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.

Meredith from Clearly Classy Events went over and beyond all of my expectations. My daughter lives…read morein California and had to do things by phone. I honestly expected to be working my butt off last Friday night (May 29, 2015), but I didn't have to lift a finger! She let me do a bit a decorating, but only because I begged! When my daughter said she was hiring Meredith, I was concerned that it was an unnecessary expense, however it was the best money spent on the wedding!!! The best part was the final hour of the reception when I just got to sit and watch Meredith load the van! Jessica was also wonderful and helped us so much. It was a beautiful night and I really appreciate how professional they both were! Leave the heavy lifting to these wonderful women!!!!

I generally don't write reviews but for Johnell I think she definitely needs an appreciation!…read more We reached out to Johnell for my 3 year old's birthday party recently. We hardly had two weeks for the event day and Johnell worked day and night to get everything planned and coordinated according to the theme of the party. She provided great suggestions like the claw machine, face painting and a magician. It was tough to get a magician in that short time period but she did her magic to find the best one for the event and it was great! All our 50+ guests who attended the party raved about how well the planning and coordination was done for a 3 year old's birthday. It wouldn't have happened without her! She also helped with my baby shower back in early 2020 when Covid didn't hit us yet. My husband worked with her to throw me a baby shower and it was amazingly done. That baby shower event has made us reach out to her again because we knew she will do an excellent job and can trust her because she puts her heart in every event that she takes up. Thank you so much Johnell for all the efforts and an outstanding work even with such short time that you had.

Jessika and 36th Street were the absolute best. Planning a wedding alone was not something we…read morewanted to do, so we made the decision to hire a wedding planner, and we made the right choice. After we had everything planned and ready to go, Covid threw a wrench in our plans. Jessika jumped in and made it stress free for us, making sure everything was moved to a new date and handled the details with the vendors. The day of went fantastic as well. Jessika and team were so involved in everything and made sure that we could focus on each other and not on everything going on around us. I CAN NOT recommend her enough.

I am genuinely disappointed to write this review and cannot recommend Ren Newey or 36th Street…read moreEvents. Our kids hired this planner, and from the very beginning there were warning signs-but the scope of the issues that unfolded went far beyond anything we could have anticipated. From not remembering meeting the groom after a one-hour introductory call, to ongoing disorganization, to inconsistent and frequently changing pricing, the experience was stressful throughout. We were quoted inflated costs for items such as generators-significantly higher than what we were able to negotiate ourselves-and were directed to vendors whose pricing was nearly ten times higher than identical products available on Etsy. Despite being repeatedly reassured that all details were handled, several critical failures occurred on the wedding day. The string quartet never arrived because 36th Street Events sent their information to an outdated email address. Instead of notifying the bride, groom, or any parents about the mistake, recorded music was played without explanation. Requested site visits never happened, staffing was not confirmed, and as a result dinner was delayed by 60-90 minutes, guests had no water available, and the wrong song was played for the father-daughter dance. These operational missteps were extremely disappointing. However, the most troubling aspect was the unprofessional and at times blatantly rude behavior displayed by Ren toward parents, guests, and even the priest officiating the ceremony. Multiple guests approached us asking why the wedding coordinator was so dismissive and why, as family members scrambled to help guests during a sudden rain, she stood by and watched. Prior to the bride and groom entering the reception, Ren told the groom he should button his jacket so he "didn't look fat." All of the above are just a few examples of the disappointment. For an event as meaningful as a wedding, professionalism, organization, and care matter enormously--and sadly, these were consistently lacking. After our bad experience, I did see another similar review for Ren on this platform.

Company Owners & CEO's:…read more There's not enough time!......PERIOD! Our responsibilities leave us spread so thin that in order to try and plan a party or EVent of some type for our employees is merely impossible. I can't stress enough how much weight was lifted off my shoulders when I contacted Jessica and requested her services. She literally asked me 6 questions and BOOM!! I mean EVentfullATX was spot on EVerything! Facebook EVent page, evite's, RSVP's, Follow-up's w/ vendors, etc. The honest truth of having someone as pleasant to work with as Jessica and the experience to finally just get back to your team members and not have to worry about the things that drive you insane when planning EVents. No preparations, No confirmations, No follow-ups, No clean-up or payouts, No break-down, etc. Simply show up, enjoy the time you have with dear ones and get back to why it is you do what you do day in and day out with the people you love to work with! That reason alone should be worth getting onboard. I simply can't recommend EVentfull ATX enough! CHEERS!

Unfortunately our planner Wendee did not handle the day of this wedding well at all! We (house…read moreparty and bridesmaids) scrambled around getting things set up as guests were arriving! Not sure if she took on more then she could handle, or didn't have a back-up plan (it rained and we moved things inside). The bride was etremely organized and had things planned and listed to the detail - but they did not get done! The wedding party saved the set-up but the planner did not come through! They got a star for the help in planning and meeting before - which the bride said went well. But the day of a wedding is a one time shot and this did not go well. I was very disappointed.

I wish that I could reccomend Wendee of Lucie's events, but I cannot do so based on my experience…read moreas a bride. We had multiple challenges with Wendee throughout the process in regards to prompt and organized communication. It took multiple attempts and emails to get simple responses - often inquiries were overlooked and not responded to with any amount of detail. Emails were somehow "misplaced" and overall the level of communication was not as promised. While Wendee had a great deal of creative ideas and interesting touches that she wanted to add to our event, there was extremely poor execution on her end when it came to the day of the wedding. As I bride, I didn't even see her for the first time until I walked upstairs with my dad, ready to walk down the aisle. The next time I saw her was at the end of the evening as we were leaving the venue. We were not sure where she was during the events of the evening - our toasts started without us in the room, we did not have champange glasses in our hands until the second round of toasts, we were given no direction on cutting the cake, tossing the bouquet, etc. - all the details we wanted to see run smoothly and the reason we hired her. In all honestly, I'm not sure if she was even present the entire evening and I'm really not sure what she was doing other than packing up some of our decor at the end of the night. Without some wonderful friends, my event would not have been set up the way that we had walked through MULTIPLE times. We could not have been more organized for her with labeling, multiple detailed floorplans, etc. I'm not sure if she took on too much or just wasn't present to do her job - but we were extremely disapointed with the way the evening was left to run without her coordination. Unfortunately this is not a day that you can "re-do". I wish that I would have made a very different choice when choosing my wedding coordinator.

I have yet to have as well organized of an experience or quality of event as any of the races I have been part of with High Five events. First of all High Five spends a good amount of time making sure they have enough volunteers, paid staff, police and medical teams at the races. They do a great job of making sure everyone at the event is informed of any changes before the race start and they do everything they can to keep the participants safe. High five has a once a year party for those that participate in the whole Texas Tri series. This is a big event that for every year I have been to, has gone off without a hitch. If you get a chance to race a High Five event race consider yourself lucky. They really are top notch.
