A Planner After My Own Heart

When my husband and I booked our destination wedding 18 months in advance, the absolute last thought on our minds was that the venue we originally contracted was going to close their doors in June of 2025 sending 300+ couples in disarray, panic and heartbreak. That is where Tui & the Blue Butterfly Events team stepped in and literally saved the day! Truly, I believe if not for Tui, I would have either had to reschedule our wedding completely, compromised for a different country altogether or settled for none of what my husband and I wanted for our big day.

As a wedding planner myself for 13+ seasons, I knew what I was looking for in a destination wedding planner and I knew after meeting Tui, she reminded me of myself and I needed her as a part of my Dream Team for my own wedding day. We discussed visions, shared inspiration pics, had countless planning meetings, and she pulled everything off flawlessly - beyond my wildest dreams. Tui has amazing connections with every vendor we needed, she made sure everything was exactly in place and on time. I cannot thank or recommend Tui and the Blue Butterfly team enough for literally making my dreams into a reality.

From one planner to another, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You were a dream to work with. Pura Vida! Much love!

Tropical Wedding

Tui was amazing to work with!!! She planned my sisters wedding in costa rica while we live in CA. Everything was taken care of so my sister could enjoy her wedding and guests and not have to worry about the execution of the day. Tui and her team were fun and showed all of a great time. Her attention to detail was off the charts. She is a true butterfly!!!

I could not have done our Costa Rican wedding without Blue Butterfly Events. Tui and Audri (Adriana) made it such an incredible and stress free experience. Tui listened to our vision and took us to so many beautiful locations. We found the perfect venue and we couldn't have dreamed of a better location. She has a list of stylists, photographers, bands, DJs, decorators, performers, etc.... She got to know us well and everyone we hired were phenomenal. Tui kept in contact with me once a month to make a few decisions and keep everything on track. She is extremely organized. I did a few things at a time and never felt overwhelmed with the planning process. Audri handled the logistics of all of our guests travel needs. She will book flights, arrange shuttles, rent you a car, handle hotel blocks, book excusions with a 10% discount, etc.... She'll even play with your kids and assist you with childcare. Every question or problem one of our guests encountered, Audri was on top of it. She has such a positive energy and I loved how she corresponded with all of our guests. In summation, if you want to work with good people, people that listen and will make your special day seamless: hire Blue Butterfly Events.

The biggest suggestion I can give you when planning a destination wedding is to create a website with all of your travel plans, schedule, dress codes, and frequently ask questions. We used the Knot but there are several planning sites available. It's extremely easy but time consuming. However, it will save you a lot of time in the long run with texts and calls from your guests.

Volcano/waterfall wedding!

I can't say enough good things about Tui and her team! They turned our dream of a wedding in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, into a breathtaking reality. The way they incorporated the stunning volcano and waterfall into our ceremony and reception was pure magic. Every detail was perfectly executed, from the flowers to the lighting, and they handled all the logistics with such professionalism and ease. Our guests were blown away by the unique and unforgettable setting. If you're looking for a planner who can create a truly extraordinary wedding experience, look no further! Thank you so much for making the process seamless and memorable!

Costa Rican Dream Wedding Thanks To Blue Butterfly

Tui at Blue Butterfly Events is absolutely incredible! Planning a wedding, especially in another country, could have been a stress-inducing experience but she incorporated so much expertise, kindness, and patience in her guidance that it was anything but stressful!

The team and vendors that Tui works with were so knowledgeable and they did an amazing job at harnessing the vibe we wanted and bringing it to life in every way imaginable - from venue to florals to cake to food to music to design - everything was beautiful and even better than my wildest dreams!

Tui was so organized and helpful leading up to and during the wedding - it really made the whole day seamless. Tui and her team also made traveling with 40 people seem easy - they were always available to answer questions while we were there and they set up the best excursions for us and our guests as well!

If you are considering planning a wedding in Costa Rica I can’t recommend Blue Butterfly enough - you definitely won’t regret it!!

Our Dream Wedding

Blue Butterly Events created my husband's and my dream wedding... and we had no idea how magical it would be. Without a doubt, it was the happiest day of our lives {so far} and we cannot help but glow when we remember each moment.

Tui is incredibly intuitive, thoughtful, creative, professional, playful and efficient... all at once. How is that possible? Don't question it, just book her immediately.

Not only did Tui have an amazing sense of who we were as a couple, she knew exactly which vendors to match us with to make our wedding dreams come true. The venue was extraordinary {two waterfalls and easy to get to!}, the florals were gorgeous, my hair and makeup were on point... it is a day that we will remember filled with love, beauty, happiness and ease.

If you want a stress free, amazing wedding, talk to Tui. She will make it happen.

Vow renewal at El Salto

Blue Butterfly Events was the best choice I made involving my husband and i's vow renewal. From the moment I was referred to her from the hotel we were staying in I felt so relaxed and comfortable knowing I didn't have to do much at all. Tui had lists of venues, photographers (Use Fabian - he was amazing also), pictures of flowers and everything we needed for our ceremony. I truly enjoyed knowing that she had everything under control so I didn't have to worry about a thing! Tui is so amazing that I'm going to miss planning with her! (Pictures below were our pictures taken, not the photographer)

Dream planner

Tui and her team really listened to my dream and made it come to life. I am the first in my family to get married which made it difficult for them to trust the process, especially since it was a destination, but Tui took the time to help educate. When I asked for something that hadn’t been done before she put in the leg work, literally, to make it happen!
