Event Planning for all your family celebrations; Weddings, Quinceanera's, Anniversaries, etc.
Ready to plan your special event but unsure where to start?
You have a vision for your day, complete with colors and florals, but need a trusted professional to bring it all together and handle the logistics, ensuring everything runs smoothly and you feel taken care of.
I am here to make sure your special day runs smoothly, while you enjoy your time with your family, sin preocupaciones!
If you have a large event coming up and don’t know where to start, or if you’re seeking a Latina event planner who understands your culture, traditions, and vision, I'm here for you. My philosophy is to treat clients with respect, kindness, and understanding, and to honor your vision without judgment.
Hola, I'm Chantal.
proud Latina & first-gen daughter
I grew up in a predominantly Latin community in Los Angeles County where celebrations were always happening for even the smallest reasons! Growing up, I began to truly recognize how impactful it was to maintain these deeply rooted traditions of music, food, culture, y celebraciones.
Noticing the lack of bilingual event planners who respect Latinx traditions, I decided to enter the event planning industry.
My Mission
is to assist my Latinx community in organizing and executing their special events with cultural sensitivity.
I specialize in working with couples and families who seek an event planner fluent in their language and traditions. I listen closely to your story and vision, valuing the importance of family and community. My goal is to ensure your event day is exactly as you envisioned, so you can enjoy it stress-free with your loved ones.
Beyond planning, I cherish the reactions of my clients on their big day, when every detail falls into place. My approach is to be an active listener, addressing your unique needs and concerns to minimize stress and anxiety.
When I'm not planning events, you might find me enjoying a glass of wine and pizza at a local winery with my husband and friends, or exploring new coffee drinks at a local café.

Kind Words
Chantal with MI Cielo Event Planning was incredible. From the start she jumped in to organize all the details/vendors we had already and helped us find a few other vendors still needed.
The day of the event she made sure things went smoothly and overall had an amazing wedding thanks to her! Definitely hire if needing a coordinator! It is worth it, and she was super personable and always responsive! She became a part of the family! Thank you, Chantal!

I just had an amazing wedding, and it was all thanks to my girl, Chantal!! Early 2023 I was looking for a wedding planner and was so glad to reconnect with her. I hired her to plan the full wedding, all the details. Let me tell you, she has patience!!! I’m not very good at multitasking and I leave so many messages unread from being busy, but She worked so well with it all and help coordinate with the vendors. From start to finish, it was executed over our expectations. I would highly recommend her for your wedding! Plus, she’s a sweetheart!! You definitely need someone like that to help make the perfect wedding. Thank you so much, Chantal!!!
