Profesionalismo/ Professionalism

If i could describe Novella with one word it would be Professionals. The connection and relationship they build with their brides goes beyond anything you can imagine. They take the time and dedication to understand your vision, design it and bring it to life. They are extremely honest when it come to budget. But at the end is your decision as a couple with what you want to go with. The three ladies are an incredible team, they are the perfect combination to the excellent service they provide. If close to your wedding date you feel stressed or nervous, dont be, they will solve it “TRUST ME”.
I left every single detail of my wedding on their hands and i can say im extremely thankful for their service.

We love you, Novella!

My husband and I got married on 2/26/2022 at Pearl Beach Club. I first reached out to Novella in December 2021 and knew instantly that Carlota was a true professional and someone I had to work with. Living in the US, I was nervous to plan a wedding in the DR as a Type A planner myself! The process is certainly different in DR (much more relaxed and less time needed to plan larger events) but TRUST THE PROCESS! Everything with Carlota and Liza was more than I could ever have imagined. I was able to meet Carlota at our decor trial and food tasting and I immediately felt as ease and calm just being in her presence. She is the best in the business and was very clearly respected by all of our vendors from photo, video, hair, make up, lighting, music, etc. She has your BACK! - She constantly was negotiating for us and suggesting the very best options for our day. It made all the difference being able to connect with her before our day. The day of our wedding she was constantly by my side with her team making sure everything went to plan. Liza for DECOR was AMAZING!! I can not say enough about her. What she brings to life on your wedding day is something I have NEVER seen before - it is absolutely STUNNING and you will be so PROUD and HAPPY!!

Our wedding was an absolute blast and party. We brought 125 people from the US to celebrate with us. People could not stop telling us how it was the best wedding they ever attended from start to finish and just how elegant and stunning everything was. The dance floor was electric and Novella has everything to do with keeping the day flowing as perfectly as you envision it.

I am so sad the planning is over as Carlota is such a joy and gave Patrick and I such a celebration that we and our guest could never forget. Thank you to the entire Novella team. I know it is not an easy job, but your hard work certainly does not go unnoticed by your clients. WE LOVE YOU!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
