She was supposed to begin setting up at 4:00 PM, but the setup still was not completed when my guests were arriving around 5:30 PM. A bystander even had to help with the setup. My guests were waiting for the ceremony area to be finished when they should have been able to arrive and enjoy the wedding. Even worse, before my ceremony I was texting and calling her asking whether everything was being set up. My focus should have been on ME, getting ready, enjoying the excitement and preparing to marry my husband. Instead, I was worrying about whether the person I paid to handle my wedding was going to have everything ready. I can never get that time back. I hired a professional specifically so I would NOT have to manage my own wedding setup. I paid for 30 chairs and received only 26, something she has acknowledged in writing. Then there was the arch. She now claims she brought it to the beach, but I personally never saw it or saw an attempt to set it up. Someone who was there told me she commented that the arch was expensive, that I "didn't pay enough," and that she didn't want it to break. She says wind was the reason it wasn't erected. However, there were other weddings on the beach that day with arches set up. After hearing that comment and never seeing my arch, I absolutely questioned what happened. The finished setup was also significantly different from what I believed I was purchasing based on the photos used to advertise the service. When I questioned this afterward, she told me the advertisement was an "inspiration/design image." If an advertised setup is only inspiration and isn't representative of what the customer should expect, I believe that needs to be made clear BEFORE payment. The lack of preparation also shocked me. At one point she was sweeping the beach with a hanger because she did not have the proper equipment. This was a planned beach wedding. I expected an experienced event professional to arrive prepared. I also was not told until AFTER I had paid that she herself would be my officiant. Even after finding out, I gave her a chance. Unfortunately, when she arrived, I did not feel her clothing, shoes or overall presentation were appropriate or professional for someone who would stand beside us during our vows and appear in our wedding photos. Her shoes appeared several sizes too large, and her feet and extremely long toenails appeared to have what looked like a fungal issue. This isn't about judging someone's appearance. I expected a paid wedding officiant to arrive clean, polished and professionally presented. I was so uncomfortable with the situation that I had to pay a judge at the last minute to officiate my wedding instead. That is not a decision I should have been dealing with immediately before getting married. Thankfully, my family and others came together and saved my wedding day. Without everyone stepping in, I genuinely believe my ceremony could have been a disaster. Afterward, she acknowledged in writing that four chairs were not provided and the arch was not erected, but offered only a $150 "customer service adjustment." I explained why I didn't believe that adequately addressed my experience, but she maintained the offer. I will update this review if and when I actually receive the $150. As of posting this, I have not received it. I also noticed another reviewer previously updated her review saying she had not received a refund she was promised, so I will update mine accordingly. Before another lengthy explanation appears underneath my review, I encourage potential customers to read the other reviews AND the business's responses and make your own judgment. After going back through them, I noticed concerns that felt very similar to my experience. I wish I had paid more attention before booking. Her texts and responses to me also came across as AI/ChatGPT-generated. I obviously cannot know what she actually used, but they felt extremely formal, generic, repetitive and impersonal rather than like a genuine conversation with the person I trusted with my wedding. Your wedding day cannot be redone. I paid a professional so I could enjoy mine without worrying whether my setup would be completed, whether everything I purchased would be provided, or whether I would need another officiant at the last minute. Unfortunately, those are exactly the things I dealt with. I would NEVER use Lone Star Events again. Based on my personal experience, I absolutely do not recommend this business. Read the reviews, ask questions and get EVERYTHING in writing before you book. I truly wish I had done more research before trusting this company with my wedding day.

I got married here in January of 2025, from start to finish my experience was horrible…read more Starting off I met Danielle and booked the venue with her, we talked about my vision, colors, décor, food and drinks etc. After paying the initial downpayment I attempt to contact her about 6 times with no response. I knew exactly what I wanted and was ready to do all the planning. I heard nothing from her for 4 months!!!!! Finally, after 4 months of attempting contact, one day she finally texts me back. We meet at the venue and she is visibly pregnant. She proceeds to tell me she is due the week of my wedding and will not be my wedding coordinator moving forward. We are then introduced to Kelly, ..... Kelly is unable to pour a glass of wine, carry a glass of wine, or a conversation. My husband, parents, and I have to repeat everything we have told Danielle twice now. While the first impression is horrible, I have hope that AT LEAST Kelly might respond to texts. Moving forward Kelly is also difficult to communicate with, she is more responsive to texts. Unfortunately, it seems to be a different type of communication issue, every time I speak to her every time including my wedding day, I am repeating myself in every interaction. Every time I speak, I am lucky to get about 10% of the conversation remembered, understood, or acted upon. Everything is difficult with this venue, even paying! One would think they at least want their money. After 4 attempts at contact for the final payment Kelly finally responds, choses to meet the next day at 10 am. Upon arrival to this meeting, she says "who are you???" Now for my wedding day, after multiple attempts the schedule is not copy and pasted (I did it for her) onto my BEO. I print out my own schedule, list of vendors etc.... (a wedding coordinators job) since I have lost all faith. I was proven correct, both I and my family had to take over any "wedding coordinator" jobs. If I knew how this was going to go, I would have hired a wedding coordinator. Kelly brought her child to my child free wedding and multiple guests informed me an employee's child is running around the venue. We chose the build your own pasta bar for our small (55 person) wedding, terrible choice. It took an hour and a half to two hours to feed everyone and guest spent a lot of time in line. Even with releasing people by table. Our signature drinks were strawberry mojito and old fashions, I wish I would have done a tasting the mojito was the worst I have ever tasted. Rum, lime and water possibly FLAT club soda. Finally, the venue includes a photo booth. The photos were supposed to be sent to me via email within 48 hours of the wedding. I contacted both Danielle and Kelly 4-5 times to finally receive some of them 3 weeks later. Constantly brushing me off saying, "you should have gotten them." I obviously did not or why would I be asking??? I highly suggest choosing a different venue! Very disappointing experience.
