Hi there! My name is Andrea and I was a Gainesville bride in 2006. The Internet was still in its infancy, which made finding wedding vendors a little difficult, and long story short, we ended up with a tiny courthouse wedding and a reception in my parents’ backyard! The planning was so stressful because we didn’t know what we didn’t know. I was one of the first of my peers to get married, and there was nobody to really hold my hand and offer advice; there were very few online resources, and blogs were minimal at that point in time.

Fast forward to 2026 as we are about to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! We purchased a restaurant that does wedding catering, and I discovered that the problems I experienced with planning my wedding all those years ago are compounded now rather than being made simpler with the ever-expanding Internet. Talk about information overload! Now, brides planning their Gainesville weddings have an overwhelming number of resources that cater to this or that aspect of wedding planning, but none that help guide you through all the various steps and moving parts that go into your big day.

So, I decided to create this site, complete with curated wedding vendors who serve the Gainesville area, articles with tons of tips, and some free resources (coming soon!) to assist you in your planning such as checklists and budgeting helps.

Let me be one of the first to congratulate you on your engagement! I pray that this resource for Gainesville brides will be of assistance to you, help reduce your stress level during planning, and set you up for an unforgettable wedding day!
