    Dora is the BEST! Cannot recommend enough.

    We had the immense pleasure of working with the incredible Dora Thillet as our wedding planner, and there aren't enough words to express just how exceptional her services were. From the very beginning, Dora proved herself to be a true gem in the world of wedding planning.

    Dora's attention to detail is absolutely remarkable. She leaves no stone unturned, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was picture-perfect. Her meticulous planning and execution made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. We were able to enjoy every moment of our special day, thanks to Dora's expertise.

    Communication is key in any successful wedding planning process, and Dora truly excels in this area. She was not only responsive but also proactive in keeping us informed and updated. Her ability to listen to our ideas and turn them into a reality was truly impressive. Dora made us feel heard and valued, and her enthusiasm for our wedding was infectious.

    What truly sets Dora apart is her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients. Two examples stand out vividly in our minds. Firstly, Dora allowed us to ship essential items to her home in Puerto Rico, a kind gesture that made a world of difference since we were based in California. This level of flexibility and dedication is truly rare to find.

    Secondly, Dora's commitment to making our wedding day unforgettable was evident when she met up with us multiple times in Old San Juan before and after the wedding. These extra efforts for drop-offs, pick-ups, and coordination showcased her dedication and her genuine desire to make our day perfect.

    Dora Thillet is not just a wedding planner; she's a true wedding magician. She transformed our dreams into a beautiful reality, and we couldn't be more grateful. With Dora at the helm, you can trust that your wedding day will be everything you've ever imagined and more. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is detail-oriented, a master of communication, and someone who will go the extra mile for you, look no further than Dora Thillet. She's a wedding planner extraordinaire, and we can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Dora, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

    The best Wedding Planner

    Dora, thank you for all your support and guidance throughout this time. Dora was not just my wedding planner, but my psychologist and friend. She kept cool before and during the wedding. My venue was open and it decided to rain before, during and after the event. She managed it like a pro. She came up with plan B for everything, organized every detail and kept the calm for me and my invites. She help me get the best vendors in the world that made out day a memorable one. And even though we were on a schedule and a plan, she also allowed us to run the show how we were comfortable. She is super professional and very responsible. Honestly, we enjoyed every single second of our event and we didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much Dora. We would pick you a million times more.

    You need dora!

    -From the first email to the dance floor, Dora was there for everything. We have her in our wedding pictures because she was just such a lovely and integral part of our wedding who now feels like family.

    -She knew every single vendor and worked fantastic with all of them. She was kind and reassuring, but always advocated for us and was ready to put her (tiny) foot down at any moment! Her assistant (and daughter, support family business!) ran the show the day of the wedding!

    -Fairly priced, always responsive and communicative, organized, so kind, and patient. She is everything you need, especially if you are planning a destination from afar like we did.

    -Cannot recommend enough. Some photos can be seen on my IG: @remytherockstar, or if you are like us you will get real excited following @oldsanjuanweddings

    Took minimal idea to magical dream

    We couldn’t have picked a better wedding planner. Dora was able to take our vision and turn it into so much more than we could’ve imagined. She had a lot to deal with given my husband and I knew more what we didn’t want than what we wanted. She was able to visualize the vague concept, use her amazing expertise and transform it into reality. Dora encouraged our need to be different and would suggest vendors based on those ideas. She was never pushy, though and gave us lots of options to explore. Not only did we love it, but ALL of our guests raved about the experience. We loved Dora and hope we get the chance to express our gratitude in person soon!

    Fantastic, knowledgeable and advocate

    I hired Dora for my daughter-in-law to help her with her destination wedding. Dora was such a calming, knowledgeable, advocate for her. So grateful for her talent and friendly disposition. The wedding could not have been pulled off so efficiently without Dora’s help!

    If you are deciding between planners just book Dora

    Planning a destination wedding is hard but Dora made the entire process very easy! Her calm presence during the day was so appreciated and she made us feel at ease the entire day. We had rain on the forecast at our outdoor venue and she knew to shift the ceremony 30 minutes earlier so we could still have it outdoors. Because of this we were able to have the ceremony of our dreams and have all our photos outdoors which was important to us! Thank you Dora you will always be such a special person to us!

    Amazing planner !

    Dora was an amazing planner! My wedding would’ve not been the same without her. During the months coming up to the wedding, She was so responsive with every question we had and made sure everything was done how we wanted it even though we live in Connecticut. She made a timeline for the wedding and everything was perfect. At the wedding, she was so efficient and made sure everything was going smoothly. Before we contracted Dora my husband was on the fence to either get a planner or not. But as soon as he met Dora and saw her work at the rehearsal and wedding he was sooo happy we got Dora. Thank you Dora our wedding was perfect!

    A Perfect Wedding thanks to Dora!

    As we reflect on our magical wedding that we just celebrated, my new husband and I agree that hiring Dora was the best decision we could have made! Dora’s expertise shined when we proposed different ideas and she let us know the feasibility of each, talking through many different scenarios and suggesting creative solutions. She has a great knowledge of the venue that we had already selected which was important. Above this knowledge base, Dora is very considerate of our wants and needs, very caring and easy to talk to and work with! We are so happy to have met her!


    We feel that she especially offered so much value to the weeks leading up to and the DAY OF the wedding! It is remarkable how many small details need to be sorted, decisions need to be made, and people that need to be involved right through those final moments of the event and Dora handled all of these, seamlessly, without pause and made for a flawless day for us!

    The perfect day

    Dora was absolutely a pleasure to work with. I did the partial planning option, as I needed the most help the week of since it was a destination wedding. When looking for a planner, not only was I looking for someone who was organized, I also was looking for someone that was easy to get along with and responsive. I knew instantly she was the perfect fit. Dora handled everything for coordination with vendors and she would keep us on track with the timeline on wedding day. I knew I was in good hands and fully trusted her to coordinate everything and I was very impressed with how it all came together perfectly. We were able to enjoy the day, relax, and have fun! I truly adore Dora and appreciate all that she did to make our wedding day so enjoyable for us. I highly recommend her!

    Quality service at an affordable price

    Dora was the key to making our wedding an unforgettable one! Thanks to her I was able to enjoy our special day without fussing over the details. She had everything covered! I could definitely tell she's worked in the field for many years. Super grateful to her and her team, they were beyond amazing!

    Perfect wedding

    Dora organised our intimate wedding perfectly. Her communication skills impressed me from day one. She replied to our e-mail promptly and quickly scheduled a phone call followed by an in-person meeting. We knew right away that she would be responsive to our needs. I couldn't say the same about other wedding planners we contacted. Dora does not limit the number of hours, emails, or phone calls for correspondence which is definitely convenient since we didn't have to keep track of how many hours we've used leading to the 'big day'. From the beginning Dora listened and understood our ideas for our big day. She guided us through the venues and vendors. She knew exactly what would work best at our venue according to our style. And every vendor she recommended delivered great service. Her true value came through on our wedding day. We did not have to worry about a thing. She made sure we were pleased and happy with every little detail throughout the process. Thank you Dora!

    Dora handles everything behind the scenes on your big day so you can relax and have fun!

    Dora provided her partial wedding planning service for our December 2021 wedding in Puerto Rico. Dora was warm, responsive, reliable, flexible and helpful. On the day of my wedding I was able to just show up as she handled everything behind the scenes. Her relationships with the vendors was also really helpful in the month leading up to the wedding, especially with changing covid protocols and the challenge for my husband and I of planning a wedding from another location. Our wedding was magical and I lend a lot of the credit to Dora!

    All I needed and more

    Dora what everything I didn’t know I needed. Trying to plan a destination wedding became more difficult than I imagined. I realized needed help from someone local and would need help on the day of. I couldn’t have made a better decision. Dora was professional, prompt, prepared, and passionate. Both she and her assistant made the process and my special day all I ever dreamed of.

    Dora goes above and beyond!

    I hired Dora as my wedding planner in August 2019 while planning for a Dec 2020 wedding. With pandemic and the date changes, Dora has always been on top of her work as a wedding planner and supportive of all of our decisions through these 2.5 years of planning. I am so happy that Dora was our wedding planning throughout this whole process. Every vendor she suggested was amazing. She was able to bring together a great team of vendors that executed our wedding day perfectly! I was SO relaxed and happy on the day of the wedding. She kept the day moving along and I did not worry about the timeline one bit. She was always up to date with all of the changing protocols in Puerto Rico and she was a source of calm during this stressful season of planning and changing dates during the pandemic. She communicated well via email, whats app and always had an answer and solution to all of my questions. THANK YOU DORA! We are so happy we were able to have the wedding of our dreams at Hacienda Siesta Alegre, despite all of the changes. Highly recommend Dora to start your wedding planning process in Puerto Rico!!!

    Dora is phenomenal!!!. From the first day I contacted her to the day of the wedding she was there for us! We planned our destination wedding in Puerto Rico less than 10 months and everything came out amazing. She truly helped bring our vision and dream wedding to life. She knew exactly what we wanted and who to contact. She was the peace of mind we needed throughout the wedding planning journey and we are so happy to have her worked with her. THANK YOU DORA!

    Best decision ever

    Dora was recommended to me by two of my friends and I couldn't be happier for choosing her. First off, she's a sweetheart!
    Dora helped us find and book all the vendors needed and more. She was there every step of the way. Any question or concern we had, she helped us with. On the day of the wedding, she made sure everything was perfect. And thanks to her my wedding ran smoothly. My husband and I will forever be thankful for her.
    I definitely recommend her 100%

    Dora will ensure you enjoy your wedding day

    I can not thank Dora enough for her endless commitment to making our wedding day perfect. Planning a destination Wedding of 100 people during COVID was created slot of moments of uncertainty. Dora was always transparent and able to put my mind at ease. There is no way I would have been able to execute my wedding day and enjoy it had we not secured Dora as our planner. From start to finish she even ensured all items we needed were in our room at the end of the night. We are a rowdy group and Dora handled us with a firm patience we needed to ensure we covered our timeline. I’m still in awe of how she did all of that while still showing up looking beautifully professional. She is a huge asset to your next event.

    LOOK NO FURTHER! Dora is your wedding planner

    Writing this review took us a little while because there aren’t words to describe what a pleasure it was to work with Dora. When we had our initial consultation, Dora was patient and really listened to what we wanted for our big day. Our wedding was a destination wedding so we didn’t see our venue or meet any of our vendors in person. Dora quickly took note of our likes and dislikes and made helpful suggestions. We loved how she created a “dream team” for our wedding - everything went seamlessly and everyone worked perfectly together. Dora is kind hearted, professional and honest. She is detail oriented and does her job gracefully. We consider her family and wish we could get married again to work with her all over again! If you want to have the wedding of your dreams and work with someone that will not only make it happen but surpass all of your expectations, hire Dora Thillet. From the bottom of our hearts Dora, thank you! Working with you was a dream come true

    Dora is now friend and family

    I don’t think we could have gotten through our ever changing wedding plans without the help and support of Dora. After having to cancel our 65 guest destination wedding in favor of an elopement, due to the challenges faced by traveling during the pandemic, Dora stepped in to shift things around so our elopement at our destination venue was well organized and beautiful. She was able to move our vendor contracts to the new date and helped during the day to make sure everything was just perfect. Thank you, Dora. Love Michelle & Ralph Osorio.

    A good find

    Dora stepped in when our other wedding planner closed her business. She was quickly up to speed and helped with the final decisions that needed to be made for our daughter's destination wedding. She was always responsive and helpful and even allowed us to mail some items to her home. I would definitely recommend Dora for wedding planning.
