I hired Stefanie to help me plan my wedding in Austin while we were still living in California. She helped us select our venue without ever having seen it and it was spectacular! She coordinated everything for me and helped with every little detail along the way. I am a new mom with a very busy job so her help was invaluable. All the vendors she recommended were outstanding. The day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch - it was perfect in everyway. We were actually able to enjoy ourselves at the wedding and not worry about the details. Our guests had a great time. Stefanie is an absolute gem, great to work with and will make your life so easy and fun! read more

When I started the wedding planning process, I couldn't imagine that we'd get to have such a gorgeous wedding! Everything was so beautiful and all the details tied together so well. It really exceeded all our expectations. We had friends and family comment that the wedding was exactly our style, and they were right! Both of our families commented on what a great job Cara did! Given that I didn't even see the venue till the wedding week, or try the cake or even the food before the wedding day (I was planning the wedding from out-of-town), it amazes me how well things came together. We put our faith and trust in the right person, and I'm so glad we did! Apart from being nervous right before the ceremony, my husband and I didn't have much to stress about. We even had mani/pedis and facials done in the morning/afternoon on the day of wedding It was a pleasure working with Cara and Stefanie-- if it weren't for them, both my husband and I would still be dragging our feet and our families would still be asking, "When is the wedding?" Cara was extremely organized, quick in responding to our questions, patient, and very helpful not just to us, but to our wedding guests. read more

If I could give Stefanie and her team more than five stars, I would! I hired Stefanie as my day of wedding coordinator, but she definitely helped me with more than just the day of. Stefanie is professional and responsive, but also laid back. I felt like I was having a very organized and knowledgeable friend help me with my wedding. Stefanie and her team did an awesome job. Our wedding was exactly what we wanted. Stefanie went above and beyond and really paid attention to every little detail. She gave great suggestions and advice, but wasn't pushy. Everything ran smoothly and she knew exactly what to do during each part of the ceremony and reception. Unlike most wedding-related things, Stefanie's services are VERY reasonably priced. If you're planning a wedding, hire Stefanie and her team immediately! It will be the best money you ever spent. read more

Stefanie and her team absolutely crushed it at our wedding! We hired Your Wedding, Your Way for their 'month of coordination' services. They did a great job reviewing all of our contracts, making sure we had taken care of all the details, building a diagram and timeline for the day of, saving us a bit of money by finding some mistakes, and coordinating the day of flawlessly. Honestly, everything went so well that my other friends who had just been married were saying 'man I wish I had hired your wedding planner'. The team also dealt with last minute emergencies like running out of an ingredient for our signature drink, and went to go get more during a slow point in the night. In addition, these guys are a great value! Significantly less expensive than competitors offering the same month of services. Don't think about it--just book these guys! read more

Stefanie and Kristin are THE BEST at what they do! They listen to what their clients want and deliver. I have worked with them on many weddings and events as a vendor and would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a wedding or event planner. What makes them stand out over other wedding planners? - Very quick to respond to emails and phone calls - Day of coordination is impeccable - Work within any budget... and I mean ANY budget - They do what they promise - They actually enjoy what they do, and it shows! - They find a way to make it happen when challenges occur read more

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Stefanie and Cara with Your Wedding, Your Way. We booked day-of coordination with them about 6 months in advance, and in my original meeting with Stefanie she was very helpful and gave lots of ideas and suggestions we ended up using. About a month before the wedding, Stefanie let us know that due to an emergency situation, Cara would be taking over as our coordinator. The transition went very smoothly and Cara never skipped a beat in taking over and easing our concerns. My husband and I had made a couple of rookie planning mistakes throughout the process, so Cara had her hands full trying to take care of all the typical month-of wedding details in addition to trying to help us remedy our mistakes. She was an absolute lifesaver! She basically took over all communication for me with vendors and made herself available to us what felt like 24/7. Everything on our wedding day went exactly as Cara and I had discussed. My husband and I absolutely cannot imagine what we would have done without her! Even after the wedding, when we were in a bit of a tiff with a different vendor, Cara and Stefanie both went to bat for my husband and I to make sure our voices were heard and that we were satisfied. Using Your Wedding, Your Way was absolutely the best investment we made for our wedding! read more

I LOVE Stefanie!! She was my day of coordinator for my wedding in January of this year. She MADE my wedding. When we talked before the wedding, she was so attentive and had great ideas and suggestions. She ran the rehearsal and was so great getting everyone organized and prepared for the next day. I had tons of decor for my ceremony, I talked with her about my vision for the wedding and then gave her boxes and boxes of stuff. When I walked in the the reception area it was better than I even imagined. I was anxious leading up to the wedding because I did so much planning and then I was handing it all over to someone else, but Stef was amazing!! She puts her heart into every detail. Everything ran so smoothly and looked beautiful. I didn't have to worry about anything but having fun! I truly believe that every bride needs a day of planner so that they and their family can relax and enjoy the day. Our wedding is being featured in The Knot Texas magazine and so much of that is because of how organized, creative and professional Stef and her staff were. I highly, highly recommend her :) read more

Cara and I worked a wedding together last weekend, and I was so impressed by how well-organized she was while being so cool and calm. As a fellow vendor in the industry, I've worked with a lot of planners who are often over their heads and I have to step in to make sure things run smoothly, but this wasn't the case with Cara at all. She exuded the control a planner should carry but did it with such a sweetness. I can tell how much our clients were thrilled with her work and if I work a wedding with her at the helm again, I'll know it'll be a terrific night! read more

I met with several different companies and I just couldn't quite find the perfect coordinator. But then, I met Stephanie and Cara! They both were so personable and fun. I knew at our first meeting I had to work with them. I just had a baby and I was MOH in my best friends wedding (the month before our wedding) needless to say, I was extremely tired. My husband and I just wanted a fun and relaxing weekend to celebrate our marriage. I didn't want to be bothered with all of the details that really go into a wedding. Most of my answers to wedding questions were "I don't care". I thought I was making it easy on everyone but our wedding party said it made it more difficult. Haha. Unlike our friends, Cara completely understood where we were coming from and went above and beyond. I bought all the decorations but I didn't want to deal with the silly details of where each napkin should be placed and etc. Cara took what I gave her and went with it. Our wedding and reception were at two separate venues in the middle of downtown. It was also on a weekend where there were several other major festivals. I'm sure there were so many problems, but I never heard of any! My only request for our wedding was for it to be stress free and fun for everyone and Cara made it happen! These ladies are great at what they do and are also wonderful people. I feel truly blessed to have been able to work with them. Xoxo read more

i met with stef today for a planning consultation for my upcoming wedding. i have to say that she made things so much easier and quicker! if you are planning a wedding and feel overwhelmed by the details, she will have the answers. i highly recommend stefanie's consultation services if you're doing things yourself, but feel that you need to meet with an experienced planner/coordinator for a few hours to make sure you've thought everything through. she helped me make a day-of timeline very quickly when i would have worked on it for hours on my own. totally worth it. read more

Stefanie and YWYW are AH-MAZING!! They're the calm in the middle of the wedding planning storm! I live in houston and was planning my wedding in austin. i had booked my photographer and my venue. my venue was super cute, but did not come with anything except for a couple of chairs and tables. after wasting a lot of time on the internet trying to find and figure out all the other pieces i needed, i decided to hire a wedding planner. my mom found Your Wedding Your Way on yelp and i spoke with stefanie on the phone and immediately got along with her. One of the first things we did was set up an overall budget and then split that up between the various aspects of the wedding. During this process, she was very honest and let us know up front based on her experience with different vendors whether or not we would be able to find something in that particular budget and had suggestions on what we could cut back on if we did certain things ourselves to make the budget work. This budget conscious approach was great in keeping the wedding costs from skyrocketing out of control! We communicated often and I received updates from her weekly regarding what she had done and what decisions had to be made. Anytime I had a question, she was very patient and answered me promptly and made sure I understood before moving on. My mom had a lot of differing opinions about what we should do for the wedding and when she could tell I was stressing out, I especially appreciated Stefanie being a great mediator, acknolwedging my mom's input while reminding her about the budget and what I had voiced that I wanted to do. Stefanie suggested different vendors and we met with them. She was very encouraging and made sure I understood that if I was not completely satisfied with their impression, that was totally okay and we could look for more vendors. There was no limit to how many vendors we could look at, as long as in the end, I was not settling for a vendor I was not 100% sure about. On the day of, there were some logistical problems with our outside tables due to the strength of the wind and she was very calm when she told me and suggested a solution and cleared it with me before moving ahead with it. I was glad she didn't just present the problem without advice on how to solve it! We had 4 planners there to coordinate everything and they all had really cool CIA-style earpieces! Everything went SO SMOOTHLY and EVERYONE including myself and the groom had such a great time because we did not have to worry about pointing vendors in the right direction or cueing the DJ to play the processional or other details! I have had so many compliments on how fun and perfect the wedding was and I know it would not have been possible without Stefanie and Your Wedding Your Way! I highly recommend Your Wedding Your Way for ANY kind of wedding service you need, whether it be day of or full planning! read more

Cara was amazing!!! She eased my nerves the week of my wedding. Although not everything went as planned, it was still a great day! We had to go with a rain plan two days before my wedding which was totally a bummer. I am so grateful I had a hard working wedding planner there my wedding day. Cara is a very good listener and made sure she did everything possible to make the wedding run as smoothly as possible. The only downsides have been that I did loose a few of my things at the end of the night even though I provided an item list. Maybe not Cara's fault but I did think she was responsible for everything on my item list. Also our wedding cake was a complete disappointment and have asked my wedding planner to help with that. It's not really her fault, but our baker just hasn't been responsive to us. Would be a 5 star review except for these two things! I definitely recommend Cara! She was amazing to work with and will do everything in her power to make you happy on your wedding day! read more

Stefanie was incredible to work with for my son and daughter in-law's wedding. We signed up for the total package and it was worth every penny! When we signed up with YWYW I thought we were hopelessly behind and could never pull off the wedding we wanted, but Stefanie has this down with excellent vendor recommendations and seriously detailed organization. On the day of, she and Abby ensured that we could all completely enjoy the day and not have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend YWYW. read more

We used YWYW as our wedding coordinators, and they did SUCH an awesome job! I planned my entire wedding, and needed someone to take over the month before our big day. Stefanie and her team are amazing! Very professional, fun to work with and make you feel comfortable, stress-free and at ease on your special day. They go out of their way to make sure you are relaxed, having fun and not worrying about a thing on your big day. They are so ON IT, I recommend every bride in Austin work with them. They are very affordable, and do so much for you! read more

I planned most of my wedding by myself, but as the day approached I started to panic over all of the details and loose ends. After reading their glowing reviews, I contacted Your Wedding, Your Way and I am so glad I did! Cara and her assistant were there 'day of' to help make sure my day was flawless. We had a month of contact before the big day and when the day arrived, I knew I could count on Cara to make sure it was perfect - and it was. She knows the in and outs of weddings and vendors, she's fun to be around and she makes sure you have the best day of your life. She also responded within the hour - if not less - to all of my emails. Your Wedding, Your Way is amazing. read more

I worked with Stef and the YWYW gang last March, and I have to say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From the moment of the first phone interview, Stefanie got who I was and what I wanted and made sure that it was to happen! Getting married out of town is a lot more difficult than it would seem. My husband and I knew that we wanted to get married in Austin, but living in Houston and with the both of us working crazy schedules we knew that we would never have the time on our own to go and find vendors. Stefanie compiled a list of everything - venues, caterers, flowers, ect. - so that when we did have a day to come and look, we could get everything done. She even would go so far as to say "I've given you three great vendors, but you will chose this one." And she was right every single time! (Had I just listened to her in the beginning I could have saved my husband and I a lot of time!). The best thing about YWYW is not their expertise (believe me, that is great too), or even their organizational skills (AMAZING), but the fact that you can tell that each and every employee there CARES about their clients. Even after the wedding is over, I feel like I have a strong bond with Stefanie, and she is still always there for me when I need her. So needless to say, if you are looking for a coordinator for your wedding, I HIGHLY recommend that you go with Your Wedding, Your way. Because that is what they are about - giving you the best experience they can, while giving you the wedding of your dreams. read more

Stefanie is a calming, healing voice of reason among the cacophony of vendors, magazines, websites and conventions that surround a modern wedding. She navigated us successfully through the planning processes and the insanity of the day, utilizing logic born of much-needed experience. After all, this was the first time any of us had ever planned a modern wedding! Your Wedding, Your Way's services were the best gift I got for my wedding, thanks to my MIL realizing that I was underwater. I would recommend Stefanie and her valuable expertise to anybody planning a wedding - she is invaluable! read more

We got the Day of Wedding Package, and Kristin Catter was our coordinator. What a great job she did for us! Not only was she professional and thorough, she was PATIENT and CHEERFUL no many how many times we went back to her to reschedule things! We were so pleased with and grateful for her work. read more

I'm a project manager by profession but I absolutely did not want to project manage my own wedding. 6 months away from my wedding, reality set it and I realized how much easier it would be to have a day-of coordinator instead trying to do it all within the immediate bridal party. Stefanie worked with me on budget to find something we could afford, and I was so glad she did. Cara was my day of coordinator, and simply put, she was exceptional. She kept me focused, proactively found several ways to reduce costs or avoid unnecessary charges, and offered tasteful and logical solutions to sticky logistic issues that were baffling me. The day of the event was organized and ran smoothly. Cara and her assistant were unobtrusively running things in the background, and coordinated well with my maid of honor, so both myself and the groom could focus on my guests and the celebration. What I wasn't expecting was the influx of emails and Facebook updates that night- all with the same message: Best wedding ever! I could not have done that alone. Worth. Every. Penny. read more

Kristin made our wedding so memorable, because she took care of every detail and it allowed us to focus on what the day was all about - our marriage. Kristen was in constant communication with everyone involved in our wedding. My wife and I never once stressed about anything, because Kristin was taking care of it. You will not regret hiring Your Wedding, Your Way. They will make sure your wedding is spectacular and a day that you will never forget. read more

My wife and I are busy, disorganized, and procrastinating people. Just being honest. While planning our own wedding, we chose the venue, interviewed with the vendors, and came up with the overall idea of the wedding. However, as the wedding date rapidly crept up on us, there were still items that were undone. We needed someone to pull it all together as the day drew closer and closer. We signed up with for the Loose Ends package with Stefanie at Your Wedding, Your Way. This includes a month of unlimited contact starting a month before the wedding, and a coordinator on the day of the wedding. Without Stefanie's assistance and her great attention to detail, my wife and I would have been so trapped in the minutia, that our wedding might have been a disaster. When our month began, Stefanie become the primary person in contact with our vendors. She kept the table/chair rental up-to-date with our continually evolving list of rental items. She made sure that every vendor received their money and were confirmed for the wedding day. She helped us put together a detailed timeline and task list for the ceremony and reception. She secured an excellent florist at the last minute when H-E-B bailed on us. She recommended a caterer for us. She made sure that all we actually purchased all of the things we said we were going to purchase. The Loose Ends package at YWYW was money well spent. The sense of relief that I felt when I arrived to the ceremony and saw that everything was set up correctly is indescribable. Thanks Stefanie! read more

I wish I could give them more than five stars! I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are. They took control of wedding planning, kept me within budget, and gave me the wedding of my dreams. I never had to stress out about any detail, because they had it all under control. They know everyone in the business and chose the PERFECT DJ, caterer, photographer, etc., and all for a great price. They also really went above and beyond. When my (now) mother-in-law mentioned at our rehearsal dinner that she likes margaritas, Stef went out and bought tequila and margarita mix just for her! It's that dedication, attention to detail, and desire to make sure everything was perfect that I think separates YWYW from the rest. I can't recommend Stef and her team enough. They really are wonderful. read more

Cara and Stef at YWYW did a wonderful job with our wedding, from start to finish. Having a wedding planner was a no-brainer for me, since I travel a lot for work. The number of details related to wedding planning are ridiculous, and I knew that I and my fiance would need help. From the moment we met Stef at YWYW, we felt like she knew exactly what she was doing. We really liked their system of using Google Docs for information exchange and updates, and not a single detail was overlooked. Partway into planning, we were handed off from Stef to Cara, and we have no complaints about this as they both did a great job. I won't lie, the price tag for having a full-service wedding planner is hefty, but I can safely say, one month after the wedding, that it was very worth it to hire these fabulous ladies. read more

I could not have planned my wedding without Stefanie. I COULD NOT HAVE PLANNED MY WEDDING WITHOUT STEFANIE. On the third time that I called my mom crying about wedding planning, she sent me three referrals for wedding coordinators. I called Your Wedding, Your Way and one other company to set up a consultation appointment. Stefanie blew me away with her knowledge, calm demeanor, and precise spreadsheets. She was always available to help, to offer advice, and to listen. So great! Call her right now! read more

What a wonderful experience! Once in a life time do you get the chance to do something so amazing and they really know what they're doing! The wedding was perfect! Thanks so much for the wonderful work you guys do! read more

I had the great pleasure to work with stefanie, cara and kaylyn for our wedding this past weekend and I can honestly say I couldn't have done it without them. Stefanie and cara were amazing during the planning process- they really made making decisions easy by providing quotes from several different vendors. Ultimately, all I had to do was pick between a couple of options for each service. I'm a full time graduate student and I cannot imagine trying to plan our wedding by myself. These gals really know what they're doing and they actually made planning FUN! Kaylyn was fantastic as the day of coordinator, so many people raved about how calm and organized she was throughout the whole day. Brides: please do yourself a favor and hire Ywyw immediately. I swear, it'll be the best money you spend! read more

To all yelpper brides looking for a wedding planner in Austin TX, do yourself a favor and choose Your Wedding Your Way! I have worked as a Wedding Planner/Catering Sales Manager at a hotel in Key West, FL (#3 wedding destination in the country) for about 3 years and I cannot praise Stefanie Yandell and the rest of the YWYW staff for the Flawless Success that was my wedding this past week on 11.12.13. I had never been to Austin before I arrived for my wedding weekend I could not have asked for a better person to work with throughout the process than Stefanie. From the day I booked to the last moment of my wedding day, I could not have been happier with my choice to use YWYW. Being that i was not familiar with the area, I relied solely on the suggestion and expertise of Stefanie for much of the planning process and she made it completely stress free, relaxing, and honored every single request I had! She prepared a detailed timeline and coordinated with all of the vendors and everything ran sooooo smoothly! Her presence is calming and totally confidant which is exactly what you need in a wedding planner. Her assistant for the day, Cara, was also amazing. Even only meeting them on the day before my wedding, I felt like I had known them my whole life and felt completely comfortable with them, and had the utmost trust in them to do their job, and they STILL exceeded my expectations. It was such a pleasure to work with them. Being in the industry, I can sympathize with the amount of work it takes to make a flawless wedding happen and I am still in Awe of success that was my wedding day. It is, by far, the best day of my life to date... and I know that may sound cliche but it is 100% the TRUTH, and I owe that to Stefanie, Cara and Your Wedding Your Way. David and I Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our day better than we could ever dream of!!! Please please book YWYW for your upcoming wedding!! It WILL be perfect! read more

I used Stefanie with YWYW for our April 21, wedding at Vintage Villas, and I am SOOO glad I hired her to help me with the planning and coordinating. She was a pleasure to work with, so helpful during the ceremony and reception and a life-saver the week before the wedding when I was trying to tie up all the last minute details. She made sure everyone from the transportation company to the florist to the photographer was on the same page and on time. I planned our Austin wedding from California, so I knew from the start I wanted a wedding planner. But I have to say, even if I was planning from Texas, having Stefanie run the day and handle all the details leading up to the day was priceless. My mom and friends were able to sit back and enjoy the day with me instead of running around setting things up and packing at the end of the night. She also pulled through with some last minute solutions when I forgot a few things for the ceremony. I realized I forgot some items and before I could even stress about it, she had it covered and under control. Before my wedding day, everyone kept telling me the day would go by so fast, I would hardly remember it. And I knew I wanted to remember everything, Stefanie and her crew did all the work so I could focus on our day and soak up every last detail. I have so many great memories. Thank You! read more

Cara and YWYW were phenomenal. Our wedding was perfect and we couldn't have pulled it off without all of their help!

Cara at Your Wedding Your Way was an invaluable help to making our wedding day run smoothly. We contacted her about 45 days before our wedding and she hit the ground running after an hour-long meeting where we discussed everything we had planned or left unplanned. Being spreadsheet nerds, we worked very well with her using Google Docs. Cara also quickly familiarized herself with all our vendors and helped us nail down the last few details we had on our to-do list like getting insurance, planning florals, planning the alcohol order, and hiring hair & make-up. She ran our rehearsal efficiently and kept our wedding day running like clockwork, being very available for calls & texts for the whole weekend. I can't imagine how we could have done it without having her, including the packing up and venue walkthrough at the end of the night. We are so glad we hired her for the 'Loose Ends - Late Leave' package. read more

I honestly can't praise Your Wedding Your Way and Stefanie Yandell enough for the job that was done at my wedding. I hired YWYW for day of coordinating (loose ends, late night service). From the moment I met with Stef and had our walk through a month prior to the event, I felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. I literally could not have pieced together all of the puzzle pieces I had been working on for 7 months without her. Honestly, my wedding would have been sad had I not had Stefanie looking after the small details. In addition, I could not have asked for a better person to work with the day of. Stefanie has a true talent at solving any sort of problem that may occur (big or small). In our case, she had stain remover to remove the dirt marks from my dress that happened while taking pictures before the ceremony. HUGE! Then, she had the insight to know that we were going to run out of vodka and white wine fairly early in the night and was able to warn us and put a resolution plan into place before any of the guests had any idea. Finally, Stefanie was so patient yet effective at dealing with crazy Latin American family. She gracefully got us all into gear and kept the nights events flowing without a hitch. Thank you Stefanie for all that you did to make my wedding a grand success! read more

Stefanie was my Day-of-Coordinator. She was made to do this job. She has the absolute perfect personality and mind to be a wedding planner. I know I am sometimes impossible to please and expect way too much out of people...Hiring a coordinator was a bit scary for me. I was so afraid of "letting go" of the planning and trusting anyone else to execute the plans for my wedding day. Now that the wedding day has come and gone, I know that I made the best decision. I cannot imagine anyone else that would have done a better job that Stefanie...IN THIS WORLD!. She was calm, funny, sweet, and thoughtful throughout all of our discussions and meetings. Then came the wedding day... She was IN CHARGE like no other. She ran that ship and the entire day was seamless. If anything actually started to go wrong, I never noticed it. She and Kristin were incredible at making every single moment go not only as good as I wanted, but way better. There is no way I (or my parents..or my groom) would have been able to relax and enjoy the day without their help. If you think you can have family and friends help out with the things a planner would on the day of your wedding- you're crazy. Sure, they might help, but they probably have no experience and then they'll be angry they didn't get to drink as much and dance as much as they could have. Oh and- get this, One of my bridesmaids demanded the Cha Cha Slide- but then no one (including her) knew how to do it.. Well, Stefanie got right out there and showed everybody what to do. She is AMAZING!!! OK- I could go on all day- but Your Wedding, Your Way is affordable, honest, and they made my wedding day the best I could dream it to be. read more

I used Stefanie as my wedding coordinator for the year before and day of service. This was the smartest choice I have made throughout the process. She is truly amazing not only as a coordinator but as a friend. She has an easy to use email system and calendar as well as weekly updates that are either done via telephone, skype or in person. She is very easy to get a hold of and is prompt to answer questions via email. Overall the experience was superb I am truly blessed to have had her there on my wedding day and in my life. It is actually a funny story how we met, we are basically from the same town but had never met and have so much in common. We love twilight, enough said. We will definitely be hanging out in the future. The day of the wedding was perfect I could not have asked for a better wedding. Everything went smoothly and Kristin (Stefanie's co-pilot) was excellent in making sure everyone was in line and guests were in the right area and directing them to where they needed to go. The system they use during the wedding is a walky talky system to make sure in our case we didnt see each other before the wedding. Everything went very well and I couldnt have picked a better company to trust with my special day. The reason I would choose this company over another wedding coordinator service would be: 1. The price, you absolutely cannot beat the price and what it entails in the austin area. 2. The girls who run the business, you are not going to find people like this just anywhere. The girls that run the business are "Team Bride" they will do whatever it takes to make sure your day is unforgettable. They have the most down to earth personalities and they worked with me on a budget. I was actually turned away by several companies and YWYW welcomed me with open arms. 3. The business is organized there are no questions on the day of the wedding as to where the caterer is going to set up the buffet. 4. The responsibility is out of your hands, there is no worrying on the day of the wedding. That was a huge concern of mine and I didn't even think about worrying the day of the wedding my main focus was on having a good time and enjoying the moment with friends and family. They exceeded my expectations on this aspect. I love this company, I love Stefanie and Kristin! read more

I had the pleasure of attending by daughters wedding that was coordinated by Cara. I did not hire her as this was chosen by another family member. I had concerns way in advance about the parking at this venue and to things not being communicated by the coordinator my son missed the wedding due to trying to park cars as a courtesy since that had not been addressed like I asked. Also, my husband which is the brides step father was told to walk behind me in the procession down the isle. It was the most uncomfortable thing ever and I was asked by several guests why in the world was it done that way... Well because Cara said so! Don't get me wrong the wedding was beautiful and everything else turned out wonderful but when you have 2 family members feel out of place due to the coordinator not doing their job you cannot feel comfortable recommending them. read more

Stef and Lindsay were the best decision I made for my wedding. Their spreadsheets of every last detail made me drool during our consultation and they were always available to jump in and calm my wedding nerves. My first venue closed and Stef calmly walked me through all my options and even took the initiative to help me get my deposit back when we changed venues. It was so great to show up on the day of my wedding and not have to worry about a damn thing. All the decor was put out and people were all in the right spaces at the right times. There was a snafu with the catering where I was given food I was allergic to and Lindsay checked in to see what changes needed to be made to our timeline and what that meant for the rest of the evening. I would definitely recommend booking the late leave package because all our stuff magically (aka Lindsay) ended up in our car and we just got to drive off into the night. When I said we were working with YWYW, every single one of my vendors breathed a sigh of relief and said "You're in good hands." These ladies know their stuff and are a huge part of what made my wedding so amazing. read more

We worked with your wedding your way to plan our October wedding. My fiancé and I live in Washington, D.C. but planned our wedding in Austin at a friend's house. Stephanie was great about giving us advice that I really depended on being so far away and also not really into weddings as some brides are. We were pretty laid back but keen on certain aspects like having a photo booth and welcome drinks. They found us a slow motion photo booth that was so much fun and wonderful bartenders who were really flexible for us. In general, they did a great job about pushing hard for the things that were important to us and keeping us on track for the details that were less important but still needed attention. I would definitely recommend them, especially if you consider yourself to be a bride or groom who wants to plans great party that reflects you and your partner but feel overwhelmed by the craziness that tends to accompany all things wedding. read more

I hired Cara to coordinate the day of my wedding and at first I was hesitant about spending more money on my wedding. But I cannot express how much it was worth spending every penny! From the first day they took over the planning literally all of the stress that came with planning my own wedding was gone. Cara was beyond organized and on top of things and thought of details about my wedding day that I didn't even think of (and I am super creative and detail oriented!). I cannot tell you how many people came up to me the weekend of my wedding and talked about how amazing Cara and her staff were- yes that's right! Even my friends and family noticed how on top of things she was! Not to mention her hilarious and fun personality. She had my fiancee and I laughing the whole planning process and even the day of. She made the process of planning our wedding fun and exciting, not stressful. She took all of the stress out of it for us and I am confident our wedding would not have been as amazing or gone as smoothly without her. If you need a day of coordinator, do not hire anyone else! read more

I hired Stefanie from Your Wedding Your way for the day of coordination which really she starts working with you 1 month before and I am so glad I did! I am a OCD planner and like things a certain way but I knew that on the wedding day I couldn't do everything. Stefanie was a life saver! We talked about the wedding the month before so she was up to date on everything and talked to all my vendors for me it was great! All the little details and things I hadn't thought of Stefanie made sure to go over. For our rehearsal it was short and to the point which was awesome. Then came the wedding day and I was so nervous and I forgot about everything but I knew I was in good hands with Stefanie. She was there to make sure things like the corsages and boutonnieres were put on straight, that the cheesecake arrived on time, that my candles were turned on, that my dessert table was refilled, cut my cakes, passed out my dancing props, made sure that all the vendors were doing what they were supposed to. I was just so overwhelmed and so was my family but Stefanie was always there to save the day and keep things flowing. Little things that came up Stefanie was there to help smooth it over and help me keep my head straight. She was there when I needed her but not hovering over me at all which I loved. I seriously don't know how a bride handles a wedding without a professional coordinator because it's seriously a lot to handle and you don't truly know until you have been through one. So do yourself a favor and if you have to fix your budget do it but you have to invest in a coordinator because you will be so glad you did. TRUST ME! And Your Wedding Your Way is the best! We can't thank Stefanie and her staff enough! Thank you!!! Nubia Lemons read more

When my daughter said she wanted a formal wedding with all the bells and whistles, I knew we need to hire a wedding planner to help us. Drum roll....after many interviews with Austin wedding planners, we found YWYW and Stefanie! I can't say enough good to fully express the wonderful service and help that Stefanie and her team provided us thoughout this process. Stephanie and her team were highly responsive to our calls and emails. She provided guidance when asked and offered suggestions when we were dealing with a problem. She was calm under pressure and reassured us with her signature "We got this." statement. The wedding was just last week and we were so happy with how easy and special this was. Though I'm sure that Stefanie and her team were working their tails off, we (the family and the bride) just showed up and had the best tme at the wedding! I highly recommend you hire YWYW to coordinate your event so that you can relax and enjoy the day. We did and our daughter's dream day was a reality due to Stefanie and her team's effort! read more

My daughter's wedding was in May and it couldn't have gone any smoother. We hired YWYW for the last month of planning to help with all the loose ends. Stefanie had great suggestions to help with our planning--she's very organized and detailed in every way. She had experience with the venue we were using and the caterers. Everything was running smoothly. Then 3 days before the wedding, Stefanie had to put another wedding coordinator with us due to a serious medical issue. I was a little worried thinking no one could be as good as Stefanie, but I was wrong. Cara came in, took over the reigns and we all bonded immediately--she is fantastic! This is the most organized group of people I've been around in a long time and my daughter's wedding was completely stress free for all of us. Cara was always there throughout the night making sure everything ran smoothly and always checking to see if we needed anything. Everything went like clockwork thanks to Cara! I can only say that I highly recommend YWYW to anyone planning a wedding--you will not be disappointed with their service. Well worth the money spent. read more
