I recently got married at Banyan Tree Mayakoba in May. Being the control type, I thought I could plan every aspect of my wedding without a problem from NYC.  I pretty much did up until 4 months before my wedding I realized I could certainly use some help, especially with the execution of everything.  About 2 weeks before my site visit in February when I had scheduled meetings with all my vendors to finalize details, I hired Michelle from My Perfect Wedding to be my wedding planner. It was the BEST decision and investment that was made during my wedding planning process. While I had already hired my vendors, and worked through a lot of the details before bringing Michelle on board (if you aren't the control type like me, Michelle of course works with all the vendors and can take care of that for you), Michelle brought forth her vision on what was a reality vs. what "would be nice".  She has great intuition and knows if you are truly happy, and has excellent ideas for how to make improvements.  She is extremely detail oriented, and knows how to manage the vendors and hotel management to ensure you get what you want.

Planning from NYC, you can imagine the number of emails back and forth to plan everything from so far away. Michelle was SO responsive to all emails from myself, and my parents with very detailed responses, pictures if needed, etc.  While I am an extremely detail oriented, I thought I had thought of everything, until Michelle would make suggestions with very clever cute ideas that only made my wedding that much better.

I had a very involved wedding weekend from welcome drinks, to the rehearsal dinner, to a beach party, and finally my wedding. Each event had a ton of details, and I am confident that half of the details would not have been properly executed if I didn't have Michelle as my wedding planner. I highly recommend My Perfect Wedding and Michelle to be your wedding planner of choice. She is a pleasure to work with, and will make your stresses go away. 

My only con would be that the day of Michelle could have used some additional help managing the flow of the wedding day. One person is not enough to make sure everything is happening as it should.
