We pulled out all the stops when it came to transforming the Arias home into a Sweet Sixteen dream...⁠ ⁠ For the indoor space, what was previously a living area was turned into a chic backdrop, complete with a stunning balloon installation, lush florals, and the most beautiful cake. ⁠ ⁠ And this was just inside- what we did outside was even more amazing! ⁠ ⁠ Event Planning, Design & Production @alexakritisevents⁠ Catering @chefrosanarivera⁠ Bartending @nativecocktailevents⁠ Photo @ktcrabbphoto⁠ Video @voilacinematic⁠ Photo & Video @flowgenius⁠ Floral @bloom.shakalaka⁠ Balloons & Decor @sopoppinballoons @dreams2realitydesign @apoppinoccasion⁠ Lounge & Furniture Rentals @eventeffects @vivantrentals⁠ Draping, Staging, Lighting & Dance Floor Wraps @tampabaystagingandrentals @djcorybarron⁠ Rentals @fiestasolutions⁠ Tabletop Rentals @treasuryrentals ⁠ Marquee Letters @alphalitsarasota⁠ Linens @nuagedesignsinc⁠ Watercolor Artist @artby_ksusha⁠ Permanent jewelry @jaseljewelry⁠ Photo Booths @thefiesta360 @thegalaphotobooth⁠ Invitations & Monogram @ivoryandfine⁠ Magician @devontemagic⁠ Cake & Desserts @handsonsweets ⁠ Coffee Cart @cafealacartetampabay⁠ Cigar Roller @lgmcigars⁠ Casino Tables @realdealcasinoparties⁠ Talent Manager @howyoulevine⁠ Concert Production & Lighting @esiproductions @avlproductions⁠ Talent @miguel @iamdanileigh @elpurplelotus @sebastianreynoso @aboogievsartist @saintjhn @mobbdeephavoc @elalfajefe @elrubioacordeonoficial⁠ Client @bxmina_ @iampedroarias @alphapriority @ariannabellarias⁠ ⁠ #tampaeventplanner #sweetsixten #sweet16 #sweet16party #sweetsixteenparty #pinkbirthday #birthdayparty #tampapartyplanner #tampaeventdesigner #sweetsixteenideas

That moment when @miguel announces you at your Sweet Sixteen... ⁠ ⁠ (It’s that extra dance party between Arianna and her dad at the end for me though 😍)⁠ ⁠ I’m not sure if this can ever be topped. It’s certainly something that Arianna is going to remember forever... including the fact that there was basically an entire concert right in her backyard! ⁠ ⁠ Event Planning, Design & Production @alexakritisevents⁠ Catering @chefrosanarivera⁠ Bartending @nativecocktailevents⁠ Photo @ktcrabbphoto⁠ Video @voilacinematic⁠ Photo & Video @flowgenius⁠ Floral @bloom.shakalaka⁠ Balloons & Decor @sopoppinballoons @dreams2realitydesign @apoppinoccasion⁠ Lounge & Furniture Rentals @eventeffects @vivantrentals⁠ Draping, Staging, Lighting & Dance Floor Wraps @tampabaystagingandrentals @djcorybarron⁠ Rentals @fiestasolutions⁠ Tabletop Rentals @treasuryrentals ⁠ Marquee Letters @alphalitsarasota⁠ Linens @nuagedesignsinc⁠ Watercolor Artist @artby_ksusha⁠ Permanent jewelry @jaseljewelry⁠ Photo Booths @thefiesta360 @thegalaphotobooth⁠ Invitations & Monogram @ivoryandfine⁠ Magician @devontemagic⁠ Cake & Desserts @handsonsweets Coffee Cart @cafealacartetampabay⁠ Cigar Roller @lgmcigars⁠ Casino Tables @realdealcasinoparties⁠ Talent Manager @howyoulevine⁠ Concert Production & Lighting @esiproductions @avlproductions⁠ Talent @miguel @iamdanileigh @elpurplelotus @sebastianreynoso @aboogievsartist @saintjhn @mobbdeephavoc @elalfajefe @elrubioacordeonoficial⁠ Client @bxmina_ @iampedroarias @alphapriority @ariannabellarias ⁠ #tampaeventplanner #sweetsixten #sweet16 #sweet16party #sweetsixteenparty #pinkbirthday #birthdayparty #tampapartyplanner #tampaeventdesigner #sweetsixteenideas

From inspiration to reality... ⁠ ⁠ We shared a glimpse of these invitations a few days ago, but here’s a look at what the inspiration was for them! The invitations truly captured the magic of Holly’s childhood home, where her wedding day was taking place. ⁠ ⁠ With only two months to step in and take over the planning of this wedding, we could not be more thrilled with how it all turned out. ⁠ ⁠ Venue: Private Residence ⁠ Planning & Design: @alexakritisevents⁠ Photography: @theweberphotographers⁠ Videographer: @coastlinestudios⁠ Floral Design: @sweetwaterfloral⁠ DJ: @markbfresh ⁠ Stationery & Paper Goods: @chereeberrypaper⁠ Tent & Rentals: @eventtheorymi⁠ Tabletop: @treasuryrentals⁠ Rentals: @vivantrentals⁠ Catering: @boathousetcmi⁠ Bar Services: @tonicandlimemi⁠ Cake: @simplysweetbyjessica⁠ Trolley: @tcwineandbeertours⁠ Beauty: @d2andco⁠ Ceremony Musicians: @stringpoets⁠ Bride: @body_by_hollyyy⁠ Groom: @joebach35⁠ BTS Video: @juliousdaughters #destinationwedding #destinationweddingplanner #weddingdesign #tentwedding #weddinginvitations #weddinginspiration #michiganwedding

Weddings are meant to be FUN 🎉⁠ ⁠ And there was no shortage of partying it up and enjoying the day at Holly and Joe’s Michigan wedding! ⁠ ⁠ Their friends and family were clearly here for a good time and couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this pair’s beautiful love story. ⁠ ⁠ And being that this gorgeous couple had recently welcomed a baby boy, there was even more to celebrate! ⁠ ⁠ We’re sure these two will continue finding amazing things to raise a glass to throughout their life together. ⁠💙⁠ ⁠ Venue: Private Residence ⁠ Planning & Design: @alexakritisevents⁠ Photography: @theweberphotographers⁠ Videographer: @coastlinestudios⁠ Floral Design: @sweetwaterfloral⁠ DJ: @markbfresh ⁠ Stationery & Paper Goods: @chereeberrypaper⁠ Tent & Rentals: @eventtheorymi⁠ Tabletop: @treasuryrentals⁠ Rentals: @vivantrentals⁠ Catering: @boathousetcmi⁠ Bar Services: @tonicandlimemi⁠ Cake: @simplysweetbyjessica⁠ Trolley: @tcwineandbeertours⁠ Beauty: @d2andco⁠ Ceremony Musicians: @stringpoets⁠ Bride: @body_by_hollyyy⁠ Groom: @joebach35⁠ ⁠ #tampaweddingplanner #tampaweddingdesigner #flweddingplanner #weddingplannertampa #floridaweddingplanner #destinationwedding #destinationweddingplanner #michiganwedding #michiganweddingplanner

It may say “Alexa Kritis Events”, but when you hire me, you’re also hiring a ton of other seasoned professionals. ⁠ ⁠ I’m constantly amazed by my team members and colleagues and their willingness to create amazing events for our clients. ⁠ ⁠ We recently had to make some changes to events due to the effects of Hurricane Helene, and every single member of our vendor team made those changes without any hesitation. ⁠ ⁠ It was a reminder of why I’m such a stickler for making sure we’re able to work with my vetted team of professionals. Because when things are good, it’s good. But when things get bad, they STILL make sure it’s good. ⁠ ⁠ You just can’t put a price on that kind of professionalism and peace of mind. ⁠ ⁠ So to all of the amazing event professionals who I have the honor of working with, I love you and I am forever thankful for you. 💕 Photo: @justindemutiis #weddingplanner #tampaweddingplanner #tampawedding #floridaweddingplanner #flweddingplanner #tampaweddingdesigner #weddingplannertampa

With a reception space that offers panoramic views of the river at the Tampa River Center... details that highlight the natural beauty around you are a must! ⁠ ⁠ We did just that with both of these events, but each had gorgeously different results.⁠ ⁠ What color palette do river views inspire for you? ⁠ ⁠ Cover photo: @justindemutiis⁠ Planning: @alexakritisevents⁠ Venue: @cityoftampa⁠ Blue wedding- Catering: @goodfoodtampa⁠ Production: @tampabaystagingandevents⁠ Floral: @thefloralwayevents⁠ Linens: @nuagedesignsinc @bbjlatavola⁠ Rentals: @vivantrentals⁠ Tabletop & Decor: @treasuryrentals⁠ Draping: @swagdecor⁠ Cake: @handsonsweets⁠ Invitations & Day of Paper: @andimejiaco⁠ Green wedding- Catering: @goodfoodtampa Cake: @handsonsweets Floral: @bloom.shakalaka Rentals: @studiofestive @vivantrentals @nuagedesignsinc Draping: @swagdecor Table Top: @treasuryrentals Band: @elanartists Stage & Lighting: @tpctampa Invitations & Paper Goods: @hazelwoodpaperco #tampawedding #tampaweddingplanner #tampaweddingdesigner #flweddingplanner #weddingplannertampa #tampaweddingvenue #weddingtransformation #weddingdesign #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #draping #weddingideas #weddingdraping #venuetransformation #eventdraping #tamparivercenter #downtowntampa

Wedding days are a different kind of special when they’re taking place at the bride or groom’s childhood home, and that was exactly the case for Holly’s day. ⁠ ⁠ The same steps that she grew up playing on (or knowing her as the athlete she is, likely jumping up and down), and getting to have a First Look with some of her favorite people on those steps? ⁠ ⁠ That kind of meaning for this moment of a wedding day is never lost on me. And seeing these reactions from these women that love Holly so much? It makes me tear up all over again! ⁠ ⁠ Venue: Private Residence ⁠ Planning & Design: @alexakritisevents⁠ Photography: @theweberphotographers Videographer: @coastlinestudios⁠ Floral Design: @sweetwaterfloral⁠ DJ: @markbfresh ⁠ Stationery & Paper Goods: @chereeberrypaper⁠ Tent & Rentals: @eventtheorymi⁠ Tabletop: @treasuryrentals⁠ Rentals: @vivantrentals⁠ Catering: @boathousetcmi⁠ Bar Services: @tonicandlimemi⁠ Cake: @simplysweetbyjessica⁠ Trolley: @tcwineandbeertours⁠ Beauty: @d2andco⁠ Ceremony Musicians: @stringpoets⁠ Bride: @body_by_hollyyy⁠ Groom: @joebach35⁠ #tampaweddingplanner #tampaweddingdesigner #flweddingplanner #weddingplannertampa #michiganweddingplanner #bridesmaids #bridesmaidfirstlook #michiganwedding #athomewedding

When a former groom’s mom calls and asks you to step in last minute to save her daughter’s wedding... it’s a resounding “Say less” from me. ⁠ ⁠ And just look at how magical this Michigan wedding turned out 😍⁠ ⁠ Tented receptions are some of my favorite, but when they’re perfectly situated on a private lakeside property? Swoon! ⁠ ⁠ I’m thrilled at how we were able to bring all the final details together and step in to execute a dreamy wedding day for an absolutely lovely bride and groom. ⁠ ⁠⁠ Venue: Private Residence ⁠ Planning & Design: @alexakritisevents⁠ BTS Video: @armincreates Photography: @theweberphotographers⁠ Videographer: @coastlinestudios⁠ Floral Design: @sweetwaterfloral⁠ DJ: @markbfresh ⁠ Stationery & Paper Goods: @chereeberrypaper⁠ Tent & Rentals: @eventtheorymi⁠ Tabletop: @treasuryrentals⁠ Rentals: @vivantrentals⁠ Catering: @boathousetcmi⁠ Bar Services: @tonicandlimemi⁠ Cake: @simplysweetbyjessica⁠ Trolley: @tcwineandbeertours⁠ Beauty: @d2andco⁠ Ceremony Musicians: @stringpoets⁠ Bride: @body_by_hollyyy⁠ Groom: @joebach35⁠ ⁠ #michiganwedding #michiganweddingplanner #destinationwedding #destinationweddingplanner #tentwedding #tentedwedding #summerwedding #blueandwhitewedding #tampaweddingplanner #tampaweddingdesigner #flweddingplanner #weddingplannertampa #weddinginspiration #weddingdesign
