOW, it was the best decision we could have ever made.

I can't recommend Blue Water Weddings enough! Julia and her team are amazing! After working with a less than desirable coordinator for several months we decided to make the switch one week before our big day. Thankfully I made a call to Julia! She jumped right in and picked up the pieces so quickly. She is the definition of professional. Our wedding went off without a hitch and its all due to Julia. She was cool, calm, collected and made me feel at ease all day. Julia, I can't thank you enough executing my vision and pulling off the most perfect day.

Mary was what I called my "wedding therapist." She truly held my hand through the entire covid wedding experience and was so helpful! There is no way I could have planned a destination wedding in a month without her. She was able to do everything I wanted within my limited budget, which was amazing. Her knowledge of the area and the vendors was invaluable and she took care of everything from the rehearsal onward so I could relax and enjoy. I was so happy she was there and the wedding was gorgeous down to every last detail.

I highly recommend Blue Water Weddings to assist with wedding planning. I had the privilege of working with Julia for our recent wedding in Islamorada and she was phenomenal. From the beginning of the process to the day of she really made sure to bring all my ideas and dreams to life for my big day. Not only did she find me a once in a lifetime venue, but she assisted with connecting me with all the other necessary vendors. She was professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you for planning such a beautiful event for us!

We have worked various events as the transportation provider for Blue Water Weddings and they have always been organized, diligent, and cordial with all of our team members. They are great to work with and their events are well-planned and executed. I would recommend them to all my friends and family.

Julia with Blue Water Weddings was incredible to work with, very professional, and knowledgeable. She provided options I had not thought about for wedding venue sites to help stay within budget. Her contacts and vendor list was great. All of the vendors highly respect her and said, “Oh Julia is your wedding planner? Then everything is going to be taken care of.” Day before my wedding and day of wedding she was there making sure everything ran smoothly and was totally organized. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!

Like many other brides at the beginning of my wedding planning experience I thought that I would be able to handle the destination wedding planning on my own, but I quickly realized that I couldn't. After speaking with several wedding planners in the Keys I chose Julia and I'm so glad that I did. Julia and her team have such a wonderful eye for design and work with an amazing team of vendors. My wedding day was far better than I could have imagined and I know I have Julia and Dene to thank for that. Not to mention that the wedding planning process was much less stressful having them on board as

Julia was absolutely wonderful in helping me put together my amazing destination wedding in Islamorada July 1, 2017. Extremely knowledgable of the area and very tied to the close-knit businesses. She was integral in pulling together what I refer to as my wedding dream-team of hair & make-up. cake, floral, photography, music and venue! Very flexible with putting my vision together but also always ready to lend her creativity, design flair and insightful ways to take advantage of many cost-effective tweaks that saved money while keeping the beauty and magic of the event intact. Julia is great at

We had an amazing wedding in the Florida Keys with Julia's help. We booked a location that fell through and luckily we found a better location (Coconut Palm Inn) that was perfect for a few day destination wedding. When the wedding is far away do not expect emails to be answered right away. She has a ton of weddings and the ones a month out are going to be top priority as it should be. She does a ton of weddings. She helped us find all the right vendors for everything to make our day perfect. A month out she was on top of everything getting it all finalized. There were a few minor things that

I did not have a great experience with Julia, the owner. She definitely does make planning a wedding easy as she knows all the locations, Caterers, entertainment and anything else you would need. I felt like we didn't meet eye-to-eye customizing my wedding too what I was looking for. She had some fun ideas to make things a true Florida Keys wedding.

Our wonderful adventure started with Julia at Blue Water Weddings prior to us even hiring her. We were interviewing Wedding Planners and when we were talking to Julia we told her about the location we were thinking of having our wedding. Without us even hiring her she suggested she do a FaceTime at the property so we can get a better idea of the property and what it had to offer. This type of excellent proactive customer service made us fall in love with her and her staff. From our initial conversation over the phone, Julia quickly learned our style and vision and she was spot on, after we

My experience with Julia made our wedding perfect! She is a very busy woman with many weddings. She answered my emails, texts, and phone calls in a timely manner. She had suggestions for everything and was able to direct me towards what I ever I needed even when I didn't know what it was. She listened to everything that my husband and I wanted and made sure that we were happy. She kept me organized and stress free. Her ideas are endless and beautiful. Her staff is sweet and hardworking. With Blue Water Weddings, my husband and I were able to enjoy our day and did not have to worry about anything

My wife and I went to Julia (Blue Water Weddings) about 1.5 years prior to the actual wedding. Julia was nice at first, and gave us a good deal on an entire package of planning and day of coordination. Then the nightmare began. When the wedding planning was getting into full swing, Julia was nowhere to be found. Simple emails to Julia often took days to be acknowledged. About 2 months prior to the actual wedding, when Julia was semi-involved, she sent an email saying she had lost our contract and demanded more money than was originally agreed to, for her to do the day of coordination.
