About this Vendor
Unique Stories, co-founded by Cristina Meilán and Jessica Celi, specializes in personalized wedding planning for destination weddings across Mexico. With over six years of experience in the wedding industry and a strong background in hospitality, Cristina and Jessica seamlessly blend professionalism with creativity to craft unforgettable celebrations. Their expertise is especially rooted in South Asian weddings, where attention to cultural details is key to creating meaningful experiences.
What sets Unique Stories apart is their dedicated team of professional wedding planners who have worked together for years. This close-knit team, united by friendship and a shared passion for weddings, ensures consistency, meticulous attention to detail, and exceptional service for every event they plan.
To provide a truly personalized experience, each couple is assigned two dedicated wedding planners, ensuring a smooth planning process and prompt, attentive communication. Valuing quality over quantity, Unique Stories limits their calendar to no more than two weddings per month, and sometimes just one, allowing them to focus deeply on each couple’s unique vision.
Every wedding they plan is fully customized, reflecting the couple’s individual style, budget, and taste. Cristina, Jessica, and their team love listening to their couples’ inspirations and ideas, guiding them thoughtfully to bring those dreams to life. While stunning décor is often the highlight of wedding photos, their priority is to maximize the couple’s budget effectively and create unforgettable memories for the couple, their families, and their guests.
At Unique Stories, wedding planning isn’t just about events—it’s about creating lifelong memories, building meaningful connections, and enjoying every moment of the journey from start to finish.

I don’t even know where to begin with Cristina and her amazing team at Unique Stories! They brought our destination wedding visions to life, immersing themselves in every detail to ensure it was everything we wanted—and more.
We started working with Cristina about a year before our events, and having that time to plan with her was a game-changer. She’s kind, patient, and unbelievably sweet—I truly felt like I was working with a best friend throughout the whole process. Cristina and her team are not only lovely but also incredibly experienced with South Asian weddings. Honestly, they knew more about the Hindu ceremony and its details than I did!
Cristina, Jessica, and Regina made what could’ve been a stressful process feel SO smooth and dare I say—FUN! My experience was so pleasant and memorable that I actually miss wedding planning because Cristina made it such an amazing journey.
If you’re looking for the perfect team to plan your dream destination wedding, look no further. Cristina and her team are the most professional, well-rounded, and experienced individuals you could ever hope to work with. I will recommend them over and over again.
P.S. I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!

Cristina, Jessica, Regina, and Sandra played a huge role in making our wedding week the best week of our lives. Their attention to detail, prompt responses to all our inquiries, and valuable recommendations—rooted in their extensive experience with Indian weddings—helped bring our dream wedding to life.
Every single request we had to make this one of the most memorable events of our lives was met perfectly, thanks to this incredible team. Cristina’s exceptional communication stood out; she kept us in the loop throughout the entire process and even coordinated directly with our bridal party and family both before and during the wedding week.
The team also served as a pivotal liaison between us, the vendors, hotel management, and restaurants, making our lives so much easier. If you’re looking to have an enjoyable, stress-free wedding week, I can’t recommend Cristina and her wonderful team enough.
My wife and I are beyond grateful for everything they did—we truly couldn’t have asked for a better team!

Cristina and her team are awesome! We hired them as our wedding planners for our Punjabi/Gujarati wedding in September 2023 at Moon Palace Cancun, which included a Haldi, Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception. From start to finish, Cristina and her team worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life, ensuring every detail was exactly how we imagined.
During the wedding weekend, we had four dedicated team members supporting us, each focused on making sure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail was incredible, and they handled every aspect with care and professionalism.
Choosing Cristina and her team was one of the best decisions we made! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without their hard work and dedication.
Thank you, team, for making our special day truly unforgettable!

We hired Unique Stories in 2021 when we originally planned to have our wedding in 2022; however, we had to change our date to 2023. Through it all, Cristina and her team were supportive from start to finish.
They knew our budget and worked with it, but at the same time knew the things I really wanted and still made sure we got all the quotes we asked for. I cannot thank them enough—they were by far the best vendor we hired, and I would not have gotten through without the team.
Cristina and Jessica were amazing in setting up meetings, making sure communication was always there—just a message away. Regina was my bridal assistant for the weekend, and she was an absolute treasure. From helping to steam my outfits to making sure I was fed, she was incredible.
Dana from her team was such a sweet soul in making reels for us that were so cute. Cristina and Jessica always listened to my ideas and would present thoughtful ideas of their own.
From planning our site visit to the wedding and even following up with us afterward, I cannot recommend them enough. I had a completely stress-free weekend because of them and had so much fun planning thanks to this amazing team.
The best planning team out there.
