Tampa Wedding Officiant





MADE FOR EACH OTHER WEDDINGS

Katherine A. DeMarco, Wedding Officiant, Owner

Weddings, celebrations and Katherine DeMarco were Made for Each Other”.

Having been in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, I started out as a Catering and Event Manager in restaurants, then wedding planner/coordinator for hotels and resorts and enjoyed this for many years.

I assisted hundreds of couples as they planned their big day. They worked so hard to have everything beautiful and perfect, but the real celebration of getting married, the ceremony, was sometimes left until last.

I’ve been to weddings where couples stand before their family and friends, listening to a minister talk at them. The minister makes them repeat their words. The couple kiss and off they go to a party. I felt sad that they did not have a ceremony that reflected their personalities, beliefs, and their relationship; the public declaration of their love and their commitment to each other.

I knew what I wanted to do. I was meant to work with couples to create their ceremony; talk about their love, commitment, and their married life together.

We were “Made for Each Other”!!!! I found my true calling.

After the urging of a friend, an ordained minister, I too was able to become ordained eight years ago. I am a non-denominational minister; I perform all types of ceremonies.

I consider myself a celebrant of life! I specialize in weddings, commitment ceremonies, vow renewals as well as house blessings, and baby christenings and memorial services. Every important event in a person’s life is meant to be celebrated and a wedding is my favorite! I love Weddings! – We were “Made for Each Other”

When I create a custom ceremony for a couple I tailor the ceremony’s message about them. . What is meaningful and important. It will speak of your love and commitment to each other. Include your beliefs, your personalities, how you met, people and places that are important to you; your plans for the future. I have wonderful readings, prayers and rituals that can be include in the ceremony.

Call, check for availability schedule a consultation,. I’d love to talk to you and hear about your plans. I will send you a questionnaire to fill out prior. I’ll use it as a tool to present materials that are relevant to the vision of your ceremony.

My fees vary depending on ceremony, date, location, rehearsal and travel, but a thoughtful custom-designed ceremony is guaranteed.

I am proud to be a 2009 and 2010 recipient of the

Brides Choice Awards www.weddingwire.com.

Tampa Wedding Planners


Flawless Occasions opened in 2007 under the ownership of Beth Carrick.
After years of planning events for a non-profit organization in Orlando,
Beth relocated to Tampa and expanded her reportoire to planning weddings
as well as events.
Word of mouth caused Flawless Occasions to take off, so Beth brought on
Shawna Berger to become an assistant and planner. Shawna's experience
came mainly from being a member of the opening team and bridal consultant
at the Alfred Angelo Bridal Company Store in Tampa. The most recent
addition to the Flawless team is Christina Garatina who brings not only
planning skills but craftiness as well, as Christina is talented at
creating decor and personalized embroidery.
The Flawless Occasions ladies pride themselves on the level of service
they provide to each client. They make every client feel as though their
event is their top priority, because it is! Many clients end up becoming
close friends because of the relationship they build with their Flawless
Occasions coordinator during the planning process. Their goal is to take
the stress off of the hosts and make them feel as though they have a
friend working behind the scenes to make sure every detail goes smoothly.
There is no event too large or too small for Flawless Occasions. A
black-tie wedding with 200 guests is treated with just as much care as a
destination wedding for 15 guests. Flawless Occasions believes a wedding
planner
is important for events of all sizes and they love the experiences
gained from the variety of styles in the events they plan. All of their
planning packages are customized to the needs of the clients, whether it's
full planning for a bride who lives out of town, or just say of
coordination for someone who has planned all the details themselves but
wants to sit back and relax on their big day.
As they are nearing their fourth year of being in business, Flawless
Occasions has established themselves as among one of the top wedding
planners
in the area. They have created close relationships with other
area vendors and venues. They have also been honored to receive several
awards voted on by the most important people - their clients. In
2009 and 2010, Flawless Occasions won the Bride's Choice Award from
WeddingWire.com, and in 2010 they also won The Best of the Knot Award from
The Knot Magazine. 2010 was also an exciting year because it marked the
grand opening of the Flawless Occasions office in South Tampa at the Apple
Blossoms
Wedding Center.
At Flawless Occasions, an initial consultation is always free and they
would love to meet with you about your wedding or event planning needs.
