My wife gave her some ideas which were just a rough sketch of what she wanted and color schemes, Madina just made it look spectacular. She kept on improving her design till she herself was content on the over all aesthetics, our decor was simply a piece of art. Each part of our decor, the moutnains, the bear, the camp-van, baloons, lights, color scheme, decor pieces and cake stand was done with pure perfection. We cannot recommend her enough, we have been doing kids parties for over 3 years now and till date after dealing with so many decor professionals we can say Madina and her work is exemplary.

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 The string quartet never arrived because 36th Street Events sent their information to an outdated email address.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.

Full-Time Employed Bride - Seeks BZ Events…read more Ladies listen. We think we all have it under control when it comes to our weddings. I understand this is the day we dream about our entire lives - But trying to plan a beautiful wedding on your own is insane. I have a full-time job and you will quickly realize that trying to plan a wedding while working full time is nearly impossible. So I consider myself so lucky to get passed along to Becky and her amazing team at BZ Events. She saved me from many a headache and stress. Here's why.... BZ Saves You Time: Here is an example. Instead of trying to search for a wedding photographer on my own, she recommended 3 to me bases on my style and budget. Of course she had a favorite in mind and at the end of the day, I ended up choosing that photographer. But I could have spent a lot of time away from my job meeting with photographers and other vendors, but since Becky knew my style and budget, she was able to point me in the right direction. BZ Saves You Money: The budget for the wedding WILL be the most stressful thing you deal with. But Becky and her team keep you on track. They plan the budget out from the beginning so there are no extra surprises in the end. And her expertise on what vendors are good and who you can trust will save you money. I mean, who wants to use a vendor with holes in their tents? Becky knows who to trust and capabilities on some great vendors in the Austin area. Whether it's flowers, lighting or that little extra touch, she will help you get the wedding of your dreams. BZ Keeps You Calm: It's the most important day of your life thus far. And you will be stressed out. But somehow, every meeting with Becky seemed to make me feel at ease and on the wedding day, all I did was sit back and enjoy my special day, without having to worry about anything. In the end I'm not sure I would have been able to keep my job, or my sanity, without BZ Events. Becky and her team truly made our day very special and we owe them a HUGE thank you for making it a day we will never forget!

I'll be writing a much longer review later about how great she's been, how she took the time to really understand our vision and get to know us, and how we couldn't have planned an Austin wedding from California without her. In the meantime though, I wanted to get the word out - you need Becky Brock to help you plan your wedding! She knows everything and everyone in Austin, and she really makes "crunch time" in the last few weeks a lot less stressful than it would be otherwise! We love you Becky and couldn't do this without you! Can't wait for the big day!

We were unfortunately not overly thrilled with the services provided. Rachel is a really nice lady,…read morebut it seemed like she had other stuff on her plate maybe and couldn't give our event her full attention. We hired her 3 weeks before our wedding (her services are actually for 4 weeks), but we still paid full price because we were just thankful to find someone at such short notice. She gave us a schedule of the wedding day to fill out and some questions about vendors. After I filled it out, I didn't hear back from her for almost a week. There were some questions on the form that were just never answered, like what time the venue wanted us out by - so I never knew until it was time for us to leave the night of the wedding. I ended up having to go between Rachel and the venue on a few things, when she should've met with them and discussed things a little better. Granted, we hired her 3 weeks out, so that only left her with so much time. We found out a few days before the wedding that she wouldn't be able to make it to the rehearsal (which was on a Friday afternoon), so my father had to make sure everything was running smoothly and then we had to explain to her how it would all work minutes before I walked down the aisle. That was so stressful and I really wish she had been there for the rehearsal. Had I known that, we would've hired someone else. When it was time for our first dance, I had to ask her to start the music and we were just standing there awkwardly waiting, when it was on the schedule that I had filled out beforehand. There was also a problem with the venue's sound system, which some of my wedding guests had to try to fix. I know that wasn't her fault, but my wedding guests knew there was a problem before she knew there was a problem, which isn't right. I also had a few bridesmaids point out (after the wedding) that she was sitting looking at her phone for a long portion of the night. I was enjoying my party, so I can't personally attest to that. I only saw that a couple times. I hired someone to help out so my family and I didn't have to worry as much on the day of the wedding. Maybe my expectations of Rachel's services were off, but the service did not seem to be performed to the best of her abilities. I really hesitated and went back and forth about writing this review. I do not like to speak negatively of people, nor do I want to negatively affect her business, however we were just very unhappy with the service and wish things would have been done differently. :(
