I can't say enough good things about Cheryl & Shea of Yellow Umbrella Events! I have helped plan, coordinate, & execute many weddings in my career but when it came time to plan my own I was lost. Yellow Umbrella helped us with every detail of our destination elopement from picking the perfect resort, transportation, and more. Cheryl & Shea were available to answer ALL of my questions & ease any concerns. They are true destination wedding planners & know the Cancun/Playa del Carmen/Tulum area better than anyone! If you are looking for an incredible destination wedding you will be glad you chose Yellow Umbrella to help you plan your day!

Cheryl and Shea are the BEST team in the business!!
Honestly, the word that comes to mind when I think about what it was like working with them is “SEAMLESS”
Their attention to detail and communication with not only their couples, but your guests, is second to none. They’re extremely responsive and super familiar with Mexico! They ask all the right questions to make sure you are getting what you want for your big day within the budget you and your husband have set.
Planning a wedding from another country can be stressful but not when you work with Yellow Umbrella Events. They are super informative and extremely resourceful!
We had to make changes to our resort 3 weeks away from our wedding day due to hurricane damage and it happened flawlessly. (We had 70 guests to move)
These two really care about their couples and want to experience for you and your guests to be immaculate.
All of our guests raved on how incredible they were to work with! One of my friends actually immediately booked them after getting engaged, for their destination wedding.
I can go on and on about these two, but we are forever grateful to have found them for our big day!!!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl and Shea. They are seriously the dream team of wedding planning (and really any event).

We had essentially a 4~ day destination wedding in Hawaii and they helped plan a day for rehearsal and welcome party, and the actual wedding. The other two days were one for family where they suggested the event and a beach day after the wedding that we handled.

We started planning our destination wedding in Hawaii in September 2019 to get married in January of 2020 and it was no easy feat but we were lucky to have the best help to make our special day incredible.

We first heard of Cheryl and Shea through my friends whose wedding they planned in Austin. While planning our own wedding, I commented to my friend that I wanted to find a team as great as hers and lo and behold we found out they specialized in destination weddings.

We originally interviewed 4-5 local planners as we wanted someone on the ground but after speaking with Cheryl, we knew they were the perfect fit.

Cheryl was incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to work with on our realatively short timeline. Did we mention we also left the country for a monthlong, pre-wedding honeymoon?!

Cheryl and Shea helped us source vendors in Hawaii, managed the relationships and timelines, and was there whenever we had a question or follow up.

Here are some of the highlights they helped us with;
-Suggest a fun family day event (from 12-9 PM!)
-Source our amazing hair and makeup artist
-Find us a bartender who made bespoke cocktails to service in freshly shucked and cored coconuts and pineapples
-Source a hotel for our guests and get travel planner rates.
-Managed difficult vendors and made it look effortless
-Deal with my difficult mother and helped me deal with it (honestly this can't be emphasized enough)

Don't hesitate to book Yellow Umbrella Events for anything you're planning, they're amazing.
