We simply can't recommend Pam and Ignite Your Occasion enough!
My husband and I met Pam in July 2019 at an event thorough our catering company, and met with her to talk about how she could help us. At the time we were thinking we could totally handle organizing our wedding on our own, but looking back I don't know what we would have done without Pam! We ended up having to postpone our wedding THREE times because of Covid, and Pam helped us stay organized throughout the whole ordeal.
She was detail-oriented in a way that helped us make our big day run so smoothly. Not only that, but she was friendly

Words cannot express how great it was working with Pamela Yerkes! She helped us with our wedding on 11/6/21. She is attentive, meticulous, responsive and an all around positive person. Her attention to detail and organization is what stood out to me instantly! She made the planning process smooth and I couldn't have asked for a better day of coordinator. Anything we had questions about, she could answer or find us the answer. We communicated constantly and that was such a big help! She removed the worries and stressors of so many aspects of wedding planning. She goes above and beyond, which I felt

OMG! What can I say about Pam and her business! She is sooo organized and pays extra attention to details. She stays on top of everything from contacting the vendors to making sure you enjoy a drink on your wedding day. I did not know what to expect from a planner/day of coordinator but I must say, Pam, exceeded my expectations.

We worked with Pamela Yerkes of Ignite Your Occasion for my wedding, 10/16/21, and had a VERY POSITIVE experience. My mother is a BIG DIY person and Pamela was able to take all our plans and execute them the day of the wedding. We gave Pamela a copious number of notes and she was very patient and thorough in making sure our wedding day vision came to life! She was always pleasant and had two wonderful assistants. We would highly recommend her for your special occasion!

Hiring Pamela to help us with our wedding planning was the best decision we made among the seemingly endless wedding planning details. She helped guide us through the entire process start to finish. Her experience and references helped us keep our focus, customize our plans according to what was important to us, gently guide us away from decisions that would not have been in our best interest, and help us stay close to our budget. After all the wedding planning was wrapped up and our wedding day ended without anything missing it was somewhat sad to wrap things up because we felt like we had made

We hired Ignite Your Occasion a little late in the wedding planning game but Pam did not disappoint! She was always getting back to us with any questions we had (there were many) and tried making the experience as stress free as possible. She would always be checking in to make sure we were doing okay and then keeping track of the many contracts with vendors was a huge help. You can tell her dedication and passion in what she does! We are so thankful for the hard work she put into making our wedding day PERFECT. We seriously could not have done it without her. She has such an eye for the little

I hired Ignite Your Occasion for our wedding in October.. I decided to do the “month of” package. My overall experience was great! I loved the spreadsheet she used. It really made me think about things I would have forgotten and it kept me very organized. I also really felt like I could depend on the company which made me feel relieved as a bride. Pam would check in with me all the time and see how things were going. Come the month of, she was on top of it with the contracts and really making sure my vision was coming to life. The day of the wedding, I had no worries and it went great. This

I highly recommend Ignite Your Occasion for anyone planning a wedding or any type of event that you may need planning assistance. Pam made wedding planning easy and stress free. What really stood out to me about this company was how responsive Pam was. She was easy to get a hold of and answered all of my wedding planning questions and had great suggestions/solutions when needed. Not only does she have a vast amount of knowledge regarding wedding planning, but her connections/vendor relationships in the Tampa Bay area, were extremely useful and made the process of finding a wedding videographer

When I started my search for a wedding planner, I was mainly looking for someone that would keep my wedding day running smoothly from the start to finish- I really wanted my mom and sister to be able to sit back and enjoy the day and not worry about a single thing!
Pam way surpassed every single expectation and made the entire year of planning SO fun.
She was prompt and perfectly on time from the very first email I sent reaching out to her all the way to wedding day. We hired her as our “Month of Coordinator”, but she was truly there for us every step of the planning process.

I am an older bride and already knew the details of what I wanted and the vendors when I reached out to Pam. She was accommodating to what I had planned and added value in some of the details I had not thought of. She took charge and I never had to worry about anything. One particular moment of the day stood out to me where she was invaluable. We had our "reception" on a catamaran and a thunderstorm was looming right before. It was also when it was the only time that day that my new husband and I had quiet time together between events. I knew she would handle it by talking with the captain and
