Her ideas were so helpful, her organization was amazing and her responsiveness was the best I've ever had with any contractor. Her work ethic and professionalism were incredible and her attention to detail, and running everything like clockwork allowed us to relax and enjoy the wedding day! Cannot say enough good things about Meredith and Significant Events. If you are looking for an event planner or wedding coordinator, look no further because Significant Events is the best! I HIGHLY recommend them!

We absolutely LOVED working with Jennifer. She did our engagements, my bridals, and our wedding and…read moreevery shoot was flawless. She made us feel so comfortable in the pre-shoots that by the time the wedding came, we didn't need any direction. She is punctual, responsive, and most of all so friendly and talented. She was there for every shot, and after seeing our sneak peak wedding photos, I know the whole album will be as flawless as the rest. She truly captures every moment and makes it even more beautiful, and makes you feel so at ease. David was an amazing extra on the wedding day, taking side shots and capturing extra moments. He was also amazing to work with. We will cherish her photos for years to come, and hope to use her for shoots of other life stages!

I'm so very impressed with their professional yet fun and friendly style. Besides their personalities, their work stands for itself. Both have a slightly different style, and when put together in a slideshow, it creates a multiple view and captures so much more! Jennifer stood out from the rest with her thoughtful details from beginning to end, and in how her interactions, prices, and technique, were always consistent. We couldn't be happier with our choice of her. She took care of us, listened to us, never complained, guided us, and always always was someone I could depend on. This was the BEST MONEY we spent on our wedding without a doubt! I recommend her 110%! We will always be grateful for her wonderful work. The photos of me and my husband and our families, will be treasured for always. Thank you!!!

Hiring Virtuous Endeavors was the best…read moredecision I made during my entire wedding planning process, and that's all thanks to my incredible planner, Alexandria Adams. Alex ATE on every detail when planning my wedding. From our very first conversation, I knew Alex was the perfect match for me. Working with her felt less like working with a planner and more like planning a wedding with a best friend. She was warm, intuitive, and completely in tune with my vision, even when I wasn't always sure how to articulate it. She made me feel heard, supported, and excited. What truly set Alex apart was her unwavering availability and calm presence. Whether it was a late-night text about the venue or a last-minute call to ease my nerves, she was always there. Her calm energy and confidence made me feel like everything was under control. And on the big day? Absolute perfection. I later found out that there had been issues with the tablecloths, but Alex handled everything so seamlessly that I had no idea anything went wrong. She protected my peace that day like it was her top mission, and I am forever grateful. Alex also helped me build an amazing team of vendors. From florals to catering to videography, every single recommendation was spot-on and aligned perfectly with my style and budget. I genuinely felt surrounded by professionals who cared deeply about making our day special, and that's 100% thanks to her guidance. I've already recommended Virtuous Endeavors to all my friends, and I'll continue to rave about them to anyone who'll listen. If you want someone who's organized, responsive, thoughtful, and feels like a trusted friend from day one, ask for Alex Adams. You won't just get a planner... you'll get a partner and a true wedding day planning BEAST.

On 4/3/21, my husband and I had our beautiful wedding at Stonebriar County Club.  Blake was our…read moreflorist and day of coordinator.  He kept us informed of upcoming deadlines and was always very creative and flexible with our ideas.  In the beginning, I had (too) many ideas of what I liked although I knew which flowers I wanted.  We met a couple times (Zoom) leading up to the wedding to discuss bouquets, table arrangements, and décor and each time he was timely and helpful.  I was able to show him pictures I had found and he was able to turn my inspiration into reality because he is so passionate about his job.  Also, we decided to make floral changes after the bridal portraits bouquet was made because some flowers just weren't white enough for our ginger jar theme.  Blake was very understandable and send a new vision board to us.  We decided a month or so before our wedding we'd also have Blake do the day-of coordinating; it was no problem to add that on later.  A week before the wedding, my (now) husband met with Blake to provide all of our ginger jars for the center pieces.  Unbeknownst to me, my husband was also handing over a very sentimental scarf that he had requested to be included in my bouquet.  On the day of our wedding, Blake arrived at our venue early with TJ and team to ensemble the areas of the country club.  Upon its reveal to us, everything looked exactly how we envisioned!  Blake and team checked on my husband and I throughout the night to ensure we were fed, quenched, and happy.  At the end of the night, we ended up having the BEST time with Blake after everyone had left and we were sneaking off in our get-away car.  Blake had packed up the car with my veil, hangers, gifts, sign in globe, and even a box of leftover to take back to our hotel!  We've stayed in contact with Blake after our wedding and actually attended HIS wedding as guests.  Blake is a professional and sweetheart that we are so thankful we had on our wedding day.

My husband and I eloped at their office recently. We based the decision off of the quality of the…read morewebsite, etc. We made the assumption that with their website being as pleasant as it was, and with the photos from the events they'd planned being quite aesthetically pleasing, that their office where elopements are held would also be similarly nice. Unfortunately, we were wrong to make that assumption. So this review really only pertains to their in-office elopements, as I can't speak to the rest of their services. Getting in touch with the owner, Blake, was relatively easy, at first. It was easy to pay online, and he thoughtfully sent us a questionnaire, which was simple and painless to fill out. But after this, at times it was a little difficult to get a response from him and/or the officiator he assigned us regarding our wedding vows. Nothing major, but there was a span of a few days before we received a response in our last correspondence. But it ended up fine. Most of our disappointment was with the office. It was located in a dingy, old building that smelled musty and odd. It seemed like they rent at least two rooms for their business in this building, and both doors were open when we arrived - one was the room where elopements are held, the other I assume was their normal office. We saw Blake (the owner) sitting at a desk in the normal office, but he made no effort to step out and say hello, introduce himself or welcome us, etc. He didn't even wave. We never spoke in person. He looked our way and then turned back to his computer monitor. It was not very professional or kind. Our officiator (who was fine, no complaints there) promptly noticed our arrival and walked us to the elopement room next door. And this is where it got worse. Terrible, SUPER dim, yellow fluorescent lighting. Outdated (Green, I think?) carpet. That same musty smell. The archway we stood under looked pretty half-assedly constructed. We were debating hiring a photographer to come along and help us commemorate the moment, but now we're glad that we didn't - there was no helping that setting. We now wish that we'd asked to see a picture of the office first. I'd post one here but the pictures turned out so terrible that we deleted them all already. We kept a Polaroid that disguised the setting a little bit (with Polaroids not being super hi-res and all), but that's it. The short version of this - if you care about the setting of your elopement, DON'T DO IT HERE. I'm sure they might be wonderful at conventional wedding planning, but this was a total bummer. It's a good thing that we weren't crazy invested in a conventional wedding anyway, but we want to help another nontraditional couple avoid this unpleasantly surprising situation! We did receive our marriage certificate back insanely fast (a week), so they were very prompt about sending it out for us.

You will never meet someone with as big of a heart as Ketan Uncle. He was such an invaluable part…read moreof our wedding planning team. What sets Ketan Uncle apart from many other decorators is that he, as the owner, showed up to multiple events to make sure things were handled perfectly. He made me feel like his daughter through this entire planning process. He puts so much of his heart and soul into each decor backdrop, that the entire venue looks covered in love. In addition to helping with smaller family functions at home (i.e. birthday parties, poojas, etc), Ketan Uncle did all of the decor for my wedding. He met with us often the year leading up to events to make sure each one had a unique look and was better than the last. My breath was taken away by how beautiful our first event was. What astounded me the most was that each subsequent event was even more beautiful than the previous one. No matter how avante guarde I made a theme, Ketan uncle could not disappoint. Ketan Uncle, can you make me a Bridgerton Bridal shower? "No problem beta." Ketan Uncle, my fiancé proposed to me in central park. Can you make that my Sangeet theme? "Yes of course - I already have a custom gate decorated for you." Even when I came up with a "Maharaja Speakeasy (i.e. Indian Great Gatsby) theme for my reception, everyone else looked at me like I had 10 heads. Ketan Uncle's response was "Don't worry - I can handle it. Just send me a picture or two." YES, Ketan Uncle is the glue that held my wedding week together. In addition to the decor for the main functions, we had also asked for my room to be decorated for the day of the wedding. Ketan uncle already planned a beautiful backdrop. However, he only found out at midnight (the night before my wedding), it would not be able to make it through the hotel elevators. He stayed up the entire night between my Sangeet and Wedding day to craft a new backdrop and also to make sure that my wedding day felt like a fairytale. What I really loved about Ketan Uncle was that he didn't simply agree to any request I asked for. He truly listened to my vision and came up with better suggestions to make everything pop even more. For example, I wanted my Haldi to be Mediterranean/Santorini/Greek themed with lots of White and Blue. I was sure I had to have blue flowers. Ketan uncle nicely hinted that blue flowers might look fake/tacky (even if they were high quality), because these are usually dyed. He gently suggested using whites, creams, and yellows to keep with my theme, but have a much more polished look. I give this as just one example. However, there were dozens of suggestions that Ketan Uncle brought up that were invaluable. I just wish I had the vocabulary to describe what a great job he did. The decor was simply ineffable.

Ketan uncle & his team at Divine Decor Of Dallas were amazing throughout my year long wedding…read moreplanning process. Ketan met with my planners and I multiple times to ensure my vision came to life. He was very accommodating and was willing to step out if his comfort zone to create a look that I wanted to try for my wedding and reception. He has everything you can imagine for south Asian weddings in his warehouse and if he doesn't have something, he's willing to create it for you (he's also a designer!). His niche for knowing what pieces fit together is a great gift and I'm so glad we decided to use him for our decorator and florals! Also, our parents loved him as he knew what Puja items we needed and already had a great relationship with our other vendors including my makeup and hair artist, planners and DJ. A huge thank you, Ketan, for making my dream wedding come to life and for making it even better than I envisioned it! We couldn't have done it without you! I highly recommend Ketan Mistry at Divine Decor of Dallas for your wedding decor or any other events!

Needless to say, I was stressed! After only a few minutes of speaking with Lisa, all my worries began to fade. Lisa brought the vision of my wedding to life -- in fact, she made it better than I imagined! She carefully selected the best vendors for me and never stopped working until she knew I had exactly what I wanted. With the amount of care and attention she gave me you'd think I was her only client at the time (spoiler: I wasn't, she had many!) but I never felt that. Every call, email, and need was answered promptly. What should have been a stressful three months of planning ended up an absolute breeze thanks to Lisa. As for day-of wedding coordinators, I could not have hoped for a better team and support system than Lisa and Tiffany. As to be expected with all weddings, problems arise, however, I had zero clue about any of it all thanks to my Stress-Free team! They handled every problem -- sometimes even before they became a problem! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Including the surprise firework show that I had planned for my husband and our guests during our first dance. No one else knew about the fireworks except myself and Lisa. This surprise took expert level coordinating as I wanted the show to begin at a precise moment and time. Lisa coordinated with the DJ, photographer, and pyrotechnic team flawlessly. It was a perfect moment we will never forget! I cannot thank Lisa enough for her hard work and dedication to making my dream wedding possible. If you truly want to feel like a guest at your own wedding, look no further than Lisa and her Stress-Free team! The moment you do you can rest knowing your big day is in the best hands.

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.
