We want to thank you for making our wedding vow renewal ceremony absolutely perfect. Everything was exactly as we hoped it would be…even better! The pictures you took were beautiful. You went out of your way to make our day wonderful and we really appreciate it. Maybe we’ll see you again in another 10 years!
Thank you so much!
Nicki, you were absolutely wonderful. The way you handled every detail, even had someone to do makeup and hair on short notice. I couldn’t imagine anyone doing a better job than you. You were so nice and knew exactly what you were doing. I can’t emphasize enough how friendly you were to us. Everything went just perfectly. We will never forget what a great time we had. We wouldn’t change a thing.
We are so blessed to have found your site when looking for someone to plan our ceremony. Nicki you have been a Godsend for sure! It was a relief knowing that any questions I had you had the answers for me. Even when we ran into the OHH NOOO! on Good Friday trying to get our marriage license… Our pictures and video turned out wonderful, even better than I could’ve ever imagined. Thank you so very much for making our dreams a reality!
Nicki and Brian,

Nicki,
We looked and searched and spoke with many different wedding companies in Destin and once we spoke with you over the phone we knew you were the one who could make our event amazing! We had never been to Destin before our day yesterday but we had so much faith in your confidence and every step of the way you made us feel calm and excited! We would like to say that only you could have made our day as special and as beautiful as it was. Everything was meticulously detailed from the beach to the reception! If you are planning a beach wedding look no further! Trust me we have surfed and surfed the web, compared prices, and have communicated with many different wedding companies. Give Nicki a call because nobody else will be able to make you day as special, amazing, and beautiful as she can!
We love you Nicki!

Nicki,
I wanted to touch base with you and tell you how wonderful the pictures are! Everything was so beautiful. Thanks for getting the pictures to us before we left. I got up long enough to peek off my balcony and see your sunrise wedding in progress. Wow, that was early!
I couldn’t be happier with how everthing turned out, we really feel like our evening was perfect. The weather, how beautiful everything looked, how pretty the water was that particular day, the flowers, the music…etc. We had people complimenting us the rest of the week that were staying at Pelican Isle, apparently we drew a crowd of onlookers. The heart in the sand with the tiki/ferns was absolutely perfect with the lavendar.
I’m so glad Ken and Bev recommended you~
Thanks again,
Taryn CARTER=)
still trying to get used to that…lol
Nicki,
Thank you so much for making our wedding day beautiful and simple. We could not be happier. The pictures you took were amazing and the ceremony was just what we wanted. Thank you for asisting us to make it stress free and beautiful. I will send anyone I know to you guys. You rock!!!
Nicki,
Once again, thank you for the wonderful job you did on our wedding. Everyone who has seen the pictures have said how beautiful they are. Also, thank you for allowing us to have a Sunrise Wedding. I know it was early but we enjoyed every minute of it and you were right…it was beautiful. Thank you again and God bless!
Kim and I would like to take a minute to say thanks once again to Nicki for such a wonderful experience. The entire experience from beginning to end was everything we could have ever hoped it would be. Nicki is as professional as anyone could ever ask for not to mention being very personable. We have had a lot of inquiries already and have given Nicki our highest recommendation. Thanks again for such a wonderful experience.

Nicki,
We could not say enough good things about you! We really appreciate all that you did to help us on our special day. We were concerned because we were planning a destination wedding, but you helped put our mind at ease. Our wedding would not have been possible without all of your hard work and dedication.
Thanks again,
LaDon and Jimmy
Nicki,
We would like to express our sincere thanks to you for all that you did to make our wedding perfect!! When we decided on a beach wedding in Florida we knew we’d have some resarching to do. As we all know, you can’t beleive all you read online, but that was NOT the case with Island Sands Beach Weddings. After reading all of the great comments from your past couples and how pleased they were, that’s when we gave you a call. You graciously answered all of my questions whether via phone or email. You really set our minds at ease when you were available to meet with us to discuss our plans so far in advance when we were there trying to familiarize ourselves with the Destin area. Although we still had a few months to go, you also kept me informed of the beach status after the oil spill. I can say I was a little concerned about that but nothing was going to hamper our special day. We were actually able to put a smiling face to the voice on the phone. You take pride in your work and ensure that everything goes as planned, fulfilling the request of your clients to the best of your ability. Thank you and Marie (our officiant) for including my children in the ceremony and for making it so special! The photos you took are AMAZING! I can’t tell you how many compliments we’ve gotten. Thanks again for making our wedding our dream come true! If we can ever be of assistance to you or if you need a referral, please send the couple our way. We look forward to returning to Destin in the future and would enjoy meeting up with you again.
Best wishes to you and continued sucess!

Nicki,
You were truly a gift from heaven. My family fell in love with you because you made our daughter’s wedding day the happiest day of our lives. 50 people attend from Arkansas to Toronto Canada and everyone said it was the best wedding they ever attended. Everything was beautiful and absolutely perfect. As parent’s of the bride, we could not be happier. As a mother of the bride, when Lindsey first mentioned a beach wedding I was disappointed because it was not what I had dreamed of for my little girl. The wedding you planned was more beautiful and special than anything that I ever dreamed. You will always be a cherished person to us because of the part you played in our daughter’s special day.
All I can say is, wow! Everything was so amazing and easy for us. You worked incredibly hard to prepare our event and it was better than expected. The fact that you handled everything from setup to filing our license let us enjoy the days leading up to and after our event that much more. If you ever need a personal reference, then please let my mother or myself know. We would both be happy to speak very highly of you!
Thank you again!!! Lindsey & Dave
Nicki,
Everything was wonderful on our wedding day! You were so organized and pleasant to work with that I never felt worried about anything during the planning process. I loved loved loved my bouquet you created – it was so beautiful and smelled amazing! Thank you for making our day so special and perfect! We will never forget this day.
Good luck on your future endeavors! You’re amazing!
Thank you again Nicki for making the whole process of our wedding completely STRESS FREE!! After a long drive from Kentucky, we were completely at ease with you taking care of everything!!! Our wedding was beautiful, and our pictures were AMAZING!!!!! Thank you again SO MUCH!!!! We plan to come back to Destin for our many Anniversaries to come!!!!!
Nicki,
The pictures turned out great also. I would recommend you to anyone wanting to have a beach wedding. Thank you again for everything you did to help make our day special.
We wanted to thank you for all your hard work. Everything turned out great, even with not so great weather
Dear Nicki,
The services you provide are top notch comparable with other much more expensive weddings I have attended. The care and flawless execution you provide in attending to all details from pictures, flowers to location and set up could not be easier on the bride and groom. We literally stayed on the beach 1/5 hours before the wedding and you had it all put together and runnng right on time. Thank you for your hard work and good business skills and execution. The ceremony was wonderful and worry free.
Nicki,
I have to admit initially I was a bit nervous about not only using a company on the internet, but also actually planning a wedding ceremony for Florida when we live in northern Mississippi yet you put my worries at ease. You made the entire planning period worry free. You provided much needed information and details. You were so helpful from beginning all the way to the end, including that last minute steaming of my dress:) Everything went exactly as planned. I can’t forget how great Dan was during our ceremony; we were so pleased with him.
I am so amazed at how beautiful our pictures turn out. I just love them! You truly did an excellent job.
Thank you again for helping to make our wedding day beautiful & definitely memorable
Nicki,
Thank you so much for providing us with the perfect wedding! We couldn’t have asked for a better planner, officiant, weather or set-up. You are great at what you do and we will sing your praises to everyone! Thanks again for making everything so easy and efficient. Everyone at the wedding was thoroughly impressed with your professionalism and vision. Best of luck with all of your future endeavours!
-Leslie & Jerrod
p.s. Marie is an amazing officiant…so professional, thoughtful and poignant! Would highly recommend her to everyone!
Nicki, We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding so very special. We were impressed at how you handled all the details and kept us well informed as to what was going on. We will certainly recommend our friends to you. Thanks again

Nicki,
We just wanted to say thank you for everything you did to make our special day even more special! Everything was so perfect down to the beautiful rainbow! You were such a great help to me and anytime there was a problem on my end you had a solution from suggesting a restaurant for the reception to getting me the most gorgeous bridal bouquet. You were always available and ready to help. Also, the pictures turned out so great and we could not be more pleased! I still can’t believe that we took 1200 pictures! I will happily recommend you to anyone that is looking to have their dream beach wedding! Thank you so much for everything!
Karen
Nicki,
We wanted to extend our greatest appreciation to you for pulling together the details of our wedding on August 11th, with only about 3 weeks to make all the arrangements. We wanted something intimate and elegant, and that is what you delivered. I loved the bamboo and white drapes arbor, it looked very classy. I absolutely loved my bright green bouquet! And so far everyone who has seen our photos thinks you did an excellent job! Pastor Eric made us very comfortable. After showing the video to Rick’s parents, they committed on what a nice ceremony he performed. And we have had several comments from family members on how impressed they were with the audio and video. You were very easy to work with, and made us both feel very calm and comfortable during the process. Thank you so very much for making our day exactly what we hoped it would be!
With much love and thankfulness…
