Amazing planner!

If you wanna get married on the beach Valarie is the go to lady! She met all of my expectations and even carried my son who refused to walk down the aisle! We are forever grateful for her and Bill! Thank you!

Wonderful wedding planner

Valarie did such a wonderful job planning our wedding. We are from Illinois and knew we wanted to be married in SPI. I gave her the colors I wanted, a few pics from the internet and she worked her magic! The day of the wedding, it was POURING. Things were flooding, it was horrible. Being a nervous bride, I was messaging her all morning. She very promptly replied and she had a back up plan for us. Luckily, everything worked out as planned and we had the outdoor wedding we dreamed of. We couldn’t have done it without her!

Stress free dream wedding come true!

We live 8 hours away and the dream wedding our daughter and son in law had of being Married on the beach was able to come true thanks to Valarie, her expertise, and her team. As a mother of the bride, it took some faith to have every detail tended to and not be able to be there to do it myself. Valarie totally knocked it out of the park. Everyone on her team was Not just professional, but personal as well. The whole ceremony was well organized and timely; flowers were gorgeous;cake was delicious as well as beautiful; photographer was efficient and took beautiful pictures; the DJ was attentive to our requests and fun! We chose South Padre Brewery for their reception up on the deck and they were also fantastic and personal. Our family of about 50 made some memories and had an awesome family vacation as we celebrated the marriage of our children. Definitely recommend Valarie and her expertise 💞

June Wedding

Valarie did a wonderful job coordinating our wedding ceremony. She and Bill were so accommodating when coastal rains threatened to cancel our sunrise wedding on the beach in SPI. We all watched the weather forecast and when it cleared, we proceeded from our condo to the beach and the ceremony began. It drizzled a fine mist for about the first half hour, but she took a lot of pictures before the ceremony and we have many terrific memories shared that will last a lifetime. I am so glad we chose Valarie! We selected non-professional portraits and were blown away with the quantity, quality and variety of the selection. Thanks, Valarie & Bill, for making our wedding extra special! Love, The Ritchie Family

Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Wedding Planner!

I was so nervous about planning a destination wedding since I live across the country in VA. Valerie made the whole ceremony planning a breeze. She told me what she needed, I answered her questions, and everything came together perfectly. The rehearsal was conducted clearly and we all understood what we had to do which helped (some) with our nervousness. I am grateful to have had her help!

Dream come true

Extremely satisfied with service. My wedding Day was made easy to know everything was taken care of by the wedding vendor. I came from Michigan to have the wedding in Texas. The entire experience was worth it. I’m thankful that we were in contact the entire time until the end of the wedding. I highly recommend this wedding planner.
