Truly Stress-free!
Liliana and Cristina went above and beyond in both the planning and execution of my wedding. The planning process was so smooth and took little effort on my part because they led me through each step. They helped me make decisions and pushed me in the right direction knowing what I envisioned for my day. The day came together with no mishaps because they were on top of every single detail. They solved any problems before I even knew they existed. They were kind, professional, calming, and gracious. I couldn’t recommend them more if you are considering a wedding Puerto Rico!

Tropical Elegance Brought to Life
Working with Handcrafted Weds & Events was honestly one of the best decisions we made. They made the whole process feel so much less stressful, and their communication was always great from start to finish.
They really helped us stay within our budget while still finding amazing venues and vendors. Every recommendation they gave us ended up being perfect.
Liliana, Cristina, and the team truly felt like family by the end of it all. They were so supportive and really cared about making everything special for us. On the wedding day, everything came together so seamlessly, and we were actually able to just enjoy it without worrying about anything.
We’re still hearing from guests about how amazing everything was. I honestly can’t imagine what it would have been like without them. They made the whole experience so enjoyable.

Girl power
The gals at Handcrafted really delivered on our wedding day. We wanted to bring people to la isla del encanto and give our family and friends a taste of Puerto Rico. Planning a wedding is stressful but planning one thousands of miles away is even harder. With Handcrafted we didn’t have to worry, everything was taken care of and they listened to all our (mostly my) concerns. They took the wedding we wanted and gave us an elevated version we wouldn’t have been able to achieve on our own. It was better than all the reels, Pinterest boards and saved pics on my phone put together. On the day, I was able to let go, not easy for a type A bride, and enjoy it. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was the Boricua style celebration we wanted our guests to experience. Cristina and Liliana raised the bar of what a wedding should be and their vendors made it truly the best day ever.

Destination wedding planning made easy!
We could not have asked for a better team to help us plan our destination wedding than Liliana, Cristina and everyone at Handcrafted! As someone who works in the event industry (the Bride), it was a little nerve racking handing over one of the most important days of your life to a stranger. We interviewed about 10 local planners, and Liliana easily came out ahead of everyone. She won us over with her incredibly thoughtful and detailed planning strategy, and we also felt like we had the strongest chemistry with her team. She made planning so seamless for us, which was a great comfort doing everything long distance from our home in Nashville, TN. It was clear that all of the best vendors adore and respect the Handcrafted team because they prioritized meetings with us over couples who had our same wedding date. Fast-forward to the wedding weekend, it was literally perfection! I (the Bride again) was cool as a cucumber because I knew the Handcrafted team would ensure everything went smoothly. We could really focus on being present with our guests and enjoying the celebrations fully. The only minor drama was the power going off just before the first looks. I'm so thankful that Liliana was with me on the top floor of our hotel because she handled everything and kept us calm. All of our family and friends said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. I will trust no one but the Handcrafted team with our major family celebrations in the future.

Worth Their Weight in Gold!
Liliana, Cristina, and the HCW team are worth their weight in gold! They truly made the planning process "stress-free". They were well-organized, comprehensive, compassionate, and communicative. Their vendor recommendations were on point, and our wedding was FLAWLESS! We highly recommend them!

The best invesment
Liliana and Cristina were truly so fun and easy to work with!! They were always one step ahead and had every detail planned for. I was worried about time on the wedding day because I’m always late for everything but they of course planned ahead for that. I felt so relaxed and at ease on my wedding day and it was all due to their amazing planning and time management. They helped make my vision a reality and I will always be grateful to the Handcrafted team for that!! If you’re looking for a planner in PR, seriously look no further!! Thank you again Liliana and Cristina! ♥️

Spectacular Team!!!
There are just not enough words to express how absolutely extraordinary, Liliana, Cristina and team were. Wedding planning is stressful but when you have an amazing support team it makes the difference. They are professional, meticulous, extremely responsive, courteous, and so very thoughtful. They consistently provided invaluable feedback and options, always helping us add special touches along the way. And all of this was before the event. The day of our wedding they far exceeded any expectations we had. I don’t know what I would’ve done without them. Liliana was by my side every step of the way. Even our guests took the time out to say how wonderful they were. They truly handcrafted this experience for us!

Simply the best
Without a doubt Handcrafted is the mos amazing planning team you could think of. Dennis and I got married on august 6th at the beautiful Hotel El Convento in San Juan and everything turned out beyond what we could have imagined. All my guests from Colombia and México had an amazing time, as well as Dennis´ friends and family from Puerto Rico and USA.
Liliana and Cristina managed the time, all the vendors and our guests so wonderful that made us feel confident, relaxed and enjoy the day to the fullest. We are very thankful for the professional and lovely job Liliana did on our wedding.

The BEST wedding planner! Helped to make our day PERFECT!
What can I say about Liliana, Cristina and Handcrafted Weds?! I cannot say enough good things about them. Hiring Handcrafted Weds was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. From the moment we met with Liliana, we clicked! They provide a wonderful service, give you a ton of planning documents to help with the process, recommend the most wonderful vendors and are literally with you every step of the way. Our wedding went seamlessly because of the wonderful vendors they recommended and the strong relationships they have with the people they recommend. While their recommendations are spot on, they are not pushy and really listen to your wants and needs and support whatever decision you make.
They held multiple meetings with us via zoom, met with us twice in person for food tastings and site review when we happened to be in Puerto Rico last minute. On our wedding day, they remained with us, helped through getting ready, photos and the ceremony. I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day because they took care of it all. I put my trust in them and they really delivered to help us create the wedding of our dreams and we truly enjoyed every moment of the planning process and of our wedding day thanks to Handcrafted!! Thank you so much Liliana & Cristina. You cannot go wrong hiring this team to help plan your wedding- I would recommend them 100 times over!
