Elegant Garden Wedding at the Royal Palms

Melika & Manti’s wedding day was a true reflection of who they are—intentional, deeply rooted in love, and effortlessly beautiful. Every detail felt personal, woven together with meaningful cultural elements that honored their story in a way that was both authentic and elevated. It wasn’t just a celebration—it was an experience that felt entirely their own.


Their ceremony in the Allegria Garden was heartfelt and serene, setting the tone for everything that
followed. Dinner in the orange grove was pure magic—warm, inviting, and filled with laughter. And once the music started, the dance floor stayed packed all night long. The entire day felt easy, joyful, and so genuinely them—the kind of celebration you never want to end.


“Lead Planner Alicia — The Best Planner Ever!!

Jstarr stood out to us due to Jennifer’s and Alicia’s kindness and value of their packages compared to the other wedding planning companies we met with, but we had no idea just how valuable this team would be! Our lead planner Alicia helped plan a wedding for us this March at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa. Alicia was more like a helpful friend supporting us the whole way than just a planner. Alicia is so calm under pressure and very attentive to tiny details that you don’t even think about. There is so much that goes into planning a wedding and she really helped dial us in and advise us on what to focus on at what time. Alicia truly cared about making our wedding a magical day for us and she really did just that! Our experience with Jstarr was nothing but positive and we will never forget how helpful the whole team was on the wedding day. They helped me handle small things that would come up with such ease and let me focus wholeheartedly on being present with my husband and family. We can’t thank Alicia and the team enough and would truly recommend to anyone!”
