Lauren Theisen coordinated our four-day wedding weekend in the Texas Hill Country. If she ever decides not to work weddings, she could easily be a surgeon on the front lines of some war zone. She was cool, calm and collected all weekend. It was only when we got back from our honeymoon, did we hear about all these last-minute issues she seamlessly handled without our notice. The only con was trying to keep the groomsmen from hitting on the smoking hot blonde. Bella Flora also handled the florals, lighting, décor and furniture rentals. I really cannot say enough about their professionalism and the gorgeous quality of their work. Cesar answered my far too long emails quickly and thoroughly. The entire team just went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely taken care of - which we did! It's like hiring a personal concierge for your event. Enough research, you're done looking. They are, quite simply, the greatest team available.

Thanks for making my proposal special!

Alex ATE on every detail when planning my wedding. From our very first conversation, I knew Alex was the perfect match for me. Working with her felt less like working with a planner and more like planning a wedding with a best friend. She was warm, intuitive, and completely in tune with my vision, even when I wasn't always sure how to articulate it. She made me feel heard, supported, and excited. What truly set Alex apart was her unwavering availability and calm presence. Whether it was a late-night text about the venue or a last-minute call to ease my nerves, she was always there. Her calm energy and confidence made me feel like everything was under control. And on the big day? Absolute perfection. I later found out that there had been issues with the tablecloths, but Alex handled everything so seamlessly that I had no idea anything went wrong. She protected my peace that day like it was her top mission, and I am forever grateful. Alex also helped me build an amazing team of vendors. From florals to catering to videography, every single recommendation was spot-on and aligned perfectly with my style and budget. I genuinely felt surrounded by professionals who cared deeply about making our day special, and that's 100% thanks to her guidance. I've already recommended Virtuous Endeavors to all my friends, and I'll continue to rave about them to anyone who'll listen. If you want someone who's organized, responsive, thoughtful, and feels like a trusted friend from day one, ask for Alex Adams. You won't just get a planner... you'll get a partner and a true wedding day planning BEAST.

She is truly amazing. Lynn's services are very affordable. The quality of service is superb. She has lots of experience, professional connections, and great ideas for your special day. She took care of every aspect of the wedding planning. Lynn was easy to get in touch with, very flexible, and professional. If i ever got nervous she calmed me down. Because I am so busy running a business and going to school, Lynn spoke mostly with my mother (who lives in Pennsylvania). Over long distance communication she executed everything perfectly. Lynn takes ownership of the wedding preparations and personally oversees the day (ceremony and reception). She handled emergency situations behind the scenes so well that we had no idea as the whole day turned out beautifully, finding out later how she had to hustle because a serious vendor problem had to be dealt with. Lynn is a wedding planner who gives not just 110% but 120%. She is a hidden gem in this crazy wedding world and you would be so lucky to have her! Thank you Lynn for making our months long journey to the alter so easy.

I reached out to Dallas Palms via email on April 10, 2025, to share our concerns privately. As of…read moreApril 22, there has been no response, so I am posting this review to help inform other couples. We held our wedding on March 29, 2025, with over 500 guests, including many who traveled from out of state and internationally. While the celebration was memorable in many ways, it was due largely to the hard work of our family and the patience of our guests. Unfortunately, there were several issues with the venue that significantly impacted our experience. * Venue Access: We were promised full use of the Bellaire room, but only received access to half due to construction. We were not made aware of the final changes until the day of the event. This impacted layout and vendor setup, leading to unexpected additional costs. * Power Accessibility: Several electrical outlets were not functioning, creating complications for our vendors. * Restroom Conditions: Restrooms were not cleaned or maintained during the event and lacked hot water. Multiple guests brought this to our attention. * Weather Contingency: A tent was discussed in early planning as a complimentary option in the event of rain. We were later told--one day before the wedding--that it would cost $10,000 and had to be arranged a week in advance. Unfortunately, it rained during the event, and no coverage was provided. * Safety Concerns: During the rainstorm, staff began mopping the floors while guests sought shelter, and no wet floor signs were posted. This created safety concerns. * Seating Plan Issues: A detailed seating chart and layout were sent via email and reviewed during our walkthrough. On the wedding day, the plan was not followed. When we asked for clarification, the coordinator - Cathy, said she never received it, despite email confirmation on March 11th. * A/V Services: We paid $811 for six TVs to display our short film and seating plan. The TVs were non-functional during the event, and the on-site technician was not present. We were informed for the first time that our external DJ was expected to manage the venue's equipment, which was not part of the agreement. * Security and Staffing: We were told there would be two security officers, but only one was present. Several tables, including key family seating, were missing. The day-of coordinator, Cathy - was unavailable at critical times, and our family had to step in to support logistics during the storm. We paid over $35,000 and took many steps to confirm details in advance, including sending a comprehensive planning booklet and email follow-ups. Despite that, the event day was marked by disorganization and unfulfilled commitments. Our wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. We had hoped for a smooth and professional experience. I'm sharing this review so others can make informed decisions when selecting a venue for such an important occasion. (Please check Google Reviews if you'd like to see supporting videos)

I'm writing this as a family member who helped plan a wedding at Dallas Palms on March 29, 2025…read more Despite paying over $35,000 and planning for months, the venue fell short in major ways--limited access to the space we were promised, dirty restrooms, broken A/V, and poor communication. Half the event was held outside, and when it rained, there was no contingency plan. The owner's only solution was to tell our guests--many of whom flew in from around the world--to go home. We reached out privately and never received a response. I hope this helps others make an informed decision.

I continued following up and waited 72 hours to receive an email stating my date was available and to send pictures of the flower arrangements I wanted. I did this immediately and never heard back. I continued calling and emailing with no response. Today, I received an email stating the day was no longer available. Very disappointed in the customer service as it is now May 31st and I do not have a flower vendor for my wedding. I do not recommend this floral company based on my experience.

Beware brides!

WOW! I cannot thank Jess enough for all she did for me and my wedding. From day one of meeting I…read moreknew she was the perfect fit for what I needed. She kept me calm and grounded, never stressed me out, never said I was asking too much, and did anything and everything I needed. We met many times throughout the process (sometimes just to chat) and the emails were endless. She never stopped working hard for me. She was flexible with my budget and schedule. The day of my wedding Jess was given a daunting task of setting up my very specific and detailed wedding, as well as making sure all the vendors showed up on time. With the help of her husband and friend she hired on, my wedding was perfect! I owe it all to Jess and can undoubtedly say that she is the best of the best in the business. You will not regret hiring Jess for your wedding!

My husband and I hired Donnie to be the decorator for our wedding, and due to all of the problems…read morewith him and the eventual failure on his part to provide services, my husband documented everything, a portion of which, I have provided below. Donnie Brown, the man who was on WFAA Channel 8 News for creating a 2 million dollar wedding dress and currently has a full page ad in the most recent edition of Modern Luxury Weddings Dallas, has officially committed fraud with respect to our wedding. Our wedding was on Saturday, October 19th. Donnie did not provide nearly $10,000 worth of services, and the day after our wedding he had the nerve to charge our account almost $500 without our authorization. Meaning that he kept our payment information on file without our knowledge or authorization. His assistant at the time, Heather Bradford, took our payment information and did not properly secure our financial information allowing him to have free access to our account at any time. I texted and called her multiple times to give her a chance to tell her story. She will not respond. We are already refuting this and will be taking legal action against both of them, but please read on for the whole story. I documented each red flag as they occurred in order to keep an accurate timeline. Also, for the accusations provided below we either have hard proof in emails, text, phone logs and pictures or we have a witness to the event. I thought Donnie was difficult to deal with but would still deliver on his contractual obligations, not break his contract and steal money out of our account. If you want someone who is trustworthy and transparent, Donnie Brown is NOT who you want to deal with. Donnie will make you feel as if he is adding tremendous value when in reality he is really a con man. On several occasions he has lied to us but we had paid soooo much money already that I politely continued to deal with him to make sure that our wedding would still come together as envisioned. One of the hardest things to do is to continue to deal with someone who is swindling you out of money and you know it especially for such an important day- at the end of the day making my future wife happy was my top priority. After our reception and when we got home, I letHeather and Donnie know that we will be taking legal action for services not rendered. If it wasn't for our venue coordinator (TJ Land with the Room on Main), our wedding planner (Carol Hampton with The Date) and our florist (Michele Rochon), who all pulled together and each did work that was well beyond what we had compensated them for, to make up for Donnie's failures and ensure that our day was still incredible, it would've been a disaster. Also, because Donnie screwed up sooo badly, he is banned from doing any business in any of the venues associated with our venue. The day after our wedding he charged an additional $478 to our account without our authorization. Now he has committed fraud. We obviously have the reception well documented and the actual contract, so it is easy to see what contractual obligations he did not fulfill. We are already refuting our payments. If you have ever thought about doing business with Donnie Brown, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. And if you are already working with him, request an itemization of your bill. This is a man that has zero ethics, zero professionalism and is willing to even steal money from his clients.

Brides beware hired…read moretheir service over a year before my wedding date, gave them a specific vision and a strict budget, was told it would not be a problem, that everything could be done and well within my budget. Let's just say, 5 weeks before my wedding handed, they handed me a bill for almost 3 times my budget, but had been asking for my budget for my food and Decor for 5 plus months prior to this, my mom finally had to call the club and get pricing since Donnie, and his team would not. Nightmare from beginning to end, chose a venue in September based on .......we were told the grounds was going to be leveled so we could have the outdoor wedding we wanted. Wedding planners went MIA over November through Jan, then we finally did have our meeting in mid FEB, 2 and half months before me wedding date, was told at this meeting, that the flowers designer had quit ( the most important thing to me and was stated from beginning) and that the club , which was suppose to start construction in October and be finished in Jan, was not going to level the ground and never started construction. Donnie came to this meeting with no other solutions to the problem, and I was told that it is what it is......mind you, still no budget given to us even though we had already met with the club on all wedding details in October. It continues.....wanted cake balls in the shape of a wedding cake, like a tower of cake balls. Donnie's team recommended a cake vendor, I asked Donnie's team before my appt, if they were sure this vendor did the cake ball tower I wanted, was told yes, they do everything. Well....Got to the cake tasting and guess what, he didn't do cake ball cakes, and the vendor actually ended up helping us, he called around to find a vendor that met my needs. Never got to do a cake tasting because of this mix up. I have numerous unanswered emails that had to be followed up by texts or phone calls. I had to ask a million questions as the monthly itinerary that was given to me, was not be followed by Donnie's team. The communication was minimal and the information was false. Donnie and his team are not professional and brides, you will work harder than if you didn't hire a wedding planner. I don't usually write reviews but Donnie and his team were so awful and almost destroyed my wedding, I don't wish this experience for any bride and groom......it is really hard to describe the numerous let downs Donnie and his team made my family and I go through. I was not a bridezilla, just had a vision and a budget and was told everything could happen, not one of those things did happen.....the tears, the worry, the stress, and the heartbreak were too much....and the fact that they handed me a bill that was going to be almost 3 times by budget was to much to bear. Please beware, truly a nightmare.
