Design-Driven Planning for High-Profile Celebrations

Costa Rica Wedding Planners

Owner + Designer with a Superstar Daughter
I landed in Tamarindo in 2004 fresh out of the College of Charleston—and never looked back. I got my start as a wedding assistant, but quickly launched my own business so I could design weddings with style, heart, and a touch of the unexpected. Years of planning celebrations in paradise (and a deep love for design) led me to interior design, where I sharpened my eye for flow, space, and ambiance. That crossover? It’s magic. I’m known for staying calm under pressure, obsessing over the details, and creating weddings that feel effortless, elevated, and completely you—from start to last dance.

Keri Schmeling

Owner + Designer with a Michelin Star Palette.
I moved to Costa Rica in 2007 for a lifestyle reset—and found my calling designing weddings in one of the most beautiful places on earth. With a background in planning and production, and a love for refined, effortless design, I’ve brought over 500 weddings to life, from intimate elopements to lavish, multi-day celebrations. My artistic sensibility was shaped by my grandmother, an artist and collector, who taught me the magic of mixing old, new, and the unexpected. I’m known for my calm presence, elevated taste, and ability to turn a vision into something truly unforgettable—seamless, stunning, and deeply personal.

    We specialize in working with celebrities and high-profile individuals. That means concierge-level service, locked-down confidentiality, and a planning experience that feels effortless.

Because You Don’t Google This Kind of Wedding Planner

Our clients don’t find us—they're referred to us by stylists, agents, past clients, or friends who’ve seen what we do up close. Why? Because at this level, experience matters. Taste matters. And trust is everything.
