Transforming Your Vision into Reality
Events by Marykate is a wedding planner in Tampa that offers personalized packages from full service to day of coordination executed to perfection. Why us? Your story is unique, and your wedding should reflect that. ​
As your dedicated and detail-oriented planner we bring a creative and personalized approach to every step of your wedding journey. From one-on-one guidance that feels like chatting with a friend, to expertly navigating vendor pricing and budgeting, every detail is tailored to your vision. 💖
Let’s create something extraordinary together.
Why We're Different
One-On-One Planning
With such an important moment in your life, why would you settle for anything less than working directly with the same lead planner throughout the entire process - one who actually responds to all your questions AND knows the industry? Plus the process should be FUN, and we help make it that way with surprises along the way.
Custom Design
Need help with table signage? Fell in love with that mirror seating chart you saw on Instagram? Don't hold back, we LOVE helping couples create custom details that create a cohesive aesethic without spending hundreds of dollars on Etsy.
Budgeting
While Pinterest provides great inspiration, we don't all have unlimited wedding budgets. What sets us apart? It's our ability to transform budgeting into an empowering experience, helping you understand vendor pricing and unlock secrets to save without compromising on your vision.

Meet Marykate
You're not just selecting a wedding planner - you're choosing your right hand. Your wedding day director. Your logistics mastermind. Someone you trust implicitly.
​
Enter your new best friend - your wedding planner. Hi, I'm Marykate and as a wedding planner in Tampa with over a decade of event experience, I've dedicated my time to guiding couples throughout the planning process minus the numerous headaches. I already know what you're thinking - but do I really need a planner? Or maybe it's, my venue alraedy includes a coordinator.
Here's the reality. Your wedding is an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Why are you leaving the most critical job of ensuring every detail is orchestrated perfectly to a random person you don't get to choose or winging it yourself? My own wedding planning experience left me feeling frustrated (the lack of attention to detail was astounding) and it inspired me to take the leap full time to be the wedding planner for you that I didn't have.
Someone who pays attention to the details, no matter how small. Someone who ensures you can live in the moment stress-free because it goes by in a blink. Someone to actually care about your wedding as much as you do. Not someone who's treating your wedding as just one of the hundreds they look at a year. As your wedding planner, I'm here to serve you and I'm so honored to have helped countless couples transform their visions into reality. I'm here to help you stay organized, stay on budget, and truly take in this incredible experience. I can't wait to meet you!
