I was absolutely DREADING the thought of having to put together a wedding. I was someone who did not go on Pinterest or have any idea what the first step in planning a wedding was. I knew that if I did this on my own, the wedding and reception would fall very short of being a perfect day. I needed a wedding planner. I did a lot of research online and reached out to a plethora event planners. Pilar got back to me almost IMMEDIATELY and I instantly felt at ease speaking with her. Because of her responsiveness, there was no other option in my mind…Pilar was going to help me with my wedding.
Pilar is more than just a planner; she is your best friend. Pilar is there for you every step of the way and provides creative ideas for you and your guests while remaining within your budget. She is honest in everything that she does and always has her client at the front of her mind. The attention she provides you is second to none and she makes you feel as though your event is the only event she is planning…she gives you a sense of importance! Pilar truly takes the time to know and understand her clients so that she can showcase their personalities in the best way possible. I am not decisive, creative, or someone that knows what they want…but holy cow…Pilar was able to figure out exactly what I wanted. She is the best!!!

Pilar was able to negotiate pricing with our vendors and saved us a lot of money. It was great having someone who knows the industry so well and can make sure vendors are not overcharging you (as they are known to do in this industry).

Pilar’s expertise is priceless and I would recommend her one thousand times over! She is the absolute best!!!!!

Pilar was a pleasure to work with and helped make our day so smooth. You can trust her to get the job done! She is extremely organized, responsive, and professional. From our initial phone call I could tell she was very detail oriented and hard working. We were considering hiring her for full planning services and I appreciated her honesty in telling us since we'd already booked a couple vendors we'd be better off with a day of package. She was very helpful for random questions that came up throughout the process and met with us a couple weeks before the wedding to ensure a smooth transition. Her pricing was extremely reasonable, especially for the Miami area. I was truly able to sit back and enjoy the day thanks to Pilar. Can't recommend her enough!

To say we are very pleased we hired Pilar Pava Events is an understatement. Working with Pilar for your wedding or event is a no-brainer. Pilar made our lives so much easier. We hired Pilar for the full-service package and truly believe it was a great value.

She is extremely detail-oriented, very organized, and always responsive. We had an Indian wedding and an American wedding. The weekend included multiple days and many events. Pilar handled so much of the planning for us. There are things that Pilar will think about, and you don’t even know you need to consider.

Pilar found awesome vendors for us, handled layouts, timelines, and SO much more. We could tell she truly cared about our event. All our events were planned to perfection and went off without a hitch. In addition, every event was beautiful.

Many of our guests even commented that everything went so smoothly. That would not have happened without Pilar. She is a true professional and really excels when it comes to planning. She and her team worked so hard “day-of” that we were able to be totally stress-free, and that is such a great feeling.

We are so grateful to Pilar for everything she did. She’s wonderful at her job but also such a great person!

Let this be the easiest wedding planning decision you make and work with Pilar Pava! What an incredible event planner and person.

My partner and I had discussed whether or not we needed a planner/coordinator for our wedding — and wow, we are so grateful that we chose to work with someone, and specifically chose Pilar Pava Events.

Pilar is extremely organized, detail-oriented, communicative and professional. I truly felt that she went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect, and I know there is a lot of behind-the-scenes effort and coordination amongst numerous vendors that goes into pulling together a large, complicated event. She executed on it flawlessly.

The day of our wedding, we were free from worrying about logistics or small details and trusted fully in Pilar’s capability, which she delivered on entirely. This allowed us to actually ENJOY our wedding.

Throughout the planning process, Pilar kept our vision and style in mind, helped us add personal touches, and helped us consider things that we never would have thought about on our own but made all the difference in our wedding.

I will truly miss working with her now that our wedding is behind us, and will always be grateful for the gigantic role she played in making our wedding the best weekend of our lives. Highly recommend!!

Working with Pilar was a great experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has great taste. She was critical to many parts of our special day from conception to planning to execution. You will be in good hands with Pilar. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for our future events/productions.

I was silly and thought I only needed a planner for the day. I ended up needing Pilar throughout the entire process. She was extremely professional and responsive. Every vendor she recommended was amazing and top notch. She kept us on track and even got my stuff together at the end of the night. Our day was beautiful and perfect!

We worked with Pilar throughout the course of a year to plan my wedding and it truly was one of the best decisions we made throughout that process. We knew what we wanted and could conceptualize the vision, but actually creating it was where Pilar stepped in. She introduced us to the most incredible vendors, added all the little beautiful details before we even thought of them, and was mindful of whatever stress we were experiencing by taking many tasks on herself. We were saved many times by her organizational ability, attention to details, forward thinking, and flexibility to always being available no matter the day/time. We planned a whole weekend of festivities for our guests, with a welcome dinner, rehearsal dinner, golf outings, and the actual wedding event (ceremony/rehearsal) and it all couldn’t have gone more seamlessly! We are immensely grateful to Pilar and attribute a lot of the success of that weekend to her. We plan on working with her for many years to come for every life celebration and event in the future!!

We were a nightmare! Lol. We were very tough, crazy, and chaotic customers. We changed so many details, so many different times. Pilar went above and beyond tolerating us, making us feel special, and did it all with a smile on her face. She has the patience of a saint and id refer her a million times over.

Pilar helped my daughter and I put together the most beautiful wedding and rehearsal dinner. She helped us find unique spaces, wonderful vendors and was always there to answer our questions.
Pilar would think of things we hadn’t thought of, tried to anticipate obstacles, so that in the end, both evenings held no surprises. They were wonderful events.
I would not hesitate to recommend Pilar.

From the moment I spoke to Pilar on the phone she stood out among other wedding planners. She was pleasant, professional, and immediately had answers to several planning issues I had. While I only hired Pilar for the day of my wedding she answered several questions I had beforehand and even saved the day when I needed to find a new hair stylist the week of my wedding. Pilar went above and beyond her duties and flawlessly executed all the plans I created for my wedding day. She made it a stress free and perfect day.
