Luna Designs LLC

Offers 4 services
Starts at $2,200
Serves Dona Ana, NM

Having a background in hospitality and design for all of my adult life (plus some!) has allowed me to come on this journey of wedding and event planning. I am passionate about helping couples bring their dream wedding to life while telling the story of their love. I know that wedding planning can be overwhelming and daunting, so let me be your advocate, friend, and confidant in this season of your life.

“Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Lauren of Luna Designs LLC, ASAP! I know when I started planning my wedding, I thought I could do it all on my own, however there are so many details I hadn't considered, and with the date getting closer and closer, I began to panic. Thankfully, after contacting and meeting with Lauren, we determined the coordinating services that would be the most beneficial for my wedding...and my sanity! Once Lauren took the lead, all questions were asked and answered with other vendors and everything began to fall into place. I do not know what I would have done without her, a complete professional that took the stress from my hands to her own, and providing all the possible options, recommendations and resources she could offer to let my wedding be the best time ever! The day was just perfect, and during my wedding (and continuing after) I received so many compliments on how wonderfully everything was planned, with the coordinating being amazing! Thank you Lauren, for everything you did to make our day so special, with every memory being treasured, I am forever grateful!!!”

Serves Dona Ana, NM for additional fees

Hello there! My name is JayLynn. I am a romantic at heart, a lover of LOVE and a collector of daydreams. My journey in this one of a kind industry started a decade ago. I have experience as a bridal and wedding gown consultant, in the cosmetic and jewelry industry, and as a bridal model. My versatile background empowers me to be a knowledgeable resource and to add value to my clients experience through all stages of the planning process. I am a licensed, certified and insured event planner with coordination experience across all industries- Weddings have just captured my heart!

“Jaylynn is the most incredible wedding planner and person. Jaylynn truly is a professional, an artist, a visionary, and expert in all things wedding. She was truly the best decision that we made in the wedding planning. If you don't read any further than this, just know that you need to hire her for your wedding. In our early planning phases, we thought we could do it alone. But we quickly became stressed and overwhelmed with so many options and open questions. We interviewed Jaylynn and immediately fell in love with her warm and positive energy. It was an easy decision. Within a few months of working with Jaylynn, we found all of our amazing vendors. Our DJ, photo booth, hairstylist and baker came from Jaylynn. On our own, it would have taken months to find. With Jaylynn, it was a breeze. She introduced us to DJ Miss Haze, who is the most incredible DJ, and Nicole Bendig-Lamb, who made the most delicious cake. She also introduced us to Guiding Mountain Lion Dance, who gave us an unforgettable performance. These vendors were not only great at their craft, but also wonderful and kind people. Leading up to the wedding, Jaylynn resolved so many problems for us. The week of our wedding, a huge snow storm hit Colorado. She sprang into action, helping us to redo our timeline. We had to cancel our rehearsal dinner, so she helped us rehearse the day of the wedding, and got us into top shape in less than thirty minutes. We had an issue with a hairstylist, and she was able to talk to them and help us get a refund in less than 12 hours. The wedding day was perfect. Her team decorated the venue with so much eye for detail. She also designed our wedding website, signage, and much of our decor, and it was exactly what we wanted. The wedding day was perfectly smooth, despite the snow. It was such a joyful, perfect day. Many of my friends and family remarked on how incredible Jaylynn and her team were. To Jaylynn -- thank you again. We love you so much! Thank you for gifting us the most beautiful wedding day. Anyone who has the privilege of working with you is incredibly lucky. -Jessica & Garet”

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

“Luxury Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the team's communication was thorough, thoughtful, and all-encompassing, ensuring we felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Their attention to detail and ability to expertly coordinate all aspects of our special day was truly magical - we felt completely stress-free and able to simply enjoy the experience. For example, lead planner Audrei made sure we were on time for every event, and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my elderly, handicapped mother, making sure she could fully participate in all the festivities despite the challenges of our venue. We are forever grateful to Luxury Affairs for making our wedding day so seamless and special.”

Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them.

Callie Gray Weddings And Events

Offers 3 services

Serves Dona Ana, NM for additional fees

Callie has known that she has wanted to plan events since she was in high school. She has always had a knack for planning and executing events. Callie is a CWEP (Certified Wedding and Event Planner) and possesses a Bachelors of Science in Hospitality Management from the University of North Texas. She has over eight years of experience in the field not only with owning CGWE, but also working for various DFW vendors and venues and has had the honor of interning for celebrity wedding planner, David Tutera, twice on his bridal show circuit.

“I happened upon Callie on instagram in the early stages of wedding planning hoping to find someone that could help me narrow things down so I could actually begin the planning process. From my husband & I's first call with Callie I knew she would be perfect to help us with our wedding day. She is such a calm presence and someone to call on anytime with any questions. She gave me all of her recommendations for vendors and helped me narrow things down right away which was life saving because there are just too many vendors out there to go through alone. Knowing that she knew everyone she was recommending to us and had worked with them in the past gave me such ease and confidence. Now, my wedding day... OMG my wedding day. It was so relaxing. Stressed would not even be anywhere near how I felt. I showed up to the venue and Callie was there, biggest smile, handling all the things. She checked on me multiple times making sure I had everything I needed as well as my whole bridal party. The whole wedding ran so smoothly, everything was on time... I could go on and on. I am so lucky that after this I can now truly call Callie my friend. Truly the best in the business. My wedding would not have been ANYTHING close to what I was without her. We are forever grateful!!!!!”
