We had a southern theme going on and Nicole designed a whole menu of southern style drinks that were enormously popular among the guests. The set up worked perfectly. We paid Nicole for her work, but bought the alcohol and other beverages on our own. This ended up being the least expensive option for us. We can't wait to use Cocktails with a Twizt again.

Our wedding was one we'll never forget in the Hill Country on an October evening, filled with our…read morefamily and friends dancing the night away. Almost everything went right. As the groom, during cocktail hour, I noticed that the owners of our venue were serving the guests drinks, along with the boyfriend of the wedding planner. They were getting slammed by dozens of our guests wanting libations to get the party started. Our wedding planner informed me that our bartending vendors, Bar Divas of Austin, had yet to arrive, and that they informed her they would be on the way. They eventually showed up - almost five hours late! Thank God those people listed above went above and beyond to keep the boat afloat. With three or so hours of the night remaining, they continued to drop the figurative ball, from serving our guests hard liquor (we requested mixed drinks only), being rude to one of the bridesmaids who asked what she was getting served, and over pouring cocktails which led to us running out of tequila well before the night was through. This was one of the few vendors, based on the high reviews, that we thought was gonna be a no-brainer. It turned out to be the worst decision for us, but luckily the damage was mitigated. We strongly recommend you reconsider this vendor for your big day. As of today, a week from our wedding, they have yet to reach out to us to make it right.... (UPDATE: The venue owners had tried reaching out and stating our case as to why we should at least be refunded, but the owner refuses, saying he had to get "back-up emergency bartenders, costing him 4 times the amount." un. real. Especially considering they were both at least five hours late. Suffice to say, Bar Divas of Austin is officially blacklisted from the venue, and we will make it our mission on every review site to let couples know that if you choose this vendor, you're at a significant risk of being screwed over)

The bartender that was at the party told me she was only scheduled to be there until midnight (even though we paid in full) but since it's the holidays she was willing to stay until 2 am. I didn't receive any contact from the company after the event, nor were there any apologies/compensation given. The bartender that showed up first gave good service but I would not recommend this company.

I have planned large events before and Roadhaus made it easy, while also enabling us to add our personal touch with a specific drink menu and a customized cocktail for the party. Every interaction we had with Roadhaus staff (and those supporting them from The Roosevelt Room) was exceptional, and their care for their craft is evident in everything they've created and deployed. The cocktails were excellent, and the mobile bar well-stocked, leading several of our guests to rave about the experience and further cementing in my mind that Justin Lavenue, Dennis and their crew are simply among the best in the world at what they do. Five stars are too few for an experience like this.

Dennis and the entire crew that day brought Roosevelt Room's quality, class, and friendly hospitality beyond downtown, adding that something extra to our night. Thanks y'all, it was extraordinary to experience this endeavor firsthand.

Unfortunately I waited almost 3 years before I write this review, but I find today is a good day to…read moredo it as I was cleaning out my inbox. In November 2013 I contacted Liv via email as I was planning to celebrate my kiddos' birthday slash housewarming in February 2014. I gave her my phone number in the email just in case she want to call me back instead of replying to an email. I was pleasantly surprised (and impressed) that she replied me practically 10 minutes later. Finally I thought I found someone who didn't take days or weeks to reply. In her reply she said she can work with me on pricing and she would provide a custom proposal. She asked what would be the best time to talk to me over the phone. We decided that she will call later that very same day. In this email she cc her co-worker Katie Krause. The next morning I realized that I never received that phone call. I'm not a selfish person, things happened especially in the event planning business. I emailed one more time, to her and Katie and told her that I can contact her instead and she could let me know the best time to do so as I'm pretty flexible. But I guess that was the end of it. I never heard back from her or this Katie that always being cc-ed on. I'm not a difficult person and I'm the kind of person who is willing to splurge especially for my kids. But to disappeared on me, is simply disrespectful and lack of people skill. If you think my 'party' was not worth your time or too cheap for you in comparison to what you could have earned if it was a wedding, you could have said so from the beginning instead of being a flake. By the way my kids ended up having the best full service party with a different event planner while me and the other grown up guests enjoy the housewarming party in the other side of the house. In all, I wouldn't recommend her service especially for something as big as a wedding. It will add unnecessary stress that you don't need. My party was small-ish (we ended up having 60 ppl in my house as opposed to 20-25 that I told her), could be the reason why she couldn't care less. Do your research. There are many event planners that will gladly take your money and give a great customer service at the same time. Good luck.

Every time I had a new idea or crazy suggestion she made it happen bigger and better than I anticipated and somehow stayed within my price point. She creates fairytales. Liv By Design just designed my dream wedding and combined all of our random ideas into one amazingly cohesive cool party. Liv is constantly looking for ways to make the event incredible; it is just her nature. The team was continually looking for new ideas for our specific black and white theme everywhere they went. I would get picture texts of new ideas from restaurants and fashion shows that we could adapt to our coming wedding. That is what makes her exceptional. She doesn't just answer your questions and give you a price. She ceaselessly searches for ways to go above and beyond the original suggestions. Her team's execution of our wedding was completely flawless. You will not be disappointed with this group. Not to mention, it's really fun to work with them. They are great company to keep. They are all easygoing and understanding individuals who are all very enthusiastic about making their events the best in the business while keeping everything exclusively tailored to your ideas and desires. I cannot thank them enough for the job they did planning my wedding. My husband and I will use them for any company party and event we have in the future and cannot wait to work with them again. They definitely bring the wow-factor.

We chose Memory Lane for our wedding venue and could NOT have been more satisfied with the services they provided from start to finish. From our initial visit, we were blown away by how gorgeous the venue was in comparison to everywhere else we had looked at. Not to mention - the property is HUGE! We knew right from the start that this was the venue we wanted for our wedding. It was a perfect mix of everything - beautiful outdoor ceremony site, gorgeous bridal/groom suite, beautiful scenery all around that would be perfect for photos, extremely spacious indoor area that would be perfect for all of our guests to relax in A/C for our summertime wedding, and a beautifully rustic reception hall that provided the chill, casual vibe we were going for. When we first met with Memory Lane, the very first thing we noticed was all of the awards and plaques that were displayed in their office. After working with them for so many months, we completely understand how they had obtained so many awards. They were an absolute dream to work with and walked us through every step of the process. Uleta is absolutely FANTASTIC and kept us updated every step of the way. We had no idea what we wanted when we initially started planning, but with the help of Memory Lane, we were able to find inspiration and they took our vision and turned it into a reality. They showed us countless photos and were so patient with our indecisiveness until we were finally able to envision exactly what we wanted. They addressed any hesitation we had and kept in constant communication with us throughout. We don't even live in the Austin/Hill Country area, but they made it so easy to work with them. Uleta assured me that whatever I wanted for my wedding, they were going to make happen. They kept in contact with our vendors for us to make sure everything was going to be perfect for our wedding. I felt like I didn't even need to lift a finger these past few months!! The day of the wedding, I could not be more happy with how everything turned out. They made sure that the focus would be on the bride and groom the entire day, and indeed it was. We received countless compliments the entire night from our guests on how well everything was planned and how beautifully it was coordinated. We have the team at Memory Lane to thank for that, as I am sure our wedding would not have even been half as beautiful as it was if we had planned everything ourselves. These people win awards year after year for good reason - because they know what they're doing and they are damn good at their job. Thank you again so much to the team at Memory Lane (Thalia, Rachel, Gaby, and Uleta) for being such a dream to work with.

When you're planning a wedding, it adds stress to have trouble communicating with the venue. Another thing was when we toured, we were given a catering booklet.
