Meet Your Lead Wedding &Event Planner

Hi, I’m Terri — founder of Events by Terri, wedding & event planner, detail-obsessed designer, and your new planning bestie. I’ve spent over 10 years helping couples create heartfelt, unforgettable weddings that feel authentically them.

What sets me apart? I genuinely love what I do — and I love making people feel taken care of. I know how overwhelming planning can be (especially from afar), so I’ve built my business around making things simple, beautiful, and stress-free for you.

From our first call to your final farewell, I’m in your corner — guiding you, advocating for you, and celebrating with you every step of the way.

With Love,

Why the Florida Keys

Planning weddings in the Florida Keys requires more than creativity. It requires regional knowledge, strong vendor relationships, and the ability to navigate destination logistics with confidence.
From waterfront ceremonies in Key Largo to intimate Islamorada celebrations, I understand the nuances that come with planning in this unique coastal setting — from weather patterns to transportation flow to coordinating vendors across islands.
That local insight allows me to anticipate challenges before they happen.

I guide you through every step — from concept to execution — with clarity, structure, and a calm, steady presence. But I also believe in having fun along the way. Planning your wedding should be exciting, not overwhelming.

Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

• A listening ear for your vision and priorities

• Thoughtful guidance tailored to your style and guest experience

• Expertise in destination wedding logistics, so nothing slips through the cracks

• A personal, approachable planner who’s there for you every step of the way

Think of me as your calm, trusted right-hand — someone who handles the details so you can savor every moment.

Our Philosophy

We intentionally accept a limited number of weddings per month so that every couple gets the personalized attention, creativity, and dedication they deserve.
Every timeline we create, every vendor we coordinate, every floral installation we plan — it’s all done with intention and care. Our goal is simple: to make your wedding day feel effortless, elevated, and completely yours.

What I discovered is this: most couples don’t just need design ideas.
They need direction, guidance, structure, and someone who knows how to take control when it matters most.

Who We Work With

I know the ins and outs of resort policies, vendor coordination, and timelines — so your celebration flows smoothly, from your first “I do” to the last dance.

Our couples are thoughtful, stylish, and intentional. They want:

• A wedding that feels uniquely theirs

• Seamless logistics and strong vendor management

• Elevated design without feeling over-the-top

• The freedom to enjoy the day without worrying about details

If that sounds like you, we’re the perfect fit.

What Matters Most

Your wedding day is not a production — it’s a milestone. My goal is for you to feel confident, supported, and fully present. I want you walking down the aisle knowing that every detail behind the scenes is handled.

That peace of mind is what I care about most.
