I was able to enjoy my wedding to the fullest thanks to Dora!

Bride stress? NONE! Dealing with last minute situations? NONE! Wedding planning headaches? NONE!

Dora made sure that all that me and my future husband had to do was to be present in the moment and enjoy our wedding. She puts her 1,000% on making sure that every detail is perfect. We had a destination wedding (grooms family came from UK) and it was a lot of logistic planning but she delivered. Thank you Dora!!! Our wedding day wouldn't have been that beautiful and perfect if it wasn't for you.

Dora is the BEST! Cannot recommend enough.

We had the immense pleasure of working with the incredible Dora Thillet as our wedding planner, and there aren't enough words to express just how exceptional her services were. From the very beginning, Dora proved herself to be a true gem in the world of wedding planning.

Dora's attention to detail is absolutely remarkable. She leaves no stone unturned, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was picture-perfect. Her meticulous planning and execution made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. We were able to enjoy every moment of our special day, thanks to Dora's expertise.

Communication is key in any successful wedding planning process, and Dora truly excels in this area. She was not only responsive but also proactive in keeping us informed and updated. Her ability to listen to our ideas and turn them into a reality was truly impressive. Dora made us feel heard and valued, and her enthusiasm for our wedding was infectious.

What truly sets Dora apart is her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients. Two examples stand out vividly in our minds. Firstly, Dora allowed us to ship essential items to her home in Puerto Rico, a kind gesture that made a world of difference since we were based in California. This level of flexibility and dedication is truly rare to find.

Secondly, Dora's commitment to making our wedding day unforgettable was evident when she met up with us multiple times in Old San Juan before and after the wedding. These extra efforts for drop-offs, pick-ups, and coordination showcased her dedication and her genuine desire to make our day perfect.

Dora Thillet is not just a wedding planner; she's a true wedding magician. She transformed our dreams into a beautiful reality, and we couldn't be more grateful. With Dora at the helm, you can trust that your wedding day will be everything you've ever imagined and more. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is detail-oriented, a master of communication, and someone who will go the extra mile for you, look no further than Dora Thillet. She's a wedding planner extraordinaire, and we can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Dora, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

The best Wedding Planner

Dora, thank you for all your support and guidance throughout this time. Dora was not just my wedding planner, but my psychologist and friend. She kept cool before and during the wedding. My venue was open and it decided to rain before, during and after the event. She managed it like a pro. She came up with plan B for everything, organized every detail and kept the calm for me and my invites. She help me get the best vendors in the world that made out day a memorable one. And even though we were on a schedule and a plan, she also allowed us to run the show how we were comfortable. She is super professional and very responsible. Honestly, we enjoyed every single second of our event and we didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much Dora. We would pick you a million times more.

You need dora!

-From the first email to the dance floor, Dora was there for everything. We have her in our wedding pictures because she was just such a lovely and integral part of our wedding who now feels like family.

-She knew every single vendor and worked fantastic with all of them. She was kind and reassuring, but always advocated for us and was ready to put her (tiny) foot down at any moment! Her assistant (and daughter, support family business!) ran the show the day of the wedding!

-Fairly priced, always responsive and communicative, organized, so kind, and patient. She is everything you need, especially if you are planning a destination from afar like we did.

-Cannot recommend enough. Some photos can be seen on my IG: @remytherockstar, or if you are like us you will get real excited following @oldsanjuanweddings

Took minimal idea to magical dream

We couldn’t have picked a better wedding planner. Dora was able to take our vision and turn it into so much more than we could’ve imagined. She had a lot to deal with given my husband and I knew more what we didn’t want than what we wanted. She was able to visualize the vague concept, use her amazing expertise and transform it into reality. Dora encouraged our need to be different and would suggest vendors based on those ideas. She was never pushy, though and gave us lots of options to explore. Not only did we love it, but ALL of our guests raved about the experience. We loved Dora and hope we get the chance to express our gratitude in person soon!

Fantastic, knowledgeable and advocate

I hired Dora for my daughter-in-law to help her with her destination wedding. Dora was such a calming, knowledgeable, advocate for her. So grateful for her talent and friendly disposition. The wedding could not have been pulled off so efficiently without Dora’s help!

If you are deciding between planners just book Dora

Planning a destination wedding is hard but Dora made the entire process very easy! Her calm presence during the day was so appreciated and she made us feel at ease the entire day. We had rain on the forecast at our outdoor venue and she knew to shift the ceremony 30 minutes earlier so we could still have it outdoors. Because of this we were able to have the ceremony of our dreams and have all our photos outdoors which was important to us! Thank you Dora you will always be such a special person to us!

Amazing planner !

Dora was an amazing planner! My wedding would’ve not been the same without her. During the months coming up to the wedding, She was so responsive with every question we had and made sure everything was done how we wanted it even though we live in Connecticut. She made a timeline for the wedding and everything was perfect. At the wedding, she was so efficient and made sure everything was going smoothly. Before we contracted Dora my husband was on the fence to either get a planner or not. But as soon as he met Dora and saw her work at the rehearsal and wedding he was sooo happy we got Dora. Thank you Dora our wedding was perfect!

Dora is Incredible!

Dora was an amazing coordinator and event planner! My husband and I live in Boston, but I grew up in Puerto Rico, and my dream was to marry in my hometown of Hatillo. We could not have done it without, Dora! She took care of every detail and made our day absolutely magical, even after we had to reschedule our wedding twice in the course of two years due to the pandemic. She thought through all the details and found us, vendors that met all our needs, including a catering service that accommodated our special request for having a mix of Puerto Rican and Indian food (my husband grew up in India). And on the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly and without a worry, thanks to her. I could not recommend Dora enough.
