    Would Recommend !!

    I loved working with the Ido Gulf Coast Weddings team. Carrie was very responsive and always there to help me throughout the entire planning process. The florals were so beautiful! They helped make the entire wedding season and wedding day perfect!

    Quality experience and great results!

    I want to thank Sissy for doing such an incredible job with my daughter’s wedding. It is so stressful to plan a destination wedding. My wedding planner gave me Sissy’s name to do the flowers for the wedding. She did an outstanding job! The flowers were just gorgeous! I then found out she could handle all my rental needs of chairs and reception and wedding decorations. They promptly delivered and took down everything that was used. Sissy also helped me by giving me other helpful suggestions such as other vendors needed for wedding events. Sissy was so helpful and professional. I would highly recommend Sissy and Pelican Pete’s Party Rentals for any special events. Thank you for helping to make our wedding a success.

    5 STARS!!! (I would give them 10 if I could!)

    I don’t know what my husband & I would have done without Sissy & Deanna, not only on our wedding day but through the entire process. We had a destination wedding coming all the way from Michigan & I never felt like our plans missed a beat. Our first venue cancelled on us due to a hurricane, but Sissy & Deanna never made it a big deal because they have so many connections in the Gulf Shores area!! Before I knew it they had other options for BEAUTIFUL venues for our same wedding date!! We booked another the next day! When another hurricane was headed our way for that Saturday, my husband & I decided it would be safer for everyone if we moved the wedding to Monday. Sissy & Deanna had everything covered with our vendors & worked everything out! The transition was flawless & not to mention everything turned out perfectly!! Everything that Sissy & Deanna recommended (florals, DJ, minister, bakery, photographer & we even used their sister-company Pelican Pete for party rentals) everything was spot on perfect! These ladies don’t allow you to stress, they just took our vision & made it happen. They never make you feel like a bother & are truly SO great at what they do! We are so grateful to have had the best & most genuine wedding planners around!! Thank you so much for planning our dream wedding Sissy & Deanna!

    Ido Gulf Coast Weddings's reply:

    Oh Jordyn! Thank you so much for your sweet review! We absolutely loved working with you and your mom through everything. I mean after TWO hurricanes and moving your date just so all the family could get here as soon as the island opened back up! Whew! But we made it and your wedding was beautiful! Best Wishes and can't wait to see y'all again!

    Best customer experience ever!

    Sissy is AMAZING! My wedding isn’t until the fall of 2020 and it’s a destination wedding so not being where everything you need can be stressful. Sissy has been making this process so easy for me!!! Finding ways to save money, how to arrange things, she even sent her guys to the venue to check which was the set up would work best!!! Not only has she helped with the rentals but she helped me find my hair and makeup company, florist, and even helped me on catering and told me pros and cons of things! 10/10 so pleased with Ido Gulf Coast!! Best decision I’ve made for this wedding by far!

    Ido Gulf Coast Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Anne for the outstanding review! We are so excited to work with you on your upcoming wedding. I'm so happy I was about to answer all your questions and put you at ease about all the details. We've got this!!! Enjoy and relax.
    XOXO

    Great service

    Deanna was great through our whole process. We planned an out of state wedding so we really needed help organizing all the vendors. She was very personable and professional. I highly recommend ido along with Pelican Party Rentals.

    Ido Gulf Coast Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Amanda! It was so nice working with you. I am so glad you chose us to be a part of your big day. It was beautiful!
    Best Wishes Always,

    Perfect Beach Wedding

    Everything was beautiful! I really appreciate all that Sissy put together, cake included. Answering all our questions and making this wonderful step in our lives a wonderful moment to cherish.
    My husband, Scott just keeps saying how much he’s glad we got married on the beach and truly enjoyed Pastor Al. The wonderful words he spoke, prayers and blessings! :-)
    Deanna did an amazing job setting everything up and packing up and helping us load it. Penny for all the thoughtful moments she captured for us. We are very blessed!
    Thank you so much! Many blessing to you all and your business!
    Scott and Vickie Goodwin

    Wedding reception

    The staff at Pelican Pete was a lifesaver. We traveled 800 miles to Gulf Shores for our daughters wedding. They completely handled the setup and cleanup of the venue. It was such a blessing to have them handle everything so I could enjoy her special day. They were very professional in helping me know what I would need for our venue since I had not seen it before. I would highly recommend their services.

    Ido Gulf Coast Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Melinda. It was a pleasure working with you and your sweet family! It makes us happy to see everyone having a great time and being able to enjoy the celebration of marriage.
    XOXO

    Great experience!

    Planning a destination wedding is terrifying but Sissy completely alleviated all of my fears. She had many great ideas and completely understood my vision. Our wedding was stunning and I could not have asked for a better experience. She saved us with several last minute requests! You will not regret trusting Sissy with your perfect day!

    Over the Top Outstanding and Amazing

    The crew made sure everything was so flawless for our special day.
    We had a total wedding party of 20 people between the groomsmen and bridesmaids and even with a huge group they rocked our coordination and the ceremony was perfect.
    We bought our own decor for reception and paid them the set it all up. Everything was on point and exactly what we wanted done.
    They answered every time I called with questions even if it was the weekend or they were off. One time Sissy even answer while at her daughters graduation. They all where fabulous and always on top of everything. They made our day more than we ever expected it to be...... PERFECTION does exist!

    Ido Gulf Coast Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Hope for such kind words. We are so happy to have been able to make all your dreams come true between Covid and Hurricanes...YOU DID IT!! We wish you both nothing but the best!!

    Best Wishes,
    Deanna & Sissy

    AMAZING work by the ladies at I Do Gulfcoast!

    I could not recommend Sissy and DeAnna more! They were absolutely wonderful to work with. Even though I was planning from far away, they made me feel like I was at home! If you are planning on getting married near the beach, you have to use with them! You will not be disappointed!

    We loved working with you every step of the way. You were so fun and full of personality. We are so happy you chose us for your Big Day!!

    Perfect experience

    The team with IDo Gulf Coast weddings made my wedding everything I could dream of and more. Being from out of town and also having last minute weather issues, they handled everything professionally and made it better than I could have ever imagined. They are so friendly and responsive. I can’t express enough how much I loved working with them and recommend them to anyone getting married in the area.

    Thank you Kim for rolling with the punches and trusting us for your Special Day! You were such a joy to work with and so easy going! Best Wishes!

    The savior of our wedding!!

    Sissy and team came on last minute and made the wedding of my dreams come true in less than 3 months. They did everything from the flowers, set up, coordinating, etc... you can trust everything will be perfect if you put her in charge of your dream day.

    Thank you so much March. We are so happy we were able to make all your dreams come true. We wish you both the best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

    20 out of a 10!

    I hired Ido for my wedding planning, rentals, and flowers..which they all do within their business. My experience was fabulous. They had so much attention to detail, took time to understand me and my style, and delivered beyond my expectations on everything. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant from start to finish. I would highly recommend them if you want a perfect & beautiful event.

    Ido Gulf Coast Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Donna for a lovely review! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and making your vision come true! Many happy wishes to you both!

    I cannot say enough about how accommodating Ms. Sissy and her staff are! I recently had a destination wedding in Gulf Shores, AL which included a beach ceremony and indoor reception at Craft Farms Golf Resort and "I Do/ Pelican Pete Party Rentals" provided the decor for both. Every step of the way, Ms. Sissy and crew went above and beyond to ensure that my wedding day was the BEST day ever! They were very patient with all of my changes, including on my wedding day when I needed additional items; they pulled what I needed and even brought it to me. This staff was professional, helpful, and friendly. The prices were affordable and everyone raved about how nice everything looked on my wedding day. I highly recommend this establishment!

    If I could give 10 stars I would. Sissy, Heather, and the IDo Gulf Coast team rocked it. I feel so blessed to have had them help coordinate my rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. They were so on top of things and made sure I was stress free for my big day. Everything was so perfect down to the last detail. Being from out of state, I was worried how I was going to plan everything, but they took the reigns and made sure everything was coordinated PERFECTLY. I couldn't have asked for a better team :))

    If I could give a million stars, I would! Sissy Cook and her staff are amazing!!! We had our wedding in Gulf Shores on Dec. 31st. There was a good bit of anxiety in the beginning because there was no way to know what the weather would be like. Sissy put my fears to rest by having more than one plan for the festivities. Ido Gulfcoast Weddings is a one stop shop. They took care of EVERYTHING and more! All we had to do was show up!!! We were able to have the ceremony on the beach and the reception outside as well! It was fabulous!!! From the food, decor, flowers, music, photography, rehearsal, spa day for the bridesmaids and much more, she coordinated it all! Anytime I had a question,day or night, Sissy and her staff responded. Sissy is a beautiful person inside and out. Her staff is so professional and kind. You cannot go wrong by hiring Ido Gulfcoast Weddings to plan your event!!!

    Sissy and Jeff were beyond amazing at our wedding! The week before the wedding we rented a tent to go over our tables and chairs for the reception because we knew that it was going to rain. What we weren't counting on is that a huge storm would come through and make the tent collapse with tables and all underneath an hour and a half before the ceremony. Sissy and Jeff immediately jumped in to action and had a crew out there in no time to get everything set back up just in time! They were truly amazing! Words cannot express how blessed we were to have these two to help us that day, we couldn't have done it without them!

    Sissy and Beau were great!! So easy to work with, extremely responsive and helpful with everything! Sissy even gave me a few other vendor referrals! Being a 1,000 miles away can be a challenge, but they went by the property a few times to figure out the best layout, and Beau envisioned a lighting set up that really made the reception look amazing! Absolutely LOVED working with them!!

    Sissy at Pelican Pete was wonderful in helping me with all of my rental needs when planning my wedding. I live in Tennessee and she was so helpful. She was evening willing to drive to the location to tell me whether or not I could put a reception tent up. She is a doll! Please call her and she will take great care of you!

    We loved working with Sissy Cook at I Do Gulf Coast Weddings! Our daughter married at Rumors Beach House in Orange Beach the first week in May, a perfect venue suggested by Sissy. We wanted our only child's wedding to be absolutely perfect and it was! It was a destination wedding for us so after one visit the previous year we did all of the planning over the phone or via email. We trusted Sissy implicitly as she was fantastic and suggesting vendors and keeping us on schedule. On the wedding day EVERYYHING was taken care of. Someone was even sent to purchase a garter at the last minute, which we had forgotten about! Sissy, Heather and Deanna, and all of the rest of the staff were just amazing to work with, seeing to every detail. They were very professional, efficient, and fun! it was a beautiful, memorable wedding for the 75 guests who attended!

    We used Sissy and her team for our decor and florals. We used an event coordinator, so we didn't get to work a whole lot with them down the stretch. But I can tell you that our brainstorming meetings were awesome! Her team has grand ideas that will fit any budget. She rented lounge furniture for us to fit our taste and most importantly... she custom made me a driftwood arbor! It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Her willingness and skill set to create our dream wedding was amazing! We also used her team for our florals. They helped us select a unique blend of seasonals that, now three weeks later, are still fresh! They took their decor and florals and perfectly meshed them with some decor we provided as well. Set up was efficient and flawless! They without a doubt created the most beautiful and perfect wedding ambiance!
