Ricardo was excellent to work with from day one. He is professional, communicates clearly, is transparent about pricing, purpose, vision, and vendors, and he's such a darling person. Ricardo is a master wedding coordinator and really listens to what the bride/couple envisions for their special day. He sat with me and my mom several times, as well as with my husband's family and our florist, to ensure throughout the process he knew how we were feeling, what we were envisioning, and that we stayed on task and in budget. He knows just about everyone in the industry, which was excellent as we got married in Dallas, and I am not from there, but Ricardo had someone for everything I needed and more. All his recommended vendors were fantastic, special shout out to Grand Slam Glam and Rosie from Infinity Media. Ricardo had such a vision for our day, took all of my recommendations, and helped us craft the most beautiful wedding I could have ever asked for. If you are a high budget bride, Ricardo can and will make your day fantastically OTT, but if you're a mid-low budget bride like I was, he will go above and beyond to make sure your day is OTT AND within budget. Either way, Ricardo can make any wedding magazine-worthy, and he's so incredibly supportive. I am so thankful for his help, prompt communication, expert timelines for planning and day of, and his frequent check ins to make sure we were on track. Day of, he was exactly what I needed to feel confident nothing would go wrong. He was hard at work making sure the venue was absolutely perfect and that nothing went wrong. Absolutely recommend Ricardo for anyone getting married, honestly anywhere!

We had hired Ricardo very early on in the process but after deciding on a venue (I do like that he offers a discount if you decide on a venue beforehand). Despite being on the hook with us for over a year, Ricardo was always patient, prompt, and professional from day one. I didn’t originally think we needed a professional wedding planner, but I am so very glad that we got one. Without Ricardo, this wedding would not have come together with the vision I had in mind.

Ricardo is one of a kind. When my then-fiancée hired Ricardo, I was skeptical. Why did we need to pay for someone to find and coordinate with vendors when my fiancée was already capable and doing just that. I felt she wanted a "friend" to be by her side and Ricardo would be duplicative to the process. What I realize now after our ceremony, Ricardo was indispensable. A wedding is an exciting but stressful thing and having someone to handle all of the planning, the communication, the logistics, the day-of coordination (particularly when rain forced our rooftop wedding indoors) is of upmost necessity.

Of course, it helps too that Ricardo is a consummate professional. He is funny, affable, caring, calming, and is keen to make the day as seamless as possible. I never thought Ricardo would be the person I trusted most to tame my nervous energy the day of the wedding.

If you are a couple in search of a wedding planner, you need this man. My wife and I are proud to call him our friend.
