Hiring Amy as a day-of-coordinator is the best decision regarding the wedding that I've ever made. She took charge and helped me focus on the remaining decisions that have to be made. And I truly appreciate that her suggestions are so sensible. Her rates are very reasonable and I felt that she delivered more than what's expected of a DOC.I gave her a nice tip afterwards but I really wish I could have given her more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other brides.

There aren't adequate words for how awesome Heather is and how thankful my husband and I are that…read morewe booked Vintage & Lace for our wedding last month, but here goes! We were already leaning toward hiring a coordinator but then our venue (Ma Maison) required us to have one so we contacted their entire list of preferred vendors for coordinators and we are so glad we did because that's how we found Heather from Vintage & Lace!! Of all of the planners and coordinators we talked to, I was just immediately drawn to how warm, friendly, AND organized she is. Heather is an absolute pro with countless weddings under her belt, but still so kind and easy to talk to. Then, despite planning our wedding from another city, Heather made it SO easy and smooth. We technically only booked her for day-of coordination (with full communication/access the month prior) but from day one, she was still always available via call, email, text, whathaveyou, no matter when or what kind of (ridiculous, I'm sure) questions I had. We didn't actually meet Heather in person until our rehearsal the day before our wedding, and she was an absolute ROCK STAR the entire weekend. She managed to wrangle our large wedding party (14 bridesmaids and groomsmen) and all of our family (including bilingual and non-native English speakers, as well as divorced family) with both grace and authority. It's also worth noting we had several extras (a Chinese tea ceremony before our wedding ceremony, two large shuttles to transport our guests to and from Dripping Springs, getting Whataburger delivered to our venue for a late night snack) and Heather handled EVERYTHING seamlessly. Anything I thought of or had concerns about, she handled before I even voiced them to her! If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I have no idea what it was, because Heather was ON it. She was also incredibly thoughtful and adaptable, from my mom wanting to move the cake-cutting earlier, to making sure all of our belongings were packed away and that we had plenty of snacks and drinks in our getaway car. Her day-of assistant, Jasmine, was also so helpful and sweet. They both made the entire weekend just a wonderful, fun, amazing experience where we got to fully enjoy getting married and celebrating with family and friends. I can't recommend Heather and Vintage & Lace more highly -- BOOK HER NOW! I won't say "you won't regret it," but rather, you'll regret it if you don't! Heather, thank you thank you thank you SO much for all your hard work and support in making sure our wedding was an amazing, dreamy, unforgettable experience!

Six weeks before my wedding, I panicked and contacted a multitude of wedding planners and…read morecoordinators. Due to COVID, I was exhausted from cancelling an overseas wedding and dealing with two reschedules; I could no longer handle all of the logistics. Enter Heather. She was quick to respond and schedule a meeting with me and my then fiancee to discuss details. She was calm, interested, and prepared. She assuaged my panic and let me know that 6 weeks for a 30 person wedding was easy peasy. I cannot recommend Heather enough! With my hectic work schedule, she contacted me via email as my preference. We are based in Philadelphia, and while we didn't meet until the day before the wedding, you definitely couldn't tell as everything went off without a hitch. Well if there was anything wrong during the ceremony and reception, we had no idea. She handled all of our vendors seamlessly and made everyone feel safe during the pandemic. I definitely know now that we couldn't have pulled it off without her!

Simple. Customized. Genuine…read more We really loved working with Sarah - from the very beginning, it was an easy-going process to figure out how everything worked as far as the ceremony. She met with us shortly after our engagement and after we had set a date - walked us through what a few of her ceremonies had "looked like" as well as offer the things that would make it more personal for my then-fiance' and I. What I really enjoyed about Sarah's process was that she helped us figure out what kind of ceremony we wanted (we are both religious, but opted out of getting married through the church) so we decided on a partially religious ceremony that included a welcome, a dedication from our friends and family to support our marriage, a poem read by my cousin, our own written vows, ring exchange, and because we grew up near the sea, she incorporated a special and custom Nautical/Sailor's Knot tying ceremony...which everyone LOVED. For the rehearsal and actual ceremony, she was friendly and helpful with our bridal party and family as well as accommodating when we made a last-minute change. After we got hitched, she took our marriage license and got it to the state within the week and within 2 weeks we got our official returned license! Sarah was the best fit for us - she was so great to work with as well as super organized and helpful. Not to mention she gives you options for payment as well. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a customized wedding ceremony in just about any Austin location!

It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. My husband and I were waiting patiently (with eager anticipation)…read moreat Café Medici waiting on the arrival of what hoped to be our officiant at our vow renewal. Reading 5 star after 5 star review, I had to meet her - I had to meet Sarah and there she was - this GORGEOUS woman with fire red hair and a heartwarming smile. That smile and her heavenly voice won me over in an instant. Christian and I both felt a calmness because we knew we found our gal - our conductor that would orchestrate our ceremony with ease, poise and grace. She's spunky and down to earth. Her ceremonies are authentic, natural and real - never forced or copied. She delivered our ceremony as if it was straight out of a Nicholas Spark's novel. Her heart is so full with love and it radiated throughout the day - each guest felt that presence. I couldn't imagine our day without her. She made it so magical. Our ceremony was a little bit different, this was a vow renewal. My husband is from Sweden and his family couldn't make it - or so he thought. I had secretly arranged for his family to come to surprise mid-ceremony. Sarah carried it out like. a. BOSS. We will never forget that overwhelming sense of love and shock and all thanks to you - we have that moment to look back on forever. We love you so much Sarah - you are a blessing.

From the very beginning,…read moreher approach was super thoughtful--she really listened and took the time to get to know our story, which made writing the ceremony a meaningful process. It wasn't just words on a page; it was a beautiful reflection of who we are as a couple. She's a fantastic communicator--always quick to respond and really easy to talk to--which made planning way less stressful than we expected. On the big day, her storytelling skills blew us away. She brought our story to life in a way that had everyone smiling, laughing, and even tearing up a little. If you want a ceremony that feels personal, genuine, and totally memorable, Katrina's your person. We're so grateful she was part of our day!

She came to my house and picked everything up the weekend before. Called all my vendors a few days out to make sure everyone knew where they needed to be and at what time. We only met once right after I got engaged and I knew she was the gal for me. After a short conversation I felt very comfortable that she knew exactly what I was looking for. She gave me all kinds of great tips and recommendations. Because of the venue I got married at, there was no dressing area for me to hide in, so I didn't arrive at the wedding until it was time to walk down the aisle. I hadn't seen the venue decorated until then. I could not stop looking around. She made my wedding more beautiful than I imagined it would. If she was stressed out, it didn't show. Every time she talked to me she was as cool as a cucumber. I can't sing her praises enough!

So part of my recurrent existence involves a good deal of event planning, and in my estimation,…read morethings can get pretty complicated pretty fast. Such was the situation when I recently worked with Aimee: she fills a pretty special (yet distinctly high-pressure) niche among event planners, handling lots of weddings and other personally important events, and that tends to ratchet up the pressure on any of us quite a bit. When all's said and done, however, she totally came through in the clutch for us. From where I stood, the most unexpected thing that happened during our event was the advent of some windy weather, and not much any of us who aren't conjuring Mister Freezemeister can do about that. Other than that bit of minor juggling, Aimee and her assistant deftly handled all before them so all the rest of us had to do was kick back and get silly. Something we each tend to know a little about.

Our decision to work with Reverend Bonnie was hands-down the easiest part of our wedding process…read moreand I don't think our experience could have been better. We had plans to meet with a few different folks, but meeting Bonnie over coffee, that one conversation was enough to convince us she was absolutely the person we wanted to be our officiant. On all fronts, she 'met us where we were', offered insight and suggestions when we asked for them, but was equally collaborative in the process, and just genuinely thoughtful and kind. She brought such a positive energy both in our wedding planning and especially the day of the wedding. Leaving that first meeting with her, we legit just discussed on the walk in the parking lot and had essentially made our decision by the time we reached the car. As an officiant, and honestly just as an individual, we couldn't recommend Reverend Bonnie more highly. From all we saw, atop handling her duties as an officiant with a rare balance of reverence and lightheartedness together, she just struck us as a genuinely kind person and that made the process of working together so effortless. Thank you again, Bonnie!

Unfortunately I waited almost 3 years before I write this review, but I find today is a good day to…read moredo it as I was cleaning out my inbox. In November 2013 I contacted Liv via email as I was planning to celebrate my kiddos' birthday slash housewarming in February 2014. I gave her my phone number in the email just in case she want to call me back instead of replying to an email. I was pleasantly surprised (and impressed) that she replied me practically 10 minutes later. Finally I thought I found someone who didn't take days or weeks to reply. In her reply she said she can work with me on pricing and she would provide a custom proposal. She asked what would be the best time to talk to me over the phone. We decided that she will call later that very same day. In this email she cc her co-worker Katie Krause. The next morning I realized that I never received that phone call. I'm not a selfish person, things happened especially in the event planning business. I emailed one more time, to her and Katie and told her that I can contact her instead and she could let me know the best time to do so as I'm pretty flexible. But I guess that was the end of it. I never heard back from her or this Katie that always being cc-ed on. I'm not a difficult person and I'm the kind of person who is willing to splurge especially for my kids. But to disappeared on me, is simply disrespectful and lack of people skill. If you think my 'party' was not worth your time or too cheap for you in comparison to what you could have earned if it was a wedding, you could have said so from the beginning instead of being a flake. By the way my kids ended up having the best full service party with a different event planner while me and the other grown up guests enjoy the housewarming party in the other side of the house. In all, I wouldn't recommend her service especially for something as big as a wedding. It will add unnecessary stress that you don't need. My party was small-ish (we ended up having 60 ppl in my house as opposed to 20-25 that I told her), could be the reason why she couldn't care less. Do your research. There are many event planners that will gladly take your money and give a great customer service at the same time. Good luck.

Every time I had a new idea or crazy suggestion she made it happen bigger and better than I anticipated and somehow stayed within my price point. She creates fairytales. Liv By Design just designed my dream wedding and combined all of our random ideas into one amazingly cohesive cool party. Liv is constantly looking for ways to make the event incredible; it is just her nature. The team was continually looking for new ideas for our specific black and white theme everywhere they went. I would get picture texts of new ideas from restaurants and fashion shows that we could adapt to our coming wedding. That is what makes her exceptional. She doesn't just answer your questions and give you a price. She ceaselessly searches for ways to go above and beyond the original suggestions. Her team's execution of our wedding was completely flawless. You will not be disappointed with this group. Not to mention, it's really fun to work with them. They are great company to keep. They are all easygoing and understanding individuals who are all very enthusiastic about making their events the best in the business while keeping everything exclusively tailored to your ideas and desires. I cannot thank them enough for the job they did planning my wedding. My husband and I will use them for any company party and event we have in the future and cannot wait to work with them again. They definitely bring the wow-factor.
