Transforming Your Vision into Reality

Events by Marykate is a wedding planner in Tampa that offers personalized packages from full service to day of coordination executed to perfection. Why us? Your story is unique, and your wedding should reflect that. Unlike other planners who use a one-size-fits-all approach, we specialize in creating personalized experiences that truly represent who you are as a couple. 

Imagine your guests raving about the unique wedding favors we crafted just for you, or your ceremony leaving everyone in awe with a touch of production magic from our theater background. We’re not just event planners; we’re visionaries. Let’s create something extraordinary together.

Marykate not only helped me create the wedding I was dreaming of, but did it in a way that was affordable and stunning. Her creativity and vision for our epic ceremony entrance still has my family and friends raving!

Why We're Different

Why you should hire a wedding planner.jpg

One-On-One Planning

With such an important moment in your life, why would you settle for anything less than working directly with the same lead planner throughout the entire process - one who actually responds to all your questions AND knows the industry?  Plus the process should be FUN, and we help make it that way with surprises along the way.
