Jessyca Perez Canal: Founder
Hi, I’m Jessyca, I am a 10-year marketing and economics specialist turned wedding planner, podcaster and mom of twins. I have helped many couples realize their wedding dreams and have helped them create countless memories that will last a lifetime. After years of experience in planning events for the Corporate World, I have taken my skills in timeline management, design work and my eye for detail to bring together a team of individuals who are committed to delivering excellence no matter how grand or intimate the occasion.
It is no secret how much I love weddings and I am not ashamed to say I cry almost every time! My blood type is champagne and my pulse runs off music. As a Miami native, parties are my jam. Growing up, I was known for always bringing the FUN energy into every room and I am blessed to say that I have been able to turn that light hearted energy into a successful business. Life was simple when it was just me and my dog, Cosita, traveling, and planning parties, but every night I would pray to expand my little family and I was blessed with Boy/Girl Twins!
xoxo, Jess
Sara Delgado: Lead Planner
Hi! I’m Sara, an event planner with a degree in Event Management from Florida International University and a passion for creating meaningful, beautiful gatherings.
My love for events began at a young age, inspired by the joy of family celebrations and the connections they create. I’m especially drawn to the design and décor side of planning, where my creativity comes to life and where I feel most in my element.
Originally from Portugal, I carry with me a deep love for nature and the calming rhythm of the sea, my personal reset button. Now based in Miami, I spend my time bringing visions to life through thoughtful details. And when I’m not doing that, I’m likely out on an adventure with my two dogs, my loyal companions, and little soul mirrors.
Every event I touch has a little glitter, a lot of heart, and a whole lot of “let’s make magic happen.”
xoxo, Sara

Thai-Lee Alverio: LEAD PLANNER
Hi, I’m Thai-Lee and have been a Certified Wedding Planner since 2018. My love for weddings began as a teenager while growing up in a family with a DJ business. I often helped my parents run the business and assist with crowd engagement. Through those experiences, I developed a passion for events and naturally became the family’s go-to event planner.
My experience has helped me understand the value of budgeting, organization, and attention to detail, which has greatly assisted me in my role in event management.
Becoming a wedding planner is where I have truly seen my passion come to life. I love the planning process, all things glam, and the intricate details that make each event unique. Bringing a couple’s vision to life and creating memorable celebrations is what I enjoy most about the events I help create.
