about US
NIQUE Weddings + Events is Florida’s premier wedding and event planning firm, known for jaw-dropping designs, unforgettable experiences, and a level of detail so precise, it’s borderline obsessive.
Led by creative genius (and caffeine-fueled superhuman) Staci Mandikas, UNIQUE has racked up industry awards and made its way into national and local publications—basically, we’re kind of a big deal. As a woman-owned business in Tampa Bay, we’re all about inclusivity and proudly wave the rainbow flag for the LGBTQ+ community.
Because, let’s be real—everyone deserves a celebration that’s just as unique as they are. And we’re here to make that happen with a whole lot of flair and just the right amount of sass.
