Luxurious Events

Melissa and her team are incredible, I cannot thank them enough! Our wedding turned out perfectly. Melissa was my lead planner and listened to everything we wanted, but also was able to give her advice and professional/personal opinions which really helped me have a well-rounded experience and overall outcome. For about 2 months of our planning I had a bunch of personal struggles hit which made me become pretty much unresponsive to Melissa. Even though I was not at my best, Melissa continued to give her best by continuing to plan, context vendors, email me, call me, etc. Without her continuing to help me, we would not have had a wedding. I sincerely appreciate everything Melissa and her team did for me and for us and would recommend Luxurious Events in a heartbeat.

Hiring Melissa Betancourt as our wedding planner was without a doubt the best decision! Her warm and bubbly personality combined with her knowledge of Miami vendors, hotels and venues really put us at ease while planning long-distance from New York. The level of care she put into everything was amazing, and her genuine desire to make sure we were happy with the outcome was clear from the start. If I changed my mind or came up with a new concept, she was always flexible and willing to make it happen for us. She used her expertise to advise us in areas to save and where to spend, and was really helpful in prioritizing what was most valuable for our big day. She was very conscious of our budget and presented us with the highest quality vendors that fell within those parameters and they all knocked it out of the park. On our wedding day everything felt completely effortless on our end. I know Melissa put in hard work to ensure that things were running smoothly, and I can’t thank her enough for making me feel stress free while enjoying the best day of our lives. She went above and beyond and I am so grateful to her and her team! <3 <3 <3

Truly the best wedding planning team we could have asked for, especially for couples getting married at Vizcaya.

Words cannot express my gratitude for Melissa and the Luxurious Events staff. My wedding was something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of them. I came to them with a simple idea and they worked their magic and brought it to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again and if you think you can go with just any one THINK AGAIN! Melissa is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always made use feel as though she had everything 100% under control. Trust me, you want this is in a planner!! The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment.

We had the most incredible experience with Melissa and her team at Luxurious Events. Friendly, prompt, organized, flexible, empathetic, knowledgeable, savvy, well connected - everything you need in a planner. We started working with Melissa in March of 2019 for our March 2020 wedding. We had to postpone just 10 days before our 180 person wedding and moved it...twice. Melissa never complained and always jumped in to help and coordinate changes very quickly. She literally had our wedding fully rebooked in less than 48 hours. She never pressured me into choices and gave me multiple options for every vendor. The vendors we used that she recommended were incredibly friendly and professional. We did use her floral company and our jaws were on the floor walking into the tent - incredible value and execution. She was impressive in the planning phase but when the wedding weekend finally came 3/20/22, let me tell you what - we were ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. Her attention to detail, level of production and coordination, and true care for us was something I had never experienced before. it was a large outdoor wedding with lots of weather threats and she stayed cool as could be and handled EVERYTHING. I have never felt more taken care of and I am 100% positive we would not have had the absolute dream wedding we had without her.

We could have not worked with a greater planner in Miami. Melissa and her team are prompt, professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, creative, dedicated, well organized and they hold a relationship with great vendors in Florida. One of the greatest decisions we made for this special moment in our life was working with Luxurious Events. We hope to work with LE again in the future and we recommend all engaged couples looking for a dream wedding experience to work alongside Melissa and her team.

Melissa is the best wedding planner in Miami, in our opinion. We’re from New York City and knew we would need a professional to plan our dream destination wedding. That was Melissa! Our guests were blown away by the flowers and decor her team assembled in our Vizcaya tent wedding—it looked straight out of a fairytale. She has long-standing industry connections and knows how to make everything look like a million bucks for much less. She’s organized, pragmatic, funny, and warm. Because of Covid we had to postpone our wedding three times and she never gave us less than 100% effort in renegotiating our contracts despite only being hired for one wedding. In other words, she goes above and beyond for her couples. We would have been lost without her! Do yourself a favor and hire her! Best wedding decision we made by far. :)

I can’t say enough positive things about Melissa and her entire team. My husband and I live in New York and had our wedding at Vizcaya in Miami in January 2020. In addition to our wedding, her team did our florals (so insanely beautiful) and planned our three hotel events - rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks event with all of our guests, and after party. Being out of town was a concern of mine that ultimately didn’t matter given the support I had from Melissa and her team. I interviewed 13 wedding planners and had an immediate comfort and connection with Melissa. She was my clear top choice from the first minute we spoke (before we met). Her professionalism, communication, flexibility, and organized approach won me over, which was proven over and over again throughout the year we worked together. Throughout the planning process her recommendations and teaming were extremely helpful, and I valued her patience with my indecisiveness and very detailed requests. The entire team values the importance of what they are planning, and I felt like it isn’t just a job to them. Luxurious Events alleviated a tremendous amount of stress from my entire wedding experience – from organization / planning (her monthly check lists were essential) to logistics to random wedding etiquette questions. Melissa’s knowledge of the wedding industry, especially weddings at Vizcaya, is second to none. Before our wedding, we met Melissa and her team twice on trips to Miami that she coordinated to pack in as many wedding to dos as possible – one trip was focused on hotel tours and the other was catering, florals, desert tasting, hair / makeup trials, rentals (chair, tables, chargers, etc.), wedding walk through at Vizcaya, and rehearsal dinner and welcome drink event walkthroughs at the hotel. The support, organization and efficiency during these trips was incredible. As for the day-of-wedding experience, the Luxurious Events team was an organized machine. Melissa and her team were with us from 8 am to 2 am, handling every detail for us, our wedding party, and our families. Their seamless ability to handle last minute changes alleviated stress and pressure from us and our loved ones (rain occurred right before the ceremony AND extra liquor storage at the end of the wedding). Melissa handled it all so we could enjoy our day and everything went seamlessly. Our wedding was perfect, and it couldn’t have been that way without the Luxurious Events team. Our guests and families were equally impressed with Melissa and her team. Her entire team was professional, attentive (our parents and us were never without a drink in their hand), and friendly. We cannot be more thankful to Melissa and the team for making our wedding dreams come to life. You could not be in better hands.

My husband and I are from New York and had our wedding in Miami. From the moment we reached out to Luxurious Events, Melissa, Jen (and each team member we met) were warm and professional and we could tell that we would not be steered wrong by them. They alleviated a tremendous amount of stress from the entire wedding experience - budget, planning, organization, logistics, etc. - which afforded us the opportunity to really enjoy the day. The team nailed the vision we set forth, kept everything within our budget, and communicated quickly and efficiently every time we reached out to them. Before the wedding, the team met with us three times when we went down to Florida - once with the caterer, once at their office, and once at the venue. They treated our wedding with the utmost importance and we always felt supported and that we had an entire team with us as we planned our big day (because we did!). As for the day-of-wedding experience, they had every last detail down. It was exactly the vision we imagined and exceeded our very lofty expectations. Even with the last minute changes (our venue was supposed to be outside but it was rainy and overcast that day so we had to move it inside AND we had an unexpected musical performance), everything went off seamlessly. The wedding was PERFECT. Our guests were equally impressed with all that Jen, Melissa and the team put together. All of the staff at the venue (which included Jen and Melissa) were professional, courteous and friendly. Our guests still talk about the wedding and always bring up how “every detail was thought out”. For that, we could not be more thankful to Melissa, Jen, and the team.

Jen and Melissa were top notch! They made it so much easier to make sure all of our vendors were up to speed, on time, and doing what they needed to do. Their experience also gave us great guidance in our wedding planning! Because of this, we were able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything that came up. Highly recommend, totally worth it!

I am a hard to please, type A personality and I truly feel that Jehane and the Luxurious events team did a great job working with us. Response times were quick and they were really on top of things from the very beginning. I was a destination bride so I was planning my wedding from Alabama. We loved their recommended vendors. And day of Jehane did a fantastic job coordinating everything so much so that guests commented on the flow and timeliness of everything. I also want to point out the florals were freaking stunning and they are done by the Luxurious Events team. I have my bouquet as my screen saver on my phone lol that's just how much I loved it. Incredible work.

I was incredibly lucky to have luxurious events as my DOC. I worked with Melissa and Sylvia and they were both so great and professional. They answered every question i had and recommended excellent vendors i needed last minute. Sylvia was such a team player and worked great with all my vendors to make sure my wedding day went flawless! She went above and beyond to make sure all the small details were taken care of. She was so hands on! I mean, she was even blasting CO2 for our grand entrance!! Sylvia, thank you so much for taking care of all my personal items and for all your help with the coordination. My wedding had A LOT of details and It wouldn’t of been the same with out you. I highly recommend Luxurious Events!

I would recommend Melissa at Luxurious Events for wedding planning over and over if I could! She truly gave us the wedding of my dreams and then some. We didn’t think we would be able to afford a wedding at a particular venue in Miami, but Melissa made it happen and went above and beyond. She understood my vision immediately, and helped with tough decisions. Being a destination wedding, I knew it was important to choose someone I trusted to get the job done. Melissa and her team were so professional and we feel so grateful that we got to work with her on our special day!

Melissa was unbelievable. She was there behind the scenes and out in front helping us with our special day. At a critical moment, before I was about to walk down the isle, she noticed that my boutonniere was falling apart. She SPRINTED across the entire venue and made her way back with a new flower just in time for me to make my grand appearance! Thank you Melissa, you rock!!!

Melissa and her staff were amazing. They were helpful and organized, and made great suggestions during the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they executed everything beautifully, were attentive to our needs and always made sure everything was exactly as we had envisioned it. She handled every minor problem that came up perfectly, and everything went off without a hitch. I cannot imagine a better event than the one that she helped to facilitate. Everything came together amazingly well, and throughout the planning process, every idea that we had was given careful consideration, and Melissa really brought it all together seamlessly. We are so thankful that she was there to rein in our ideas when we got a little overzealous and to give suggestions for how to incorporate everything that we wanted without the event being overwhelming. Our wedding was absolutely breathtaking, it was everything that we had been hoping for and without Melissa and her team I don't think it would've turned out nearly as well.

Melissa was amazing. She was thoughtful and so helpful throughout the entire experience. She was organized and responsive during the planning phase. Her recommendations for everything from flowers to dress alterations were perfect.Her attention to details was great. She organized and dealt with the vendors professionally and successfully. She listened to what we wanted and executed beautifully. During the event, she and her staff were great. There when we needed them but not in the way. I highly highly recommend Luxurious Events.

Our wedding day and entire wedding weekend was perfect because of Melissa & her team! My husband and I are from NY and decided to have a destination wedding down in Key Largo. Being that we were far away from our destination, we sought out a wedding planner. In my first communication with Melissa I knew she was the one for us! She had said, "I would have invited you here for cupcakes and champagne, but you are too far away!" A girl right after my own heart. Melissa was there for us every step of the way. She not only was our wedding planner, she became a friend and someone to lean on during the wedding planning process. Melissa made sure everything was perfect and done the way that we had dreamed it would be. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the wedding industry is bar to none. We felt so comfortable and confident going into our wedding weekend all because of Melissa. We seriously could not have done it without her! If you are looking for someone who will listen to you, give you honest feedback, support you, and make your dream become a reality then look no further. Melissa and her team will ensure everything is perfect and put you at ease. My husband and I are so thankful for Luxurious Events! <3

Our wedding day was perfect and Melissa and her team were amazing! We booked them for partial wedding planning for our destination wedding. My family and my husband's family could not stop raving about the Luxurious Events staff and how accommodating they were. It was great to have them there every step of the way, helping us figure out where we needed what to do/to go/etc. Again, we could not have been happier with how the day turned out and we know that they are BIG reason it went so smoothly. Thank you Melissa and team!

Melissa is the best wedding planner/events coordinator EVER. Just 2 years ago, Melissa came to my sister's rescue-- with only a few months to plan before her wedding she pulled everything together so beautifully. After I got engaged last year, I did not hesitate to contact Melissa to make sure that she could also help me with my wedding! It was the best investment and I trust her opinion completely. My wedding was a dream! Stunning and exactly was I envisioned. She is reliable, attentively, professional, creative, easy going and made my wedding day PERFECT! She's such a joy to work with. We have a lasting relationship and will be sure to use Luxurious Events for all future occasions.

Absolutely in love with Luxurious Events! Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and it was all thanks to Melissa and her fabulous team! She truly made my vision come alive. Every detail was perfect, and her vendor selection was spot on! I didn't have to worry about a thing on the big day. I would absolutely recommend Luxurious Events for any event! ❤️

Luxurious Events was amazing we couldn't have asked for such a professional company to Handel our special day! We love you! Maeva & Matthew Eggen

If you don't want to worry about A THING on your wedding day, I highly suggest Luxurious Events. From the beginning to the very end, the attention to detail and patience was amazing. It's very hard for me to trust others with organizing events and such but Melissa from Luxurious Events made it extremely easy. She always helped and made wonderful suggestions and never gave up. My wedding day went absolutely flawless and I was able to enjoy each moment because of her. I was able to take in the decor and the flowers and welcome all my guests without any worry. If you want to be in the best hands for your wedding day, you MUST go to Luxurious Events!!

Melissa was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone planning their dream wedding. As an "out of town" bride, Melissa made sure that every detail was perfect by constantly communicating and coordinating with vendors (she even attended meetings with vendors and my parents to make sure I had all the information I needed). She made planning a wedding as stress free as possible! She was always a few steps ahead of the planning and anticipated details that never would have crossed my mind. She also had great recommendations for vendors. Overall, Melissa was great to work with and helped us plan an amazing wedding that would not have been possible without her.

Luxurious Events, is by far the best Wedding planning company EVER!!!! Brides Look NO further!!! Melissa, is the best and has a wonderful wonderful team!! Melissa was hired literally three months before my sister wedding, we meet with her for the first time and knew right away we trusted her with my sister vision. We had wonderful meetings with all of her recommended vendors for all aspects of the wedding, cake tastings, drapping, furniture, dance floor decals, silverware nothing is left up in the air. She is so detailed! and she came to every meeting and also helped with anything we needed. Went above and beyond!!! The day of went so smooth, Melissa and her team were flawless and if anything did go wrong we never knew about it =) My family enjoyed the whole day without thinking twice about anything. We can't thank Melissa and her team enough for all the amazing work they did with my sisters wedding and for making it so memorable . We not only had gained a wedding planner for future weddings we gained a friend!!

How do I love thee, let me count the ways! My husband and I got engaged in Boston the summer of 2013 and planned to wed in our hometown of Miami. Planning a wedding from 1,000s of miles away seemed like a daunting task, and a family member recommended reaching out out to Melissa. From there, the rest is history! Melissa and her team took great care to listen to our vision, and did everything possible to bring the vision to life. Melissa is always working, and if she could sense I wasn't 100% happy with something, she would bring other ideas to the table and would not stop until she knew I was content. Her passion for event planning is evident, and that is why we love her! Without Melissa and Luxurious Events, the wedding would not have been possible. She truly assembled the "dream team" for us in every way - from the rentals, to the DJs, the flowers ,food, photography. We are still OOOing and AAAing at how wonderful everything came out. Thanks to Melissa, we enjoyed our wedding to the fullest and would not change one thing about how it turned out. Melissa and Team - we wish you continued success. It was a true pleasure working with you! We are thrilled for the couples in the future who also get to be so lucky!

I cant not say enough amazing things about Luxurious Events! Everything was perfect! Melissa and Monica helped us organize our dream wedding from abroad. It's not easy planning a wedding in Miami from UK. Luxurious events did such a beautiful, enormous work! They had great ideas and was always trying to save us money and had great suggestions on what was needed and what really wasn't! They introduced us to the best vendors who went above and beyond and made our wedding day perfect! Our wedding was 2 weeks ago and all of our guests are still raving it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Weddings can be very stressful with a million different opinions. Melissa and Monica always seemed to calm us do and put everything in perspective, not to mention keeping us on track with making decisions! They also were a key person in making sure every one of our guests knew what was going on as most of our guests came from abroad. Thank you Luxurious Events!!

Melissa and Monica were an absolutel pleasure to work with. From the beginning they kept me organized and in check. They were constantly communicating not only with me but all my vendors. The wedding was executed flawlessly. Melissa never let my glass go empty and the poor girl even helped me change into my second dress (thats not part of the job). Haha. I would absolutely recommend their services. They are with you from beginning to end to ensure perfection.

Melissa and her team are truly the best!!! My husband and I approached Melissa with a challenging proposition; help us plan our wedding with both of us living not only out of Miami, but one of us out of the country. She accepted the challenge with open arms and made the wedding planning process as stress free and as smooth as she possibly could. Melissa’s attention to detail is incredible and she was always on top of things; sending us constant status of various elements of the event, following up on random requests we had, and really providing us with guidance and support as we made our way through the planning. She really understood what we wanted and turned our vision into a beautiful reality. Whenever I would start to panic, she would reassure me that everything would be ok and found solutions to whatever issues came up. On the actual wedding day, I was completely stress free. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and we received so many compliments. I would definitely recommend Melissa to EVERYONE. If we had to rate Melissa from 1 to 10, she would get a 25, seriously. We are very blessed to have had her and her amazing team in charge of our wedding. To Melissa - Thank you so much again and you can count on us telling everyone we know about you. 

Absolutely Amazing. We're from NY and really needed someone that would help guide us through having a fab Miami wedding with only a few actual physical visits. Sofia did all of that plus more. She able to connect us to the right vendors, find a perfect location for our vision etc. Furthermore, when we were unable to come down for our tasting, she along with our photog stepped in to do it and gave us a very detailed description of the food and wine (including pics) and her opinion of what would work best.Our wedding day, was absolutely PERFECT!! I was relaxed and really never concerned with anything except for getting ready because I knew our amazing planner had it all under control. Thanks again!

We couldn't have asked for our wedding to be a more perfect and stress free day. Melissa helped make this day spectacular from the beginning with planning and ideas to the organization and execution the day of. I don't know how we would have done it without her!

Melissa Caceres and the Luxurious Event company was impeccable from start to finish. Her wedding planning services were timely, accurate, professional and flexible all at the same time. Immediate responsiveness to all the intricacies of our wedding planning and all with a smile and calm gesture. We would recommend this company to everyone no matter how small or large your wedding is.

You will NOT be disappointed with Melissa and her team at Luxurious Event. My only regret is that I did not hire her the day I got engaged! They are consummate professionals, highly creative and coordinate each wedding as if it were their own...and I truly mean that; It is obvious that this is their passion. Melissa is warm, genuine and TRUSTWORTHY! I was a stressed out long-distance bride before the universe sent me Melissa and I am forever grateful to have met her. I can't say enough about them except they are the BEST. Thank you Melissa, from the bottom of my heart! Maryellen Pachler Kennell

Melissa was nothing but exceptional throughout the whole planning and wedding. She made sure what we envisioned and planned is what we will see on the wedding day. Every single guest on our wedding were just blown away how everything turned out! They kept saying it was the best wedding they have ever seen, thanks to Melissa! We highly recommend her for her expertise and experience but most of all for her genuine and awesome personality!
