I was born and raised in Puerto Rico although I lived in Connecticut for a few years. I am a wedding and event planner, devoted mom, happy wife, wine lover and travel enthusiast.

I have been a social event industry devotee for more than 20 years, however, my 16+ years of professional life have been mostly in client-digital-project management. I have an MBA with concentration in Marketing, followed by a graduate certificate in Public Relations and Promotion. 

After the birth of my dear son in 2013, I decided it was time to pursue my passion. 

I’m very proud to recognize and highly value the mentoring and coaching of renowned wedding associations and talented wedding planners in Puerto Rico. I also have an education in floral design, social etiquette, and wine pairing.  

Weddings are beautiful and meaningful events, filled with emotion and good vibes. It’s also a great responsibility. I hold a couple’s dreams in my hands. This is a mission I don’t take lightly. I am determined to create, not only a wonderful wedding experience, but also make sure you enjoy the planning process.

Let’s plan a beautiful soirée!

Three interesting things I have learned in the day-to-day life journey: 

1. There’s always an option.
2. Your day starts when coffee is ready, and end-of-the-day stress can be relieved with a glass of champagne.
3. You can quote everything in life with Sex and the City.
