Simply the best in the biz!

We highly recommend using Red Velvet Wedding for your wedding planning. The team is professional, organized, and communicative. Ise is a wonderful planner. She knows the ins and outs (and everything in between) of planning your perfect wedding. She's committed to making your wedding day/weekend/experience wonderful in every way possible. She excelled every expectation for us as we were planning our Costa Rica wedding with her remotely from our home in New York. She was always available to address any new ideas or thoughts we had. Ise and her team are creative and organized. They are also amazing during the wedding weekend. Everything was on time, organized, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. All of our guests were amazed at the thoughtfulness in every detail of the wedding. We had 3 days of events, in 3 separate venues across the entire peninsula Papagayo. It was a complicated wedding to plan that Ise and her team tackled with an ease and professionalism that was comforting throughout the entire process. Bottom line - if you are getting married...you have to work with Red Velvet Wedding, Ise, and her team!

We had the best wedding thanks to this amazing team!

We live in NY and knew we wanted to celebrate our big day in a country that means so much to us. Nothing would have been possible if it wasn’t for this incredible team. We knew Red Velvet was the right choice as soon as we finished our first virtual call. Every month we met via zoom and they made this wedding process feel smooth and stress free. Every detail was accounted for. Ise, Mariela and Cristina just get it. The moment my husband and I had our first look of the reception will be a moment I remember for the rest of my life. They exceeded all of our expectations! The only thing I have to warn anyone about is how much you’re going to miss the monthly meetings once the wedding is over lol! If anyone is considering getting married in Costa Rica, I promise you hiring Red Velvet as your planners will be the best decision you can ever make!

The Aroh Wedding

Our wedding could not have been more perfect! We knew from the moment that we met Isella & her team that we were in good hands. From helping us to choose the right location at the Andaz, finding the most incredible vendors, and being there through the creative process of making the wedding of our dreams. Everything was so organized through the 1.5+ yrs of planning. Soon as we arrived in Costa Rica the week of our wedding, the team was so helpful with the finishing touches. Once our friends and family landed, every one raved about how easy everything was and how clear the communication of each event was. On our wedding day, everything was paced out perfectly as well and no attention to detail was spared. We replay this perfect day & weekend over and over in our hands and could not be more thankful we chose Red Velvet Weddings 🫶🏼♥️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
