RVL Event Design and Planning

tire process. she also helped us find last minute vendors when our original ones either fell through or had issues. her support and guidance with the timeline was immeasureable and everyone who came in contact with her kept reiterating how professional and organized she was. Thank you Ilse for helping our day come to life and for being so organized that we could really sit back and immerse ourselves in our guests and festivities.

organized and calm throughout the year of wedding planning, even when our minds were all over the place due to stress and our crazy work schedules. Whether we had questions, needed feedback, or needed help on something that was time sensitive, Ilse always jumped into solution-mode to help us right away. On top of that, Ilse’s talent and attention to detail made the day of our wedding run so smoothly and we don’t have enough words to thank her for that!! She connected us with vendors she has worked with before, and EVERY single one of them was top-notch and the perfect fit for what we wanted for our wedding. She was involved in every detail and helped us find solutions for the unexpected curveballs that came our way (for example, rainy weather on the day of!). Ana, Ilse’s business partner at RVL, was also extremely helpful and kind to us on the day of the wedding and helped everything run smoothly. We are so thankful to Ilse for being by our side throughout the whole wedding planning journey. We could not have chosen a better wedding planner. She has a true gift, is so great at what she does, and we can’t wait to recommend RVL Event Design and Planning to everyone we know who is starting their wedding planning journey!!! —Christina and Danny

y, the reception went without a hitch, and RVL deserves a lot of the credit for this. Thank you!

process. She was more than willing to answer any questions, give opinions and advice far before the wedding- extremely helpful and kind. We met about a month or so before the wedding and went over all my visions and details. She took very detailed notes and created a timeline based off of what we spoke about. She used her years of expertise to make some adjustments that she ran by me first that she thought would work better. When it came to the wedding, she had everything super organized. She made it so I didn’t need to stress about anything. We met a few days before the big day to go over any last minute details and any items (which I had a ton!) that I wanted her to set up for me. She took it from there from ensuring all the vendors were correctly setting up to putting together my last minute favors and escort cards. Everything was perfect! During the event she was very professional and made sure everything was running according to the timeline. She managed to get everyone in order while always maintaining a smile. Which is tough when you have so many different personalities at once. Ana is truly a master at her craft. So many of my family and friends came up to me praising Ana for how great she was! Needless to say, I would highly recommend Ana! 5 stars ⭐️

I worked full time and went to school. As time quickly passed by, I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to do it all myself, so we started asking family and friends if they knew any wedding planners. We were are referred Ana with RVL events by a work friend of my mom’s. We reached out to Ana and she was immediately attentive. We scheduled a meeting with her within the week and we immediately clicked in the meeting. It was very important for me that we clicked with the wedding planner because we had a specific image yet at the same time I am very simple. We contracted with RVL for the full wedding planning experience and we are so glad that we did. She assisted with EVERYTHING up until the most minor detail. Ana works with a great connection of vendors, all of whom we clicked with. Ana provided me with a detailed outline during every step of the way. She was available for phone conversations whenever I had even the smallest question. She took care of all the vendor communications which was very helpful. Ana created a timeline that was awesome! She was there with us at every appointment. The closer we got to the date, the more naturally stressed I got, and she really helped ease the process. The big day came, and I was getting ready. She was front and center at the venue since early in the morning, coordinating all the details with the caterer, florist, dj. We were getting some sporadic rain, and she was there constantly sending us reports, assuring us that everything was going to be fine. This was extra special given that my mom was freaking out. I made a conscious decision not to stress out as much because I knew I was definitely in good hands with Ana and the Squad! Due to the weather and timing, we were unable to do the ceremony outside. On a bright note, the solution to the weather was doing the ceremony inside in the mansion’s living room area, and I can’t express how beautiful and cozy it was. It was so unexpected but so beautiful, and it was pulled off to perfection. Everything happened for a reason. Ana and Ilse were so helpful and made everything move smoothly. I met Ana’s biz partner the day of, Ilse, and they both truly made me feel like a princess. Everything turned out just beautiful. We received many compliments from family and friends about how beautiful and simple the wedding was. Some friends said it looked like it was a whimsical fairytale….which is the exact feel that we wanted. We had such an amazing time and we are extremely grateful with got to work with and meet such a spectacular team of people!!! We TOTALLY recommend working with Ana and RVL EVENTS

de me feel 100% confident! I will definitely use her again for any other major event I will have in the future and recommend her to all my newly engaged friends! Wedding 4/29/2016 Talisa

went as planned, but it passed by so quickly, I didn’t have a chance to check everything out. It seems you did that for us! Everyone had very positive comments on the event. It was a beautiful wedding and reception. Thank you again, It was a pleasure meeting you. Wish you success in the future, which should be no problem.

usband and I on track for our big day. She took the reigns on our rehearsal, and guided me through every step of the decision making process, from introducing different vendors, to setting up and attending my appointments. Ilse dealt with the vendors herself and negotiated prices so that we could have the wedding of our dreams and still be within our budget. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient and attentive to every single detail. She had a close relationship with the vendors and made sure that we were matched with the perfect one. Ilse is the dream wedding planning partner, she's fun, outgoing, and someone you will call a friend, even after your wedding! Wedding 9/20/2016 Shannon

At the rehearsal when everyone was excited and just showing up she kept everything running smoothly without being pushy. The day of the wedding, she went back and forth between my room and the groom's room to make sure we were all still doing ok. She personally picked up and dropped off all of my reception extras out of my room and made sure they got to the proper places. After the ceremony was over, I was blown away with how perfect the welcome table was set up and all of our extras, such as picture frames, etc. Through the entire reception she was always just close enough to where if I needed anything at all she was right there on it. Even when we were running a few minutes behind schedule she never made me feel rushed or stressed. She made us feel like we were on our time and it was totally up to us with what we wanted to do. At the end of the reception, she made sure our moms got everything that I had asked for them to hold onto for us, such as cards, cake top, etc. We actually had a groomsman issue that my groom had to deal with earlier in the day, but not once did Ana let me know that there was any issues at all. She wanted me to be completely relaxed and calm and I was!! She was amazing!! I really can't thank her enough. A lot of things about wedding planning will not go as planned, but sometimes it works out even better than you expected. Ana exceeded my expectations and she is awesome! I would highly recommend her to anyone! :) Wedding 4/7/2016 Luisa

Ana from RVL events was our wedding planner. Right from the beginning Ana was a pleasure to work with. She is prompt, friendly, creative, knowledgeable, super on top of things, etc. RVL Events recommended the best and most reputable vendors. Our wedding planning and wedding day was perfect! There were no hiccups- and if there were, I never found about it as Ana took care of every little detail. I never felt stressed throughout the process like we hear so many brides do, and its all because of RVL Events! Our guests are still talking about our wedding, it was flawless and everything we dreamed about and more! Other than marrying my husband, the best wedding decision I made was hiring RVL events! Do not look into any other planners, hire them today and thank me later! Wedding 1/28/17

lings we shared that night. I didn't freak out over music, food, pictures, family meet and greets, or even the glow sticks that did not turn on during the "hora loca" - You know why I was able to just remember the magical moments? Because I had fairy godmothers just like Cinderella!!! I had Sara and Ilse as my fairies for the night, and they made everything PERFECT so we could enjoy what turned out to be the best party we have ever had. Sara helped us throughout a loooong year of planning, screaming, fittings, location hunts, table linens, colors, flowers, etc... And without her I would have run away for the hills. We can't recommend these girls enough. If you want a magical wedding you need to have magical human beings like the fairies at RVL. They make you feel like a princess and they are always there for you. We will be forever grateful. Wedding 9/24/16 Ilaria

ifferent state, we could only visit twice and she was very flexible on meeting us and very prepared when she showed up. As the date got closer, she handled all of my frantic emails with a calm attitude and did all of vendor confirmations/delivery timelines for us. The day of the wedding was obviously one of the greatest days of my life, but it could not have gone as smoothly as it did without Ilse and her assistant. They both were so calm and professional and always checked on me and my husband to see if we needed anything. If there were any problems, I didn't hear about them. After the ceremony, we had to trek around the site for sunset pictures (Seriously gorgeous, but tiring nonetheless) and they both brought us drinks and no huge plates of appetizers. I wouldn't have gotten to eat if not for that! She even got us a bottle of champagne as a gift! I knew I need a wedding planner for this event, but I had no idea how great Ilse and RVL would be. I would recommend them 100 times over! Wedding 3/20/17

e not been able to stop talking about our wedding. We had no idea a wedding could be as amazing as it was-we both agree-it was the best day of our lives! We could not have done it without you and your wonderful team. It was a special day, leaving us with memories that we will always treasure. My dream wedding wouldn’t have happened without you. You are so professional, energetic, and I had a blast working with you. From the very beginning of planning to the very end, you were always there with great advice. You understood my busy schedule and made the wedding planning process easy. I don't know how anyone plans a wedding without a coordinator!!! I stress free because I knew you had everything under control and every detail covered. Our guests also had a blast-many saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to! The cruz building, the food, the incredible flowers, and omg the CAKE! everything was perfect! We kept looking around and were in awe at how warm & beautiful everything looked! Thank you once again for coordinating my crazy family :) & organizing everyone for the procession. The ceremony was magical. I also wanted to let you know your staff was excellent-so attentive and kind-throughout the whole day. Ana you were so kind to box 📦 up all of our personal items (pictures, gifts, etc) & flowers and brought them to our limousine. We and our guests are still beaming (and will for a long time) on what an amazing wedding it was. We had guests as far as Lithuania, Chicago , Texas, El Salvador-all raving about the food, setting-everything! Thank you again, Linda & Jose

e booked a great set of vendors, but our event would not have come together the way it did without Ilse and her team helping us throughout the process. Even before their services officially started Ilse provided insight, and recommendations for vendors that we should consider. She also reviewed all the details, did a walk-through with other vendors, helped us arrange the transportation, created a timeline, and coordinated the rehearsal. We were extremely lucky to find Ilse and have her help us with everything. Thank you, Ilse and RVL team!

L is a direct result of our experience with our personal coordinator, Sara Velasquez. Her detail-oriented nature, due diligence, professionalism, organizational skills, flexibility, vendor contacts, ability to handle concerns/issues discreetly, attentiveness to the bride & groom, and the ideas/advice she provided were second-to-none. I give Sara Velasquez my highest recommendation. Without Sara, our wedding would not have been the memorable, joyous occasion that it was.

e only had 6 months to plan our special day. Ilse was very professional and gave very good advice during the organizational period. She would even remember details that I had mentioned weeks before such as certain flowers I was not too fond of :) We are also very grateful for Ilse's ability to troubleshoot the day of our wedding. She handled a threat of rain for our outdoor wedding and talking about it to a very emotional bride. She also handled an additional emergency - our cake falling before the ceremony. And even after the incident, the guests had cake and we have pictures with a cake for our wedding album. These details made Ilse really stand out in her job and we completely recommend her. She made our special day run as smooth as possible and great memories for us.

rything to be perfect for my wife and was on location double checking it all. Ana kept telling me to go relax and it would be all taken care of. When I got back to the venue everything was perfect. Most importantly, my wife loved it, and the extra thought Ana put into the design aspect. The whole night ran smoothly and she fixed any quirks in the evening before the guests noticed. I highly recommend a wedding coordinator and I recommend using Ana even more. David the Groom.

ng very memorable . She was very sincere and patient too, which are rare qualities to find, especially in Miami. Thank you Sara for making the best day of my life even more special and memorable!
