Some people stumble into their calling, while others seem destined for it. For the founder of Aced Affairs, wedding planning was less a choice and more an inheritance of creativity and precision, rooted deeply in a family of event organizers.
Growing up with parents who organized large events—my father ran a lighting audiovisual company and my mother hosted pageants—I was constantly exposed to event planning and logistics. This inspired my passion for organizing, whether it was creating itineraries for trips or sleepovers.
Before founding Aced Affairs, the path was already being paved in hospitality. With a background in hotel operations, the planner honed skills that would become crucial in building unforgettable celebrations.
“I began my career in the hotel industry and worked for the executive chef pricing and putting together menus for the restaurants on property. I then transitioned into the events department, where it really solidified that this is what I wanted my career path to be.”
The turning point came during the pandemic. After working with a wedding and event design and rental company, she knew it was time to take the leap and create something of her own.
What makes Aced Affairs stand out is not just expertise but a philosophy that’s as refreshing as it is supportive.
“Our company philosophy is being transparent and completely honest with our couples and also being a source of support for them. We are on our clients’ team and we are going to bat for them at every opportunity. Our belief is that planning your wedding should not be stressful—it should be exciting!”
The brand’s heart lies in curating intimate weddings of 50 guests or less, where every detail becomes deeply personal and meaningful.
While the logistics, coordination, and countless hours of calls are part of the job, the true joy for Aced Affairs comes at the very end.
“When planning a wedding with couples, especially if I’m working with them for 12 months or more, there are hundreds of phone calls and hours of coordinating. Seeing it all come together after 12 or 18 months of planning is my favorite part. Having a happy couple truly enjoying their wedding day and everything being exactly what they imagined makes all the hours of work worth it.”
Every planner has that one wedding that leaves a lasting mark. For Aced Affairs, it was an Indian wedding that tested resilience and creativity.
My most memorable wedding I ever planned would have to be a three-day Indian wedding. We didn’t finalize venues for their six events until three weeks before. Then, the week of the wedding, it rained the entire week. We had to move all the events indoors and adjust décor to make a ballroom not look like a boring ballroom! We were successful in the end, and the clients were happy—and that’s all we could ever ask for.
Understanding that no two couples are the same, Aced Affairs offers flexible options:
Full Wedding & Event Planning
Month-of Coordination
Design Services
Custom Packages for Unique Needs
The goal is simple: give each couple the exact support they need.
Budget is often the most sensitive part of wedding planning, and Aced Affairs addresses it head-on.
“The first thing we like to establish with our clients is what their budget is and make sure that it’s reasonable for the amount of guests they are anticipating and what they are looking to achieve overall. Budget is normally the number one source of stress. By clarifying it from the beginning, we help couples stay realistic and avoid disappointment later.”
Though Aced Affairs works across the island, Baha Mar remains a frequent venue for its events. Yet, no matter the location, challenges are reframed as opportunities.
“I don’t believe in challenges when it comes to event planning. I like to think of them as hurdles we just need to get over and resolve. In this industry, there’s always something that needs to be worked out. If I looked at them as challenges, it would get exhausting. So instead, I just focus on solutions.”
For anyone planning their wedding right now, the advice is straightforward and wise:
“Hire a planner! Even if you feel you don’t need one, the value a planner can bring to your wedding planning experience is invaluable. A planner will save you money and bring you insight that only years of planning weddings can give you. My other piece of advice is: remember it is your day and ultimately you need to do what makes you happy.”
If she could give advice to her younger self, it would be a reminder of belonging and persistence.
“Don’t give up and you belong in this space!”
And when it comes to dream venues? The answer is refreshingly open-ended.
I wouldn’t say I have a dream venue. My dream wedding venue would be a completely blank slate that I can build up from scratch based on what my clients want.
Aced Affairs isn’t just about logistics and timelines. It’s about creating experiences that feel effortless, celebrations that feel personal, and weddings that live forever in memory.
