Itala Vásquez walking down a candlelit aisle

Hi, I'm Itala.

I founded Mi Boda En Cartagena in 2005 with one idea: that a couple living thousands of miles away could have the wedding they dreamed of in the walled city, without the stress of planning it from abroad.

Since then I have planned more than a hundred weddings for couples from over thirty countries. I work in English and Spanish, with a trusted network of more than 150 vendors in the city: venues, florists, chefs, musicians, photographers and the people who make Cartagena what it is.

I take a limited number of weddings each year so that every couple has my full attention. From the first video call to the last dance, I am the person on the other side of the line.
