Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Our pricing is designed to be upfront, inclusive, and flexible. We offer tiered wedding packages for elopements and intimate gatherings (typically up to 100 guests), with options to add or customize services based on your needs. There are no hidden fees—what you see is what you get. We also occasionally offer discounted rates for weekday ceremonies or last-minute bookings. Just ask—we’ll always work to create a package that respects your vision and budget.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We begin with a friendly and transparent conversation to understand your vision, priorities, and any unique needs for your special day. From there, we walk you through our available packages or build something custom to fit your style and budget. Once you’re ready, we take care of every detail—from location setup and vendor coordination to ceremony flow and décor—so you can focus on soaking in every moment. We’re hands-on, accessible, and here to make your wedding day stress-free and beautiful.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Thomas, the founder and heart behind SunnySide Weddings, brings over 7 years of experience in the wedding industry. With a strong background in business management and logistics, he has successfully planned, managed, and executed more than 330 beach weddings across the Gulf Coast—from Panama City to Pensacola Beach. His expertise ensures every event runs seamlessly, while his passion lies in creating meaningful, unforgettable experiences for each couple

How did you get started doing this type of work?

SunnySide Weddings was born from both love and loss. Our founder, Thomas, was first introduced to the world of beach weddings by his best friend Carl, who invited him to join a wedding company in Destin. Thomas quickly fell in love with the joy of creating unforgettable wedding experiences for couples. After Carl’s unexpected passing, Thomas felt called to honor his friend’s memory by starting his own company. With creative vision and aesthetic direction from his partner, Molly, the two brought SunnySide Weddings to life—combining heart, intention, and beauty in every ceremony we create.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We’ve had the joy of working with a wide variety of couples—from eloping lovebirds and last-minute planners to destination dreamers and military families stationed along the Gulf Coast. Some of our clients are local, while many travel from out of state (or even out of the country!) to say “I do” in Florida’s natural beauty. We specialize in intimate, LAID BACK, meaningful ceremonies—often for couples seeking an stress-free, affordable, and beautiful alternative to traditional weddings. Whether it’s a barefoot beach elopement, a forest ceremony with a few close guests, or a simple vow renewal, we’re honored to bring each couple’s unique love story to life.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

When a soon-to-be bride shared in an online group that she had been scammed by a wedding company just two weeks before her ceremony, our hearts went out to her. Traveling from Georgia and devastated at the thought of not getting married, she was searching for hope. We reached out and offered to host her ceremony completely free of charge—including all upgrades—because we believe every couple deserves their dream day. She accepted, and we had the honor of turning her wedding day into the beautiful celebration she imagined.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Our advice? Take the time to shop around and speak with each company you’re considering. This is your big day, and every detail should reflect you and your partner. It’s not just about the services offered—it’s about finding someone you genuinely connect with and trust to bring your vision to life. The connection and energy you feel with your wedding team is just as important as their experience. Choose the one that feels right in your heart—you deserve that peace of mind.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

We recommend couples consider the following before reaching out: • What kind of location do you envision—beach, forest, private home, etc.? • How many guests are you planning for? • What’s your ideal budget range? • Do you want an all-inclusive experience, or do you already have some vendors in place? • Are there any must-haves (like photography, arches, florals, or reception space)? Knowing your priorities helps us tailor a perfect plan that fits your day and your dreams.
