Beyond Grateful for Lina Bender- She brought our dream wedding to life!
We are extremely thankful for Lina! Her dedication, commitment, work ethic and enthusiasm is one of a kind. My wedding was magical, beyond anything I could have ever imagined. It was everything I dreamed of and Lina brought it to life.
From the moment I met Lina, I instantly connected with her and completely trusted her with planning my wedding. She listened to our ideas, she treated us with kindness and respect, she kept us updated with every detail from small to big, she was always available to answer any questions, she worked so hard to bring together the best dream team of vendors and she made us a priority. She was exceptional!
I met Lina through Wish Upon a Wedding. Wish Upon a Wedding is a non-profit organization that grants free weddings to couples who are facing terminal illnesses or who have gone through life altering health circumstances. Last year in 2019, I was diagnosed with brain and neck cancer. My husband proposed to me two days before my brain surgery. Unfortunately, due to all the medical expenses and my medical condition, we did not have the funds nor the time to plan our dream wedding. Wish Upon a Wedding contacted Lina and she immediately jumped on board to help plan our wedding. Without any hesitation, Lina immediately began working on our wedding, volunteering and dedicating so much of her time to make our special day possible.
Shortly after beginning our wedding planning, we were faced with a new challenge- The Covid Pandemic. Even during the pandemic and all the obstacles the wedding industry faced, Lina worked tirelessly for months contacting and putting together a dream team of vendors for our wedding. She was very organized, punctual, professional and adapted to any changes. She brought together the best vendors in South Florida and found us the most beautiful venue. The venue Lina Bender found us was absolutely beautiful, tropical, unique and everything we wanted. It exceeded our expectations!
The day of the wedding, Lina took care of every detail. She was there very early organizing and communicating with all the vendors and guests. I did not have to worry or stress out about anything. Thanks to Lina Bender, I was able to forget about my medical condition and enjoy every moment of my dream wedding. She made me feel so loved and I could not thank her enough for all her hard work. I was so overwhelmed with happiness and joy. Every detail of my wedding was perfect and I cherished every second of it.
I highly recommend Lina Bender for any and all events. She is the best wedding planner and I assure you that she will make your special day an unforgettable one.-

Best Wedding Planner
My daughter got married in July 9, 2022. We hired Lina to help us organize the wedding because both my daughter and I don’t live in Miami. She was exceptionally organized and helped us to find some of the vendors for the wedding. The wedding day, she absolutely took care of every single detail and everything was absolutely perfect!. We will recommend Lina 100 % Thanks Lina for everything you did for us! 😁🥰❤️ -

Lina was the best. Very organized and had even under control. She handled all the issues timely and provided a piece mind that everything was taken care of. I really feel like Lina went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was a stress free experience. We couldn’t have done it without her. -

Miracle Worker!
We hired Lina for my wedding, and I am so thankful that we did! From the beginning, she was extremely helpful and responsive to all of the questions that I had, and she did a wonderful job with communicating with both my mother and I from our first conversation, to our last. We could tell that she had a lot of experience and it put me at ease throughout the planning process. Lina did a wonderful job of helping me find my vendors and was able to set me up with a wonderful florist, amongst other great vendors! She made sure that everything was put together and would run smoothly, and it did! She coordinated all of the small details that would not have even occurred to me, and help facilitate all of the little tasks that come with wedding planning. Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL thanks to Lina. Everyone, including our guests, were taken care of and commented on how beautifully everything was put together. She was a total lifesaver for my wedding day, and I would 100% recommend her services! We can't thank Lina enough for helping us plan our wedding day! I cannot say thank you enough, and I cannot recommend her services enough! -

Thank you, Lina for planning the wedding of our dreams!
My husband and I just got married 3 weeks ago, and Lina made the entire process as stress free and painless as possible. She was incredibly responsive to our (many) texts and calls, and she’s just a genuinely warm and kind person to be around. You can tell that she’s very passionate about what she does, and it shows through her work. We knew we wanted a drag show for our entertainment, and when she told us during our first call that she had previously planned drag weddings, we knew right away that she would bring something special to the table. I would absolutely recommend her to my friends and loved ones in a heartbeat. Thank you again, Lina for making our day so special! -

Best Planner Ever!
I contacted Lina after looking online and seeing she had great reviews. She responded right away and scheduled a video call, where she walked us through all the important details of our special day. We could tell she had a lot of experience, and she made us feel confident about leaving our wedding in her hands. We made the right decision because Lina immediately took over. The month prior to our wedding, Lina coordinated with all vendors so that I was stress free. On the actual wedding day she made sure I was relaxed and focused on getting ready, I didn’t even lift a finger. Our day ran smoothly and right on schedule, everything turned out beautifully and we have Lina to thank. We couldn’t have made a better choice. Thanks again, Lina, for all the time, work, and effort you put into making our wedding day the best it could be! -

Easy to deal with!
From the first time we spoke with Lina we felt very comfortable with her. She made it clear that she was here for us whenever we needed her. She was very responsive and accommodating with all of the requests we had, which were many. I really appreciate that about her and her willingness to help us at the drop of a time even if she had other events going on. -

Lina - A Wish Come True
I had the privilege of having Lina Bender as my wedding planner. She is a true professional and a class act. She treated us like celebrities. Lina is the type of person that always goes above and beyond her job description. From the very beginning of working together in planning my wedding, she was so attentive and a great collaborator. She is a a people person and a problem solver. You can feel that she loves her work, and is motivated to make your special day even more special. Lina always put our wants and needs before convenience. She was always available day or night and would always keep us informed with the latest updates on her end, even during a pandemic. Even at the day of the event, Lina was the first and last one at the wedding venue, taking care of all the details. She also wasn’t afraid to get hands to work on the details in order to ensure that everything went smoothly. I can’t say enough about how great she is as a person and wedding planner. If you are considering choosing her as your wedding planner- do it. She was a wish come true.-

El día que conocimos a Lina, nos sorprendió encontrar a una persona, que en una corta reunión, entendió exactamente el tipo de evento que queríamos, además sentimos que estábamos en manos de una experta, apasionada por lo que hacía y eso nos hizo tomar la decisión de contratarla sin dudarlo ni un segundo.
A partir de ese momento el proceso fue muy bonito, ella supo entender que nuestras agendas eran muy ocupadas y nos dio todo el apoyo, además, al saber exactamente lo que queríamos, nos proponía excelentes proveedores y siempre escogíamos la primera opción. Su trabajo de decoración es impecable, tiene un excelente gusto, siempre está pendiente del más mínimo detalle y se ajusta al presupuesto propuesto por los novios.
No dudaríamos en contratarla nuevamente, de hecho, ya le notificamos que es la encargada de todos los eventos futuros de esta nueva familia.

We feel obliged to write a personal recommendation note to Lina. She helped us to organize our wedding in 2011. She is an expert in the pressure and expectations involved in a preparation for a wedding.
She was very organized with checklists for different parts of the wedding from the preparatory phase till the end. Gave us direction, guidance and helped us build bridges with best vendors, which helped us make right choices without wasting any precious time and money. Always readily available to solve and to answer any questions whether it was minor or major. She always listened patiently to the bride and the mother of the bride.
As a result, we were calm on their big day, knowing that it was going to be flawless thanks to her detailed planning skills.
We will indeed recommend Lina to all our family and friends and to whoever is planning their big day. -

I highly recommend Lina as a wedding planner. My husband was in England, I was in Brazil and the wedding was in Colombia. she took care of every little detail and we had a “dream wedding”. There is nothing I could say it could have been better. Everything was just perfect! She was in control of everything and our wedding was stress free! Her magnificent experience shows with her results.
I can’t thank her enough and I can’t recommend her enough. I would just say if your wedding is in her hands, you wedding day is going to be the best day of your entire life! -

When my husband and I decided to get married, we had less than a month to organize the wedding as we had some commitments that we couldn’t postpone. Lina was fantastic, she organized everything for us and not just that, the amount of detail she put in to every single thing was fantastic. Lina is very creative and provided fantastic ideas to make our big day the most special day in our lives. We couldn’t have done it without her, I truly recommend Lina to everyone in need of a wedding planner. -

Lina: we will always be grateful for the wonderful wedding you organized for us, 6 years have passed but I perfectly remember that perfect day. Everything was impeccable, the plans before the wedding, the religious ceremony, the musicians, the delicious dinner and best of all: the party.

Lina is the best coordinator you could ever ask for! I live in Spain but was getting married in South Florida - obviously, this makes wedding planning more complicated and stressful. We met with Lina and we clicked with her immediately. She's honest and up front about everything in terms of costs, planning, etc. She found our venue and we could not have asked for a more perfect spot for our beach wedding. Every vendor she connected us with was incredible. She is also extremely flexible - our schedule changed a lot because we were coming in from out of country and she always made time for us when we needed it. Lina kept us on track and provided us with very detailed organized timelines for the planning process and the day of the wedding.
