Amber Patricio
Owner/Event Designer
I believe that a successful event requires unique and personalized attention to every detail. I pride myself in staying savvy about the hottest trends in the industry and approaching each project in a fresh new way….but don't let that fool you, I'm a traditionalist at heart. I deeply treasure customs, traditions and old world etiquette that add significance to a special event. It's a play between the traditional and contemporary that really drives my passion!
I am a proud graduate of the University of South Florida and member of the Tampa Bay community where I live with my husband DJ and son Luca. My professional experience began planning events while working at the University of South Florida and was soon followed with several years in the hotel, catering and wedding industry. My experience in both social and corporate event coordinating has given me the opportunity to form relationships with the area's premier vendors. I now energetically bring my experience, vendor relationships and love of the business to EVENT DESIGN.
I feel blessed to be celebrating a decade of event planning in the West Coast Florida area and beyond.
What can I do for you? My desire is to ensure your vision is reflected in every way, throughout each moment of your event. I guarantee to bring innovative creativity, personalized care, impeccable attention to detail, reliable referrals and unparallel commitment to your event. My goal is simple – to assist in achieving a successful event that is a true reflection of YOU!

DJ Patricio
Productions Manager
This is the man you will find hard at work on your event date! His day starts much earlier than mine and without him we could never turn these blank canvases into the extraordinary, gorgeous backdrops they become!
DJ heads up our decor and rentals division, meeting with clients, managing our set up/delivery crew and maintaining our inventory. I can say assuredly that everything is kept top notch. He brings a unique perspective creatively and has a great ability to envision a decor plan that will truly maximize your space.

"My career with wedding coordinating began almost out of necessity one lovely Saturday afternoon. My wonderful husband has a fabulous talent of photography - he is not a professional but he will do photos for friends. So, when he was asked by our dear friend Olivia to photograph her wedding, my husband asked if I would help out??? Of course, I love weddings!!!
When everything was just about to get started, I asked where the coordinator was to get the ceremony in order. I was told that there wasn't a coordinator??? I was not sure why but we had hit chaos and something needed to be done, so I just began putting everyone in order and sending them down the aisle. As the day went on, I continued to put out fires that stemmed from an absent coordinator, such as getting the ring bearer to the nearest restroom right before he was supposed to walk down the aisle, giving the bride and groom a ride to their reception, finding a guest that knew how to tie a complicated bustle, coming up with a timeline of events for the caterer and entertainment, replacing candles that had burned out and packing up and transporting the décor and gifts at the end of the night. Once I saw the joy on the bride and groom's face while they were thanking me for an event that ended up coming together beautifully, I immediately knew that I had found my true calling. When I met Amber and DJ from Event Design, I quickly realized that they have the same level of dedication and deliver the personalized service that I desire to give my clients. I couldn't be more excited to join the Event Design team!" |
