Award Winning Wedding in Brandon, FL
Trisha and Gabe’s Tony Awards themed wedding was… well… award winning!! This couple’s day was one they will never forget. Make sure to watch their Tampa wedding video to see their big day for yourself!
1. What part of your wedding planning are you most proud of?
The theme of our wedding reception (Tony Awards) AND the performances of the evening- our first dances, the girls’ surprise dance number, my cousin Marydin’s song dedication, and our good friend and MC keeping the evening alive! There was a lot of volunteering and help from our family and friends, and I feel like we successfully hosted an amazing day.
2. Where did you get married?
Gabe and I got married at Nativity Catholic Church, the parish where I grew up. Our reception was at the Regent, both in Brandon, FL.

3. Why was using WeddingMix appealing for your big day?
Wedding Mix is such a great option in today’s society- EVERYONE has a camera, and it is nice to see a little bit of everyone else’s perspective. And I have never been a fan of posing setting up shots just for the camera. We want to remember our special day as it really unfolded, even if it wasn’t flawless. That’s what makes it so memorable!
4. What special moments from your wedding do you want to remember forever?
This was my first time getting my own make up and hair done by a professional, as I have always been i-n-d-e-p-Well, you get it.
Also, we wanted to be able to remember the ceremony and the moment we officially said “I do” with all the conviction that we had sans microphone. We also want to remember the good times at the reception aka dancing and laughs all around the room. It seems like everyone enjoyed the theme!
5. How did WeddingMix help capture those moments?
Since everyone with a smartphone was able to download the app, WeddingMix had access to several POVs from the day.
