Mexico Wedding in Sayulita, Mexico

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!

I can't begin to thank Karen for all the amazing work she put into my wedding. Her ideas were excellent and she created the wedding of my dreams. Working with her was very easy and stress free. If you are looking for a wedding planner she is it!

She is decisive, has excellent taste, amazing leadership and planning leading up to and the day of the wedding.

Karen - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Karen is an amazing wedding coordinator, she brought my vision to life and then some. She has so many amazing little decoration items and ideas and they all came together in the most fun and romantic way. She is also extremely organized which put me at ease from day one, she does not overwhelm you in the beginning stages and then works on your pace as you are moving along in planning. The day of the wedding was extremely calm all due to Karen, she had so much going on behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a thing. She communicates with you so your day goes as exactly as you want it to. Highly recommend to any kind of bride, Type A or super laid back!

Karen not only cares but is highly attentive and effective at her job. She made our wedding at Villa Amor the best day of our lives. She couldn't have been any better and I urge others to use her in the future for their big day. Thanks Karen!!

My wife and I were considering wedding venues at several locations in Mexico, including Tulum, but Villa Amor in Sayulita quickly stood out to us. We live in California, and one of our greatest concerns was planning a wedding from so far away. After reading many reviews from couples who married at Villa Amor, one of the clear commonalities was the way every reviewer spoke so highly of Villa Amor’s event coordinator, Karen Ruezga. Karen certainly lived up to her reputation. We quickly learned to trust her advice, and she earned that trust over and over and over again. Our wedding was beautiful, and many guests mentioned that it was their favorite wedding they had attended. Karen, more than anyone, deserves credit for creating such a special event for us. She is very professional, organized, accommodating, and answered all of our countless emails so kindly and in detail. On the day of our wedding she was on point, and very helpful. The vendors were also fantastic; the Mexican buffet (best chicken mole ever), churros, coconuts, Spanish guitarists, DJs (Salvador and Pepe), and florist (thank you Mireya from Flor Mimo!!).

Villa Amor is in a perfect location in Sayulita, just a short walk south of town. Their villas are quite unique and most have incredible views of the beaches and the Pacific. There is a lot of great food in Sayulita, but we can honestly say that the restaurant at Villa Amor is one of our favorites. All of the staff at Villa Amor were so very friendly, helpful, and worked really hard to accommodate our guests.

We would certainly recommend Villa Amor, and Karen Ruezga to any couple who is considering a wedding in Mexico. We are looking forward to returning in the years to come.

We were married in February of 2017 at Villa Amor, and it was the best experience of our lives! Karen was beyond incredible through the planning process. Being wedding professionals ourselves we are very particular, and Karen and crew made us feel cared for and special all throughout. She was extremely responsive, efficient, kind, helpful, thoughtful, etc etc. Our wedding on the patio of La Gran Villa was the most beautiful and special thing we have ever seen, thanks to hours of hard work by Karen, the many vendors she recommended, and their ability to make our vision come to life. She took care of problems big and small so that we could focus on what was important - getting married to each other, and enjoying the company of our closest family and friends in paradise.

We could not be happier with our experience, and we recommend Karen wholeheartedly for any wedding or event. Tears come to my eyes when I think of everything she did to make our wedding week perfect. Thank you to Karen and the Villa Amor team for making the best week of our lives even better.

I don't know where to start! My husband and I planned our wedding at Villa Amor from Southern California. We booked the venue without ever visiting because of the amazing photos we saw online and excellent reviews. About 7 months before the wedding we took a trip out and Villa Amor was exactly what we hoped it would be. It was a very unique venue with beautiful views and excellent service. Karen Ruezga, our wedding coordinator made it so easy to plan the wedding. We consistently emailed back and forth and she was incredibly organized. She had catalogues of everything that we could use for the wedding (chairs, linens, candleholders, lamps, vases, everything!). In addition to that, we could basically bring anything that we wanted to for décor and favors at no charge. I arrived with escort cards, favors, candles, and papel picado banners. I thought that I would have to set everything up myself, but Karen and her staff took care of EVERYTHING. I didn't have to do anything once I got there. Once everything was set up it was even better than I expected! Karen and her team have excellent taste and style and the tablescapes and décor were executed perfectly! She put me in touch with wonderful vendors that gave me exactly what I imagined! It was a dream wedding!

Karen is so amazing! She nailed every detail I ever wanted! It was truly my dream wedding and everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been too! She is always just an email away and somehow is the nicest person to deal with:) Truly a wonderful person!

I truly cannot thank Karen enough for playing such a huge role in one of the best days of our lives... I thought people exaggerated when they said that about their wedding day, but now I know it is a true feeling and Karen and her team are to thank for that! I could not have imagined a more perfect weekend vacation and wedding day - from start to finish Karen held my hand through the wedding planning process, answered my many many questions and created the most perfect day beyond my wildest dreams. She was absolutely amazing dealing with countless emails from miles away, but when we arrived onsite, Karen and the Villa Amor staff made us feel special and loved! Everyone was so incredibly helpful and outgoing to us and all of our guests - the hotel staff even knew who we were at the end of our stay which was so comforting and an awesome feeling... besides the amazing property, views, top notch service and delicious food, there are some incredible people who work at Villa Amor and we really enjoyed getting to know them! All of the tiny details that Karen and her team put together on the day of the wedding left me shocked and so impressed (including finding a pinata and stuffing it with goodies with a few hours notice). As an event planner in my career, it took a lot of me not to come out of the Gran Villa and help Karen's team set up instead of get ready and relax on the morning of the wedding, but Karen definitely built a huge trust with me which put me at ease and I cannot thank her enough for that... I always imagined running around like crazy on my wedding day, but I got to enjoy the amazing Gran Villa pool while the team handled the decor and setup. Karen handled everything with grace and made the vision in my head a true reality and I am so beyond impressed. She is so amazing at what she does! I will rave on and on about my wedding day for years to come and the biggest regret that I have about the day is how fast it flew by... It was truly so so amazing and Karen did a wonderful job... I cannot thank her enough!
