Hi, I’m Lydia!

I'm proud to introduce myself as the founder and owner of, "Weddings by Lydia!" We celebrated our 9th Anniversary in Pensacola last February and we have our fantastic brides and grooms to thank for that!

I began planning and coordinating weddings and events at a young age while raising my two beautiful children in Virginia Beach. My love of working with brides from every walk of life and sharing their excitement has always been an honor and privilege and also a lot of fun! 

I've lived in Pensacola for 10 years with my wonderful husband, Greg. I love to laugh and believe that a good sense of humor can get you through anything! After all, weddings are a celebration of love and life! So, sit back and relax and let us make this most memorable day, a perfect one for you!

“Lydia was beyond extraordinary; she made my husband and I’s vow renewal something close to a magical fairytale. Lydia was only ever one phone call, email, or text away for all my questions and concerns, especially since we were from the heart of Texas, and me never having met her reassured my ever-growing worry. Lydia went above and beyond for every absurd request I had; she always made sure every little detail was perfect, down to the hard-to-find pink roses for my flower girls and the immaculate sunset and location where my husband and I said our “I do’s”. Thank you, Lydia, for the unforgettable memories and the joy you and your team brought to my family and me.”

“There are no words to describe just how grateful we are; I can tell you right now that it's not going to fit into a card! Lydia was hands down the best decision we made in this whole wedding process. We really did have the best day of our lives, and we will treasure it forever. For two people who were very much out of their element, you were patient, understanding, and clear in your communications. Thank you for the late nights, the never-ending emails, the laughter, and the memories.

From helping pick out a beach house to the photographer, florist, baker, and everyone else involved, we were blown away by the cohesion and beauty in every aspect of our day. Lydia is so much more than a wedding planner; she is an angel who goes above and beyond on all occasions. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication are just amazing. She is a rarity and a diligent professional; from the little details to the overall picture, she made our day absolutely perfect. People don't believe us when we say we never felt stress, only joy, but it's true. My wife and I are from Mississippi, and I grew the best relationship with Lydia over the phone. Best wishes to Lydia and her team. A small thank you for a big job.”
