Hi, I’m Luz!

I’m so happy you’re here.

Helping couples feel supported during one of life’s biggest milestones isn’t just my career—it’s my calling.

My approach to planning is rooted in something simple:

When your wedding day arrives, I don’t want you worrying about timelines, vendors, or logistics.

I want you soaking in every hug, every happy tear, every quiet moment together, and every memory with the people you love most.

That’s why I approach every wedding with calm guidance, thoughtful organization, and an eye for meaningful details. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, my goal is always the same—to create a wedding day that feels effortless, beautifully executed, and uniquely yours.

My Journey

With a background in Psychology and Business from UC Berkeley, I’ve always been fascinated by people and what makes them feel genuinely supported.

After planning my own wedding while balancing everyday life, I experienced firsthand just how overwhelming wedding planning can become. I realized there had to be a better way—one where couples could actually enjoy their engagement instead of constantly managing checklists and decisions.

That experience ultimately led me to create Beyond I Do’s.

Today, I combine thoughtful planning, intentional design, and a heart for serving others to help couples feel cared for every step of the way.

Beyond Weddings

My husband and I recently welcomed our daughter, and becoming a mother has only deepened my appreciation for celebrating life’s most meaningful moments.

It’s reminded me just how quickly time passes—and why it’s so important to slow down and truly experience the moments that matter.

When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll usually find me:
