The princesses even gave the girls "princess lessons"! Both princesses were beautiful, acted the part and could both SING! It was so cool!! I was surprised at how great of singers they were. They encouraged positive body image and manners...all good things to hear from young women these days. I highly, highly suggest using Wish Upon a Star, whether it's for a 2 hour party or a 30 minute visit. Your child will love it! Also, Audrey told me they can cater to other types of characters if you are looking for something different and unique.

Where to begin. Shamika does not seem to have the temperament to be in this business. I hired her…read morebecause the venue, Ranch Austin promoted her. Unfortunately, she was very inflexible and at some point just tuned out. She didn't seem to be in charge during the event so, the night didn't work because all of the details fell through the cracks. By the end of the night, she was fighting with our guests. Shamika threatened to walk off the job and just sat and trash talked people the rest of the evening. A lot of people heard this at the wedding. She had one helper, also Shamika, who had a much more pleasant personality. By the other high reviews, I don't know how to interpret this, but when you spend crazy amounts of money on an event and you have your own planner working to sabotage you, it ends with the bride in tears and a lot of people leaving. Sharing gives us no pleasure, but we are compelled to put it out to other brides.

I am so happy to give High Beam a great review. Their team of professional event planners (and all…read moreof the vendors they work with) made my client's event a HUGE success. Kelsey worked with me from the beginning concept, throughout all of my client's changes, and even throughout the event itself. Her keen attention to detail, and knowledge of the event made my life so much easier. Additionally, High Beam has awesome connections with vendors in Austin. I gave Kelsey an idea of what I wanted, and she worked with me to make it happen (even at the very last minute). I HIGHLY recommend using High Beam for corporate events!

Angie thought of everything and went above and beyond to make my day as special as possible and one that I will never forget! Everyone was completely blown away by the decor, food, desserts, and party favors. I will be choosing her for every party from here on out as she's fun to work with and really takes the time to understand your individual needs and vision for your event. I also always felt like she genuinely cared about my happiness and opinion throughout the process. She made the day of the party so easy and I felt confident that everything was being put together and done correctly. I'm just so thankful for the lifelong memories she created for my family and me!

I consider myself to be an organized person, but I could have NEVER pulled off our wedding without…read moreBrittany. 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.

Lauren created and served drinks at my recent wedding, and it was a great experience. Especially…read morefor the price, you couldn't do better. She came to my house to make drinks for us to sample before choosing the menu, and she let us buy our own alcohol and ingredients ourselves - so no upcharge on the supplies. She slung drinks and made conversation with guests for hours, no problem. (And this just a few days after dealing with flooding in Wimberley.) She was also willing to stay (for a fee, of course) to do some of our post-event clean up. She's young and just starting out, so still getting her feet wet professionally. But we were pumped to give a local entrepreneur a chance and she really delivered. Recommend.

I emailed Lauren on March 7th and she emailed me back within minutes asking for date/time/location of our event. I wrote her back all the information also within minutes. A few weeks went by and I hadn't heard anything so I called and left a few voicemails and had to send another email asking why nobody has returned my calls or 3 emails and finally received a response that they were busy due to sxsw on March 22nd. I was nice and understood and waited another 3 weeks to email them and ask if they had time to talk which was also ignored. It's now been 7 days since my last email, of course nothing. I understand they might be busy but this is just ridiculous. Nobody is that busy to not return a simple email. Don't recommend this company at all.

Colleen worked our wedding and was very easy to work with and friendly.

The reception was a blast! She took requests from the guests and played a good mix and slow and fast songs. We had a great time and would definitely recommend them to any couple!
