Hiring Melissa Betancourt as our wedding planner was without a doubt the best decision! Her warm and bubbly personality combined with her knowledge of Miami vendors, hotels and venues really put us at ease while planning long-distance from New York. The level of care she put into everything was amazing, and her genuine desire to make sure we were happy with the outcome was clear from the start. If I changed my mind or came up with a new concept, she was always flexible and willing to make it happen for us. She used her expertise to advise us in areas to save and where to spend, and was really helpful in prioritizing what was most valuable for our big day. She was very conscious of our budget and presented us with the highest quality vendors that fell within those parameters and they all knocked it out of the park.

On our wedding day everything felt completely effortless on our end. I know Melissa put in hard work to ensure that things were running smoothly, and I can’t thank her enough for making me feel stress free while enjoying the best day of our lives. She went above and beyond and I am so grateful to her and her team!

Everything came together on our wedding day exactly how we hoped it would because of the brilliant team at Luxurious Events. They heard us out in all of our wild and unconventional visions from the first meeting and executed them without a hitch at one of the trickiest, strictest venues to navigate.

They were 100% transparent with us throughout the entire planning process and went above and beyond to make sure that we could practically and successfully execute every request that we had, so that there was no risk for disappointment.

We were really picky about what we wanted for wedding day—from the music, to the layout, to the timeline itself—but Melissa and Dani let us make the call every step of the way, while bringing the expertise and support that we needed to make it happen. They matched us with the right vendors that jived with our vision, (and they work with the best of the best!). Especially when it came to our wild request to find musicians that could play along to every single song we wanted to hear.

If we could do this day a thousand times over, we’d choose to work with Luxurious Events every single time! These ladies will become your friends and genuinely have your back through every little detail. Thank you for sending us off into marriage in the perfectly “us” way we dreamed of. :)

We’re so grateful to our wedding planner, Melissa, for helping bring our big day to life! From vendor coordination to timeline management, she kept everything moving and helped us stay organized through the planning process.

The day came together beautifully, and we appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness, and calm presence leading up to and during the event.

Thank you for helping us create such a special and memorable celebration!

We worked with Melissa Betancourt from Luxurious Events for over a year. We had no doubt after our first meeting with her that she was the wedding planner we wanted to work with. She definitely captured our vision and gave us brilliant ideas that elevated the wedding to new heights. This Planner has an excellent team that was always willing to help, including Daniella who was also exceptional. The team also has excellent relationships with so many vendors, and Melissa was able to negotiate the best prices and services and pass on their excellent pricing and discounts to us. Melissa kept us so well organized with monthly emails and check in calls so that it never felt stressful. She also accommodated our busy work schedules and met us after hours. More importantly, Melissa always made us feel as a priority and as if though we were her only client (which we know we weren't). As the wedding date approached and we were worried about the weather, she had everything lined up for a plan B, which fortunately was never needed because we were blessed with beautiful weather, but the fact that she had everything ready as a backup made us feel more relaxed. The wedding turnout out to be absolutely MAGICAL. Every guest and even vendors commented on the timeless and beautiful wedding which looked like a fairytale. This would not have been possible without our wedding planner, Melissa Betancourt and the team at Luxurious Events.

Melissa always kept our interest in mind that heart. We both have really busy schedules as surgeons in training and she kept us organized and on track for the whole time at the wedding. She made sure to keep us conscious about the budget, which is something that was very important to my husband, and she took that into account. However, she also went above and beyond to find vendors or reach out to places to find things that I wanted, or that were equivalent in my price range. We have crazy hours in Madison and even with our work schedules. She would always make time and flexibility to take our phone calls or answer us at evening time or whenever it was good for us from a work standpoint there were so many times she would fight for us with vendors, if they were issues and she was always your biggest proponent to get what you wanted for the wedding. When I was worried about my vision being lost or something, not being what I wanted, she would make sure to get me more options and she would he really hear my concerns and deliver. She brought in other people from other departments of our team. She really cared and always made me feel calm, relax, and taken care of which was a huge huge component of planning a wedding. Do you want someone that really listens to you, cares about you, will fight for you about pricing and vendors and timing, and basically deliver your vision while still keeping your goals in mind and this is exactly what she did on top of that. She has a great personality and has fun and easy to talk to the whole team including the florist and both Melissas were a joy to work with!!

even on the days that she was not planning my events, she help me and give me advice for venues for my rehearsal dinner, and after party. She went above, and beyond honestly to make you feel very taken care of, and like your wedding was the only thing she was planning!

If you’re thinking about hiring them DO IT! my wedding was a DREAM and it was made into reality because of them!!!!

I hired Luxurious Events for my wedding at Vizcaya Museum in May, 2023. I was paired with Melissa Betancourt, who was truly incredible. We are based in Washington, DC, and Melissa was amazing at helping us maximize our time when we came down to Florida so that we could get everything done in the most efficient way possible. She was excellent at handling my large family and providing recommendations for us for rehearsal dinner spots and hotel blocks since we were out of town. The big day went perfectly and everything went off with zero issues - which is pretty unheard of for a large wedding. If you are getting at Vizcaya especially, hiring LE is an absolute MUST - there are so many rules and requirements that come along with this venue, and LE navigated all of them perfectly. Seriously, I cannot thank Melissa and the LE team enough for their hard work. Our day was perfect and I would recommend them to any couple getting married in Miami. THANK YOU, LUXURIOUS EVENTS!!

Melissa was a joy to work with. She knew what I was looking for and was patient through the whole process. She made sure that I understood everything and that I was happy with everything. Her recommendations were always wanted and great to work with.

Amazing, speedy response, professional, amazing at planning your dream wedding. Melissa was able to execute my vision better than I could articulate it. 10/10 recommend.

We had the most incredible experience with Melissa and her team at Luxurious Events. Friendly, prompt, organized, flexible, empathetic, knowledgeable, savvy, well connected - everything you need in a planner. We started working with Melissa in March of 2019 for our March 2020 wedding. We had to postpone just 10 days before our 180 person wedding and moved it...twice. Melissa never complained and always jumped in to help and coordinate changes very quickly. She literally had our wedding fully rebooked in less than 48 hours. She never pressured me into choices and gave me multiple options for every vendor. The vendors we used that she recommended were incredibly friendly and professional. We did use her floral company and our jaws were on the floor walking into the tent - incredible value and execution. She was impressive in the planning phase but when the wedding weekend finally came 3/20/22, let me tell you what - we were ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. Her attention to detail, level of production and coordination, and true care for us was something I had never experienced before. it was a large outdoor wedding with lots of weather threats and she stayed cool as could be and handled EVERYTHING. I have never felt more taken care of and I am 100% positive we would not have had the absolute dream wedding we had without her.

We could have not worked with a greater planner in Miami. Melissa and her team are prompt, professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, creative, dedicated and they hold a relationship with great vendors in Florida. One of the greatest decisions we made for this special moment in our life was working with Luxurious Events. We hope to work with LE again in the future and we recommend all engaged couples looking for a dream wedding experience to work alongside Melissa and her team.
