Wedding Testimonials

Selecting Mil Besos as my wedding planner was the best decision I made for my wedding. Meghan helped us narrow down a venue (providing pros and cons) and made vendor selection super easy! At each step of the way, she helped us narrow down our decisions and helped make the process stress-free. We ended up with the most incredible wedding vendors that helped make our day incredible!

Flowers, tables, candles, etc. can all be so overwhelming. There are a ton of options. Cata helped make this process so easy! She took my Pinterest board and brought it to life! When the first flower and rental quote came back way out of budget, she went to a second vendor and helped us find a way to stay close to our budget. Everything turned out better than I could have imagined!

On top of all the wedding planning, Arlene and Eunice helped all of our guests with transportation to Manuel Antonio. Several of our guests worked with Arlene to book additional days/activities in Costa Rica and only had wonderful things to say! We had a lot of last minute travel issues, Eunice helped adjust the shuttles to meet our guests needs quickly and efficiently. They were wonderful to work with!

Mil Besos is the most incredible, organized, and supportive wedding planning company. They helped me plan my gorgeous destination wedding and created a relaxing, beautiful, and memorable experience for all our guests. We really appreciated that they got to know us and made vendor recommendations that suited us so well. They were also super communicative and helped us field endless questions, navigate guest travel delays, and provide us with words of encouragement and wisdom each step of the way! We loved everything about our wedding and highly recommend the wonderful ladies that make up the Mil Besos team – Meghan, Cata, Arlene, Eunice, Chelsea, Kerry – we are forever grateful to you!! Pura Vida!

It was so hard to try to pick a wedding planner in a country we had never even visited before, but once I started chatting with Meghan at Mil Besos I knew she was the right person to help us! She sent us a quote and was VERY informative. I had received a couple of less expensive quotes from other planners and when I asked her about the difference she was very honest and straightforward in how things work in Costa Rica and what to expect. I could tell her knowledge and connections with the local vendors would save me a lot more stress and money in the long run! I am so thankful we chose to work with Mil Besos.

They planned our entire 12-day trip, not only for my husband and I, but for all our guests – including transportation. They sent everyone an individualized itinerary with the different hotels and activities everyone chose. They handled all the payments to the different hotels, transportation companies, and activities so that guests were able to pay through one easy system. We made things complicated with which items we wanted to cover for all or just some guests, but it didn’t phase the staff at Mil Besos one bit. They were so helpful and accommodating the entire time.

Mil Besos recently did my sisters wedding and they were nothing short of professional, helpful and friendly. The entire team made traveling to another country (first for me during the pandemic) so easy. Not only did they plan such a beautiful wedding and helped my sisters dream come to life but they also provided the traveling services to all of the guests to make sure our trip and travel was seamless. I highly recommend them! Pura Vida from AZ!

WOW. This team BLEW my expectations. From helping me with every little detail, to making sure our destination wedding went off without any issues! These ladies are experts and the best you can hire! Any question or issue I was having they were right there with a solution to figure it out. They made our wedding day go so flawlessly and perfect especially with Sol and Kerry coordinating our day and making it so wonderful, you ladies are AWESOME! Thank you again for EVERYTHING, we are so happy we chose milbesos as our wedding planner and if you hire them for yours you can expect nothing but GREATNESS! ✨♥️

From our very first conversation til the day we left Costa Rica, Meghan and her team were the absolute best and that is an understatement. Having no idea what we wanted or where to ven start, we were given guidance, ideas and a scheduled itinerary for us to come pre-decision making. Our planning process was just under one year and Mil Besos was there every step of the way. Meghan was available to chat anytime we needed her and answered any and all questions/concerns. I knew when I arrived in Costa Rica everything was going to be amazing but I didn’t realize how amazing. We had multiple events throughout the wedding weekend and Kerry & Sol were there helping me, my family and all of our guests get where they needed to be (and on time!) You never know what to expect when you make all of your decisions over the phone or based on photos but Cata took everything I liked and turned it into more than I ever could have imagined. I was blown away by how my wedding turned out. On my actual wedding day Sol and Kerry MADE IT HAPPEN. My groom and I wanted for nothing and we loved being able to spend time with them all day. There aren’t enough hours in the day to go on and on, if I could I would. Aside from saying yes to your partner, hiring Mil Besos will be the second best decision you ever make. I promise.

My husband, Collin, and I recently had our destination wedding celebration in Tamarindo, Costa Rica and honestly could not have asked for a more memorable or magical experience – We owe so much of that to our wonderful wedding planner, Meghan & the amazing Mil Besos team!!

Like many couples planning a wedding during the pandemic, the several delays and two years leading up to our big weekend came with more change and uncertainty than we had ever anticipated. However, not once did we doubt that things would work out as they should, solely because of how Meghan and her team continuously kept us at ease, reminding us to look forward and focus on the good. We can’t think of one moment throughout our wedding planning experience where we weren’t appreciative of the constant help and support we received from this team, as Meghan and the team went above and beyond to ensure we had our perfect wedding, despite all that they were dealing with on their end.

We also couldn’t have been more in love with the design and overall look and feel of our wedding – Cata completely brought our vision to life!! She was so wonderful to work with throughout, always collaborating and lending creative, unique ideas. She’s truly as good as it gets when it comes to creating a personalized aesthetic and a vibe! When it came to helping our U.S. guest list navigate this big trip, Meghan and Arlene were so, so helpful every step of the way. All of our family and friends commented on how seamless the entire process was multiple times because of how much info they were provided by Mil Besos throughout. This was huge for us since most of our guests had never been to Costa Rica before! We really valued this dimension of the planning process. Not to mention, Meghan was overly accommodating when it came to asking for recs or advice for our trip outside of our actual wedding. Another testament to the amazing person she is.

As far as day-of logistics, Kerry and Sol absolutely rocked it. Never once did I feel stressed of how it would all be pulled off because of how much they took off our plates. It was so amazing for Collin and I to be able to focus on the important moments because of their organization, guidance and overall relaxed demeanors. Total dream team!! I could go on and on about our incredibly positive experience with Meghan and the Mil Besos team, but there’s just not enough words to express our gratitude. We will be forever thankful to them for helping us to plan and pull off the most insanely beautiful, memorable and love-filled wedding experience we could have ever imagined for ourselves…One we will look back on with big smiles for the rest of our married lives!

An open letter to the women of Mil Besos:
Your line of work comes with many variables, challenges, and emotions, but you handle each one with such grace. You are a powerhouse group of women and I feel so lucky, not only to have had you as our wedding planners, but to have met you as humans. You made our wedding (and even the planning) fun, seamless, and perfect in every way. Thank you for holding my hand, guiding me in directions I didn’t even know I wanted, and for brining our vision to life. Your attention to detail, organization and passion is incredible. I wish I had more words to express how much each of you mean to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are counting down the days until we can come back to visit you in CR! xo

Meghan,
Where do we begin? We are still in shock about how beautiful our wedding was. It has been over a month since that perfect day but we are still on a high from that whole week. Everything from the welcome party to the day after brunch exceeded our expectations. We have you and your team at Mil Besos to thank for that. It is truly a miracle with the date change, we were able to keep all the same vendors except Tricia.

Despite the ever changing Covid protocols that occurred throughout the past year, you were able to accommodate us and our guests’ concerns. The stress we felt would have been immeasurable without everyone at Mil Besos working hard to adapt to these changes while still reminding us that it was going to be the best day of our lives! As two type A people, Asana and your spreadsheets were extremely helpful during the whole process in keeping us on task.

We are so thankful that you were able to set up all our trials in July. Getting to meet everyone in person and see your vision come to life was not only helpful in the planning process but such an amazing experience. Everyone from Jaime, Vicky and obviously Sol and Eduardo were wonderful and you can truly tell they love what they do.

There are so many details we could gush about from each event. Our guests could not get enough of the set up and the taco bar from the welcome party. Everyone could not stop talking about how delicious Sol and Eduardo’s food was. The rehearsal dinner at Pangas was also a hit. That setting at sunset could not have been more beautiful. Of course, the main event, wedding day was everything we could’ve wanted and more. We may be biased but it was absolutely the most gorgeous and well set up wedding we’ve ever seen. From the arch to the pipas to the cocktail hour set up, our guests were wowed every step of the way. Every single one of our guests is still saying it’s their favorite wedding they’ve ever been to. We both would like to freeze frame seeing the wedding backdrop for the first time walking down the aisle.

We also need to take a minute acknowledge Sol and how she truly made our wedding morning go as smoothly as possible despite the anxiety we both had. Getting the family to where they needed to be, making sure the officiant was on task and being the very best hype woman to us both, eased our minds that day. As you know, organizing a big group of people is a tall task but Sol did it seamlessly. We owe it all to you for connecting us with Sueño.

With all that being said, we really just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for planning our dream wedding. We know that everyone who had a hand in our wedding including Michelle from Bacalao films and Chris and Karla from Raw Shoots, helped make the day a dream.

If you have anything for a post-wedding questionnaire to provide feedback let us know and we’d be happy to fill that out! And we would also love to support your vendors and provide them with reviews that can help their businesses so if you have any ideas for that please let us know. We’re crossing our fingers that we’ll cross paths again and some of our friends will chance to plan their future weddings with Mil Besos in Costa Rica!! 🙂

With Love,
Amanda and Luke

Sol was truly a gem! She was always in control and made us feel well taken care of while still creating a masterpiece outside. Plus, she immediately felt like family.
