From large high-end casino nights, big receptions, client dinners, to even pub crawls and summer associate events, Kacey Ray and her team are invaluable partners in the planning, coordinating with all the venues and vendors, and day-of execution to make our events stress free. We love the creativity in their planning and suggestions, especially when we have just a rough vision of what we want the event to be. They are good about ensuring the caliber of the event (and every small detail) matches the reputation and stature of our firm and makes a good impression on our clients, employees, and guests. Professional, responsive, and exceptionally organized. Cannot recommend them enough.

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.

Amanda and her team were absolutely outstanding! From our initial consultation up and through the…read morewedding (and after), Amanda was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and provided the best service a bride could ask for. I was completely lost about how to plan a wedding until Amanda came along. She answered all of my questions and guided us through the process with such ease. Everything went perfectly and I know it's because of Amanda and her team. On a separate note, I have a large, blended family and Amanda was able to deal with everyone and coordinate all parties without hesitation. If you're looking for a wedding planning, look no further. Embrace the Day is the best around!

My husband and I hired Donnie to be the decorator for our wedding, and due to all of the problems…read morewith him and the eventual failure on his part to provide services, my husband documented everything, a portion of which, I have provided below. Donnie Brown, the man who was on WFAA Channel 8 News for creating a 2 million dollar wedding dress and currently has a full page ad in the most recent edition of Modern Luxury Weddings Dallas, has officially committed fraud with respect to our wedding. Our wedding was on Saturday, October 19th. Donnie did not provide nearly $10,000 worth of services, and the day after our wedding he had the nerve to charge our account almost $500 without our authorization. Meaning that he kept our payment information on file without our knowledge or authorization. His assistant at the time, Heather Bradford, took our payment information and did not properly secure our financial information allowing him to have free access to our account at any time. I texted and called her multiple times to give her a chance to tell her story. She will not respond. We are already refuting this and will be taking legal action against both of them, but please read on for the whole story. I documented each red flag as they occurred in order to keep an accurate timeline. Also, for the accusations provided below we either have hard proof in emails, text, phone logs and pictures or we have a witness to the event. I thought Donnie was difficult to deal with but would still deliver on his contractual obligations, not break his contract and steal money out of our account. If you want someone who is trustworthy and transparent, Donnie Brown is NOT who you want to deal with. Donnie will make you feel as if he is adding tremendous value when in reality he is really a con man. On several occasions he has lied to us but we had paid soooo much money already that I politely continued to deal with him to make sure that our wedding would still come together as envisioned. One of the hardest things to do is to continue to deal with someone who is swindling you out of money and you know it especially for such an important day- at the end of the day making my future wife happy was my top priority. After our reception and when we got home, I letHeather and Donnie know that we will be taking legal action for services not rendered. If it wasn't for our venue coordinator (TJ Land with the Room on Main), our wedding planner (Carol Hampton with The Date) and our florist (Michele Rochon), who all pulled together and each did work that was well beyond what we had compensated them for, to make up for Donnie's failures and ensure that our day was still incredible, it would've been a disaster. Also, because Donnie screwed up sooo badly, he is banned from doing any business in any of the venues associated with our venue. The day after our wedding he charged an additional $478 to our account without our authorization. Now he has committed fraud. We obviously have the reception well documented and the actual contract, so it is easy to see what contractual obligations he did not fulfill. We are already refuting our payments. If you have ever thought about doing business with Donnie Brown, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. And if you are already working with him, request an itemization of your bill. This is a man that has zero ethics, zero professionalism and is willing to even steal money from his clients.

Brides beware hired…read moretheir service over a year before my wedding date, gave them a specific vision and a strict budget, was told it would not be a problem, that everything could be done and well within my budget. Let's just say, 5 weeks before my wedding handed, they handed me a bill for almost 3 times my budget, but had been asking for my budget for my food and Decor for 5 plus months prior to this, my mom finally had to call the club and get pricing since Donnie, and his team would not. Nightmare from beginning to end, chose a venue in September based on .......we were told the grounds was going to be leveled so we could have the outdoor wedding we wanted. Wedding planners went MIA over November through Jan, then we finally did have our meeting in mid FEB, 2 and half months before me wedding date, was told at this meeting, that the flowers designer had quit ( the most important thing to me and was stated from beginning) and that the club , which was suppose to start construction in October and be finished in Jan, was not going to level the ground and never started construction. Donnie came to this meeting with no other solutions to the problem, and I was told that it is what it is......mind you, still no budget given to us even though we had already met with the club on all wedding details in October. It continues.....wanted cake balls in the shape of a wedding cake, like a tower of cake balls. Donnie's team recommended a cake vendor, I asked Donnie's team before my appt, if they were sure this vendor did the cake ball tower I wanted, was told yes, they do everything. Well....Got to the cake tasting and guess what, he didn't do cake ball cakes, and the vendor actually ended up helping us, he called around to find a vendor that met my needs. Never got to do a cake tasting because of this mix up. I have numerous unanswered emails that had to be followed up by texts or phone calls. I had to ask a million questions as the monthly itinerary that was given to me, was not be followed by Donnie's team. The communication was minimal and the information was false. Donnie and his team are not professional and brides, you will work harder than if you didn't hire a wedding planner. I don't usually write reviews but Donnie and his team were so awful and almost destroyed my wedding, I don't wish this experience for any bride and groom......it is really hard to describe the numerous let downs Donnie and his team made my family and I go through. I was not a bridezilla, just had a vision and a budget and was told everything could happen, not one of those things did happen.....the tears, the worry, the stress, and the heartbreak were too much....and the fact that they handed me a bill that was going to be almost 3 times by budget was to much to bear. Please beware, truly a nightmare.

#TheMooreTheMerrior Wedding!!! My sister (Nicki) was the…read morebride and she kept in constant communication with Charmecia and 323 Occasions throughout the time leading up to the big day. My sister is a particular individual and she likes to be very involved in the decision making process of things, especially for her own wedding. Charmecia was excellent at accommodating with my sister's personality and preferences. Her ability to be either heavy hands-off or heavy hands-on shows a lot about her professionalism and versatility with her clients. She gives you exactly what you ask for! Charmecia and 323 Occasions were easy to contact and replied in a timely manner in order to ensure that my sister and her wedding party were staying on schedule. They hit the ground running the day of the wedding. It was a relief for me, in particular, to have them there so that I could get ready to walk down the aisle with my sister and not have to worry about the small details that needed to be done. When they arrived at the wedding site some of my close family members were already there ready to lend a helping hand. Charmecia and 323 Occasions merged smoothly with their different personality types and made all of them feel needed and wanted as they worked together to set up last minute technicalities for the wedding. Charmecia was an absolute delight! She is easy to get a long with and brings a sense of joy and peace to the atmosphere!! Charmecia and 323 Occasions went above and beyond for my sister and her husband on their wedding day. They even made these cards as a game to pass out to the guests. The guests could fill out on the card how much they knew about Nicki and Micah (i.e. their birthdays, favorite foods, siblings, etc.) and whoever guessed the most right- won! It gave our guests a little something extra to do! I highly recommend 323 Occasions for ANY event that you do. They came with extra decorations that matched with my sister's color scheme and were flexible to be wherever they needed to be the day of. Unprompted, Charmecia, being a married woman, shared with Nicki and Micah some marital advice that was helpful and encouraging. The 323 team had notable customer service. The only reason I rated them a 4 and not a 5 was because she probably should have had more people on her team to help her the day of. Charmecia and her team were not afraid to respectfully take charge when disarray started to arise. They made sure that there was order. They got in there, got things done, and they did it with passionate hearts and a smile on their face! I truly believe that #TheMooreTheMerrior wedding was a success because of 323 Occasions. We are so thankful for their business!!!

I hired Shay K Events to coordinate my February 2024 wedding. Below is a transparent review of my…read moreexperience. Pros: Responsive. Personable Initially, I felt comfortable hiring Shay K Events for wedding coordination services. However, as the wedding date approached, I started questioning her role because I was doing all the work. We had a rehearsal dinner two days before the wedding, that I had to plan because Shay didn't. She rushed us throughout the entire thing. Cons: Disorganized Lacks attention to detail Inexperienced The reception was a mess; it was Shay's fault as the wedding coordinator. Shay K Events did not coordinate the event effectively. To give you an idea, Shay told the caterer's two servers not to serve, which resulted in the reception dinner becoming a self-serve buffet. I did not want this, as I had paid for servers to serve the guests. We ran out of food because some people took more than one type of protein. They were supposed to choose between chicken, fish, or pasta, not all three. Unfortunately, Shay hasn't taken responsibility for this mistake, even though it was entirely her fault. Since the servers did not work, the caterer refunded the $250 serving fee. Thankfully, they were cooperative. During the wedding, Shay caused chaos when cutting and serving the cake. Initially, she began cutting the cake and placing a few pieces on the table for guests to take. However, Shay's cutting skills were poor, resulting in unappealing and messy slices. To make matters worse, she abandoned the task, leaving guests to serve themselves. As a result, the dessert table looked disorganized and unsightly. Shay spent the reception eating and conversing with people. A family member spotted Shay eating a cookie from the dessert table before dinner was served, which was unacceptable. "What did she do right during the reception?" you ask. She checked on me and my now-husband several times to ensure everything was going well. We were fine, but unfortunately, she didn't have the same level of attention for the 50 guests who were left fending for themselves in the chaos. Just to clarify, I want to make it clear that I was not a bridezilla, and the wedding was semi-formal and not too demanding. After the wedding, I received messages from multiple family members expressing their disappointment with Shay. Hearing similar feedback from various people confirmed that it was not just me. Shay told me she hired an assistant at no charge to me to assist her with the wedding/reception. Shay needed an assistant to help her create chaos. I am trying to figure out what the assistant (who happens to be her sister) was doing besides eating. I am incredibly disappointed with Shay K Events and cannot express it enough. I have contacted Shay twice to discuss my dissatisfaction, but she insists she fulfilled her responsibilities per the agreement. Although my wedding was a joyful event, based on my experience and feedback from my guests, I do not recommend Shay K Events.

She did a great job. She had printed out schedules for everyone and directed the show when she needed to and stayed out of the spotlight at other times. She brought my sister's vision to life. I write Ruth this review for 2 reasons. A) She was also involved in my older sister's wedding 10 yrs ago, so I feel as if my family has a lot of experience with her B) I was married 1.5yrs ago (in another state), so from that experience could see areas my own wedding planner was lacking, and could notice how much better Ruth was.
