When I first started to plan our destination wedding, I figured I could do everything on my own. I quickly found out that I didn't have the time or resources to plan my wedding from home and started to look for a wedding planner/coordinator within my budget. When I found Damaris we emailed for a bit and then I finally spoke to her and that was all I needed to make our decision (my hubby had very little say in this decision). Damaris is really easy to get along with and she quickly grasped the vision for our wedding. One of Damaris's strength is her organization. That was very important because we were nervous about not speaking the language or having any contacts in Puerto Rico. Damaris would routinely schedule meetings to keep us updated, provide suggestions, or just check-in to see how we were doing. Her experience and sincerity was consistently on display. She helped fill-in details for the ceremony and reception that we may have overlooked. We even went through the traumatic experience of having to change our venue 3 months before our wedding. Damaris quickly stepped in with solutions and visited the new venue several times to provide us with in person feedback. She communicated with the venue to help us gain all the perks that she could get. The wedding and ceremony was a complete success. Our guests were amazed at how elegant and idyllic the décor and wedding looked. Everyone had such an amazing time! Damaris surpassed our high expectations for our wedding. She even called and offered to bring me breakfast on the wedding day to ensure that I ate. Damaris and her team are very detailed oriented and they made an effort to highlight us and make the day all about us. You will not find anyone with the level of professionalism, attention to details, sincerity, and overall calming presence than Damaris. She is truly a gem! I highly recommend Damaris for all of your events! She will ensure that your event will leave a positive lasting impression. Our dream wedding was made a reality and I don't believe it would've been so seamless without Damaris. Everyone is still talking about the wedding and how much of a hit it was! Thank you again!!!! read more

Words cannot express how amazing Damaris and her team are. My fiancé and I decided to get married in Puerto Rico without ever having traveled to the island. I know that sounds crazy but there were reasons we chose PR (I'll save that for another day). As one can imagine, planning a wedding from another location is as nerve wrecking as it sounds. I discovered Damaris and was impressed by her response time, her knowledge and her kindness. She was genuinely interested in helping me create the wedding of my dreams and I felt that right away. She listened to me, and also guided me when I didn't have a clue on what to do (which was a lot!). She was able to keep me calm and not overwhelmed (I'm not an organized/planner type of person) and also kept me on track with my timeline. The wedding: The venue-The Mansion, her staff, the FOOD every aspect of the wedding, was BEYOND what I could have imagined! If there were any last minute emergencies I didn't know it because she handled everything with such ease and grace. My guests raved about the wedding decor, flowers and everyone loved Damaris. And the budget!!! She worked her magic, saved us money, and still made me feel like I was a princess. Nothing felt like we cut any corners. You have to trust your wedding planner and Damaris went above and beyond what was expected. She was truly my advocate and I wish I could have given her a million dollar tip. She is worth it. Your wedding is one of the biggest events in your life. But it's also one of the hardest things to plan. You definitely need a professional in your corner and there is no better team than Damaris and Exclusive Activities PR. read more

Our family (17 in all ranging in age from 7 to 60) have just returned from one of our best family vacations ever at Villa Tuscany. I was responsible for planning the trip and I could not have done it without Damaris. She's wonderful!! I began emailing her about our trip in May. With such a large family, we had lots of questions, special requests, etc. Damaris answered every email and text quickly, professionally and with a smile. No question or request was too small or large and, no matter how many times we contacted her, she always got back to us. Not only did she help us coordinate chef and transport services, car rentals, and house keeping, but she recommended several excursions including a very successful and fun family deep sea fishing trip and a trip to the rain forest. She was instrumental in making our trip so wonderful and I things would not have gone nearly as well as they did without her. We had the pleasure of meeting Damaris in person at the Villa. She's as lovely in person as she was on the phone. Huge smile and very sweet! If you are planning any trip to Puerto Rico (and especially to Villa Tuscany) - call or email Damaris immediately. Do not hesitate!! She will make your trip even more special. Our family is so grateful for her help and we recommend her services without hesitation. read more

Damaris coordinated all of our activities for our 4 day stay at Villa Sofia in Rio Grande. We were a group of 16 girls celebrating a bachelorette party and it was imperative that we have a very organized trip. I began emailing Damaris months before the date of arrival to start planning. She answered every one of my emails and questions with the utmost respect and enthusiasm. She made AMAZING suggestions for each day/night and was very accommodating to every change that popped up along the way. She booked all of our transportation, hired live local music to perform for us, booked catamaran, booked a club night in san juan, and decorated the golf carts to celebrate the bachelorette party! Those are just the things i can think of offhand. All of the girls cannot stop bragging about how fabulous our trip was & that was because of Damaris' hardwork and all the planning she did. Even when we were already at the villa and every activity was booked, if i had a question or concern and didn't know who to call, Damaris was ready and willing to help me with whatever we needed. She truly went above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend using her to plan any trip you may take to Puerto Rico! She really knows her stuff, is so sweet, easy to work with, and her pre-planning ensures a stress-free trip! read more

Where do I begin, Damaris planned and organized three events for my family from 2016 to 2018. All three were dreams come true. First she did a surprise birthday party for my wife in 2016. All I did was give her some color ideas and basically explain what I wanted and she handled the rest. It turned out to be the best party I had ever attended and my wife was floored! Damaris arranged for my daughter to have a photo shoot for her 15th birthday. She took care of everything and found an amazing photographer. My daughter looked and felt like a princess for the day all thanks to Damaris' work. Finally, just yesterday, my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary. Damaris planned the whole event. We renewed our vows at San Cristobal overlooking the ocean and had an intimate reception aboard a sailboat in San Juan Bay, all planned by Damaris and her team. Damaris leaves no stone unturned and every detail is thought of. She makes every event completely stress free for her client and it is obvious her client's satisfaction is her one and only concern. In the end, Damaris wasn't just an event planner, she became a friend. There is no one else in PR I would recommend to plan a memorable event. Mr. & Mrs. Smith read more

No words to describe how AMAZING this woman is! We decided to rent villa Sofia for our destination wedding so we hired Damaris to plan a wedding from scratch. She went above and beyond to make sure she found the lowest price on all services and rentals while still providing exactly what we wanted all through phone calls and emails. Not only did she plan our destination wedding, she also took care of all the activities our guest wanted to take part on and they were all amazed with her service. Every detail went beyond my expectation from the music to the table settings everything was perfection.I never had to deal with any vendors she took care of every detail! We are in deep gratitude with everything Damaris did for us and how easy and stress free she made the whole process for us. Strongly recommend her for any vacations or event planning . read more

We have just returned from our destination wedding at the Villa Tuscany and it was fabulous! We could not have pulled off the amazing 4 day event without the help of the worlds best wedding planner. Damaris Rivera was incredible! There is nothing that she cannot plan and execute, and she does it in the most cost effective way. She also is great at troubleshooting - she had a backup plan for everything. Her attention to detail is flawless. She thought of everything down to the smallest detail. Damaris returns phones calls and emails ASAP - and through it all remains pleasant, happy and helpful. Even our guests could not stop telling us how wonderful she is. Damaris truly went above and beyond the call of duty for us and our event and we can never thank her enough for that. read more

Turning 40 Like Royals @ Villa Tuscany Just returned home from the best vacation ever in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico where we stayed in a stunning mansion, Villa Tuscany. It was a perfect way to celebrate a 40th birthday. What really made our trip the vacation of a lifetime was the Activites Coordinator Damaris Rivera. I was the sole planner for our travel group of 10 and Damaris made every activity special and effortless for me. "Above and Beyond" could be her tagline because that's what she did for us. Even if you are not staying @ Villa Tuscany I recommend calling her to plan all you Puerto Rican Adventures/Activities. Our core memories have forever been changed by our Villa Tuscany experience thanks to all of you. read more

Damaris is not only incredibly helpful and organized, she is lovely to be around. On our family trip of 17 people she made sure everyone's requests big and small were fulfilled right away. She arranged a last minute trip to San Juan, a photographer for family portraits and completely smooth transportation to and from the airport. She even brought balloons for all the kids one night because she knew it would make them happy. She responds quickly to calls/texts and was never unavailable to us the entire week. I don't think our trip would have been as stress-free as it was without her. Highly recommend! read more

If you need your vacation planned, look no further! We were a large group of 13, ranging from 15 to 80 years old, and Damaris found something for everyone. She planned all of our activities and went above and beyond to make sure things ran smoothly. When our Catamaran trip was canceled due to a problem with the boat, she immediately found a fantastic alternative. She came over to meet with us in person after we arrived to give us some tips, and her restaurant recommendations were outstanding. Thanks to Damaris, our vacation in Puerto Rico was better than we could have ever imagined! read more

AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about Damaris and her help coordinating multiple activities for our family while in Puerto Rico. Everything from a catamaran/snorkeling trip to Culebra, ziplining in the rainforest (El Yunque) and even massages in our condo for our entire family. She is extremely organized and provided all of the details/maps/etc. and a custom itinerary for us upon arrival. She is very personable, professional and has a TON of connections. She knows her stuff! We will definitely be calling upon her when we return next year!! read more

Damaris was my wedding planner June 24, 2017. Wonderful service, well worth the investment. Damaris was a joy to work with. She does a beautiful job. My wedding would not have been the beautiful event it was without her. My husband and I strongly recommend her. She is reasonably priced, especially considering the professional and attentive service she renders. She and her assistant paid attention to all the details that made my dream wedding a reality. I feel I've made a new friend! Thanks so much! read more

Damaris and her team are truly wonderful. We've just returned from a week in Puerto Rico with the entire family - 19 of us over three generations. We stayed at Villa Tuscany in the Wyndham Rio Mar development and both were perfect for this large group with varying ages. Damaris helped us with everything from accomodations and transportation to activities. I highly recommend her if you're heading to Puerto Rico. read more

Damaris assisted us in January 2015 with our trip to Puerto Rico. She was AMAZING! From the airport transportation to suggesting (and booking) side-trips, she's a one-stop shop. Demaris handled everything timely and correctly and was very friendly. She booked the Bio Bay tour, golf and a Catamaran tour for our group, among other requests. Would HIGHLY recommend her for all your vacation planning!! read more

Damaris was extremely gracious and went well beyond any expectation we could have imagined. As an example, the first night we arrived we realized a baby monitor would be helpful. We sent a request to see if we could get one the following day. She arrived that night with exactly what we needed! We were shocked at how great she was and would highly recommend her for any vacation planning! read more
