So Happy I Hired Randy with Celebrations Costa Rica

Randy was an asset to my wedding day at Villa Caletas (Amphitheater Ceremony)! She made my wedding absolutely stunning and beautiful! She really exceeded my expectations. My wedding day was beyond my wildest dreams because of her.

There is a lot of uncertainty planning a destination wedding. Being from the USA, I had to relinquish a lot of control. I actually had never been to Costa Rica or to my Venue until I got there but Randy handled everything and made me feel so secure in my decisions.

One of the reasons I hired Randy is because she had so many connections in Costa Rica and a great reputation at Villa Caletas. She was an excellent negotiator and knew how to deliver on exactly what I wanted by sending just a few pictures and sharing my pinterest board. I was impressed by the fact that she never overwhelmed me with options or encouraged me to go with the most expensive vendor. She consistently delivered on exactly what I was looking for and under budget. She saved us money in some places even!

Randy was also an excellent communicator. I asked her so many questions and sent her so many emails and she always got back to me withing 24 hours. This was very impressive because other wedding planners I interviewed were not nearly as responsive as Randy.

I had hired my photographer, makeup artist, and DJ before I hired Randy but she was still able to seamlessly coordinate and organize everything. She communicated with my vendors, read contracts, and created a day-of timeline. She even helped me stay organized with a month-by-month timeline.

Right before my wedding, Randy helped me organize a first look and some beach shots with my photographer right before my ceremony. At my venue, this required a car down a mountain and a lot of coordination. I am so grateful that she made this possible for me, I was very worried I wouldn't get all the shots I wanted, but we did!

My ceremony was a dream. I wanted drinks in coconuts at my cocktail hour, Randy made it possible. My reception was a tropical and elegant. Everyone said the wedding and reception was so lovely, the most beautiful wedding, and magical. I am so glad she was there to guide me and in complete control. My mother kept saying, "your wedding is going off without" a hitch!

She made the whole process so relaxing! Randy is really the wedding dream team and so incredibly flexible to work with. I hope to meet with her the next time I am in Costa Rica.

Randy is a Magician!

Randy was a dream to work with from start to finish. I started out have ZERO idea of what my dream wedding would look like and with Randy's help and guidance finished with that dream wedding for me AND my guests. It was obviously the BEST wedding I've ever been to, but all my guests said it was the best wedding they've ever experienced as well. Thank you Randy!
