Blue Lumina Events by Nelly Rios

Some weddings aren’t just about one beautiful day — they’re about everything it took to get there. 🤍

Mackenzie and Dan’s journey to “I do” came with its fair share of ups and downs, unexpected surprises, changes, and moments that tested the process along the way. But through every challenge, they continued choosing each other — and that’s what made this day even more meaningful.

When the wedding day finally arrived, everything came together so beautifully. The day was seamless, emotional, joyful, and filled with so much love from every single person in the room. From heartfelt vows and happy tears to nonstop laughter and unforgettable moments on the dance floor, it was the perfect reminder that even the most challenging journeys can lead to something truly magical.

A celebration not only of love, but of resilience, patience, partnership, and the beautiful life they’re building together. ✨

And honestly… seeing them finally take a deep breath, soak it all in, and simply enjoy the moment made every step worth it.

The mood of the day: modern, editorial, and effortlessly fun.

Every element was planned with intention, creating a celebration that felt refined, elevated, and full of memorable moments. From the fashion to the atmosphere, elegance was woven into every detail while still keeping the energy joyful and vibrant.

One of those weddings that simply felt timeless.

One week ago, we had the absolute honor of bringing Lauren and Joshua’s beautiful love story to life 🤍
From the quiet, meaningful moments to the unforgettable celebrations, every detail reflected who they are as a couple—kind, genuine, and deeply in love.
It’s always such a privilege to be part of a day that means so much. Still smiling thinking about this one ✨

I’m a wedding planner that just got married and here’s what actually mattered :

Hire the coordinator
Do not skip this. You cannot be the point person on your own wedding day

Research your venue and vendors
The right team will carry your entire experience

Be prepared for the unexpected.
Something will happen. The difference is having someone handle it for you

Enjoy the moment
It goes by fast and you don’t get that time back

I say this as someone who does this for a living: being on the other side changes everything! Having the right support is what allows you to actually experience your day instead of managing it.

Hot take :
A day of coordinator and a wedding planner are not interchangeable!

A coordinator manages the day

A planner manages the entire experience

One steps in at the end

The other is there from the very beginning

If you’re unsure which one you need, it usually means you need more support!

Hi, I’m Nelly — Founder & Lead Planner of Blue Lumina Events ✨
I often describe my role like the person guiding a plane safely to the gate — it takes precision, experience, and attention to detail to ensure everything arrives exactly where it should.
That’s how I approach your wedding day: calm, focused, and fully in control behind the scenes — so you can simply enjoy every moment.
To me, weddings aren’t about luxury — they’re about celebrating a meaningful chapter in your life, and everyone deserves to experience it in a way that feels authentic and intentional.
I’m a planner at heart — bringing structure, clarity, and calm to your entire journey. From timelines to logistics, I make sure everything flows seamlessly.
With over 23 years of professional experience, including working with multinational companies and managing $2M+ project portfolios, I bring a high level of organization, accountability, and ex*****on to every wedding I plan.
My approach is thoughtful, organized, and centered around you — because no two weddings should ever feel the same. I genuinely care about every couple I work with and always go the extra mile to make sure you feel supported.
Outside of weddings, I’m a travel lover, foodie, Friends fan, and cat mom of four 🐾 — and I speak two languages.
If you’re looking for a planner who brings both structure and heart to your day, I’d love to connect.
