About Me

With over 10 years of experience as a destination wedding planner, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping countless couples turn their dream weddings into unforgettable realities. My journey began in the world of tourism, where I worked in the Sales and Events department at a beautiful hotel. It was there that I discovered my passion for weddings and realized just how much I loved creating magical, personalized celebrations for brides and grooms.

Driven by the desire to bring more dreams to life, I took a leap of faith and became an independent wedding planner. I knew I wanted to do more—more for the brides who trusted me with their special day, and more to showcase the beauty and romance that Belize has to offer.

Belize, affectionately known as The Jewel, is truly unBelizeable. From its breathtaking beaches to lush rainforests, ancient ruins to picturesque islands, this country is the perfect canvas for your destination wedding. Every ceremony becomes a unique blend of natural beauty, heartfelt love, and unforgettable memories.

I am deeply honored and grateful for the support I received through the BEEP grant provided by Beltraide and the Government of Belize. Their belief in the potential of Hitched in Belize has helped make this dream a reality—not just for me, but for all the future brides looking to say “I do” in paradise. This website exists today because of their investment and trust in my vision.

Planning weddings is not just my career—it's my calling. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the joy in a couple’s eyes as they experience their perfect day. So whether you’re dreaming of an intimate beach ceremony, a grand celebration under the stars, or a culturally rich affair, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Grab life. Grab the opportunity. Make your destination wedding in Belize truly unBelizeable.
