C
reating the perfect wedding day is more than just the
sum of a few moving parts—it’s the symphony that
results from harmonizing of the smallest details, often
too many to count, and the way that they come together
to be everything a bride could ever imagine for the day she’s been
anticipating her entire life. Integral to that fantasy is, of course,
the many aspects that come into play to set the scene: the flowers,
the lights, the décor, the music…They must all come together
seamlessly, their colors engaged in a well-coordinated dance, their
styles matching in concept and vision, their notes blending in tone.
And for event planning and management companies like Showtime
Events in Santa Rosa Beach, a wedding is the ultimate production,
the ultimate event—and one that should be so stunning that it takes
everyone’s breath away.
Initially begun in Ft. Lauderdale in 1993 by Michael and
Rebecca Scozzafave, the company expanded its reach to open a
second location in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1998 before adding
locations in Santa Rosa Beach; Washington, D.C.; and Michigan
over the next ten years. Turning their focus to the wedding scene,
Showtime Events launched their Weddings brand in March of
2018; and their march down the aisle has certainly been one worthy
of engagement. “What sets us apart are our constant efforts to
exceed our clients’ expectations, our complete attention to detail,
and the fact that we offer all the components to create a stylized
atmosphere—all in one place, no matter where that might be,”
says Lead Wedding and Special Events Designer Carley Hubbard,
whose years in the event space have certainly given her great insight
into just what’s required to pull off the perfect day.
Offering unique, custom design services that include floral
arrangements as well as layout design, lighting, draping, and rentals
of everything from original backdrops and arbors to a variety of
furnishings, decor, bar options, specialty tables and chairs, dance
floors, and stages, the team at Showtime Events Weddings truly is
the complete package—not to mention every couple’s dream come
true. And with AV services and entertainment thrown into the mix,
they keep the energy of the day running high, creating everything
necessary for a show-stopping event that’s all about the wow.
“The best thing about doing the work that we do is having the
unique opportunity of forming relationships with the clients
throughout the design process of a day that means so much to them
and their future,” Hubbard says. “I’m blessed with a very rewarding
career, and I feel so elated when I see the bride and groom’s faces
when the set up of their wedding is complete.”
