Penzi Weddings and Events with Guadalupe Alvarez (visit their site here)
Guadalupe Alvarez is the founder and creative talent behind Penzi, a leading wedding planning and event design company in Mexico. Originally from San Miguel de Allende, Guadalupe studied Communications at The Nuevo Mundo University in Mexico City. Her strong belief in showcasing the beauty of this magical colonial town in Central Mexico, combined with her extensive background in event and product production, makes her one of Mexico's most innovative event producers.
Before beginning her career in wedding planning and event design, she had established herself in the world of product production and design. For 25 years, Alvarez ran and owned her own housewares company, producing goods for clients in the US and European markets. Through these experiences, she gained a significant understanding and love of designing environments in a way that was internationally appealing, regardless of where her clients were from. She later co-founded Mary Jane Bags, one of the premier suppliers of unique oilcloth bags, where she was in charge of design and production.
She is also a mother of two and bilingual world traveler, whose trip to Kenya more than 7 years ago gave her the name, inspiration and vision for Penzi, which means love or desire in Swahili. Based in San Miguel, her passion and vision for creating unique and extraordinary experiences for her clients shines through in her distinctive style and design. Her style and vision is what makes Penzi unique, and she continues to remain a top wedding planner and designer by studying with the industries' best, including celebrity event planner Preston Bailey.
Guadalupe's ability to remain cutting-edge relies on her belief that her clients are unique and distinct, and that their events should showcase that. From traditional Mexican decor complete with papel picado and colorful table designs to a more formal classic American wedding, Alvarez and her team are committed to bringing you your day and your vision.
