It has been over a month since our wedding in Tulum and I am still at a loss for words when its comes to trying to explain the significance that Mango Weddings had on our special day. Let me just preface this by saying that I have never attended a wedding before (yes, my OWN wedding was the first one I ever went to! ) so I was extremely nervous / anxious to plan. Not only this, but I was planning a destination wedding, site unseen, in the middle of covid-craziness. I knew I needed a planner, so after some research, I reached out to Mango Weddings. I received an almost immediate response from Anastasia, and never looked back :)
From our initial contact, Anastasia answered all my questions and then some. She provided me with example pricing spreadsheets, PDF presentations of venue options, and even went as far as reaching out to the ones I was interested in to provide me with date availability for the months we wanted to get married in. This was all BEFORE I even signed a contract. Once I picked a venue, date, and locked in a contract with them, the entire process from beginning to end was effortless. Anastasia handled almost all the communication with the vendors, scheduled calls whenever I wanted to touch base, was highly proficient and organized when it came to budgeting / tracking payments, provided so much helpful insight and always gave her honest opinion.
We landed in Mexico 5 days before the wedding. Anastasia met me about an hour outside the airport in Playa Del Carmen to collect final payment and day of wedding items. That was literally the only wedding "to do" I had all week. She took care of everything - and I mean EVERYTHING. On the day of our wedding I woke up and everything fell into place. You could not imagine a more perfect day, stress free day. From her counterpart Anna showing up to facilitate everything, to the makeup artists arriving, to the photographers arriving, the flowers being delivered, to the busses arriving. I didn't have my phone on me all day and all of this was coordinated behind the scenes it was seriously incredible. I showed up to the venue and walked down the isle and it was my first time seeing the entire set up, let alone the venue and it was more perfect than I ever could have imagined. All night long my husband and I had guests coming up to us telling us how beautiful everything was, how amazing everything flowed, how professional the vendors / workers were, etc. I get emotional thinking about it! Not to mention Anastasia also helped coordinate our rehearsal dinner AND organized covid tests for ALL of our guests prior to our flight departures back home.
I can not think of one thing that went wrong on our wedding day. Every single decision we made and vendor we chose was by the direction of Mango and we put our trust in them and it 10000% paid off. In many years when I look back at our wedding I will still think of Anastasia and the Mango team. It wouldn't have been possible without them. Best decision we ever made :)

Anastasia and her team at Mango help make the overwhelming feeling of planning a destination wedding all but disappear. They present and match you with vendors that align with your vision, and keep you organized throughout the process.

They flawlessly executed a welcome event on the beach for all 95 guests, plus the wedding day festivities.

They gave us the gift of being able to be fully present during our wedding weekend, because there was not one thing we needed to worry about knowing Mango was there.

As a wedding photographer myself, I have worked with countless planners professionally. But it was my turn to hire one for myself and my own wedding, and we cannot thank Anna enough for the incredible job she and her team did in making our wedding day so perfect. From start to finish, Mango Weddings & Events kept everything running smoothly and seamlessly, ensuring that every detail was taken care of.

Mango Weddings professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure that our day was everything we wanted it to be. We didn't have to worry about a single thing - they had everything under control and handled any issues that arose with ease and grace.

Looking back on our wedding day, we only have PERFECT memories, and we know that's because of the hard work and dedication of our planning team. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a planner who will go above and beyond to make their wedding day and planning experience unforgettable. Thank you again for EVERYTHING! We love you!
