    Having Planner Withdrawals!!!


    I’m so serious when I say I’m sad my time working with Madeline is over now that our wedding day has come and gone! It was such a pleasure working with her!
    I am beyond thrilled to share our 5-star review for the incredible work Madeline and her team did in making our wedding day a dream come true. From the outset of working with Puerto Rico’s Premier Destination Wedding Planner, @mvdestinationweddings, it was clear we were in exceptional hands. Her professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication over the past year and a half made our wedding unforgettable. Her expertise was instrumental in assembling an outstanding team of vendors. Her day-of team were the most attentive and looked out for our every need. I will never forget the time she dedicated. She was at the airport awaiting our arrival for each of our coordination trips and drove around with me to select every little detail! I will always be grateful for her expertise! I would have never been able to pull off our beautiful wedding without her!! As other brides have mentioned - She will truly be a lifelong friend!

Thanks Madeline for a marvelous and magical day!!!

    Excelente servicio 🥰

    Estoy más que agradecida con Madeline y su equipo de trabajo porque hicieron de nuestra boda un sueño hecho realidad. Trabajamos juntas durante casi 2 años y tengo que decir que su trabajo superó todas mis expectativas. Si tuviera que volver a elegir una planner la escogería a ella otra vez. Madeline me ayudó a escoger todos los detalles de la boda aun yo estando a distancia. Nunca tenía un no para nosotros. Es muy atenta y profesional. Sus dos asistentes son un amor que me atendieron como una reina el día del evento. Madeline trabajo mano a mano con José Raúl para crear una decoración de ensueño. En fin estoy más que feliz y complacida con el resultado final. Madeline siempre será de la familia ❤️

    Amazing & Caring

    I had the honor to work with Ms Valentin at the time we met from the beggining of the procees was in cinstant communication to ensure I felt satisfied and made sure we were on the same page. She guided me through the process every step of the way, best of all you don't know something? She will give you options according to the vision discussed. If you have a question or concern she had your back. She indeed organized the event with her crew over passing my expectations. Wonderful person to work with and best of all she is techy, you can send your inspirations through social media, pinterest and more! How cool is that?! She listens and writes your ideas for her to keep track of your vision and style. She can make your dreams come true, I have to say she is THE wedding wizard!

    Glad we crossed paths and have been my wedding godmother!

    Madeline was an amazing coordinator. I live in Austin, Texas and it was really important for me to have a reliable coordinator to make, my husband and I wedding, a special day. Madeline was very responsive and had great ideas for our special day. She communicated with me at any time of the day. We arrived to Puerto Rico 3 days before the wedding to do the paperwork for the officiant and Madeline went with us and help us through the process; it was quick and easy. Our wedding exceeded our expectation. It was so beautiful and organized. I'm very happy with all the vendors she recommended me. Gracias Madeline por todo!!!!

    Working with Madeline Valentine for my daughter`s wedding was a totally positive expirience. From the first time I contacted her to the wedding day on june 8, 2018. We mostly communicated through email since my family and I live in Germany and the wedding took place in Puerto Rico. It all worked out great. It was beautiful and perfectly organized! Madeline is honest, reliable, very organized, professional, and such a warm person. I highly recommend her.

    I got married at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, Isla Verde beach resort and Madeline was our wedding coordinator for the day. I thank my lucky stars for Madeline! From the start of our planning she was there to answer my questions and was kind enough to help us when needed. The day of the wedding went off smoothly, she took care of everything and was super sweet. Madeline was very professional and all my guests had great things to say about her. I highly recommend Madeline if you're planning a destination wedding on PR, she knows her stuff!

    It is truly my honor and privilege to have had the honor of working with Madeline and now, trying to find the words to express her amazing gift and talent as a wedding planner. When we got engaged in Puerto Rico we knew we had to return for a destination wedding. Recommended to us by the San Juan Intercontinental hotel, our wedding venue we decided to pursue contact. From our first correspondence to our last, Madeline is professional, calming, reassuring, positive and highly knowledgeable. She held our hands during the entire planning process and truly made our destination wedding dreams come true. In the 1 year + working together Madeline became family so when we finally met for the first time when she picked us up at the airport, it was like greeting my mom. Madeline will always hold a special place in our hearts. We are grateful for the magnificent 3 day event she helped to coordinate. Hiring Madeline, my fairy godmother was the BEST first decision that we made. Love you Madeline????

    Madeline was fantastic. We had actually tried another wedding planner in PR who was a complete disaster. We really wanted to get married in the Camuy Caverns and the wedding planner we had first cancelled on us because she couldn't figure it out and still charged us. Madeline was then referred to us by our photographer and she was able to get us booked at the caverns immediately. The wedding went smoothly and everything worked out perfectly. It is nerve wrecking getting married someplace far away and she made it easy and was very on top of things.

    I moved from Switzerland to Puerto Rico with the idea to start my business and plan our wedding within less than 10 month. A big challenge I couldn't have done without Madeline!!! Madeline was referred to us by our Photographer. The day I met her, I was instantly sure that our wedding was going to be the day I've always dreamed of.  

    Madeline has an amazing personality. She is very professional and responsible and gave me so many hearty laughs and warm words which meant so much to me.  She gave me all the flexibility I needed to manage the wedding planning and all my other big projects without feeling under pressure.  

    What I really appreciate about Madeline is the fact that she understood my wish to merge the wedding traditions in this part of the world with my ideas from Switzerland. All her inputs were fantastic and she inspired me to stay creative and happy during all the wedding planning.  

    The team Madeline recommended (decor / DJ / cake / transportation ...) was just the best of the best. My high expectations of service quality were more than satisfied. Madeline and her assistant made the wedding day to the best day of our life! There is nothing more valuable than completely enjoying your wedding because you know there is the best wedding coordinator running your very special day.  

    Thank you so much Madeline!!! Every day I saw you, it was a happy day for me. I'm so happy to have found you as our wedding coordinator and friend. Wilmer and I wish you happy holidays!

    Madeline was an amazing wedding planner and friend! When I embarked on planning my wedding, I had no idea what to do, and she was always there to guide me every step of the way. From our first conversation nearly a year before our wedding I knew I could trust her, and that she would be like family. I was in the middle of a lot of life transitions and planning my wedding from afar was a challenge, and she was always more than understanding with my busy work schedule. She met with my mom in PR to look at the venue we chose and look at decorations. She helped calm my anxiety and clear my doubts many times. They day of the wedding, a lot of rearranging had to be done, and she was effective at executing everything. Everything on our special day turned out perfect for us, and we enjoyed every second of our wedding. I don't know what I would have done without Madeline! I recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to plan a fun, beautiful wedding.

    We currently live in Texas and chose to have a destination wedding in Puerto Rico. Madeline was referred to us by our venue. She is extremely knowledgeable and has the sweetest disposition, she really makes you feel like family. She helped us put together a great team of vendors!

    Our wedding was such a mixed crowd, from Spanish only speakers, to English only, party animals to very religious. Madeline worked with us to find solutions to help make everybody comfortable and have an enjoyable experience. Best of all, we didn't have to worry about a thing during our wedding! I've been to so many weddings where the bride and groom don't get to enjoy the day worrying about what's going on behind the scenes. This was not our experience at all! We truly got to sit back and enjoy it knowing that we were in good hands!

    When Madeline made an exit, she told us she needed to go home and rest because she had bronchitis! 1. What a trooper! 2. Her smile never left her face during our event! Thank you so much for all of your hard work on our wedding!

    Words would not do justice for the incredible job Madeline did for our wedding. We met her a year and a half ago and our lives would never be the same again. Not only because of all of the magic she put into our wedding but because we have met an amazing person who is truly passionate and gifted at what she does. From day one Madeline was responsive and provided any help needed to make our dream wedding happen. Anything I asked for she made sure to make it worked... She even found a beautiful Popsicle bicycle cart that served freshly made pops from San Juan ... Organized having a bag piper at our wedding... Anything you wanted she was supportive and made it happen. Not only was she my saving grace with planning a destination wedding she delivered a wedding that was beyond our wildest dreams. The love and magic she put into our wedding was what made it so memorable. She worked so hard for us every step of the way! We are so grateful to have found her and now have a great friend. Our family adored her and already felt like she was part of the wedding. Her passion, talent and flawless professionalism is what helped make our day so wonderful. Our families will never forget our big day for the rest of their lives. Words cannot express the happiness she has given us... Any one is lucky and bound to have their dream wedding come true with Madeline on their side. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Madeline!!

    Madeline was great from the moment I met her over the phone. She was very well organized in all of our planning and made sure everything was to our liking. All her suggestions were honest and very helpful. Her time and effort definitely shines and we are so thankful to have met a genuine, wonderful lady who really enjoys making dreams come true.

    As soon as I met Madeline Valentine during my wedding prep trip to Puerto Rico I knew I had hired the right person. She was very responsive to any method of communication I chose from the first time I contacted her, until even now after the wedding. She made great recommendations for choosing all my vendors and has so many connections and tricks up her sleeve that she is prepared to handle any unexpected or last minute situation. For example, three days before the wedding I got an email from the website I bought the sparklers for my wedding exit telling me they couldn't ship my sparklers to Puerto Rico. I panicked because you can't get those in PR unless it's fireworks season, which it was not. I called Madeline and not only did she offer me some sparkles she had left over from a previous wedding, but she personally went to party city and bought supplies so she could hand-make me 65 candle crafts so the rest of my guests could participate of the wedding exit. She didn't even charge me for the trouble she went through making these crafts in a such a last minute situation! Hiring Madeline made my wedding day stress-free and a success! Not only is she a great wedding planner, but she has won a special place in our hearts and I would recommend her to any future bride and groom in a heart beat!

    If you’re reading this, you’re probably considering hiring a wedding planner in Puerto Rico. You can stop your search now and hire Madeline Valentine. Madeline saved us time, money and so much stress. The best decision my husband and I made was hiring her. I truly couldn't imagine going back and planning our destination wedding without her.

    We selected our wedding venue prior to hiring Madeline and realized how much stress goes into hiring any vendor when you are having a destination wedding. When I decided to hire a wedding planner, Madeline was the 3rd and last planner I called. She was so helpful and gave me so much information before I even hired her. I felt that she really cared and I was so much less stressed after talking to her. She helped me choose all of our vendors before our first trip to Puerto Rico. Madeline scheduled all of our vendors to meet us at our hotel and drove us to our food tasting and to see our venue. Out of the kindness of her heart, she spent time showing us around the island and sharing their beautiful history with us.

    I was born in Puerto Rico and had many issues with my birth certificate which needed to be fixed in order to get our marriage license in PR. Madeline spent weeks helping me fix these issues. She went as far as to have a new birth certificate printed with my correct information and let me tell you this was no small task! She helped me with countless other issues I ran into. I wouldn't have made it to my wedding day without her help.

    Madeline's day-of service was amazing. There were a million little details that Madeline and her asistant took care of so that we and our loved ones didn’t have to. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Planning a wedding is so stressful and planning a destination wedding is that much more stressful. If you hire Madeline you won't regret it!

    We honestly feel she is a dear friend to us not just the best wedding planner EVER!!! :)

    Madeline was my day of wedding planner who I contracted through my venue, the Courtyard Marriottt Isla Verde. I don't know what I would have done without Madeline on my wedding day. She coordinated everything so I just had to sit back and relax. She was in my room first thing in the morning to make sure that everything was all set and she checked in on me throughout the day. She also coordinated with all of my vendors so that everything was seamless. She even stayed at my wedding until late into the night to ensure everything was going smoothly. I cannot say enough about Madeline's professionalism and calming demeanor. I highly recommend Madeline if you are planning a wedding in Puerto Rico. She is amazing. Thank you Madeline for everything. We love you!

    Madeline was an absolute angel from the beginning of this experience. She kept in constant contact prior to our trip to Puerto Rico, which helped her keep us confident and assured that all was going as planned. When we arrived during our planning trip, Madeline picked us up from the airport and showed us around a bit. She is so knowledgeable about the island, it's history, it's people and it's places.
    Madeline had prepared an itinerary for us which was wonderful. The vendors either met us at our hotel or other destinations that we were scheduled to visit. With her present it seemed as though the venues took us more seriously. Not to mention she seems to have a contact for everything.
    Everything about Madeline and her performance is and was wonderful. She is a fun loving and easy going professional with a huge heart. At no point did she overwhelm or exhaust us. Hiring her has been without a doubt one of the best decisions that we have made so far. Not only do we now have PR's best planner, we also have a gained a true friend. Thank you Madeline.

    PLANNING WEEK WRAP UP
    Date of arrival: 01/20/2014

    From the first moment of contact, we knew Madeline would do a wonderful job planning our wedding. She sounded genuinely interested in helping us, asked detailed questions, and made recommendations regarding our thoughts for our special day. She also helped us plan our initial trip to start the wedding planning process.

    When we visited Puerto Rico to start the planning process, Madeline picked us up from the airport and gave us a personal tour around San Juan which was a great way to start our trip. Since we came to her without even having a date or venue in mind, she booked appointments with venues based on our vision and told us about the benefits in our different options when selecting a date/season.

    To maximize our time, she had the vendors come to us. Whether we were meeting at a venue or just in the lobby of our own hotel, this greatly reduced the stress of running around trying to locate everyone ourselves. During our meetings, she was able to communicate exactly what we visualized for our wedding in a concise manner which allowed us more time get to know them and their work. Most importantly, she was honest with us. She listened to what we wanted, gave us her unbiased advice, and allowed us to choose whomever we felt comfortable with.

    Madeline was always sure to make us feel comfortable and never rushed us. We had a lot of fun during our trip and were able to return with some concrete results. So far, Madeline has been the most important part of our wedding; without her, we wouldn't have a date, venue, vendors, or a clue of where to start. At this point, I feel very confidant that the rest of the wedding planning will go on as seamlessly as our initial visit and I am excited to continue to work with her through the next steps of the process.

    I can't say enough good things about Madeline. She put up with me editing the contract (pulling things out) a few times to get the services within my budget and she did everything she could to still make sure I had a wonderful wedding. The caterer and officiant she hired for us were amazing. Madeline was extremely communicative every step of the way!! They wanted us to come back at the Demographic Registrars office later to pick up certificate but we were due at the airport to pick up a guest. I don't know how she did it but she convinced them to let us sign the form and she picked it up later herself.

    Thank you for helping us create our beautiful day!

    Madeline provided not only top notch service, but connected me with top of the line vendors who offered reasonable prices. The wedding went off without a single hitch and everything was beyond our expectations. Our guests all commented on what a spectacular event it was, and the best part was that we were totally stress free and able to just enjoy our special day. Madeline's warmth and compassion made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend her services if you are looking for the best of the best!

    Our wedding date was in September, 2008. My husband and I fell in love with Puerto Rico, having had two vacations there before we decided on a destination wedding for close family and friends. But how to plan it from far away Michigan? I was introduced to Madeline, and from there everything was perfect! Her level of communciation, attentiveness, and organization was fabulous. She arranged everything, and made our day very special. She was present throughout the entire event, and went out of her way to provide extra services for us we didn't expect. (Remember Costco, Madeline?) She became more than just a wedding planner to us, she became a friend. We are still in touch after five years!

    Simply amazing! Madeline is the best! She took care of everything for us and did not miss a thing. She was always available! I emailed her several times a day lol! The day of my wedding it was windy and the arbor we ordered blew away before the ceremony. Within minutes she had a new one there! She was on top of everything!

I know with out her our wedding wouldn't of been what is what absolute "Picture Perfect"! What a blessing she was to me, throughout the planning and even now after all these years! I know with out a doubt she is the one everybody needs to plan their wedding!!! Thanks again for all you did and still do:) Love Jodi and Derrick Guillory

    My husband & I met Madeline thru the Marriott in Puerto Rico, as one of the wedding planners. From our first encounter with Madeline, we connected & knew she was the one to handle our destination wedding. Her professionalism, her knowledge at her job, & wonderful ideas made our wedding so easy even though we were in Chicago. Madeline has great busines connections with other vendors that we needed to make our wedding as memorable & beautiful for our special day. She handled everything that we asked of her in a timely matter & always maintained communication with us. We have form a wonderful friendship with Madeline since & keep in touch each time my husband & I travel to Puerto Rico. Thank You, Madeline you are the best at what you do. Continue making brides dreams come true!!!

    I was 7 months pregnant at the time of my wedding and planning a Destination wedding on top of that! Madeline had become more than my planner, but my friend at the most stressful time of my life. I was more than pleased with how she helped me through this entire process as planning a wedding was the least of my worries. My wedding was exactly what I had envisioned. Her attention to detail made this day one that we will have forever in our memories!

    Ms. Valentine coordinated from A-Z my daughter's wedding at the beautiful Gran Melia Puerto Rico for 150 guest. Ms. Valentine's attention to details over exceeded our expectations. She held my daughter's hand throughout the entire event. Ms. Valentine and her team when above and beyond. Every detail was perfect. From the ceremony, entertainment, decoration...WOW! If I can give her 100 stars I would...but unfortunately this is a maximum five star rating. She worked long hours and always kept a big smile. She's unforgettable! My best always, Ms. Mildred Hernandez, Washington, DC

    Madeline Valentín provided excellent services for our beach wedding in Puerto Rico - she handled all requirements, including a tasting and visit prior to the event - a dinner prior to our service, the service and reception, and a brunch the next day. She pulled in all of the appropriate vendors including a photographer, a DJ, a restaraunt/caterers, decorations, etc. - all in a location outside of the continental United States. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an excellent wedding in Puerto Rico. We can't thank her enough for making our day truly amazing - would love to have her by our side again when we renew our vows.

    Surprise Birthday Party:
    Madeline Valentin is an event planner extraordinaire. She is passionate, focused, creative, and dogged when she needs to be. She played a pivotal role in planning my Dad’s 80th birthday. It turned out to be a memorable evening for him; one in which he danced, laughed, and enjoyed the company of all who were present.

    As the mother of the bride I was relieved to have a wedding planner that overlook our options with professional knowledge and commitment to the importance of this event in our lives. Madeline was informative, dedicated and made our day perfect and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to handle every aspect of your wedding. She is cordial and a pleasure to work with.

    Madeline has become more of a friend than just a wedding planner in helping me plan my dream destination wedding. She really listens and learns to envision your dream with you to make it a reality! She is there every step of the way, from taking the many phone calls, answering the silly emails and driving around Puerto Rico visiting vendors with us. I could not imagine any step of this wonderful journey without her!

    Amazing Experience!

    Thank you so much, Madeline! You were amazing, kind, professional, attentive, and on point answering back to our texts, calls, changes and concerns. You made it very easy for us since we were in the US while the wedding took place in PR. The wedding turned out absolutely beautiful and more than what I expected! It was an incredible experience working with you. Thanks again and God Bless you!

    I have no words to describe what an amazing job Madeline job did for our wedding. The best way to put it would be with a question…“What do you imagine when you picture your dream wedding?” Madeline exceeded our dream and then some. She is the go to person for a destination wedding in Puerto Rico. Not only did I fall in love with her, so did my entire family. She is gifted at what she does, is very responsive, makes it look so easy and is a beautiful person inside and out. I’m truly bless and grateful to her. She made one of the most important days in my life, one I will never forget!

    It’s been a little over two weeks from our big day, and I really wanted to wait before writing my review to see if my feelings have changed. Honestly, if you are planning to have a traditional hotel destination wedding, where the hotel is to provide ALL the amenities, I’m sure Madeline is wonderful. For our wedding, I was incredibly disappointed and would not recommend her services.
    What went wrong: I truly felt we did not get what we paid for, when Madeline physically did not show up to our wedding. She hadn’t even visited the property location prior to our event. Instead, she sent two assistants, that truly worked their butts off, but did not execute items as discussed. How could they? As we were not informed of this executive decision, in result I as the bride, was notified of every mishap that had occurred and had to worry of our time schedule. Because of this, I felt that I missed out of opportunities for photo ops and truly didn’t get the wedding I imagined. The entire intent of my mother insisting on hiring a wedding planner, was to have the opportunity to remember every moment of her only daughter’s wedding…sadly, she did not get that experience.

    BRIDES BEWARE SHE IS FULL OF PROMISES AND WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A STRESSFUL LIVING HELL.
    AFTER HEARING HER PITCH I MADE A DEPOSIT BIG MISTAKE. SHE WILL TRY AND FORCE YOU TO WORK WITH HER PREFERED VENDORS! HER WEDDING MAFIA I DECLINED HER SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT OFFER WHAT WE WANTED. SHE HAD A CHILDISH TANTRUM I WAS FORCED TO FIND MY OWN CATERING. SUGGESTED A LOCAL HOTEL IT DID NOT WORK SO SHE TOLD ME TO FIND LODGING ON MY OWN. KEPT A JOURNAL WITH EMAILS AND TEXT LOTS OF PROOF. MONEY PAID TO MADELINE FOR VENDORS WENT MISSING FOR WEEKS AND ANOTHER PAYMENT FOR MONTHS. SHE FAILED TO CONFIRM RECIEPT OF FUNDS DID NOT DEPOSIT INTO THE VENDORS ACCOUNT UNTIL I DEMAND AN EXPLINATION. USED THE MONEY AND HAD TO REPLACE, DATE OF THE DEPOSIT IS 2 WEEKS AFTER I PAID. ON THE SAME DAY I DEMAND PROOF SHE BEGGED ME TO PAY HER MY BALANCE. SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD TO PAY RENT AND DID NOT HAVE ANY MONEY.
    I ARRIVED IN PR A WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING AND ONLY GOT A FEW TEXT ASKING ME WHAT VENDOR I OWED. DURING THE EVENT SHE WENT MISSING FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT HELPED HERSELF TO MY OPEN BAR, RUMMERLIER STATION AND CARICATURIST! FOUND HER IN A CORNER FLIRTING WITH A MALE VENDOR SMELLED OF ALCOHOL WITH BLOOD SHOT EYES. MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING ISNT THE ONLY ONE SHE HAS BOTCHED I HOPE OTHERS COME FORWARD!
    IF I HAD NOT TAKEN THE INITATIVE MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I ARRANGED PLANNED AND EXACUTED THIS WEDDING MYSELF. SHE WAS PAID FOR SUGGESTING SEVERAL VENDORS AND MAKING A FEW PHONE CALLS. SPEECHES WERE MISSED SHE FORGOT TO TELL THE MC AND THE LIST GOES ON! SO MUCH MORE TO SAY BUT NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO WRITE. I KNOW SHE WILL READ THIS AND TRY TO DEFEND AND DENY ALL! MADELINE VALENTINE IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO DENY ANYTHING I CHALLENGE YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG! ALMOST 2019 AND HAS NO WEB PAGE. GO GET A REFERSHER COURSE ON WEDDING 101
    BRIDES YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED IF YOU PAID HER A DEPOSIT TAKE A LOSS. RESEARCH DONT SETTLE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU SIGN YOUR CONTRACT...…
