An Emotional First Look in the Salon Martorell


Before the ceremony, Jarely and Etienne chose to share a private and intimate moment—a first look in the beautiful Salon Martorell. This elegant space, adorned with rich historic details, was the perfect backdrop for their tender exchange. As Jarely approached Etienne, his reaction was filled with emotion, making for a breathtaking series of moments that perfectly captured their love and excitement. The first look not only calmed pre-ceremony nerves but also gave the couple time to connect and cherish the significance of the day ahead.

The day unfolded seamlessly under the expert guidance of Tatiana from Mia Eventos. From coordinating vendors to ensuring every detail was flawless, Tatiana turned the couple’s vision into reality, allowing them to focus on celebrating their love.


The decor, curated by Eclectik Events, was nothing short of breathtaking. With timeless floral arrangements, elegant lighting, and personalized touches, the space reflected Jarely and Etienne’s sophisticated style. The reception hall was transformed into an enchanting setting that felt intimate yet grand.

Jarely looked radiant, with her hair and makeup styled to perfection by H&M By Paris. Her timeless beauty was complemented by Etienne’s sharp attire, and together, they were a vision of love and happiness.

Music was at the heart of this celebration. Cuerdas a la N set the tone with a stunning performance during the ceremony and cocktail hour, creating an elegant and romantic ambiance. When it was time to hit the dance floor, Steven Negron from Revolution Sound DJ kept the energy alive, ensuring guests danced the night away.



The first glimpse into the wedding’s aesthetic came through the elegant invitations and stationery designed by Liliweds. Their work perfectly set the tone for the timeless and romantic celebration that followed.



Every fleeting moment of joy and love was beautifully captured. The talented team at Amorfosis documented the day through video, while we had the honor of photographing the laughter, tears, and celebrations. These memories will forever tell the story of Jarely and Etienne’s love.
