A Long Table Under the Palms
Ninety guests at one continuous candlelit table, string lights strung between royal palms, and a dusk sky that behaved exactly as scheduled.
VELA plans and designs destination weddings from Palm Beach to the Florida Keys — every table, every light, every petal placed with intention, so your only job on the day is to live it.
An oceanfront ceremony on a Palm Beach lawn — 140 guests, a rose and eucalyptus arch, and a sunset we planned around to the minute. This is what a VELA wedding feels like.
Anyone can photograph a centerpiece. We show you complete weddings — the venue, the palette, the plan — because that is what you are actually buying.
Ninety guests at one continuous candlelit table, string lights strung between royal palms, and a dusk sky that behaved exactly as scheduled.
A suite of handmade cotton paper, sage silk and a terracotta wax seal — the first thing 160 guests touched, and the tone for everything after.
A Keys destination weekend for 60 — welcome dinner, sunset vows and a barefoot last dance. Every vendor flew under our wing, not yours.
Most VELA couples invest $60k–$150k+ all-in for their wedding. Our fees are below — in writing, like everything else we do.
We step in six weeks out, take over every vendor thread and run your day to the minute — so the last month feels like a countdown, not a cliff.
Twelve to eighteen months of planning, design and vendor curation — the complete VELA experience, including destination weekends across Florida.
You have the venue and the vision; we bring the vendor black book, the design polish and the production muscle for the final six months.
Keep scrolling: the constellation traces itself the way your planning year will — one bright, unmissable step at a time.
Thirty minutes, zero pressure. Your date, your vibe, your budget — real answers on all three.
A concept deck made only for you: palette, textures, florals, light. Approved before a dollar moves.
We shortlist venues you could not find alone and book the vendor team we already trust with our name.
The fun part, scheduled around your life — menus, cake, music, paper, all decided without panic.
Timelines to the minute, vendors confirmed twice, family wrangled gently. You sleep. We refresh spreadsheets.
You are a guest at your own wedding. Whatever goes sideways, you will hear about it in the toasts — years later.
"A hurricane warning moved our entire welcome dinner indoors — and I found out from the toasts, a year later. That is what you are paying for."
"We planned a Keys wedding from Chicago in fourteen months. Every email answered same-day. Every vendor better than we could have found ourselves."
"Our budget was the thing I feared most. VELA tracked every dollar, pushed back when vendors padded quotes, and we came in under. Under."
Venues where the staff greet us by name — which means load-in times, rain plans and sunset angles we do not have to guess.
Dreaming of somewhere else? We plan anywhere between Palm Beach and Key West — and we scout it in person first.
"Fourteen seasons ago I planned my sister's wedding on a Palm Beach lawn with a clipboard and a prayer. The clipboard got better. The promise never changed: you should be the most relaxed person at your own wedding."
Marisol leads every VELA wedding personally — she is the voice on your first call and the last person to leave your reception. That is why the calendar stops at eighteen.
Tell us your date, your dream venue and your vibe. Within 24 hours you will hear back from Marisol herself — with a yes, a maybe, or a better idea.
