Ise Chaves and her team at Red Velvet are a Godsend!

I am so thankful I found Red Velvet Weddings! This team created a wedding that perfectly embodied my groom's and I's personality and vision. The type of experience that I could not have even imagined in my wildest dreams. Ise is super kind, professional, and gets the job done! She leaves no stone unturned and if she says she will do something, rest assured she will follow through. Of course it's scary planning an entire wedding from another country, but I knew I was in good hands the entire time with Ise. I honestly can't put into words how thoroughly and perfectly the team executed our wedding. If you want an authentic Costa Rican wedding polished off with luxury, grandeur, and absolute gorgeous perfection, hire Red Velvet Weddings! The genuine words "best wedding I've ever been to" came from the mouths of every single one of our guests.

We had the best experience with Ise, Mari and Lola with RVW. They were so communicative and made the wedding planning process SO much easier and fun. They work with amazing vendors and listened to our every need to make sure we had the day of our dreams. Even last minute details & changes were handled professionally and seamlessly. Thank you Red Velvet Weddings!! ❤️

February 2024 Wedding

Ise and the Red Velvet team did a phenomenal job for our destination Costa Rica wedding. We could not have asked for a more organized, communicative, flexible, and creative team. We are so grateful the Red Velvet team was by our side throughout the entire planning process, welcome party, rehearsal, and wedding day. It was a blessing to not have to worry about a thing! We cannot thank them enough and would highly recommend the Red Velvet team for your wedding!

Hi there! First of all, congratulations on your engagement! My name is Isella but you can call me Ise! I have almost 10 years of experience on the hospitality industry working with big companies such as Riu Hotels, AMResort and the one where I found my vocation, Hyatt.

I dedicated the last 4 years to plan weddings which became my passion! I am a detail oriented person that love to keep control of things all the time, I think that's one of the reasons why I am such a good planner.

2020 has been a hard year for everyone, but since I like to see the bright side of every situation, has been also the year to reinvent ourselves and make a good use of the time at home, this is why I decided to start my own business, Red Velvet Weddings, an small company dedicated to be part of celebrations of love all around my little and magical country.

Planning a wedding should be fun, let me make sure that yours is!
