A Botanical Paradise:
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by lush greenery, with the Hillsborough River sparkling in the background. That’s exactly what Kaeley and Garry got at Plant Park! Tampa’s oldest and largest botanical garden, Plant Park is a historic haven that’s hosted everyone from international celebrities to everyday couples like Kaeley and Garry looking for a touch of magic on their special day.
Rich in History & Romance:
Built by a wealthy businessman as a “formal playground” for his hotel guests, Plant Park oozes with old-world charm. Imagine strolling hand-in-hand through this enchanting escape, knowing that countless love stories have unfolded beneath the same sprawling banyan trees.
A Ceremony Filled with Love & Personal Touches:

Their custom-designed ceremony was a heartfelt reflection of their love, incorporating a touching Blessing of the Hands ceremony. With the breathtaking Hillsborough River and the Tampa skyline as their backdrop, they exchanged vows filled with emotion and promise. Rings were exchanged, and Rev. Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies officially pronounced them husband and wife. A gorgeous bouquet and boutonniere from Iza’s Flowers added a touch of elegance, beautifully captured by Tammy with True Love Photography.
