Absolutely stunning!…read more We chose Dream Events to do the florals for our wedding and we were 110% satisfied with the service and flowers we received. We had several video calls with Caesar to help bring our vision to life. In each video call, he knew exactly what to ask and was very knowledgeable about specific florals. Our vision shifted several times and Caesar was very patient with us and happy to make changes so we could get exactly what we wanted. We did our mock-up with Sergio and he was so sweet and did a great job helping us design our centerpieces. The pricing is upfront and very fairly priced. They provided an organized contract with photos of exactly what your florals will look like and how much each arrangement will cost so there are no surprises. We never even saw the florists the day of the wedding, everything was just magically set up perfectly before the ceremony and reception. The photos speak for themselves. If you want your dream florals without breaking the bank, I would highly recommend Dream Events.

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.

It has taken me awhile to write a review for Heather at Vintage&Lace because I cannot put into…read morewords how amazing she and her company is. Heather was a life saver, a friend, and truly the best person to ever help us plan our wedding. Heather's rates are incredibly affordable for her expertise and connections. My husband proposed to me in February 2021 with the goal of us getting married in September 2021. I was very overwhelmed with the idea of planning a wedding an did not know what to do. So I procrastinated until about the end of April when I realized I was in way over my head. We contacted Heather based off of previous reviews and affordability. After hiring Heather, she took the reins on the wedding and kicked it into high gear. She gave us so many referrals and contacts from photographers to caterers to wedding runner suggestions. She was so professional and knowledgeable about each task and partnered with me in getting it all done. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is ORGANIZED! She has a master spreadsheet which is KILLER for anyone who loves a good Excel. She had everything itemized and thought out to the button on when/where to do things. With her by my side, I knew my wedding was going to be perfect. She helped with design/vision ideas and with calling vendors up. We contacted Heather at a short notice that we were going to walk-through our venue and she was there ready and armed with her iPad to take notes and show visual ideas. Heather can also act as a day-of-coordinator or will have one of her experienced professionals assist. Victoria was our DOC and was absolutely the sweetest. On the day of the wedding, she bought me coffee and effortlessly jumped into it all. When my matron of honor's dress ripped in half, she didn't even bat an eye! She was incredible! I will never forget our conversations with each other either -- it felt like we were good friends by the end of the day and I had only known her for 10 hours! Heather is the BEST wedding planner in the Austin area and beyond. She was so good that she even helped my twin sister plan her wedding. I cannot thank Heather and Victoria enough.

There aren't adequate words for how awesome Heather is and how thankful my husband and I are that…read morewe booked Vintage & Lace for our wedding last month, but here goes! We were already leaning toward hiring a coordinator but then our venue (Ma Maison) required us to have one so we contacted their entire list of preferred vendors for coordinators and we are so glad we did because that's how we found Heather from Vintage & Lace!! Of all of the planners and coordinators we talked to, I was just immediately drawn to how warm, friendly, AND organized she is. Heather is an absolute pro with countless weddings under her belt, but still so kind and easy to talk to. Then, despite planning our wedding from another city, Heather made it SO easy and smooth. We technically only booked her for day-of coordination (with full communication/access the month prior) but from day one, she was still always available via call, email, text, whathaveyou, no matter when or what kind of (ridiculous, I'm sure) questions I had. We didn't actually meet Heather in person until our rehearsal the day before our wedding, and she was an absolute ROCK STAR the entire weekend. She managed to wrangle our large wedding party (14 bridesmaids and groomsmen) and all of our family (including bilingual and non-native English speakers, as well as divorced family) with both grace and authority. It's also worth noting we had several extras (a Chinese tea ceremony before our wedding ceremony, two large shuttles to transport our guests to and from Dripping Springs, getting Whataburger delivered to our venue for a late night snack) and Heather handled EVERYTHING seamlessly. Anything I thought of or had concerns about, she handled before I even voiced them to her! If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I have no idea what it was, because Heather was ON it. She was also incredibly thoughtful and adaptable, from my mom wanting to move the cake-cutting earlier, to making sure all of our belongings were packed away and that we had plenty of snacks and drinks in our getaway car. Her day-of assistant, Jasmine, was also so helpful and sweet. They both made the entire weekend just a wonderful, fun, amazing experience where we got to fully enjoy getting married and celebrating with family and friends. I can't recommend Heather and Vintage & Lace more highly -- BOOK HER NOW! I won't say "you won't regret it," but rather, you'll regret it if you don't! Heather, thank you thank you thank you SO much for all your hard work and support in making sure our wedding was an amazing, dreamy, unforgettable experience!

Where do I begin with the level of service Elena and her team deliver? We originally weren't…read moreplanning to hire a day-of coordinator, but after our maid of honor recommended Elena, we are so grateful we did. Elena jumped on a Zoom call just one week before the wedding and took the time to fully understand our vision for our backyard venue and vendor coordination. On the wedding day, dark clouds and rain threatened the ceremony, but Elena arrived early and embraced the challenge with grace and determination. She set up the most beautiful and seamless wedding despite the weather, and her calm, humble presence made us feel completely at ease. Even a week later, we're still getting phone calls from guests raving about how amazing the wedding was -- all thanks to Elena's skill, experience, and dedication. She staged the venue perfectly, went above and beyond in unexpected circumstances, and her 10+ years of professional experience truly shine through. We cannot recommend Elena enough!

Right from the start, Mel very clearly grasped our daughter's theme and "vision," and she was also extremely mindful of the budget as she helped us navigate all the details. Her shared spreadsheets tracked every detail and she provided so many helpful recommendations and services that we would have never known about or thought of. We were very confident going into the wedding day, knowing Mel had coordinated final contracts and deliverables, arrival and departure times, and any special needs on the day of with all of our vendors. On the day of, Mel and Emily worked their tails off to make everything gorgeous and seamless so that we could focus on enjoying the day and the guests. Every time a vendor arrived, we simply pointed them to Mel, and that was that. Our bar staff stiffed us at the end of the night, disappearing during the send-off without cleaning glasses off tables. And before we knew it, Mel and Emily were clearing everything on their own. You couldn't choose a better team than Bird Dog!

My experience is coming from the view of the groom/husband. Hiring Arleen (Silverio House) was a…read morehuge mistake. The first meeting that I had with her made it seem as if my wife and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. This obviously did not happen. She promised a seamless experience but failed to deliver at every turn. Communication was slow and unreliable. Any vendors that she recommended were either way out of our budget, not wanting what my wife and I had envisioned, or Arleen struggled to secure any sort of confirmation from them. In fact, it took ME reaching out to one of her vendors to get any response. This led to an argument in which my wife and I were told to "NOT CONTACT ANY VENDOR" on our own without going through her. Communication went silent the week of our wedding. On the day of our wedding, it was chaos. She would ask us questions on things that were discussed multiple times since we started working with her. Save yourself the stress and find someone else!

Two stars is too nice. Arleen overpromised and underdelivered…read more I had a stroke in July 2023, so since I needed to focus on getting better, we decided to get a planner. We booked their "decor package" and day-of coordinator. When I met Arleen via Zoom, I was in a wheelchair and might've been fresh from getting my trach removed - so she essentially hustled for a handicap. She said she would help out with this and that, "let me handle it" kind of speech. More times than I can count, I had to be the one to reach out for follow-ups on anything; half the time, she had no follow-ups on anything anyways. Sometimes, I ended up having to go around her and just DM the vendor directly on Instagram for an actual answer. Part of her job responsibilities was vendor management; she was so rude and neglectful to a couple of my vendors. The week before the day, she didn't even reach out to me to talk about design. Instead, she wanted to bother me every 5 minutes while I'm trying to get glammed. Honestly, I can go on. But. The point of all of this is Arleen ended up causing a lot more stress than help, especially for the money we paid her. And when I went down with a stroke, I didn't work for 5 months, so we spent money on savings on a planner to help us. We could have saved that money instead. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Def a great little spot for outdoor concerts…read more Not sure why more acts don't come thru here - it's smaller and more manageable than Stubbs and it has very nice bathrooms. We've seen the Strumbellas here twice and truly don't know why more indie acts don't choose this spot over Stubbs. The stage itself is small but the sound system is great and while I don't LIKE it, I definitely understand why they charge for their elevated back bar area (deemed premium seating, at $40 a seat, you get a reserved spot to park it for your event and a great view of the stage). On site there's a hot dog stand and for sure this guy has his supply and demand system down. He smartly uses a fan to waft the mouth-watering aroma of grilled dogs all throughout the venue. Vegetarians need not respond but I would love to find any meat loving person who can go an entire concert here without buying a dog...I'm waiting lol Seriously though, for $10 the dogs are juicy, smothered in good stuff and they absolutely SLAP. Parking sucks but that's anywhere downtown. Street parking if you're lucky, otherwise, they do have an event parking deal with a fairly close parking garage.
