Our Team
At Savoir Faire Weddings we know that a “perfect” wedding doesn’t just happen. It is created and nurtured behind the scenes by a team of dedicated professionals.
Stephanie Tate
Stephanie is the owner and lead coordinator. She opened Savoir Faire Weddings in January 2003, in Gainesville, Florida, and relocated the business in September 2005, to the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast.
A self-proclaimed “Detail Freak,” her attention to detail and organization skills allow her brides to relax and enjoy the planning process. Having planned over 400 weddings has given Stephanie the experience necessary to plan and execute any wedding, no matter how big or small.
When she is not planning weddings, you will find her at the gym or spending time with her husband of 20 years, Bill, and their two daughters, Bailey and Lia.
Tia Bond
Tia began coordinating weddings in 2014. However, her relationship with Stephanie started in 2011 as a Savoir Faire bride! Her wedding was executed so flawlessly.
She wanted to provide the future brides the same comfort and happiness. Her planning and organizational management experience, coupled with a bubbly personality, make her a valuable Savoir Faire Weddings addition.
When she is not coordinating weddings, you will find her either fishing with her husband, Michael and her adorable son Dylan, or hugging on her fur baby Baylee.
