Love Notes from our couples

Nothing brings us more joy than seeing our couples’ dream weddings come to life. Their stories are a testament to the love, care and dedication our team brings to every celebration.

    “When we chose Guatemala for our wedding, we knew we needed someone who spoke the language and understood the area. A friend recommended Silke, and it was the best decision we made! She’s responsive, professional, and intuitive—she really understood my style and helped bring everything to life beautifully.”

    “Silke was absolutely incredible. She made everything extremely easy to navigate and kept us on track with budget/timeline. She truly thought of every detail — from our rehearsal dinner, to the wedding day/night, to the day after activity — she made sure every single detail was exactly what we hoped for. Silke's spirit is also extremely positive and getting to know her as we went through the planning process was such a joy. She is professional,  intentional, and caring and we are so happy with every element of working with her.”

    “We are so thankful to Bride & Groom for helping us plan the perfect wedding. In the early stages, Silke took the time to understand our vision and inspiration for the event. Then, throughout the process, Silke paired us with the perfect vendors to meet our wishes and budget. Silke handled all the communications and payments with the vendors, which made the process very simple and straightforward for us. Leading up to the wedding and on the day of, Silke and her team took the time to make sure that every detail was in order and that the event ran completely smoothly. The entire time, we were super impressed with Silke's organization and communication. We highly recommend planning a destination wedding in Antigua, and even more highly recommend asking Silke to help you plan it - your event will surely be beautiful and memorable.”

    Alexa & Aaron - Dallas, USA

    “Silke is the wedding planner dreams are made of! From the very beginning of our 7 month journey, Silke was extremely organized and communicative. Her extensive experience shows in her vendor relationships and I loved everyone we ended up working with (all her recommendations). She set clear expectations from the beginning and we even came in $2000 under budget! My husband and I had never been to Antigua before our wedding and planned everything via Silke. Our wedding weekend was beyond anything we could have hoped for and we and our guests had the most magical time celebrating, creating memories, and enjoying a new place together. I would recommend Silke every single time and it was a true pleasure and joy working with her!”

    “During our engagement, the #1 question I got was - are you stressed about wedding planning? And honestly, not a single day felt stressful - which was such a blessing. We were able to enjoy our engagement stress-free, thanks to the incredible support from Bride & Groom Guatemala. We not only got the wedding of our dreams, but also gained a friendship that we’ll cherish forever. Silke was there every step of the way, from tastings to answering my endless questions with such grace.
    I’m so thankful to have met you, Silke, and we’ll always be grateful for everything you’ve done for us.
    A special thank you to all our amazing vendors — who without Silke we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet and work with!”

    “We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner than Silke. She went above and beyond to ensure a seamless process of planning an international wedding from start to finish. Silke is trustworthy, transparent, well connected, and extremely responsive. Silke is a gem in the world of wedding planning. She genuinely cared about us as individuals and also our desires as a couple. Our wedding was full of personal touches that really represented us and were special for our celebration. Silke delivered exceptional service, strong communication, and really made this experience about as stress-free as wedding planning can be. It was invaluable to have Silke's assistance, calm demeanor, and proactive approach throughout the planning process. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a smooth and memorable wedding planning journey in Antigua!”
