We live in New York and were married in Miami, so much of our wedding planning with Carmen was done via phone and email. Carmen was very responsive and helpful for the 9 months we spent planning.
In our very limited time in Miami to meet with vendors, she handled the logistics for our back to back vendor meetings efficiently and was very organized. She also recommended great vendors within our budget. We felt that in every situation she had our best interest and we truly trusted her judgement.
On the wedding day, she helped everyone stay on track, including all the vendors, and provided an epic timeline admired by all who recieved it! Her assistant was responsible for setting up our venue (along with our florist) of which she did a perfect and beautiful job!
We were lucky to have found Carmen! Her professionalism and experience in the wedding planning industry was evident. She also displayed passion for what she does, something we can't imagine you'd find in just any wedding planner.
Thank you Carmen for making our wedding planning and wedding day such a successful and memorable experience!

Carmen was recommended to us by a friend during a time when I was super stressed and very overwhelmed with vendor selections and planning our Miami destination wedding. During our initial phone meeting, I knew that she was the planner that we desperately needed. Her spirit and her experience spoke volumes to me about what my wedding experience would be like if we hired her. She suggested great vendors, chimed in on things we should consider when choosing a vendor, and made sure all bases were covered. The wedding weekend, Carmen was in her element making sure that everything and everyone was set and where they needed to be like a Logistical Queen. I was actually stress free and able to enjoy our wedding day. Looking back, if I could do it all over again, knowing what I know about the wedding planning process, I would still choose Carmen. She was very professional and very, very attentive, making sure that we weren't just agreeing to something that we weren't in love with. My advice to any couple planning a wedding is definitely hire a planner, and if you can, hire Carmen! She is awesome!

The Best Investment I Made!

I wanted to take the time to share my memorable experience working with Carmen Mesa as my Wedding/ Event Planner. I can relate to the feelings associated with planning a wedding while, trying to balance career, life - in conjunction with... "doing it all."

I realized I needed to seek the guidance and expertise of a professional and after doing some research, I found Carmen. I was impressed with her years of experience in the industry, credentials as a Master Planner finally, after reading multiple reviews regarding her previous clients, I knew I had to contact her.

From my initial phone conversation with Carmen I was relieved and confident I made the right decision. I wasnt sure if my budget would allow for an Wedding Planner but she was reasonable and fair. I partned with a warm, personal, pleasant and seasoned professional who not only shared her creativity but also listened to my ideas, offered fresh alternatives and resolved any concerns.

Carmen was thorough and organized from beginning to end. She evaluated and maintained every vendor contract via email, liaison and coordinated with vendors. Needless to say, I was fortunate and extremely satisified with her referrals for Floral, Videography and Speciality Musical Services.

My wedding day was seamless. Carmen and her team nailed it! I know, its tempting to look for ways to make cut backs while planning your special day however you can't put a price tag on a peace of mind. By utilitizing Carmen's services, I was able to focus on creating new memories with my new husband, family and friends.
