Julie and her professional staff did an amazing job planning, setting up, and decorating for my husband's retirement party. The venue was decorated beautifully and in the grandest fashion, with staff paying attention to every last detail. Thank you Julie! You are a wonderful, caring person and such a great hostess! We will always treasure this wonderful memory. Best event planner in Lubbock!!! L. French read more

They did an amazing job and were polite, friendly, professional, and very patient with any situation. Julie put together a book of recommended vendors for cakes, catering, wedding dress shops, entertainment, venues, and anything else you would need for a wedding. Everyone we used from her recommended vendors was excellent in every way. The bouquets, corsages, boutonnières, and flower arrangements were stunningly beautiful and they received many oohs aahhs and compliments. The crew worked their tails off at the reception to make everything just right. If you want a beautiful wedding and reception, I highly recommend Eventfully Yours! read more

I attended a retirement party in Lubbock which was coordinated by Julie Hodges and the "Eventfully Yours" crew members on 10/28/2025. It was absolutely 1st Class!!! The venue, the food, the ambience, the service, every detail was accounted for which made the experience memorable. I have never been to a retirement party like this one before. I don't know how much the event planning costs; but it was worth it at any price. If you have a party or any event coming up, I highly recommend you talk to Julie Hodges at Eventfully Yours! You won't regret it. read more

Do not hire!! Worst experience ever working with Julie. She is extremely unprofessional, lies, does not take responsibility, does not stick to budget, has terrible communication, and talks about you and your family to vendors after your wedding! She tells you they plan your wedding, but you have to do it ALL. They do not care about the bride and groom; they only care about money in their pocket and social media. read more

Id give 0 stars if I could. Julie is terrible at communicating, leaves her brides to book everything themselves and lies about bids being sent out. She even lied about an employee sending a bid out to a bride. When the bride reached out to said employee about the bid she supposedly sent the bride, the employee stated she did not email the bride a bid and she definitely didn't do it two weeks prior as Julie had stated, as the employee had resigned from the company over a month prior to this conversation between Julie and the Bride, but Julie still insisted she was standing next to the employee when she sent the bid "2 weeks ago" just lying for no reason! All of this happened after the bride ordered a $2000 fake flower arch and Julie responded "Oh we could have done a real flower one for about $700!" Hence the bride saying "I asked for a flower bid and never got one" which led to Julie's lie about the resigned employee. 0 accountability, 0 professionalism. Julie also seems to get sick a lot and when she does, she decides to pass her phone to "her husband" to respond to clients for her, wow. If she is so sick so often that she can't even type a text and communicate with her clients, maybe she should STOP TAKING CLIENTS. Life is hard, none of us want to slow down, but it appears Julie is at that age and unable to perform her duties adequately. This would be fine if Julie was a grocery store greeter, not managing the most EXPENSIVE, most IMPORTANT days of many couples lives. Don't even get me started on her sh*t talking her clients and their families to other vendors and being rude to brides and their mothers. If someone is paying you to do a service and they have complaints about the level of service you're providing (after claiming you will provide a much higher level), you don't get to yell at them for your short comings. It is your job to satisfy a contract, you don't get to charge all this money, not do what you say you will, yell at clients, and then blame everyone else because you couldn't satisfy your customers or the contracts you make with them. And stop blocking people who leave reviews on Facebook, its pointless. We can still see them. ​ read more

This is the factual observation based on my experience as Mother of the Bride. 1. Poor Communication: Emails and messages often went unanswered. Most responses received only included what I wanted to hear. 2. Lack of Organization: The timeline was not followed, leading to confusion. The ushers were never directed to usher guests down the aisle. Guests were moved to the reception 30 minutes early, resulting in cocktail food going to waste. 3. Overcharging: The final bill was significantly higher than the discussed budget. When my daughter, the Bride, discussed the overcharge, she was referred to as "mean". 4. Unprofessional Behavior: One week before the wedding, Julie Hodges, went on vacation and set her status to "Do Not Disturb" communicated via Facebook post. No direct notifications were given. 5. Dishonesty About Vendor Communication: Julie claimed to be in constant communication with vendors. However, several vendors, including the venue, reported they had not been in contact with Julie for weeks. read more

I got married on Saturday, April 6th. I have had eventfully yours as my planner since September 2023. It has been a DISASTER to say the least. To start, I had already had a lot done. I had my venue, caterer, photographer, and website done. When I first spoke with Julie, I told her I wanted to keep the wedding as cheap as possible. I wasn't looking to spend an arm and a leg on the wedding. I told her we were laid back and just didn't have the time to handle it on our own between our work schedules. Communication lacked from the beginning. Even when I talked with Julie about that, she turned it around on me stating it was my job to handle this that and the other. And when I say communication, I mean with me, and my vendors. There would be times when I wouldn't get a response to a text or anything for a month. I had to coordinate everything with my vendors on my own, which is one of the main reasons they were hired. The contract was so vague it looked like it was written by a 3 year old. That should've been my first clue. She had told me since I had stuff done already, my deposit would be 1200. Then a month later, she asked for another 800 for the deposit stating that she never said 1200 and that we needed to pay her more. I had started w 2 bridesmaids and a flower girl, and told her we would no longer have 1 of the bridesmaids and the flower girl, and 4 months later she was still trying to charge me for the flowers for the flower girl and bridesmaid. She was trying to charge me for bouquets for mothers and grandmothers. And boutonnières for fathers and grandfathers, which I had never heard of before. They tried to charge an insane amount for chargers, so I declined and said I would order nicer plates for the wedding. Then on the day of the wedding she did not use my plates that I spent 450 on and said it's because she has never worked with my caterer before, I didn't realize telling them to use my plates was rocket science because they hadn't used my caterer before. And instead, my guests were served with styrofoam plates. On the day of the wedding, they didn't start decorating until 2 1/2 hours before my wedding when we had the venue for 2 days. I had to ask them when they would be there to start decorating before it got done. They refused to sweep the floors, causing one of my guests to sweep because the floors were nasty. The decor was pretty but also not worth the amount I paid them to make the venue look stunning. The planner took my bouquet and ran off with it causing my mom and my photographer to chase her around to get it back and the planner was MIA for about an hour during the wedding as well. She had to be escorted out of the bridal suite multiple times because I was having an anxiety attack and would not leave me alone, zero emotional intelligence. I paid them about triple what I was trying to spend on the wedding in the first place. I will give credit where it is due, the florals were beautiful! There is so much more, that I could write a 10 page essay on how horrible they were. Moral of the story, do not use them!!! read more

I had a great experience with Julie, Brittany, and other team members with eventfully yours. My wedding was September 4, 2021. We had multiple people flying in and a guest list of about 175. Julie was very easy to get in contact with and she responded very quickly and always with patience and kindness. I booked Julie in March of 2020 and she was always available to answer any questions I had over the last 19 months. The entire wedding weekend went extremely smoothly and fantastic guidance was provided by Julie and Brittany. The actual wedding day felt exciting but was very calm and ran smoothly. I honestly cannot think of how it could have run any better. I did not feel stressed or pressed for time at all. Any questions or concerns I had Julie and her team were already ten steps ahead and had it taken care of. The decorations were beautifully done. All of my guest could not stop gushing about the decor and how great the evening had went. I have received many "this is the best wedding I have been to" comments that day and over the last few days. Lastly, Julie and her team essentially cleaned and picked up EVERYTHING. Which meant that my guests, family, myself and my husband got to leave without lifting a finger. I went to a wedding the weekend after my own, and they did not have this luxury. It took the bride and groom, all of the family, bridal party, and some guest an HOUR to clean up which totally killed that post wedding high. Trust me, you want the services that Julie and her team at eventfully yours has to offer. read more
