Karen made our wedding absolutely unforgettable. Everything was so thoughtfully done and exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you Karen!

You have to stay at Villa Amor! Beautiful rooms to gorgeous views. We found this place through a friend and we decided to have our wedding here in Sayulita. We had most of our family and friends stay at Villa Amor so we got to check out most of the rooms. I stayed at Bonita - which has a huge balcony, Personal kitchen, and great ocean views. My brother and his wife stayed at Pacifico - 2 bedroom, personal pool, Huge living room for hosting, and ocean views. Highly recommend this spot. 

So first off, if you’re planning your wedding here please get in contact with Karen Ruezga, she is the best at what she does. You can email/call Villa Amor and they will get you in contact with her. She is super responsive and very professional. Down to budget sheets to last minute requests. She is on top of it all!! 

My wife and I got to Sayulita a few days before the wedding. We wanted to get a few days in before the wedding hosting had to start. Sure enough the morning (7am) before the wedding rehearsal my wife is sick and has the stomach bug. I make it to the local pharmacy and get her drugs with hopes of it working and then head to the wedding rehearsal to meet Karen. Once there and I explain to Karen what is going on she immediately tells me she’s going to take care of it and calls a doctor to head to our room. It felt like a weight taken off my shoulders cause I knew Karen would come through , and she did. Doctor showed up / Bed Nurse for 10hrs- 3 bags- and few injections later my wife was good to go by 6pm. It was incredible! 

The wedding the following day was amazing. We did it on the beach at Junto al Rio (5-10min golf cart ride from Villa Amor). This is the place to do it at if you want a beach wedding. Dancing on the sand and drinking it all in. The whole place had lights dangling from the trees and the Sayulita flags as well. Wish I could do it all over again. 

Wish you the best! Cheers!

I almost can't put into words how amazing our Villa Amor wedding was!! I was seriously blown away with how gorgeous it looked when everything came together, seriously a dream! Karen was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and a true rockstar on the day of. Her organization, attention to detail, delightful personality - it was all perfect. I wish we could do it all over again. :)

There are truly no words to describe how wonderful Karen, her entire team, and Villa Amor are. We are speechless!

I cannot thank Karen and the staff of Villa Amor enough. The staff of Villa Amor are so friendly and incredibly genuine. They really wanted to make sure each one of our 30+ guests that were staying on the property had EVERYTHING (and then some) they could possibly need or want. And even for our guests that were not staying on property, Karen and the Villa Amor staff arranged taxis for them too! Not to mention the Villas are beautiful, breathtaking and just so fun!The day of the wedding (and all the days leading up to it) were a BREEZE thanks to Karen. She is an exceptional wedding planner. We communicated via email since I was not local and Karen and her staff were on it! She had incredible recommendations for local vendors including (but not limited to) photography, hair/makeup, DJ and cake. It is clear that Karen has built incredible relationships with these vendors, as they all spoke so highly of her and they too rocked the evening!My wedding was so magical. Every detail of it is was incredible! From the lit incense path walking through the jungle, to the beautiful table arrangements, the torch placements, tea lights in the trees. It completely blew my expectations out of the water. When I first started working with her, she asked me what things I wanted to walk away feeling / remembering about that night and what I wanted my guests to. My answer for both, was a magical night with good food and dancing. I have to tell you - everyone is STILL talking about how this is the best wedding they ever attended. The food was INCREDIBLE, the cake was delicious (I wish I got to eat more of it), the churros were a complete hit (as Karen said they would be) and everyone had so much fun dancing we did not care that we are all drenched in sweat!I had read reviews of Karen's wonderfulness, but I have to say these reviews do NOT do justice to the incredible evening she created for me, my husband and my family. 10 stars and my whole-hearted recommendation.

My husband and I got married at Villa Amor in Sayulita in August and it was perfect! Other than some hiccups with location changes when we arrived, everything else ran smoothly. Our guests are still talking about it as their most favorite wedding ever! Karen was in constant communication and made our vision come to life. I highly recommend Karen and Villa Amor!

I can't not express how thankful we are for Karen and all the staff at Villa Amor. They were amazing to everyone at the party and our guest that stayed at the Villa Amor hotel. All our guest could not stop taking about how beautiful the wedding was and how great the service they got at our wedding from the waiters, bartenders and all the staff. Villa Amor is such an amazing venue, so romantic and beautiful. Karen and her assistant went the extra mile to make sure the wedding had unique details customized to Raul and I. She had chalk boards and signs that just made the reception special to us. The drinks, food and DJ all exceed my expectations. I cant thank Karen enough for putting together such an amazing and beautiful wedding. I will forever have these beautiful memories of our wedding day.

Also I highly recommend the churro bar vendor Karen recommends. The churros were delicious and the talk of town after the wedding. The churro vendor even sent the Groom and I a bag of churros after the receptions. Perfect way to end the night.

We had SUCH an amazing experience working with Karen Ruezga. She's extremely organized, professional, and did a fantastic job turning our vision into reality!

Planning a destination wedding can be challenging, because there's so much that's simply out of your control. That said, Karen is excellent at communication, which really helped put us at ease. We felt very confident working with her team, and they absolutely delivered!

I can't say enough about how beautiful our wedding was, and the attention to detail that was given. The entire day exceeded our expectations, and Villa Amor was truly the perfect setting for our wedding. At Karen's recommendation, we held our ceremony on the restaurant terrace, and our reception on the patio of Villa Terraza - it was gorgeous! The views were amazing, and it was perfect for the size of our group.

We had an amazing experience, as did our guests. We highly recommend Karen to anyone considering a wedding in Sayulita! Thanks again, Karen! :)

We knew within minutes of meeting Karen Ruezga at Villa Amor that she was the wedding planner for us. She is professional and organized, yet has the laidback vibe that drew us Sayulita in the first place.

Karen and her team surpassed all expectations on the day of our wedding, which was held at Playa Amor. They setup really early, accepted deliveries, coordinated with our DJ, and flawlessly executed our vision.

We learned after the fact that there was some construction on the beach during the time we were scheduled to have our ceremony. Of course Karen handled it perfectly and gave the workers a case of beer and encouraged them to take a break. Our guests use this as just one example of how amazing Karen is.

The service was honestly some of the best we’ve ever had, anywhere. One group of friends said they were discussing whether they should take tequila shots, and within seconds, a waiter arrived with their shots! We originally wanted a plated dinner service, but wound up getting the Mexican buffet. We are so glad we did! The service staff pulled out our chairs and carried our plates to and from the buffet. This wasn’t just for us, they did it for all of our guests!

The planning process was stress-free. Karen will have you make planning decisions in batches, so you can focus on a few details at a time, rather than feeling overwhelmed. She also provides a few suggested day-of schedules depending on your desired start time. This was really helpful when coordinating with our photographer. We wanted wooden tables and chairs, which are not included in the package, so we rented them with the help of Karen. We also brought some of our own decor, which Karen setup perfectly.

We cannot thank and recommend Karen enough - our wedding day was absolutely magical.

Oh my gosh, where do I even begin with Karen! My husband and I decided we wanted a destination wedding and picked Sayulita. After looking at a few different wedding planners, we picked Karen since we were staying at Villa Amor. Karen was amazing! She always responded to my emails in a timely manner and always made me feel comfortable and nothing to worry about. I went back and forth a lot of what I wanted the wedding to look like and sent her a lot of Pinterest photos. I was a little worried leading up to the wedding just because we had never been to Sayulita or had been to the venue. Karen was so amazing when we got to Sayulita. She answered all of my last minute questions and had everything under control. My wedding was a dream!! It was exactly what I wanted and was a replica of all my photos on Pinterest. Karen was so easy to work with and put all of my worries away!!!
