ABOUT
Hi, I'm Hope!
For over 35 years I've poured my heart into creating unforgettable wedding experiences and breathtaking events. Whether I am officiating your ceremony, guiding you on every detail of your reception, or serving as your emcee, I approach each moment with love, intention, elegance and grace.
With a background in hospitality and event management as a former hotel catering professional, I've spent decades planning and executing flawless functions from intimate gatherings of 10 to over 1,000 guests. I am a State of Florida Notary Public, and also a minister able to conduct lawful unions in any of the 67 counties within the State of Florida. Being fully bilingual, I am able to conduct your ceremony in English or Spanish with ease.
In 2018 I was recognized by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County as 1 of 100 Outstanding Women of Broward for my philanthropy work in our community. I have been married to my wonderful husband Tony since 1996 and we share 3 beautiful children. Marrying couples and organizing events isn't just a thing I do...it is my calling.
Because I wholeheartedly love the art of service, I intentionally work with only a limited number of couples each year. It is important to me to only marry couples with whom I share a mutual natural chemistry. When I say "I do" to your wedding or special event, I bring my full energy, passion, and attention to every detail as if it were my own.
I am here to anticipate your needs, smooth out the details, and make sure your special day is nothing short of magical by assisting with as much or as little as you need.
Elegant Events with Heart is not just a tag line - it's my promise to you!

PREFERRED VENDORS
Working With the Best
Nelly & Moises
I had the pleasure of meeting Esperanza (Hope) in 1990 when I was planning my daughter Evelyn's Quince at the Shawnee Miami Beach Resort. She was just 20 years old at the time. The party was a huge success and after it was over I missed her dearly as we had developed a beautiful friendship. Life has blessed me with a wonderful husband, loving children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and a successful business. With humble beginnings, Moises and I did not have a lavish wedding. Last year when my daughters decided to surprise me with a 5oth Wedding Vow Renewal they knew it would mean a lot to me to have Esperanza (Hope) be part of our special day. She worked with my girls to ensure the day of the event ran smoothly, officiated the service and was even our Emcee. We had a magical day!
Alina & Carlos
Hope's thoughtful and heartfelt officiating added something truly special to our day. Her words were beautifully spoken, rich with meaning and reflected our story in such a deeply personal way. She made us feel loved and supported, and completely at ease on one of the most important days of our lives. It felt as if every word she spoke wrapped us in warmth and love, gently affirming what we already knew in our hearts - that we were meant to share forever together.
Gloria & Ed
We knew immediately that Hope would be amazing as our wedding planner by the detailed questions she asked and her level of professionalism which is very hard to find today. We met, she listened and understood our desires and limitations and created a customized wedding event that will forever define our special day. She conducted the rehearsal ceremony and wedding reception in Spanish and ensured that every detail was completed to perfection. She assisted and guided us throughout the entire process in selecting music, decorations, food and made it all seem flawless. She was even our Emcee. Everyone walked away with a sense of amazement. Hope is an exemplary service provider and phenomenal to work with!
