Viva Bella were our wedding planners for our wedding on 9/13/2014. The day was perfect and we did not have to worry about anything.

We even joked that this team is like the secret service because they are always in contact making sure that no detail is left undone.

The day would not have been fun and relaxing without them!

Viva Bella was great, our wedding was not the easiest project to take on, but Viva Bella did a fantastic job and the wedding day was perfect and would not have been if it wasn't for them.

I have nothing but good things to say about Viva Bella! I am honestly not sure how someone plans a wedding without a wedding planner. I constantly felt at ease during the wedding planning process. From beginning to end Dora and team were by our side guiding us through. My Wedding day was unreal! I did not have to worry about one thing and I felt like a celeb. I believe I had the dream team! Thanks Viva Bella!!

Dora and Hannah of Viva Bella did a fantastic job for our wedding at Alms Park. From the first meeting to the day-of, they were attentive, organized, and helped us think through each detail of our wedding... and it looked fantastic, and it was wonderful. We tried to keep ourselves on a strict budget, so it's not as though Viva Bella encouraged us to spend every last dime, either; they just made it look and feel effortless and amazing.

Viva Bella was worth every penny for their Wedding Weekend Service because they helped make our wedding stress-free and allowed my fiance and I to just really enjoy ourselves and we didn't worry about anything. They ensured that all the last minute details were taken care of and gave us a detailed Weekend timeline so that we and our families/friends knew where they should be at all times. They are also the most wonderful, caring people and were amazing to work with. I highly recommend their services!!!!

Viva Bella Events assisted with my wedding in October of 2008. Dora and her team did a fabulous job! They were buttoned up, professional and went over and above the call of duty. My family and I were able to enjoy every minute of the day because Dora was there to take care of ALL the details! We were thrilled with our decision to choose Viva Bella Events and would highly recommend Dora's services to anyone planning a wedding or special event! Thanks again, Dora!

I am SO glad that I was able to work with viva bella events as I planned my wedding. I honestly can't imagine how I would have done everything without them! It was wonderful to have their services throughout the planning process to help answer questions, to give us ideas, to keep us on schedule, and probably best of all, to keep me calm! :) Not only was viva bella amazing to work with during the planning process, but they played a CRITICAL role during the actual day of the wedding. So much was going on the actual day of the wedding and I honestly don't know how brides manage everything without the help of viva bella! When I look back at my wedding, I am amazed at how wonderful everything turned out - and I can honestly say that it would not have been possible without viva bella! :)

Viva Bella Events was simply amazing! I would highly recommend this wedding planner for anyone and would definitely do it all over again with Dora Manuel (she planned my wedding) when I have another big event in town. She is such a pleasure to work with. Wedding planning is something that women generally do not have any prior experience, so having professional help in my opinion is a must for such a once in a lifetime event of your life where mistakes cannot be learned and applied later. Viva Bella not only was able to successfully prevent me from all those mistakes but also went the extra mile to make my day even more special with phenomenal ideas for the design of the theme in the reception hall. I got thank you cards in the mail from some of the guests for allowing them to participate in such a spectacular event, quoting "we've never been to such a gorgeous wedding before". I've never heard of brides getting thank you and complimenting cards after their wedding. This is how amazing Viva Bella Events was!!! And they also have an awesome list of preferred vendors they work with who are all A-listers with top performance and exceptional customer service.

You may think you can do this yourself - but you'll actually enjoy your day and not worry about a thing if you hire these wonderful people to do it for you!

We debated whether or not to hire a wedding planner and decided to go with viva bella events (we loved the website and really enjoyed our first meeting with the owner, Dora Manuel). It was the best decision we made for our entire wedding. We approached our wedding weekend with complete confidence that Dora and the VB crew had everything under control - and they did! We relaxed and enjoyed our wedding. Dora made our wedding vision come to life!

Also - we relied on Dora's recommendations for other vendors almost 100%. We gave her our budget and our vision, and she would suggest 1-3 vendors (florists, caterers, cake, photography, bridal party makeup all come to mind). All of her recommendations turned out to be fantastic as well!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
