I absolutely LOVED working with Sava Sipe for my wedding day. She was amazing from day one, was…read moreable to meet with me all the time even last minute to help me calm my nerves about the wedding! Sava was friendly to my family and minister during rehearsal and also recommended some amazing vendors (limo service, dance studio, hair and makeup etc.) Everything was planned well and put together and my guests were so impressed that the day was so well planned out and put together, and there was not a dull moment. Without Sava I would have been a total mess, and she helped me feel beautiful that day! (She even had a cough drop ready for me when my throat was getting dry from this Texas weather!!) Love you to the moon and back, Sava!!

Words cannot express how amazing it was to have Stephanie as our planner. We opted for the Day…read moreManagement Package but it was so much more than that. From the very beginning, she was so helpful and responsive. I had all my vendors picked but she was available to help me gel the ideas and design together to make it all a cohesive look. She fully handled scheduling the day and was there from set up to putting us in a car at the end of the night! Do yourself a favor and hire her ASAP!

Our wedding goals were drama-free and stress-free. We interviewed several wedding planners with…read morethis in mind and Stephanie was the ONLY one that gave us peace of mind due to both her demeanor and experience! She helped us plan a 3-day event, focusing on the wedding and reception itself. We married in June 2023 but started planning in early 2022, so we had chosen the wedding venue and reception location. You may say, well what did Stephanie do? The answer is a whole hell of a lot, including letting us keep our sanity. We were initially just going to use the TheKnot and plan the wedding ourselves. We were quickly disabused of this notion when we sent quote requests to the top 3 vendors for photography and flowers and were quickly overwhelmed with the questions. Once we selected Stephanie and explained our "vision", she selected the top 1-2 vendors in each category, told them our vision and we just met with them for our comfort. Further, even though we had decided to pick folks for hair and make-up, our choices fell through and Stephanie was able to find awesome options. Finally, Stephanie also understood the ins and outs of the special venue (the Butterfly Garden at the Houston Museum of Natural Science) and helped us navigate what we could and could not do. Additionally, the reception location was initially not going to provide a tasting due to our small party (~40 people), but Stephanie was able to wrangle one, which gave us a sense of comfort we otherwise would not have had. She also helped us with set-up and coordination for our welcome ("rehearsal") dinner, even though this was initially not in her remit. During the wedding, she kept us on track and focused. It exceeded our goals of being drama-and-stress free and everyone had a fantastic time! If you want to enjoy your wedding and have peace of mind, Stephanie is HIGHLY recommended!

Kelly was incredible! She has every contact you could possibly need, whether you're going all-out…read moreor keeping things simple. We didn't have to lift a finger--we just got to relax, be present, and actually enjoy every minute of our daughter's wedding. With only a short window before the big day, we realized it would be so much easier on our guests if we provided transportation from the Grand Galvez to the church and back to the hotel for the reception. Kelly handled every detail with a private company and it was seamless. The next day she even took care of returning everything--the cake plate, the tux, all of it. We had a couple of guests with dietary restrictions, and she and her assistant Amanda made sure that was completely covered. If my husband or I even thought about wanting a drink while we were walking around greeting people, one of them somehow appeared with it in hand. Kelly doesn't just understand her job--she has an innate understanding of what it means to be the parents of the bride and how to make the whole experience easier on you. Both she and Amanda are friendly, steady when you're stressed, funny, and genuinely personable. They're simply the best event planners you could hope for. When my daughter's veil got left at the hotel right as the ceremony was about to start, they used their connections and somehow it magically showed up at the church with time to spare. Anything we needed to keep--family heirlooms and the rest--they carefully got back into our car or our room afterward. I can't recommend Kelly and Eventology highly enough. We had so much fun that we're seriously thinking about throwing a big party for our friends every five years just so we can do it all over again!

My fiancé and I got engaged in Jan 2019 and after venue shopping and planning, we were referred to Yvette in May 2019. At the time, we decided to not do a pop up since we ended up deciding to do a wedding on a cruise in 2020. Well obviously that fell apart thanks to the pandemic! Yvette was there to save the day! We were hoping things would get better in 2020 but COVID cases kept rising so we said screw it, let's do the pop up wedding! And we are SO happy that we did! We didn't want to do a huge party and spend thousands on a wedding but we got the upscale wedding look for so much less. Yvette and her team were offering these COVID packages (see their Instagram to see if still on going) and we had an officiant, seating for 25, cake, photographer venue and decorations all for under $2000. My family was worried that since we were spending significantly less than the average wedding cost that it wouldn't be as nice. In fact, we were criticized prior to the wedding, but then the day of the wedding arrived and they were in awe. It was so romantic and beautiful. Yvette and her team added flowers, candles and just made the night so magical. The cake was delicious and over all the experience was dreamy and magical. Pop Up Weddings Houston also go beyond the pop up wedding bookings. Yvette does weddings of all sizes! They actually do wedding give aways on their instagram so check it out if you're recently engaged! They also work with vendors/partners who provide live streaming services, photo booths and more! Anyways, major thanks to Pop Up Wedding Houston! I am totally referring my engaged friends to them! Note: Once I receive my wedding photos I'll update my review to show you all how gorgeous the venue was!

My daughter got engaged this past spring, and, although she and I have done quite a bit of…read moreentertaining and hospitality, I knew that a wedding planner was not optional, if we were going to enjoy the wedding. The engagement was 4-1/2 months long, and we invited over 400 people to the wedding, so it was not a small wedding, and obviously there was lots to do in a fairly short amount of time. Additionally, my daughter lives in Seattle, and would only be home for a couple of very brief visits, so that was also a challenge. Although I knew that we needed help with the wedding, I was not hopeful that we could find a wedding planner to whom I would be comfortable relinquishing responsibility and control, but, boy, was I wrong! We were referred to Chelsea, the owner of Everything But the Ring (EBTR), by the Carol Perrard, event coordinator at our reception venue (The Westin at Memorial City). I had told Carol that I wanted to find someone who was not only a great wedding planner, but that was not a snob and would absolutely not add drama to our event. EBTR was arguably the best and most important recommendation we got from anyone to ensure that our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be - and it was! Chelsea is amazing to work with - very professional, punctual, communicated frequently, very accessible, so pleasant, flexible, helpful, forward-thinking; she understood what our vision was, and was fabulous at implementing it. Her experience and judgment were invaluable and contributed immeasurably to the success of the wedding. Since my daughter and I are very organized, we knew there were parts of the wedding that we would like to handle ourselves. At the same time, there were also parts of the wedding that we knew we didn't want to handle at all, and then lots of items in between. Chelsea customized a wedding package for us in which she was up-to-speed on the big picture and the details, but was okay with letting us handle those things we like doing. She kept everything on track, thought of everything, no matter how tiny a detail, and was great about updating the to-do lists and reminding us of upcoming timeline deadlines. Additionally, she negotiated better rates with vendors than I was able to get myself, and reviewed all our vendor quotes and contracts with those vendors I was working with directly, and identified costs that could be reduced or seemed out of line, which information I used to go back to the vendors and get a better quote (my florist and decor company, for example). There were other vendors she dealt with without my involvement at all, except to approve their bids, and everything she arranged was top-notch and reasonably priced. I knew from my very first meeting with Chelsea that she was the right person for us, and that feeling was reconfirmed over and over, but never more than the week of the wedding itself. We had our last sit-down meeting with Chelsea and Carol at the reception venue one week before the wedding, and I was BLOWN AWAY by the details that the two of them together had figured out, and, wow, what a blessing that the two of them worked so beautifully together. They thought of the tiniest little details and logistics that made my daughter and I know that we could just enjoy the wedding week. We were in such good hands!!! Chelsea came by our house a number of times the week of the wedding, transported to the reception venue, to the church, to the rehearsal dinner, etc etc etc. I can honestly say there was not one moment the week of the wedding when I felt anxious or worried, in large part because of the decision we made to hire Chelsea at EBTR. I recommend her and her company unreservedly. Several of the guests at our wedding have contacted Chelsea regarding their own weddings. I hope you have the good fortune to have her help you make your wedding everything you've dreamt it would be.

I first had the privilege of meeting Chelsea at David Tutera's Your Wedding Experience. She was…read morewearing a beautiful black ball gown and was actively approaching people which gave me a great first impression of her. I could right away tell how passionate and hard-working she was so I definitely wanted to meet with her to see if I wanted her to be our wedding planner. Originally, we did not feel we did not need a planner but our first meeting with Chelsea sold us to her services. At our first meeting, she presented us with a folder detailing her services as well as a binder of a wedding that showed us how seriously she takes her job and how organized she is. She is the best decision we made in regards to our wedding planning. Without her, we would not have had all the amazing vendors we got. She helped us get in contact with them and handled all communication with them. We were even able to get a better rate because of her connections. It made the entire process so easy for us so that we could focus on the other things. Her advice was also invaluable. Whenever we would vacillate on something, she would explain the pros and cons but would never push us to a decision. She would always patiently let us decide because she truly was our advocate and helped us put together the wedding we wanted. Her advice was not limited on just the planning and was willing to listen to any problems we had. Especially since she has been in the same shoes, it was nice to have someone that could empathize with everything that I was going through. The big day was where she really shined. She took care of everything so that everyone could enjoy the day which was very important to us because we wanted all our friends and family to enjoy every minute of it, especially since the whole event is only so long. Everyone raved about how amazing our wedding was and anyone that had the honor of speaking to Chelsea that day informed me of how amazing she was as well. I think very highly of Chelsea and I am so happy to have had the privilege of meeting her and working with her. She has such a warm and engaging personality that will make you feel like you are just conversing with a friend instead of working. I especially appreciated her honesty with me throughout the planning because I valued her professional opinion and without it, our wedding would not have been as successful. Thank you Chelsea for making the wedding planning fun instead of stressful. You helped create the wedding we never knew we could have and we are so thankful for everything you have done for us.
