The best of the best 🤍
My husband and I got married just a few weeks ago near Sitges and we had the best weekend of our lives thanks to Valerie. We always knew that we wanted to get married abroad and we managed to book a beautiful venue just a few weeks after we got engaged. At the time, we naively thought we wouldn't need a wedding planner but on the recommendation of the owner of our venue we set up a meeting with her favourite planner, Valerie. After one phone call, we knew we had to book Valerie to plan our wedding.
Upon speaking with her, we realised there was so much more to take into account than we had initially thought and we knew it would be important to have someone with plenty of expertise and experience to guide us through the process. It was also lovely hearing a fellow Irish accent on the call and having someone who would fully understand the needs of our wedding guests :)
From start to finish, Valerie was relaxed, helpful, patient and organised. She thought of so many little things that never would have occurred to us and made so many useful suggestions that both we and ultimately our guests really appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed every step of planning our wedding because Valerie took all of the stress of it away from us.
I never would have expected to feel so relaxed on my wedding day and that was all down to Valerie. We knew we were in such safe hands and that she would take care of any issues. She made so many good calls on the day (in the face of a thunderstorm!) and every decision she made just added to the day. All of our guests loved her and commented on how smoothly everything was organised and how relaxed her and the lovely Sachi were throughout it all.
We will never be able to thank you enough for all you did for us, Valerie. You and Sitges will always have such a special place in our hearts.
Le grá,

A perfect day
Val really took the time to understand each of us and our priorities and worked with us to pull together vendors that matched exactly what we were looking for, going the extra mile with the small touches that made things unique to us.
Her and Sachi were on hand to make sure everything ran like clockwork. All our guests loved her and everything went smoothly.Val really took the time to understand each of us and our priorities and worked with us to pull together vendors that matched exactly what we were looking for, going the extra mile with the small touches that made things unique to us.

Nothing short of perfection!
There are simply no words to convey how deeply grateful we are to Val and her extraordinary team at WeddingsviaVal, she is nothing short of incredible. When the idea of planning our wedding in Sitges first crossed our minds, the enormity of organising such a momentous event in an unfamiliar place felt overwhelming. But from the moment we met Val, all those worries melted away, replaced by excitement and anticipation. Val has this remarkable gift of infusing every interaction with genuine warmth, sincerity, and care. Right from our very first conversation, she was amazing and so friendly. It wasn't just about being clients to her; it felt like embarking on an extraordinary journey with a cherished friend by our side.
Planning our wedding with Val and her team was an absolute blast. Her dedication to perfection, eye for detail that left no stone unturned, and all her amazing ideas, turned our dreams into a beautiful reality. Val guided us every step of the way, sharing her knowledge, experience, and wisdom along with her creativity that made the entire process not just amazing but so easy and so much fun.
When our wedding day finally arrived, Val's was just so amazing, on such a crazy day she was such a rock we didn’t have to worry about anything. Amidst all the emotions and excitement, she kept everything running so smoothly, it was perfect and exceeded our wildest expectations. From the floral arrangements, food, music, layout, timing, every element of each stage of our wedding day bore her touch of elegance and perfection.
But Val didn't stop there. Throughout the entire week of festivities, she ensured that every detail was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed for us, allowing us to savour every moment without a single worry or ounce of stress. It truly was an experience beyond words, and none of it would have happened without Val.
Our wedding week in Sitges wasn't just a celebration; it was a beautiful and amazing experience filled with love, friendship, and unforgettable memories. It's something that we will carry in our hearts forever, and for that, we owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to Val.
Val, you're not just a wedding planner – you're truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your talents, your passion, and your friendship with us. Our journey with you was nothing short of magical and you made it so effortless and enjoyable, our wedding was more than we ever could have dreamed of, We can’t thank you enough! If we had the chance, we would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
With love and gratitude,
Paul and Brian

Perfect choice for our destination Indian wedding!
If you and your partner were like us - scouring the internet for the perfect wedding planner - then you can stop your search right here because Weddings Via Val is exactly what you need!
Planning a wedding, no matter the size, is a daunting task. When we finally decided we wanted an intimate, bespoke Indian wedding in Sitges, the first question we asked ourselves was “How are we going to pull this off?” A brief internet search revealed no shortage of wedding planners in Sitges/Barcelona! After multiple interviews, our decision was made simple when we spoke with Val. Val was eager to take on the challenge of planning our multi-day Indian wedding, which comes with many cultural nuances and details. She was very willing to work with all of our needs, both in terms of budget and vision for the events. Not to mention, she is a HUGE fan of pugs (dog-mom to the adorable Carlino) and recognized our own pug sleeping in the background of our first meeting!
In the months leading up to the wedding, Val and Sachi were very accessible via Whatsapp, email and video chats despite our time difference. We always looked forward to our chats with them! One aspect of working with Val we loved the most was that she made the decision-making process stress-free and was always asking us questions that truly made us feel comfortable in her hands. Whether it was recommending entertainment for cocktail hour or coordinating transportation for our guests, Val was always thinking ten steps ahead. There was never a doubt she was diligently working to make our wedding as seamless as possible. It was during these months we realized that we could not plan this wedding on our own as there are so many minute logistics that we weren’t thinking of - and Val was.
Val’s familiarity with Sitges is one of many reasons why choosing her is a no-brainer. Her personal and professional connections helped us in selecting some very special vendors that were genuinely enthusiastic about our wedding. Sachi was able to introduce us to an incredible mixologist, whose creativity and passion became the life of our party. Other vendors, such as photography (Andreu), lighting (Suit & Music) and decor (Paradiso Barcelona) came personally recommended by Val. Every single vendor was stellar. Val worked effortlessly to execute our desire to have authentic Indian food at the wedding. This involved working with a restaurant in Barcelona (Out of India, who were out of this world!) while also hiring waitstaff (Esteban and team) for the event. There were many pieces to juggle, but Val and her team were brilliant.
During the wedding events, Val and her team were professional, timely, and did everything in their power to ensure that we had nothing to stress about. Even the most well-planned wedding will have moments of turbulence - when they came up, Val went out of her way to right the ship. Our guests had nothing but praise for her, Sachi, and the vendors that were recommended. We learned from other friends and family that it can sometimes be hard to enjoy and be present at your own wedding. However, we can say with complete confidence that we had a blast at our own wedding because of the incredible work from Val and her team. It was an unforgettable experience and we are so thankful to have found new friends in Val and Sachi to help us along the way.If you and your partner were like us - scouring the internet for the perfect wedding planner - then you can stop your search right here because Weddings Via Val is exactly what you need!

Destination Wedding in Spain
Where do I even begin!? We just had our wedding a week ago, and I am still on cloud 9! We started planning our wedding 2 years ago, and Val has been with us every step of the way. Planning a destination wedding is not for the faint of heart (we are from the United States), but having Val helped ease so much stress and anxiety. She helped us with logistics, regarding our guests stay and transportation to/from our wedding venue, she helped me coordinate our welcome dinner at a beautiful beachside restaurant, and she was a rock star on our wedding day (with the help of her assistant, Sachi). Val was extremely accomodating with us for meetings and phone calls, especially considering the time difference. Val was vital to the success of our wedding day! Thank you Val and Sachi for helping to make our day PERFECT!Where do I even begin!? We just had our wedding a week ago, and I am still on cloud 9!

Perfect from start to finish
We found Valerie through a recommendation from a friend. We had flown out to Sitges on a whim and she met with us at a venue we had seen on her page at 12 hours notice!
As soon as we met we knew we wanted her to plan our day. So friendly whilst being professional throughout. Nothing was ever too much. Valerie went out of her way to make our wedding perfect, even visiting venues for our day two without us and trying their food etc. she only had 5 months to plan a 3 day wedding for us which is a big task!
I can’t thank you enough Valerie, Lisa add all your team!

Super Val!
Ahh where to start with Val’s support ..! Over the 18 months that we were planning our wedding Val meticulously thought of everything, pulled everything together, gave us honest & experienced advice on how things would look and work in practice, put us at ease, and made the whole journey so enjoyable. She has an eye to make weddings truly beautiful and really took the time to understand and draw our our vision. All the suppliers and venues she works with are exceptional and creative. Her attention to detail and then coordination on the day shows how hard working she is. I really don’t think we could have found somebody who would have cared as much!! And, she really became a friend to us! Thank you Val!!!Ahh where to start with Val’s support ..!

Can't say enough about Val!
As a COVID wedding we ended up planning with Val for a multitude of rescheduled dates over the span of 4 years. She was amazing and by the end we considered her a friend. She doesn't let anything fall through the cracks and cares about your day as much as you do. 10/10 would recommend. We could NOT have done it without her. Wouldn't have wanted to either.As a COVID wedding we ended up planning with Val for a multitude of rescheduled dates over the span of 4 years.

Weddings Via Val
Living in Ireland and planning a destination wedding in Spain - Impossible. Yes, impossible without having Val and her team. Never could have imagined how stress free (and how much fun) it could be planning our wedding in Sitges earlier this year. Val organised wine tasting, food tasting, venue viewing, budget planning, guest accommodation recommendations, guest transportation, flowers, hairdressers………… pretty much everything we could ever think of and more right down to late night toasties to soak up the alcohol. We had the best possible wedding experience - not only is it a day that we will never forget but we had so much fun we’d love to do it all over again. Thanks Val for making it the most relaxing and most memorable day of our lives.Living in Ireland and planning a destination wedding in Spain - Impossible.

The amazing Val!
Words cannot do justice for the most perfect wedding Val created for us.
She constantly went above and beyond, was extremely attentive, even helping us find creative ways of encorporating our little quirks (pugs) into the finer details.
Not only is she extremely professional but she has the most amazing personality that allowed us to instantly gel. We raved about her so much that by the time the wedding came everyone talked about 'our val' as though she was part of the family. We have the most beautiful video of my dad hugging her mid speech which just speaks volumes to the amazing woman she is. We felt straight away she really got our personalities which she was able to reflect in the vendors she introduced us to.
Val has a wealth of knowledge and has evidently invested so much in her role that she has developed a repertoire of amazing vendors, caterers, venues, musicians etc. This meant there was always an option that best suited our style.
We trusted Val so much that we happily booked our destination wedding before physically visiting the venue ourselves because her advice always matched our vision. COVID restrictions impacted our ability to fly over and when we managed to get the last minute clearence to travel Val pulled out all stops ensuring we could visit the venue, meet the florists, photographer , have the most breathtaking tasting and see the church all within a few days.
Leading up to the wedding everyone kept asking if we were nervous or stressed and everytime we replied 'no because we have Val' she took away all stress and we trusted she was always in control meaning we didn't have to worry about a thing! As seome who typically controls and plans everything I can happily say I was surprised to find on our wedding day I was an extremely relaxed bride, knowing that every part was perfect thanks to val!Words cannot do justice for the most perfect wedding Val created for us.

Outstanding
Where to even begin. Reliable, supportive, fun, professional… doesn’t even do Val justice. She is utterly OUTSTANDING. There was no point in our entire wedding planning that we ever doubted her capabilities and abilities to get everything we wanted done. We would do it all again if we could and wouldn’t change a thing. We mean what we said, we have a friend for life in Val. We will no doubt see her when we return to Sitges. The one thing i’d say to anyone trying to find a wedding planner is, just don’t even think twice. You’ll be making a mistake in not working with Val!Where to even begin.

Amazing from start to finish!
We can't thank Val enough for all she did for our wedding. We're both pretty busy people with fairly intense jobs (hence how later our review is!) Val literally took care of anything and everything. She had great advice but also listened to our likes and dislikes - really tailored to our sometimes fairly particular(!) wants. Having her there on the day made everything go so smoothly - we wish we had her at the villa all week! Was great fun to work with and her experience really shone through. We can't recommend her more highly!!We can't thank Val enough for all she did for our wedding. We're both pretty busy people with fairly intense jobs (hence how later our review is!)

The Best of the Best!!!
It is hard to put into words how wonderful Valarie and the team at Weddings Via Val were. After a bumpy start in our wedding planning process (that spanned 3 countries and 2 previous wedding planners) we finally landed in the safest hands we could have ever hoped for. Val listened to our every want and desire (no matter how wild they were), including a fully vegan caterer, the request for a local brewery to supply the beer for the whole week, a wedding band that would not play ABBA and a venue that would hold all of our friends and family for some fun and frivolity. She absolutely nailed every single part of the brief and made us feel comfortable and at ease that everything was going to be perfect…in our way.
The level of detail, understanding and organization shown by Val, blew all of our expectations out of the water (which through no fault but her own - were already exceptionally highly). Val managed to perfectly understand us and our vision (which was not an easy one) from day one. She never said "No" so our slightly unorthodox requests she always said, "ok let me find out how we can make that happen". She also never tried to over-stylize us or direct us in a particular way that would better suit her aesthetic. She empowered us to be in the driving seat and she simply made everything magically happen.
Val was exceptionally communicative, and relayed pricing, vendor information and obstacles to us whenever they arose, and she quickly found solutions and work arounds. nothing was too much to ask and she was so proactive that we barely needed to.
Some honorable mentions go to Val for partaking in her first ever vegan tasting with us, trying craft beer at 10:30am in the morning (she's not a beer drinker), helping us relay our incredibly prescriptive playlist to the DJ and negotiating a full vegan menu at a seafood restaurant for our rehearsal dinner. Val was our guardian and partner through the entire process and her knowledge of and contacts within Barcelona are limitless, her solutions are creative, and her wit and warmness are infallible.
We genuinely had the best day of our lives ( I know all couples say that, but we actually did) and I cannot imagine anyone being able to match up to Val's professionalism, creativity, charm and can-do attitude. We got everything we asked for and she provided it within budget and without issue. Our wedding planning process, was stress free, easy and fun, what more could we ask for?
We couldn’t recommend Val enough, in fact we already have.
Val, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Your good friends,
Chris and Danelle

Truly amazing!
What can we say.. Val was just amazing from start to finish! She went above and beyond to make sure us, and our guests, not only had the perfect day, but the perfect WEEK! Her knowledge and advice was always on point but would always listen to what we we were looking for or wanted too. Our guests had the most amazing time and all specifically talked about how amazing Val was, so it isn't just us who thinks so! We cannot thank her enough for all she did for us to make our wedding so amazing! Thanks Val.. and we can't wait to get back over and take you to NEM!! Leela & TomWhat can we say..

Val was a delight to work with!
We loved working with Val and would recommend her to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the Sitges area. Val was a wealth of knowledge of all the vendors in the area and provided expert guidance throughout the planning process. She was also incredibly flexible - she was always willing to support our crazy ideas and deal with any last-minute changes to our plans. We had to change our wedding date 4 times due to COVID and Val tirelessly did all the heavy lifting to coordinate details and make sure everything was on track. On top of all that, Val is truly a delight on a personal level, she is calm, cool & collected, fun to have around, with fantastic attention to detail. Our wedding day was completely stress-free and I give all the credit to Val and her incredible team!We loved working with Val and would recommend her to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the Sitges area.

Magical Wedding Experience
Val and her team started by creating a seamless and stressless wedding experience, but went above that and created a magical in every way. She worked with us for over a year on weekly calls to plan and provide expertise. Everything from the venue, caterers, music and beyond was perfect. Our wedding had ZERO problems, and we just were blown away by Val and her team. I highly recommend Val and team to anyone getting married. Your wedding will be perfect.Val and her team started by creating a seamless and stressless wedding experience, but went above that and created a magical in every way.

Excellent through and through
Val was a dream to work with from the very moment we first spoke with her. From the very first meeting, she asked good questions, really internalized our vision, and connected us with vendors who brought our dream day to life. Her recommendations were all spot on and her ability to find accommodations for our specific requests made the day feel like ours. As a destination wedding, having her onboard truly made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. We highly recommend Val and her team!Val was a dream to work with from the very moment we first spoke with her.

Val - The Queen of Weddings!
Wow - what a lady Val is ! We actually miss catching up with her over zoom and having our life so organised 😂!
From our initial meeting with Val, we knew straight away that she was the planner for us.
She is so organised, experienced, friendly, and efficient.
Val helped us with the planning of our special day from abroad (initially all the way from Thailand!), and at every moment we were at ease as Val always knew what should be done, be doing, and be done next!
On our arrival to Spain, Val met with us personally to go through last steps, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day before and leading up to the wedding day - we were so relaxed, the groom and best men were in the pool still about an hour before the photographer was due to arrive!
It was from this moment, we knew working with Val was the one of the best decisions, and very much worth it! Val in planner mode is a force to be reckoned with! Everyone knows what they are doing, when and with who! The whole day was seamless and everything done right to the T. We were asked “did anything go wrong/not as expected?” By a few people and our answer was No! We know Val played a huge part in this.
Our guests commented how “on it” Val is with everything, whilst actioning one hand to their ear and one on their hip (on the radio), but also how she would blend into the background but then appear super quick when something was needed.
A huge thank you to Val for everything you did for us to make our special day what is was and allow us to have the amazing memories we have.
Thank you for your time, advice, honesty, jokes, organisation, efficiency, professionalism, flexibility and more! Please also pass on our thanks to the lovely Sachi who supported on the day. We would love to catch up for a coffee when we return to Sitges! XWow - what a lady Val is ! We actually miss catching up with her over zoom and having our life so organised 😂!

Breeshaw Wedding!
I cannot recommend Valerie highly enough. From the first time we met her to the wedding day we felt completely at ease. Her knowledge and passion was inspiring. At any point either of us felt stressed Valerie was there at a drop of a hat to reassure us. The whole wedding day went without a glitch and we did not have to worry about a single detail. The day was beyond our dreams and it couldn't of happened without Valerie and all of her amazing ideas and her complete calmness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.I cannot recommend Valerie highly enough. From the first time we met her to the wedding day we felt completely at ease.

Absolutely key to our perfect weekend
We chose Val pre-COVID and we're so grateful we did. From postponements to big changes, she handled everything gracefully. She knows Sitges in and out, and helped us with logistics well beyond just the wedding day. Val was always realistic and looking out for us. Her opinions were 100% correct on things ranging from entree selection to flowers and more.
We weren't always the clearest on what we wanted and she was so accommodating and helpful. Hopefully won't be planning any other weddings (lol) but if I did there's no one else I would work with. Happy to have met Val as a person and as a planner.
TLDR: Organized, helpful, responsive, fun, flexible and realistic; a fantastic wedding planner through and through.We chose Val pre-COVID and we're so grateful we did.

Simply amazing
After reading all the glowing reviews, we knew Valerie was going to be great, but she definitely surpassed our expectations. One of Valerie’s key skills is her ability to provide a tailored service to you. She doesn’t just go with a one size fits all, she meets you, she listens to you and she understands what you want. She’s incredibly adaptable in that respect. Another fantastic quality which she exhibited throughout our wedding was just how much she cared. Anyone that meets Valerie will know, she’s passionate about what she does, she genuinely wants this day to be the best day of your life. All of our guests commented on how great she was and how late she waited, just so all the guests could get a taxi. I recalled numerous times over the course of the wedding thinking to myself, I never would have thought of that. There’s a reason why Valerie has received the reviews that she has - she’s amazing at what she does and she’s genuinely a good person. Thanks again Valerie for helping us make memories to last a lifetime!After reading all the glowing reviews, we knew Valerie was going to be great, but she definitely surpassed our expectations.

Professional, personalised service that delivered the wedding of our dreams
Val worked with us for over 2 years - through Covid cancellations and amended plans - to create a wedding experience in Spain that we or our guests will never forget.
She spent time with us to understand the type of wedding we wanted - as a same sex couple who also wanted to incorporate some elements from part of our West African heritage. She guided us through the process, arranged all the suppliers and was completely hands on to deliver our 3-day mini wedding 'festival'.
Val and her team are the most creative, organised and professional planners you could ever hope to work with. They allowed us to really enjoy the experience, spend time with our guests and give us some great ideas to make the big day 'pop'.Val worked with us for over 2 years - through Covid cancellations and amended plans - to create a wedding experience in Spain that we or our guests will never forget.

We truly can’t thank Val enough! From our first interaction through email and Skype, we immediately knew we were in good hands. Her positive attitude, calmness, and patience are what kept us moving forward during COVID. Val truly keeps her services tailored to you and is super flexible. She helped us pick the best vendors who made our vision a reality! Everything was seamless. Not only is she a fantastic planner, she’s personable and takes care for your guests as well! We (and our guests) are still in awe of that whole day. Thank you, again, Val for making our dream wedding come true! We’re so lucky to have found you!We truly can’t thank Val enough!

Valerie is the best!
Valerie is an amazing resource - she organized our wedding in Barcelona and every detail was executed perfectly. The caterer, photographer, DJ, guitarist and venue were the best of the best - and way better value and quality than we would have found in the US. It was an evening of our dreams. Our friends, who flew in from 4 continents are still speaking about it.

The people that made my life ALOT easier
Valerie and Africa were amazing, friendly, patient, trustworthy, meticulous, confident, competent, efficient and no question would go unanswered. Planning a wedding in a different country seemed easy as they did all the hard work, finding vendors, negotiating with them and not afraid to give you their opinion. They are worth their weight in gold and take everything in their stride. I come from an event planning background so I can be hard to please but I knew from the first time I spoke to Valerie, we were in the right hands. The day went amazing, I constantly looked around looking for the finer details and they were there..plus more that I didn't even think of. Africa saw my vision, knew exactly what I wanted and created it. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. These girls would make you rethink your profession and go into wedding planning :) Thanks a million girls, you're brilliantValerie and Africa were amazing, friendly, patient, trustworthy, meticulous, confident, competent, efficient and no question would go unanswered.
