About Forever I Do Weddings

I began in the wedding business in 2002 as a wedding photographer and Forever I Do Weddings’ only full time wedding planner growing and elevating the company to plan over 400 events in one year alone. I became one the co-owners of the original company in 2005 which soon became a multi-award winning office. In late 2014, my dad and I became the sole owners.

I plan, coordinate and produce weddings, special occasions and non-profit events. I am a published professional photographer and leads Forever I Do Weddings’ photography group which also includes award-winning photographers. I earned the title of Professional Bridal Consultant with the world recognized Association of Bridal Consultants and am a member of the international networking group, BNI, where I have been Chapter President in the Success Partners of Fort Walton Beach chapter.

I also have started an online teaching program for wedding professionals.

I have a huge a passion for the wedding industry as it fulfills both my artistic and detail-oriented sides of my personality. I love working in my community which has enabled me to work with local Air Force Squadrons and local school activities. My  skills have helped forge strong relationships with premier wedding venues and other wedding industry professionals which have helped to ensure the best options for my clients during their wedding planning.

I was a scholarship student and then professional ballerina with the Northwest Florida Ballet. I attended OWCC now known as Northwest Florida State College and later became a professional ballroom competitor and instructor with Fred Astaire Dance Studios earning titles in Cabaret, Theatre Arts and American style rhythm. As an instructor in one of the nation’s top schools, I have been fortunate to participate in specialized management training in business and hospitality management which was integral in helping me to make my family’s company the success it has become.

I live in Fort Walton Beach with my husband, Jerry, and two children: Sydney and Chloe. I enjoy spending time with my family, being active in my church, and participating with continuing advance education to hone my craft of wedding planning and photography. One of my goals is to create an advocacy group against elder abuse.

Lawrence Weinzetl (1937 to 2017) was the co-owner of Forever I Do Weddings Inc. with his daughter, Stacy, and had been the finance and accounting manager of the company since 2002.  He was the original photographer for the company when it first started and was a notary who performed hundreds of weddings for the company for 25 years.

Lawrence was a retired Air Force Master Sergeant after proudly serving for 25 years in the security field.  He earned a Bronze star V device which denotes acts of heroism in combat/placed in harm’s way during his deployment in Thailand.

Lawrence later was in the insurance field with Modern Woodman of America and then worked in administration with Okaloosa Coordinated Transportation before retiring again to work full time with the family business of Forever I Do Weddings.

Lawrence resided in Fort Walton Beach with his wife, Noelle, who owns her own florist shop and is Forever I Do Weddings Inc.’s head floral designer.  His first priority was to his family and was celebrating 45+ years of marriage prior to his death in June of 2017.
