Event Planning / Service Areas

Local Knowledge for Southwest Florida Celebrations

Planning support for weddings and events in Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Marco Island, Estero, Cape Coral, Sanibel, and Captiva.

THE PLACE CHANGES THE PLAN

Regional experience matters before the first guest arrives

A Southwest Florida event plan needs to account for more than a map pin. Beach weather, island access, seasonal traffic, vendor drive times, resort setup rules, delivery windows, indoor-outdoor transitions, and heat-sensitive flowers can all influence the schedule.

Forget Me Not serves Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties from its Bonita Springs home base. The summaries below explain the questions we consider in each requested market. A consultation confirms availability, travel, scope, and the details of your specific venue.

NAPLES, FLORIDA

Wedding & Event Planning in Naples

Naples is the strongest measured planner market in this research. Beachfront celebrations, resort weekends, private-estate events, and downtown gatherings each call for a schedule grounded in guest travel, access, weather options, vendor timing, and the visual experience of the setting.

For a Naples wedding or event, begin with the venue status, indoor-outdoor plan, guest lodging, key program moments, setup window, and floral priorities. These details shape the right planning scope.

MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA

Destination Wedding & Event Planning on Marco Island

Marco Island planning often includes a destination mindset: guest arrivals, resort or venue requirements, beach conditions, wind and heat, compressed setup windows, and flowers chosen for the environment.

Share where guests are staying, how many event moments are planned, what the venue provides, and which details need to move between locations. A coordinated island timeline can reduce uncertainty for both the host and the vendor team.

FORT MYERS, FLORIDA

Wedding & Event Planning in Fort Myers

Fort Myers offers riverfront settings, hotels, historic spaces, gardens, and private properties. The practical plan may need to coordinate downtown or waterfront access, guest transportation, vendor arrivals, setup timing, weather contingencies, and transitions between ceremony and reception.

Bring the venue schedule, existing vendor list, guest count, program needs, and any setup restrictions to the consultation so responsibilities can be clearly assigned.

CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA

Wedding & Event Planning in Cape Coral

Cape Coral events may take place near the water, at a private property, or in a traditional event setting. Drive routes, bridge traffic, parking, load-in access, rental placement, weather cover, and vendor arrival order can materially affect the schedule.

A useful first inquiry includes the exact location, site access, guest count, indoor-outdoor plan, rental needs, and whether floral setup or breakdown is part of the requested service.

BONITA SPRINGS, FLORIDA

Wedding & Event Planning in Bonita Springs

Bonita Springs is Forget Me Not’s home market. Local collaboration can simplify flower consultations, planning conversations, and the handoff between design choices and event-day logistics.

Planning services are distinct from the existing Bonita Springs wedding-florist service, but the two can be combined. Share the venue, date, guest count, planning stage, and floral priorities to define the right mix.

ESTERO, FLORIDA

Wedding & Event Planning in Estero

Estero is centrally positioned between Naples, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers, making it practical for local and traveling guests. Resort, club, business, and intimate celebrations still benefit from a clear plan for access, vendor timing, program flow, rentals, and flowers.

Tell us whether the event is local or destination-based, what the venue includes, which professionals are already booked, and where you want planning responsibilities to begin.

SANIBEL & CAPTIVA, FLORIDA

Destination Wedding & Event Planning on the Islands

Sanibel and Captiva share destination-event considerations that justify a coordinated planning approach: island access, guest lodging, arrival times, weather, venue rules, vendor travel, limited setup windows, and flowers selected for heat, wind, and transport.

Because the islands are closely related and neither has reportable city-modified search volume, they belong together on this regional page until Forget Me Not can support separate pages with verified planning work and local proof from each island.
