I am genuinely disappointed to write this review and cannot recommend Ren Newey or 36th Street…read moreEvents. Our kids hired this planner, and from the very beginning there were warning signs-but the scope of the issues that unfolded went far beyond anything we could have anticipated. From not remembering meeting the groom after a one-hour introductory call, to ongoing disorganization, to inconsistent and frequently changing pricing, the experience was stressful throughout. We were quoted inflated costs for items such as generators-significantly higher than what we were able to negotiate ourselves-and were directed to vendors whose pricing was nearly ten times higher than identical products available on Etsy. Despite being repeatedly reassured that all details were handled, several critical failures occurred on the wedding day. The string quartet never arrived because 36th Street Events sent their information to an outdated email address. Instead of notifying the bride, groom, or any parents about the mistake, recorded music was played without explanation. Requested site visits never happened, staffing was not confirmed, and as a result dinner was delayed by 60-90 minutes, guests had no water available, and the wrong song was played for the father-daughter dance. These operational missteps were extremely disappointing. However, the most troubling aspect was the unprofessional and at times blatantly rude behavior displayed by Ren toward parents, guests, and even the priest officiating the ceremony. Multiple guests approached us asking why the wedding coordinator was so dismissive and why, as family members scrambled to help guests during a sudden rain, she stood by and watched. Prior to the bride and groom entering the reception, Ren told the groom he should button his jacket so he "didn't look fat." All of the above are just a few examples of the disappointment. For an event as meaningful as a wedding, professionalism, organization, and care matter enormously--and sadly, these were consistently lacking. After our bad experience, I did see another similar review for Ren on this platform.

Ren and her team came highly recommended from our event space coordinator. The location of the…read morewedding has 3 event locations and rooms that are booked months in advance and highly sought after in the area. Suffice it so say, they have many reasons to highly recommend Ren and her team. As a mother of the bride, Ren and her team were there for every part of the planning. There was not one ball dropped in the process and in fact the handling of the unusual weather which forced the ceremony and reception into one space was probably the most professional job I have ever experienced during a large event. This was a large wedding that required last minute drapery, which Ren snagged from the best team in the area. The hall was transformed into an intimate, cozy ceremony and was truly spectacular. The tear down from the ceremony and set up for the reception was flawless and did not affect the timing of the entire night. There literally were no hiccups! We trusted Ren and her team from the beginning and that allowed for us to just be calm and confident that this major last minute change would be superbly executed. My favorite part of the experience with Ren was experiencing her heart for my daughter's vision and her attentiveness to her needs and wants with assurances that the day would be spectacular, despite weather complications. Her recommendations from the band, busing, big and small details during the ceremony, happy hour ambience in a tent requiring last minute forced air in rainy weather, and reception ideas and design were truly amazing. 36th Street Events will be my first pick for any future event.

Our wedding was last night, and I really don't have words for how supported we felt.

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!

Incredibly disappointing experience…read more 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.

So...when I realized that time had gotten away from me and my business anniversary date was coming up I had to cede control. I franticly reached out to people I know and Candace, with The Posh Picnic, was given to me as a top notch planner. Let me tell you she far exceeded my expectations. I was nervous that with only a week and a half to go she would turn me down flat or laugh. Neither of those happened and she and her team put together an amazing event. The decorations, food, and photo booth were a huge hit, everyone commented on how amazing the place looked and how much fun they had. I am so pleased with the work she did that I have already hired her to do our Fall Open House. Oh and she even came in under my anticipated budget so that was a big plus!! I highly recommend you use her for all you event planning needs you will not be disappointed!!!

Excellent service and very cute set up! 10/10 would book with them again on my next trip to Austin.read more

Our responsibilities leave us spread so thin that in order to try and plan a party or EVent of some type for our employees is merely impossible.

I mean EVentfullATX was spot on EVerything! Facebook EVent page, evite's, RSVP's, Follow-up's w/ vendors, etc. The honest truth of having someone as pleasant to work with as Jessica and the experience to finally just get back to your team members and not have to worry about the things that drive you insane when planning EVents. No preparations, No confirmations, No follow-ups, No clean-up or payouts, No break-down, etc. Simply show up, enjoy the time you have with dear ones and get back to why it is you do what you do day in and day out with the people you love to work with! That reason alone should be worth getting onboard. I simply can't recommend EVentfull ATX enough! CHEERS!
