About

Z Leo Events is a wedding planning business located in Miami, Florida.

First of all, I believe life is about creating unforgettable moments. Regarding this, I made it my business to plan and coordinate events that bring people together, connect them and leave them with amazing experiences.

My name is Zaira Leo. I am Puertorrican and I moved to Florida 15 years ago. Although I studied technical radiology, after forming a family, I decided to focus on raising my children for a while. During that time, I got involved in planning school events including some galas, black tie affairs, and corporate events for the school as well as my husband’s company. It was then that I fell in love with event planning! I wanted to make my client’s vision become a reality and, above all, to exceed their expectations!

A wedding to me is a unique event where not only do you celebrate love, you celebrate the compromise of two people forming a union where two families come together. Sometimes it is the celebration of two completely different cultures uniting and reminding us that love has no race, culture, age or gender!

If there is a person that is by your side during this time, that person is your wedding planner. It is our job to take care of every detail of your vision and make sure that your day is perfect! We are here to guide you through the process of choosing the right vendors and to explain the different categories they have so that you can choose the most suited for your special event. Most importantly, we help you plan everything so that you can stay within your desired budget.
We have been in the event planning business for five years and thanks to our ability to stay incredibly organized and the love we have for what we do, I have built a team that not only makes me shine in each event we plan, but also goes above and beyond to ensure our clients are satisfied beyond their expectations!

Phenomenal

Words aren't enough to express our gratitude to Zaira and her crew! Choosing Z Events LLC to plan our wedding absolutely one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. It was a special blessing to be able to spend precious time planning our wedding with such a caring, patient and professional planner. I felt like I had a sister with me every step of the way, not just a planner. Zaira's passion for weddings combined with her organization skills, knowledge make her worth far more than the rates she charges. We would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding; with Zaira's help, our wedding was smoothly-ran, a success and most importantly a dream come true! We are forever grateful!

A night to remember

Not only did they provide fast and efficient service, but they also delivered one of the best customer experiences you could ask for. True customer service is something many companies lack these days, so when a business gets it right, it deserves to be recognized and promoted. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best wedding planner

Where do I even begin? From the moment my partner and I engaged the services of Zaira , we knew we were in for something truly special. Our wedding journey became an unforgettable odyssey of love, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail.
Zaira is nothing short of a magician. With their extraordinary expertise and unwavering dedication, they transformed our dream wedding into a breathtaking reality. From the initial consultation to the final send-off, every step of the way was marked by professionalism, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Zaira was her ability to truly listen. She took the time to understand our vision, our personalities, and our unique love story, and then wove those elements seamlessly into every aspect of the event. The result was a wedding that felt like us in every way – authentic, heartfelt, and utterly magical.
But Zaira didn't just meet our expectations; she exceeded them in every conceivable way. From sourcing the most exquisite floral arrangements to curating a culinary experience that left our guests speechless, every detail was executed with precision and grace. Their network of vendors and industry connections ensured that we had access to the very best, and their impeccable taste and style elevated every aspect of the celebration.
Perhaps most importantly, Zaira brought a sense of calm and reassurance to the entire planning process. They handled every challenge with grace and professionalism, leaving us free to focus on what truly mattered – each other. On the day of the wedding, we were able to relax and savor every moment, knowing that Zaira had everything under control.
In the end, our wedding was more than just a day – it was a masterpiece of love and joy, crafted with care and passion by Zaira . To anyone considering their services, we cannot recommend them highly enough. With Zaira by your side, your wedding dreams are not just possible – they're inevitable.

Speechless

Zaira not only was professional, she exceeded my expectation. From communication, punctuality, organization, and much more, she surpassed all expectation, within a short notice period at that. If you are booking any particular venue, especially a wedding, she is the one for the job. 🙂

It was unique because we utilized Zaira services. Definitely coming back for any event planning needs.

Dream wedding planner

After my first meeting with Zaira, I knew she was the one I NEEDED to plan my wedding! I could immediately tell that she has a true passion for her work, her brides (and grooms) were her number one priority, and that she would be reliable every step of the way. Zaira far SURPASSED my EXPECTATIONS; she is extremely organized, highly professional, punctual, knowledgeable, innovative, kind, and patient. It truly felt like I had known her forever and was planning my wedding with a best friend.

We live in Chicago, and had limited time in Miami prior to our wedding day; Zaira went above and beyond to meet with our vendors, do multiple venue walk throughs, and allowed us to ship countless boxes to her house prior to our wedding day. Zaira scheduled multiple meetings with all of our vendors to go over wedding day details and timelines, and consistently advocated on our behalf. She organized a meeting with us on one of our trips to Miami to decide on our linens, chairs, tables, and tableware rentals; Zaira also had a mock-up of one of our centerpieces made for our visit to show us all of the details together. Even after our wedding day, Zaira took an itemized inventory of what we had left over, and on her own time, thoughtfully packaged and shipped those items back to us in Chicago!

Prior to the planning process, Zaira takes her time to get to know you as an individual, and also as a couple. She is very thorough about your overall vision, what the most important things are to YOU to you on your wedding day, your budget, etc.

Zaira knew that flowers and small details were the most important things to me when planning my wedding. Being a perfectionist, I can undoubtedly say that every little detail was executed flawlessly and the flowers were absolutely magnificent. I also have a very difficult time making decisions when faced with many options; Zaira was available for every idea that came to mind, and gave me her sincere input on the necessity of those ideas.

Zaira is very well-connected and provided outstanding vendor recommendations for florals, tableware rentals, lighting, décor, and also helped us book our cigar roller. When I tell you that Zaira can make anything happen, that is not an overstatement. At the last minute, I’m talking six days before, the event coordinator at our venue mentioned lighting, which we were under the impression was already a staple within the venue space. Zaira collected countless quotes that were far beyond anything we were willing to spend at the last minute; but, again, Zaira’s connections and persistence allowed us to afford the lighting we needed (and wanted) that fit within our last minute budget.

Zaira is extremely dependable and truly worked to make everything we envisioned a reality. From the start, I felt comfortable confiding in Zaira regarding my likes and dislikes, and did not hold back when it came to letting her know that my stress was through the roof. In those stressful moments, Zaira spoke to me with conviction in letting me know that everything would be absolutely perfect, and it truly was.

On our wedding day, I was completely stress free. Zaira and her fabulous team worked their magic; throughout the day and evening, they made sure we were having the best time ever, were hydrated and fed, and most importantly happy.

If you are looking for a sincere wedding planner that truly loves their work, has your best interest at heart, and will go to the moon and back for you, do yourself a favor and hire Z Events. Zaira, you are truly the best!!

XO, Becca & Tyler

Zaira is a miracle worker

Wow. Zaira and her team were nothing short of incredible. I am not a fan of event planning at all, and she really stepped up to make our James Bond themed wedding at the Miami Fontainebleau for 150 guests truly spectacular. She was well-priced, a strong communicator, patient with my procrastination, incredibly knowledgeable about South Florida vendors, had beautiful taste, thought of every possible detail, and even face-timed us for tours of our venue since we live in Seattle. Zaira also suggested and set up “hora loca” for the end of our wedding, and hired professional dancers to show up as Bond girls and hand out glow sticks to our guests—we didn’t quite know what to expect but WOW—it really made our wedding stand out and was SO much fun. If you work with Zaira, I highly recommend taking her advice on hora loca! Zaira handled literally every part of our wedding and set me up with a hair stylist and makeup artist who knew how to combat the Florida humidity, photographers who gave me and my now husband great directions (we’re both naturally awkward), incredible florists who transformed our poolside ceremony into the most beautiful, magical setting and our reception into Bond-themed glamour beyond our wildest dreams. Zaira was also extremely thoughtful about family dynamics and cultural details, especially when helping us to determine which Jewish and Ukranian traditions we wanted to include and how to handle my blended family. Thanks to Zaira, our wedding was stress-free and even weeks later, our friends and family are still raving that it was the best wedding they ever attended. I cannot recommend Zaira enough, especially if you are like I was and had NO IDEA how to even start planning a wedding. We paid for the most comprehensive package she had available and it was worth every penny and more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
