AMR Weddings & Events Coordination

Working with Aida was one of the most pleasurable experiences we can describe. Upon contacting her, she was not only professional but her demeanor was familiar, soft spoken, and comforting. It is SUPER stressful planning a wedding, figuring out what you want, managing expectations from external factors, and maintaining your relationship all along. Aida went above and beyond to not only provide us with exemplary planning and customer service, but also became a friend, sister, and aunt as we could always rely upon her to keep our heads above water. Aida is authentic, straight to the point, and rest assured she will provide you with top notch vendors to make your day come alive. Every voice note, call, or email sent to Aida never went unanswered. We must also add, our wedding searches had its challenges. A) it was a destination and B) it was not easy to find many vendors who have worked with African and black Caribbean people. It’s tough to find people who can do natural hair, makeup for melanated people, let alone willing to accommodate and adjust to different cultures outside of traditional European ones. But Aida made it happen period! We expressed our hesitations and concerns and she made it a point to find what we needed and provide reassurance the whole process. The day of our wedding, we couldn’t have been more pleased. Our ceremony was beautiful, and the reception was a blast. The dj was the bomb, our decorations were outstanding, the cake was so tasty. Aida thank you for your generosity, your gentle words of wisdom, and your support. Our wedding was executed exactly as we had envisioned thanks to you. Moreover, we thank you for keeping us grounded and reminded us what our marriage was about in the first place. Hasta Luego.

Aida was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and transparent throughout the entire planning process. We live in Chicago, but our wedding was in Ponce, and she made everything feel seamless from a distance. She connected us with amazing vendors and worked at whatever pace we needed. Her calm demeanor made everything feel easy and under control, like she had done this a thousand times before. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding turned out.

Aida Rodríguez fue mucho más que nuestra coordinadora de bodas; fue nuestro apoyo, nuestra guía y nuestra tranquilidad durante todo el proceso. Desde el primer día demostró ser increíblemente organizada, conocedora y, sobre todo, una persona que transmite paz incluso en los momentos de mayor estrés. Saber que ella estaba a cargo nos daba una confianza inmensa.
Siempre estuvo disponible para aclarar nuestras dudas y preocupaciones, coordinar reuniones y comunicarse constantemente con los vendors. Nunca nos sentimos solos en el proceso; al contrario, nos sentimos acompañados y cuidados en cada paso. Gracias a sus recomendaciones y a su experiencia, la planificación de nuestra boda fue mucho más amena y hasta disfrutable.
El día de la boda fue simplemente perfecto. Todo fluyó exactamente como lo soñamos, con una coordinación impecable y una atención a cada detalle que superó nuestras expectativas. Aida hizo realidad el día que tanto anhelábamos y ejecutó exactamente todo lo que le pedimos.
Estamos profundamente agradecidos por su entrega, su compromiso y su amor por lo que hace. Aida es una profesional sumamente talentosa, con muchísima experiencia en esta industria, y se nota en cada decisión y en cada detalle. No tenemos palabras suficientes para agradecerle por haber hecho de nuestra boda un día inolvidable.

We really could not have asked for a better person to support us through our destination wedding process! Aida made time for us in person & via Zoom so that we would be at ease & no small detail would be forgotten. She helped us to stay on task even through stressful times. She helped us assemble a wonderful team of vendors that each provided extraordinary customer service & quality work. She made sure any challenges we experienced we overcame them & had the most beautiful wedding experience! Our wedding day turned out so incredibly beautiful thanks to Aida & all of her support! Would highly recommend her as your wedding planner!

Aida provided exemplary service, was the image of professionalism, and worked hard to ensure our wedding experience was on budget and truly "a dream". I'm still over the moon about it.

When I read these reviews I thought it seemed like she was willing to go above and beyond, and I must say, I could not be happier with how smoothly everything went.

Aida made our dream a reality. You have our deepest gratitude.

A pleasure work with. And on the day of, I could not imagine being in more capable hands.

Highest recommendation.

We recently had our dream destination wedding in Puerto Rico, and it would not have been possible without our incredible wedding planner, Aida. From the very beginning, she was warm, welcoming, and deeply committed to making our day perfect.

As Ethiopians, we knew our wedding would include unique cultural traditions, and Aida approached every detail with the utmost respect and curiosity. She took the time to understand our customs, from the ceremonies to the music and seamlessly blended them with the beauty and charm of a Puerto Rican celebration. Her patience, open-mindedness, and willingness to adapt ensured that our cultures came together in the most beautiful way.

Aida’s professionalism was unmatched—organized, responsive, and calm under pressure. She anticipated every need before we even voiced it and worked tirelessly behind the scenes so we could enjoy every moment stress-free. The local connections she brought as someone from Puerto Rico made the planning process smooth, and her vendor recommendations were outstanding.

If you are looking for a wedding planner who is not only talented and detail-oriented but also genuinely cares about your vision and culture, Aida is the one. She turned our dream into reality, and for that, we will be forever grateful.

Aida delivers a kind of professionalism one can only dream of. She made the process of a destination wedding a breeze for us. Though my husband’s family still lives in the island, Aida provided invaluable information and coordination that we would’ve been lost without since we couldn’t be there in person for most of the process leading up to the wedding. Because of her, we were able to arrive, enjoy, and even relax a bit while she and our wonderful florist handled things. If I were doing it all again, I’d hire her for the full package and not just day of coordination. She is worth every single penny!!! Much love to Aida ❤️

Aida is one of the most professional people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. My wedding was a destination wedding to PR, and a bilingual one too, and she was my Day Of Coordinator. She was FAST at responding to any questions or inquiries and incredibly flexible when it came to arranging (and last minute rearranging!) plans for the night. She was very vocal about how things should flow and her recommendations based on her experiences, which was super helpful to us in ensuring that we had a good ceremony and reception. Aida was efficient at communicating with both wedding parties in both English and Spanish, and incredible at officiating the reception. She effectively communicated with every one of our vendors and we felt safe and confident in leaving that to her hands, and she did not disappoint whatsoever. Everything was exactly as we planned, and Aida did everything in her power to make sure we had the night of our lives and the wedding of our dreams. Could not have been more blessed to have had her as our Day Of Coordinator and we’re so incredibly thankful for her and the work she put in to make everything run smoothly. If you’re doubtful, don’t be! You will not regret working with her at all!

We feel so blessed that Aida served as both our wedding coordinator and wedding officiant! Aida has this beautiful grounded spirit that is able to tap into what you are thinking and feeling. She went above and beyond to meet our needs. Her presence is simultaneously calming and empowering.

Aida is a godsend when it comes to wedding planning and ceremony efforts. She provided us with consistent and sometimes extra effort to make sure that we were taken care of. If you choose her, you are going to be working with the best!

She answered all of our numerous questions within a short time frame, week after week. She gave such great suggestions for the wedding ceremony and reception timeline. She has really solid connections with several local vendors including hair and make up folks. She went above and beyond to find a hair stylist, make up artist, and barber for our wedding party. We originally tried to find people but were unable to and she worked tirelessly for weeks and we are so appreciative of her for that.

The one word that I have to describe her officiating the ceremony is spiritual. Although we shared a script with her, the parts she added on her own really touched us in a meaningful way. She moves with such grace and love. As she officiated our wedding we felt so held by her calming voice tone and grounded presence. Aida has such strong emotional intelligence and is such an incredibly gifted officiant. Aida, thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support! We really appreciate you!

Aida was the absolute best coordinator I could have asked for. She was so quick to respond to any of my million questions or adress any of my millions of concerns. She always had my back with whatever i wanted or needed. She handled all the vendors and everything that goes with that and all communications to all the vendors and she did such an amazing job I just have absolutely nothing bad to say. She thought of things even I did not. She was always on top of everything and I always felt completely at ease, which you know is not common to feel so at ease when planning a wedding. And i admit I'm very picky and needy and she just exceeded all my expectations and more. She gave me helpful advice and I just appreciate her and all of her amazing effort that made our day perfect. She is absolutely the best and I 100% recommend her to anybody looking in Puerto Rico for an event or wedding planner.
