A CHARMING GUEST COUNT
But a Grand Affair..
Hi, I’m Leslie!
Destination Wedding Planner and Luxury Travel Designer
What sets me apart from other travel professionals?
I’ve been in your shoes! When I planned my own destination wedding to Riviera Maya back in 2015, I experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to manage both wedding planning details and travel logistics.
While a destination wedding still remains one of the best choices I ever made, I remember wishing I had someone else to handle guest booking payments and questions, organize transportation, and bring my wedding vision to life — while I enjoyed my time being a bride.
And that’s exactly what I’m here to do for you.
Dreaming of a sophisticated and unique Elopement or Boutique Destination Wedding in Mexico
but feeling overwhelmed by resort choices, hidden costs, confusing venue requirements, and no time to plan your wedding?
I've got you covered!
