Arzón in Love
A bold celebration of love, sisterhood, and secrecy—crafted with heart and high-level coordination.
overview
In 2017, I co-produced aan unforgettable 5-day surprise bachelorette experience in Mexico for my close friend—a top Peloton instructor—with one major twist: she had no idea it was happening. What began as an idea became a multi-layered surprise involving 16 guests (including three other Peloton instructors), carefully crafted messaging, fake itineraries, and seamless coordination. The goal? A luxurious, intentional, heart centered, completely secret celebration that she’d never forget.
What unfolded was an intricately orchestrated celebration filled with love, laughter, and layered logistics.
Behind the Magic / The Master Plan
How do you:
Convince a high-profile instructor to travel without knowing the reason?
Get buy-in from Peloton and Adidas for the decoy
Secretly coordinate 16 guests’ travel and communication
Build a believable itinerary to ensure the guest of honor packed properly
Create a cohesive 5-day experience from excursions to memorable dinning for multiple diets styles
Manage on-site needs, surprises, and group dynamics
Design an itinerary, dress code, brand tie-in, and multi-day celebration that’s unforgettable and completely under wraps?
The Approach
Created a believable faux “influencer trip” theme to keep the guest of honor in the dark.
Coordinated secret planning with her assistant, Peloton, Adidas, and her husband.
Crafted a visually-rich itinerary that blended beach vibes, luxury, and personal meaning.
Personalized packing prompts disguised as brand asks (think “you might want heels for one of the dinners”).
Designed a 4-night, 5-day schedule including welcome events, excursions, beach time, intimate dinners (including an all-white soirée), and curated gift bags.
Managed group dynamics and logistics onsite for a seamless guest experience.
