Bekah, the owner of Finer Side, was our wedding planner, and I truly cannot recommend her enough.
I met Bekah through a Facebook group while planning our destination wedding at Atelier Playa Mujeres. When I first reached out to her, I specifically told her I probably *wasn't* looking to hire a wedding planner because I was worried about the added cost. I really just wanted to pick her brain about her own experience getting married at Atelier and offered to pay her for her time. After one 30-minute conversation, I had completely changed my mind and knew I wanted (nay - needed) to hire her.
Bekah didn't try to sell me at all. It was actually the opposite. I could immediately sense how genuinely passionate she is about what she does, how knowledgeable she was, and—most importantly—that she truly had her couples' best interests at heart. Looking back, hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her services were worth EVERY penny.
Wedding planning can be stressful, especially when you're planning a destination wedding, but Bekah made the entire process so much more manageable and enjoyable. I never once doubted that something would get taken care of. She was incredibly communicative, kept me informed without overwhelming me, made sure I stayed on track, and was always there when I had a question or needed advice. She was also fantastic at sourcing vendors, comparing options, advocating for us, and making sure we were getting the best value possible. I always felt like she cared about our budget as if it were her own.
I already thought Bekah was amazing throughout the planning process, but somehow she impressed me even more during our wedding weekend. I think I told her "you saved my life" multiple times throughout the wedding day.
She was incredibly organized, calm, proactive, and present from beginning to end. Even in the middle of all the inevitable wedding-day chaos, she still made a point to check on *me*—making sure I had what I needed, that I was enjoying myself, and that I wasn't worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. There were issues that came up throughout the day, from misspelled signage to weather concerns and other last-minute hiccups, and I didn't even know about most of them until other people told me the next day. Bekah had handled all of them, and done so with such authority and poise that I never knew that things were going any way but perfect.
That, to me, is what makes her so exceptional. She doesn't just help you plan a beautiful wedding—she takes ownership of the details so that when the day finally arrives, you can actually be present and enjoy it. I never felt like I needed to manage anything, check on anyone, or solve a problem. I got to be a bride, enjoy every moment with my husband, our family, and our friends, and trust that Bekah had everything else covered.
If you're on the fence about whether hiring a wedding planner is worth it, take it from someone who originally thought she didn't need one: HIRE BEKAH. I would make that decision again a hundred times over. She genuinely cares about her couples, is exceptional at what she does, and gave us something that is hard to put a price on—the ability to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying about everything happening behind the scenes.
Bekah, thank you for taking such incredible care of us and for playing such a huge role in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. We are so grateful for you! ❤️
Working with Bekah was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning journey. She took the time to really listen to our vision, thoughtfully shared her professional opinions, and always made sure our preferences stayed at the center. It was clear that she genuinely wanted the very best for us and for our wedding day.
Throughout the planning process, Bekah was consistently organized, responsive, and so easy to work with. She helped me stay on top of tasks, but also took away the stress of communicating with all the vendors. I'm not sure what I would have done without her.
She made our day so perfect. It flowed so well. The best part was that she helped out with all the small details and set up, so my family or I didn't have to worry. Bekah is so amazing at what she does, and I would highly recommend her for any event you have!
