Luna Designs LLC

Starts at $2,200
Serves La Mesa, 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!!!”

We welcome every couple with enthusiasm, joy and professionalism. We love creating a wedding that’s uniquely yours! We plan and design weddings throughout Colorado, Northern California, Oregon, and New Mexico. Our design services are unparalleled, and our devotion to you is wholehearted and personal!

“Niamh is an absolute joy to work with. She made every part of the planning process so much easier. Planning a wedding from 2,000 miles away isn't easy but any question I had she had a quick answer for or made sure she asked someone if she didn't have an answer for me. I never worried about communication because she was on the ball the whole time. She made sure there was no stress at all during my wedding day and I was able to be present and enjoy it the entire time. I even made a comment like "shouldn't I be more stressed about something?" but there was nothing to be stressed about with Niamh taking care of everything. She took every vision I had for the day and brought it to life. On top of her impeccable abilities at wedding planning she is also the kindest, sweetest person. Every meeting we had felt like talking to a friend. She made me feel comfortable and secure and I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with! Niamh was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding.”

We are a mother-daughter duo based out of Roswell, NM and travel state-wide + beyond. Our team provides wedding day coordination, custom + bespoke signage and florals, styling and design services, and rentals! We are currently available for bookings for 2024-2025. Get in touch with us to find out more!

“We had never heard of a “day of coordinator” before our wedding. Initially we wondered if we needed one because we were planning a small and short, backyard wedding with less than 25 family members. Luna y Sol delivered that and more! They made our vision an absolute reality. In the weeks leading up to our big day, they got to know every last detail of our dream wedding, our vendors, decor, schedule, details, design, hopes, and dreams. They studied our timeline and helped us re-work it so that we could maximize our time spent with our guests. They helped set up and run our rehearsal dinner for us which was a big load off of us the day before our wedding! On the day of the wedding every detail was accounted for. We’ll never forget walking down the aisle and seeing our backyard for the first time with everything set up! We loved walking around and seeing all of the sweet touches Luna y Sol curated with our decorations and some of their own. Chris did the most beautiful calligraphy for our place cards and favors sign. Our parents and families were able to help us get ready without the stress and burden of setting up and running the show, too. We look back on our wedding with the happiest and sweetest of memories because everything was coordinated so well. We absolutely needed and valued our day of coordination even for a small backyard wedding. We strongly recommend collaborating with Luna y Sol to make sure all of the hard work you have put into planning your wedding pays off with the most perfect day.”

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”

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.”

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!!!!!”
