He went above and beyond of what we expected.
We are a Scottish – Mexican couple, who were planning a 2-day wedding in Edinburgh, 1 day full Scottish celebration and 1 day Mexican party. We found Oskar navigating on the web, his expertise caught our attention, and the first moment we spoke to him we were convinced he was the one to help us. He is respectful, kind, knowledgeable, patient, he’s very good at understanding personalities and that quality is imperative to do what he does. Communication with him was always efficient, even with 7

We are a Scottish – Mexican couple, who were planning a 2-day wedding in Edinburgh, 1 day full Scottish celebration and 1 day Mexican party. We found Oskar navigating on the web, his expertise caught our attention, and the first moment we spoke to him we were convinced he was the one to help us. He is respectful, kind, knowledgeable, patient, he’s very good at understanding personalities and that quality is imperative to do what he does. Communication with him was always efficient, even with 7 hours of time difference he never stop responding to our queries, and his calmness help us feel that everything was always under control. He has a wide options of suppliers but also he will find anything in order to help and would never push decisions towards any in particular. Organizing a wedding from a different country was a true challenge but Oskar and his team made things run smoothly, they took care of every detail, organized the guests, and he was even the master of ceremonies! He went above and beyond of what we expected. We highly recommend Oskar “the Wedding Guru” and we greatly appreciate all the effort he put in our wedding.

100% Recommend!!
100% Recommend!! Arranging a wedding from the heart of Texas was quite the undertaking, but Oskar made all the decision making process easy and efficient. He's a wonderful communicator, is a wealth of knowledge or traditional and non traditional wedding ideas, and his vendor relationships love working with him (we loved them too!). He made our fairy tale wedding come to life and our guest are STILL talking about it weeks later.... If you are planning a wedding, book Oskar ASAP! We are so

The best decision we made!
My wife and I were unsure about whether we should get a wedding planner, but hiring Oskar was easily the best decision we made. Even though we'd already booked almost all of our suppliers at the time, his help was invaluable, especially as we were planning a wedding hundreds of miles away. He knew all the right questions to ask when we met with our venue and catering teams, which he was more than happy to attend with us, and had ideas we'd never even thought about. We also had two suppliers canc

The best decisoon we have made!
My wife and I were unsure about whether we should get a wedding planner, but hiring Oskar was easily the best decision we made. Even though we'd already booked almost all of our suppliers at the time, his help was invaluable, especially as we were planning a wedding hundreds of miles away. He knew all the right questions to ask when we met with our venue and catering teams, which he was more than happy to attend with us, and had ideas we'd never even thought about. We also had two suppliers cancel, including our transport just two weeks before, but Oskar was able to advise us and help us find a brilliant alternative. We'd have been lost without him (and had a long walk!) On the day, he never stopped and made sure everything ran on time and smoothly, and we cannot thank him enough.
