Vida Bonita Wedding and Event Planning in San Pancho

The best decision we made in our wedding planning was to hire Somer at Vida Bonita Events for her full wedding coordination services, we couldn't have planned our destination wedding without her. She is well organized, keeps track of contracts, and worked well with all of our vendors, keeping everyone in touch and coordinated. Somer is great at identifying what issues were most critical and important to address during our planning process. She has a great list of vendors that she's worked with and trusts to provide top notch service that she can recommend to you. Our guests are still raving about the BEST churros they have ever eaten and the food Don Pedros catered for us. For planning she made a sharable Google spreadsheet that we could both edit to include information on vendors and dates in which money payments were due, a wedding day timeline, information on your wedding party, and so much more. She organized multiple events for us, a taco cart for my fiancee's mothers 70th birthday, a wedding welcome party, the wedding, and a post wedding brunch. She and her assistant arrive early to every event to set up and stay for majority of the time to ensure that everything is running well. Somer helped us create a vision for our wedding and even designed and built us a wall to hang luggage tags on, which served as the seating chart and wedding favors for our guests, she also designed table numbers, a welcome sign, a bride and groom sign for our wedding seats, cocktail signs, and found a great shelf to display photos of loved ones who have passed. Somer kept things moving and on time without telling us, the bride and groom, or anyone in our party to hurry it up. She helped organized transportation for guests, was available to our us and guests via text, what's app, email and the phone. This made it super easy to communicate and plan and organize. She'll be there for you every step and you will not regret for a second that you've asked her to help plan your wedding!!!

My now husband and I were looking for a wedding planner for our wedding that we were trying to plan from home in the states. Somer (vida bonita events) was one of the few we reached out to and the fact that she was super fast with her responses, very easy to get a hold of as well as professional and transparent about services she offers made us feel confident in choosing her ! We first went out to visit and meet Somer a year before our wedding and we were so blown away at how patient and organized she is. Having venue visits and vendor meetings set up for us on top of also being present for a current wedding she was in charge of at the time, you would have never known because she's just THAT amazing at what she does.
From the time we first visited Sayulita to a year later for our wedding, the big day was here and it couldn't have been any more perfect. Now,I know everyone says this about their wedding day but seriously, everything we asked of Somer which I know at times seemed a lot she made it happen, from a monogram on the dance floor and not just any dance floor a white dance floor to be specific to having a hanging chandelier and cigar roller she handled it all with grace and the whole look came together beautifully! There would be nothing I would do differently or change about the whole planning process with Vida Bonita! If you are looking for someone to help guide you, give you their professional opinion , create a beautiful ambiance for your wedding and someone who works with the best vendors In Sayulita look no further because Somer is your go-to planner! Thank you Somer for your amazing work we are thrilled to now have a friend in Sayulita!

Somer is simply amazing. I had my wedding at Flor de la Playa, October 2018 and she was the easiest and most responsive wedding planner we reached out to. At the beginning I cared about a couple things, good food, plenty of alcohol, and an amazing celebration with friends and family. I had no idea how to pull together colors, furniture, place settings, photographers, churros, burros, etc. Thankfully, Somer was able to take threads of an idea and pull off not only a beautiful and fun wedding, but a welcome party. For only knowing us a few short months, she was able to encompass our laid back vibes and enhance it. She helped us find the best deals on rentals and found places were we didn't have to spend without compromising the experience. Day of the wedding she constantly checked in to make sure I had food and drink, she made sure I was taking time to enjoy the day. I can't recommend her enough. She helped plan a wedding that our loved ones not only enjoyed, but were able to create priceless memories we will cherish for years to come.

I am so glad that we decided to hire Somer. Attempting to find a planner who was flexible and willing to help plan a small wedding at an affordable price was not easy, but I'm glad we pushed through and found Somer. An intimate family only wedding of 10 might sound like it would be easy to plan but it still requires communication with a range of people (facility, food, photographer, florist, musician, decorations, furniture rental, etc.). My husband and I wanted to hire someone who we knew could handle all of these moving pieces and create a beautiful celebration on the ground so that we did not have to get bogged down in and stressed out by the details from afar. Somer did all of that while always considering our budget, and we were overall very impressed by the vendors she hooked us up with (especially photography and flowers). Not to mention she's super nice, fun, and accommodating. Even when I was suuuuper stressed in the last hour leading up to the ceremony, Somer was there to support me, make sure everything was perfect, feed me champagne, and make the entire experience fun. Her staff was also great. Do yourself a favor and hire Vida Bonita to help plan your perfect wedding!

Somer is EXCELLENT! She was always available when I had any questions, big or small. She met with me multiple times leading up to the wedding, and even was in touch with my Maid of honor to make sure execution was flawless. I never had a moment of worry or doubt with Somer and the whole wedding planning process. She even helped me make decisions on detail when I couldn't make up my mind. I was 200% satisfied with the execution of my wedding and would do it all over again in a second!

We were so fortunate to have Somer work out the details for a dinner we hosted in PV. She asked all the right questions, was great with her followups, thought of all the details, and offered to do way more than we expected. (We did all the planning via email and a couple of phone calls!)
When we finally meet Somer, a couple of days before the event, we found her to be personable, super helpful, flexible, a lot of fun, and very professional.
Needless to say, the dinner was a complete success! Everyone had a great time and kept mentioning how impressed they were with the arrangements. We can't wait to go back and do this all over again, but only with Somer!

Somer at Vida Bonita is absolutely incredible. We interviewed a number of planners before deciding on her and couldn't be happier. We came down to Sayulita to look at venues and do tastings and were able to knock out all of the big decisions quickly. We threw five events over the course of the weekend; she kept us on schedule to get every decision made, was flexible in figuring out various quirks we wanted for the wedding, and made it an unbelievably low-stress weekend. HIGHLY recommend.

Somer is a bright warm ray of sunshine beaming on you in the dark depths of wedding planning confusion! It’s been a week since our Sayulita, Mexico wedding and my friends, family and I are still beaming from our time there, especially the day of our wedding. From the beginning, I found Somer easy to communicate with, organized in her thoughts, extremely resourceful, and quick with solutions. She was respectful of our budget which was a huge relief as well. She understood our vision, made planning fun, and ideas possible! She made suggestions if she knew I was struggling with a decision; all of this made me feel safe and in good hands. Her timing was great and correspondence was easy, never pushy! I found that last minute changes were never a problem with her. For example, I switched up table choices even after I ok’d a quote of a different one, I thought a week before it would be nice to add lounge chairs, I was finicky about which photo booth company to use, but none of this seemed like it inconvenienced her. She even found locally sourced items and assembly of our wedding favors which turned out beautifully. All this was done easily. I don’t recall ever feeling too stressed and if I did, she’d casually reassure me that she wasn’t worried about anything. Which is what you need to hear in these situations! Closer to the wedding, I’d talk to some of the local businesses there and found that locals were quick to vouch for her whenever I mentioned she was my coordinator. Always a good sign! Meeting her for the first night we arrived at our welcome party I was frazzled from being late due to a very busy airport/shuttle situation with our guests and checking into our rentals but she was very relaxed and had a familiar demeanor. She said not to worry and that they wouldn’t start the party until we arrived. She arranged to extend the party for everyone else arriving late which was awesome. The day of the wedding she arrived early, her staff and also her boyfriend who was really nice were quick to help and also relaxed as things were being set up. It was exciting to watch our vision come together–overall it felt like planning was a true collaboration. She was there for all the events and always kept me in the loop. I was happy to do anything she asked which wasn’t much. I’m very humbled by how good and non-stressful this kind of service can actually be for such a huge life event. Many many hugs and thanks to you Somer for helping us make last week the best week of our lives. Soo sad it’s over!
