Welcome to
Alma Event Planner

Where magic happens and memories are crafted with love! We're not just event planners; we're a husband and wife team, high school sweethearts, infusing over 14 years of passion into the art of creating unforgettable moments in the event planning industry.

Our journey started 13 years ago in Argentina, and since then, we've been on a mission to turn dreams into reality. In 2016, we made it official, tying the knot and embarking on a new chapter. Our team expanded with the arrival of our little princess, Sophia, two years later, and the fun multiplied when Tomas joined us three years after that.

Coming from a background in the hospitality world, our family owns banquet halls all over the world. This cool history seeps into how we do events – whether it's a small intimate event to a 300+ gala, we see each one as a chance to throw in some magic and make memories that stick around.

Jannina Martinez

Founder

Hey there, I'm Jan, and you could say I was born into the enchanting world of events. Growing up in a family dedicated to event organization with venues worldwide, I've been soaking in the magic since day one.

Armed with a Bachelors in International Business and certified as a professional wedding planner in Florida, I've turned my passion into a lifelong journey. Weddings, for me, are not just events—they're a canvas for crafting stories, and I'm here to turn each celebration into an unforgettable expierence.

So, if you're looking for someone to infuse creativity, love, and a touch of magic into your special day, that's where I come in. Let's turn your wedding dreams into a breathtaking reality!

Co-Founder

Hi everyone! I'm Kevin, and my journey into the world of weddings is a bit of a plot twist. Unlike Jan, I didn't start with dreams of wedding planning. Nope, my childhood dreams involved being a professional soccer player—until I crossed paths with Jan in 2005. Let's just say, her passion for weddings is contagious!
I took a bit of an unconventional route to get here. Starting from the bottom, I dabbled in everything from waiting tables to wielding sushi knives and mixing drinks as a bartender. If there was a job in the industry, you name it, I've probably done it. Those were the days of soaking in knowledge and gaining a hands-on understanding of every aspect.
So, if you're wondering who's handling the behind-the-scenes logistics and making sure everything runs like clockwork, that's me!

Jan is a wonder! 

She and her team are the absolute best. My oldest daughter was married on 1/14/23. We were not organized at all and she whipped us into shape. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. The entire wedding party commented on how amazing she was. My youngest daughter told me she HAD to have her for her wedding as well after about an hour of seeing her in action! She handled everything and anything thrown at her and all we did was… enjoy the special day! Thank you Jan! (I’ll be calling you very soon! ;)

Absolutely amazing

From the first phone call, to rehearsal, to wedding day & everything in between, Jan and her team have been the best ever. Jan is extremely organized, knowledgeable and experienced and it helped so much to know we were making the right decisions with her guidance. She helped with every detail, small to big, had great recommendations for vendors (including which packages we should choose based on what we needed and our budget). On wedding day they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They made sure everyone stayed on track and in place, even making sure I always had something to eat or drink. Jan made this such a beautiful and stress-free experience. It really helped me enjoy my wedding planning process because I knew the whole time I could trust her with the wedding of my dreams. I am beyond grateful for Jan & her team. Thank you times a million!
