Where do I start? Juan Camilo and his team at Caribe Cordial are...family! I don't know how else to describe them.  From my first conversation with Juan Camilo a year before my wedding day, I knew I was in good hands.  I had originally sent a request for info to a competing company and they told me they couldnt even speak with me because my budget was too low (I think I'd said $15k).  Juan Camilo would never say such a thing and promptly set up a call with me and explained everything that they could do for me on my budget. Granted I ended up spending a weeeee bit more than I expected, nothing was ever a surprise! Juan Camilo did his best to cut unnecesssary costs and never added anything that I had not approved. I live in NY so I booked a flight to Cartagena and met up with Juan Camilo along with my sisters.  During that visit, he set up hair/makeup trials, food tastings, venue visits, florists etc etc.  I had such a blast during that visit and I could not believe that we solidified so many things in one trip! The rest of the planning was done over the phone. 

Once the day came, everything I had dreamed of had come true. Juan Camilo was able to understand that I needed something that was traditional but also innovative and a litle rebellious and boy did he deliver! The flowers, the plants, the lighting, the venue.  Everything was to die for.  Every little detail we had discussed over the year had come to life. The staff was at my beck and call and they had such a warm and beautiful nature. They geniunely wanted me to be happy and have everything I needed.  The wait staff was nonstop, the music was on point.  We had 40+ guests flying in from the states and transportation was arranged for all of them from the airport. We had a welcome event the night before the wedding plus a BBQ the day after and THEN Juan Camilo arranged a beautiful bus to take 50+ of us to a resort in Baru.  I just honestly felt like I was in a dream along with the people I love the most.  

Juan Camilo, Mariana, Sarah, Sra. Julia and everyone else- THANK YOU SO MUCH! Everyone continues to say it was the BEST wedding they've been to!
