Tunes Across Texas is the DJ I used for my wedding. They were reasonable in price comparatively,…read moreand Linda, who I emailed with, was pretty reliable and definitely very nice. The reason I don't give them more than three stars is because the selling point upon which my decision rested was that they let you choose what songs you want to play. You can go through their extensive catalog, and even upload other tracks you want played. So I was excited to make our own playlist. Well, he didn't follow it so well. Maybe like 1/2 of the songs he played were ones we had chosen. I understand people make requests, and that's fine, but I thought the rest of the songs would be ones we'd chosen. He played Will Smith, guys. Will Smith. I rest my case.

Working with Jennifer was an absolute delight from start to finish- and believe me when I tell you…read morethat my wedding was a JOURNEY. It went from a micro wedding in the hill country to last minute an elopement in a hotel room. Jen showed resilience, dedication, and poise through the whole ordeal. She knows everybody and everybody loves working with her. I was so impressed watching her work and interact with all the vendors. I can tell there is a mutual respect there and that goes a long way with me. My wedding day was beautiful, serene, and so special despite all of the obstacles (including a snow storm) and Jen made it ALL happen. She wrangled all the vendors, kept me from losing it, and pulled the whole thing off with flare. She even held my phone for my entire ceremony so family could watch virtually from home. She literally became a tripod for me. You will be in good hands if you use Jen and her team for your wedding- take my word on that!

As a wedding professional who works with Event Planners/Wedding Planners regularly, I'd like to…read moreshare how wonderful Jen, Shannon, and the folks with Altar Ego Weddings are! We coincidentally worked 2 weddings on back-to-back weekends. I was the DJ, and it was really impressive to witness Jen effectively take care of 2 completely different types of clientele equally! Our array of clients often have different personality types and preferences/tastes, and a TRUE professional can knock it out of the park in any situation. Both weddings were very detailed affairs, and the best Planners like Jen shoulder it all, run it all without showing a bead of sweat or discomfort. She also knows how to let the vendors like myself do their thing, while also staying on-target throughout the day. If you consider Altar Ego, you're in the right place. After meeting and connecting with them, you'll get a sense of how much they care, and how deeply and critically they think about your affair.

Lauren created and served drinks at my recent wedding, and it was a great experience. Especially…read morefor the price, you couldn't do better. She came to my house to make drinks for us to sample before choosing the menu, and she let us buy our own alcohol and ingredients ourselves - so no upcharge on the supplies. She slung drinks and made conversation with guests for hours, no problem. (And this just a few days after dealing with flooding in Wimberley.) She was also willing to stay (for a fee, of course) to do some of our post-event clean up. She's young and just starting out, so still getting her feet wet professionally. But we were pumped to give a local entrepreneur a chance and she really delivered. Recommend.

I emailed Lauren on March 7th and she emailed me back within minutes asking for date/time/location of our event. I wrote her back all the information also within minutes. A few weeks went by and I hadn't heard anything so I called and left a few voicemails and had to send another email asking why nobody has returned my calls or 3 emails and finally received a response that they were busy due to sxsw on March 22nd. I was nice and understood and waited another 3 weeks to email them and ask if they had time to talk which was also ignored. It's now been 7 days since my last email, of course nothing. I understand they might be busy but this is just ridiculous. Nobody is that busy to not return a simple email. Don't recommend this company at all.

As owner of a classic limousine company (Austin Classic Limo) catering primarily to wedding…read morecelebrations, I have had several occasions to participate in weddings that were coordinated by Brass Tacks Events. Most of the weddings I participate in DO have a formal arrangement with a wedding/consultant company. Believe me, I've seen every level of professionalism (and/or lack of it). I have to say, these guys are GOOD! Written schedules are communicated to each provider for the wedding, well in advance, and EVERY tiny little detail is covered to the nth degree, with the entire event scheduled right down to the minute. From my observation, if I wanted everything to be perfect and anxiety-free at my celebration, my first choice would be Brass Tacks Events.

I attended an event that Brass Tacks Events was the planner…read more Everything was fantastic!! His personal touches for the client (my best friend) are really what made him stand out. Extremely easy to work with. I wouldn't even call him a planner I would call him a producer. Anyone can just fit the puzzle pieces together and hope it works, Kevin's not like that. Kevin has developed relationships with the vendors that he has brought in, which does two things: Kevin can negotiate a lower price then the client, because Kevin uses them all the time. And the vendor knows that they have to be on top of their game or else they will lose Kevin's business. I am sure Kevin and his team had other events to plan, while they were planning my friends event. But you would've never known that based on the fact that Kevin always answer the phone, showed up to meetings, and always gave us the attention that we were desperately needing

It was so nice to enjoy the festivities and not worry about anyone getting overserved -- or about cleaning up and taking out the trash. We had about 100 guests, and the bar was efficiently run by the two friendly pros Ninja Mo sent -- and he was faster with his response than any other bar companies I contacted. Win for us, win for our guests! Thanks Bar Ninjas! We would definitely invite you back anytime!

the highest compliment to give ms. momant and her team is that friends and family at our wedding…read morewere telling ME what a great job she was doing during the whole thing!! she was hustling and bustling and YET remained calm, collected, and totally a dream to work with. we couldn't have been more lucky to find such a positive force of nature for our wedding coordinator. my new husband and i couldn't have done it without her, and it made the logistical behemoth that IS a wedding exactly what it should be - stress-free, fun, relaxed, on budget, and organized to within an inch of its life :) jette was quick to respond to any email or phone call, happy to answer the most inane questions (hey! I've never been married before - how many salad forks do you REALLY need?), and play mediator between the myriad of vendors it takes to have a great celebration. we were ecstatic to get to work with her, and can't recommend her firm highly enough for all those prospective bridal clients out there!! i'm happy to call her a friend now - and wish her nothing but the best!!

DNA Events (and Kathryn and Alanna) were fantastic to work with - especially across two years of…read moredelays. We loved the idea of getting to share some of our favorite local food (Terry Black's BBQ) with our guests, which made DNA a great choice for us. They handled all the coordination with Terry Black's, and then we also used the sister company Dagar's to cater the non-BBQ portions of the meal (salads, breads, non-alcoholic drinks, etc.) DNA also picked up and carved the brisket on the day-of. The service was excellent - Alanna took such great care of my husband and I, and we heard nothing but compliments from our guests on the food (both the brisket and the excellent salads from Dagar's) and the professionalism of the servers. On the logistics side, Terry Black's did end up being harder to work with than expected, so I also want to give credit to DNA for sticking with it. While the BBQ was excellent and we had personal reasons for using them, they changed their prices multiple times, had requirements that added complexity, and internal turnover almost derailed an agreement DNA had already negotiated. Thanks to the DNA team for their perseverance there!

I got an estimate back from the catering company we desperately wanted to cater our wedding and it…read morewas quite a bit higher than our budget, so we decided to look at staffing companies to possibly save costs but still have the food we wanted. I reached out to DNA events and got ahold of Kathryn. We corresponded via e-mail and phone to get estimates about staffing costs which were very reasonable and would take us significantly closer to our budget. I circled back with the catering company to let them know we would need drop off only and they replied they would not allow for an outside staffing company for weddings. I let Kathryn know what they said and she actually reached out to the company via e-mail since she had connections with there to try to allow DNA to serve their food. The company still wouldn't allow an outside company to serve but they worked with us on pricing and we got everything we wanted within our budget. She made us super happy with just putting in that extra effort to get the ball rolling on a solution for trimming costs and I will definitely be recommending everyone to use DNA events for staffing needs in the future. By the way, this all happened in a day. She is great with corresponding and keeping me in the know with the next possible step. Thanks for you time and advice! :)

Y'ALL - I simply don't have enough great things to say about Miles with Texas Pro DJ. He is without…read morea doubt the BEST DJ in Austin!!! Miles took the time to listen to my husband and I's preferences for our big day and made sure that every single song on the playlist hit the nail on the head! He had everyone dancing and singing their hearts out, to the point that everyone was genuinely bummed when the dance party was finally over! Things we heard from our guests included "best DJ ever", "your DJ brought the JAMS" and "OMG I didn't want the dance party to end". Put simply, Miles helped us end our perfect wedding day on the biggest high note, and we would recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible time. Thank you, Miles, for making all of our wedding DJ dreams come true!!!
