The best decision!

Pilar was a pleasure to work with and helped make our day so smooth. You can trust her to get the job done! She is extremely organized, responsive, and professional. From our initial phone call I could tell she was very detail oriented and hard working. We were considering hiring her for full planning services and I appreciated her honesty in telling us since we'd already booked a couple vendors we'd be better off with a day of package. She was very helpful for random questions that came up throughout the process and met with us a couple weeks before the wedding to ensure a smooth transition. Her pricing was extremely reasonable, especially for the Miami area. I was truly able to sit back and enjoy the day thanks to Pilar. Can't recommend her enough!

The Elite Planner You Need!

To say we are very pleased we hired Pilar Pava Events is an understatement. Working with Pilar for your wedding or event is a no-brainer. Pilar made our lives so much easier. We hired Pilar for the full-service package and truly believe it was a great value.

She is extremely detail-oriented, very organized, and always responsive. We had an Indian wedding and an American wedding. The weekend included multiple days and many events. Pilar handled so much of the planning for us. There are things that Pilar will think about, and you don’t even know you need to consider.

Pilar found awesome vendors for us, handled layouts, timelines, and SO much more. We could tell she truly cared about our event. All our events were planned to perfection and went off without a hitch. In addition, every event was beautiful.

Many of our guests even commented that everything went so smoothly. That would not have happened without Pilar. She is a true professional and really excels when it comes to planning. She and her team worked so hard “day-of” that we were able to be totally stress-free, and that is such a great feeling.

We are so grateful to Pilar for everything she did. She’s wonderful at her job but also such a great person!

The best wedding planning decision we made!

Let this be the easiest wedding planning decision you make and work with Pilar Pava! What an incredible event planner and person.

My partner and I had discussed whether or not we needed a planner/coordinator for our wedding — and wow, we are so grateful that we chose to work with someone, and specifically chose Pilar Pava Events.

Pilar is extremely organized, detail-oriented, communicative and professional. I truly felt that she went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect, and I know there is a lot of behind-the-scenes effort and coordination amongst numerous vendors that goes into pulling together a large, complicated event. She executed on it flawlessly.

The day of our wedding, we were free from worrying about logistics or small details and trusted fully in Pilar’s capability, which she delivered on entirely. This allowed us to actually ENJOY our wedding.

Throughout the planning process, Pilar kept our vision and style in mind, helped us add personal touches, and helped us consider things that we never would have thought about on our own but made all the difference in our wedding.

I will truly miss working with her now that our wedding is behind us, and will always be grateful for the gigantic role she played in making our wedding the best weekend of our lives. Highly recommend!!
