Best Money We Spent

Oh my, I’m not even sure where to begin. To say Courtney and Shelby made our craziest dreams come true is both hyperbole, and accurate. My wife and I approached La Luz with a wedding weekend — a luxury, multi-day event with many twists and turns for our guests. We got to treat everyone with many surprises at the Four Seasons in Santa Fe, all brought to life by La Luz — from salsa and margarita icebreaker competitions, to friend swap events, to a reception twist where everyone had to look under their seat; Courtney and Shelby brought all of it to life. But the biggest surprise for us was how close of friends they became. Working with them was like working with your best, most organized, prompt, and ‘we’ll make it happen’ friends. They helped us through every detail, and crisis (like the wedding dress getting stained 5 days before the big day!) I can’t praise this group enough, and am ready to have them plan more than just our wedding!

Amazing service

La Luz made our day completely stress free - Courtney knew the answer to every question and kept all the little details together so that we wouldn't have to. I could not recommend them more for your special day. Courtney also handled all of our vendors and worked out problems with them that we didn't even have to hear about. 10/10 service, professionalism and above all, very fun and kind to work with!

Best Decision We Made – Our Wedding Was Flawless Thanks to Her!

We cannot recommend our wedding planner highly enough! From the very start, she was incredibly involved and organized, guiding us through every step of the process. We had monthly status calls to keep everything on track, and her attention to detail was unmatched. She was always responsive, no matter the time or day, and her insights were invaluable.

On the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. Every guest complimented us on how seamlessly everything flowed, with many saying it was one of the best weddings they'd ever attended. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our day without any stress. Honestly, hiring her was the best investment we could have made—we couldn't have done it without her!
