“DJ Dave did our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music last weekend. We also had lighting services from the company. Leading up to the wedding, everyone was so easy to work with and helpful in answering all our questions. The day of, we had an absolute blast. We had a lot of family members from all over the world and they asked about those roots ahead of time so Dave did such an awesome job blending music that everyone would enjoy. The dance floor was full all night!” -Kirstyn Thomas- wdg date 03.23.24 at Tampa Bay Watch

“Joe (photographer) and Dave (videographer) did my wedding June 2023 and they did an excellent job! They were easy to work with, friendly and professional. They provided 7 hours of service and were there for pre-wedding photos all the way to the sparkler exit. Joe scoped out the venue upon arrival and found a beautiful spot to take couples photos outside. Dave’s highlight video is professional and well put together. I love having this memory to share easily with family and friends. Plus, I have the long version of the entire event he even put to music. Joe’s photos turned out beautifully. I am super happy with their work and I highly recommend!” – Lacey Patino-Gregorio wdg at BayLife Church in Brandon, FL

“Celebrations of Tampa Bay made our beach wedding all the more memorable and special. From the stunning aerial drone shots to some of the most lovely/personal moments from our special day captured by our incredible videographer, we were beyond thrilled with the videography from our wedding. We were even more excited when we received the email notifying us that our condensed/highlight wedding video was available (less than a month after our ceremony!). The highlight wedding video was wonderfully put together, and brought tears to our eyes. And we can’t forget our awesome DJ, who kept the energy up and the party going throughout the night. Our only regret was not using Celebrations of Tampa Bay for our photographer as well. We cannot recommend this vendor enough!” -Melissa Siew-Pavlow, Wdg 10.23.21 at Cay Pointe Villa, Indian Rocks Beach

“When I first talked to Joe on the phone, he was determined to give me what I wanted and when he arrived he did just that. He gave me all the shots I could ask for and he did an amazing job getting them to me right away. He was the best photographer I ever worked with. He was very professional and nice and he made me one happy bride. I would definitely use Joe as a photographer again. Everyone one loves the pictures he took.

“My planner, Susan, recommended Celebrations of Tampa Bay and I’m so happy with their services. We used their zoom capabilities with Dave, videographer Randy, and Joe as our photographer. They were all professional, attentive, timely and clear communicators. I loved their artistic style and cannot wait to see the final pics and videos! They even stayed a little longer past the time we hired them for just to make sure they caught everything we wanted.

Our wedding plans changed several times before and during COVID and they were extremely accommodating and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Dave was our videographer and he went out of his way to make us feel safe and comfortable, which we greatly appreciated! The highlight/teaser video and documentary video far exceeded our expectations and we’re so happy we found them! Highly recommend Celebrations of Tampa Bay to anyone in Florida looking for a wedding videographer. ” -Molly Nurcyzk-DiDonato wdg at The Bayou Club 06.25.20

Very pleased with our photographer/videographer/DJ combo! Our pictures were perfect (Joe), the video priceless (Bernie) and the DJ (Dave) did everything perfectly! Very happy with the ease of having all 3 vendors with the same company! We completed the worksheets and they were all executed perfectly by the team. We didn’t have any idea what photos we wanted, but Joe directed us perfectly and we have some amazing photos to cherish for the rest of our lives.

“There are no words to truly describe how much Celebrations of Tampa Bay helped take care of the organization and planning leading up to our wedding (purchased the Deluxe All Inclusive Wedding Package), but went ABOVE & BEYOND to also capture ALL of the magic shared by our loved ones and friends on our special day. Celebrations of Tampa Bay is and will always be the BEST decision we ever made for our wedding day… such a kind and wonderful experience to work with them. We cannot thank DJ Dave, Joe the Photographer, Stephanie with Coordination, and Randy our Videographer (and Owner) for making our December 28th, 2019 Wedding in Clearwater so special, and for turning all the special moments of our wedding into forever memories (absolutely stunning photos and Blue-Ray DVDs). HIGHLY RECOMMEND Celebrations of Tampa Bay to all in the Tampa Bay Area and we look forward to using Celebrations of Tampa Bay in the future again for family and friends!” -Ana Justine Yousefi Cohen wdg at Kapok Special Events Center.

“We hired Celebrations of Tampa Bay for our photographer (Jamie), videographer (Randy), and DJ (Dave) for our February 23, 2019 wedding at IMG Acedemy in Bradenton, FL. They were absolutely PERFECT and were made our day so special!!
They made booking them very easy and were great at helping us figure out what we wanted. Leading up to the wedding, and during the wedding itself, they worked SO well with our wedding planner and venue in accommodating our day of schedule and helping things go smoothly. They meshed well with our guests and had fun with all of us, ultimately making it so fun and with great photos/videos to look back on.
Our photographer, Jamie, was wonderful for both the 90 min Engagement Session and Wedding Day! Very open to suggestions, but did a great job of directing the day to make sure everything went smoothly. He also got our photos back to us about a month after (a couple weeks before we expected!)
Our videographer, Randy, was so great! He and Jaime worked really well together to make sure they both got the shots they wanted without getting in each other’s way. Our preview video was perfect
(and posted just a couple days after our wedding!) and we will cherish the long form video for the rest of our lives. Now, a year later, we love looking back at both our preview video and long form video to relive our special day!
Our DJ, Dave, was fantastic. He came prepared with a great playlist that got our guests up and dancing. Plus we brought a bunch of light up/blow up props for the guests to use, and he passed stuff out perfectly in waves so it wasn’t just chaos as guests got what they wanted.
Overall, I am SOOOO happy we hired Celebrations for our wedding day. They truly made our day so special, and we couldn’t be more grateful.” – Tess Puhak Wdg 02.23.19 at IMG Academy

“I will be the first to admit that I almost did not hire a videographer. It was definately not in my budget, but I am so grateful that we hired Celebrations of Tampa Bay. Having the video, memories of our wedding day is something I will cherish forever. Every moment was perfectly captured and we are so happy with our video. I highly recommend any bride to be debating on whether or not to hire a videographer, to do it! Those memories can never be recreated and having it on film is beautiful.” – Krystan Chmelovski wdg at Hilton Clearwater Beach

“Seriously the best thing we did was hire Randy to be our videographer. Randy was spot on with everything. Very professional and captured the best moments of our wedding. Randy took his time to capture the perfect shot for us and our party. Randy came on time and even from the kindness of his heart stayed a tab bit more to get some dancing footage. Literally less then two day Randy sent us some wedding pictures he took of us. We got married a month ago and already have our highlight video and our long version video. (Came within 2-3 weeks) Our Blu Ray DVD came very nice packaged with our wedding picture all over the cover. Once it was done it was in the mail the next day! We love Celebrations of Tampa Bay and would recommend them to everyone! We only had them as our videographer but I wished I used all their services.” -Karla Vaello (Wdg at Crystal Ballroom Tampa 11.15.18)

The DJ was great too and didn’t mind that it was a super small reception, he played music we all loved and kept the room full of vibrant energy. Highly recommend Dave and Joe for photography and video, they worked very well together and captured every important moment from getting ready and throughout the ceremony and reception.

“We had randy with us and let me tell you, he is absolutely amazing! First off, you can tell he is doing what he loves. His passion definitely shines through and his work is amazing. There were details we asked him to capture with my mother being ill and he was sensitive and genuine to our requests. He was there for every important moment and worked beautifully between each segment of the day. His drone work was beautiful – I cannot believe the bay shots he got and the overhead views of our wedding was so breathtaking and a shot that would otherwise not have been viewed without randy. Overall, I cannot say enough good things. If your looking for a videographer – go with this company. They are worth every penny to view and relive one of the most important days of your life. Thank you so much randy and Celebrations!” –Amber Rentz (bride) wdg 03.01.19 at Hilton Clearwater Beach

He captured their special day perfectly and did the exact same thing with mine. He did the best job running around making sure he got all the shots and captured everything. I loved the drone footage and that everything was played back on the dj booths tv during the reception. The guests loved being able to see themselves and the bridal party. And then less than 24 hours after the reception he had already created a 3 minute preview video for us! I can’t wait for the highlight video and the rest of the footage.

“After searching through so many photography, videography, and DJ vendors, I felt lucky to have found Celebrations. My main criteria while searching was fair prices and great reviews. Celebrations had both and I can see why they have such great reviews. They have a team of people that are super easy to work with. Most of my communication was with Stephanie and Randy and both of them were so great and very quick with their responses. So far I’ve received the first set of photos and the highlight video and I’m very happy with them so far. I feel like they team really exceeded my expectations in so many ways.

“WOW! WOW! WOW! What an incredible company! From start to finish Randy was on point! He went above an beyond our wildest dreams! Everyone that sees the highlight video feels like they were actually there. Randy uses so many angles and perspectives to capture each shot. Randy worked so hard to make sure he got only the best shots. He shot from above on a ladder and even laying on the floor to get the perfect angle! AND the drones – INCREDIBLE SHOTS!! My friend had a drone at her wedding but she didn’t get the shots we did, celebrations has the equipment and they really know how to use it effectively! A wedding is amazing but it only lasts so long, having a video like the one Celebrations of Tampa puts together, you can enjoy it like you are there and relive the moment forever. Randy was also amazing with our photographers they worked together so well you would think they knew each other;) Thank you so much Celebrations of Tampa!!

“From start to finish, the entire Celebrations of Tampa Bay team was a pleasure to work with! As soon as I messaged them on Wedding Wire, Randy replied right away to answer questions and set us up with Office Manager Stephanie to work out the details. We worked with Jamie and Marcel for photography and Dave for videography. Everyone arrived on time, motivated and passionate on the day of the wedding. Jamie captured all our requested photos – he even brought a printout that I sent him prior to the wedding to make sure we got all the shots. He has such an artistic eye and suggested photos we never thought of, which have turned out to be some of our favorites. Jamie and Dave worked so in sync, and they both made us comfortable posing while they captured the magic. Marcel did an amazing job capturing the groom and groomsmen getting ready, mixing it up with fun and serious poses. The final photos and videos are absolutely breathtaking, and we have cried on multiple occasions while watching the full video. They captured every single precious moment, which is so important because it’s easy to miss things on such a busy day. We will recommend Celebrations of TB to anyone and everyone who needs a quality photo/video package that won’t break the bank!” -Rachael Sena wdg 11.18.17 at Tradewinds Grand Island Resort, St Pete Beach

“Celebrations of Tampa Bay was the first vendor we booked this summer for our wedding that is not until December 2019. That includes Photographer, Videographer, and DJ. I had ton of questions regarding what service packages to choose from, since our wedding will be a long. After talking to Randy and his very prompt responses, he made some changes to the package that we have chosen which we really appreciate him for doing that. The package is just perfect for us and the pricing you couldn’t beat for what we getting. After that I knew I didn’t want to wait any longer or look any further. This past weekend we had our Engagement session and we were so stressed out, since we never had a professional photographer taking pictures of us. Joe was our photographer, he was just wonderful not even 10 min into the session we were so relaxed and felt really comfortable. He is extremely professional, funny, and has an amazing eye. He went far above and beyond to capture the perfect pictures, he showed us some of them on his camera, and we loved them! We can’t wait to see all of them. I couldn’t wait and had to ask Joe if he will also be our photographer for the wedding, and he will be!! This made us so happy since, he made us feel so comfortable during the session.

We had a fantastic experience with the team at Celebrations! They were very professional and very attentive to detail to ensure that every picture was perfect. We had one photographer with the Groom party while getting ready and 2 with the bridal party getting ready. We then had all three for the ceremony and pictures afterwards. The team were very happy to take as many great pictures as they could and to make use of the fantastic backdrop that we had at the Don CeSar hotel. We also used Celebrations for the videography which included drone footage. Everybody at the wedding enjoyed the drone and the footage that we have received back is truly spectacular. The team stayed throughout the night and continued snapping away during our reception which went on late into the night. We had excellent communication with Celebrations throughout the whole process (which was very important as we flew from England for our wedding) and I would highly recommend their services. – Katie O’Donoghue, wedding May 23rd at The Don CeSar

Our daughter’s wedding was this past weekend and Celebrations was one of the first vendors we booked for photography, videography and the DJ. From the moment we contracted with them, everyone was responsive and helpful with our somewhat unique situation, the bride and groom and most of the guests are hearing impaired. This makes for a challenging situation regarding communication and instruction from the photographer. And for the DJ playing music and keeping the party going with guests who can’t hear it. Stephanie did an awesome working with us to make this an amazing event. Randy was outstanding as the coordinator and managed the video and drone shots, as well. We can’t wait to see what he does putting all of it together in a video for us. Joe, our photographer was amazing. He did not stop for 6.5 hours to capture every moment on film and clearly was an experienced professional, even faced with a challenging assignment. Chance, our DJ was the best! he managed to keep the party going, even with the guests spread over three adjoining areas and many of them hearing impaired. Thank you to Stephanie, Randy, Joe ad Chance for making this the perfect day we envisioned. You are the best! -Diane Ronghi, wedding May 20th at Hyatt Regency Clearwater

“Celebrations of Tampa was a pleasant surprise to work with at my daughters destination wedding held at Shepard’s in Clearwater Fl. They were on time and very accommodating! High energy photographers with great attitudes extremely flexible ready and willing for anything! The pic and videos turned out amazing including sunset pics! As good as everything turn out the most amazing part was the quick turn around time after the wedding. My guess is they can’t always do this but in our case we had video and pics within one week of the wedding! Very impressive!! If there was a stumbling block for me personally it was paying for their services in full before the wedding but they did as they said and all turned out wonderful. They are also priced very fairly in the industry. You could easily spend thousands more and not get anything any better. I’d highly recommend them to anyone! -Ken Stout (father of bride) wedding May 6th at Shephard’s Beach Resort.

“Short and simple: Celebrations of Tampa Bay is great. I recommend them to anyone who is in need of a photographer, videographer, and/or DJ. Stephanie, the office manager, was so helpful. Randy was also helpful with my million questions before booking. Jaime our photographer was AMAZING!! He went over and above during our engagement shoot and wedding. Randy was also amazing as our videographer. He captured special moments that will we get to watch throughout the years (as did Jaime!). Chance was our DJ, and get got and kept the dancing going. Although, he mispronounced my name after practicing several times (minor hiccup) and left out the introduction of the grooms’ parents and a bridesmaid/groomsman. Overall, the photography and videography services were wonderful, and even with the name issue, I would still recommend them.” -Carola Appugliese wedding 03.10.17 at St Pete Women’s Club

“Absolutely amazing video and photos for a reasonable price. They are so easy to work with and are real professionals. Their drone and video service took our breath away. They captured every moment of our wedding so beautifully. Thier commitment, to you, to their art, and to capture the perfect shot is evident from the moment you reach out to them, on the big day, and after. Randy was a pleasure to work with. Joe, one of thier photographers, had an amazing eye and captured photos that looked like they were out of a magazine. My wife and I could not be happier with the outcome. Thank you so much Celebrations of Tampa Bay!”

“We are so glad that we booked Celebrations! We can’t say enough good things about Jamie, the photographer. He took fantastic engagement shots, and really helped to put us at ease. During the actual wedding, he seemed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive! The guests had so many complementary things to say about how great he was, and how many photos he seemed to take! Stephanie, their coordinator, was always really helpful. She was so prompt about answering questions and clarifying anything we needed! Chancey, the DJ, was also excellent! He did a great job at reading the crowd, and managed to keep people on the dance floor the entire night! He was also really accommodating when I asked him to do a birthday shout-out to one of our guests, and with song requests. If you’re considering booking Celebrations, definitely do!!” -Cubby Swift, wdg 03.03.17 at The Sandbar, Anna Maria Island.

“I don’t even know where to start. Since the moment I called to book them I have had nothing but a great experience. The photographer, videographer, and dj were all very friendly and fit right in at the wedding. They were very accomadating to our wishes. I’m very happy with the quality and personalized touch of every photo. They are very reasonably priced and worth every penny. Thank you guys so much for capturing our special day.” -Katy Dupree-Alexander, wdg 12.03.16 at La Casa of Mason Creek, Homosassa, FL
“I am so glad we decided to add Celebrations of Tampa Bay as our videographer! Dave was fantastic! I was a little nervous about being filmed but I barely noticed he was there. The video is priceless and SO worth every penny! It captures so much that you don’t get to see because the day goes by SO fast! It should be a must! So great to see the beginning of the ceremony that brides miss. Stephanie, Randy and Dave were great to work with. Highly recommend them!” -Stephanie Dolan-Shipman, wdg 10.08.16 at Pier 22 in Bradenton.

“We used Celebrations of Tampa Bay for our DJ, Videography and Photography package. Loved that the group was coordinated. Stephanie in the office is very responsive to questions. DJ chance had just the right music for our celebration and kept everything moving all night so that everyone had a fabulous time! Videographer Randy and photographers Eric and Don captured everything just the way we imagined and the sunset pictures were awesome. Everyone arrived on time and was very professional. This package was a terrific value – the highlight video with drone footage was available quickly and the final cinematic video has allowed us to share the wedding memories with those who couldn’t be there. The photographers and videographers made us feel so special – just capturing our day without being intrusive! Would highly recommend – stop looking and book this group! Be sure to read all of the advice on their website – it is priceless!” -Kara & Dan Rohdenburg wdg 10.08.16 at The Resort at Little Harbor

“Randy and Joe were really terrific! I cannot recommend their work highly enough, they did beautiful work, and for a great price. You can see our trailer for our wedding video on their youtube, https://youtu.be/4cr04JZ8NlI, and our photos are just beautiful. We’ve received tons of compliments on the work they did…. they were wonderful, unobtrusive but friendly, and completely professional. AND they got us our video and photos really quickly… some photos and the trailer were linked to us within DAYS, and they mailed us our hard copies within about 2 months. Cannot stress enough how great a job they did. Thank you so much, gentlemen! :)”-Kristina Huegel wdg 09.20.16 at Nova 535

Where do I begin?! I am not one to write reviews, but I felt compelled to write one for this company because of the amazing quality of their work. They truly have a passion for what they do and it SHOWS. I am shocked at the passion and professionalism that has come out of this company during my wedding planning process. They are always available, are very supportive, and are open to your ideas. They take their time on their photos and videos. People were in awe during the reception when they showed the “love story” and the footage of me walking down the isle right after it just happened! Please, if you are thinking about using this company for your photos, do not hesitate to book with them!! Take my word for it! I did the all inclusive package and I am extremely happy with my decision. They made my wedding day so memorable. I will be recommending them to my friends and plan on using them in the future whenever I need a photographer. Thank you so much Celebrations of Tampa Bay for making my day a dream come true. I can’t thank you enough for the amazing video and photos you took of my wedding day.

“Celebrations of Tampa Bay couldn’t have made our wedding any better! This may seem scripted, but it isn’t. We had our DJ/MC bail 3 weeks before the wedding. We contacted CoTB and they provided us with a DJ and uplighting for a better price and we had a great experience. They captured everything we were hoping for and were very flexible with special requests. We can’t thank them enough and have gotten so many compliments from friends and family for the work they did.

“We hired Celebrations to do our Photo, Video and DJ. I highly recommend hiring one company to do the photo and video. Joe and Randy, work so well together. They were setting up each others shots and helping each other out as much as possible. The photos we smoothly and what I have seen so far look amazing! I can’t wait to get the full package of photos and videos! Dave, our DJ, was great! He understood what we liked and what we wanted from just one phone call. The party never stopped and all our family and friends can’t stop talking about home much fun they had dancing. We made a few (like two or three that I know of) song request on the spot and he accommodated them without any problems. I would def suggest you hire them, I would do it again in a heartbeat!” -Nicole Richards-Hamilton wdg 08.13.16 at Florida Aquarium/ 1930 Grande Room
