Melanie was our primary planner and she listened to all of my wife and I's requests and gave great feedback. When we were unsure of which colors, fabrics, and other things most folks would not think of she was always giving great feedback and guiding us to the perfect wedding. The days leading up to and the day of both ladies were in contact with my wife and I and made us feel so at ease! There is always a little stress at a wedding but we were confident everything would be great and it was! The best wedding planners in town!

Before I met with Julie at Refined Romance I had met with another wedding planner who was very nice…read morebut it all felt impersonal, cold and just not right. The moment I walked into the office and met Julie and Jacy I knew it was different. They were so incredibly personable and the more we talked the more I knew they were the right choice. Jacy was my primary planner with Emily assisting and I honestly can't say enough good things about them! Since I already chose all my vendors I decided to go with the package that gave me a month of their service with day-of-coordinator. Since I knew very little about wedding planning I appreciated how comfortable they made me feel and I never felt judged for being clueless! Saying they were helpful is an understatement. I am a very detail oriented person who likes a plan. I was running around and a bit stressed the few weeks leading up to the wedding (as all brides) getting all the details squared away. The day OF the wedding I had no stress, no worries because I knew Jacy and Emily had it all under control. I 100% trusted that they would take the lead, set everything up that I entrusted them with and knew they would do an amazing job. I knew this because of how incredibly responsive Jacy was with every email, every question answered, and constantly brought things up I myself never even thought about. Knowing you can rely on someone is rare and absolutely wonderful. On top of it all it was always done with a positive attitude and a genuine smile. I can't imagine being around Jacy and not be in a good mood. I was sincerely sorry when the wedding was over not just because it was over but because that meant Jacy was no longer in my life haha. She is a wonderful person through and through. While I didn't interact with Emily as much since my contact was more with Jacy as the head planner, I did see her on the day of the wedding and noticed how tirelessly she worked, always keeping an eye out that everything was running smoothly. Hiring them was the best thing I could have done and would absolutely recommend them for any event planning!

Brianna and Emily were so professional and encouraging in choosing vendors and making decisions. After we decided on our vendors and the budget, the day of the wedding went smoothly and problem free, except for some rain which was out of our control. But they kept on encouraging us that it was still going to be a beautiful wedding, and it was. Not only did we have Brianna and Emily there for the wedding but they had more of their staff helping. That really impressed me that we had four people from 316 Design there at the wedding. I truly miss our emails, texts and telephone calls because they were such a part of our lives for 6 months. With this all being said, you can see that we had an awesome experience with 316 Design Source. Thank you girls for making my daughter's wedding so beautiful. Sharon

I hired Shay K Events to coordinate my February 2024 wedding. Below is a transparent review of my…read moreexperience. Pros: Responsive. Personable Initially, I felt comfortable hiring Shay K Events for wedding coordination services. However, as the wedding date approached, I started questioning her role because I was doing all the work. We had a rehearsal dinner two days before the wedding, that I had to plan because Shay didn't. She rushed us throughout the entire thing. Cons: Disorganized Lacks attention to detail Inexperienced The reception was a mess; it was Shay's fault as the wedding coordinator. Shay K Events did not coordinate the event effectively. To give you an idea, Shay told the caterer's two servers not to serve, which resulted in the reception dinner becoming a self-serve buffet. I did not want this, as I had paid for servers to serve the guests. We ran out of food because some people took more than one type of protein. They were supposed to choose between chicken, fish, or pasta, not all three. Unfortunately, Shay hasn't taken responsibility for this mistake, even though it was entirely her fault. Since the servers did not work, the caterer refunded the $250 serving fee. Thankfully, they were cooperative. During the wedding, Shay caused chaos when cutting and serving the cake. Initially, she began cutting the cake and placing a few pieces on the table for guests to take. However, Shay's cutting skills were poor, resulting in unappealing and messy slices. To make matters worse, she abandoned the task, leaving guests to serve themselves. As a result, the dessert table looked disorganized and unsightly. Shay spent the reception eating and conversing with people. A family member spotted Shay eating a cookie from the dessert table before dinner was served, which was unacceptable. "What did she do right during the reception?" you ask. She checked on me and my now-husband several times to ensure everything was going well. We were fine, but unfortunately, she didn't have the same level of attention for the 50 guests who were left fending for themselves in the chaos. Just to clarify, I want to make it clear that I was not a bridezilla, and the wedding was semi-formal and not too demanding. After the wedding, I received messages from multiple family members expressing their disappointment with Shay. Hearing similar feedback from various people confirmed that it was not just me. Shay told me she hired an assistant at no charge to me to assist her with the wedding/reception. Shay needed an assistant to help her create chaos. I am trying to figure out what the assistant (who happens to be her sister) was doing besides eating. I am incredibly disappointed with Shay K Events and cannot express it enough. I have contacted Shay twice to discuss my dissatisfaction, but she insists she fulfilled her responsibilities per the agreement. Although my wedding was a joyful event, based on my experience and feedback from my guests, I do not recommend Shay K Events.

It's hard to completely put into words just how amazing Wendy Kidd is. I first met her at the…read moreMcKinney Bridal Show in January of 2012. I'd just gotten engaged two weeks prior, but told myself that I didn't need a wedding planner. Silly me. :) Fast forward to May, when I was just beginning to rip my hair out. My wedding location (both ceremony and reception) was held in a small town, with hardly any wedding-related resources. Thank goodness Wendy was available for our October date because I really don't know what I would've done without her. She's completely in-the-know and paired us with some incredibly amazing vendors that we would've never found on our own. Her personality and spirit is so warm and inviting that you end up wanting her to be your very best friend. She took each of my annoying emails and phone calls in stride, immediately going to work solving all of my problems (which, in the end, weren't really problems). Our wedding day went off without a hitch, as they say. Wendy and her team made sure that the entire day was perfect for us and our families and we are so, so happy that we chose to work with her!

For over a year, Brooke worked closely with me and my husband to plan the best possible wedding for our budget. We live in California but had our wedding in Texas, where I grew up. Brooke was such a great wedding planner. It's hard to believe that it's over. We were very calm the whole week leading up to and during the wedding weekend knowing that she had everything under control. It was a long year filled with crazy meetings and discussions about minutiae. Thanks to her patience and attention to detail, she made sure everything reflected what we wanted. Our family and friends were very impressed with the execution and won't stop talking about how it was the nicest wedding they ever attended, and we can't wait to see the professional photos that I just know will be amazing. Thank you EED!
