Karla Casillas, founder of Karla Casillas & Co., embodies the spirit of resilience and determination. Her journey into the world of wedding planning and design was sparked by a deep-seated passion for creating unforgettable moments and an appreciation for intricate details. Drawn to the beauty and joy of weddings, she embarked on a career path that allowed her to turn dreams into reality for countless couples.

In 2003, Karla founded her own company, initially focusing on wedding planning with the stunning backdrop of Los Cabos setting the stage for her events. With its natural beauty and warm hospitality, the destination serves as the perfect backdrop for Karla's business and weddings alike, offering stunning landscapes and world-class amenities for couples seeking a luxury-adventure blend for their destination wedding.

Throughout her career, Karla has witnessed the evolution of the wedding industry, embracing changes driven by technology and social media while maintaining a focus on personalized, unique experiences that reflect each couple's individuality.

In addition to running her own company, Karla also serves as the President of AFEET Baja California Sur, the local chapter of Mexico’s Women's Association of Executives of Tourism Companies. AFEET leads executive women in promoting tourism activity globally, strengthening commercial links throughout the value chain with commitment, dedication, and passion.
