Highly recommend Pearl Events! Jennifer Seals was our planner from Pearl; she perfectly balanced stepping in when we needed support (flowers, lighting, draping) and letting us take the reins on things we wanted to handle. Our wedding was last night, and I really don't have words for how supported we felt. Jen was there every step of the way, making sure we were prepared, calm, and even that we had food and drinks any time we needed them. She managed all the vendor setups, and the execution was perfect. Truly, our day was amazing and we could not have done it without Jen! read more

Incredibly disappointing experience. My fiancé and I had gotten to the point of finalizing a contract with Madison at Pearl Events for them to only tell us at the point of signing they could not take us on a client because they booked another client the night before. They waited until the meeting to tell us, meaning my fiancé and I both took time out of our work day for something that could have been an e-mail. They offered to provide recommendations, they were unable to confirm any availability. All in all a disappointing experience and poor business etiquette. read more

Where do I begin? Since the moment I called Pearl Events I know they were "the one". All the women on this team are phenomenal. I had the honor and privilege of working with Kelly. Kelly was much more than a planner. She is a super hero (and lucky for me, she is now a friend)!!! She MADE the wedding we dreamed of happen, STRESS FREE. I didn't even know that was possible. Kelly made sure that every T was crossed, every I was dotted (T and I's I didn't even know existed). She held my hand through the entire process and made sure NOTHING slipped through the cracks. Kelly listened and asked questions and really was able to know our style and vision and make the wedding our own. If you are thinking about using Pearl events for your event do it, you can stop looking now, you have found your planners. Pearl-you are the best and we can not thank you enough. From the bottom of our hearts, we LOVE YOU!!!! xoxo We love you so much we took a piece of you on our honey moon...You can take Pearl events away from the girl, but you can't take the girl away from Pearl Events! read more

Pearl Events is outstanding, and we cannot recommend them enough! We worked with Lexie as a Day of Coordinator for our wedding. Our venue required a day of contact, and at first we were skeptical if we should hire a professional, but working with Lexie and her team has completely won us over! Having Lexie take over the run-of-show for the wedding was a dream! She made the event run smoothly and let us enjoy our special day. Leading up to the wedding day, she effectively communicated with all the vendors so each person knew where to be and when. It helped take a big burden off during the days leading up to the event. We had all sorts of challenges crop up on the wedding day. From having rain at an outdoor wedding to challenges with the photo booth and we're sure a dozen other things that we never even knew about. She handled it all with grace and we felt confident that everything was going to turn out great! We would absolutely recommend working with Pearl Events, and especially Lexie to help you plan and coordinate your wedding! read more

Wonderful experience with Our wedding planner Tessa . The reception was everything and more . Tessa was always available to answer questions and was very calming . It was a pleasure working with her. read more

Y'ALL. If you're looking for a wedding planner, run, don't walk, to Pearl Events! Besides marrying my husband, picking Pearl Events was *the best* decision I made for our wedding! Katie Fingerhut was the real MVP of our wedding, and answered multiple questions from me and my mother. She gave me a list of recommended vendors and actually made the whole wedding planning process fun! When we met with the vendors, it was so obvious that each one of them respected Pearl Events, and even knew and respected Katie. There were a ton of moving parts for our wedding, we have a big family with complicated dynamics, and to top that off, I have a ton of crazy health issues, but with Katie + the Pearl team, the day went off without a hitch. If anything went wrong, I would've had zero idea, and I still would have no idea! Katie is friendly, approachable, but also is laid-back and brings a peace to the whole planning process. Couldn't recommend more! read more

Review from my husband. Which speaks VOLUMES that he felt compelled to write a review on his own!! "Megan Metzger from Pearl Events Austin is the Michael Jordan of wedding planners. She was on top of EVERYTHING. I've never met someone so organized. All her work ahead of the wedding was fantastic and she was a great advocate for us when working with the other vendors. When there are so many moving parts, it's nice knowing you've got someone like Megan making sure it all goes off without a hitch. Thank you Megan!" read more

There really are no words to describe how amazing Lexie Perez is. I always thought I would love planning my wedding but shortly after getting engaged realized I am in fact, not a planner. My (now) husband thought it was a waste of money to hire a planner but I ended up biting the bullet and scheduled a meeting with Lexie about 1 year prior to our wedding. I kid you not - this was the BEST money I spent out of all the vendors, decor, food, music, etc etc. Lexie is friendly, smart, kind, intuitive, and has an incredibly calming presence. My husband and I ended up abruptly moving across country 5 months before our wedding and I would have legit called off our wedding if it wasn't for Lexie helping me finalize every detail and reassure me everything was going to be just like I pictured. I actually had guests come up me during and after our wedding and ask who Lexie was and then proceed to tell me how kind and calm she was and how lucky I was to have her. We went to see her the day after our wedding to pick through the decor we wanted to keep and I actually felt sad saying goodbye to her because now I don't have an excuse to talk to her every day! THAT IS HOW AMAZING SHE IS, PEOPLE! I could ramble on about this forever... moral of the story, GET YO SELF A LEXIE PEREZ! Pearl Events, hold onto this girl - she is worth her weight in gold! An absolute blessing. read more

The first and best decision we made during our wedding planning process was to work with Pearl Events, specifically Katie Fingerhut. Katie is organized, detail-oriented, professional, knowledgeable. Throughout the process, she kept us and our vendors on track. She double and triple-checked every detail. And on the day of our wedding, she executed a flawless event. I would not have changed a single detail about our wedding - not one. We couldn't have done it without Katie. Thank you for creating a magical day for us! read more

Unfortunately, my experience with Jennifer Seals at Pearl Events was the complete opposite of other reviews. Our original meeting was fantastic - she was on point, sent me a follow up immediately and I felt she was exactly what I was looking for, especially after interviewing nearly a dozen planners! I told her "I am a very processed oriented, anal person and need a wedding planner that is even more anal than me" and she completely understood the sentiment. Or so I thought. However from the time I hired her through the next 9 months before my wedding, the communication deteriorated and many mistakes ensued. I almost paid $800 to rent heaters that were not approved for the venue we booked even though Jen said she already had checked they were compliant. When I connected with musicians 6 days before the event, they explained they didn't have the day of timeline yet. These are just a few examples of a myriad of problems I had during the planning process. I had to check and double check every single detail. The evening of the actual wedding was more disappointing and personally, embarrassing. Our music turned off twice -- literally the whole venue went silent -- due to the setup of the DJ (this could have been easily avoided by shifting tables and/or reinforcing the wires with tape like other vendors did), the table runners we rented ended up tied on the base of the cocktail tables instead of running over the top, the lighting she was selected (that I asked to review multiple times) was not acceptable. And the fact that it was 40 degrees and there were only 2 heat lamps on the veranda full of guests who were clearly cold, shocked me. I felt I was running around the whole evening making sure things were on track and I felt such frustration and disappointment the whole event. The planning process was a nightmare and my actual wedding was ruined. read more

Super professional group of planners! I work for a venue in Austin and love to see Pearl Events as the planner, because it means everything will be organized and well thought out. Highly recommend them! read more

A 15 month engagement with a Bride and Groom that are workaholics and live 1,000 miles away...the ONLY person who can handle that is JEN SEALS of Pearl Events. After a disastrous phone interview with another coordinator in the Austin area fate brought Jen in to our lives and we could not have been more thrilled. The initial conversation left me feeling all warm and fuzzy and pretty much ready to leave my fiancé to marry Jen because anyone who can stay that organized is basically my soulmate (I'd live in a Container Store if it were socially acceptable). My husband and i were only able to travel back to Texas twice before the wedding. Each weekend was maxed out with appointments, laughs, decisions and me generally going "Well, Jen, what do you think? Is that classy?" and Jen responding "Yes, Janet, you'll be classy." Once I heard that I just left it in her hands because honestly, I don't know anything about planning a wedding anyway so it's best to leave it to the professionals. Sep 26, 2015 - I am sitting in a room with my best friends just waiting. No one seems to be bothering me, there is no stress, everything is going according to plan, my family is one piece, my husband's family is still speaking to one another...and I have this thought...Is it supposed to be this easy? Bride advice that I'd received was always about the stress, the pressure, the family feuds, the overwhelming desire to cut and run to the courthouse and grab the first flight to Mexico. Nope, not for me. My advice...hire Jen & Pearl Events. I spent my wedding day siping champagne as I laughed with the loves of my life waiting to marry the man of my dreams. A wedding planner can be your best and worst decision. It depends on who it is and I'm lucky enough to realize that mine was professional, smart as a whip and generally just the best at her job. She got things done that I never knew about, problems never came close to touching me...NOTHING interuppted my big day. Oh and while this may seem like a one-sided review my husband WHOLE HEARTEDLY agrees with every word. Did I spend money on this? Absolutely. Would I spend double the amount knowing what it got me...PSHH PLEASE. ABSOLUTELY. The stress free, blissful, perfect wedding day that I enjoyed was worth every penny. The wedding day is over, my husband and I are newlyweds and yet there is Jen. Just checking to make sure it went well, there were no problems and "was there anything else she can help with." I mean honestly, she was done with her job but still cared enough to make sure that as Mr. & Mrs. we were just as content as when we had been the future Mr. & Mrs. Now THAT is classy. read more

I hired Pearl Events at the recommendation of my friend Brittany, who had the pleasure of working with Becky Navarro for her own wedding at Vintage Villas 5 years prior. I decided to go with the "junior" level wedding-day coordinator who was available, Megan Metzger, based solely on price (that is probably not the right job description and I am probably butchering poor Megan's title, just meant to say that there are different pricing tiers and I went with the lower one). At first, it seemed like a lot of money, like a totally frivolous expense. I mean, I knew what I wanted for my decorations, ceremony, etc. Why was I paying someone so much money for just one day? I tried to find a reason to knock an hour off one place or another to save $100. As the day approached, I started working with Megan more heavily. And I stopped all that nonsense worrying about the cost. Megan was worth every penny I paid and then some. She helped me think through things well before the big day that would not even have occurred to me until the last minute, and probably would have made me lose all sense of sanity. Like, if your mom and dad aren't together, and your dad isn't walking you down the aisle, how are your mom and dad getting to their seats but separately? Mind blown, right? Yeah, better to think about that weeks beforehand when you're calm than in the moment, standing in your dress, waiting for the wedding party to walk down the aisle in front of you. Trust me. During the ceremony, Megan and her assistant Jackie kept everything moving, on schedule, and was my advocate when I was elsewhere (taking photos, eating, on the dance floor). We got so many compliments from our guests on how well everything flowed together, how well everything ran. She was a lifesaver. I'd give her more stars if Yelp would let me. I know she was the reason I got to be mentally present at the wedding, rather than worrying about everything else. Having now completed the event, I can't imagine NOT hiring Pearl Events or Megan Metzger as an event coordinator. They are worth every penny. read more

Pearl Events was recommended by my wedding venue, Vintage Villas, for their coordination services. After doing a bit of research, Pearl Events was the best option in terms of affordability and experience working at Vintage Villas. I ended up going with Jessica for day-of coordination services. Since I was planning my Austin wedding from Dallas, I did the majority of my coordination with Jessica over the phone! We had a few phone calls to get all of the details up front, and I was able to email her anytime with whatever random questions I had - from how many lanterns would I need in this room to is this reasonable in terms of pricing for florals? She always had a cheerful disposition and was super prompt in her responses. She also informed me of any rental specials or deals whenever they were going on! Jessica confirmed all of my vendors two weeks before my wedding and kept them up to date with any type of last minute changes. On the day of, she was so calm and professional - and set up all (and there were a lot) of my decorations beautifully. She made sure we had a plate of food - which we actually got to eat! - and always checked if I needed another drink. The entire night ran so smoothly and I know a big chunk of that has to do with Jessica! Even though we initially didn't budget for coordination services, having a day-of coordinator was well worth it. I highly recommend using Pearl Events if you are getting married at Vintage Villas - it helps so much in terms of figuring out how to decorate and set up the venue! Brides, trust me on this one, it will take a load of stress off! read more

Kudos Lady! I have nothing bad to say about Katie! From beginning to end, this lady was flawless! Every suggestion and comment she had was right on point and made our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. The timeline she put together was amazing and her and her crew made sure to stay on schedule. Couldn't have asked for a better planner! read more

I cannot sing Kelly's praises any louder! She is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! She is beyond organized, and is totally on top of her game. We planned an "April Fools" surprise wedding with Kelly, and she took the stress of planning this event completely away. I felt like I actually enjoyed the wedding knowing that she was in charge. My daughter and I cannot imagine planning this with anyone else...not to mention that we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kelly as a person! Pearl Events has a treasure and we are so grateful that we went with them. Wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Kelly for making everything beyond AMAZING!!!!! read more

I was so lucky and blessed to get Kailee as my coordinator. From the beginning she was a Godsend. She went through every checklist possible with me to make sure I had everything in order. She checked in on me every couple of months (I booked her a many months before the wedding). She gave me invaluable insight, advice, and helped me stay organize with all the vendors, payments, and tips later. She knew every answer to every question. The day of- she knew every detail of my wedding from beginning to end by heart. (at least it felt that way). She made sure everything we talked about happened. She knew all my OCD tendencies and made sure there were no freak out moments. Before I walked down the aisle, she was the one standing behind me, fluffing my train out, making sure my dress was perfect.... and at the end of the night, she was the one who pulled my crazy hair back together after an extremely fun night of dancing to make sure I was picture perfect for my sparkler send off. My bridesmaids all raved about how easy going of a bride I was and how easy the day was for them. Without Kailee, I don't know if that would have been possible. So, how can you not have a "Kailee" for your wedding? read more

If you are looking for a super fun, smart, and creative person to help you plan your wedding, you have found the right girl! Becky and her staff are amazing! Her prices are VERY reasonable and she has great customer service, which is difficult to find with some of the large event planners in town. She has been in the Austin Wedding scene for many years, so she has LOTS of connections, which means really great deals! I would highly recommend Pearl Events to anyone who wants to have fun planning their party/wedding and a stress free event. read more

Initially I thought that I could plan my wedding myself. However, as I locked down details and suppliers, it became very clear that there would be A LOT of details I'd have to attend to myself the day of the wedding. It was important to me that I enjoy the day and have fun, so I was grateful when our wedding venue, Vintage Villas, recommended Pearl Events. We worked with Jessica and met with her a few months before our wedding. She asked questions to get an understanding of what we were looking for and shared options of what Pearl Events could offer. I thought there rates were very fair. After we made our selection, Jessica attended our details meeting with Vintage Villas about a month before our wedding date. She had worked on weddings in the past at Vintage Villas and knew all of the right specifics to nail down. Jessica was always very helpful and responsive through e-mail leading up to the event. She confirmed all of our vendors 1-2 weeks before our wedding date. She also attended our rehearsal the day before the wedding. On our special day, Pearl Events took care of everything for us. They met with our vendors, set up the decorations, and helped "flip" our ceremony room to the reception room while we and our guests were eating in another room. I was all smiles the day of our event because I could enjoy myself and the moment and not have to worry about any details. I'm so happy that I used Pearl Events because it really made it a stress free, enjoyable day! Two really nice touches on the day of our wedding I also wanted to mention is that - 1) one of the Pearl Events staff members had champagne poured for us (with a cherry at the bottom) as soon as we were married and walked back down the aisle - so awesome! And 2) they put a bottle of champagne in our hotel room with 2 Pearl Events cookies while we were at the reception. I really appreciated these touches! read more

I had the best day of my life thanks to Katie Fingerhut. Planning a wedding in Austin while living in San Diego, I knew I needed a planner, especially since I don't like to plan parties and didn't have a "vision" for my wedding. Initially, I just wanted a fun wedding with good food and music and somehow, Katie managed to create my dream wedding without me realizing it until I walked down the aisle. Katie is so special and from the beginning, both my husband and I knew she was the perfect match for us. She is a yes person and has a solution to every problem!! Having to pay for the wedding ourselves, we were on a budget and tried to lower the cost by renting linen on line and even considered having my family take care of florals. Despite the crazy and somewhat idiotic plan, Katie never said no!! She voiced her concerns but tried to work with us to see how we could make it happen. Fortunately, we found an affordable florist and avoided a potential disaster but we are so appreciative of Katie's willingness to work with our budget. I can go on and on about how wonderful Katie is but it wasn't until the day of our wedding when I realized that she was the best decision I made (other than marrying my husband of course;) for my wedding. There was a 50% chance of rain on my wedding and while it was drizzling at 3 pm, Katie called me to ask if we should move the wedding inside. Since I was really hoping to have the ceremony outside in the beautiful courtyard at the Mansion, I asked Katie if it would be ok to continue setting up for an outdoor wedding since it was "only drizzling" and after a short pause, Katie said, "of course! and if it starts pouring, we'll just move everything inside and move the ceremony time back a little bit." Once again, she could've said no but she didn't and we ended up with a beautiful outdoor ceremony with perfect weather. One of my bridesmaids described her as a swan above the chaos. Chaos that I did not have to deal with or witness b/c Katie took care of everything with such grace and patience. My crazy asian family was all over the place but Katie handled everything with a genuine smile and exuded a sense of calm that was much needed by all. Because of Katie, I was able to work out the day of my wedding, spend quality time with my best friends, and then partied my pants off with all the people I love without a worry in the world. Along the process, Katie has become a dear friend and the only thing I regret about having Katie as my planner is that she lives in Austin and I won't be able to see her as much as I'd like. Katie is an absolute blessing and I am forever grateful to her for the best day of my life. read more

Planning a wedding for 100 people in 8 weeks? No problem as long as you have the team from Pearl Events. Seriously, our wedding was 8 weeks and 3 days after we first met Kelly Bottoms at Pearl. I've used the Pearl team for two corporate events previously with fantastic results, so of course I called them for my wedding. I can't begin to tell you how phenomenal they are at making sure every last detail is covered. I truly enjoyed my wedding day and didn't worry about a thing. Even my family were able to enjoy themselves; everything was taken care of. She helped us secure a venue and vendors quickly. They were all reliable, professional, and I didn't feel like I was being gouged price-wise. Everything the day-of went off perfectly, even when a few snags came up threatening the timeline. We were so grateful for her guidance and candor through the world of wedding planning. I cannot recommend Pearl Events enough! read more

Becky was my coordinator at Vintage Villas in 2009 (I reviewed Becky and Vintage Villas on the VV page a while back). Since I got married, she's started her own planning company, Pearl Events, and is now a full-service wedding planner--LUCKY for brides! Working with Becky, even in a more limited capacity than she is now able to offer, was a wonderful experience. She handled my many questions, which were likely the same questions she answered all day long from the other VV brides, in a very timely and specific way and was ALWAYS friendly and professional, clearing up any doubts or lingering questions I had about anything wedding-related. She was there from the day I set my date through the nitty-gritty decision making process, right up through the rehearsal and day-of. She truly helped me pull loose ends together when even I, a very proactive and organized bride, was losing my way toward the end-and remember, this was when she was not even my full-time planner. I can only imagine how helpful she would have been had she had a larger role in my planning. Even still, she was full of helpful suggestions and ideas that were, most importantly, within my budget. I really want to stress again how professional she is and how strong her work ethic is. At friends' weddings, I have seen other wedding planners chit chatting about personal matters with staff in the corner and not tending to key details. Things were left undone, and bridal parties were left high and dry without direction at various points in the day and without champagne when the toasts began (!!!!). I can confidently tell you that that would not happen at a wedding of Becky's. Not only is she a lovely lady who is fun to be around and work with, she is the consummate professional, and I think when choosing a planner you have to be EXTREMELY careful about that. There aren't any do-overs or returns, so be sure yours is there to do her job well and not just collect her check! The day of my wedding was seamless because of Becky. I was trying to stick to a budget and I don't know if I would have hired a day-of coordinator had I not already been hooked up with Becky's services through the venue. But because of Becky, I am now the biggest advocate of (at a minimum) having a day-of coordinator for your wedding. Seriously, if you are on the fence about whether or not it is worth the money, let me tell you, unequivocally, IT IS! There were never any questions of if vendors were there yet, who would meet them, were things getting set up on time and in the right place, are the groom and groomsmen on time and in the right place, when to start walking down the aisle, where my groom and I should go immediately after the ceremony, I could go on and on. Without Becky, these questions and stresses would have been placed on my mom and mother-in-law's shoulders (or even worse, mine), and I am so grateful that we never had to worry about anything! I truly floated through my wedding day, and I doubt I could say the same had Becky not been there. She was such a great resource and asset to me, I only wish she had been a full-service planner when I was a bride! read more

We got married a few months ago in the Texas Hill Country area, but we live in NY so we were planning the wedding out of state.... Megan was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly patient, helpful, understanding, nice and attentive. Due to weather we had to change up our plans pretty last minute, and we could not have done any of that without Megan. That and a gazillion other things - she was awesome. Having her assistance was one of the best decisions we made. Megan, thank you!!!!! read more

Pearl Events was a recommended vendor by our venue, Vintage Villas. We were searching for a day of coordinator and met with them, and also interviewed a few others, but we ultimately decided on Pearl Events and could not have been happier! We decided to work with Jessica Brightwell and she was absolutely amazing! She did not take the title "day of" too literally, and was a huge help for weeks leading up to the big day. She even encouraged us to drop off boxes full of our do it yourself items over several trips to her office in the days leading up to our wedding day, just to take one additional item off our plate. As someone who is a bit OCD and all about the details, Jessica was a breath of fresh air. She is young and fun, but still extremely competent, professional, and detail oriented. Whenever my OCD kicked in on our wedding day and I asked about something, it was always already done- always. That is just how Jessica is. She makes sure you have nothing to worry about so you can enjoy your wedding day, and does it all in a cool, calm, and collected way. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone needing a wedding coordinator in the Austin area! read more

For the 2nd year in row, Pearl Events was our event planner for our major annual nonprofit fundraising luncheon. It was held at The Austin Club with 265 attendees including many dignitaries in Austin history, theater, business, and politics. The Pearl events team is expert in all phases of event planning and preparation for us and their event-day execution is excellent and innovative. Another feature of this firm is the friendliness and care they have for the people planning and involved in the event. read more

I loved every part of working with Megan Metzger at Pearl Events. I was planning an Austin wedding from afar with only 8 months time, and she kept me completely on track. Her attention to detail, insight, and skill was all I needed to feel completely at ease on my wedding day. Our wedding day felt perfect and I never had to worry about a thing. She's also extremely personable and someone I plan to keep in touch with now! read more

Hiring Jessica, and Pearl Events to take over my brother's wedding after almost a year of planning was the best decision! Being the sister of the groom, I truly wanted to enjoy his wedding despite being the one who had planned it all, knowing that Jessica was in charge on the day of, left me to enjoy every minute!! She took the reins and handled every bump in the road like a champ! I would highly recommend letting Pearl Events make your special day everything you wish for!! read more

Having the help of Becky and her team at Pearl Events made our birthday party all that we hoped for and more. They were professional, prompt, and super creative. The event exceeded all expectations. People were reaching out for days to ask who organized the event and where all the great ideas came from. The party was so enjoyable. I actually took the afternoon off that day and arrived at the party only 30 minutes early for family pictures. Everything was handled in the most professional manner and the event was completely stress free. read more

Jackie Myers and her assistants kept our wedding and reception running perfectly and without a hitch! It was so nice not having to worry about anything on our wedding day. Everything was just the way we'd wanted it, our guests had a great time, and we were happy as could be. She was not just responsive but proactive over email, and our personal meetings with her were pleasant and productive. We recommend her highly. read more

My daughter was married June 9 at Austin's Umlauf Sculpture Garden. She's my first child to be married (the same was true for the groom's family), so planning a wedding was a new challenge for us all! Becky Navarro and her assistants at Pearl Events were the essential key to a day everyone agreed was magical--and flawlessly executed. I am thrilled to recommend Becky whole-heartedly. I live in California; the bride and groom, in New York City. So we needed someone who could reliably recommend all our Austin vendors; coordinate their services; and save us time in making arrangements. Becky did all this--and more. She was recommended to us by Umlauf for having arranged many successful events there. (It has very stringent time requirements about on-schedule set-ups and break-downs, so this was critical.) From our first conversations in January, Becky focused on the mood and tone of the event the couple wanted; their style and preferences; and our budget. Immediately, I knew she'd be guiding us wisely because she was such a good listener. And that she would save us time and money, since she was direct and knowledgeable in describing our choices without ever imposing herself. We met for the first time in February; she helped us arrange a whirlwind of meetings with prospective vendors; and we left Austin completely confident all would go well and within budget. Becky was absolutely responsive to every email along the way (there were literally hundreds as we worked out details). The vendors she endorsed were top-notch and within our price range. It was clear that she had a great virtual team in Austin familiar with working with her and with a strong incentive to perform well for her and us. This was a great advantage to us as out-of-towners. One great help really stands out: when we were trying to work out the timeline of the reception, Becky gave us expert advice that took into account the number of people, the layout of the venue, the weather, the DJ, the band . . . the number of times you can move people from one spot to another. The flow of the day was really in her hands . . . and it was a smooth and great success! When it got close to the Big Day, Becky received and organized all our guest/decorative items to bring to the outdoor site and gave us great assurance that all would go well. There was a late-breaking chance of rain. Becky had it all under control: advising us about our options for tents and a different set-up if necessary, making sure we were informed and calm! I knew whatever happened, Becky would work it out for us! And she did. No rain, but absolute peace of mind. She and her staff kept everything running smoothly: I never had one moment of distraction or concern throughout the ceremony and reception. I could simply focus on the couple, our family and friends. They all had a fantastic time! Becky quietly, competently, and calmly had everything displayed, arranged, coordinated, flowing perfectly. Her two staff members were equally friendly and focused. At the end of the night, they had everything packed up magically and easily, and left us with a feeling of happiness, not exhaustion. What a relief! I could never have managed this event without Becky. As I reflect back on the day, the pictures, the memories, I appreciate her expertise more and more. I must say I received the highest value from her fee of any vendor we engaged. You'll never regret hiring Becky Navarro; in fact, you'll thank your lucky stars! read more

Megan was the day-of wedding planner for our daughter's wedding and she was the glue that made it happen. That day is one I will never forget - it way exceeded my expectations and was truly magical. I don't know how Megan and her assistant were able to do the work of a dozen but everything was just perfect. read more

Megan Metzger is the absolute best there is. Her attention to detail and organization are beyond what was expected. She is cool and collected always and has an answer to every question I asked! You know when you are in good hands when your photographer, your cake person, your flower people, your caterer, and everyone else raves about her. She truly delivered a magical night for us. Just love love love her. read more

I went to Pearl events because of their great views on The Knot. I had actually never seen reviews that glowing about any service, so choosing them from that aspect seemed right. It truly was one of the best decisions I could have made. Clients say they would give 10 stars, and in my opinion there aren't even enough stars to give them. We worked with Jenn Seals, and her service was invaluable. She was so calming through the process, reminded me of the small items I needed to stay on top of, and came up with some brilliant ideas. Our entire event was stunning and went so smoothly thanks to her. The thing that stood out the most was also her kindness to my parents and family. She went out of her way to make them feel important by bringing them drinks to where they were seated if they lacked anything at all. It meant the world to me. She also was so relaxed for the event that she blended in with everyone to make the evening fun and relaxing which was the goal. THANK YOU Pearl Events. You made the event what every bride and groom should be able to experience! read more

Becky is planning my wedding right now and is so helpful! My wedding is still a few months away but I feel like planning has been so easy with her helping me. She keeps me on track and makes sure that all the little details that I would not have thought of are taken care of. I'm a laid back girl and having Becky take care of so much for me has been a wedding life saver. I would probably be lost without her! read more

Megan Metzger was my wedding planner, and she was the best investment we made for our wedding. Seriously, Megan went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect - months beforehand and on the day. Megan is extremely organized and gave great advice and direction when I was indecisive. Thanks to Megan's expertise, the wedding day had a very smooth timeline, which our guests appreciated. She really knows what she is doing, and I did not have to worry about anything the day of. I never felt pressured during the wedding planning process. Megan is a wonderful lady to work with, and I would recommend her to anybody for their wedding. She deserves a very large tip and spa day after each wedding :) read more

I would give all of the stars in the world to Katie Fingerhut and the Pearl Events Team! Because of Katie, our July, Downtown Austin wedding was absolutely perfect! Katie is the most detail oriented person, but is extremely laid back, friendly, and fun! She quickly built a genuine relationship with my mom and me and made sure we enjoyed the planning process. We are both extremely "Type A" and opinionated, but Katie earned our trust from the very beginning. She was SO much more than a "Day-Of Coordinator". We met with her several times in advance, emailed multiple times a week, and could text or call her anytime. She was always available to answer any questions, even when she was out of the office or on vacation! She also has the BEST ideas of little details that can impact your event in a VERY positive way. A few weeks before the wedding, Katie walked us through her perfect master plan/minute-by-minute to ensure everything was ready to go and that everyone (family, bridal party, vendors) was on the same page. When the big day arrived, we knew EVERYTHING was under control and would be handled by Katie and her fabulous team. Because of Katie's knowledge, skills, relationships with vendors, and attention to detail, my mom and I could relax and enjoy the wedding day. Not once did my mom have to check in at the church or reception venue. She was able to spend the entire day with me, my bridal party, and our family, which was absolutely invaluable. Our large (320+ guests) and pretty involved wedding went off without a hitch! All of the vendors she helped us select exceeded our expectations in every way. She ensured our entire timeline, florals, decor, seating, and flow were executed perfectly! And most importantly, because of Katie, our wedding was the most memorable, perfect, and FUN night of our lives - and one that our friends and family are still talking about today. We were truly impressed by Katie's professionalism, attention to detail, operational skills, unique insight and ideas, and awesome personality! Thank you, Katie Fingerhut and the entire Pearl Events Team for making our special day a huge success! We could not have done it without you!!! read more

These gals are phenomenal at what they do! We hired Pearl Events to help with our New Year's Eve wedding last year. Becky helped us in the planning process, by meeting with all of our key vendors. I can guarantee our wedding would not have turned out as beautiful and fantastic as it did without Becky's help. She is the best of the best! Nicole helped us with the day of wedding coordination and was so much fun to have at our wedding. She was on top of everything all night and I never had to worry about anything. Our wedding was seamless, which is pretty incredible considering it was a holiday and we put in a lot of special requests. If you want to have the best wedding possible and not have to worry about a single thing, you need to hire Pearl Events. They are just fantastic! read more

What a wonderful recommendation we had from family and friends to use Pearl Events for my daughter's wedding. Katie could not have done more to make everything about the event more perfect!!! She was thorough, professional, completely on top of every part of the planning and execution of the wedding and it was beyond exceptional!! As parents who have always hoped for the most perfect wedding day ever for our daughter, Katie made it happen. We are so grateful and impressed! read more

When we set out to plan a winter wedding, on a tight budget, in six months, 2,000 miles from home, we knew we were setting ourselves up for a huge challenge. Choosing Becky Navarro of Pearl Events as our wedding coordinator was the BEST decision we made - second only to choosing each other for all time. And her rate was the icing on the cake. Hiring Pearl Events is like giving yourself a wedding gift - a super affordable wedding gift that you will remember forever... Becky has amazing grace. As a wedding planner she was extremely professional, while at the same time tons of fun to work with and had so many creative ideas. Her referrals were all spot on, from cakes to linens, she has a vendor list that proves she is plugged into the best of the Austin wedding scene. Becky was down to earth (not fussy or pushy at all), yet she focused like a laser on making our wedding experience everything we hoped it would be. Becky is organized and polished, she absolutely inspires confidence. She kept us from getting overwhelmed by all the details and decisions that swarmed around us in the month leading up to the big day. At our rehearsal and our wedding, she kept everything rolling right on schedule, without ever sacrificing "the moment". We got to breathe and soak it all in, never feeling like we were being overly managed or worrying about what might be going on behind the scenes. As a full service wedding coordinator she was fantastic, but she was so much more! Becky and her team were generous, kind, and eager to take care of all our needs from start to finish. We just can't sing enough praises for Becky and her team. We will always remember our wedding as a perfect night thanks to the fabulous efforts of Pearl Events! read more

I am an event DJ, and I have worked with Becky and Jessica at about a dozen weddings and corporate events. Honestly, out of all the event planning companies, Pearl Events is my favorite. They stay right on top of the details without being over-the-top or bossy. Most importantly they are personable and fully capable of working with other vendors. You should book her today. It might be the best wedding decision you've ever made! read more
