The signature wedding

One aisle, one ocean,
one golden hour.

An oceanfront ceremony on a Palm Beach lawn — 140 guests, a rose and eucalyptus arch, and a sunset we planned around to the minute. This is what a VELA wedding feels like.

Real weddings, told whole

Not just the pretty details —
the whole story.

Anyone can photograph a centerpiece. We show you complete weddings — the venue, the palette, the plan — because that is what you are actually buying.

Reception film

A Long Table Under the Palms

Private estate · Manalapan

Ninety guests at one continuous candlelit table, string lights strung between royal palms, and a dusk sky that behaved exactly as scheduled.

The Paper Before the Party

Garden conservatory · Coral Gables

A suite of handmade cotton paper, sage silk and a terracotta wax seal — the first thing 160 guests touched, and the tone for everything after.

Vows at the Water Line

Waterfront house · Islamorada

A Keys destination weekend for 60 — welcome dinner, sunset vows and a barefoot last dance. Every vendor flew under our wing, not yours.

The process

From first call to last dance —
six stars, one line.

Keep scrolling: the constellation traces itself the way your planning year will — one bright, unmissable step at a time.

01

The first call

Thirty minutes, zero pressure. Your date, your vibe, your budget — real answers on all three.

02

Design & palette

A concept deck made only for you: palette, textures, florals, light. Approved before a dollar moves.

03

Venue & vendors

We shortlist venues you could not find alone and book the vendor team we already trust with our name.

04

Tastings & fittings

The fun part, scheduled around your life — menus, cake, music, paper, all decided without panic.

05

The final month

Timelines to the minute, vendors confirmed twice, family wrangled gently. You sleep. We refresh spreadsheets.

06

The day itself

You are a guest at your own wedding. Whatever goes sideways, you will hear about it in the toasts — years later.

The craft

Four hundred hours,
so your day takes none.

Kind words

Stories, not stars —
though we keep those too.

"A hurricane warning moved our entire welcome dinner indoors — and I found out from the toasts, a year later. That is what you are paying for."

Sarah & Daniel M.
Oceanfront estate · Palm Beach

"We planned a Keys wedding from Chicago in fourteen months. Every email answered same-day. Every vendor better than we could have found ourselves."

Alexis R.
Waterfront house · Islamorada

"Our budget was the thing I feared most. VELA tracked every dollar, pushed back when vendors padded quotes, and we came in under. Under."

Caroline & James T.
Historic club ballroom · West Palm
Venues & friends

Rooms we know
by heart.

Venues where the staff greet us by name — which means load-in times, rain plans and sunset angles we do not have to guess.

Dreaming of somewhere else? We plan anywhere between Palm Beach and Key West — and we scout it in person first.

The planner

Hi, I'm Marisol —
keeper of your calm.

"Fourteen seasons ago I planned my sister's wedding on a Palm Beach lawn with a clipboard and a prayer. The clipboard got better. The promise never changed: you should be the most relaxed person at your own wedding."

Marisol leads every VELA wedding personally — she is the voice on your first call and the last person to leave your reception. That is why the calendar stops at eighteen.
