Our Clients

I must mention that I was not the easiest client to work with. I was to be wed in Austin, Texas but resided in San Antonio, Texas. I not only lived in a different city, but I was a third year law student with an extremely demanding schedule. I know for a fact that I could not have pulled off my dream wedding without Carmela.

As a friend, Carmela is genuine and sincere. Our bride/coordinator relationship definitely stayed professional; but I can honestly say that she turned into a great friend. She is fun and fabulous.

As a travel agent, she is just amazing! Our honeymoon was easy-going and trouble-free. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, was taken care of by Carmela. The Royal Hideaway was the perfect honeymoon spot. We have recommended this hot spot to many of our friends.

As a wedding coordinator, she is organized, knowledgeable, and easily accessible. Carmela took the time to learn about me and tailor her ideas to my needs and wants. Her attention to detail is the best you’ve ever seen!

It is Simple – Carmela is the absolute best!
