    Phenomenal experience

    May and her team were absolutely outstanding through and through. We had an incredible experience working with them and when it was over, were a little sad because they made the entire experience for us such a joy. Weddings can be stressful for obvious reasons, but Mayrelis, Carolina and the team at Elite Planning created an environment that was conducive to all of our needs. We never felt rushed and always felt heard. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. They are top of the line and as good as it gets when it comes to wedding planning. Total professionals who make the entire experience a pleasurable, enjoyable once in a lifetime tapestry of moments!

    Worth every penny!

    May and her team were amazing to work with and I highly recommend them! May makes the daunting task of planning a wedding so easy, manageable and actually fun! She truly goes above and beyond for every client. Every vendor she works with is amazing and together they deliver the best product. May is great at understanding your wants and vibes and translating that into a successful event! I highly recommend May..truly the best money spent!

    The absolute best

    My husband and I absolutely love Mayrelis and couldn't have imaged having anyone else hold our hand through the long and stressful wedding planning process. May always had our back through everything, with incredible attention to detail and creative, fun ideas that really made our wedding special. She listened to us through it all and we really felt heard. On the day of the wedding, she kept everything running smoothly and reduced our stress - even when we had to make the tough decision to make last-minute changes due to weather. Also special shout out to Carolina, May's assistant, who is wonderful, and to Olivia who was with me all day on the wedding day and attended to my every need with warm professionalism.

    Best money spent

    I don't think I can ever do any other event from now on without May's help. Everyone at the wedding complimented me on how fun and beautiful the wedding was. May really built her business from the ground up. She knows so many talented and responsible vendors. She did a great job finding alternatives and suggesting new ideas.
    My wedding planning was so smooth thanks to May and her team. I wouldn't change a thing.
    Thank you team Elite Planning you guys made sure I felt like a true bride on my wedding day. My husband and I enjoyed our day so much and this will be of one of best memories for my family. I will 10000000% recommend them

    Spectacular

    After one month of dealing with a planner that was a nightmare to work with I had my last straw when she stood me up for the third time. I decided to go out on a limb and start over with a different wedding planner (mind you my wedding was four months away at that point). I called Mayrelis in desperate need of REAL professional help and that’s exactly what I got. I was afraid of starting over with a different planner since my wedding was only four months away but Mayrelis took over everything with so much grace and put my mind at ease. Even some of my vendors who had been in the industry for years commented on how amazing and thorough she was. She really cares about her clients and it shows. Her extremely high organization skills, great energy, and thoroughness brought it all together. Everything turned out so beautifully, I had all the bells and whistles I wanted (draping, custom floor, lighting, cold sparks, confetti, performers, saxophonist, photo booth, I mean the list goes on) No one would ever have guessed it was all planned in such a short period of time! My husband and I had the best time of our lives and so did our 200+ guests. I’m so happy I found Mayrelis, she is a real gem.

    Elite Planning firm is the "dream team" of wedding and event coordination!!

    I cannot say enough about May and the Elite Planning firm team. I was lucky enough to begin working with May from Elite Planning firm back in November of 2019. She immediately struck me as someone who was knowledgeable of her craft, down to earth and best of all relatable! We hit it off right away and got straight to masterminding our dream wedding which would end up taking place in Riviera Maya, Mexico. When COVID changed the course of our lives in March of 2020 soon after we made the wise choice of postponing our wedding to a further date. Throughout the entire process as vendors and venues around the world rushed around to figure out this new "normal" May was right there throughout the entire process to guide me and suggest me in the right direction. Without her and her unending patience, wittiness and expertise none of this would've ever been possible. After a year and a half of planning my husband and I finally tied the knot on May 29, 2021! We are so beyond grateful for her and her entire team for making our wedding such a memorable day which will live in our hearts and memories for time to come!

    May is amazing!

    Mayrelis Febles and the entire team at Elite Planning Firm are absolutely INCREDIBLE. If you are considering getting married in the Miami area (or honestly, anywhere) RUN do not walk to hire her.

    I first heard of May in Sept of 2019 when my now husband and I went on a site tour of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. We were given her name by the events coordinator as someone who is great to work with overall. Shortly thereafter, I had my first call with May and within minutes of chatting with her, I knew she was the person for me. May is warm, friendly, easy to talk to, and above all else, she is a true partner in this process.

    Our initial wedding date was set for April 10, 2021 and leading up to it May was amazing, she was incredibly attentive, checking in bi-weekly and she was always open to feedback and willing to lend her expertise. Then came January 4th, 2021, 90-days out from our original wedding date, we learned that Vizcaya had changed their policy and the dream wedding we had been planning was no longer possible. So unfortunately, like so many other couples, we had to push it a year. May flew into action, got every vendor to commit to our new date of April 30th, 2022 and had every contract renegotiated within days of learning this news. She was a true godsend during a time of incredible stress for me, my husband, and our families.

    Fast forward to the week of our wedding and I think everyone who attended the event can agree that May is the GOAT. She handled everything FLAWLESSLY, from navigating weather changes for our welcome drinks, to orchestrating the most beautiful rehearsal dinner, to ensuring the day of timeline was on point (we were actually ahead of schedule for most of the day!).

    May created a wedding weekend that was better than I ever could imagine! She knew the assignment and showed up in an amazing way! THANK YOU MAY!

    We worked with May for over 2 years and I enjoyed every moment of it. May is such a joy to work with as evidenced by the amazing relationships she has with every vendor known to man.

    If you are reading this review, this is a sign to hire May. You will not be sorry! You are not getting just a wedding planner, you are getting a wonderful, caring, thoughtful person, who is AMAZING at her job. My personal advice here is to hire May and let her do her thing – you will not be disappointed!

    Thank you May! You are a rockstar – I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you and thank you for planning a wedding that exceeded my wildest dreams!!

    Attention to All Details

    Planning a wedding is very stressful and there are a million things to keep track of it also can be very overwhelming given that many brides don't have event planning experience and we all want everything to be perfect. May was great at introducing us to the perfect vendors, providing recommendations, keeping us on schedule, staying on top of details, she was very organized and on the day of the wedding she masterfully orchestrated about 50 different vendors and our wedding went off without a hitch. I was very nervous given a lot of the complexities to our wedding and literally nothing went wrong (except that the evening went by too fast!). There are going to be times were you may doubt your planner - not going to lie I did at times - but May knows what she is doing. She is very skilled at throwing gatherings of all sizes and when I look back at it all, she really did a killer job. I'm not an easy client and my mom was more of a bridezilla than me and she was able to please us both with the wedding of our lifetime! Thank you May for everything you did for us!

    Memorable / highly recommended

    My wedding was June 1, 2019, and I used Elite Planning! Mayrelis and her team are committed and compassionate about providing the best services paired with the best industry advice / people skills out there. I've developed not only a business relationship with them but a life long friendship. I could not recommend her and elite Planning more! -Erika

    Amazing, professional, perfectionist and truly a friend for life!!!!!

    What can we say about Mayrelis at Elite Planning Firm? Well, there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe her. She is just amazing, the best wedding planner we know and the one that will take your event to the next level. Her professionalism, unsurpassed attention to detail, organizational as well as leadership skills is remarkable. Our hiring her services May 8th, 2018 was the best decision my husband and I as well as my daughter and her fiancé ever made throughout the wedding planning process. We definitely could not have made it without her!!!!!
    As parents, we always imagined the moment when our little girl would get married and we were determined to give her the most spectacular wedding event ever. We started by going to different event venues to choose the one right for our daughter's vision and it was at the magnificent Biltmore Hotel that we decided to do her wedding. Vanessa, the sales manager at the hotel, recommended a few wedding planners and after reading up on a couple, we decided on Mayrelis almost immediately.
    Then we needed to confirm our choice by setting up a meeting with her and feel the vibe that she inspired to us. Oh, boy, thinking about that day when we met her at Graziano's, May did not disappoint at all after all the hard work and dedication we saw in the upcoming year. We asked her a couple of questions regarding her experiences as a wedding planner and she asked us about the most important things we expected from the event as a whole. We immediately clicked; we had found our wedding planner!!!! She wowed us with her outgoing personality and charm. We would let her know our vision and details that we wanted to include from the beginning and then she would start to work her magic right away...
    Whether you have a fancy affair or a simple wedding to plan, Mayrelis is the perfect planner for you. We have not seen a planner embody perfectionism like her; maybe that's why we made such a great bond, because I have type A personality like she does.
    She started to show us what she could do when she surprised us by setting up a meeting with the sought-after photographer that we had told her we wanted at the wedding. She had already reserved the date of the wedding tentatively, pending our face-to-face with him. The rest of the meetings were just like that.
    After discussing all possible preferred vendors from the list The Biltmore gave us, we decided who would do our flowers and decorations, DJ, lighting and entertainment, wedding/bridesmaid gowns, cake, transportation, etc.
    She gave us her recommendations as far as all the main vendors and we could not be happier and more satisfied with how everything turned out. May really helped us coordinate with vendors all the main details and even the tiniest ones that would make of the wedding an affair to remember. We had a pretty good idea how much coordination a wedding like this would entail since we planned our daughter's 15th birthday twelve years ago. But we did not have the time and dedication like we did back then to plan this event and we wanted it to go out smoothly.
    It is incredible how much May is really respected among all vendors and professionals in the wedding business. Her timeline to set up meetings and discuss important details was impeccable. She knew the overall theme and effect that what we wanted to portray at our event and worked tirelessly to achieve it, making sure no detail was overlooked, no matter how small or insignificant it could seem.
    She recommended us the wedding invitation place that actually turned out to be the focal starting point of our lavish affair and the one to set up the mood for the entire event, followed by flowers, lighting and entertainment, making important suggestions along the way.
    She even set up a meeting with the wedding gown boutique where we were treated like royalty and family and our daughter chose her two beautiful dream gowns. We are so glad we came to this boutique that she recommended!!!!
    The entire event came together flawlessly after a year of hard work and perseverance. We realized we had made the right decision of choosing Mayrelis and her team after she welcomed us to the ballroom to see it for the first time the day of the wedding. We opened our eyes to a fairy-tale, enchanted and glamorous space like the one we could only imagine for so many years, but finally, with May's help we could see it become a reality so well deserved for our daughter and her wonderful fiancé, Alexander Bartolome.
    We also would like to thank all the ladies who assisted May at Elite Planning Firm throughout the entire process for making our day a most memorable one. They were instrumental at making sure the day ran out as smoothly as possible and without any major unforeseen problems. We could not have made it until the end with their help. Mayrelis and her team at Elite Planning were spot on the day of the wedding, coordinating with all vendors the final touches and details of such an important day for us and our daughter, especially TK, who personally helped Jorge and I, the bride and the bridesmaids in getting ready, pictures and everything else... making sure we were on schedule throughout the entire day. If something did not appear to be perfect or exceed our expectations, May would talk with the vendors to change it and make it to our liking. Everything, from the flowers to lighting, to the music that we played, to the names on the royal tables to the natural cascade of flowers on the cake and much more was carefully coordinated by May with our input and vision, but it was her sophisticated and exceptional taste and ideas that made this wedding a success.
    If you are looking for the best wedding planner, look no further, you will have no regrets towards choosing Mayrelis and her firm for your affair, doesn't matter the size or the budget of your wedding. She will take care of your event with the same grace and charisma that she took care of ours and she will respect your choices but help you make better ones, because the experience that she has in this business is something you cannot acquire overnight and it just shows at the end of the day. We thought we hired a planner but ended up with a friend to cherish for life.
    Thank you so much Mayrelis and your team at Elite Planning Firm for all the wonderful work that you did to make our event such a lavish and unforgettable affair for years to come.

    Best wedding planner and team ever!

    Where to start!? Working with May and her team at Elite Planning was the absolute best decision my husband and I made! May and her team were such a delight to work with, and made the wedding of our dreams come true! I never had to worry about the organizational details on the day of the wedding, and we were able to freely enjoy ourselves with no stress! The pandemic hit about a month before our original wedding date, and we were so lucky to have May on our team. Her existing relationships with our vendors and her immense knowledge and experience made the rescheduling process so easy- she really went above and beyond and made planning a wedding during a pandemic seem like a breeze! She was always easily accessible for any questions I had, and I feel so blessed to have found May and her team! Could not speak more highly of Elite Planning Firm!!

    Seriously I don't even know what we would have accomplished for our wedding without Elite Planning! I met Mayrelis a couple years ago while she was planning my sister-in-law's wedding. She was so full of useful information and provided my SIL with many great ideas and connections to vendors that otherwise we would have never met had she not recommended them. So after our engagement after deciding on a wedding date, my fiance´ and I knew the right person to assist us in our year of wedding planning.
    Mayrelis became more than our wedding planner, she was a mentor, a friend, and my creative sidekick! Our ideas flowed so well together and no matter how over the top or crazy my vision/ideas were, Mayrelis was never intimidated, she would simply top it with something even more spectacular! Her relationships with her preferred vendors allow her to offer the best pricing for your budget and be as creative as you want her to be given your vision and ideas of your wedding.
    Mayrelis is very detailed, organized, and professional. Mayrelis always made herself available to us and she made sure to keep open communication throughout the planning process.
    I have to add as I have been to other weddings this year and in the past as well and I have met with and seen many other wedding planners, some of which do their job to the very last second and others which seem to complete their duties as soon as the reception begins. From these experiences I can guarantee that Mayrelis and the team at Elite Planning are the true definition of passionate wedding planners!
    THANK YOU MAYRELIS, RENATHA AND THE TEAM AT ELITE PLANNING FIRM FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR US!

    A+++++++++ Great Job!

    The best wedding decision we made was to hire May of Elite Planning. I know for sure that had we not hired May my wedding weekend would not have turn out as good as it did. Both May and her team were responsive throughout the planning process. Hiring a planner is the most important decision you will make for your wedding. Do not skimp on this nor underestimate the value of this decision. There are so many details that would not have even been thought of if May was not involved. You will have all sorts of options when it comes to a planner. Do not make the decision based off of price or think that you can do this on your own or with the help of a friend and/or mother. A wedding is an event that needs to be handled by a professional person. I am so pleased with how May assisted me and helped me avoid pitfalls or make wrong decisions. Definitely hire May...you will not be disappointed!

    We were two months out for our daughter’s wedding, when my husband had an accident. My daughter decided to postpone the wedding and Mayrelis immediately began contacting the hotel and vendors to find a date that all of them could agree on. Her and her team took care of everything! She had excellent recommendations based on our vision, she negotiated all contracts and always kept us focused during meetings. Most importantly she kept us on budget. Our daughters wedding was perfect in every way. May and her team had everything running seemlessly taking care of any issues that may have arisen. We highly recommend Elite Planning Firm. It couldn’t have happened without them. We were able to do what every parent should on their daughter’s wedding day....take in every single moment! We were truly blessed to have such a great team working behind the scenes.

    Our experience with Mayrelis and her crew was outstanding! She was able to put together our wedding celebration in one month. Her guidance, recommendations and logistics were great! She is a very positive and happy person. We highly recommend Elite Planning Firm for your party or event.

    Mayrelis was seriously our savior. When we got engaged, I spent a few months trying to figure things out on my own, convinced I could do this without a planner... boy was I wrong! The moment I met May we clicked right away. She immediately started giving me ideas that fit my vision and budget. My situation was a bit complicated because I didn't live in Miami and we had a week to meet with vendors and figure things out before I went back home to New York. May set up tons of meetings and when I went back home, I felt like my wedding was in the right hands. Planning a wedding long distance is not easy but May took away all of my worry. She sent me everything I needed, we had phone calls, we texted and she handled all of the little details I would never have thought of. She has such a great relationship with all of the best vendors in Miami. Based on all of my needs, she was able to set me up with the vendors that fit my vision perfectly. May has amazing taste and she was able to understand exactly what I wanted. I am an extremely indecisive person and she knew exactly how to help me make the best decision possible... she was extremely patient with me! It was not easy to show up at my wedding days after arriving in Miami and not really knowing how it would all play out. Well let me tell you, it came out better than I could have ever imagined! May and her team executed the most spectacular wedding of my dreams. She is impeccably organized and kept my Jewish wedding running perfectly on schedule which is a HUGE deal and very impressive!! As for my Jewish wedding- I had an orthodox and Kosher wedding which May executed flawlessly. She took special care to make sure all of the traditions and laws were followed and respected. May even helped make our honeymoon special by helping us find the most perfect resort in Mexico for us. Mayrelis truly cares about her clients happiness and I couldn't have asked for a better planner to make our dream a reality. Thank you so much May!!

    Absolutely LOVED Mayrelis! I only had the pleasure of working with her for the month of my wedding, but would strongly recommend having her there from start to finish. I thought I had most of it figured out until we sat down to review the details. She was heaven sent! On top of the amazing work she did, she has a fantastic personality! I can’t imagine working so close with anyone else during such a hectic time. She is the absolute BEST!

    “O.m.g. What would we have done without May and her team?,” was what we kept repeating throughout the entire wedding process. We went for the full planning services and were so thrilled we did- worth every penny. May helped us every step of the way and was our eyes and ears on the ground while we were away in NYC and Spain. One of the most valuable things Elite Planning brings to the table is a stellar relationship with vendors - they can help negotiate better deals for you and you can save tons! Additionally, May is so incredibly professional but also so fun and real - a true pleasure to work with! The Elite Planning team really took the time to completely understand our vision for our New Year’s Eve wedding and make it a reality. We wanted our wedding to be different and they made sure that we weren’t compromising for the status quo. May took the time to understand who we were as a couple and reflect that in our wedding. Seeing the whole team day-of (on a holiday) working so hard to ensure there was not a single error or issue was so impressive- these girls are some real bosses and they mean business! Our family all agreed this was the most essential purchase to ensure we all had the best time on the day - completely worry-free!

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mayrelis at Elite Planning Firm for nearly 15 months prior to my wedding day. I hired her to be there every step of the way, as I was an out of state bride. When I met her for the first time I felt like we were instant friends! Mayrelis is very sweet, accommodating, and genuine. She is exactly the kind of person I wanted to work closely with leading up to the dreamiest day ever. The months leading up to the wedding were a breeze, whenever I would feel like I was behind schedule, Mayrelis was 8 steps ahead of me at all times. She is a true talent! I would also love to point out that Mayrelis is incredibly stylish, so she is also the perfect person to help debate options and bounce ideas off of. As for the wedding day, it's hard to even put into words how much Mayrelis did outside of her job description. NEXT LEVEL SERVICE! & truly the only kind of service you should receive when you know that someone cares about what she does. Mayrelis is that girl. I felt like she was invested in my wedding as much as I was and she did everything humanly possible to make sure that my wedding day went perfectly smooth. We had a last minute rain that forced us to move our reception inside right after the ceremony. To this day my guests still had no idea the reception was ever going to be outside in the first place because Mayrelis and her team flawlessly execute everything they touch. Hiring Elite Planning Firm was the best decision I made for my wedding hands down, & I am grateful for Mayrelis' friendship to this day!

    Mayrelis and the Elite Planning Firm Team went above and beyond helping me materializing my dream wedding. I still cannot get over how perfect our day was. I decided to go for a "Month-off" instead of the full year of planning because it was more suitable to my budget. Even though I was out of the city during the wedding planning I have to say Mayrelis was very flexible in meeting with me even before the month-off started and she was always open, kind and gracious answering my phone calls when I had questions along the planning. She gave me wonderful suggestions that worked out perfectly. May is very familiarized with numerous venues in Miami and she is well known and respected by the catering departments, including the Biltmore Hotel were I did my wedding reception. The fact that they knew her well at Biltmore helped a lot! It made things much easier. Brides, more important than anything, the day of your wedding she will make you and your mom feel that you have nothing to worry about: The timeline was perfection, May is very organized, goal oriented and in a few words she has the perfect personality for a wedding coordinator as she WILL TAKE CONTROL of the day (that is SO important ! especially for a bride like me that can become a little controlling. (Girls! that day I was so chill that my sisters and mom started wondering if I took some medication hahaha). Look, there are many more details I have to say about her but before I run out of space I have to tell you brides: Consider this investment, I did a lot of research before I hired Mayrelis and her Team and her pricing is very reasonable compared to others with similar or even not as good quality as her but just "fame". I can guarantee this will be money well spent and it will be the reason (besides your new shiny husband) of your huge smile on your wedding day because you will be able to relax and really feel all your emotions after you put all in her hands. Do not hesitate on asking me any questions. Sofia.

    Elite Planning Firm helped coordinate the many vendors involved in the wedding to insure that the event set-up, which had to be done on a tight schedule, was handled flawlessly. She was professional and thorough and easy to work with. The ceremony and reception were magical and all details were handled beautifully!

    Elite Planning firm was the best wedding planning company I could have hired for my wedding. Mayrellis, the founder, and her team were absolutely impeccable throughout the whole process. They are extremely professional, always available, have impressive knowledge about vendors, quality, cost benefit and organization. Our wedding was elegant, well organized. We absolutely enjoyed to work with May and team. I strongly recommend Elite Planning if you would like your wedding to be perfectly organized.

    Mayrelis helped us plan every detail of our daughter's wedding, including a 90 people Welcome Dinner and Morning After Brunch in our home. She made the remote wedding planning between our daughter and her fiancé (in New Jersey) and us (in Miami) easy, but most importantly, a thoroughly enjoyable experience, especially for my daughter and me.
    Mayrelis expertise encompasses all aspects of wedding planning.
    Understanding of Clients' Vision - Mayrelis was exceptional at understanding what our daughter and son in law wanted their wedding to be like. She helped them gradually develop their vision by using Pinterest and teleconferencing via Skype. Once they knew what they wanted, she assembled a list of vendors whom she felt were a good match both in terms of style and budget.
    Industry Vendors: Mayrelis is great with vendors and has a well developed roster of service providers to meet any clients' wishes/specifications.
    Budget: She helps you develop a budget to match your wishes and if you cannot afford all you want within your budget, she helps you come up with alternatives that are within your means. When we met with vendors, for example, the florist, she kept selections and choices within the preset budget for flowers.
    Communicating with Clients: May was available to answer questions and or concerns via email, text and phone. If unable to answer , she would send a text saying she had gotten message and would respond or call as soon as she could.
    Day Of: She was great making sure things ran smoothly at home as Anna got ready, at hotel as groom and guests got ready and during the ceremony and reception. She stayed until the very end.
    After the wedding, she presented a document with the budget line by line, reviewed goods, services and payments. Anna had her dream wedding within budget!

    Mayrelis and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! She literally made the vision for my wedding come to life and went above and beyond to do so. If I had told her I wanted to be brought in on the backs of turtles, she would have made it happen! She is an expert in the industry and has great relationships with many different wedding vendors in the Miami area. I interviewed a few different wedding planners in the area, but I didn't get the same genuine warmth from anyone else. All of our guests still comment to us about how our wedding was the most beautiful, elegant, and magical wedding they have ever been to. It really was everything I could have dreamed of and more.

    First and for most Mayrelis is the best in the business, look no further! Being from New Jersey and wanting a dream wedding in Miami my husband and I knew we needed a wedding planner. So my husband set up a phone interview with Mayrelis and within a few short minutes of being on the phone with her we knew she was the right one for the job. We planned our wedding with Mayrelis about 18 months out. Flying back and forth from Jersey to Miami to get things done. Doing all that traveling was stressful enough. But once we got to Miami she had a whole itinerary ready for us. Let me tell you, she knows the best people in the business. From our venue, invitations, officiate, flowers, DJ, videographer and everything else, we do not have one complaint. She made every visit super easy and we got SOO much done. Mayrelis would even pick us up from our hotel and drive us to each meeting we had. She really went above and beyond. She also never once complained or was bothered by the amount of emails/texts we had within all those months at whatever time of the day it was. This was very critical for us, being that we were not locals.
    On the day of our wedding I could not believe all those months and months of planning how everything came together. Of course the weather in Miami you cant always trust so some major things had to change on the big day. But Mayrelis and her team got it done. My husband and I had the best day of our lives and it was the wedding of our dreams. We couldn’t have done it without her. Mayrelis you were not only our wedding planner, but you became part of our family and we are forever grateful for you. Thank you for everything!!!

    PS. See you soon!! =)
