Emmanuel Vega Events

     

I'm not sure where to begin, so I'll start at the very beginning.

We met Emm through a mutual friend back in April 2021 to discuss planning our wedding on March 20th, 2022. My husband and I live in Seattle, so finding a trusted planner in Cabo was important, and scary for us. Having never been married before (like most) I wasn't sure how to start the planning process or even what to plan, especially in another country. Being a gay wedding, it was obviously important to us to have an ally, as well as someone who understood what it took for my husband and I to get to this point in our lives. From that first day, Emm was kind, focused and knew exactly what we wanted even before we realized it. At one point he flat-out asked us, "Are you the type of gays that need rainbows everywhere?" and when we shook our heads no, he sighed in relief and said, "Not that we couldn't have done that, because I can and will do anything you want, but I prefer to approach things a little more elegantly, luxuriously and refined. The statement is you, not the politics." And that's the moment we knew he'd be the one.

Flash forward to the months that followed. I'm a very meticulous planner, and a ball of nerves and stress, and while logistics are fun for me to organize, doing so 2,000 miles north was hard on my nerves. Emm was as responsive as he could be, and his entire team of experts were amazing from the beginning too. If he couldn’t answer something right away, it’s because he’s making someone else’s dream come true, but soon it would be our turn. His recommendations for local photographers, videographers, florists, decorators, etc were AMAZING. The attention to every detail was immaculate. Not once did we feel lead astray on anything, which was huge for us since we had no idea what we were doing.

Now, the main aspect of any wedding is, you guessed it, the budget!! I'll admit, I had sticker shock pretty much the whole time (because my husband is expensive ha!). Emm kept us on track and kept me up to date on everything 100%. If I had questions, he had the answers. If I didn't like the cost of something, he'd do his best to adjust it.

Finally, the big day arrived! Now, my husband and I planned an entire weekend of festivities that included 4 events all located at The Cape. These events included a pool party, rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, and the reception/cocktail hour. That meant extra time with the photographers, videographers, etc. All of it was flawlessly executed. The day-of coordination was spot on, to the point where I don’t even remember stressing about literally anything. The hair and makeup vendor that Emm recommended for the girls made them all feel like brand new girls. Everyone had a blast!

I’ll wrap up with this: our guest list was 80-ish people, many of them have not only been to many weddings, but several of them are known to take lavish vacations, expect a lot, and always have something to complain about. NOT ONE PERSON complained about a thing. Furthermore, everyone raved about how our wedding was the best one they’ve ever been to. Those that saw Emm in the background said that he was kind, professional, and on top of every little detail. Not only did my husband and I feel pride in our wedding, but our guests are still talking about it a month later and will for a long time. We have Emmanuel Vega Events to thank for that. So if you’re still deciding on a wedding planner, trust me … he’s right here.

     

What I appreciated most about Emmanuel was his attention to detail, his experience and his confidence that everything would go as planned on our wedding day. He was extremely professional with us and our vendors. He also made the most of our time together, accomplishing a lot in a few short meetings. My fiancé and I loved all his planning tools and organized communication. Lastly, Emmanuel brought a fun, warm energy that made the planning process more fun. We would recommend him to anyone looking to do a destination wedding in Mexico!

     

Emmanuel was fantastic! Being a planner myself the bar was set high and he blew it away. We live in Canada and booked our wedding with Em for his full planner services and we are so grateful we did. He took care of everything from boat crusies, florals, music, photography to a personalized engraved coconut seating chart! Em was personal and a great communicator. He went out of his way to make our vision for our wedding week come true. He was quick to find us new arrangements for our boat cruise when our first contract fell through and it was even better than we could have imagined. We can't thank him enough for all his hard work!

Love Cole and Suzzie

Emmanuel was fantastic beyond words! We decided to plan a wedding in San Jose del Cabo, but we live pretty far away in Colorado. We didn’t have the time or resources to repeatedly visit local vendors in Cabo, so we had to put our full trust in a planner who lived there.

The end result was absolutely fantastic. Emm handled everything like a pro and we received so many compliments on the wedding. Everything went off without a single hitch :) 10/10, we would highly recommend him.
