Hello!
"I Choose you, and I'll choose you over and over and over again, without pause, without a doubt & in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you!"
Hello! If you have found your way here, that means you are considering I Choose You Events for your upcoming wedding. We cannot begin to tell you how happy that makes us! We truly believe that creating an amazing wedding experience for you comes down to one very important detail. Getting to know each other!
So let’s start here...
The Story
I Choose You Events was founded in 2018 by Owner, Jaimi Weatherspoon (That's me!). I have spent 17 years in the wedding industry here in the Tampa industry. I started & spent 10 years of that time specializing in Visual storytelling…you know, photographing weddings! I truly loved it, and all of my experience working with couples, capturing details, and building relationships with vendors assisted me in creating and growing I Choose You events.
Often, I am asked why I made this career change, and the truth is while I truly loved capturing weddings, at heart, I am a detailed oriented person. I find comfort in sifting through details, calming the restless and working through logistics. Sometimes it takes a lifetime to find what truly makes your heart beat a little faster (for all the right reasons). I'm lucky to have found my place. Planning weddings allows me to put all my best skills to use.
Get to know me!
1. I am a people person. I never met a stranger, and there is no one I'm afraid to say hello to!
2. I'm a details & Information person. I like things to be laid out and to make sense. Some would say I'm a little Type A (A++). Horrible trait in many places...best trait ever as a wedding planner (Wink).
3. I LOVE to help. I can't even help it. It's in my soul.
4. I have an eye for design & details. When you mix artist with planning...well the outcome is nothing short of amazing. (says me of course LOL)
5. I love to create. This ties together #1-4. I enjoy removing stress, curating a vision, and then using my hands and mind to bring all of that together, so that you love every stage of your planning experience.
6. I genuinely love what I do. If I won the lottery tomorrow....I'd for sure take a killer vacation...but I'd never leave what I do. I love it... and I love the people I work with.
When I grew the team... I grew a team who all had the same vibes. We're creative, caring, a little sarcastic, hard working, and here for our people!
Some things I love that have nothing to do with anything!!!
1. Cruises! Yes!!!! Take me all the places.
2. Fountain soda over nugget ice, or Taco bell Pepsi.
3. Candles, Epsom salt and baths. Allllll the things that promote a little calm.
4. True crime/docu series. I'm a junkie. But I'm running out of things to watch. Send help!
5. sleep. love to sleep. I may have fallen asleep in my yard a couple times. shhhhh!
6. I love rain. (Not at weddings, and not on my skin...weird I know!)
7. Mountain air. Nothin better in the whole world.
8. The most free I feel is cliff jumping into lakes.
