About A’yesha Gaetán Collectives

A’yesha Gaetán Collectives

Full-Time Multi-Certified Wedding Planner & Travel Designer

Hi, I’m A’yesha Gaetán, founder of A’yesha Gaetán Collectives. As a Multi-Certified Wedding Planner, Certified Wedding Designer, and Travel Designer, I specialize in destination weddings and celebrations worldwide. My background includes planning events for a major global airline, over 20 years in leadership and client experience, and a Master of Science in Management & Leadership. I continually invest in certifications, industry education, and mentorship from leading wedding and travel professionals so I can provide elevated service, thoughtful guidance, and unforgettable experiences for every couple I serve.

I don’t just help couples plan weddings. I help them orchestrate experiences. My unique blend of wedding planning, travel expertise, aviation experience, and event leadership allows me to anticipate details many others overlook. From guest arrivals and room blocks to venue partnerships and celebration logistics, I focus on the entire experience, not just the wedding day. Whether you’re saying “I do” on a tropical beach, at a luxury resort, or in your hometown, my goal is to ensure you feel supported, informed, and genuinely excited throughout the journey.

In three words: Calm, Creative, Supportive

    I couldn’t do it without you!!!

    I just wanna say, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I truly couldn’t do it without you! A’yesha, you are my absolute star, you helped me organize a destination wedding in less than 2 months! You were always there for me, both in organization and in comforting when I was stressed. You were extremely patient with all my requests, changes, and hesitations. And you truly helped me and my now husband have the best day! I am so grateful for you, and I just wish everybody knew how amazing you are!

    Your Perfectly Unofficial Matron of Honor!

    A’yesha is hands down the best wedding planner you could ask for! I mean, she is literally your right hand woman! Consider her, your matron of honor, without having the matron of honor title. lol Her attention to details, preciseness, professionalism, patience and just eye for beauty is everything you never knew you wanted, but definitely needed. She sees your vision and executes to the fullest! You can not go wrong hiring her as your personal wedding planner.

    Great wedding planner

    Working with A'yesha Gaetán Collectives was an absolute pleasure from day one. From our first interaction, A'yesha's organized approach and genuine warmth made the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. What really impressed me was how she coordinated with our musician to bring in the unique songs our clients requested, ensuring their vision came to life. She kept everyone aligned throughout the process, which made a huge difference in how seamlessly our special day unfolded. Her efficient communication style meant questions were answered quickly and nothing fell through the cracks. I'd absolutely recommend A'yesha to any vendor looking for a planner who actually cares about making your event exceptional.

    Review … OMG!!! Thank you sooooooo much A’yesha!! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and it was largely due to YOU!! My wife and I were so lost, overwhelmed and feeling defeated!! Thank you for calming our anxiety and setting us on the right path. Your step by step process was easy to follow, but thank you for always being available to answer whatever additional questions we had. We could not have made our day happen, without your attention to detail and patience!! Everything was just soooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! You were an absolute pleasure to work with!! A MILLION THANK YOUS!!!!

    Steven, I had to read this twice because your words truly touched my heart. I remember how overwhelmed you and your wife were feeling, and I’m so grateful you trusted me to step in and help you find your way through it all. You both deserved to feel supported and enjoy your wedding day, and hearing that you were able to do that means so much to me. It was a joy to be part of your story and help bring your day together. Thank you both for letting me be there for you, for your kind words, and for trusting me with something so meaningful. I’ll always remember your wedding with so much love. 💗


Venue and resort coordinators play an important role, but their primary responsibility is to the venue and its operations. As your planner, my responsibility is to you. I help guide decisions, manage logistics, advocate on your behalf, coordinate vendors, support your guests, and focus on the overall experience from the beginning of the planning process through the celebration itself. Many couples find the combination of a venue coordinator and a dedicated planner creates the smoothest and most enjoyable experience possible.
Yes. I view venue coordinators and resort wedding teams as valuable partners. While their role is to represent the venue, my role is to advocate for you. I collaborate closely with venue and resort teams to help ensure communication is clear, details are aligned, and your vision is executed as intended.
Absolutely. This is one of the areas where I bring unique value. In addition to wedding planning and design, I assist with destination selection, accommodations, room blocks, guest travel logistics, and overall guest experience planning. My goal is to create a seamless experience for both you and your guests.
Yes. Professional growth and industry involvement are incredibly important to me. I serve as an Industry Advancement Director for the Certified Wedding Planner Society, the world’s largest wedding planning certification organization. In this role, I support the growth & development of wedding professionals while helping advance our industry. I regularly invest in certifications, conferences, mentorship, and continuing education from respected leaders in weddings, events, travel, and hospitality. This commitment allows me to bring current knowledge, proven best practices, valuable industry relationships, & fresh ideas to every couple I serve.
Your wedding is one of the largest investments many couples will make. Professional education helps ensure you’re working with someone who understands contracts, logistics, design principles, timelines, risk management, guest experience, and industry best practices. My commitment to continuing education allows me to provide informed guidance and elevated service throughout the planning process.
Answer: I am a Multi Certified Wedding Planner, Certified Wedding Designer, Certified Styled Shoot Coordinator, Certified Scrum Master, and hold a Bachelors From Georgia State where I focused on business and event management and also a Master of Science in Management & Leadership. I am committed to continuous education and regularly invest in industry training, conferences, and mentorship from some of the most respected wedding and travel professionals in the industry.
Yes. A’yesha Gaetán Collectives is a licensed and insured business. I believe professionalism, preparation, and protecting my clients are essential. Proof of insurance can be provided to venues and vendor partners upon request.
Many couples think the venue should be their first decision. In reality, selecting the right venue or resort is often easier when you have an experienced professional helping evaluate logistics, guest experience, budget, travel considerations, and vendor requirements. Making the right choice from the start can save significant time, money, and stress later in the planning process.
It all begins with a conversation. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your vision, priorities, guest experience goals, and overall wedding plans. From there, I’ll recommend the services and planning approach that best fit your needs.
Destination weddings are my specialty and where I truly shine. I love helping couples create unforgettable experiences that bring together the people they love in meaningful places around the world. Whether you’re dreaming of a Caribbean resort, a European escape, a tropical beach, a mountain retreat, or a stateside celebration closer to home, I help guide the entire journey. I also assist with honeymoons, wedding weekends, and guest experiences because I believe your wedding should be more than a beautiful event. It should be a memorable experience from the first invitation to the final farewell.
There are so many talented planners in this industry, which is why I continue investing in education and learning from the best. What sets me apart is my unique blend of wedding planning, wedding design, travel expertise, hospitality, and aviation experience. I focus on more than the wedding day. From guest arrivals, accommodations, room blocks, and travel logistics to design and celebration details, I help couples navigate the entire experience. I also personally visit many of the destinations I recommend and can be onsite collaborating with venue and resort teams every step of the way.
