About

Hello, and congratulations!

I'm Michelle, a passionate and certified wedding and event planner with an instinct for creating unforgettable experiences. My bachelors degree is Industrial Microbiology, later on I got my MBA in Business Administration, Project Management certification. I have 3 years of experience in planning and coordinating weddings in addition to 10+ years as a coordinator for large fundraising and corporate events. The largest event I have planned was for Alzheimer disease with 3,500 visitors and 57 vendors, while the most intimate event I have planned was a wedding for 12 guests. I love managing a big crowd and small private events - and I promise to bring my creativity, organization, and attention to detail to every occasion.

As an elder millennial attending and planning many weddings (and who had her own not too long ago!) I am well-versed in the latest trends and industry best practices - but I also bring my own innovative ideas to the table. I have my Wedding and Event Planner Certification and I’m also a Certified Bridal Assistant. Whether you envision a romantic elopement or an elegant garden party, I am here to bring your vision to life in a way that reflects your unique style and personality. I understand the significance of your big day and the commitment you are making to one another, and I aim to exceed your expectations. With my trusty clipboard in hand I'll take care of all the nitty-gritty details so you can focus on enjoying the celebration of a lifetime.

So, grab your confetti, your fireworks, your pitorro - and let's embark on this incredible journey together. Let the wedding planning begin!

Michelle is the best!

Michelle helped us create an incredible wedding weekend, which included wedding and Sangeet. She was organized, detail-oriented, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. Thanks to her thorough preparation and seamless coordination, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend in Puerto Rico! We highly recommend Michelle to any couple looking for a planner who truly cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to help create a memorable wedding experience!

Our wedding could not have been possible without Michelle!

Michelle - your talent cannot go unnoticed. You have a gift to anticipate everything and put so much attention and detail into every element of the entire day and night. Man did we challenge you 😅 and you did not miss a beat. It is rare that everything one plans is executed exactly as you dreamed it (or better). Because of you our dreams came true. I will forever be grateful that YOU led us through one of the most important days of our lives. We could not have been in better hands. 🤍

Desde el fondo de mi corazón, gracias.

PS - our parents could not stop telling us how amazing you were and how grateful they were that you were there with us.

You should 100% book Michelle for your wedding!

Michelle is the ultimate wedding planner. Throughout the entire process, she was organized, fun, and incredibly easy to work with—plus, her vendor connections in Puerto Rico are second to none. She made the planning phase completely seamless, but she truly shined on the day of the wedding. Not a single detail was missed, and she constantly checked in on us to ensure our day felt special. Michelle has a perfect sense of when to involve the couple and when to handle situations quietly behind the scenes. We feel so lucky to have had her by our side and wouldn't have had it any other way. 10/10—highly recommend a million times over!

The Most Incredible Day.

I had the most incredible wedding - and it was all thanks to Michelle. She made the wedding planning process so smooth - from the welcome call, to every check in and text in between - to even responding to my late night texts when I was freaking out about a miniscule detail. I had the pleasure to meet Michelle 2 months after I was engaged - to when we had finally booked the venue, I was 3 months pregnant. Michelle was SO incredibly kind and patient with me, making sure I had everything I needed to make my day as smooth as possible. I couldn't imagine having the wedding of my dreams without her.

My guests were so complimentary throughout - it was the best wedding they had ever been to - and it was all thanks to Michelle's trusted vendors who were worth every penny. I would 100% recommend Michelle to any English speaking bride who is from the states looking for someone on the island who will coordinate everything you need. She is truly the best.

We are already thinking about when we can have a vow renewal to do this all again! Thank you Michelle!!

She is just the best

Michelle and her team are quite literally the best you can ask for. They had our back throughout the whole process. Never had a no and helped us with every little(or big) request we had. Our wedding couldn’t have been as beautiful and smooth as it was without the help of Mich. Love you Michelle ❤️

Made my long distance DIY dreams come true

Michelle saved the day for us like a year out from our NYC->PR boda & made everything happen with insight, knowledge, ease, professionalism, a bit of hilarity & all of the platforms / research one could ever possibly need. I was very specific about wanting a book-themed mostly DIY wedding & she had the right connections and touches for everything. Worked tirelessly to ensure just the right amount of detail. We did it non traditionally in more ways than one & michelle caught all of the vibes & gave us the best day of our lives. Could not recommend her more!

The Wedding Planner Every Bride Deserves

I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without Michelle. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From our first meeting, she brought such a calm, confident energy to the planning process, and on the wedding day, she completely took control in the best way possible. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing because she had it all handled - smoothly, gracefully, and with so much heart.
My entire bridal party & family loved her and kept saying how amazing she was. She kept everything on track, made sure we were all taken care of, and still managed to make the day feel relaxed and joyful. Every detail was perfect, and the whole day flowed so naturally because of her.
My wedding was more beautiful than I ever imagined, and I truly couldn’t have done it without her. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, do it. She’s the best decision I made (besides marrying my husband of course!)

Brings your vision to life.

Michelle was undoubtedly the best planner for us. From day one, she was super responsive and helped bring our vision to life. She made sure all the details we cared about were incorporated into our special day in the most perfect way. She was also our number one support on the day of the wedding. She made sure no detail was left behind and helped make the day look effortless. She takes care of the bride and groom and makes sure you have the best day of your life. We couldn't have gotten through the wedding planning process without her. We're forever grateful for her.

Loved Michelle & Her Team

Michelle was amazing to work with from the beginning of planning to the end of the big day. If you are on the fence of hiring a coordinator, do it. It is 100% worth it. Especially if you are planning a destination wedding. Having a coordinator that is experienced and knows the vendor landscape is so crucial. Michelle keeps everything organized from the vendors, to the payments, to all the little details. Truly a fantastic team to work with!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
