Paola R. Sent on 11/14/2021Profesionalismo/ Professionalism
If i could describe Novella with one word it would be Professionals. The connection and relationship they build with their brides goes beyond anything you can imagine. They take the time and dedication to understand your vision, design it and bring it to life. They are extremely honest when it come to budget. But at the end is your decision as a couple with what you want to go with. The three ladies are an incredible team, they are the perfect combination to the excellent service they provide. If close to your wedding date you feel stressed or nervous, dont be, they will solve it “TRUST ME”.
I left every single detail of my wedding on their hands and i can say im extremely thankful for their service.NOVELLA Wedding Planner & Designer's reply:

Exceptional !!!
First of all I would like to say I loved Novella team!!! From beginning to end they helped my dream wedding come true. My wedding was over the top beautiful and I would do all over again in a heart beat. Carlota is the owner she is very knowledgeable, passionate and a blessing, she looks out for you and wants the best for you and has your best interest at heart always. For that I appreciated her so much through all the stress that comes with wedding planning. She was always their to answer my questions. Secondly her team assistant Mariana wow what a sweet, funny and easy going person she was, she helped coordinate my wedding food menu, drinks, some decor,music etc, she was like the missing puzzle to ease my nerves when I felt overwhelmed with the planning process she was truly a life savor! Thirdly the most amazing and talented Liza, decor manager wow she brings your vision to life to the max just beyond beautiful a true work of art! Next, the most sweetest and I mean the most patient wedding coordinator I’ve ever meet in the world named Naomi, not only she helped me from the start when I was getting ready at my bridal suite, she carried my dress, viel, helped me change into my second dress we laughed because she even dried my sweat behind my hair ( we all know DR heat is no joke) from all the dancing lol she was just all around amazing. Lauren amazing as well she helped the groomsmen keep in order she also helped me at the reception a true sweetheart and patient! And lastly Gabriela who made sure of the finishing touches of my wedding decor was perfect thanks so much ❤️. I wish honestly I can relive my wedding again, in 5 years I will renew my vows and I plan on calling them again. I wanted to let you all know from the Novella team how much I appreciated your dedication, your passion and incredible talent you have for all you do, my wedding would have not been so special and spectacular like it was if it wasn’t for you guys. Im so glad and happy I found them. I highly recommend them and you will not be disappointed! With much much love thank you and see you soon!! Love Ingrid and Daniel ❤️ -

Novella planned and executed the wedding of my dreams!
Thanks to Novella, my new husband and I got to celebrate the wedding of our dreams this past weekend! Novella’s team is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, organized, thorough and so, so creative. They helped take my ideas and turn them into an amazing event and provided advice and tips that only experts like them to would be able to. Their guidance and support during the planning process was indispensable- I felt so supported from the day we booked them to the very end of the wedding day. I highly recommend their services!NOVELLA Wedding Planner & Designer's reply:
Thank you Alejandra for the positive comments. Regardless of the complexity of your event, your calm and easy-going approach towards it made the event easier to deal with. Thank you for trusting our ideas consistently since the beginning. We send you the best of wishes in your marriage! -

Samantha Sent on 04/16/2022We love you, Novella!
My husband and I got married on 2/26/2022 at Pearl Beach Club. I first reached out to Novella in December 2021 and knew instantly that Carlota was a true professional and someone I had to work with. Living in the US, I was nervous to plan a wedding in the DR as a Type A planner myself! The process is certainly different in DR (much more relaxed and less time needed to plan larger events) but TRUST THE PROCESS! Everything with Carlota and Liza was more than I could ever have imagined. I was able to meet Carlota at our decor trial and food tasting and I immediately felt as ease and calm just being in her presence. She is the best in the business and was very clearly respected by all of our vendors from photo, video, hair, make up, lighting, music, etc. She has your BACK! - She constantly was negotiating for us and suggesting the very best options for our day. It made all the difference being able to connect with her before our day. The day of our wedding she was constantly by my side with her team making sure everything went to plan. Liza for DECOR was AMAZING!! I can not say enough about her. What she brings to life on your wedding day is something I have NEVER seen before - it is absolutely STUNNING and you will be so PROUD and HAPPY!!
Our wedding was an absolute blast and party. We brought 125 people from the US to celebrate with us. People could not stop telling us how it was the best wedding they ever attended from start to finish and just how elegant and stunning everything was. The dance floor was electric and Novella has everything to do with keeping the day flowing as perfectly as you envision it.
I am so sad the planning is over as Carlota is such a joy and gave Patrick and I such a celebration that we and our guest could never forget. Thank you to the entire Novella team. I know it is not an easy job, but your hard work certainly does not go unnoticed by your clients. WE LOVE YOU!NOVELLA Wedding Planner & Designer's reply:
Thank you Sam for your encouraging words! We love you too and thank you for following our recommendations and doing your best to be flexible . I know you are a perfectionists as we are and it was hard for you to understand the vendors local timing , Also pandemia moments were tough and you managed to make a balance . Thank you for being so sweet with all of us, it was imposible to adore you ! -

Better than I could have ever imagined!
I was never the type to dream about my wedding day. From the beginning I truly entrusted the whole process to them from start to finish. They gave me the options and I chose which one I thought suited us best. It really could not have gone more smooth. They helped me create a vision and make it reality. Looking back there is nothing I would have done different the day was just perfect. I had the best time and will cherish that memory as one of the best days of my life forever!NOVELLA Wedding Planner & Designer's reply:
Thank you Estefania for trusting us and let everything flow. We loved watching you having fun and enjoying every minute. Lovely and fun wedding. -

The Novella team is exceptional and the best investment one can make planning a wedding in the Dominican Republic. Carlota and Liza are both extraordinary wedding planners with great interpersonal skills and impeccable taste. We started working with them about a year before our daughter’s wedding which took place in Casa de Campo in November 2021. The bride and our family lives in the U.S. and the groom lived in Europe where his family resides. Although we were initially a bit nervous about planning a wedding in a third country, Novella made the wedding planning seamless. Carlota has strong communication skills (her English is very good). She is confident and connects well. Her experience is priceless. Carlota worked with our vision and wishes but provided invaluable suggestions. She would let us know when she thought something would not work or if there was a better option. We greatly appreciate her patience and guidance. It was especially challenging to plan a wedding during a pandemic. I don’t know how we would have achieved such an incredible wedding without Carlota. She remained on top of safety guidelines but maintained a very positive attitude that we could still achieve the wedding of our dreams.
Carlota did a great job suggesting catering options and vendors for music and entertainment. I strongly suggest that if possible you hire Novella before booking a venue or vendors. In our case, we had already signed a catering contract but Carlota still took on the challenge and managed to negotiate lower prices. Fortunately, we booked our musicians, entertainers and most other venues after booking Novella and had a great experience.
Liza, the decor designer is out of this world. She is extraordinarily creative and has exquisite taste. Liza had my daughter (the bride) share the style she had in mind then took it to a whole new level. We actually could not make it to the decor unveiling where Liza would provide a decor sample table. Liza adapted and provided her decor presentation via zoom. I was blown away with all the unique table arrangements, cake/ dessert room, fabulous bar and many other details she tied together and eventually magically brought to life on the wedding day!
I was impressed by how passionately the Novella team worked especially during the last two weeks leading to the wedding. Carlota has a very admirable work ethic and is extremely committed to making sure everything is perfect. If anything went wrong on the wedding day, I still do not know about it! Carlota and her team were present throughout every minute of the wedding day orchestrating every detail. I cannot thank Novella enough for their extraordinary effort which resulted in a spectacular and incredibly fun wedding definitely worth traveling to!NOVELLA Wedding Planner & Designer's reply:
Oh wao Mrs Dumé!! Thanks so much for your words and “piropos” to our team . We enjoyed en very minute of your wedding planning as you as so sweet and trustful . It was our pleasure to work with your great family . You made us feel part of your family. -

Wedding of my dreams
Thank you so much for putting together our dream day, it was literally perfect and we could not have wished for anything different.
Liza - Thank you for your vision, the look and decor far exceeded anything we could have ever imagined. We had so many guests comment on how impressed they were with the tablescape, bar, and flooring.
Mariana - Thank you for attention to detail and organization during the three days of the events. You helped keep everything on a tight schedule and it was evident in how seamlessly everything flowed.
Carlota - The professionalism you showed on the day of the wedding was incredible. You put me at such ease and made sure I didnt get nervous about anything. Your positioning of us and our family during the photo poses showed just how much experience you have at this, perhaps even more than the photographer and videographer themselves - you knew exactly which moments to capture.
In summary, our wedding was perfect and everything we could have wished for - thanks to you ladies.NOVELLA Wedding Planner & Designer's reply:
Thanks Stephanie and Richard for letting us be part of your special day ! You are great people and very easy to work with -

Vera L. Sent on 04/05/2021La mejor elección!
No puedo terminar de agradecerle a Novella por la entrega y dedicación para nuestro día más especial. Luego de muchos cambios por la pandemia, nuestra boda terminó haciéndose en tres semanas, con una reducción de invitados (incluyendo dos tandas diferentes) y, realmente, no pudo ser más perfecta. Carlota y Mariana fueron las mejores acompañantes en este proceso, y puedo decir con firmeza que no hubo absolutamente nada que quedara mal. Tanto mi esposo, como toda mi familia, y yo quedamos gratamente sorprendidos de cómo el día fluyó, apegándonos al horario y cumpliendo con cada uno de nuestros deseos en ese hermoso día. Todas las reuniones previas valieron la pena, Novella supo exactamente lo que queríamos para este día especial y cuidaron hasta el más mínimo detalle, conociendo a perfección nuestros gustos y deseos.
Todos los invitados nos han felicitado por lo hermosa y feliz que fue nuestro día especial, que nos representó exactamente como somos: felices, alegres, enamorados y MUY perfeccionistas.
Fueron todo lo que pedimos y mucho más para nuestro día especial!! Gracias, gracias, gracias!!!

Ante todo agradecer a Dios habernos puesto en el camino el equipo de Novella, pues nos hicieron sentir en todo momento como si estuviéramos planificando el evento más importante de nuestras vidas en familia, pero con el profesionalismo que caracteriza estas chicas tan capaces e inteligentes! Novella no es una compañía de eventos cualquiera estas mujeres no tienen como prioridad vender un evento más ellas hacen que tú sueño se convierta en realidad y lo viven contigo, eso es lo mágico de ellas!
Nosotros jamás vamos a olvidar el amor y empeño que les pusieron a nuestras 3 actividades ( rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch) tuvimos un fin de semana épico hasta el staff del hotel nos felicitó por el desempeño de nuestro team! Como la novia les puedo decir que jamás me dejaron sentir estrés, nervios ni nada que se le parezca, fue todo lo contrario Gracias a ellas me pude disfrutar todo el proceso de mi gran día en perfecta paz porque sabía que después de Dios ellas tenían el control! Cuidan tu dinero y te cuidan a ti! Son mujeres muy aterrizadas y no te permiten gastar dinero en cosas innecesarias un día antes de mi boda me enfermé de gripa y me cuidaron tanto que sentía que tenía una enfermera conmigo! Nunca tendremos palabras suficientes para agradecerles tanta entrega y empeño en cada uno de nuestros eventos! A quienes me lean pueden estar seguros de que si ponen sus actividades en manos de estas mujeres jamás van arrepentirse y estarán tan agradecidas como lo estoy yo!
Carlotta, Liza, Jessica y el resto del clan Novella Dios me las bendiga y les conceda larga vida para que continúen haciendo sueños realidad ❤️ -

Ame cada detalle, desde el servicio de wedding planner hasta el servicio de decoración. Liza, carlota, daniela, laura y todas las chicas son la mejor definición de que un buen trabajo en equipo da resultados sorprendentes. Nuestra boda fue justo como lo queria pero superando mis sueños. Han pasados 3 meses y aun recibo mensajes felicitandome por tan hermosa ceremonia y recepción. Desde los suplidores, el montaje, la comida Novella es 10/10. Cuando cumpla 10 años Dios mediante de casada deseo que ellos me hagan nuevamente la celebración ☺️NOVELLA Wedding Planner & Designer's reply:
