Client Testimonials
A very professional wedding planning service who catered for all our needs having our wedding in Marbella on 7th June 2019. I would highly recommend Lali & Lili’s service. A lot of our wedding guests also commented to us on how helpful and organised the girls were and made the whole day flow without any problems. Could not thank you enough girls.
Lili was my Fairy Godmother, she is the best wedding planner in the world.
She and her team give more than they ask for, they are always there trying to do their best and it is not to exaggerate but they always exceed expectations. They are INCREDIBLE, for me it was the best investment in my wedding.
Apart from being a great wedding planner, she is a person with a huge heart and this type of person is the one who deserves to be very successful for being so noble and efficient.
I SUPER RECOMMEND!
We live in Canada, we had only a month to plan our wedding in Marbella ! I’m so happy we chose to work with Marbella wedding, Lili and Alexandra did a fantastic job! The team was very attentive, organized, devoted, genuine and generous! The job they did was out of our expectations ! It’s the kind of agency you can trust blindly!
I found Lili and her team back in May 2021. Over a zoom call she talked me through her process and I really felt she would be a safe pair of hands to lead our wedding.
