We started planning together 30 days before my wedding and even though I had 95% of my vendors selected she was still so worth it! Karen called every vendor to review the contract, made sure they were aware of timelines and made sure they all new NOT to contact me with a problem the day of the wedding. One of the best feelings was someone asking me "When is the cake cutting?" and me being able to say "I have no idea, go ask my wedding planner!" I'm such a planner that I thought it would be hard to release the reigns, but Karen was so knowledgeable with so much experience that I knew I could truly just enjoy the day! Thank Karen!

They came through every time. They were part-time therapists, part-time mediators, part-time boss babes, and somehow still full-time wedding planners. You only get married once and when you do it is all about the team that you have to help you make it happen. I'm telling you right now that you will not and cannot go wrong with RK Weddings & Events. The time leading up to the day will be hectic. The day will be filled with nerves. And you want to do nothing the day after. They are with you the entire way. Hire them now because they saved my life.

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!

If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. 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.

Robyne Swink at Southern Affairs was seriously the perfect planner for us, and we could not have been happier! After chatting with 4-5 different planners in the Dallas area, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Robyne. She not only has a bubbly and genuine personality, but she also emphasized that her goal was to make us happy. I'm very particular about certain things, so I never wanted to feel like I was coerced into making certain decisions about the wedding. She was definitely the only planner I talked to who I felt would give me solid guidance without being overbearing. I hired her for month-of wedding planning services, which primarily involved pulling together all the vendors right before the wedding and coordinating everything on the day of the wedding. However, that did not stop Robyne from going above and beyond. Right when I signed our contract, she immediately started helping me with some vendor suggestions and even offered to come to some of the meetings with me (and this was over a year in advance!). A handful of our vendors came from her suggestions list, and they were all amazing. Also, Robyne checked in on us every couple of months during our planning process, making sure we were on schedule with everything. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my chest because I knew I could trust her to guide me through the process! Finally, on the day of our wedding, Robyne was the best. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing! She brought two other people with her (including her husband Jeremy, who also happened to be our DJ) to help out, and they definitely had all bases covered. All of our guests and bridesmaids were really impressed with how smoothly (and on time) everything went. She managed to resolve some major issues (like our photobooth showing up 1.5 hours late) without worrying us. Robyne paid attention to every little detail and even helped me fix my dress after one of the bustles broke! She was seriously like Wonder Woman that night :) I would highly recommend hiring Southern Affairs for any of your event needs. I did not have a single complaint about the job that they did for us. Robyne was not only our wedding planner, but she and Jeremy became good friends in the process. She can pretty much work with any style and with any budget. We are so, so glad that we hired her!

Y'all, I don't know what I would've done without Brittany the last few months before my wedding. She's seriously so sweet and genuine, and she works hard to ensure you have a perfect and stress free wedding. I had two wedding ceremonies and I had a hard time finding a photographer for my first one. I asked Brittany for recommendations and within an hour she found the perfect photographer for me and put me into contact for her - it was such a lifesaver! One of my vendors didn't show up the night of my wedding and she handled it discretely and professionally to ensure I had fun on my wedding night. She was also able to calm me down when I was crying due to all of the frustration with the vendor. Those are just a couple of the things amongst many other things that Brittany helped me with. She's a jack of all trades. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further! Brittany, you are seriously such a gem and my wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without you!

Here is my experience with them. 1) Portrait Bouquet. Simple task, right? Not for Bows & Arrows. Alicia must have forgotten to make it, because when I went to pick it up, it was not ready and she ran to the back, used last weeks flowers, and put something together in the wrong shades of pink, and NONE of the flowers I ordered were in there. Not to mention the flowers were wilted and dead. My wedding planner spoke with Alicia about her poor work and said that we would not be paying her until she performed to high standards at the actual wedding. 3 days before the wedding, she calls and says she has no flowers for our wedding and will not be doing it because she has not received payment. After much arguing with her, we payed her reluctantly and she promised to provide for us on the wedding day. 2)Wedding Day: First of all, I CRIED when I saw my bouquet. It was that horrible. The flowers were dead, wilted, and all wrong from what I had ordered. As I was taking pre-wedding pictures, myself and all my bridesmaids were having to rip flowers out of our bouquet because they were wilting and falling over. I was mortified that my dear friends had such pathetic flowers. Not to mention the bouquets were TINY and therefore even smaller once they started ripping out flowers. The alter arrangements were horribly lopsided as well. Ruined all my pictures.... I will say, her petals lining my aisle were outstanding. So was every arrangement at the reception. I gave her some credit for that. 3) Post-Wedding: Sent Alicia an email explaining my disappointment and hoped for reimbursement. I heard from someone in her office saying it was best if they never speak with me or my family again. HORRIBLE customer service. We are continuing to try... Needless to say, DO NOT USE HER! Find someone else!

I'd just gotten engaged two weeks prior, but told myself that I didn't need a wedding planner. Silly me. :) Fast forward to May, when I was just beginning to rip my hair out. My wedding location (both ceremony and reception) was held in a small town, with hardly any wedding-related resources. Thank goodness Wendy was available for our October date because I really don't know what I would've done without her. She's completely in-the-know and paired us with some incredibly amazing vendors that we would've never found on our own. Her personality and spirit is so warm and inviting that you end up wanting her to be your very best friend. She took each of my annoying emails and phone calls in stride, immediately going to work solving all of my problems (which, in the end, weren't really problems). Our wedding day went off without a hitch, as they say. Wendy and her team made sure that the entire day was perfect for us and our families and we are so, so happy that we chose to work with her!

For over a year, Brooke worked closely with me and my husband to plan the best possible wedding for our budget. We live in California but had our wedding in Texas, where I grew up. Brooke was such a great wedding planner. It's hard to believe that it's over. We were very calm the whole week leading up to and during the wedding weekend knowing that she had everything under control. It was a long year filled with crazy meetings and discussions about minutiae. Thanks to her patience and attention to detail, she made sure everything reflected what we wanted. Our family and friends were very impressed with the execution and won't stop talking about how it was the nicest wedding they ever attended, and we can't wait to see the professional photos that I just know will be amazing. Thank you EED!
