Connie + Panos Step Into The Limelight | Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church & Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort | Palm Harbor, FL

Connie and Pano met at the chanter’s stand at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Connie was organizing chanters to chant solo hymns for the Akathist service during Great Lent and was told to talk to Pano so he could sign up to chant. Pano signed up and then didn’t show up! Later that night, Connie found a video posted on Facebook of Pano chanting with her cousin at another church, so she sent him a message to give him a hard time. They secretly dated the first couple of months, all while everyone around them kept telling them they should be together. When people finally did find out they were dating that whole time they were all so shocked!

Pano told Connie they were going to go to dinner for his best friend’s birthday. While Connie was getting ready to go to dinner that evening, Pano and his parents were in her driveway setting up for the surprise of her life. When Connie and Pano walked out the front door, a path of lit candles led them out to the driveway. The driveway was full of red rose petals, candles, and balloons. Pano led Connie into a heart created with rose petals and candles to pop the question. 

Their elegant, classic wedding shimmered with ivory, gold and champagne accent colors and decor.   The priests and chanters were all related to the bride and groom and/or very close friends. Their Koumbaro (best man) is also a priest so he played both roles (so there was a special outfit change during the service). Homemade desserts were made by the grandmothers of the bride and groom.

Considering it is where they met and they share a deep faith together, the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church was the perfect ceremony site! Together, Connie and Panos enjoy taking walks and going to parks. Also, this traditional Greek wedding was very large - with 350 guests! So much fun and Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort is one of the few venues that can accommodate this large guest count so it was a perfect spot for the reception!

Lisa + Marco Step Into The Limelight | Don CeSar Hotel | St. Petersburg, FL

A couple of seasons ago, Lisa and Marco bonded over their love for black and gold.They fell in love and Marco proposed to Lisa at the halftime of a Steelers Game. She said “YES!” and the rest is history.

Because of COVID, this couple had to plan their wedding three times.You could say that three times is the charm because their wedding day was stunning! They were married on St. Pete Beach with the historic Don Cesar in the background and surrounded by loved ones.

This couple is SO SWEET.They love watching football, spending time with friends, traveling and trying new restaurants. If there is anything this couple love more than each other, it is their fur baby, Lily, who almost stole the show as the flower girl.

We loved being a part of this couple’s day! Congrats!
