Reviews of Marianella Murillo - Wedding & Event Planner

Amazing Experience!

Marianella is an absolute professional and I am so lucky that my husband and I found her. I was worried about planning a destination wedding and Marianella made it as easy as possible. She held weekly calls with me to go through the status of all the items. She provided multiple options for vendors rather than pushing just one. She coordinated with all my guests and even helped me do some last minute shopping in Costa Rica. She was so on top of everything for our welcome reception and our wedding and everything went smoothly. She is wonderful and I recommend her to anyone looking to have a wedding in Costa Rica.

The Best Costa Rica Wedding Planner!

Marianella helped us organize our wedding in 2021. We hired her in 2020, just before the pandemic, so she had many moving parts and ongoing changes to stay on top of and manage throughout the process. She did a stellar job!

It was important to us to hire someone born and raised in Costa Rica who could share her cultural expertise alongside her wedding expertise. Marianella was the perfect fit for us. She used her many connections to find us the perfect venue, multiple housing options for our guests, an amazing makeup artist, gorgeous flowers, a top-notch photographer, a super fun acoustic band for the ceremony and happy hour, and the perfect DJ for dancing. We still receive compliments on the venue, the food (who remembers the food at weddings), and the band and DJ!

As if this wasn't enough, Marianella organized tours and transfers for our entire group of visiting family and friends. We still use some of her recommended vendors today when we visit!

Look no further for your wedding and event needs!

Boda - torres & chavarría

Fue una experiencia maravillosa, Maríanela demostró desde la primera reunión, un compromiso, alegría, profesionalismo, siempre nos guió a elegir lo que más nos identificaba como pareja y así que nuestra Boda fuera lo que siempre quisimos.
El día del evento, cada detalle fluyó, ella estuvo atenta en cada detalle, la organización, orden fue la clave para que nuestra Boda fuera un éxito y todos quedáramos felices.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
