We used this company for our CHIVA NIGHT. We did a welcome activity for our guests the first night everyone got there... I would NOT recommend this company. We had a private Chiva... their bus was broken and we lost a lot of time waiting until this company sent another chiva. It was quiet ridiculous. Obviously, everyone was having a great time and thought this was hysterical (not so much for me) but it was funny and we got some great pictures of our guests pushing the chiva for it to start.

While it was funny for my guests it was certainly not funny for me. I was embarrassed and stressed out. And they did not seem like they gave a $*it about it. Anyway... a great activity to do... but definitely go with another company!

Caribe Cordial Weddings

Bodas Caribe Cordial was our wedding planners. The company is run by Juan Camilo and Daniela. Also, Vanessa is part of their team and helps them with everything they have going on. Both Juan Camilo and Daniela were great. And part of the reason our wedding weekend was so amazing is b/c of all the hard work they put into our wedding. They really do have great ideas and helped with negotiating better deals with vendors, etc. They know the business inside out and really know what they are doing. Both JC and Daniela are very approachable and b/c they are doing what they love to do, they were very passionate about helping plan our perfect day!

The only reason why I am giving my wedding planners 4 stars is b/c I feel that I did not get the attention I should have gotten once I got to Cartagena. I did all the planning via online with JC and Daniela... however; once I got to Cartagena is was mainly Vanessa (their assistant) who was the most helpful and was with us the whole time. While I understand that my wedding was "small", and not to sound too "bridezilla" but it should have been the #1 priority of the week. Instead, they also were attending to other couples who were there visiting & planning future weddings. My advice and constructive criticism to Daniela & JC is not to forget that costumer service is beyond important ... and while the did have everything under control... it is a little stressful on the couple getting married to not see them in everything going on.

If I had to do it all over again... I will still hire Bodas Caribe Cordial. They did an amazing job and everything was perfect... just don't forget to make sure you give your 150% to the wedding couple during that week... everyone else, can wait! :)
