Best Money We Spent

Oh my, I’m not even sure where to begin. To say Courtney and Shelby made our craziest dreams come true is both hyperbole, and accurate. My wife and I approached La Luz with a wedding weekend — a luxury, multi-day event with many twists and turns for our guests. We got to treat everyone with many surprises at the Four Seasons in Santa Fe, all brought to life by La Luz — from salsa and margarita icebreaker competitions, to friend swap events, to a reception twist where everyone had to look under their seat; Courtney and Shelby brought all of it to life. But the biggest surprise for us was how close of friends they became. Working with them was like working with your best, most organized, prompt, and ‘we’ll make it happen’ friends. They helped us through every detail, and crisis (like the wedding dress getting stained 5 days before the big day!) I can’t praise this group enough, and am ready to have them plan more than just our wedding!

Amazing service

La Luz made our day completely stress free - Courtney knew the answer to every question and kept all the little details together so that we wouldn't have to. I could not recommend them more for your special day. Courtney also handled all of our vendors and worked out problems with them that we didn't even have to hear about. 10/10 service, professionalism and above all, very fun and kind to work with!

Incredible wedding orchestration

Shelby Wolfe of La Luz Weddings became an indispensable part of our wedding planning. As mother of the groom trying to piece together the vision of my son and his bride, I became overwhelmed with all of the various pieces. Ten months before the wedding, we all met with Shelby via Zoom and discussed potential plans. Shelby’s vendor list was essential in orchestrating the best possible rental and catering companies. Shelby met with the bride at the outdoor venue the month before the ceremony/reception and discussed best plans. Although days before and after the event had perfect weather, the wedding day was filled with intermittent rain, wind, and cold. Even with these interruptions, Shelby expertly produced the most incredible event. The day definitely would not have been exceptional without Shelby.
