The Luxury of Being Nowhere but Here

"AN ABSOLUTE DREAM TO WORK WITH FROM START TO FINISH"

Leading up to the wedding, everyone asked me. "Do you feel prepared? How stressed out are you?". To be honest, I was hardly stressed about anything, thanks to Julia and her preparedness. She helped connect us with vendors we clicked easily with, who were on top of details, and asked all the right questions to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams!

Meet Your Team

We hope you feel at home here. 

With 14 years of experience planning weddings and a background in the luxury yachting industry, we’ve developed a rich, deeply layered understanding of hospitality. Inspired by the European gatherings our founder witnessed while abroad, we believe in effortless elegance, embracing the natural beauty of our world, and lingering in meaningful moments. 

For us, wedding planning is not simply organizing logistics and creating floor plans (though we’re great at that, too). We view weddings as sacred gathering spaces, an opportunity to invite people into a space that feels safe, warm, and welcoming. Bringing people together is the greatest honor we can have in this life.

Testimonials from our Clients

WE HIRED BLUE WATER WEDDINGS FOR OUR WEDDING PLANNING AND WOW, IT WAS THE BEST DECISION WE COULD HAVE EVER MADE. 

Julia Timmins is absolutely outstanding at her job and she and her team helped us create and host the wedding of our dreams. Every step of the way, Julia has made herself available and was incredibly accommodating, truly listening to the vision I was hoping to have and helping make that happen.

– Billie 

MY BIGGEST ASK OF LATRICE FROM OUR INITIAL PHONE CALL WAS THAT I DID NOT WANT MYSELF AND MY GROOM, AND OUR FAMILIES STRESSING ON THE BIG DAY. 

She fulfilled this and more! The day was so seamless and since the wedding, we've had so many guests and family come to us and say that this is the BEST wedding they have ever been to.

– Ashley D. 

BECKY ATHERTON IS AN ELITE WEDDING PLANNER.

Thank you Becky Atherton at Blue Water Weddings. I could not draw up a more suited wedding planner to plan my wedding in the Florida Keys. Becky Atherton is an elite wedding planner. She is helpful, has impeccable taste and is responsive.

– Mary

FROM START TO FINISH, THEY MADE THE ENTIRE PROCESS SEAMLESS AND STRESS-FREE

A combination you don’t typically associate with weddings! Anytime a potential stress point arose, Latrice had already handled it before we even knew it existed. Her professionalism was unmatched, but what truly set her apart was her warmth and approachability. It felt less like working with someone we hired and more like having a trusted friend by our side. Latrice brought so much ease and joy to this special day, creating a truly magical experience for our family. 

– Mayra B. 

PLANNING A WEDDING IS NO EASY TASK, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES A DESTINATION LOCATION AND UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER. 

Planning a destination wedding with Blue Water Weddings was a great experience. Their expertise turned what could have been a chaotic process into a seamless and enjoyable one. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner who is not only organized and efficient but also kind-hearted and understanding!

– Emily J

JULIA TRULY BROUGHT OUR VISION TO LIFE.

In addition to our wedding, she helped plan our rehearsal dinner and welcome party, which was insanely helpful. I am based in Washington, DC, so it was important for me to have someone local who knew the ins and outs. It was clear to us that Julia is well respected by her peers and fellow vendors in the Florida Keys community. On our wedding weekend, Julia and her team made sure everything went flawlessly, and I would not change a thing! 

– Brittany R

JULIA KEPT US ORGANIZED AND FOCUSED THROUGH THE PLANNING, TURNING WHAT I WAS EXPECTING TO BE A STRESSFUL TIME TO A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE

Sparking excitement and joy as we planned around our location and budget. She is well-connected in the region, had great suggestions for vendors, and worked closely with everyone we chose. The day of the wedding was timed and executed so perfectly, I actually got to ENJOY my own wedding; it was the best! 

– Billie

FROM THE FIRST TIME WE MET BECKY, IT WAS CLEAR THAT SHE HAD A PASSION FOR HER WORK AND AN IMPRESSIVE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. 

Our wedding was in the Keys and my wife had mapped her vision in extensive detail. And Becky went above and beyond to make sure every little part of her vision was brought life. We booked her for month of services, but she was always available to help. Whether it was to discuss vendors or give ideas, it never seemed to be a bother. She maintained such a positive attitude during the months leading up to the wedding and encouraged us to bring any new ideas to her.

– Will H.

ENJOYABLE AND STRESS-FREE

From the beginning, Latrice demonstrated exceptional professionalism and an uncanny ability to understand our vision. She truly went above and beyond in every aspect, ensuring that every detail was perfect and that our wedding day was nothing short of a dream come true. Her organizational skills and attention to detail meant that we didn't have to worry about a thing. Latrice's communication was outstanding, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way, while also taking the weight off our shoulders. Her dedication, creativity, and passion for her work shone through in every interaction, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.
