We worked with them for about a year and a half, and they were so patient, open minded, and incredibly detail oriented the entire time. They really listened to what we wanted while also keeping us organized, on track, and making sure everything still felt elevated and classy. Katie and her team were always there to answer all of our questions and truly became our biggest advocates throughout the entire planning process. They even took the time to get to know our parents, which meant so much to us, and helped build trust with them along the way. It made the whole experience feel seamless and supported for everyone involved. They also went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect. Katie and her team helped us find venues that weren't even on our original list and somehow just knew what would be the right fit for us. Katie has this amazing ability to light up a room and make you feel confident in every decision you're making together, which is honestly one of the best things you could ask for in a wedding planner. What meant the most to us was how much effort Katie and her team put into understanding all of our wedding rituals. Having an Indian wedding, this was really important to us, and they took the time to learn, respect, and execute everything so thoughtfully. It made us feel so seen and taken care of throughout the entire process. Katie and her team really went above and beyond with every detail that went into our wedding. I remember people asking me if I was nervous, and I would always say no because I fully trusted Katie and her team to pull off the best wedding weekend possible, and that is exactly what they did. They helped us build our dream team of vendors, and everything came together so seamlessly because of them. Anytime someone asks about our wedding weekend, we always say it exceeded our expectations and that is all thanks to Katie and her team. Could not recommend As You Wish more!

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)

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'm probably one of the only grooms writing a review for this amazing wedding planning team, but they deserve a shoutout because they're all rockstars. My wife and I started planning our wedding with the Stardust team in 2019 with our wedding originally scheduled for 2020. COVID happened and so it got pushed out to 2021. This meant that we worked closely with the Stardust team for 2 whole years, and they kept us organized (but most importantly calm) throughout the entire process. Laura was our Lead planner, and she is highly efficient, communicative, organized, basically everything you'd want in a wedding planner. She answered all of our questions throughout all kinds of odd hours and helped us bring the wedding vision we had in our mind to reality. It's also important to note that my wife bought her wedding dress here as well, and she looked stunning on wedding day :) If any couple is looking for a wedding planner to plan their perfect wedding, look no further, you got the best in this team.

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.

If you don't have at least $10,000 to spend with them, they don't care about you. We spent time going through the showroom with Cindy, meeting her at a storage facility because her space got flooded (not sure I believe that), and spent countless hours texting back-and-forth regarding what our expectation was and what we paid for. Come the day of our wedding, and what they deliver is not at all what we agreed upon. Well, it's our wedding, so what are we supposed to do but make the best of it in the moment? We reach out to Cindy the next day and ask to discuss the misses. She pushes us off until next week, because she is working on another wedding. Nice of her to show up to someone else's wedding but not ours. I guess we didn't pay her enough for her appearance fee. We get on the phone with Cindy the next week and explain to her all of the things that were done incorrectly (wrong arch, pipe cleaners exposed, poles and bases exposed, no one checks in/out with us at the venue, etc.). Cindy proceeds to tell us that we are misremembering all of the conversations that we had and that we should have contacted her when we noticed something was wrong. On our wedding day, this lady wants us to call her. Excuse me. What a joke. We're supposed to stop walking down the aisle to call her and say her work is subpar. Absolutely zero accountability from someone that got paid to provide a service. Save yourself the time, effort, headache, and lies. Work with someone else. Cindy and her husband are only in it for your money. They don't care about you.

RUDE RUDE RUDE! Do not waste your time! They broadcast weddings and do a great job but in all…read morereality it is not for American Weddings at all. This is an ETHNIC wedding decorator who is use to ethnic brides willing to dump at minimum $20,000. Note: this place was my top pick until I walked in saw the inventory and MET CINDY! Now where to start? Arrival. I had a 12p appointment I was early 11:45a was greeted. At 12p another car pulls up and she starts working with them on MY appointment time. Was told to have a seat while she shows this guy (who is already under contract) their inventory. She also mentions to me that they were late for their appointment. ON TOP of them showing up after me and then you take them in on my appointment time. It's a problem. At the beginning of the meeting after I had time to look around. First question I asked was this company focuses more on ethnic weddings. She said it's a 60/40 split. And proceeds to showing me "American" weddings. But use who they were marrying??? SOOOOO the wedding was still ethnic based. I was already lost. Before going to this location I advised that I had a budget of $2000-5000 for a simple 8 arrangement ceremony. Was told she needs $10,000 to work with. Mind you there was nothing in their inventory in my colors. Everything was gold. Hence ETHNIC weddings. It was clear that she had a base amount at $10,000 to do business which should have been said and I wouldn't have wasted my gas. Before looking at my "vision" as she asked me to send her. She was like you need $10,000 so I can work with that. I asked how would she know because if it wasn't MY wedding I could easily pull this off in $3-5000 including labor. But since it's my wedding I don't want to do any leg work. She said what I'm paying for is expertise. Now I know she full of it. She didn't at all look at what I was looking for before trying to quote a price. I was told that her brides easily spend $10-120,000 with her. Mind you THEY ARE GOLD MARATHON ETHNIC WEDDINGS. Any who. The woman "Cindy" was very rude and rushed me into making decisions. Only seemed to be wanting my money at this point. After we looked at her inventory, I asked for specific things in silver. She snapped and basically told me it was ugly and to change my wedding colors to use their GOLD items. Since when don't silver and white go together? But ok. So anyways she begins rushing me into paying. I brought the cash needed on the amount that was told to me over the phone. Which was not what she honored. I attempted to give cash. She told me to zelle the money and whatever payment I started with I would have stick with. Sounds pretty shady. So when I didn't have the cash amount based on the $10,000. She asked me how much money do I have. And then asked me if EVEN had money in my account. Are you serious?! Very unprofessional. I've paid every vendor cash at that. But at that point their business wasn't worth my money or time. She drafted a contract took a copy of my ID as well. When she read over the contract I stopped her on the first page. "Need 8 hours to set up." Excuse me?! The venue that was rented in full was $13,000 for 10 hours that's including my 5hour event time. So when I said well we can stop right there because I need to find someone that's a better fit. She gone cross out 8 hours and put 4 hours. And said she "thinks" they can get it done but cannot promise that. So this means they will still be trying to set up while guests are arriving. I said I do not need anyone rushing on my wedding. Then she had a smirk on her face and said "we don't need 8hours it's a generic contract for her ETHNIC weddings." Obviously there is a miscommunication completely. She said that she guess she would have to hire more ppl to help set up. Which means that it's probably her and another person setting up a wedding that takes 8hours and she is pocketing the bulk. I politely got myself up and left. I am happy that I didn't give my money. And upset I left without grabbing that pic of my photo ID that she had. In this $10,000 I would have still needed to get my bridesmaids to flip the room. And I would still have to pay the venue to rent their items including the stage. I don't understand the cost when the company has their inventory. Oooohhhh did I tell you guys the floating candle holders weren't clean that were on display. And she said she would need to hire ppl to clean them. Why wouldn't they be cleaned after use then restock them so that are ready. It was literally wax rings inside the glasses on display. Still confused on what $10,000 pays for?! Me too.

I sent out for some quotes initially and everybody was responding with ridiculously high figures for a day-of coordinator (that's not to say they weren't all worth it--I'm sure they would be--but they just couldn't and wouldn't work with our budget). About 30 minutes after I emailed Earthling, Miranda had already emailed me back with their full listing of prices and what came with each. Their pricing was insanely budget friendly and the professionalism of a quick, informative response is a huge draw for me so we set up a meeting via Skype. Within minutes of our meeting beginning, I knew Miranda and her team would be a good fit. She was able and willing to add time because we needed some extra setup and was extremely upfront with us concerning how much time we would need and how to make things work. From then on out, she was a tremendous asset to our wedding. If I had any issues finding a vendor, she would find out our budget for the vendor and start checking her resources for someone who would meet what we wanted for how much we wanted. She made time in her schedule to meet with us whenever we came up to Dallas (because we live in Houston), even going out of her way to do so. She met with our venue director and was there for every step of the way with us. She was such a calming and helpful influence. If I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely hire her again because she was just...phenomenal. Thank you so much, Miranda, I'm so glad that you were able to be a part of our wedding and make our wedding come to life!
