We worked with Siente Bodas and our planner, Luis, from day one to organize our destination wedding in Cartagena, and the experience couldn't have been better. Planning a wedding from afar seemed daunting, but Luis made the entire process incredibly smooth and easy. He was involved with us well in advance of the date and took care of absolutely all the coordination with vendors, which made everything surprisingly stress-free.

Luis' taste is truly impeccable. Our wedding was beautifully decorated, and every event flowed naturally thanks to his careful attention to every detail. Throughout the planning process, communication was constant and very thorough, which gave us complete peace of mind. The food selection and preparation were absolutely delicious and perfectly suited our preferences.
We were also very impressed with the way Siente Bodas organized the additional events, such as the welcome gathering before the big day and the beach day after. They even assigned staff to support those events, which was an unexpected and much appreciated detail.
The entire Siente Bodas team was friendly, professional, and always on top of everything. All of our guests were delighted with the experience, and many told us that it completely exceeded their expectations. In short, Luis and the entire Siente Bodas team went above and beyond to help us make our dream wedding a reality, and we are immensely grateful for their support and expertise. We recommend them with our eyes closed!

“My husband and I got married in Cartagena, Colombia, in 2022, just after the pandemic. Planning a destination wedding amid pandemic restrictions from Hamilton, Canada, was not easy, but Luis and his team at Siente Bodas made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. Luis was immediately available, offered us various vendor options, and guided us to stay within our budget. On the wedding day, we didn't stress because Luis and his team took care of every detail. I am so grateful that we trusted Luis, because he made our vision a reality and it was a magical day that we will never forget.""

“It’s difficult to put into words the incredible work that Luis and his team did and how we owe them our dream wedding, but we’ll do our best to express it.
To give a little context, we were living more than 1,600 kilometers away in the United States while planning this wedding with Luis’s help in Cartagena, Colombia. When I say that he and his team took care of everything, I mean absolutely everything.

We gave him a budget and he worked within that budget, never pressuring us to spend more money, never showing us things that couldn't be achieved with that budget, and when we found something we wanted, he always found a way to make it happen, even if it meant rearranging some things.
We never felt like we had to make sacrifices when planning the wedding, although realistically I'm sure we did make some, but working with Luis never made it feel that way. When we were very specific about something, he always made it happen; and when there were decisions we weren't sure about, he offered his advice and guidance, and he was never wrong.
I can happily say that there were many things we gave him creative freedom with, and he made them absolutely perfect. Seeing how all those months of planning and hard work by him and his team came together on our wedding day was simply incredible. Our wedding was perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing. He thought of everything, from the biggest to the smallest details, without overlooking anything.
To this day, years later, our friends and family still talk about our wedding and say it was one of the best they've ever attended. It's even become an inside joke among our group of friends that if we could have Luis and his team organize every event in our lives, we would do so without hesitation.
I can honestly say that we enjoyed every part of the wedding planning process and, of course, the big day itself. We really didn't experience any stress, which I think is very rare and says a lot about his professionalism. We love you, Luis!

“It’s been over a year since our dream wedding, and even today all our friends and family are still talking about how spectacular it was! All thanks to the incredible work of Luis and his team.
Luis made our event a perfect experience, from planning to execution. From the first time we spoke with him, he made us feel very comfortable. Especially since he is local, he understood exactly what we wanted, and he exceeded all our expectations!”"
Margaret & Loga
“We were a little nervous about organizing our wedding from the United States, but Luis and his team gave us a lot of confidence. Luis was always available to answer our questions, and we met regularly. When we finally got to see the venue and decorations in person the week before the wedding, everything looked perfect. All of our family and friends had an incredible time. We would recommend Siente Bodas without reservation!”
Tricia & Mike
“From the moment we had our first meetings with Luis and his team, we knew how careful he was with his work and the details. We loved the whole process and also the obstacles we had to overcome at the end of the day because we had Luis to help us. He guided us, made recommendations, and helped us from the beginning of the process with the dates until the end of our wedding. It was a pleasure to work with Valeria, as well as all the other vendors we hired for that special day, because they already knew Luis and knew how he wanted things done. His vision was so similar to ours that he is someone we would want to have again if we were to renew our vows.”
Scarlet & Drew
“We have nothing but words of eternal gratitude for Sientebodas and, in particular, for our incredible wedding planner, Luis. From the very beginning, they exceeded every single expectation that my husband Drew and I had. Organizing a destination wedding is no easy task, but with this team, it felt like magic.

They respected our budget, helped us find a beachfront location that met all our desires, and accompanied us with impeccable attention every step of the way. As this was our first time organizing a celebration—and with guests from different cultures—their support was key in choosing a buffet that made everyone feel welcome. The result was perfect: every dish and every drink was exquisite. Our guests still talk about it.
The religious ceremony was very important to us, and Luis made sure everything went flawlessly. Thanks to him, we had a bilingual priest who celebrated a beautiful mass in English and Spanish, something that touched us deeply and that we will always carry in our hearts.
And the party... it was incredible! From the moment we entered the reception venue, we were amazed. Special mention goes to the gazebo decoration, which looked like something out of a dream. Luis, with just a few inspirational photos from Pinterest, transformed the space into something magical, welcoming, and unforgettable.
Our wedding was not just a beautiful celebration—it was a moment that became a milestone for everyone present. The love and care with which every detail was thought out was extraordinary. And with the charm of Cartagena as a backdrop, it was simply perfect.
If you dream of a wedding full of love, beauty, and unforgettable joy—Luis and the Sientebodas team are, without a doubt, the best choice.
Veronica & Marshall
Luis and the team at Siente Bodas planned our destination wedding in Cartagena and we could not be happier with the outcome. We met with Luis several times remotely to discuss venues, vendors, and themes and he was always prepared and knowledgeable. We travelled once before the wedding to take our engagement photos, try wedding food, do makeup trials, and tour the venue and he ensured that we made the most of that visit. And finally when the day came he ensured it was incredible, he was prepared for things we hadn’t considered and all contingencies. His vendors were incredible and his arrangement was beautiful. We can’t recommend Luis enough.
