“Costa Rica was the easy choice for us to have our wedding and Samantha was the perfect choice to plan it. We were initially considering having our wedding at the resort where we were staying, but felt it lacked the flexibility, personal touch and Costa Rican authenticity that was very important to us. Samantha nailed everything, from the perfect venue, elegant floral arrangements and decor to the incredible photographer and wonderful addition of the local guitar duo. Samantha was always attentive to our wishes, calm and professional, she thought of every detail and her follow-up was outstanding. The end result far exceeded our expectations; it truly was the wedding of our dreams.” - Jessica & Mike

Behind the scenes, Samantha kept my head on straight by assisting the entire weekend. She did it all, allowing us to enjoy our time in Costa Rica. The day itself seemed straight out of the pages of a magazine due to her flawless taste and recommendations. The flowers were stunning, the cake delicious, there wasn’t one element she missed.
I am not sure how she does it, but the end result was perfection. With Samantha seeing to the details, I was able to sit back and relax with my friends and family truly enjoying an amazing experience.” - Rachanna & Billy
