    Dream Wedding

    Wow! Akua truly exceeded my expectations and executed by dream wedding with my vision in mind. Akua not only did the decor for my wedding reception, but also created the decor for our welcome event we hosted the night before. The decor for both events was gorgeous and everything was executed perfectly. Javier and Rafa strive to execute an elegant, modern and creative decor and truly work so hard to make sure you are happy. I could not recommend them enough. What they created for my wedding was better than what I could've envisioned!

    Dream Decor

    The decoration and flowers for our wedding exceeded our expectations! They created a beautiful arch for our ceremony which blew me away, the level of detail was amazing. My bouquet was GORGEOUS. Everything was just perfect! If you want a vendor you know will not let you down with every aspect of the decor and flowers for your wedding, AKUA is the right vendor for you! Highly recommend.

    Where can I start? AKUA is just simply THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO! They can make anything you can possibly imagine happen trust me when I say their inventory is MASSIVE! Our wedding was breathtaking and this was thanks to Javier the brain in AKUA and his team. Javier is down to earth, sweet, smart, and visionary! Also major credit to Kimberly our very own go to person (emails, phone calls, etc). Kimberly is very attentive, always on top of everything and quick to respond to emails. I give AKUA if I could a 10/10!!! BEST Decoration company Puerto Rico has to offer!!!

    Akua superó mis expectativas de la boda de mis sueños... todos los detalles de la decoración quedaron espectacularmente hermosos. Todas las novias deben visitarlos antes de escoger a quien confiaran la decoración de la boda de sus sueños. Si quieres algo original, especial, diferente te van a complacer. Simplemente excelente servicio...

    AKUA's reply:

    Saludos Mary, gracias por sus hermosas palabras, nos llena de gran felicidad saber que superamos las expectativas, esa siempre es nuestra meta. Nuevamente gracias por confiar en nosotros. ¡Les deseamos el mayor de los éxitos!

    My wedding was two weeks ago and I cannot stop thinking and talking about the absolute dream and masterpiece Javier and his team at AKUA created for my wedding. From the minute I sat with Javier to discuss what I wanted I knew I was in great hands. Not only was his talent and professionalism obvious, but he was also kind, sweet and importantly tries hard to work with you to try to get you exactly what you want regardless of what your budget is. Walking into that room and seeing what they created is a moment I will never forget. It was truly more than I could have ever dreamed it being and I am still getting messages from guests talking about the decoration. I only wish I could upload pictures with this review and words cannot due it justice!

    My flowers and event were beautiful thanks to Akua! They got every detail correct that I asked for, and was very easy to work with, especially since it was a destination wedding! The compliments we received were endless. This is a great choice for your event. We had rented furniture for the wedding and reception, and the quality was good, there were no visible signs of previous usage.

    AKUA's reply:

    Hi Diane, thank you for this lovely message. We desire the best for you both, thank you for trusting AKUA for your special day. Best wishes!

    Akua was recommended by our wedding planner as we had very specific ideas on décor for our welcome dinner and wedding in Old San Juan. Javier and his team at Akua are true professionals. Javier worked with us on our likes and dislikes with such attention to detail. This is a top notch, high end design group. Know that you will get the best with Akua. Our décor was everything we envisioned and more. Thank you so much to Javier and his team for making our wedding a visionary dream come true.

    AKUA's reply:

    Greetings Mari, thank you for sharing this amazing review. We take great pride in designing unique weddings that exceed our client’s vision. Again thank you for selecting and trusting us to create the wedding you always dreamed of.

    Our wedding was the most beautiful wedding we have ever been to and AKUA made it happen. Their creative ability is remarkable. When my husband and I walked into our reception for the first time, I was completely overwhelmed with how beautiful AKUA had made it. They worked with our budget, they were extremely professional, and they came highly recommended. I feel truly fortunate to have found AKUA. Thank you for the wedding of our dreams!

    Coming from a professional industry where my day to day is managing events and working with different kind of vendors I can truthfuly say that it was a blessing working with Akua on my special day. Their elegant taste, creativity and charisma make them the best in the island without a doubt.
    They understood my style right from the start and for me that is something really important.
    Their expertise and professionalism in the field made me trust them 100%.
    My wedding would have not been the same without them.
    It was simply perfect.
    Thank you Akua! 100% recommended!!!!

    I contracted with Akua to do my gazebo flowers, my bridal bouquet, wedding party flowers and mother's boutonniere, and they put twinkle lights throughout the trees. The flowers were beyond my expectation. I had supplied pictures of what i was looking for and they did the rest. It was absolutely beautiful.

    The individuals who I worked with were pleasant, creative and accommodating. They added no stress to my day and the flowers look amazing in all the photos. I highly recommend them.

    Akua were the first decorators that we met when planning our wedding, and after five minutes with Javier there was no need to look elsewhere. Fast Forward to the day of our wedding and his vision far exceeded all expectations that we had for the decorations. From the layout of the room, the choice of tableware, the flower arrangements and the lighting…it was an unbelieveable finished product that he produced. Even the smallest details were carried out to perfection.

    We would like to express our gratitude to Javier and to say to all planning weddings in Puerto Rico, that there is Akua, and then there are the rest. Javier you are a superstar, my friend. We can't thank you enough.

    Much Love,

    John and Monique

    I went to Puerto Rico 9 months before my wedding to meet different vendors. I met with three decorators during that trip. During my initial meeting with Javier you could tell he was already creating a vision, when I was telling him my ideas. And after doing research and talking to people, they all said AKUA is the best. So we decided to go with them and I am so happy that I did. My ceremony and reception was what I always dreamed it would be. It’s been over a week since my wedding and I am still thinking about how everything came together perfectly. All the guests told me they never seen such a beautiful wedding. They loved all the details and colors. I told Javier and his team that I wanted my guests to walk in the reception and their first thought to be “wow” and that is what everyone felt. Not only was the décor great, but my constant communication with them before the actual wedding was great. I am the typical stressed out bride that wants everything perfect and who has so many questions. And any time I emailed AKUA with questions and concerns they always responded right away, which made this process easy for me. Javier, thank you for making my dream wedding a reality.

    Javier and his team at Akua are hands down the best at what they do. They made our wedding a dream come true and from the start i had no doubt that we had made the right choice in choosing them. They knew exactly what we wanted and made our dreams a reality.
    He and his team are thoroughly responsible and are quick to reply when one has questions, concerns or ideas.
    They never failed to answer calls or emails and get back to you in a timely manner. In addition, they work with the clients budget to give them an outstanding product and seamlessly with the other wedding vendors, from the wedding coordinator, to the caterer, music and venue.

    My wedding was perfect thanks to them: from flowers to decoration to ambience.

    Look no further, Akua is your first and only choice.

    Searching for a wedding decor vendor can be a very daunting task since in my opinion the wedding decor is one of the most important elements in a wedding. Nevertheless, choosing our event designer was one of the easiest tasks in our wedding planning, and that was all because of Javier Martinez, Akua Event Design Group.

    If you are looking for amazing, breathtaking, awe worthy decor for your wedding or event look no further than Akua. They are undeniably the best event design decorators in Puerto Rico, providing the best flower arrangements, the most magnificent decor, design & lighting and have the largest inventory for furniture rental.

    Javier is a dream to work with. (I more than looked forward to every meeting with him) He's not only creative and a master at what he does, but he's also the most patient, responsible and trustworthy person ever. His team is very professional and deliver the most incredible decor every single time.

    I had a very specific idea of what I wanted our wedding to look like from the ceremony chandeliers and draping to the reception flowers, chairs, lighting and linens. Javier has such a keen eye for style that he not only deciphered what I had envisioned but surpassed every single expectation I had, thus created and delivered the most amazing wedding decor making possible our dream wedding

    I 100% recommend Akua Event Design Group.

    JAVIER IS TRULLY AN ARTIST, HE CREATED AN AMAZING ATMOSPHERE AND AMBIANCE FOR US, WHEN I ENTERED THE RECEPTION SITE I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HIS DESIGN. HE CAPTURED OUR DREAM WEDDING AND MATERIALIZED IT. IT WAS MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL AND SOPHISTICATED THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE, HE EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. IT WAS BREATHTAKING. JAVIER IS EXTREMELLY PROFESSIONAL AND EASY TO TALK TO. FROM THE CEREMONY SITE TO THE RECPTION SITE I WOULD GO WITH AKUA ALL OVER AGAIN... I TRUST HIM WITH MY EYES CLOSED!

    Akua provided the flowers and decor for our December destination wedding. Our ceremony took place on the Isla Verde beach, and Akua created a palm arch that was just what I had in mind, and completed our simple beach setting with fabulous acrylic chairs for our guests. The tropical white and green bouquets and boutonnieres for the wedding party were wonderful accents for our emerald green color palate.

    The decor for our reception was more than I could have hoped for. The balance of tall white and green centerpieces with lower candles and flowers were absolutely stunning.

    I couldn't have been happier with Akua's contribution to our wedding day. They helped to set the scene for memories that will last a lifetime for our family and friends.
