Based in Spain but with a reach that stretches well beyond it, Open the Door Events designs weddings with intention at their core.

Despite its success, Place of LB remains proudly boutique, taking on only a limited number of weddings and events each year.
House of Kirschner
There's no ceiling to what the Mexico-based team at House of Kirschner will attempt. Pulling cues from the upper echelons of global fashion and lifestyle, they translate that same rarefied energy into experiences that turn scale and spectacle into something sharply individual and impossible to replicate. Trends, to the House of Kirschner, are something to originate, not follow — a distinction that's earned the team a reputation as the ones setting the pace.
Mille Papillons
Mille Papillons works across Mallorca, Barcelona, and beyond, handling everything from venue sourcing to the intricate sequencing of the wedding day itself. The team's full-service philosophy balances aesthetic instinct with real substance, drawing on global influences without letting the wedding lose its own accent. Every detail, every beat of the day, still sounds like the couple who's living it.
La Federica
At the heart of Spain-based studio La Federica are sisters María and Julia, whose shared vision approaches weddings as evolving works of art rather than fixed concepts. Nature, design, and the specifics of a couple's story are woven together with a craftsperson’s patience and an artist’s intuition. Their celebrations have the rare quality of feeling discovered rather than designed, as if the wedding had grown from the setting rather than been set upon it.
The Classified
The Classified brings a storytelling twist to wedding planning, treating every celebration as its own beautifully assembled case. Founded by three creative partners in Mexico, the studio is drawn to weddings with atmosphere, character, and a sense of surprise. Their approach mixes careful curation with a playful streak, turning each event into a vivid chapter in the couple’s story.

From sun-washed Sicilian landscapes to the clean drama of the Alps, Ashley draws a confident line between nature, architecture, and movement, allowing each setting to shape the celebration rather than simply frame it. It's a way of designing that trusts the place as much as the plan.
The Planners
The Planners is a Vietnam-based collective built on sharp thinking and an equally sharp eye, treating every wedding as its own narrative instead of a template to repeat. Atmosphere, aesthetics, and emotion move in step, allowing each detail to feel part of the same world and every moment to land with purpose. All weddings by The Planners have a strong visual language, but never at the expense of warmth, spontaneity, or fun.
Paloma Cruz
Since 2010, Paloma & Euge — the duo behind Paloma Cruz — have set the pace for weddings in Spain, racking up hundreds of celebrations spanning continents and scales. Extravagant luxury or a barefoot elopement, it is all the same register to them: bold, playfully offbeat, and guided by a sixth sense for what actually makes a day feel alive. The throughline is storytelling that always digs past the pretty surface, toward the personality and chemistry beneath it.
Alison Events
Five hundred celebrations deep across twenty countries, and yet Alison Events has never repeated itself. As a leading planner in the US, the team builds each celebration as its own reflection of place, people, and purpose, elevated by an impeccable sense of taste and equally sharp execution. Confidence runs through the aesthetic, built less on trend than on knowing exactly who the day belongs to.
Marianna Idirin
As the creative soul behind her full-service planning and design company, Marianna Idirin treats every celebration as a multi-sensory composition rather than a single event. Alongside her dedicated team, she works closely with couples to build environments that are as visually striking as they are emotionally charged. The philosophy is refreshingly simple: every detail matters, from the glow of the lighting to the rhythm of the music, with nothing ever left to chance. Based primarily in Los Cabos, Marianna and her team take their work far beyond it.
The Lynden Lane Co.
A wedding, in the hands of The Lynden Lane Co., is not a set to be staged. It is a space built to hold the people inside it, shaped by a family-led Southern California studio with decades of crossover experience in interiors and event design. That background translates into celebrations that lean personal, understated, and full of atmosphere. The Lynden Lane Co. chooses every detail for the weight it carries, not simply the impression it makes.
LaLindi
No wedding by LaLindi looks quite like the last one, even as each carries the same Italian sensibility at its root. Founder Valentina Lindi builds multi-day destination celebrations rooted in their setting, balancing polished design with a more instinctive, lived-in energy. The studio’s perspective travels well past Italy’s borders, but it never loses that original thread of heritage.
Lupita Tirado
Fifteen years, more than two hundred weddings, and a map that covers Mexico's most stunning destinations — that's the shorthand version of Lupita Tirado's portfolio. As the visionary behind Lupita Tirado Events Design, she builds immersive celebrations where elegance sits comfortably alongside cultural depth and modern artistry. Authenticity is the anchor throughout, shaped by tradition and sharpened by an exacting eye for detail.
