HI! I'M SAMM! 👋 gemma&co events is a Tampa Bay based wedding and event planning studio specializing in thoughtful details, fresh concepts, and celebrations that feel deeply personal. We partner with bold, romantic couples who value connection, creativity, and intentional design.

I can’t recommend Samm enough. While she was actually one of my bridesmaids, she also happens to be an incredible wedding planner, and I was lucky enough to benefit from her expertise throughout my entire planning process. She went on venue tours with me, helped me think through how my vision would actually come to life in each space, and patiently answered the millions of questions that come up when you’re planning a wedding. She has such a great eye for detail and design, but what I appreciated most was how thoughtful and practical she was when helping me make decisions. Even though she wasn’t officially my planner, she made the entire process feel less overwhelming and so much more fun. Any couple would be incredibly lucky to have her guiding them through their wedding planning. She truly cares about making each wedding special and personal.

From the beginning our first meeting together to our wedding day, Michelle was absolutely amazing! Michelle went above and beyond to create our vision for our wedding day. Michelle attention to details and working out ways to help with our budget was fabulous. Although we were not able to be in person for many things as we had a destination wedding, Michelle did her very best over numerous phone calls and zoom calls to create the best wedding day ever! She was also great at recommended many of her vendors who she has worked with for many other wedding. Every little detail at the wedding was amazing. Till this day everyone keeps talking about the wedding! It was beyond perfect with no issues at all. I loved that Michelle had a content creator and within a few weeks we were able to see highlights from our wedding day as we wait for our videographer and photographer to share their content with us. I would highly suggest Michelle as a wedding planner and venue designer in a heartbeat. Michelle and her team were very professional and organized.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

I genuinely enjoy planning/coordinating anything wether it’s a wedding, birthday party, baby shower, bridal shower, etc. I have great communication skills, especially with other vendors, which is important for every detail to be captured/ displayed on the day of your event.

Kate was a great asset to our wedding! We hired Kate for full planning and she was able to help us with budget, communicating with vendors, day of coordination, putting out or personal decor, and more! We had a large event with a fusion Indian-American wedding. We had an Indian ceremony, lunch, American ceremony, and reception all within the same day. I can’t imagine my wedding without her. It was great to have her help plan throughout our whole engagement and creating timelines, contacting vendors, and dealing with many details up until and through the day of. She was able to pivot quickly as needed like us having to move one ceremony from outdoors to indoors at the last moment. She was able to work under pressure and handled a lot of details and situations throughout the day that me, my husband, and our families didn’t need to handle ourselves. I can’t imagine only having the venue coordinator and not having Kate as our personal coordinator as well. If you are considering hiring a coordinator I would highly recommend Kate!

I started my career working in Catering Sales at an upscale Country Club. During my time in this career, I did my best to learn the industry and gain knowledge of how food and beverage runs on the backside of an event as well as how to accurately run an event timeline. During my time at the Country Club, I assisted with nearly 450 weddings plus hundreds of other non-ceremonial events. Although this career required a lot of invested time, I am forever grateful for all that I've learned and have been able to keep with me during my own event planning. After departing from the Country Club, my husband and I started our own little family.

We worked with Kelly Kennedy Weddings and Events for our November wedding, and I cannot recommend Kelly enough! We chose her Full Service package, and it was worth every bit. She helped us pull together the entire wedding in just six months, and from the very beginning she made the planning process feel manageable and fun. Kelly took my ideas and helped me create a vision that perfectly reflected what we wanted—a casual, walk-around style reception with incredible food stations, a live band, and an atmosphere that felt effortless yet unforgettable. One of the best parts of working with Kelly was not having to worry about set-up—or asking my family and friends to do it. Everything was taken care of, which allowed all of us to simply enjoy the day. Kelly was so easy to work with, always organized, and kept us on track without ever making the process feel overwhelming. Most importantly, she made sure that on the wedding day itself I was able to truly relax and enjoy every moment without stress. Everything flowed seamlessly, and it was clear how much time, effort, and care she put into making our day perfect. If you’re looking for someone who is creative, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day special, Kelly is the one.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were initially introduced to Wilder Minds Events after one of our friends recommended them to us for wedding planning. Aside from deciding on my husband, choosing Wilder Minds event planners was the best decision I made for my wedding. We started working with Delaney and right off the bat I knew we made the right decision—Delaney was attentive and quick to respond to any texts/calls/questions we had, although I didn’t know exactly how right my decision was until much later. About a week before the wedding we were faced with some extremely difficult decisions to make because of hurricane Helene. Our reception venue didn’t have power 24 hrs before the wedding and Delaney stepped up and was ready with several alternative options, providing us with peace of mind and reassurance every step of the way that she would do everything and anything within her power to make this wedding everything we had dreamt of it being. We ended up completely switching venues several hours before the welcome party started, and everything ended up being absolutely beautiful and unforgettable—all thanks to our amazing, kind and caring wedding planner Delaney and the wonderful, dedicated venders she had connected us with. I cannot thank Delaney and the Wilder Minds event planners enough for saving the best day of our lives. My husband and I are both genuinely sad that our time planning with Delaney is over and we will miss hearing from her on a regular basis very much.

Framed and displayed all over the house within hours of receiving them. The videos? Watched as often as you read your child a bedtime story. The day of? Amazing, lovely, smooth as a babies butt. We had bumps throughout planning and they were quickly resolved, we had bumps the day of, and we were able to sit back and laugh about it because we knew we were in good hands.

Hello there! My name is Erika and I am a full-service Certified Wedding Planner based in Tampa, FL. I've been in the event industry since 2016 and started my business in 2022. I am certified through The Certified Wedding Planner Society.

Awarded Best of Zola
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN!!!! From literally the first second I spoke with Erika, to the last moments of my wedding, she was the most caring, helpful, personable, and calming person I could have asked for. It was literally as though she cared about my wedding just as much as I did. She quite literally took the vision I had of my day, and brought that vision to life more than I could have ever imagined. She will be your right hand woman, hype woman, and anything you need her to be. She handled all communications with vendors and pointed them in every single direction throughout the entire process, taking it off my plate. She took all my crazy ideas (timing the exact amount of seconds each bridal party couple got to walk down the aisle so I could walk out at a very specific time, hanging every luggage tag I had made for every guest in alphabetical order, picking up last min things I forgot, and everything in between...), and brought them all to life with a smile on her face! I had several vendors reach out to me and tell me she's the most organized and fun planner they have ever worked with, and I can see why! If you're thinking of hiring Erika, DO IT. I did not have a stress in the world the entire day because I knew every single detail I had planned was going to go perfectly because of her, and it actually did. There was not ONE single thing during my day that went wrong and I got everything I envisioned and it's truly because of her. HIRE THE PLANNER!!!!!!!! ALSO - we had Erika's husband, Hunter, as our photographer and LET ME TELL YOU that if you're thinking about hiring the two of them together, DO IT!!! They coordinated our timeline and worked SO WELL together - we had guests tell us all night how much fun our photographer was and how amazing our planner did. We LOVE you Erika, and are so thankful for everything you did for us!!! You might say... we were Enchanted to meet you!!!

Fresh Capsule Vibes LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was easy, fast, and they were always on top of things throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was great - they were incredibly professional and went above and beyond for us. They catered to us and my family all day, put together a beautiful venue, and even when a crisis mode hit, they handled it seamlessly and got the job done. Such professionals, and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend Fresh Capsule Vibes LLC again and again. Thank you Jesse, Kate, and Tatianna - you ladies are amazing!

In February of 2024 (and the year leading up to), I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca from Bustle and Bloom for my wedding, and I can't recommend her services enough! I’ve literally told all of my friends getting married that she’s the one to hire FIRST. Initially, I hired Rebecca as a wedding coordinator for day-of, but she graciously took on the role of a mini planner when I needed more help. Her patience and grace in dealing with unpleasant guests/vendors were truly commendable and appreciated as the bride and I didn’t have to handle much on the wedding day. Rebecca managed everything seamlessly and truly seemed like my best friend for the day, ready to assist with anything I needed or any issues that arose. My now husband still talks about her all the time… she brought him a snack tray during photos and instantly became his BFF too. We loved our day with B&B by our side. I also hired her for our floral needs. Rebecca's floral design was stunning and perfectly complemented our desired overall aesthetic. The fact that she provided both planning and floral services made the entire process so much more cohesive and stress-free. Her ability to bring my vision to life was remarkable, and she handled every detail with such poise and professionalism. Thanks to Rebecca and the Bustle and Bloom team, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more! If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about you and your special day, Rebecca is the one to choose.
