Karla Casillas has been drawn to the beauty of weddings, and the joy they bring to couples and their loved ones, for as long as she can remember. She decided to use her passion for intricate detail and creating unforgettable, magical moments to pursue a career in wedding planning and design. She started Karla Casillas & Co. in 2003.
This is what she had to say about her beloved business:
How did you start your company?
It began as a small venture, primarily focused on wedding planning in the Los Cabos area. Over time, our reputation for exceptional service and unique, personalized weddings led to growth and expansion. We have since evolved into a full-service wedding and event planning company, offering destination weddings, not only in Los Cabos, but also in other beautiful destinations around the world.
What do you love most about your work?
What I love most about my work is the opportunity to be part of such a special moment in people’s lives. Witnessing the happiness and love between couples as they say “I do” is incredibly rewarding. Additionally, I enjoy the creative process of designing unique and stunning weddings that reflect the couple’s personalities and vision. It’s a privilege to turn dreams into reality.
Your staff looks like they work very closely and in an organized manner. How many employees do you have now?
We have a dedicated team of approximately 20 talented professionals who work closely together to ensure every wedding, and event, is executed flawlessly. Our team consists of wedding planners, designers, coordinators, and support staff, all of whom contribute their expertise to make each celebration a success.
How would you say the wedding industry has changed over the 20 years you have been in business?
The wedding industry has undergone significant transformations over the past 20 years. One of the most notable changes is the influence of technology and social media, which have made wedding inspiration and planning more accessible than ever before. Couples now have access to a wide range of ideas and vendors from around the world. Additionally, there has been a shift towards more personalized and unique weddings, with couples seeking to showcase their individuality and cultural diversity.
What makes Los Cabos the perfect destination for your business and for weddings?
Los Cabos is an ideal destination for our business because of its natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and the warmth of its people. It offers a stunning backdrop for weddings, from pristine beaches to dramatic desert landscapes. The area’s world-class resorts and venues also provide exceptional options for couples. Furthermore, the proximity to the United States and easy access to flights from Canada, and Europe, make it a convenient and desirable destination for couples seeking a destination wedding with a touch of luxury and adventure.
Do you have any plans for the future for Karla Casillas and Co.?
We are constantly evolving and looking for new ways to elevate the wedding and event experience for our clients, and we are expanding to include social and corporate events. In the future, we plan to expand our destination offerings to more exotic locations, while continuing to embrace sustainability practices in our planning and design.
