THE PALACIO PROCESS

  • Every wedding begins with a conversation. We take time to listen to your story, your vision, and what excites you most about this chapter. This step builds trust and lays the foundation for everything that follows.

  • From inspiration to intention, we curate a design that reflects who you are. Every choice, whether florals, linens, or layout, is selected with purpose, ensuring your wedding feels cohesive, elevated, and deeply personal.

  • Behind every beautiful moment is a detailed plan. We create timelines, manage vendor communication, and handle the flow of the day so you can feel confident that nothing is overlooked.

  • Through vendor partnerships, design mock-ups, and ongoing touchpoints, we refine the details together. This step ensures your event isn’t just planned, but polished and ready to exceed expectations.

  • On the wedding day, everything comes to life. Our team manages the behind-the-scenes so you can be fully present, immersed in the celebration, knowing every detail has been handled with precision and care.

HAPPY COUPLES
FROM OUR

  • “I can't say enough about Tony but I will attempt to here. I am a South Asian bride, and as many know, our weddings are huge and last for days. Being a wedding planner for our kinds of weddings is not for the weak! Tony was up to the task and delivered more than I could ever imagine. I have people texting me and calling me months after our wedding to tell me how beautiful and seamless everything was.

    We have a different culture, different expectations, a LOT of personalities and visions, but he easily put it all together and adapted to every situation. He found solutions instantly and always made me feel extremely comfortable. From the very beginning, Tony was interested in my vision and bringing that to life. He never imposed his own views or directed me to go with a vendor until I was absolutely comfortable with.

    He communicated with my family with such grace and respect and was able to incorporate everyone's wishes without losing sight of the important details. If you are looking for someone who is creative, kind, caring, hardworking, talented and who goes above and beyond all while being extremely professional, go with Tony. Thank you, Tony!”

  • “We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Tony. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our wedding was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. Tony didn’t just help coordinate our day — he helped bring our vision to life, guiding us through every step with care, expertise, and unwavering support.

    He made sure nothing was overlooked, from the big picture down to the smallest details. Tony anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, and his calm presence and genuine kindness helped ease any stress leading up to the day. On our wedding day, he was a true anchor — making sure everything ran smoothly while allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

    Thanks to Tony, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. His dedication, professionalism, and heart made all the difference. We’re endlessly grateful to have had him by our side.”

  • “Tony went above and beyond in everything for our April wedding at the Hermosa Inn. We planned our wedding 100% remotely and did not even see the venue until days before. Tony conducted multiple site visits to ensure every detail of our vision came to life. I cannot recommend Tony enough. He is proactive, quick to reply, and super communicative! Not to mention a delight to work with and genuinely nice person. Thanks so much Tony!!”

  • “Tony and his assistant Ariana made my wedding day absolutely PERFECT! They took the reins first thing in the morning and didn’t bother me with a single issue. They went above and beyond to make sure things were set up correctly and timely and coordinated with all vendors day of. From big items like ceremony set up and table settings to tiny details like making sure my dress buttons were closed all night, they really knocked it out of the park.

    For the months leading up to my wedding Tony was by my side with any questions, opinions or negotiations that I needed help with. He went out of his way to even help out with some DIY’s I decided to do. I couldn’t recommend Tony and his team enough. Whether you need a full planner, or a day of coordinator, he is the perfect pick for any event.”

We take on a limited number of events to maintain the quality we're proud of.
