Kiss the Planner - Palm Beach, Florida

Bernadette Marasigan

Choosing Kiss the Planner, led by the incredible Aviva, was undoubtedly one of the best decisions Eric and I made in our wedding planning journey. From the initial consultation to the last dance at our reception, every step was guided with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care.

Aviva has an incredible ability to turn dreams into reality. She listened attentively to our vision, offering valuable insights and creative suggestions that not only enhanced our ideas but also made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it was evident that Aviva is passionate about her work.

Communication was seamless throughout the process. Aviva was always prompt in responding to emails and calls, making us feel reassured and valued. Her organizational skills are commendable, and she kept everything on track, ensuring that all the moving parts came together seamlessly on the big day.

One of the standout qualities of Aviva is her ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace. From minor hiccups to last-minute adjustments, she navigated everything with a calm and composed demeanor, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any worries.

What truly set Aviva apart was her unique ability to save us money without compromising on the quality of our wedding. Aviva, suggested skipping the traditional florist and took charge of the floral arrangements herself. Her past experience as a florist added a special touch, as she seamlessly blended her creative ideas with our vision, resulting in stunning floral arrangements that exceeded our expectations.

Aviva's creativity went beyond the floral arrangements. Recognizing the importance of incorporating my Filipino culture into the ceremony, she suggested the use of "Abaniko," a traditional Filipino hand fan. This thoughtful addition added a personal and cultural touch to the ceremony, making it even more meaningful for us and our guests. Aviva's ability to infuse cultural elements into the celebration demonstrated a deep understanding of my background and a commitment to making my wedding day a reflection of who we are.

As residents of Las Vegas, the idea of a destination wedding seemed like a distant dream. However, with Aviva's assistance, we were able to turn this dream into a reality by getting married in Florida. Aviva's expert budgeting skills and resourcefulness allowed us to afford a destination wedding while staying within our financial means.

While we acknowledge that weddings or events are not always perfect, we are grateful that ours came pretty close, thanks to Aviva and the team. Life will continue to throw hardships our way, but what's most important is how we react to them. Aviva exemplified the essence of embracing imperfections with a positive attitude. Her ability to navigate challenges seamlessly not only made our wedding day perfect but also served as a valuable life lesson.

In summary, Aviva is not just a wedding planner, she is a dream-weaver, turning your vision into a reality. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for what she does, set her apart in the industry. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day truly magical and impart valuable life lessons along the way, Aviva is the one to choose. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Aviva and her entire team for making our destination wedding an unforgettable and joyous occasion.

As a vendor who provides decor and flowers for weddings and events, I can tell you that working with a planner is a dream. A planner provides the client with one contact. And vendors with one contact, the planner. Ensuring the simple construction of a beautiful event. Aviva is the heart of Kiss the Planner and definitely has proven to be excellent at planning the most lavish events. It is an honor to work with her. I highly recommend her.

As a person who shares in the value of customer service and professionalism Aviva (Kiss the Planner) does not fall short in these areas. I love the way she details an event timeline and strategically position each team member on her production team. The events I assisted on have been absolutely amazing. When I had a question she was literally a phone call or text away. She trusts the process and your instinct while directing to a fast and easy solution. I love working with her and her team and seeing how she is passionate about making sure her clients are satisfied.

Aviva is beyond amazing! Since we were having a smaller wedding we thought we would be able to handle all the planning and and fine details on our own while still both working full time. Boy were we wrong!
We met with and hired Aviva in July 2021 as a planner month/day of coordinator. With many years of experience and a large network of vendors that she works with, you will get great value. In the month leading up to our wedding we had to find last minute replacements for our florist and groomsmen suit rentals, as the original vendors dropped out unceremoniously. Aviva set me up with a tux shop the same day, and got us a new florist to sign with within 36 hours!
Aviva is extremely patient with her clients and keeps them grounded when the stress levels start to rise. She and Paige were a complete pleasure to work with from start to finish- including the day of! She and her additional assistants made sure the entire day-of flowed seamlessly. Everyone who attended said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended. Thank you so much Aviva for all your time and support! We couldn't have done it without you

As a fellow vendor, I love teaming up with Aviva for weddings and enjoy providing Bridal Valet services for her clients when needed. Aviva’s wedding day timelines are airtight perfection with no details left out. Her relationship with vendors is professional, communication is excellent, and she really goes above and beyond for clients.

Do NOT use this planner for a big event with a lot of moving pieces! We decided to hire Aviva due to us having an observant Jewish wedding and she had this same background so we thought this would be a person who understood how to help this wedding be successful while at a moderate price point. Unfortunately this couldn’t have been farther from the truth. We don’t know if Aviva was in over her head but too many things went wrong (her day of team was amazing though! Michelle, Paige, Angie and Oniki kept the day organized) We felt quite concerned in the middle of the process and Aviva assured me that based on her other good reviews, the rest of the planning process and the wedding day would be smooth. This did not end up being the case. Aviva did not bring our kippahs which were crucial to the religious ceremony and most importantly our Ketubah was completely missing when we opened the box the following morning. We spent the 2 days after the wedding sick to our stomachs only to find out it had been thrown in the garbage due to carelessness in Aviva’s coordination. To Aviva’s credit, once we realized it was missing she worked to find it including going through trash. It was never found and this is a foundational piece of our wedding that we will never get back. Aviva also was rude and short with multiple of my bridesmaids and brought my sister to tears. The day was stressful but I expect a paid vendor to be professional and not exhibit these behaviors. On a very basic level, Aviva helped us find a few of our great vendors and organize a loose schedule. However, it took a lot of prompting and following up on our end and she told us to stop micromanaging her each time. Even all the small things day of such as making sure we ate, had some water, or had a ride to change into the second look (+ a lot more) were just completely forgotten by Aviva. Aviva really tries and she has good intent but our planning process and her actions on our wedding day left a lot to be desired. Had she not forgotten the Ketubah, this review may have been slightly better but to let something so crucial get overlooked is absolutely inexcusable.

Keeping your vendors updated is crucial to the event. A planner brings the pieces all together and makes sure we all have the most up-to-date information to ensure inventory and success. Aviva is that kind of a planner, she is a great addition to your wedding team!

Aviva was such a lifesaver when it came to planning our wedding. There were so many details to keep track of, and she made sure we talked over all of them. Aviva put together a specific timeline that helped everything stay on track and run smoothly, and she and her associates Paige and Vicky helped to make our wedding day super special and absolutely perfect.

I would seriously have gone nuts if I hadn’t hired Aviva during the planning process!

I highly recommend Kiss the Planner for your wedding needs. Do yourself a favor and contact Aviva as soon as you get engaged!
