If you are looking for a wedding planner who is incredibly talented, patient, devoted, flexible,…read moreand budget-friendly, look no further. Robyne Swink at Southern Affairs was seriously the perfect planner for us, and we could not have been happier! After chatting with 4-5 different planners in the Dallas area, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Robyne. She not only has a bubbly and genuine personality, but she also emphasized that her goal was to make us happy. I'm very particular about certain things, so I never wanted to feel like I was coerced into making certain decisions about the wedding. She was definitely the only planner I talked to who I felt would give me solid guidance without being overbearing. I hired her for month-of wedding planning services, which primarily involved pulling together all the vendors right before the wedding and coordinating everything on the day of the wedding. However, that did not stop Robyne from going above and beyond. Right when I signed our contract, she immediately started helping me with some vendor suggestions and even offered to come to some of the meetings with me (and this was over a year in advance!). A handful of our vendors came from her suggestions list, and they were all amazing. Also, Robyne checked in on us every couple of months during our planning process, making sure we were on schedule with everything. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my chest because I knew I could trust her to guide me through the process! Finally, on the day of our wedding, Robyne was the best. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing! She brought two other people with her (including her husband Jeremy, who also happened to be our DJ) to help out, and they definitely had all bases covered. All of our guests and bridesmaids were really impressed with how smoothly (and on time) everything went. She managed to resolve some major issues (like our photobooth showing up 1.5 hours late) without worrying us. Robyne paid attention to every little detail and even helped me fix my dress after one of the bustles broke! She was seriously like Wonder Woman that night :) I would highly recommend hiring Southern Affairs for any of your event needs. I did not have a single complaint about the job that they did for us. Robyne was not only our wedding planner, but she and Jeremy became good friends in the process. She can pretty much work with any style and with any budget. We are so, so glad that we hired her!

Out of all of my vendors to review, I have to review my wedding coordinator first because she's…read moresimply the best! Y'all, I don't know what I would've done without Brittany the last few months before my wedding. She's seriously so sweet and genuine, and she works hard to ensure you have a perfect and stress free wedding. I had two wedding ceremonies and I had a hard time finding a photographer for my first one. I asked Brittany for recommendations and within an hour she found the perfect photographer for me and put me into contact for her - it was such a lifesaver! One of my vendors didn't show up the night of my wedding and she handled it discretely and professionally to ensure I had fun on my wedding night. She was also able to calm me down when I was crying due to all of the frustration with the vendor. Those are just a couple of the things amongst many other things that Brittany helped me with. She's a jack of all trades. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further! Brittany, you are seriously such a gem and my wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without you!

Here is my experience with them. 1) Portrait Bouquet. Simple task, right? Not for Bows & Arrows. Alicia must have forgotten to make it, because when I went to pick it up, it was not ready and she ran to the back, used last weeks flowers, and put something together in the wrong shades of pink, and NONE of the flowers I ordered were in there. Not to mention the flowers were wilted and dead. My wedding planner spoke with Alicia about her poor work and said that we would not be paying her until she performed to high standards at the actual wedding. 3 days before the wedding, she calls and says she has no flowers for our wedding and will not be doing it because she has not received payment. After much arguing with her, we payed her reluctantly and she promised to provide for us on the wedding day. 2)Wedding Day: First of all, I CRIED when I saw my bouquet. It was that horrible. The flowers were dead, wilted, and all wrong from what I had ordered. As I was taking pre-wedding pictures, myself and all my bridesmaids were having to rip flowers out of our bouquet because they were wilting and falling over. I was mortified that my dear friends had such pathetic flowers. Not to mention the bouquets were TINY and therefore even smaller once they started ripping out flowers. The alter arrangements were horribly lopsided as well. Ruined all my pictures.... I will say, her petals lining my aisle were outstanding. So was every arrangement at the reception. I gave her some credit for that. 3) Post-Wedding: Sent Alicia an email explaining my disappointment and hoped for reimbursement. I heard from someone in her office saying it was best if they never speak with me or my family again. HORRIBLE customer service. We are continuing to try... Needless to say, DO NOT USE HER! Find someone else!

Our pastor and guest starting helping to unwrap the 4 pedestals and set the florals out as the guy kept telling us he wasn't the one to set up. A girl finally showed up around 1:00 to arrange the florals and pedestals, she walked up and down the aisle arranging the ground florals as the guest watched. This was the most unprofessional and embarrassing experience one could ask for. Guest at the reception were commenting that they started videoing the process because it was comical. This should never happen to anyone on their wedding day! We have waited a week for Sherpa to contact us and no one has. This speaks volumes about their lack of customer service.

We gave all that glam the opportunity and we are not disappointed, they exceeded all expectations. It has been already 5 months since we got married, and people are still talking about how perfect everything was. Carla and Nancy are incredibly easy to work with and they have many creative ideas, but most of all, they are genuinely kind persons. They were responsive, attentive, flexible, and highly professional. They were engaged in brainstorming and tailored the menu to exactly what we wanted, they helped with the décor, the music, everything!. And the desert? Oh God! Award winner! They made our fairy tail wedding not only real, but stress free. What can I say? Carla was also excellent when it came time to arrange the reception. Dallas has many offers, and we were really confused on what direction to take, but these girls stands head and shoulders above the rest! Highly recommended.

I remembered I never left a review for my wedding planner Jewel (I'm sorry I'm so late). But let me tell you all about Jewel. If you are looking for a planner who is a PERFECTIONIST, she's the one to hire. She stayed on top of everything, and kept me on top of everything as well. Not only was Jewel handling everything, she even handled me. A true bridezilla, control freak, and a bit of a hot head( I'm so sorry Jewel) but never not once did she become unprofessional. She kept me calm, kept reassuring me everything was going to be fine, and of course it definitely was. She went above and beyond to make sure my day was flawless. She's even managed to still reach out throughout the years just to check in on us. I don't know if I've ever told her how appreciative and grateful I am to have came across her business. Hiring her was by far the best decision I made for my wedding. Jewel, many thanks to you and your team for making my day so special and so beautiful! I still look back at that day and smile, and you're definitely one of the reasons for it!

My…read morecompany had a ten year anniversary event in Dallas for the first time and I found and recommended Farmhouse Elegance. Skyler was very accommodating when I placed two orders (two 15+ x floral arrangements for two separate dinner events) with her. I had two specific requests, one that no artificial flowers were to be used and second, the flowers used had to be sturdy to last the week. She responded that she will make sure to use only real flowers and that the flower will last the entire week's event. The first batch of arrangements arrived and my associate called me to run down to the conference room. I heard worry in her voice and when I arrived to see the arrangements, embarrassment was all I felt. The arrangements were too small for the table and some flowers were already dead. Sturdy, it was not! It couldn't even last a day let alone the week. I called Skyler and told her about the situation and she sent someone to replace the dead flowers. Now, I was worried about the second night event. She assured me that it will be bigger and nicer and she sent me a picture. I had already placed the order and I couldn't find another florist on such short time so I just hoped that the next night would be better. The second night, the second batch arrived and it was better but what did I find, artificial flowers in the arrangements. Skyler was no where to be found and her assistant explained that she couldn't fix it. I called Skyler asking why were there fake flowers when I specifically asked that all the flowers had to be real and she explained that her vendor made the mistake and sent bad flowers and she couldn't get white roses. I told her if I could find white roses within the two hours I had left before the event started that she would have to reimburse me and she agreed. Not from Dallas, I was able to call local shops around the hotel and run to the shop and grabbed several dozens of white roses. Skyler's assistant did stay behind and replaced the white roses. However, as I walked around to check on the arrangements, I noticed some of the hydrangeas had already wilted and all I could do was hide them as best as I could. Needless to say this experience was just frustrating and upsetting. I have still yet to receive my reimbursement after emailing several times with no responses. Save yourself the headache.
