We were married in Key West on the beach by Geri this past March. It couldn't have been more beautiful - we had a very low key ceremony, just the two of us, and Geri put us at ease and was so kind!

Geri is phenomenal. We weren't sure what we wanted for our wedding, but she worked with is to make it perfectly "us." She guided us through arrangements at the beautiful Mermaid & The Alligator, worked with us on our vows, cake, and flowers as well as photos by the incredibly talented Carol Tedesco. She served as our officiant and made our wedding beautiful and perfectly suited to us in every way. If you are looking for the consummate professional, look no farther!

Geri Lagotta is purely fantastic and so much more! We consider her a real gem on such a tiny island. An extremely kind, genuine person we enjoy visiting with while in KW. Chris and I met Geri two years ago during our stay at the Mermaid and Alligator B and B on Truman Ave. This May we planned to return to KW so my husband and I could renew our wedding vows for our 10 year anniversary. We were married on the island in 2005. Geri was the perfect ceremony planner and profession

Having Geri officiate our wedding was very special. My husband and I met Geri 5 years ago when we first vacationed to Key West and stayed at the Mermaid and The Alligator. We instantly connected with her and when we decided to get married on 12/31/13, I immediately thought of Geri. She handled every detail from the location, to the flowers, to the photographer, to restaurant recommendations/reservations, etc. She was extremely professional and kind throughout the process. I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect day. Thank you, Geri!

We can't thank Geri (and Carol) enough for the wonderful experience we had in Key West! We eloped this past October, with no family or friends involved, and the initial decision felt a bit risky at first. Before eloping, we spoke with Geri over the phone, and she immediately made us feel comfortable with our decision. Her laid back demeanor and easygoing, bride and groom-focused approach to weddings was just perfect, and allowed us to begin creating a ceremony that was low stress yet meaningful and unique. When we arrived in Key West, we soon met with Geri, who (not surprisingly) had a very calming influence in person, falling somewhere between a loving mother and a spiritual guru. We talked to her for quite a while, and it was obvious she had a real interest in getting to know us and what we wanted from our wedding ceremony. She also made recommendations for memorable restaurants and fun adventures, which made our visit truly magical, and helped ensure it was something more than just another South Florida wedding stop. When we left that day, it felt like we were leaving an old friend who we'd known for ages. Later, Geri provided some wonderful example vows and helped us tailor them so they meant special something to us. The day of the ceremony, we were at complete ease with our friend, and everything went off without a hitch. Geri often works hand-in-hand with Carol, who photographed our wedding at The Gardens Hotel and at Fort Zachary State Park beach. Carol was also beyond wonderful! She went well above and beyond our expectations and captured some amazingly creative photographs of that day, which was remarkable because neither of us are really comfortable in front of a camera. Like Geri, Carol's easy demeanor and low key approach made things seem effortless, and at the end of the shoot we all felt like we were old friends. It was truly perfect working with Geri and Carol as a team, and together they made our wedding in Key West a magical experience. They made us feel very special, and we were able to experience Key West like the locals. Words can't express how grateful we will always be to Geri and Carol for making our wedding so special. With much love, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts! --Marie and Steve

We decided to elope and wanted a stress free wedding. Geri was just the person to provide that. The wedding was on Smather's Beach and she took care of every detail - from the photographer Carol, who took amazing pictures, to the lovely wedding cake and bouquet to making reservations for a wedding lunch at Lattitudes. She did a wonderful job and we couldn't ask for a better wedding. Robert & Alison

We had an excellent experience with Geri at I Do Weddings. She was patient, kind and understanding through our whole process. She was supportive with suggestions and also completely open to the way we wanted our ceremony to be and feel. Day of, she was a calming, reliable presence that made the moment truly special. I completely recommend.

I Do! Is the best way to say yes to Geri. I got married in 2009 in Key West and was planning everything from out of town. This feat was somewhat difficult but not impossible. Especially when I found Geri. She was our officiant and she was fantastic. Easy to work with and trustworthy. Our ceremony went very smoothly and it was perfect. We couldn't have asked for more! Once again, thank you so much Geri!!!
