Tres Chic Planners is the result of a mother and daughter discovering a shared passion for celebration — and realizing it could become something much bigger.
“We’re a mother and daughter team with over 13 years of experience in the wedding industry. We started out by helping friends plan their special celebrations, and soon realized it was something we were truly passionate about.”
What began as helping loved ones evolved into a full-scale planning studio known for precision, warmth, and thoughtful design.
“We’re both very detail-oriented and organized, and what we love most is being part of our clients’ family history helping create memories that last a lifetime.”
That sense of family is woven into everything they do. For Edith and Stella, weddings are not just events — they are chapters in someone’s legacy.
After more than a decade in the industry, their excitement hasn’t faded.
“The rush and excitement of each event!”
That’s what continues to inspire them.
They thrive on the dynamic nature of wedding planning — the constant movement between creative vision and logistical execution.
“We love meeting new couples, creating meaningful connections, managing all the logistics, and that incredible feeling of accomplishment when everything comes together perfectly.”
It’s this balance between emotional connection and structured coordination that defines their approach.
At Tres Chic Planners, individuality is non-negotiable.
“We believe every wedding should be a true reflection of the couple, never a ‘copy-paste’ event.”
For Edith and Stella, personalization goes beyond décor. It’s about storytelling through atmosphere, flow, and intentional details.
We love weddings filled with thoughtful details and personal touches.
Each celebration begins with listening — understanding who the couple is, what matters to them, and how they want their day to feel.
From there, the design unfolds organically.
The duo offers comprehensive planning support tailored to each couple’s unique needs.
“We handle every aspect of the planning process, offering fully personalized packages tailored to each couple’s specific needs.”
No two events follow the same blueprint.
“No two weddings are ever the same, and that’s what keeps our work so exciting.”
Their hands-on approach ensures constant communication — not only with couples but with vendors as well.
“We take a very personal and hands-on approach, maintaining constant communication with both our clients and vendors. This ensures a smooth process and an event that truly represents the couple’s vision.”
That consistency is especially crucial when navigating complex logistics.
Panama offers a remarkable variety of wedding settings — and Tres Chic Planners embraces them all.
“Destination weddings in Panama hold a special place in our hearts, not only do we get to design beautiful celebrations, but we also have the opportunity to showcase the beauty of our country.”
From coastal elegance to urban sophistication, the possibilities are endless.
“We work at a wide variety of venues across Panama, but some of our favorites include Buenaventura Resort, Panama Viejo, and several beautiful hotels in Panama City.”
Each location offers its own character — whether it’s the colonial ruins of Panama Viejo or the luxury resort ambiance of Buenaventura.
Remote destinations, however, come with their own set of challenges.
“Weddings in remote locations can be logistically challenging — they require meticulous coordination, detailed planning, and excellent communication with vendors and guests.”
But for Edith and Stella, those challenges are part of the reward.
“The results are always worth it!”
When it comes to budgeting, the team focuses on clarity and intention.
“We always encourage couples to identify their priorities and non-negotiables first — that becomes the foundation for smart and meaningful spending decisions.”
Rather than spreading resources thinly, they guide couples toward thoughtful investment.
The result? Celebrations that feel intentional rather than excessive.
After 13 years of experience, their advice is refreshingly straightforward.
Trust your wedding planner and your vendors — we are your best allies!
Open communication is the cornerstone of a smooth experience.
“Open communication and teamwork make the entire process so much smoother (and more enjoyable).”
And for those starting a business of their own, they share wisdom shaped by experience.
“Start small and grow gradually. Build relationships with fellow vendors, learn from those with more experience, and always trust your instincts.”
Not every partnership will be the right fit — and that’s okay.
“Not every client will be the right fit, and that’s okay.”
When asked about their dream wedding settings, their love for history and romance shines through.
“In Panama, we absolutely love Panama Viejo, the historic ruins of the old city make for such a magical backdrop.”
The dramatic stone ruins create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and grand.
Internationally, their aspirations stretch toward Europe.
We dream of planning weddings in Italy or Greece, both offer breathtaking scenery and timeless romance.
It’s easy to imagine their signature personalized touch set against Mediterranean coastlines or historic Italian villas.
At the heart of Tres Chic Planners is something rare — a partnership built not only on professionalism, but on family.
With over 13 years of experience, Edith and Stella Abadi continue to design weddings that are:
deeply personal
meticulously organized
emotionally meaningful
beautifully executed
Because for them, wedding planning isn’t just about creating a stunning day.
It’s about honoring a couple’s story.
Celebrating family.
And crafting memories that last a lifetime.
