This package is ideal for couples who would like full service help planning their destination wedding in Mexico and desire a relationship with their planner and expert advice on decision making in all regards. Now that your hotel has been selected, contract has been signed, it’s time to start making decisions and selecting suppliers. Most hotels will offer an army of wedding planners hired to help you. Unfortunately these services are not always personalized and can lack the emotional connection you might be looking for.
Hotels’ wedding planners have the right intentions and are hard workers; unfortunately, they deal with hundreds of clients at once, limiting the amount of time per couple. If you desire a relationship with a wedding planner, want to customize your wedding to your own taste and have someone by your side every step of the planning, then this is the right package for you!
In this package we will focus in finding the best supplier per category and helping you with the design of your wedding! This means face to face meetings for Chicago locals or Skype meetings for couples elsewhere. We will help you every step of the planning, work out every detail leading up to your big trip, to ensure you have the wedding you envision, such as:
