Lulu Events: Your Go-To Wedding Planner in St. Augustine, FL (and the Dream Team You Didn’t Know You Needed)
Planning a wedding is a lot. I know because as a Jacksonville wedding photographer, I’ve seen it all. The excited tears, vendor spreadsheets, the 3 a.m. Pinterest rabbit holes, stressing about how your vision will come together. But I also know this…when you’ve got the right team by your side, everything feels easier, smoother, and even fun. Lulu Events may just be that perfect wedding planner in St. Augustine, FL that you’ve been waiting for.
Recently, I met up with some of the ladies of the Lulu crew for a casual hang at Spruce, one of my favorite little spots and plant bars in Jacksonville. If you know anything about me, you know I’m obsessed with plants. And even more obsessed with finding the ones that are strong enough to survive my once-a-month waterings. Yikes.
Taily, Lulu Event’s associate lead planner, came along, and let me just say, she’s the perfect, capable presence you want around on a wedding day. She’s detail-driven without being intense, and has that rare gift of balancing structure with warmth. We also played with the prettiest dishes and place settings from Posh, which added the perfect touch to the vibe of Spruce.
One thing that stands out about Lulu Events is that Vicki and her team don’t just plan, they care. They actually listen. They want your day to unfold exactly how you’ve always dreamed of, and then some. And when I get to document a day they’ve brought to life? That’s when the real magic happens.
So if you’re still on the hunt for a wedding planner who brings calm to the chaos and joy to the details, let me introduce you to Lulu Events and my friend (owner and founder), Vicki Blood.
A St Augustine, FL Wedding Planning Business Built on Heart (and a Really Sweet Name)
As a mom to two daughters myself, something I love about Lulu Events is the name. After the birth of her daughter, Vicki started her company, Lulu Events, a name inspired by her own daughter. Vicki is all about love, legacy, and doing something meaningful in the community here in Jacksonville, FL.
What started as a one-woman show has grown into a full-on dream team. Think bridal assistants, associate planners, and even an in-house content creator. Every person on the team brings their own magic, and they all work together like a well-oiled, joyful, timeline-loving machine.
And that’s what stands out about Lulu Events. They’re not just planners. They’re the women you want around you on your wedding day, helping your vision come to life.
What They Actually Do (Spoiler: It’s a Lot)
Whether you’re starting from scratch or halfway through planning with six tabs open, Lulu Events has a service to meet you where you are. Here’s a little breakdown:
✨ Full-Service Planning
They’ll help with everything from your venue search to building your dream vendor team. Budget? Timeline? Logistics? Covered. Their full-service investment also includes 8 hours of content creation and a bridal assistant for 6 hours. How cool is that!?!
✨ Partial Planning
You’ve booked a few things but need help pulling it all together. They’ll step in, organize the chaos, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
✨ Day Of Management (aka “please take it from here”)
If you’ve done most of the planning but want someone to run the show, this is for you. They’ll handle all the final details so you can enjoy the day without a clipboard in your hand.
✨ Bridal Assistants
These are your dress fluffers, lipstick holders, veil-fixers, and timeline ninjas. Basically, your personal wedding-day sidekick, and let me tell you, you need this one.
✨ Content Creation
Elena and Coral are your girls for this part! Capturing behind-the-scenes, real-time moments throughout the day that even your videographer might not catch. It’s perfect for couples who want candid, phone-style footage they can relive immediately (and post to social media before your professional photos are even edited).
Oh—and They Have a Podcast
If you’re a podcast girlie or just want to soak up some helpful wedding planning tips while you’re driving or cleaning or winding down, Vicki’s podcast is worth a listen. Specifically created for the couple that may not be able to have a planner, Vicki still shares all of her secrets and tips on her podcast, Brides Informal, available on Spotify. It’s like having a super-experienced planner in your earbuds, sharing honest advice, behind-the-scenes stories, and vendor chats without the fluff, all for free!
Why We Work So Well Together
Now, here’s the part where I get a little personal.
When I’m photographing a wedding that Lulu Events is planning, everything just clicks. They know how to create space for real moments, the kind I love to capture most. The timeline flows without feeling rushed. They’re intentional about collaborating with your vendor team (hi, that’s me), and somehow they catch and solve the little things before you even notice them. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes magic that makes your whole day feel easy. And they do it all without making you feel like you’re just another event on their calendar.
It’s a partnership that makes your day better, not just for us, but for you.
Because when your photographer and planner are in sync, your whole experience feels more relaxed, more fun, and way more like you.
Want a Planner + Photographer Who Just Click?
If you’re looking for a wedding planner in St. Augustine, FL , and beyond, who feels more like a friend than a vendor, and you want a photographer who’s already in rhythm with them, Lulu Events and I’ve got you covered!
