Matt Sent on 07/31/2023Best Money We Spent
Oh my, I’m not even sure where to begin. To say Courtney and Shelby made our craziest dreams come true is both hyperbole, and accurate. My wife and I approached La Luz with a wedding weekend — a luxury, multi-day event with many twists and turns for our guests. We got to treat everyone with many surprises at the Four Seasons in Santa Fe, all brought to life by La Luz — from salsa and margarita icebreaker competitions, to friend swap events, to a reception twist where everyone had to look under their seat; Courtney and Shelby brought all of it to life. But the biggest surprise for us was how close of friends they became. Working with them was like working with your best, most organized, prompt, and ‘we’ll make it happen’ friends. They helped us through every detail, and crisis (like the wedding dress getting stained 5 days before the big day!) I can’t praise this group enough, and am ready to have them plan more than just our wedding!

My husband and I booked Shelby and her incredible team at La Luz with radiance package (full service planning). I have nothing but great things to say Shelby. She was kind, patient, knowledgeable, hard-working, efficient, and just awesome!!
We were planning our event from out of state and she did such a great job with communication and being our eyes and ears before choosing vendors. Each vendor she sourced performed amazingly and were excellent fits for our expectations. She does such a great job of being a calming presence while also being on-the-ball type A person that gets sh*t done!! The planning process was fantastic, we met with her monthly to discuss key planning tasks, make decisions and build vision for the event. Tasks that we needed to follow up on were organized and easy to access on our wedding portal (also completely set up by La Luz and VERY helpful). The portal was a great resource, it was well organized and definitely helped keep my head on straight. Between meetings she was easy to contact and always had helpful insight when we were on the fence with planning decisions. She kept us on track so that none of this felt rushed or overwhelming. The day of the ceremony was perfect. She kept us fed and hydrated and had made sure all the work was taken care of before-hand in the planning process so that we could just relax and enjoy our day. I highly recommend her and her team. We definitely made the right choice when choosing her, we are very glad to have found her early on in the planning process. -

Judi Sent on 04/20/2026Terrific, organized and flexible
I am a super organized person and didn’t think we needed a wedding organizer but several unexpected events came up that would have been stressful had Shelby handled them in a prompt, efficient manner. We can’t say enough superlatives about La Luz Weddings and Events. Shelby provided outstanding service and was incredibly organized from start to finish. When we ran into a major issue with our original caterer, she stepped in immediately and, within hours, found a new caterer with the same menu and even made sure we received a refund from the original vendor.
With 14 grandchildren, a dog, and lots of moving parts in a complicated wedding, Shelby made sure every detail was completed ahead of time so I could truly relax and enjoy a fun-filled, meaningful day. We are beyond grateful and wholeheartedly recommend La Luz Weddings and Events to anyone looking for a planner who is calm, capable, and absolutely exceptional.
Her impressive array of spreadsheets, lists, and planning documents kept every detail organized and gave us so much peace of mind. On the wedding day, we had several participants come down with a virus, but Shelby handled everything seamlessly—guiding a replacement maid of honor, dog handler, and priest into their roles without missing a beat.

Megan Sent on 11/23/2025Do yourself and favor and hire Courtney with La Luz Weddings and Events!
My husband and I chose Courtney from La Luz Weddings and Events as our wedding planner and coordinator and we couldn't have been happier. From the very beginning, she was organized, calm, and on top of every detail. Exactly what we needed.
Courtney coordinated with all of my vendors pre wedding day and had a ton of helpful templates to help you organize and plan your wedding. On the actual wedding day, she made everything flow so smoothly that my husband and I were able to just enjoy the day with our friends and family instead of stressing about what was supposed to happen next. It felt like everything magically fell into place, but we know it was really Courtney behind the scenes making it all happen. I used rental flowers and was so worried that some of the arrangements would be lost or thrown away. Courtney and her team ensured everything was set up perfectly and that everything was boxed up and ready to go at the end of the night while everyone was enjoying themselves and dancing.
One thing we loved is how she kept finding us throughout the night with food and drinks, making sure we actually ate and stayed hydrated. It was such a small thing, but it meant so much and made us feel genuinely cared for.
If you’re looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your day perfect, we couldn’t recommend Courtney more. She made our day better than we ever imagined! -

William Sent on 11/15/2025Incredible service do yourself a favor, you'll be glad you did!
We are so glad we got help planning our wedding from LLW&E! It was the best investment we could have made to ensure a memorable and stress-free time. The value of the 8-week splendor package was incredible! Courtney was available anytime we had questions, and the planning portal was so well organized and useful. Going into the last 8 weeks before our wedding Courtney worked with our vendors and put together an awesome day of timeline that made everything easy on our end! She was also incredibly attentive and made sure to understand our priorities and made adjustments and suggestions to accommodate! In hindsight it was a no-brainer! Thank you La Luz Weddings and Events! -

Rick Sent on 11/03/2025The Calm, Caring, and Brilliant Force Behind Our Best Day Ever
Working with Shelby from La Luz Weddings and Events was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, Shelby’s warmth, organization, and genuine passion for what she does shone through. She instantly made me feel like I was in the best hands — and she delivered above and beyond every single step of the way.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Shelby was a calm and steady presence. She anticipated things before I did, offered thoughtful advice, and handled every little curveball with such grace that I never had to worry. On the day of the wedding, she was an absolute powerhouse — putting out fires quietly and efficiently, keeping everyone on schedule, and somehow doing it all with a smile on her face and positive energy that was contagious.
What I appreciated most was that Shelby truly cared. She wasn’t just checking boxes or running through timelines — she took the time to understand what mattered most to us and made sure those moments came to life exactly how we imagined (and better!). She made me feel seen, supported, and completely at ease throughout the entire process.
It’s rare to meet someone who is both highly professional and genuinely kind, but that’s Shelby in every way. She’s organized, creative, endlessly patient, and radiates positivity. Our day was perfect because of her — and I can’t imagine it without her steady guidance and heart.
If you’re planning a wedding and want someone who will go above and beyond, handle the chaos so you don’t have to, and bring pure light and joy to your day, Shelby and La Luz Weddings and Events are it. She is truly a beautiful person inside and out, and I’m forever grateful for all she did to make our wedding everything we dreamed of. -

Jen Sent on 10/08/2025Would plan a wedding again and again with Shelby and La Luz Event Planning! LOVED HER!
If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Planning a wedding and on the fence about whether a planner is worth the money? Don’t second guess it- hire Shelby and her team immediately. From the very first time we met with Shelby, she made us feel so taken care of and made our day run so absolutely smooth our guests were complimenting us the entire evening. Shelby has such a detailed oriented perspective and genuinely cares about her couples. We cannot recommend La Luz Event Planning enough. From providing the groom last minute hair spray the day of the wedding to gracefully handling last minute changes with a calming presence- Shelby is an amazing event coordinator and brings so much love and care to her work. We felt like Shelby was family by the end of our wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire this team, it’ll make your day 100X better! -

Andrew Sent on 05/08/2025Everyone needs a wedding planner like La Luz
If you have gotten to the point where you are reading the La Luz reviews, then it's time you book with them. If one of the partners to your team thinks why do we even need a planner then let me tell you. I do not have enough great things to share about Courtney and the team at La Luz Weddings and Events. We planned an ABQ wedding from out of state and the La Luz team helped provide great peace of mind and an attention to detail beyond what we were thinking about. On the day of the wedding, to have a familiar face keep everything in line, to be someone you can ask something of, it allowed us and our parents to cherish every moment. You'll read about the personalities of the the La Luz planners and staff, it's all true. La Luz pairs a relaxed easy to work with demeanor with a diligent work ethic and attention to detail. We had somewhat of a non-traditional wedding, filled with weekend activities for our guests, to have La Luz be part of the process, was critical. I would absolutely recommend their services. -

Zoe P. Sent on 12/12/2024100% recommend La Luz for all your wedding planning needs!
Hiring La Luz and Shelby as our wedding planner/coordinator was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. We did Month+ wedding planning with La Luz and Shelby and we say that our one regret of wedding planning was not hiring Shelby to help us plan the whole thing! She is so organized and so on top of everything that it was a breath of fresh air when she took over 8 weeks out from our wedding. We trusted her so wholeheartedly that we felt a huge weight off our shoulders when she took over. She was always responsive to email and texts (if needed for something more time pressing). She was also such a calming presence for us at the rehearsal and on the wedding day, because we knew that she would be expertly handling everything. She handled some difficult vendor situations very kindly and respectfully, and kept us insulated from some of the more complicated sides of wedding planning. We would recommend Shelby and La Luz to anyone getting married in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe area. Thank you for everything, Shelby -

Devin Sent on 11/08/2024Best day of my life
Our Santa Fe wedding was absolutely perfect and it is all thanks to Courtney and her exceptional work in helping us plan our wedding for the past year. She is both a calming presence and doesn't miss a detail, two qualities which are rare to find together in one person.
We were working with a somewhat non-traditional wedding venue that required a more DIY approach in bringing together a lot of different vendors and Courtney did not shy away from any challenges thrown our way.
Everything went off without a hitch and the wedding proved to be the most amazing day of our lives. This is completely to the credit of Courtney and her team - hiring La Luz was the best decision we made besides getting married itself! -

Kristi Sent on 11/03/2024Best Wedding Planner EVER!
After being recommended Shelby by friends, contracting with her was the first (and best) decision we made for planning our wedding. We ended up going with her Month Of Plus+ package. She shared planning timelines for us for the year leading up to our wedding, which were so helpful! Following her checklists made planning on our end so simple. Her vendor recommendations were flawless, as well. Once we hit the 8 week mark, she completely took over. She always referred to us for final decisions, but contacted all of our vendors and arranged everything perfectly. Shelby did everything in her power to keep us as least stressed as possible. On our big day, everything was seamless and so organized. We received so many compliments on how the day flowed so well and on the lack of hiccups. All of this was thanks to Shelby!
She is a true master event planner. She is professional, but also warm and funny and kind. She had every minute detail accounted for, and our wedding day was perfect as a result.
I am SO glad we hired Shelby to help plan our wedding. I will be forever grateful to her for helping us have the best day ever! -

Alfonso Sent on 09/05/2024Best Decision We Made – Our Wedding Was Flawless Thanks to Her!
We cannot recommend our wedding planner highly enough! From the very start, she was incredibly involved and organized, guiding us through every step of the process. We had monthly status calls to keep everything on track, and her attention to detail was unmatched. She was always responsive, no matter the time or day, and her insights were invaluable.
On the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. Every guest complimented us on how seamlessly everything flowed, with many saying it was one of the best weddings they'd ever attended. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our day without any stress. Honestly, hiring her was the best investment we could have made—we couldn't have done it without her! -

Magdalena Sent on 07/25/2024Hands-down our best wedding investment -- Courtney and the La Luz team are amazing!
As our month-of coordinator, Courtney was SO integral to the success of our wedding! Planning our wedding out-of-state was logistically challenging, but Courtney always stayed on top of it, she was extremely responsive and helpful (even before the final month), and made sure everything went off without any issues. She is very organized, knowledgeable, and kind. Many of our guests and vendors were extremely impressed with her and her assistant, Tabitha. We would recommend Courtney and the La Luz team to anyone and everyone!

We hired La Luz Weddings and Events as our month-of wedding coordinator. Courtney and her team made our big day a success! They were organized, professional, and simply a joy to work with!

Alicia Sent on 03/11/2024As a fellow vendor, we love working with this team!
Working with Courtney, Shelby and the La Luz team is always an absolute DREAM. As photographers, we know how much of a difference it makes to have planners who are not only incredibly organized but also genuinely kind, communicative, and full of positive energy. These two bring it. Every. Single. Time.
Their communication is thoughtful, timely, and thorough, making our job so much easier and more enjoyable. On the wedding day, they're right there with smiles on, solving problems before they even exist and keeping the entire vibe upbeat and seamless.
Courtney and Shelby are true pros and just amazing humans. Any couple would be lucky to have them in their corner. We always look forward to working with them and can’t recommend them highly enough! -

Dylan Sent on 10/26/2023Proposal Under the Eclipse
I knew nothing about New Mexico except that I wanted to propose to my fiancée there. This wasn't a normal ask but when I reached out to Shelby, she got creative and made it work. She helped me scout out locations, she found the vendors, put together a timeline and made sure everything went smoothly minute by minute. I had a budget and she definitely helped me stay within it. My vision for how I wanted this to go couldn't have been done without her.
I got to focus on the day, my partner, what I was supposed to say and it was perfect. I'd love to work with her again, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. Thank you Shelby! -

Julia Sent on 09/02/2023La Luz helped us throw a dream wedding
We were completely blown away by the care and attention to detail La Luz brought to planning and coordinating our wedding! Wedding planning can get pretty overwhelming at times, but our stress was greatly decreased by working with Lauren. To anyone out there unsure whether your need a coordinator or not....you definitely do!!
In the months before the wedding, Lauren met with us multiple times to go over the details or our big day and helped us identify many small issues that we hadn't thought of ourselves. As the wedding approached, Lauren checked in with our 10+ vendors to confirm services, coordinate drop off times, etc. During this process, Lauren noticed that one of our vendors was not being very responsive. She dug in a little further and found that this vendor had failed to provide the promised services to several other weddings in recent weeks. Sure enough, about 4 days before our wedding, this vendor canceled on us, leaving us with no tables or chairs for our event. However, thanks to Lauren, this wasn't really an issue because we were prepared with a backup rental plan. I don't think we would have caught this issue in time to fix it without Lauren's help!
Overall, Lauren was knowledgeable, flexible, and easy to work with. She always remained calm (even when we weren't!) and helped us navigate and plan every part of our wedding weekend. The day of the wedding was fun and relaxing because Lauren was behind the scenes taking care of all the logistics! The day truly wouldn't have been the same without her. We highly recommend working with La Luz and with Lauren in particular! -

Cyndi Sent on 07/31/2023The wedding was perfect thanks to La Luz!
Wow! Working with Shelby and Courtney was seriously a dream. Not only were they beyond helpful, but they are so friendly and easy to get along with that we were thrilled to have them be part of our big day. We had a pretty complex wedding with many events spread across several days as well as it being destination (we nor did majority of our guests live in NM). But Shelby and Courtney took on the challenge without a sweat and delivered beyond belief! When people ask us now how we feel about the wedding looking back on it, one of the first things we say is how it went exactly as we wanted and planned. The only reason that happened is due to Shelby and Courtney's amazing quality of work, detailed nature, and knowledge/respect in the local wedding community. My husband and I are both extreme planners and are also very detail oriented, so the trust Shelby and Courtney built up with us that resulted in us letting go of the reins and not feeling the need to jump in with any spreadsheets or "what if's" was a true gift. I can honestly say the best decision we made related to the wedding was hiring La Luz! -
![Tim]()
Tim A. Sent on 07/18/2023Yes, you DO need a day of coordinator!
My now husband and I hired Courtney and La Luz to serve as a day of coordinator for our July wedding. I didn't initially believe that I needed a day of coordinator or a wedding planner, but I'm so glad I hired La Luz! The day of package is a bit of a misnomer as Courtney worked with us a lot prior to the wedding, not just the day of. We met with Courtney at least twice prior to the wedding and she was available whenever I had questions or last minute ideas or concerns. Courtney even caught that the videography company I'd originally booked had gone into bankruptcy and helped me book a replacement only a month out from my wedding.
I'd already booked all of my vendors and had the majority of my wedding planned and Courtney helped fully organize and pull everything together, just like I'd visualized. Courtney organized all of my vendors, helped wrangle my family, and kept everyone on schedule and on the same page. She was so friendly and sweet and was truly the best to work with.
My day was practically perfect and I'm sure it's because of Courtney and La Luz. I'm sure that something or multiple things went wrong the day of, but I wouldn't know because Courtney handled everything! She made sure my now husband and I stayed hydrated, actually had time to enjoy the dinner we'd spent ages deciding on, and even managed to bring us the canapés from our cocktail hour.
If you're unsure if you need a wedding planner because you've already booked all of your vendors and planned basically all of your wedding, the answer is you do and you need La Luz. Your day is going to go by so fast and having Courtney and La Luz allowed me to take in and enjoy as much of the wedding I'd planned as humanly possible. 100% would book again for any event. -

My now husband and I could not have pulled off the amazing wedding we had without the event planning services Courtney at La Luz Weddings and Events provided. She was detailed, organized, and made herself available to problem solve any issues. She became such an integral part of our wedding and a resource for our family and friends as well. Our wedding day went so smoothly and she fostered a collaborative, fun environment with all of our other vendors. My husband and I had the BEST day because Courtney was there and we didn't have to worry at all! Would highly, HIGHLY recommend Courtney and La Luz Weddings and Events. -

Colton Sent on 06/25/2023The Coordinator You Need!
Shelby from La Luz was our month-of coordinator and from the first meeting we could tell we made the right decision hiring her. If you are all uncertain of how helpful having a coordinator/planner can be, let me tell you we did not regret it one bit, and we really didn't anticipate just how helpful it would be. It's especially helpful when your coordinator is as professional, detail-oriented, and proactive as Shelby is.
Leading up to Wedding: Shelby seamlessly picked up the planning and coordinating from what we had in place when she started ~8 weeks before the wedding. She helped us find the things we had missed or hadn't thought about, gave us suggestions on how to make our ceremony and reception perfect, and had answers for every single little question we came up with. She did all this while keeping an upbeat and positive attitude with us without fail. Shelby and the La Luz team share their digital planning resources with you on google drive to keep the progress organized and documented, which made it so easy for us to keep an open line of communication about what we needed to do, what Shelby was working on, and what was still left to finish. When rain and thunderstorms threatened our outdoor plans, Shelby was ready with multiple contingency plans for us to choose from and she was able to work with our vendors to make sure the show would go on no matter what the weather brought. While we were panicking, she was encouraging while still being realistic, which was just what we needed.
During the Wedding Weekend: Shelby really was the glue that held our wedding weekend together. She and her assistant Tabitha (who also just seemed to naturally know how to help make the day run smoothly) showed up hours ahead of time to help decorate and direct the other vendors as they showed up. She took care of all the details big and small, from pinning on my boutonnière, to putting on my wife's vail, to adjusting the flower girls' flower crowns, to directing the entire ceremony. During the reception, she made sure everything happened right down to the minute we had planned on the timeline, and still somehow made time to bring us cocktails.
Shelby took the absolute best care of us and I cannot recommend her and La Luz enough. Shelby and Courtney are experts - you will not regret hiring them. -

Maddie Sent on 08/01/2022Amazing!
If I could give La Luz Weddings and Events more than five stars, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Going into planning for our one-year anniversary celebration, I was confident that we’d be able to figure out all of the details on our own—let’s just say that our confidence disappeared a few months into planning. Working full time while trying to plan a major event is STRESSFUL. We hired La Luz for month-of coordination and it was the best decision that we made and COMPLETELY worth the investment. From start to finish, Shelby took so much weight off of our shoulders and made the month-of much less stressful. Not only that, but on the day-of, the La Luz team helped set up, kept the event run on track, coordinated with vendors, cleaned up, and was there for any additional support we needed. We are so grateful for La Luz Weddings and Events!
If you’re on the fence and maybe don’t think hiring a coordinator is worth it, take it from me—it is 100% worth it.

Michael Sent on 07/31/2022Organized, Attentive, and Stress reducing
Shelby and the La Luz Weddings and Events crew were wonderful to work with and did a wonderful job planning and executing our wedding. We met with Shelby a hand full of times but she was so organized and detailed in her approach it took away so much of the stress when planning the wedding. The level of communication was perfect and Shelby kept track of what and when we needed to get certain things done so that everything got done in time and was always willing to take on more if we requested it. The day of the wedding, she ensured everything ran smoothly, which allowed us to relax and have fun! It was the perfect wedding experience.
There are too many qualities to bring up here but if you're looking for a stellar wedding or event (Shelby helped us plan an after party as well the day after our wedding) planner, we highly recommend Shelby and the group at La Luz Weddings and Events. -

Joyful experience
Shelby Wolfe is a fantastic wedding planner! She is so organized and kept us on track as a couple for our big day. She does everything with intentionality, joy, and kindness. Both my partner and I recommend doing the premium package with La Luz as it took so much of the not so fun parts of the process (rentals, timelines, vendor research) off our plates. And Shelby and her whole team made the process fun! Thanks to you all! -

I couldn't imagine our wedding without Shelby and her team! They were AMAZING leading up to and on the big day! So organized and helpful, she even recommended a wonderful couple for our church music when we realized we were without. La Luz Wedding was a great pick and I am so happy that we found Shelby and her team. Shelby was great in nailing down any details big or small, even brought some details to our attention that we forgot about. She communicated with all our vendors and made sure the schedule for the day was perfect. One of my favorite memories with Shelby was turning to her to help me with my bustle and she had it done in seconds. It was the perfect day and Shelby and her team made my wedding vision come true. -

Ashley Sent on 07/06/2022Shelby was an amazing coordinator!!
We hired Shelby as a month of planner for my wedding in Ribera, NM at Blame Her Ranch. From the very start Shelby was responsive, attentive and provided us with all the documentation needed to help keep track our vendors and budget. A month before our wedding, she took over communication with all of our vendors. It was such a big help since we were road tripping to our wedding destination and wouldn't be able to wrap things up ourselves. Shelby and her assistant were there for the rehearsal dinner and stayed overnight with us on the ranch which was great just in case anything came up! On the wedding day Shelby was an absolute pro!!! She quickly reorganized the ceremony and some reception details when we got completely rained out from monsoon like rain. She knew all the right questions to ask and was quick on her feet to run decisions by me and the Groom. Without Shelby's help and coordination I don't think our wedding would have ran as smooth as it did. She is amazing and we are so happy we hired her!! I would 100% recommend La Luz Wedding Events to other Brides or anyone looking for event coordination. -

Shannon Sent on 07/02/2022Honestly the best vendor decision we made
My husband and I were happy to plan our wedding ourselves and got the rest of our vendors set up, but about 6 months before we began to feel overwhelmed with keeping logistics of it all straight. So we hired Shelby from La Luz to be a day-of coordinator with some extra hours of planning help before the event. This was the best wedding wedding decision we made hands down! Shelby was super responsive and organized. She helped us make sure we covered all the little details that needed deciding (like what dances we should do, who is in charge of grabbing decorations at the end of the night, etc.), helped plan our timeline, and took over correspondence with our other vendors to make sure they arrived and got set up at the venue. This took a lot off of our shoulders and was such a relief. Then the weekend of, Shelby and her assistant Raquel led a very good rehearsal and made the wedding so smooth - intercepting and answering questions from family, keeping people on schedule, etc. All we had to do was be there and enjoy being in the moment of getting married! On top of it all, Shelby was so kind and a great hype girl for our ideas. Highly highly highly recommend Shelby and La Luz to other couples who want any amount of coordination help!! -

Anne Sent on 01/03/2020You'll be well taken care of with Courtney!
Courtney is an absolute joy to work with. She's super responsive and answered every one of our million and one questions while we planned our wedding. She had positive suggestions when we were at a loss and even came up with questions we didn't think to ask in the first place. She would check in with us when she hadn't heard from us in awhile and never left an unanswered email between us. With her help, during planning and on the day of, we had a beautiful ceremony and a great reception as well. Would highly recommend! -

We are so thankful that we had Courtney as our wedding planner. I don’t know how we would have done it without her. She knows and has worked with so many people in the wedding business which made the process seamless. Any time we had questions or concerns, she was able to respond to us quickly and put our minds at ease. Courtney takes care of everything you need and we always felt like we were her top priority. Courtney, thank you again for making our special day perfect and stress free. -

Jessica Sent on 12/20/2019We Couldn't Have Gotten Married Without Courtney!!
My husband and I picked all of our wedding vendors based on 3 things- our budget, of course, their receptiveness to us having our dogs in the wedding, and how we vibed with the vendor themselves. I was super impressed from the first time I talked to Courtney at how well she checked all of those boxes! When she met us and gave us a tour of the venue she was working at, she sat down and really took the time to get to know us and figure out what kind of vibe we were looking for. We decided to hire her and were so pleased- she was super easy to get a hold of & had great insights on other vendors in the Albuquerque area. She gave us time to make decisions & helped guide us when we were lost with too many decisions to make! Wedding planning as a whole is HARD!! Courtney helped coordinate every aspect, and made sure our day ran smoothly and perfectly. We could not have done it without Courtney's help.
