First Coast Weddings gave us our dream wedding!
Heather and her team were absolutely incredible throughout this entire process. She kept us on a great timeline, found incredible vendors, and generally took a huge load off of our plates during this busy time. Heather also provides a sweet, comforting, and calming presence both on the big day and at every meeting leading up to the wedding. She struck the perfect balance of providing helpful information while also encouraging us to express what we wanted on our day. I came in with not a lot of clarity on what I wanted the day to look like and she was amazing at guiding us and helping craft the perfect wedding. Her communication was consistent and excellent and everyone was incredibly professional. The wedding day was everything we hoped for and more and I could not recommend Heather and the First Coast Wedding team highly enough!!Heather and her team were absolutely incredible throughout this entire process.

Ponte Vedra Wedding
Hiring Laura and the First Coast team will be the best decision you make ahead of your wedding. Not only is Laura professional, thorough, and detail oriented, but she's also incredibly nice and caring. On our wedding day, it was a true 50/50 if we would be able to have the ceremony outside due to storms in the area. Watching Laura handle venue logistics, handle the bride and groom (plus family) and pull off giving us our outdoor dream wedding, was seeing a true professional in action. Laura is the type of planner you'd want to strategize with on the phone for an hour, but also talk about life with over a meal or drink. Lastly, she knows the Jax area extremely well (we got marries in Ponte Vedra) and had done several events at both our rehearsal and wedding venues, making the entire experience smooth and stress free. We encourage you to hire Laura as we did, you will be as thrilled as we are!Hiring Laura and the First Coast team will be the best decision you make ahead of your wedding.

Exceptional Wedding Planning Services in Jacksonville, FL
Heather Randall and the First Coast Weddings team did an exceptional job planning our Wedding!

As an out-of-state Bride, Heather’s vendor recommendations were top-notch; she put my mind at ease, knowing that she and her team were my local “boots on the grounds”, interacting with all our Jacksonville-area vendors. Our Wedding Day was everything we could have ever imagined, and so much more; simply put, it was MAGICAL!

Thank you FCWE!!!!
We cannot recommend First Coast enough!! We had the pleasure of working with Laura, and she was incredible. From the moment we decided to work together, she made sure I had everything I needed including details that hadn't even crossed my mind. During the wedding, I knew I could count on her excited smiles and "Do you need anything"s. She gave me my peace on one of the best, most chaotic days of my life and that is more than I could have asked for. Thank you so so much!We cannot recommend First Coast enough!!

First Coast Weddings
What was in our hearts was love. What we wanted to share with our closets friends was the love we had for one another a for them to celebrate in that joy with us. We didn’t have a vision or story board or Pinterest to fully articulate what that would look like, but what we felt on our wedding day was exactly our hearts desire. What was felt that day could not be engineered or curated perfectly just for “the gram”
Laura is just that good at what she does- and this is the why- she cared so deeply about understanding who we were as a couple. She is communicative, capable, organized, professional and has a great network of vendors. Her expertise allowed us to just be and enjoy every moment of the day! Not to mention, she is the kindest sweetest person and I know she also cares about our happily ever after- after we say “I do.” I’m happy she was there to celebrate with us on our wedding as our planner and also consider her a friend.
Thank you and your team for all you do!

Excellent from start to finish!!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Laura Salmon as our wedding coordinator, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and expertise she provided. From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey until the last dance on our special day, Laura was there to assist with each step and made our lives easier! She guided us through every decision, from coordinating timelines to finalizing vendor discussions, and ensuring that every element of our wedding was flawlessly executed. Her experience and industry knowledge was invaluable, providing us with a sense of reassurance and confidence during what can often be a stressful time! On our wedding day, Laura and her assistant Savannah truly made our day the best. They orchestrated every aspect of the event, ensuring that everything flowed seamlessly. Their calm demeanor and ability to handle any unexpected situations allowed us and our families to relax and fully enjoy the day. We ultimately had to change our ceremony location at the last moment due to a rain storm, and luckily Laura and her team were there to help deliver the message to us and to ensure that we still had the best wedding we could've dreamed of. She made the necessary adjustments at the last minute, even utilizing table arrangements at the ceremony to still provide beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. Beyond Laura's organizational and creative talents, she was also an incredible source of support throughout the day. She provided guidance and a calming presence during moments of stress or nervousness with the weather changes throughout the day. In summary, we cannot recommend First Coast Weddings and Events and Laura enough! If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who goes above and beyond, Laura is who you need!We recently had the pleasure of working with Laura Salmon as our wedding coordinator, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and expertise she provided.

I cannot say enough good things
I recently worked with Laura and First Coast Wedding & Events for my special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Laura went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. Everything ran smoothly and our guests had a memorable experience.
The communication leading up to the event was clear and timely. Laura was always available to answer our questions and offer advice, and she made us feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly, from the setup to the timing of the events.
The attention to detail was impressive, and my wedding party and guests were blown away by the level of service provided. Laura and her team were professional, courteous, and went out of their way to make sure everyone was taken care of.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. As the Bride, I was able to fully enjoy our wedding without any additional stress or worries. I have Laura to thank for that.
Overall, I would highly recommend Laura and First Coast Wedding & Events to anyone looking for a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

Beyong amazing! Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend First Coast Weddings and Events enough! Laura was our coordinator, and she made our day absolutely perfect!! Leading up to the big day, Laura was such a pleasure to work with and was beyond organized and on top of everything!
Our wedding was more than I could ever imagine. If anything did go wrong at our wedding, I didn't even know! She handled everything and was behind the scenes making sure everything was perfect! She was so prepared and had an "emergency kit" with everything you could ever need! My dress ripped- She had a sewing kit. Had a stain- Tide to go! Lots of safety pins too! She played such a huge part in making sure everything ran smoothly and on time. I cannot thank First Coast Weddings and Events enough for making sure our wedding was the best day of our lives!!I cannot recommend First Coast Weddings and Events enough!

The best in the business
I am profoundly grateful for Heather and her team at First Coast Weddings and Events. When I got engaged there was no question who I wanted on my side helping to plan, coordinate and execute a perfect wedding. I am a repeat client of First Coast Weddings and Events and I can say with certainly there is no one better in the business! Heather and her team listen, advise, review, encourage and support you through the stress of planning a wedding with professionalism, knowledge and (most importantly for me) with heart. There is a reason that FCWE celebrated two decades in business this year! FCWE supported me in my vision, helped me stay in budget without sacrificing anything and took care to keep me organized and on track. Even as a hurricane approached, Heather and her team helped us pivot when we needed to and encouraged us to breathe and trust that no matter what, it would be the day we dreamed of! FCWE has my highest recommendation!!!I am profoundly grateful for Heather and her team at First Coast Weddings and Events.

The best decision you’ll make!
Laura from first coast made wedding day easier than I ever imagined. From the start Laura was so helpful and was always available to help address any questions or concerns that we had. It was like talking to a good friend every time we talked with her too! On wedding day she took care of everything and did it just the way we had communicated with her. If there was anything people were unsure of Laura was always able to go above and beyond to help and get it taken care of. I cannot recommend Laura and First Coast Weddings enough.Laura from first coast made wedding day easier than I ever imagined.

Completely worth it!
I was very hesitant to get a day of coordinator and I would completely recommend one if you are debating it. I reached out to First Coast 45 days before my wedding and it was absolutely worth every penny. Heather and Laura were fantastic and took all of the pressure and planning off of me and my family the day of the wedding. They were very easy to reach if I needed them and communicated multiple times to make sure everything went the way that I wanted it.

Best Wedding Planner in Ponte Vedra/Jacksonville!!
First Coast Weddings, specifically Laura Salmon, was the absolute best wedding planner I could have hired for my big day. She is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and my wedding venue, TPC Sawgrass. The process was seamless from the day we began planning and through our wedding day. I loved the online planning tools First Coast made available to us and their amazing seating chart resources. Laura always worked with our tight schedule and made herself available which meant so much to me. She actually listened to how I wanted my wedding timeline to go and made sure every detail was perfect until the end. Weddings can sometimes be stressful but Laura took that part out for me so I could enjoy every moment. I cannot recommend Laura or her staff more for your wedding day. 1000/10.First Coast Weddings, specifically Laura Salmon, was the absolute best wedding planner I could have hired for my big day.

Easy Partner for the Big Day- Patient, Organized, Calm
Heather Randall was fabulous to work with from start to finish. She has a calm demeanor which is appreciated and she is organized and fast to act on to-dos, quickly following up with other vendors and keeping us on track with decisions and more. She offered good perspective when asked but never interfered where not appropriate. She balanced the preferences of us as a couple as well as my family. She helped us feel confident things were taken care of. She even went above and beyond to final little ways to make us feel special as a couple-- gifting us a small German tradition (given the German groom)! Highly recommend as a partner in this process.

Totally worth it!
I would recommend a wedding planner to anyone, especially First Coast! It is definitely worth the money and it takes the stress off of the bride-to-be. We worked with Kari and she was amazing! She reached out to all my vendors for me which gave me more time for other things. She was very responsive any time I had a question and she even texted me ideas for my wedding! She always made sure that everything was exactly how I wanted it. A day of coordinator is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy their wedding without having to worry about the timeline of events. Your other vendors will also thank you for having someone there to run the show. Thank you again Kari and First Coast Weddings, we couldn't have done it without you!I would recommend a wedding planner to anyone, especially First Coast!

Thank You Laura!
Laura Salmon was a joy to work with. She is kind, passionate, sincere, empathetic, accommodating, and hard working. She was very generous and flexible with her time and we are grateful for all of the support she offered on the months leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. The Google portal that the FCW team put together was very helpful and comprehensive. Thank you again to Laura and the entire team!!Laura Salmon was a joy to work with.

Amazing Day of Coordinator
Laura and the team at First Coast Weddings were amazing. She did a great job getting us prepared for our big day and making sure we thought through all of the details, both big and small. On the day of our wedding, she kept managed everything perfectly. We would absolutely recommend Laura and her team.Laura and the team at First Coast Weddings were amazing.

They take care of everything so you can enjoy your day
I had the best experience working with First Coast Weddings last July. Every time I had a concern or question, their team had already thought through the scenario and had a ready solution. From the dress rehearsal to the day itself I never had to worry about people knowing where to be or when to move. Knowing that I had the First Coast Weddings team running everything behind the scenes and coordinating with my Church and venue staff gave me the freedom to focus on my wedding and not worry about my guests. I could not recommend them more highly!I had the best experience working with First Coast Weddings last July.

Great Experience!
Our wedding was August 22, 2020 and the day we decided to have Laura Salmon with First Coast Wedding and Events assist us as our wedding planner was the best decision we ever could have made. Our wedding date was originally scheduled for May, but due to the global pandemic it had to be rescheduled to August. Laura was right there for us through it all, from contacting our vendors to ensure all dates were rescheduled with no conflicts. She was so genuine and always took the time to reach out to us to make sure we were emotionally doing OK. Her organization with us really worked well with our personalities and we never had to follow up on anything. She always had it all covered. She ensured we had check in meetings to always ensure we were on track with things we needed to have done prior to the wedding date. Laura left no stone unturned and I am so grateful to have had her throughout this process and on our wedding day. She worked very well with our venue coordinator with a wedding day timeline which made everything flow seamlessly. Planning a wedding is beyond stressful but I can't even imagine how we could have ever done it all without Laura, she is definitely one of the best!

A Must for Planning your First Coast Wedding
Like many brides-to-be, our daughter had to postpone her Spring 2020 wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Laura Salmon and the team at First Coast Weddings made this stressful time and process so much easier: In addition to providing us with the information needed to make the decision to reschedule the wedding, Laura notified all of the vendors of the new date and facilitated the signing of any contract addenda that were needed.
Throughout the next four months, Laura stayed in touch with us, reassuring us that the wedding we had envisioned was still a possibility and offering her assistance with everything from venue signage to favors. On the day of the wedding itself, she and her assistant were invaluable: From the moment they arrived three hours before the ceremony until well after the reception had concluded, they made sure everything was set up and that all vendors and members of the bridal party arrived on time and knew where to go. They also made sure all gifts and personal family items were packed up and delivered to us during their final sweep of the venue late that evening.
Laura's calm demeanor and attention to every detail allowed us to relax, breathe and enjoy the day for which we had waited so long. Securing Laura's services was the best investment we made in planning our daughter's wedding and we highly recommend her services.Like many brides-to-be, our daughter had to postpone her Spring 2020 wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Very Necessary, Very Wonderful
We were married at TPC Sawgrass and went back and forth on whether we needed a day-of coordinator-- I am grateful we made the decision to hire Heather for the full day! Heather is PERFECT. Absolutely wonderful, patient, helpful, and professional. Any detail, no matter how small, Heather helped me and made it awesome. Vendor recommendations, details I did not know I needed to think about, emailing our timeline to everyone involved; she did it and she was perfect. She saved us so much time and stress.We were married at TPC Sawgrass and went back and forth on whether we needed a day-of coordinator-- I am grateful we made the decision to hire Heather for the full day!

I had the pleasure of working with Emma Murfin on my wedding day. From when she first reached out to get in touch with me to the actual day of the wedding, she was amazing! Every single detail was taken care of without issue. I never had to worry that something wasn't going to get done. She helped everything go so smoothly, and I couldn't have asked for a kinder person to work with. I highly recommend Emma and First Coast Weddings and Events for your special day - they are phenomenal!I had the pleasure of working with Emma Murfin on my wedding day.
