A lovely recommendation from our most recent Mother-of-the-Bride, Chris Shuman... Thank you for trusting us with such an important celebration and for being so wonderful to work with, Chris! All of your D-I-Y touches really made Katie & Evans wedding extra special! ----------- As mother of the bride, I was very impressed with how Andrea worked with my daughter and her fiancé in the planning their wedding for 120 at the Palapa. We might not have used a wedding planner if the event was in the U.S., but it soon became clear that Andrea was invaluable and I cant imagine having done it without her. Andreas local connections were key. When one venue fell through for the welcome party, she didnt skip a beat and organized an event on the beach that was even better than we had imagined. At the last minute, when we changed the location of the family photos before the wedding, there were 4 Suburbans waiting to whisk us to the venue. The churros made in front of our guests, late night tacos, the mariachi band, this all would have been almost impossible to organize from the States. I really appreciated the fact that Andrea had no agenda, came up with ways to cut costs, offered ideas but didnt push anything until we asked her opinion and then her advice was good. Her day of crew added special little touches that we hadnt expected and the Palapa looked amazing. Andreas coordination with Don Pedros for the food (it was excellent) and bar service was key, even negotiating a better price without being asked. Overall I cant think of one thing that could have been better. On our fairly tight budget, Andrea helped us create a dream wedding for 120 people, for maybe half of what it would have cost in the U.S., and all the guests loved being in Mexico.
