Blue Butterfly events was amazing to work with! The owner Tui, travel coordinator Adriana, and the rest of her team did an excellent job helping us plan our 75 person wedding in La Fortuna! Tui is very organized and has deep experience with the vendors and hotels in the area! She made sure she was on top of the planning from the beginning so we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy spending time with the friends and family who traveled to be there for the wedding! We started the process with site visits to locations that could accommodate our groups needs, which was a great way to meet Tui and Adri, and get more familiar with the area! We also went on some of the tours so we could decide which activities to recommend for our group! Adri did a great job coordinating activities, rental cars, and airport shuttles! The wedding itself was beautiful, and many guests said it was the most relaxed wedding they had ever attended, which I give Tui full credit for! I could not recommend their wedding services more! Best decision we made when planning our wedding!

For starters, I just have to thank Jen and her team for their amazing job with my wedding. Living in the US, I always wanted a destination wedding. I didn't know I wanted to get married in Costa Rica until I got engaged (2 years earlier) in La Fortuna. I knew Costa Rica was so diverse from the mountains, volcanoes, beaches, etc. but I never could imagine that my wedding would be the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen (I may be biased :) ). Starting with the whole interview process, I knew I needed a Spanish speaking Costa Rican native to help me with the language barrier, I never thought I could do it alone. Little did Jen know (she still doesn't until I write this review), I was working full-time as a nurse, while in school to become a Nurse Practitioner (for the Costa Rican's and foreigners, basically like a doctor), so time was hard to come by to plan my wedding. The initial interview, I felt like I knew Jen already, her personality/aura was SO welcoming. The whole process was extremely smooth, she is VERY attentive and timely in her responses to you from the start... to the very end... even past the ceremony/reception. I feel like I have made a friend for life, someone I got to share a major life event with (and little did she know an additional one by graduating and becoming a working NP). She was very ontop of EVERYTHING, hiring vendors, trying to get my vision to put it on paper, etc. with many reminders from busy old me, which I really needed especially since I had a hard time deciding. At the end of the day, she saw my vision and beyond, and for that I am forever grateful. Leading up to the wedding, I was nervous traveling to another country, but Jen had many lists to keep me in check to keep me feeling calm and relaxed leading up to it. For payment of vendors, she has an extensive, very detailed spreadsheet that is extremely easy to navigate with deadlines for everything. Now it comes time to meeting Jen (and her team) for the first time and she was once again SO warm and welcoming, just as if I've known her forever. She even welcomed me with the BIGGEST hug ever. The day before the wedding, we ran through the ceremony to make sure everything was clear the day of. Now comes wedding day... and I will just leave some pictures. She EXCEEDED all of my expectations and dreams. I felt like a guest at my own wedding... and everyone that attended said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I immediately started crying when I saw my wedding bouquet, which then made her cry in return (again, such a genuine soul). So now, it has been a whole year since I got married, I unfortunately had a poor experience with my videographer and I still haven't received my wedding video. I waited in hopes I would get it so I could relive the beautiful job she did over and over again to write this review. I reached out to Jen (in desperation for some help). She repeatedly has reached out to me for MONTHS to see if I have received my video, and she has done what she could to reach out to help me get my video. This just shows what an AMAZING person she is, long after the wedding. Despite all the other clients she has, she will always make you feel like you are her only client during the wedding season and will make you feel like a forever friend afterwards. If you are deciding between Jen and another planner, your best decision will be to go with Jen!!!
