Events is a wedding planning and production studio based in Miami. We plan weddings across Miami, Miami Beach and South Florida, and at select destinations worldwide, through three collections: The Curated Experience (full-service planning), The Essential Collection (partial planning) and The Homestretch (the final 12 weeks plus day-of coordination). Every collection is a flat package price with a clear scope, and every wedding starts with a complimentary consultation. ### What does a Miami wedding planner do? - **Creative direction & design:** a complete visual concept, from palette and florals to lighting and tablescapes. - **Venue scouting & selection:** a shortlist that fits your guest count, style and budget, then management of the venue's rules, timings and logistics. - **Vendor team curation:** photographers, caterers, florists, entertainment and rentals coordinated as one team. - **Budget & timeline management:** a working budget and production timeline from booking to the last dance. - **Guest experience & logistics:** hotel blocks, shuttles, valet guidance and guest communications, key in South Beach and Brickell. - **Day-of direction:** our team runs the rehearsal and the full day on-site. ### What we plan for in Miami - Heat, humidity and pop-up showers: covered or indoor backups and weather-trigger timelines. - Hurricane season: a written weather plan aligned to venue and vendor contracts and local advisories. - Beach and park permits: handled or guided, including delivery windows and site rules. - Venue bar and catering rules: in-house licensed bars, outside caterer COIs and fees. - Bilingual and multicultural weddings: Spanish/English planning, bilingual MCs, hora loca, cigar roller, cafecito bar. ### How much does a wedding planner cost in Miami? It depends on how much planning you hand over. Our collections are flat package prices with a clear scope: full-service planning (The Curated Experience) covers the most, partial planning (The Essential Collection) sits in the middle, and The Homestretch is our entry package. Guest count, the number of events in the wedding weekend and logistics shape the quote; add-ons (design enhancements, RSVP website, hotel blocks, after-party, brunch) are priced separately. We share a tailored proposal after a complimentary consultation. ### Which collection fits which couple? - **The Curated Experience** (full-service planning): couples who want us to lead everything, from the venue search to the last dance. On-site: the full celebration weekend. - **The Essential Collection** (partial planning): couples who have booked their venue and want expert direction on design, vendors and the timeline. On-site: 10 hours on the wedding day. - **The Homestretch** (final 12 weeks + day-of): couples who have planned their wedding and want professionals to finalize every detail and run the day. On-site: 10 hours on the wedding day. ### Will you help us find our wedding venue? Yes, as part of The Curated Experience: venue scouting and selection is included in full-service planning. The Essential Collection and The Homestretch are designed for couples who have already secured their venue. ### Can you plan our whole wedding weekend? Yes.

Yes — Spanish/English planning; bilingual MCs; cultural elements like hora loca, cigar roller, cafecito bar, tea ceremonies. ### Outdoor vs. indoor in Miami — what should we plan for? Plan for heat/humidity, pop-up showers, and sound rules; we create covered backups and weather-trigger timelines. ### Hurricane season contingencies? Yes. We create written weather contingency plans aligned to all venue and vendor contracts, local storm advisories, and emergency protocols.

We handle the permit applications directly or walk you step by step through the process so nothing is missed. ### Bar & catering — any restrictions? Many venues require licensed in-house bar; outside catering often allowed with COI/fees — we manage compliance. ### Do we need both a videographer and a content creator? Different outputs: cinematic film vs. same-day social verticals. We coordinate both teams effectively. ### Guest logistics (valet, shuttles, hotels)? We plan transport, valet guidance, hotel blocks, and guest communications for areas like South Beach and Brickell. ### What should we discuss on a discovery call? Discuss vision, guest count, date flexibility, budget priorities, bilingual needs, venue status, media plan, logistics, and decision timeline. --- ## Blog: 2026 Miami Wedding Insights *By Tahimy Don · Published: September 13, 2025 · Last updated: March 2026* Planning a Miami wedding in 2026? The landscape has shifted — booking windows are tighter, entertainment expectations are higher, and more couples are discovering that the real budget surprises come from catering, rentals, and A/V. ### The Foundation: Your "Big Three" Vendors The three categories that book earliest, carry the highest combined spend, and shape everything else about your event: **Venue** locks in the framework for everything else. Prime Saturdays fill 12–18 months out. Once you have the venue, your date is set and every other decision has a fixed canvas. **Catering & Rentals** is often the largest combined line item on the budget. Tables, chairs, linens, and tableware frequently come bundled with the catering package or through the venue's exclusive partner. **A/V & Entertainment** — DJ, sound, lighting, and/or live band — is what drives the energy of the night. It's increasingly in demand and should be booked in the first wave, not treated as a finishing touch. Photo and video are essential — lock them in right alongside or immediately after the big three. According to WeddingPro's Real Wedding Study, the average couple hires 13 vendors and spends 14 months planning — with 52% underestimating their budget going in. ### The Smart Money Move: Consider Off-Peak Days Miami Saturdays disappear quickly, but Fridays, Sundays, and select weekdays often unlock better availability and more creative vendor options. Many vendors offer more flexibility and attention when they're not juggling multiple Saturday events. ### Your Biggest Budget Lever Your guest count is your most powerful budget tool. Per-guest costs — food, bar, rentals, staffing — scale quickly. Sometimes trimming 20 guests can free up budget for that band you love or the floral installation that makes your heart skip. 52% of couples initially underestimate their budget. The guest count is almost always the reason. ### The New Coverage Standard Content creator + videographer is now the norm for Miami couples who want both the cinematic keepsake and the same-day social content. Lock these in early. The key is a coordinated shot list so your coverage teams work together, not against each other. ### Make It Yours: Personalization Over Packages Cultural and local flair — hora loca, cigar roller, cafecito bar, Latin band/DJ blends — create the moments your guests remember. 69% of couples in 2026 name guest experience as their #1 priority. ### Miami Weather Reality Check Miami weather means planning A and plan A-backup. Heat, humidity, and those famous pop-up showers are part of our charm. Smart planning includes covered alternatives, hydration stations, strategic fans, and weather-trigger decision points built right into your timeline. ### Hurricane Season: Not a Deal-Breaker Hurricane season doesn't mean canceling your Miami wedding dreams. It just means having clear reschedule terms and vendor communication plans. We align all your contracts to local weather advisories. ### The Miami Logistics Factor South Beach and Brickell traffic plus limited parking can create arrival bottlenecks. Smart couples plan for shuttles, provide valet guidance, and send clear guest communications about timing and transportation options. ### Those Iconic Backdrop Permits Those iconic Miami backdrops often require permits, have specific delivery windows, and sound restrictions. We handle the paperwork or guide you through it step-by-step. ### Sustainability Made Simple Rental-first design, foam-free florals, local sourcing, and post-event donation plans are all completely doable and often more beautiful than traditional approaches. --- ## Blog: The Glass Venue Miami: 2026 Prices, Packages & Photos *By Tahimy Don · Published: October 15, 2025 · Last updated: March 2026* The Glass Venue is a modern, production-ready wedding venue built on five private acres in Miami's Horse Country neighborhood, twenty minutes from Miami International Airport. ### The Setting Floor-to-ceiling impact glass wraps the reception building.
