MGT Events

My husband and I are Puerto Ricans living on the mainland, and MGT Events LLC was absolutely instrumental in helping us plan our dream wedding back on the island in August over the past year. We had a very specific vision for a celebration that truly reflected our culture, and she not only understood that—she embraced it and made it better than we could have imagined. Planning from afar seemed daunting, but she was an absolute professional and a calming presence from start to finish.

Her pricing was very reasonable, especially for the immense value and peace of mind she provided to a couple planning remotely. She was always highly responsive and truly listened to our vision, collaborating with us to accomplish everything we wanted.

A huge weight was lifted off our shoulders with her handling of all the logistics on the ground. She seamlessly integrated vendors we had found with her own trusted network, managing all the day-to-day communications and coordination. Her team was fantastic, consistently offering creative ideas that helped formulate and enhance our vision for the day.

Her crucial, honest guidance about the realities of planning a wedding in Puerto Rico was a lifesaver. She prepared us for the different timelines and vendor processes compared to the mainland, managing our expectations around communication and payment methods. This local expertise was invaluable for us planning from a distance and prevented so much potential stress, ensuring our authentic Puerto Rican celebration was seamless and true to our roots.

We never felt she was making decisions just to make herself look good; every suggestion was made with our best interests at heart, ultimately creating the vibrant, genuine Puerto Rican wedding experience we had always wanted. If you're planning a destination wedding in Puerto Rico, especially from the mainland, we cannot recommend MGT Events LLC highly enough

Working alongside MGT Events for a wedding in Rincón, Puerto Rico was a seamless experience from start to finish. As an event vendor, you can immediately tell when a team has their process locked in—and MGT does.

Communication was clear, timely, and consistent leading up to the event, which made preparation straightforward on our end. During the wedding itself, their coordination was efficient and well-managed, allowing every vendor to focus on execution without unnecessary friction.

The MGT team was present, attentive, and solution-oriented throughout the event. When adjustments were needed—as is normal in live events—they handled everything professionally and without disruption.

We’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with MGT Events on smaller-scale events, and the level of organization and professionalism has been consistent across the board.

From a vendor perspective, working with a team like MGT Events makes a real difference. It’s the kind of partnership that leads to better events overall.

As a Master of Ceremonies contractor and assistant coordinator, it is always a pleasure working with Mariela from MGT Events—Mariela Gonzalez Tardy

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for each client truly set her apart. Mariela consistently goes the extra mile to ensure that every special day and every event becomes a memorable, seamless experience. What stands out most is her ability to focus on the unique details and meaningful moments that make each celebration personal and unforgettable.

Seeing firsthand how much she genuinely cares is what makes her—and her entire team—so exceptional. That level of dedication is rare, and it’s exactly what makes MGT Events such a standout company.

I’m always proud to be called back to work alongside her, time and time again.

We got married in Rincon PR
Planned from afar and needed guidance.
Mariela was kind and communicative during the entire process. Reviewing our vendor agreements, planning the logistics and executing them accordingly on the wedding day.
Brenda was amazing as well during the day.
Couldn’t make it with out them.

brenda and mariela were fantastic. my husband and I were engaged for 18 months and i’m surprised mariela wasn’t tired of me by the wedding lol. in all seriousness, they are truly good at what they do. we had some hiccups but mariela and brenda kept us calm and helped us problem solve. for me, it was hard to relinquish control and fully trust someone else but I am so glad we had MGT to back us up. we are going to miss them dearly considering they were a huge part of our journey. it’s not going to be the same without talking to mariela every day haha

Mariela and her team are the BEST. I initially reached out to Mariela when I saw another HSA bride describe her as her "fairy godmother" and I can attest that she fit the role perfectly. We hired her more than a year before our wedding date, and she was so supportive the entire time. She's organized, professional, and responded to every question I had during the planning process, big or small. Having her expertise made planning a destination wedding fun instead of stressful. She has relationships with so many vendors in PR, and helped cultivate an amazing team for our wedding day. I loved everyone that we worked with, and you could tell they all enjoyed working together, as well. Throughout our wedding week, she went above and beyond to help with our welcome event, hotel block, transportation, and even helped me mail my bouquet when I decided last minute to preserve it. I know logistics can go wrong during a wedding, but we never had to deal with any issues. Mariela and Brenda anticipated everything we could need, including cups of water during our family photos! Mariela was on top of the schedule, and tracked the weather down to the minute it was going to rain, and the minute it was going to stop, so we could plan our backup space ceremony without our guests getting soaked. I think a wedding planner is one of the most important vendors a couple can book, and I am so glad we found MGT Events! Highly recommend!

We cannot say enough positive things about working with MGT Events. Mariela and Brenda helped us put together our wedding. We fell in love with the venue and Mariela and Brenda really helped us capture the magic of the Hacienda Siesta Alegre and showcase why we fell in love with the venue to the guests. Mariela was supportive and responsive throughout the wedding planning process and all of the vendors that she recommended were amazing and really helped capture the vibe we were looking for. I would not hesitate to recommend MGT events to anyone planning a wedding!

It went so well. The wedding planner catered to everyone detail and wish that I had for my wedding. She made ghe process so much easier. Especially being a destination wedding. I was so surprised at the help and support I was given om the day of my wedding. It was a beautiful moment for me. Thank you. I am forever grateful.

Mariela and her team were incredibly attentive and supportive. I can’t thank them enough for making my big day truly special. I’m so glad I chose them!

Mariela and Brenda were amazing to work with! From the moment I had a consultation call with Mariela, I knew her and her team would be the absolute perfect fit for my wedding planning needs. Being a destination wedding, I was able to ship a few things to Mariela’s office beforehand which was super helpful. She kept us on track with all vendors, checklists, to-dos, and referred to us some amazing vendors we were missing. On the wedding day, everything was so flawlessly and seamless. Everything was absolutely perfect and it’s all thanks to MGT events!!!! They made sure everything flowed so well, they executed every single detail exactly how I envisioned it, and even when I threw last minute ideas out at them on the day of, they were able to incorporate it into the timeline with no issues. They went above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend them more!!! I actually told my husband, I wish we had another event we needed to plan so we could work with them again! lol. Our families also all commented on how professional and wonderful the planning team was! They were so impressed by everything that Mariela, Brenda, and team handled and executed to make the day absolutely perfect. I’m still dreaming of my big day in April, and my wedding was beyond my wildest dreams thanks to this incredible team. 100/10 recommend, please book with them, you will not be disappointed!!!!
