DESTINATION WEDDINGS

Our specialty: whether you’ve always dreamed of a wedding on the beaches of Mexico, a vineyard in Napa, a ranch in Wyoming or a villa in Tuscany, we have the resources, on-the-ground partners and in-house foreign language capabilities (as needed) to plan your destination wedding weekend. For couples like you, we’ll design and plan multi-day experiences, from your welcome party to farewell brunch, all with our signature full-service design, planning and styling and the necessary accommodation and transportation elements required to make your weekend as enjoyable as possible for you and your guests.

We’ll also customize activities and excursions throughout the wedding weekend, where out of town guests can enjoy a variety of local experiences like wine tasting, hiking, balloon and bike tours, and more. For venues outside the U.S., we work with our local partners to blend the essence of local culture with your vision for a celebration that is uniquely you.

PARTIES & EVENTS

One of our favorite ways to continue our relationships with clients is through private celebrations. We love to plan and we don’t just do weddings…. In addition to workshops, styled shoots, and coaching sessions, we are also available to design and plan private events such as dinner parties, anniversary and birthday parties, baby showers, bar/bat mitzvahs and children’s parties with the impeccable taste and perfect execution that is synonymous with our event planning.

We LOVE Larissa!

Where do I even start! Larissa was the best thing that ever happened to us. I reached out to her not knowing where to start, only that I did not want to do any wedding planning other than saying yes or no.

From our first phone interview, we knew Larissa was the one! She was so easy to connect with, we had lots of laughs, and had full confidence in her just a few minutes into the phone call. Larissa is a breath of fresh air in a stressful situation, because come on, just thinking about everything you need for a wedding can take any bride out lol.

She was so respectful of our budget and extremely helpful in finding us ways to cut costs, but still have an absolutely beautiful outcome. She was there to comfort in times of panic (which were a few), and flexible with hours as we have twin toddlers and needed later meetings. She took the time to get to know us and what we liked to help cultivate a wedding that spoke true to our personalities, and by the end of it all, she really felt and still feels like family.

If you are lucky enough to snag Larissa, please consider yourself blessed. She’s an amazing human being and even more amazing at what she does. DO NOT THINK TWICE about reaching out she is THE one to go to!

Beach Wedding and Brewery Ceremony Perfection

Larissa was a joy to work with! She joined the wedding planning process when I really needed someone to ensure the day ran smoothly. She was organized, punctual, and she communicated in a timely manner! She definitely helped my vision come alive and was there for any questions or situations that came up on the big day! Larissa is talented and knows what she is doing. I highly recommend Larissa to anyone planning a wedding and who wants to their day to run smoothly and to have the wedding of their dreams!

Amazing Sidekick

I was on the fence about a day of coordinator (I was in 'do it all' mode) thinking I didn't need her. And whoo buddy was I wrong. Larissa got involved well before the day of, found a few flaws/things I overlooked in my plan and sorted it immediately. Leading up to the big day she was responsive and communicated timelines and left me to plan my hair and nails. Day of, I didn't need to lift a finger. Everything was handled, even my dress train. She then followed up and got my DIY decor back to me in a timely fashion (and flexible since I caught a cold on my honeymoon).

I don't wanna get married again, but if I do, I know who I'd trust. She did an amazing job with my special day.

Larissa is the BEST!

If you have the chance to work with Larissa, do it! My husband and I were planning a wedding in 2017 and on a whim met with Larissa. Initially, we were stressed about our short timeline (6 months) and it being a destination wedding. After meeting with her, all of our worries melted away. Not only is she super professional, but she's so warm and kind. We felt like we were working with a friend. She has great attention to detail and was so accommodating to our special requests. One request that stood out: I'm filipino and wanted to include lechon (whole roasted pig) on the menu. She was immediately excited about it and had the  chef prepare one. As if that wasn't enough, her mother, also filipino, made traditional sauces to go with it! Our guests loved it. To this day, people still rave about our wedding. Seriously, look no further than Larissa. You won't regret it!

Amazing wedding coordinator

Larissa was a dream to work with! Her bubbly personality immediately put me at ease and I knew she was the wedding coordinator I wanted to work with. On the day of the wedding she took care of every detail and it was a totally stress free day! She’s so talented in what she does and I would recommend working with her over and over again! Thank you so much for everything! You made our wedding day so memorable and we will never forget how special you made us feel! 💗💗💗

Fantastic Experience - Would Definitely Recommend!

Working with Larissa has been so wonderful from the very beginning. Every detail was attended to, communication has been and remains over the top, and she goes the extra mile in every way. Hopefully I wont need to work with her for another wedding but I definitely will use her again for another event!!
