Chelsea Cummings
We hired Vanessa to plan and execute our wedding and we could not be happier. She took care of everything so well and allowed us to enjoy the day with minimum stress possible. She suggested us incredible vendors, planned the wedding together with the suggested vendors and vendors of our own choosing and made sure everything went perfectly well on the wedding day. She really listens to everything during the planning and tirelessly works on solutions. We did not make things easy on her :) but she got everything perfect. She dealt with all our personal requests and found vendors to our liking. I can not imagine having such a wonderful wedding without Vanessa's planning. If you are getting married, hiring Vanessa is the best investment you can do.

Vanessa is the most amazing wedding planner! She's is so kind, caring, and an expert at her job! She helped make my dream of getting married in Spain a reality. From the first time we talked I felt at ease, and so much less stressed. I am eternally grateful for everything.

Después de mucho pensar que queríamos hacer de matrimonio, mi esposo y yo decidimos viajar a España con nuestra familia y casarnos allá. A pesar de que somos todos colombianos y vivimos en Colombia. Nos soñábamos casándonos en un pueblito blanco cerca al mar, en una iglesia pequeña y teniendo una cena muy especial con nuestra familia Y gracias a vane así fue!! La contactamos por internet y desde el principio fue súper ordenada con el presupuesto, las video llamadas par programar todo y con las fechas y la agenda de ese día. Por eso sin conocerla personalmente, nos arriesgamos y decidimos hacer todo con ella. Vane nos ayudo a conseguir la iglesia, los papeles de la iglesia y el consulado, nos ayudo a conseguir los proveedoreres y ese día fue Perfecto gracias a ella! HIZO EXACTAMENTE LO QUE HABÍAMOS DICHO Y ESO ME ENCANTO! QUE SUPO ESUCHAR E INTERPRETAR NUESTRO SUEÑO Y LUEGO PLANEAR TODO PARA QUE SE HICIERA REALIDAD, TAL CUAL SE LO HABIAMOS DESCRITO!.
