Luna Designs LLC

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”

Serenity Weddings

Serves Dona Ana, NM for additional fees

I founded Serenity Weddings with one core belief : You should feel like the guest of honor at your wedding, and be present to enjoy this moment with all of your loved ones. I believe that each wedding is a unique expression of your love, and that no two weddings should feel the same. My goal is to help you create your dream wedding, the one where your guests will leave raving about how beautiful and special it was, and how it told your individual love story. Whether you're looking for a day-of or month-of coordinator, a partial planner, or a stylist, I am here in your corner to help bring all of your dreams to life.

“We hired Serenity Weddings for our wedding last year, and it was the best decision we made for the day. We opted for the month-of package. We knew that we wanted to design our wedding ourselves to make it unique to our love story, but that we didn't have time the month of the wedding to add all of the last minute coordinating between the vendors to our workload. Desiree met with us mid-planning process to do a walk-through of the venue and get an idea of what we had planned for our day. She gave tons of helpful tips and truly made sure that she understood our vision. The month of the wedding she coordinated between all the vendors to make sure that everything was covered. Thank goodness! Turns out we forgot to order bathrooms since we were at a house, even though we didn't want people going into the home. She saved the day and made sure that we got an extra generator from the rental company to supply the power. On the day of the wedding she arrived ahead of the first vendor and made sure that everything was perfect. And if it wasn't, we never knew! All of our family and friends got to enjoy our wedding with us, without having to worry about how everything was going, all thanks to Serenity Weddings. I also worked with Desiree for my bridal styling, choosing the Final Touches package. Finding my dress was easy, but the endless choices for everything else was daunting. She helped me choose the perfect hairstyle and makeup combo for my enchanted look, and the accessories she chose were just the right touch.”

Hello my name is Kourtney ( Founder and owner of Firefly events) I am from Colorado. I am very hard working and dedicated to everything I do with passion and care. I have always been the party planner and organizer in my life. I decided to take on event planning professionally two years ago and have done over 100 events in this time. I have recently decided to branch off and open my own company to help my clients with dreams through my professional view and experience. Overall the care and compassion I believe my clients deserve.

“Firefly Events Colorado was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive to our needs and made sure every detail was taken care of. Their communication style was exceptional - they were always responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. The quality of their work and the value they provided was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. They did so much more than what was required, like replacing our lost top layer of cake, and our reception was absolutely stunning as a result. We couldn't have asked for better wedding planners, and we are so grateful to Firefly Events Colorado for making our special day truly unforgettable. My one piece of advice is to unravel the curtain lights and other lights in an orderly fashion so that other brides don’t have to have this in the end. Picture provided.”

We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

“Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). 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 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!!!!!”
