From start to finish, Brittany offered suggestions and advice and made sure I was on track with keeping things moving forward. I bounced ideas off of her and she offered ideas I would have never thought of. She has seen so many weddings and therefore had suggestions for what would and wouldn't work for our own wedding. Not only is Brittany experienced at what she does, she is also an absolute gem of a person! Being around her instantly puts you in a good mood and I now consider her a friend. As we started planning out the wedding, we decided we also could use her skills in planning a rehearsal dinner the night before. Brittany took on the challenge and worked two long days/evenings in a row to make sure our weekend was everything we wanted and more. And it was! What a hustler! She is literally superwoman! Brittany kept us on schedule, checked in with me often, helped create a timeline that worked for us, communicated with all our vendors to make sure all the parts came together beautifully, and so much more! Many guests of mine have told me since the wedding weekend that they had wonderful interactions with Brittany and felt so welcomed the second they arrived because of her incredible hospitality. WE LOVE BRITTANY!! Event Julep was our lifeline. You won't regret hiring her! Thank you, Brittany for everything you did for us!!

Brittany is a phenomenal wedding coordinator and you should not hesitate to hire her if you have…read morethe chance. We had our wedding in Sonoma in late September 2017 and it went off incredibly smoothly in large part to Brittany's hard work, attitude, and friendly / calm demeanor. Without her guidance throughout the planning process we would have been lost. Going into our wedding day, we told Brittany the general theme / setup we had in mind and she was able to turn our thoughts into reality. She managed to keep all of the stress and details of the day away from us so we could focus on getting married and enjoying the big day with our guests. Brittany coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure they were set up properly and on time. We found out after our wedding that there were issues with some of our rentals and she took care of it (we ended up with upgraded chairs!). When the guests arrived, she kept the event flowing and was flexible when things didn't go according to plan. If it wasn't for her we'd still be at cocktail hour! Guests always knew where to go and nothing felt rushed. Several guests commented on how professional Brittany is and how smoothly the event was run. Immediately after our wedding we both couldn't believe how well it turned out and expressed how lucky we were to have found Brittany.

She was PHENOMENAL!! Camp Lucy (don't get me started) was a nightmare, and she braved everything to make our day as wonderful as it could be, under the circumstances.

I cannot begin to explain how much of a lifesaver she was! I would HIGHLY recommend Monica, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future for any big events, vow renewals, etc.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Austin Wedding Planners. We went with the wedding advisor package. We…read morefound them generally unwilling to provide opinions (I would ask questions about something and all I'd get back is "well every vendor does things differently"). They were overly pushy about preferred vendors (for instance, I heard from our venue who were contracted to provide our table settings that Austin Wedding Planners tried to get them to use one of Austin Wedding Planner's preferred vendors without talking to me about it) and they made some expensive oversights with the vendors that they'd recommended. For instance: They insisted a florist they suggested would not give us an a la carte (vs. full design) package. They did. We reached out to a florist AWP recommended with a minimum for full design. When we got that quote back it was clear they were struggling to get to that number and were suggesting more florals than we actually wanted. I saw they also offer a la carte options. I asked Rosa to ask about it. She said no, that that was only for elopements. I was really excited about them so I emailed them directly to ask if it would be an option. They immediately agreed. After I told Austin Wedding Planners the florist would do a la carte for us Rosa called me stressing out. Who would set up and break down the flowers? I said we would figure it out after our call with them. It turns out they were able to do both for a modest fee. Another instance, Austin Wedding Planners said our tenting company would not allow our venue to set up lighting in the tent. They did. I asked our venue which had string lights if they'd be able to set up lighting in our tent (our rain back up plan). The venue said yes. Rosa said no--that the tenting company wouldn't allow it. I followed up with the tenting company (who were not on the call). They said our venue could set up the lights. These two things would have cost us over $4000 if we hadn't followed up. Is it possible these vendors gave me different answers than they gave Austin Wedding Planners or they changed their policies recently? Sure. But given the premise of the advisor package is that you have a relationship with these vendors you should be getting me better deals not worse ones than if I negotiated on my own. Austin Wedding Planners have clearly been doing this for a long time and I think if you needed a day of planner this could still be a good pick for you.

From our very first call, Rosa and her team went above and beyond to make us feel heard, supported, and completely at ease. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were unmatched. Rosa's communication was impeccable -- she kept us informed every step of the way, checking in regularly with both us and our vendors to ensure everything was perfectly aligned. Thanks to her, the planning process felt seamless and genuinely enjoyable. I never once felt overwhelmed or stressed, which is something I never thought I'd be able to say about planning a wedding! Whenever we had questions, needed guidance, or just wanted reassurance, Rosa was right there with thoughtful advice and unwavering support. She truly listened to our vision, paid attention to even the smallest details that mattered to us, and made sure every single one came to life beautifully. On our wedding day, everything was absolutely flawless. The day ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and soak in every magical moment -- and that is entirely thanks to Rosa and her incredible team. They didn't just plan our wedding; they gave us the day of our dreams. We can't recommend Rosa and Austin Wedding Planners highly enough. If you're looking for a planner who will pour their heart into your special day and deliver perfection, look no further!

It's…read moreeasy to get WAY too stressed out during wedding planning and the quicker you realize that you can't do it alone, the better the whole experience will be. That's where Donna comes in. She helps with you with everything from your budget, the decor, vendor recommendations, reservations.....pretty much anything and everything you can think of. She's there for as little or as much as you need her. You might not think you need any help when you first start out, but when it gets down to the last month, there's so much to do that it's worth it to have someone there to take over. So my advice: use her from the beginning! The great thing about having Donna help out for my wedding is that my mom got to relax and not worry about making sure everything went off smoothly. This was a blessing, because having my mom relaxed helped me to be relaxed as well and I honestly didn't worry about a single thing the entire night. There wasn't a single issue all night and I know this is largely because of Donna. (Also, you'll never find anyone who can time a ceremonial procession to your music selection as perfectly as she can! Mine was flawless.) Thanks for everything Donna!!!

She was incredibly…read moreresponsive, answered all of my questions quickly, and was so patient as we fine-tuned every detail along the way. I shared a Pinterest board full of inspiration and ideas, and she put together a design proposal that incorporated so many of those images. As someone who likes to know exactly how things are going to look, it was tempting to ask for every little detail of how the inspiration would translate into the final arrangements. Instead, I trusted Cheryl's creativity and expertise to bring everything together, and I'm so glad I did. When we walked through the venue before the wedding, I was thrilled with how everything looked, and somehow it was even more beautiful on the wedding day. We intentionally kept our florals fairly minimal, using bud vases, candles, and repurposing our ceremony flowers for the reception. Even with that approach, the space felt full, elegant, and intentional--you never would have guessed we had taken a more minimalist approach. Everything was exactly as I had envisioned, and we received so many compliments on the flowers and overall design. Cheryl has an incredible eye for bringing inspiration to life, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. I would recommend Stems to any couple looking for beautiful florals and an attentive, collaborative florist.
