Event Coordinating and Planning

AR Lifestyle Designs is here to help you in anyway you need. Planning an event can be stressful, therefore we take the stress out of it to solely make it wonderful.

We will customize a package for you based on your needs. This can be a one-time meeting consultation, partial planning, full planning, planning and coordinating, or just day-of-coordination. Whatever it is you need to help plan your dream!

AR Lifesytle Designs is a company I created to help brides outside the Reception and Banquet Halls. AR standing for Alvarez-Recio, is a play on words to sound like 'our'. Because for your wedding you want your planner to have your lifestyle, as you are creating a new life with your partner, along with your design concept in mind. Hence, 'Our' Lifestyle Designs! Now a little about the planner...

My name is Jacquelyn Alvarez-Recio, but everyone calls me Jackie. Since I was a little girl I have had a love for designing. I would sketch up room designs, floor plans, even wedding dresses! This love lead me to study Interior Design from a magnet high school onto University and achieve a Bachelors of the Arts. During design school, I began to work for Aqua Reception Hall in Miami, Florida planning and designing events. My specialty quickly became Weddings! I am lucky to have found a career that uses my love of design with the profound experience of helping someone plan their special day.
