Mexico Wedding in Sayulita, Mexico

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!!!

The wedding planner at Villa Amor exceeded our expectations. She was always available during the planning process, and the wedding itself was so well organized. She paid attention to detail, and made sure to listen to our requests.
I highly recommend Karen @ Villa Amor to plan your wedding!

Our wedding at Villa Amor was absolutely flawless thanks to Karen. We had a perfect evening and everything up until the event was made easy by Karen. She knows the venue, Sayulita, and all the details to make an absolutely stunning event. My groom and I had did not have a single complaint and neither did any of our guests. Karen was always easily available and extremely accommodating. She answered every question throughly and gave great advice when needed. I would recommend her to any future bride and groom!

We can't believe it has been a week since our incredible wedding! We wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Karen for all that she did to ensure our wedding was the success that it was. Her professionalism, eye for detail, and calm demeanor were very much appreciated! It can be difficult to plan a destination wedding, but she helped us through the process and we knew we were in good hands.

We wanted to especially thank her for being patient with us during the meeting before the wedding when discussing the possible need for a tent. I lost my cool a bit out of anxiety, and she really helped us to keep our eye on the bigger picture. Plus, her telling us the next day that we don't need the tent was one of the highlights of our week!!!!

Karen also for helped us coordinate a band and a horse for our Friday night event. It was such a success and it meant a lot to all of us to incorporate some of my culture into our wedding events. We were unsure as to how to accomplish this, but Karen helped walk us through and made sure everything was in place.

All of the extra touches Karen brought to the decor at Frente Al Punto were just beautiful, beyond anything I even imagined. Everyone raved about the look of the venue, the service, the food, and let's not forget, the booze :) Karen truly helped us create the wedding of our dreams, and we will forever be grateful.

As we planned our wedding we knew we wanted it to be in Sayulita. We looked at a few different options but realized quickly Villa Amor and Karen was our best option. We had no idea we were in for such an amazing experience. As the planning began, right away Karen was so organized and willing to help with every question big or small. We felt like no bother at all to her-- we could tell how much she truly cared about our day. The planning experience was stress free and so organized thanks to Karen's expertise. Everything leading up to the wedding was great, but it was the day of the wedding when we were truly blown away by Karen. O M G!!! I had a vision for my wedding, but Karen way surpassed it and made the look, design and feel of the wedding even better. I was not stressed about anything. Karen took my ideas and vision and made it come to life-- the colors were beautiful, the set up, and the day ran so smoothly. Every single person has told us our wedding was the best they've been to. We had the best time ever. It was, simply, perfect. I know that is all thanks to Karen. If I had to plan a wedding again, I would never do it without Karen. She is so helpful and creative, but more than that, friendly, kind, warm, and so focused on you and your day. I cannot thank Karen and the Villa Amor team enough. We will always look back on our wedding and all Karen did for us with such gratitude and happiness. Karen, you are the best!!!!!!!!

While the venue and staff were outstanding, the real star was Karen.

After receiving quotes from other (hard to contact) planners, I didn’t think this was a service I could afford. Then I found Karen.

For a year and a half, Karen kept constant communication with me for the planning of a perfectly executed wedding. I can honestly say I wasn’t nervous at all the big day because Karen was on top of EVERYTHING. I didn’t have to worry about the flowers or tables or setup and was allowed to be fully present for the day. This alone is invaluable. She really went above and beyond to make this the most special day.

If you are looking for someone to head your wedding, find her :)

We absolutely loved the services of our wedding planner, Karen Ruezga and Villa Amor. Karen kept in contact with us via email for over a year, sending us documents along the way as we keeps closer and closer to the big day. We never felt overwhelmed or lost in the process, as Karen carefully went over all the details through a period of time. The day before, as requested, she walked our officiant through the process at the rehearsal, and the day of, greeted us in the morning, keeping us on schedule and would contact our vendors making sure they were arriving on time. Karen was with us the entire wedding. One of the favorite things we appreciated about her services was immediately before the reception started, Karen provided an opportunity for us to just stand on the patio of La Gran Villa, privately watching the sun slowly set while she took care of our arriving guests. It was a special moment for us.

We loved Villa Amor. They had done some renovations after we had done our pre-visit, and we loved the upgrades. The dance floor outside of La Gran Villa was lit up, and some safety features we put in. La Gran Villa and Paraiso were perfect for our wedding party, and we traveled between both villas easily. Our guests were able to come up and spend time with us. The day after the wedding, our family came up and spent time in the Villas while we were away at the beach. We appreciated having a guard outside the gate, as we all arrived at different times and kept the whole place unlocked. We felt very safe up there.

For the wedding, the vendors who set up and catered the meals were incredible. This was the best food we have ever eaten at a wedding. Excellent servers and bartenders. Our guests were constantly entertained that evening. The set up was also perfect. We watched it slowly being put together a day before, but the moment we set foot on the courtyard to meet each other for our first look, we were greeted to a fully set up reception, better than imagined or planned. Thank you Karen!

Karen is amazing. She had notes on everything i ever requested in the last year we have been planning together. She literally made my vision come to life all while planning from afar! I could not get over how everything was exactly what I requested. It was stunning!! There was no stress day of as Karen took care of it all and everything went so smooth! Our guests even comments about our timeline and the flow of our wedding and how great it was! My wedding was at the Gran Villa at Villa Amor, the venue was stunning and Karen gave us great vendor suggestions and advice. The perfect wedding!

We couldn’t have been happier with how my daughters wedding unfolded at the Grand Villa @ Villa Amor in Sayulita Mexico!!! The wedding planner, Karen, was amazing!!! She gave us exactly what we had asked for! My daughter did things a bit different and Karen never tried to change Molly’s mind on anything and the entire day went perfect as planned. Karen was in attendance more than we had expected. She was there for the entire rehearsal and all day of the wedding. Our wedding wasn’t until 5:00 in the evening but Karen was there at the Grand Villa all day directing all the decorations etc. My girls thought she was not only adorable

Karen was a pleasure to work with, she took over completely the day of the wedding and made everything perfect! I gave her simple direction on what I wanted and she went above and beyond in every aspect! The decorations and layout of everything was more than what I had envisioned! Loved everything and I can't thank Karen and her team enough for such a successful and memorable day!
