I started working with Lina Contreras in July/August of 2019 for our Spring 2020 Wedding. Covid had other plans as we are in the homestretch for a Fall 2020 wedding thanks to Lina!! We started out with Steve and lucked up getting Lina, who is ...very knowledgeable, warm, inviting and extremely professional. This is my first time getting married let alone a destination wedding and Lina made sure that I was comfortable with everything. Lina, conducted phone calls with me to go over the gazillion questions I had and never did I feel like she didn't understand. If and when there was a problem, my girl Lina was basically like... It is all about you Kotarah, so whatever I can do, I WILL DO! She even had the pleasure of dealing with groomzilla but he was doing the most and I have to jump back in. All of my family members attending the wedding speaks so highly of Lina, we have adopted her into the family, because she was so professional and easy going. This is my family first time out of the country and Lina was able to provide some ease for their scary selves. When we had to reschedule the wedding due to Covid, I remember my brother sending Lina and email requesting a refund LOL. I was like bruh, it's rescheduled not cancelled! Lina was super sweet when explaining this as well. I am so happy she got some laughs out of it because I wanted to throat punch my brother. It was the onset of covid and I could only imagine how busy Lina was with the many other weddings. Nevertheless, she was STILL ON POINT!! my girl was responding to emails over the weekend. I was like Ummmm no, enjoy the weekend and your family. While she never jeopardized her work ethics, I truly feel blessed to have worked with Lina. It is has been a year and I am so very thankful they didn't switch me with anyone else. If they had done that, I probably would've withdrew. WE are going to the HardRock Hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico and I am super excited. Lina conducted site visits before and during covid and she always provided an update to keep me at ease. I have people canceling because of covid and their jobs mandatory quarantine so they cannot afford to miss dang near a month of work. I think I will have to get married again and again until Lina retires. I am hoping everyone is as honest, truthful and gives their undivided attention to their brides but I KNOW LINA DID!!!! Destination weddings had some great perks too, which I may loose out on some due to guest cancellations. While a destination wedding is a great way to do everything and nothing regarding your wedding. Just relax and go through the website AND ASK FOR LINA! actually I am not sure if you can but hey, it doesn't hurt! I will definitely give my girl a shoutout at our rehearsal dinner and will forever be grateful for her counseling and facilitation skills. Her calm demeanor. Her enthusiasm via email and telephone. Her gratefulness because while I didn't do anything, she always thanked me too. Lina always made sure when our conversations were over, a sense of relief was given. I wish I was a millionaire so I can meet her in person one day, if she allow it. I am sure my family would definitely want a picture with her LOL. They speak her name like they all are best friends with her and I am like YEAH YEAH... but she likes me the most LOL. anyone go with Lina and Destination Weddings. You will not be disappointed!! #KokoandCoop4sho #TheAudacityofBlackLove #Cooper2020 #HRHRM #LinaRocks #DestinationWEdding
