Even when she was handed a few curve balls she always maintained a great attitude! She provided my husband and I with all the answers to our questions and worked through every issue we might have.

We used Jaime's full planning services in addition to the day of coordination that was included in our package from Vista West Ranch. From the moment we met her, the search was over. She isn't just doing this to make a buck, she genuinely cares for the people she's working with, takes the time to get to know them, and works relentlessly to make your day perfect (and ours sure was). She felt like family to us. It's not just her kindness and attentiveness, but it's the fact that she's a local who knows this market, these people, and who to call. We worried about absolutely zero through the planning process because we knew that Jaime would be able to solve any issue that was to come up. She lets you make all of your own decisions, and only guides you when you're unsure. There is no one with the experience and knowledge she has, and no one who cares like she does; and you, and everyone at your wedding will see and feel this. She has definitely become a friend, and we're going to miss the wedding planning because it means we aren't going to get to see her as much. How many people say they're going to miss their wedding PLANNING? Do yourself a favor, and book Jaime.

I can't speak highly enough of Melanie at Something to Celebrate. We had an extremely poor…read moreexperience with another Wedding Planner in Austin and began working with Melanie in the midst of postponing our wedding because of COVID. Our wedding should've been completely planned when Melanie took over but little did we know that there were some major issues with our big day. I can honestly say that without Melanie, I don't know what our big day would've looked like... she literally saved our wedding!! She is attentive, detail oriented, more organized than I ever thought possible, funny and just an absolute joy to work with. I wish we would've gone with Melanie and Something To Celebrate from day 1 because it would've saved us so much stress and worry!! I'm beyond thankful for Melanie and consider her a friend after all of this. My husband and I would recommend her a million times to anyone looking for someone to help make their big day the best day ever!!

We hired Melanie Richardson to coordinate my daughter's December wedding in Dripping Springs and it…read morewas the absolute best decision we made! Not only was Melanie professional and organized, but her laid-back personality and sense of humor made her a joy to work with. She was very easy to communicate with, and was always prompt in responding to our many emails and phone calls. She listened to us and created exactly what we wanted, but because of her years of experience, she was able to give us many ideas on how to make the event flow smoothly. We are not from the Dripping Springs/Austin area, so we hired most of our vendors based on her recommendations. Every vendor we went with provided excellent service and we were extremely pleased. Her attention to detail is amazing, and because of this I was able to relax and enjoy the day of the wedding. When the groom's cake was delivered and it did not look exactly as ordered, Melanie was very calm and professional and quickly thought of a quick solution. None of the guests realized there had ever been a problem with it. Melanie proved her organizational skills the week of the wedding when we had to make the decision to move the ceremony indoors due to inclement weather. She spent countless hours on the phone with the florist and caterer to discuss these last-minute changes to ensure that everything was perfect. On the day of the wedding - everything looked gorgeous and the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were just as we had envisioned them. Not only did the majority of our guests comment that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended, but also stated it was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding. Everyone had a fantastic time! Thank you so much to Melanie and to Something to Celebrate for making my daughters and son-in-law's wedding absolutely perfect! I have two younger daughters, and will not hesitate to hire Melanie to coordinate both of their future weddings!

I am a self-professed DIY Wedding bride. I certainly scoffed at the idea of spending money we…read moredidn't have to get a coordinator. But after reading some suggestions that if you don't get a coordinator at least designate a family person, friend, relative, dog to be the wedding manager.... I had second thoughts. Thankfully, that's where Mandy came in. Modern Whimsy is amazing. There are not words sufficient enough to describe how incredible Mandy and her team were. From the very beginning Mandy was attentive and helpful far beyond what I expected from a coordinator, let alone one that we were getting at a discount for a prize we won and for just day of coordination. She went FAR above and beyond what I think any one person would do and she was instantly a friend in the end. The details she stayed on top of were just incredible and perfect. Letting go of the reins for this OCD person was difficult, but I couldn't have asked for someone better to trust with my vision and allow to orchestrate the wedding of my dreams. If you're getting married and don't want to have to worry, stress, or cry on your wedding day, hire Modern Whimsy. The best investment we've ever made was for that peace of mind on our wedding day. Honestly.

We just finished having our wedding in Austin and worked closely with Mandy on day of wedding…read morecoordination. From the first moment we got on the phone, we knew she would be great. First off, Mandy's experience means she thinks of all the small details you might forget. In the weeks leading up to our event, she came to us with small questions that had a big impact. She also did all the background work to organize details like flower delivery, scheduling conflicts and floor plans for the caterer. She was also able to help with a few etiquette questions that we had - always a plus. For the rehearsal, that attention to detail had her even pointing out small details like moving a microphone so people could see us kiss. She came to the hotel to drop off and pick things up in advance. She made herself available during the process via email, phone and text - all the ways we like to communicate! During the entire process Mandy was upbeat, helpful and made us feel like our event was as special to her as it was to us. Fees were also right in line with what I expected - excellent value for money. Now, we just need to find another event that she can help us to plan! Would love to work with her again.

She has a vast knowledge and experience, from permits needed to passport information to confidential licenses. She went out of her way to explain the why's and how's. I felt completely at ease that the information she provided was accurate, and to benefit our ceremony went as smoothly as it could...and it did! She kept in touch about once a month and asked information to avoid problems and last minute/costly mistakes with paperwork. Gave us valuable information about traffic times and such towards the location we chose and honestly, did an INCREDIBLE job in the ceremony. My parents and guests were VERY impressed by her and all had wonderful things to say. We were SO LUCKY to have found her services; I wouldn't change a THING about our ceremony! So lovely I would book her again in a heartbeat, and YES I have recommended her to friends and friends of friends already.

She had the whole audience captivated and in tears (the good kind) throughout our entire ceremony. We were so grateful to have the personal touches she added to the ceremony. We have had so many compliments about her and continue to do so even months after the wedding date. Lorelei is incredible at what she does.
