Dream wedding in PR!
She was organized, professional, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. She kept us on track, communicated clearly, and recommended vendors that perfectly matched our vision and budget—every single one was amazing. She even went above and beyond to manage packages we shipped ahead of time and had backup plans ready when weather caused delays, which gave us so much peace of mind.
On our wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect. We felt completely calm and present, knowing Sari and her team had everything handled. Their calming presence and attention to detail allowed us to truly enjoy every single moment without any stress.
We are so grateful for everything Sari and her team did to make our wedding day so special. It was truly a dream come true, and we would recommend Tropical Weddings to anyone without hesitation!!
Wonderful Experience Planning Our Wedding from Abroad
From the very beginning, she understood and respected our wishes. When I explained that we wanted a small, intimate ceremony followed by a simple reception dinner, she immediately knew how to bring that vision to life. She clearly outlined every step, sent thoughtful recommendations, kept track of all the details, contacted vendors, confirmed reservations, and was always quick to respond to questions, no matter how small.
What stood out most was how supported and heard I felt throughout the process. Sari was incredibly attentive, calm, and reliable, which gave us so much peace of mind while planning from afar. On the day of the wedding, she was a steady, reassuring presence and ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment without worry.
I can’t recommend Sari highly enough, especially for couples planning from abroad or anyone looking for a planner who genuinely listens, cares, and executes beautifully. We couldn’t have done this without her.
Amazing wedding planner!

It Never Rains on a Tropical Wedding!
Sari and John were amazing. They were always prepared to fix any and everything that could possible go wrong most times before it got that far. They were amazing at emotional support and keeping our (read: the bride's) stress low. The wedding day was more beautiful and "perfect" than I ever imagined it being. Thank you both for looking us in the eyes and telling us to trust you! We would highly recommend the Tropical Weddings Team.
Look no further - Book with Sari!
Above and beyond for a magical week
Their hands on approach and helpful advice leading to the wedding day helped make the planning process simple and fun and their ninja like work on the day of the ceremony made it so we could relax and enjoy everything they helped us pull together.
Highly recommend for people looking to co-ordinate multiple vendors to pull together an event and looking for a fun, hands on experience.
