Meet Luisa

Meet Luisa Benda, owner of Magnolia Weddings and Events in the Florida Keys.

Hello! My name is Luisa Benda, owner of Magnolia Weddings and Events in the Florida Keys. I’m a Certified Wedding Planner through The Wedding Planning Institute and The Bridal Society. With over 10 years of experience in the event industry, I have collaborated and overseen many elaborate weddings, corporate events, and special celebrations. My love for organization and planning has always carried over into my work. 

After moving to the beautiful Florida Keys in 2016, I was lucky enough to meet and work with many talented wedding professionals and vendors in the area. Through this experience, I developed a passion for destination weddings, which led me to be able to plan and coordinate amazing weddings throughout the Florida Keys.

As your wedding planner (and friend), my goal is to help bring all your ideas together to create an event that reflects YOU and YOUR vision. I strive to help couples coordinate the details and logistics to make their destination wedding an unforgettable experience for them and their guests! 

Best Wishes,
