Aviva was amazing!


Working with Aviva was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she is not only incredibly organized and experienced, but also deeply passionate about creating beautiful, personalized, and truly unforgettable events.
What we didn't realize at the time was just how far above and beyond she would go to make our day absolutely perfect.
Aviva handled every detail with grace and precision - from the tiniest touches in our decor to the seamless coordination of vendors, guests, and timing. She anticipated needs before they even came up and took every ounce of stress off our shoulders. But what really set her apart was her heart. She genuinely cared about us, our story, and making sure our wedding felt like *us* in every way possible.
If unexpected weather threatened our outdoor ceremony, Aviva had a Plan B, C, and D in place before we even had time to worry. When a last-minute hiccup arose with our flowers, she handled it so smoothly we didn't even know there had been an issue until after the wedding was over. Every moment flowed effortlessly -and that was 100% thanks to her.
Beyond her professionalism, Aviva brought such warmth, joy, and calm energy to the entire process. She made what could have been a stressful time into something we'll always look back on with joy. Our wedding day was magic-and we owe so much of that magic to Aviva.
If you're lucky enough to book her, trust me- you're in the absolute best hands.

Simply the best

Aviva was a godsend. From the smallest details to the biggest ones, she really made sure that every single thing was covered… leaving us with no stress and a feeling of total confidence that our big day would go off without a hitch.

The result? Pure perfection. It was the best day of our lives and we got to simply dance, sing, and celebrate while leaving the planning and organizing to the best!

I can’t possibly recommend her more highly.

A Dream Wedding Made Possible

Choosing Kiss the Planner, led by the incredible Aviva, was undoubtedly one of the best decisions Eric and I made in our wedding planning journey. From the initial consultation to the last dance at our reception, every step was guided with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care.

Aviva has an incredible ability to turn dreams into reality. She listened attentively to our vision, offering valuable insights and creative suggestions that not only enhanced our ideas but also made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it was evident that Aviva is passionate about her work.

Communication was seamless throughout the process. Aviva was always prompt in responding to emails and calls, making us feel reassured and valued. Her organizational skills are commendable, and she kept everything on track, ensuring that all the moving parts came together seamlessly on the big day.

One of the standout qualities of Aviva is her ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace. From minor hiccups to last-minute adjustments, she navigated everything with a calm and composed demeanor, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any worries.

What truly set Aviva apart was her unique ability to save us money without compromising on the quality of our wedding. Aviva, suggested skipping the traditional florist and took charge of the floral arrangements herself. Her past experience as a florist added a special touch, as she seamlessly blended her creative ideas with our vision, resulting in stunning floral arrangements that exceeded our expectations.

Aviva's creativity went beyond the floral arrangements. Recognizing the importance of incorporating my Filipino culture into the ceremony, she suggested the use of "Abaniko," a traditional Filipino hand fan. This thoughtful addition added a personal and cultural touch to the ceremony, making it even more meaningful for us and our guests. Aviva's ability to infuse cultural elements into the celebration demonstrated a deep understanding of my background and a commitment to making my wedding day a reflection of who we are.

As residents of Las Vegas, the idea of a destination wedding seemed like a distant dream. However, with Aviva's assistance, we were able to turn this dream into a reality by getting married in Florida. Aviva's expert budgeting skills and resourcefulness allowed us to afford a destination wedding while staying within our financial means.

While we acknowledge that weddings or events are not always perfect, we are grateful that ours came pretty close, thanks to Aviva and the team. Life will continue to throw hardships our way, but what's most important is how we react to them. Aviva exemplified the essence of embracing imperfections with a positive attitude. Her ability to navigate challenges seamlessly not only made our wedding day perfect but also served as a valuable life lesson.

In summary, Aviva is not just a wedding planner, she is a dream-weaver, turning your vision into a reality. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for what she does, set her apart in the industry. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day truly magical and impart valuable life lessons along the way, Aviva is the one to choose. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Aviva and her entire team for making our destination wedding an unforgettable and joyous occasion.

Highly recommend this wonderful team!

Aviva and her team, Angie and Paige, are top quality planners that helped us create the wedding of my dreams! I highly recommend working with them- I wish we could do it over and over again. We had a backyard garden wedding that was beyond anything I could have imagined. Aviva helped us turn my parents backyard into an enchanted venue that exceeded all expectations. We will certainly miss working with Aviva and Kiss the Planner.

The Amazing Aviva!

Christina and I were married on October 23rd 2021. Since we were having a smaller wedding we thought we would be able to handle all the planning and and fine details on our own while still both working full time. Boy were we wrong!
We met with and hired Aviva in July 2021 as a planner month/day of coordinator. With many years of experience and a large network of vendors that she works with, you will get great value. In the month leading up to our wedding we had to find last minute replacements for our florist and groomsmen suit rentals, as the original vendors dropped out unceremoniously. Aviva set me up with a tux shop the same day, and got us a new florist within 36 hours!
Aviva is extremely patient with her clients and keeps them grounded when the stress levels start to rise. She was a complete pleasure to work with from start to finish- including the day of! She and her assistants made sure the entire day flowed seamlessly. Everyone who attended said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended. Thank you so much Aviva for all your help and support! We couldn't have done it without you.

Great Wedding Planner!

Aviva was a great wedding planner! She went above and beyond to listen to all of our requests as well as help manage the flow of the wedding. I truly believe it would not have gone as smooth as it did if it was not for her and her assistant, Angie! Angie was also great and took some great photos of us during our wedding. Thank you so much for making this an unforgettable experience Aviva and Angie!

Month of Planner

Aviva was amazing! We knew from going to our hotel we wanted to hire someone to handle all the things the day of. Aviva and Paige did everything and beyond. We were able to make a time line ahead of time and went through it to keep adjusting to have the most perfect day. She did everything from contacting vendors, being at the hotel when vendors arrived, helped the photographer/videographer with the shot list, attended to myself and husband as well as our parents. It was so smooth , we could not recommend Aviva and her team more!!!! Thank you Aviva for such a stress free day!!!
