    Amazing!

    Valarie was absolutely amazing!!!! So very sweet and flexible. She made sure our day was perfect. She was recommended by a friend who used her years ago and I am so glad we used her.

    Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Wedding Planner!

    I was so nervous about planning a destination wedding since I live across the country in VA. Valerie made the whole ceremony planning a breeze. She told me what she needed, I answered her questions, and everything came together perfectly. The rehearsal was conducted clearly and we all understood what we had to do which helped (some) with our nervousness. I am grateful to have had her help!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Nerves are to be expected on such a big day. It's not an easy thing to trust someone whom you've never met with the details of your wedding day! I'm glad you trusted me and that your wedding day was all that you wanted it to be and more! Thank you for the review!

    Dream come true

    Extremely satisfied with service. My wedding Day was made easy to know everything was taken care of by the wedding vendor. I came from Michigan to have the wedding in Texas. The entire experience was worth it. I’m thankful that we were in contact the entire time until the end of the wedding. I highly recommend this wedding planner.

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Michigan is a long way away and yet with the internet dream weddings can be planned and carried out. I'm glad that is what happened with yours. Thank you for the recommendation! You'll have to come back down out of that cold now for your anniversaries. I have one couple that renews their vows every year on their anniversary. That could be you! Thank you for the review.

    Stress free dream wedding come true!

    We live 8 hours away and the dream wedding our daughter and son in law had of being Married on the beach was able to come true thanks to Valarie, her expertise, and her team. As a mother of the bride, it took some faith to have every detail tended to and not be able to be there to do it myself. Valarie totally knocked it out of the park. Everyone on her team was Not just professional, but personal as well. The whole ceremony was well organized and timely; flowers were gorgeous;cake was delicious as well as beautiful; photographer was efficient and took beautiful pictures; the DJ was attentive to our requests and fun! We chose South Padre Brewery for their reception up on the deck and they were also fantastic and personal. Our family of about 50 made some memories and had an awesome family vacation as we celebrated the marriage of our children. Definitely recommend Valarie and her expertise 💞

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Staci,
    Thank you so much for the review. Reviews are so helpful to families like yours who are nervous about planning a destination wedding. It's hard to know who to trust and you have to wonder if they do a good job. Your review will help others know that they can trust not only me but others in whom I hire for various parts of the ceremony. Your daughter was beautiful and your new son in law so handsome. Congratulations! I am glad you were all very pleased.

    June Wedding

    Valarie did a wonderful job coordinating our wedding ceremony. She and Bill were so accommodating when coastal rains threatened to cancel our sunrise wedding on the beach in SPI. We all watched the weather forecast and when it cleared, we proceeded from our condo to the beach and the ceremony began. It drizzled a fine mist for about the first half hour, but she took a lot of pictures before the ceremony and we have many terrific memories shared that will last a lifetime. I am so glad we chose Valarie! We selected non-professional portraits and were blown away with the quantity, quality and variety of the selection. Thanks, Valarie & Bill, for making our wedding extra special! Love, The Ritchie Family

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Somehow the memories of the drizzly rain become a treasured memory. I'm so glad I could capture those smiles with my camera. I enjoy planning weddings, and I also enjoy taking pictures. I have the greatest job with the greatest families like yours. Thank you for the review.

    Valerie is so amazing she’s always so accommodating to your liking and your style... she has everything you need to make this the most stress free event and let’s you just enjoy your day!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Music to my ears. I want you to enjoy yourself while you are down here for your wedding but also for some fun in the sun. I'm glad to hear that you were able to have fun and have your perfect wedding all while not being totally stressed out. Thank you for the kind words and for the review.

    Sunrise wedding

    Our wedding was exactly what we wanted. They did an amazing job of planning our perfect sunrise beach wedding. Valerie planned exactly what we wanted and Bill made our event so fun and comfortable. We would highly recommend Valerie and Bill.

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Bill and I do make an awesome team. I am great with the planning and he is great at connecting with the couples while performing the ceremonies. I often hear people use the same words as you as they describe Bill...fun...comfortable. I'm glad we were able to carry out your ideas and you were able to have your perfect sunrise wedding! Thank you for the review.

    Amazing planner!

    If you wanna get married on the beach Valarie is the go to lady! She met all of my expectations and even carried my son who refused to walk down the aisle! We are forever grateful for her and Bill! Thank you!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Aww! Thank you for your kind words! Bill and I love getting to be a part of one of the most important day in the lives of the couples we work with. If carrying a toddler is what it takes to make your day less stressful that is what we will do! lol. Thank you for the review! Have a great Christmas!

    Wonderful wedding planner

    Valarie did such a wonderful job planning our wedding. We are from Illinois and knew we wanted to be married in SPI. I gave her the colors I wanted, a few pics from the internet and she worked her magic! The day of the wedding, it was POURING. Things were flooding, it was horrible. Being a nervous bride, I was messaging her all morning. She very promptly replied and she had a back up plan for us. Luckily, everything worked out as planned and we had the outdoor wedding we dreamed of. We couldn’t have done it without her!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Pouring rain on your outdoor wedding day is never what you want but I am glad I was here with ideas and plans to help relieve some of the stress off of you. I'm glad your memories of that day are ones that you will cherish forever. I do feel sorry for those who don't have someone from the area they can talk to and who can help with a plan B. Thank you Trisha for the review. Hope you are doing well!

    After changing the location of our 5-15-15 wedding several times I only ended up having two months to plan our wedding. I wanted to have my dream beach wedding but I felt that it would be impossible because we only had two months. I did my research on Wedding Wire and spoke to several wedding planners and let me say it was the worst experience ever! I spoke to four before finding Valerie. The first one you had to book a year in advance, the second one never returned my calls after leaving four voice mails, third wedding planer was supposed to call me back with a price but never did, the last one I spoke to was very rude and unhelpful with the questions I had. Luckily I found Valerie and everything changed she answered all my question over and over again :), she was very sweet, took my calls and texts at all times of the day (AM and PM). She did everything I asked from her, she answered all my concerns and kept sending me pictures of things that I asked for. I kept changing my mind up to the day of my wedding and she allowed me to do last minutes changes that saved us money (which all the wedding planners I spoke to wouldn’t let you change anything 6 weeks before the wedding) which is unheard of. Also another thing I loved about Valerie is that she let me have my own photographer ( last minute) which again all the other wedding planners wouldn’t allow that because they would be losing money. Valerie’s husband did our vows and he was AMAZING it felt like he knew us from our childhood. I have been to several wedding and all the pastors/judges are boring and to the point but not him he took his time and told us some great words of wisdom. She is an amazing wedding planner, you will not stress one single bit because she has everything ready for you, she even had four back up plans due to the 80% chance of rain (once again if you get a different wedding planner you will have to do your own arrangements if it were to rain on the day of your wedding). Thanks for the book!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    What a beautiful review. I had no idea you had such a terrible time finding a wedding planner. I am thrilled that you found me. It was my pleasure to work with you. I love doing the weddings and helping the brides with their wedding day. You were a wonderful bride to work with. (changes and all)

    My husband and I renewed our wedding vows for our 10th anniversary on beautiful South Padre Island with our 2 sons by our side. Valerie's unique eye & natural ability to "know" exactly when, where & how to capture moments made it all the more special. We had a sunrise ceremony, 2 VERY tired children, I did my own hair & makeup and we stood by the ocean in 98° & 100% humidity...our pictures show nothing but the joy & love we were all feeling. She's a gem!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Sunrise weddings are gorgeous. It takes a special family to pull it off but you did it! Congratulations to a very special family. Thank you for choosing me.

    Valerie was an expert wedding planner. She honored our requests and also guided us in the best options that were available. We had a beautiful wedding thanks to Valerie and her hard work. We would recommend Valerie to anyone that wants a professional, beautiful, memorable and stress free wedding!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    I will never forget you and Wayne. You two are so sweet, loving, generous, caring and all around wonderful people who are deeply in love. I love the way he secretly dug a hole so that when you went to kiss, you would be the same height. How sweet!

    Absolutely the best choice I have ever made!!! I traveled far and had over 100 guests travel. She helped with everything I requested. I met with several other planners on the island and was told a lot of the things I wanted couldn't be done. She never told me no and helped me with all of my wishes. She even helped me stay within my tight budget!!!! The weather was up/down throughout the days leading to the wedding. She moved location due to weather so I still had a beach wedding!!! I can go I and on but she is the BEST and makes the process easy!!!!

    Beautiful on the inside and out! I'm so glad you choose ME!

    Valerie was professional, very detail orientated & eager to exceed our hopes of a beautiful ceremony! She handled everything with such care that it truly set our minds at ease of planning an out of town wedding ceremony. We would recommend her services to anyone marrying in the South Padre area!!!

    South Padre Beach Ceremony's reply:

    Lisa,

    Thank you for your kind words. It's easy to plan a wedding for such sweet people!
