The Real-Life DREAMMAKERS…read more There are truly no words that could ever adequately do justice to the magic that is Katie and her team at As You Wish. The name says it all because Katie and her team genuinely have a way of making your every wish come true. In our culture, weddings are something parents begin dreaming about long before their children even enter the world, and Katie and her team understood the weight and meaning of that from the very beginning. When it came time for my own wedding, there was truly no one else we could have imagined trusting with the most important and special moments of our lives. As someone who had never really pictured what my own wedding day would look like, and who struggles with analysis paralysis and decision-making, Katie was an absolute godsend. She was endlessly patient and helped me uncover what I actually wanted, even when I couldn't put it into words. I also struggle to visualize how individual concepts will come together, and Katie and her team went above and beyond to make everything tangible, from beautiful design boards to taking me in person to touch fabrics, see layouts, and experience table designs firsthand. They never once made an idea feel too big, too complicated, or impossible. Instead, their response was always, "Let's make it happen." And they did. Again and again, they brought ideas to life in ways that somehow surpassed even what I had imagined. One of the most special parts of the entire process was watching Katie and my dad work hand in hand to bring this wedding to life. My dad can certainly get carried away with ideas , but even the things that others might have deemed impossible, Katie and her team found a way to make happen. She never made us feel like we had to sacrifice or compromise. When I told her I was having 19 bridesmaids, she didn't even blink, she leaned all the way in and celebrated the love and the magnitude of it all. And Katie and her team didn't just help create our wedding. They helped make our entire wedding journey unforgettable. They brought our engagement party to life and planned the most incredible bachelorette weekend in Park City. When I told Katie I didn't want our ballroom to feel like a hotel ballroom, she basically said, "Say less." And somehow, a hotel ballroom was transformed into an actual wonderland, with carpeting installed and every detail elevated so completely that it felt like we had stepped into an entirely different world. And they did not stop at the transformation of the ballroom. There were fireworks, a drone show, a personalized Pixar animation film, a surprise flash mob, light up Bollywood dancers, laser light shows, two incredible bands, the most fun DJ, endless eats and treats, a perfume bar, a custom donut wall, a personalized putt putt course, a bangle bazaar, a haiku station, a vintage photobooth, custom hotel key cards, color smoke bombs, AND SO MUCH MORE. Every detail was completely unexpected, incredibly thoughtful, and so uniquely us. It was truly unparalleled and one of a kind. Most importantly, Katie and her team beautifully and seamlessly blended our two cultures into an incredible four-day Indian-American wedding celebration. It was everything we could have hoped for and more, and truly something I believe only they could have executed with such thoughtfulness, beauty, and intention. Katie is present every step of the way. She is one of the most responsive, organized, and genuinely incredible people I have ever met, and I am still in awe of how she manages to do it all. When wedding planning inevitably became overwhelming, she was the person who grounded me, brought me back to what mattered, and reminded me that at the heart of everything was my husband and me. She made sure our wedding was not just beautiful, but ours. She intentionally created moments for the two of us, protected the things that mattered most to us, and always made sure we were getting the experience we truly wanted. There is truly no one better than Katie and the As You Wish team.

Working with Katie and her team at As You Wish was honestly the best decision we made for our…read morewedding. We worked with them for about a year and a half, and they were so patient, open minded, and incredibly detail oriented the entire time. They really listened to what we wanted while also keeping us organized, on track, and making sure everything still felt elevated and classy. Katie and her team were always there to answer all of our questions and truly became our biggest advocates throughout the entire planning process. They even took the time to get to know our parents, which meant so much to us, and helped build trust with them along the way. It made the whole experience feel seamless and supported for everyone involved. They also went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect. Katie and her team helped us find venues that weren't even on our original list and somehow just knew what would be the right fit for us. Katie has this amazing ability to light up a room and make you feel confident in every decision you're making together, which is honestly one of the best things you could ask for in a wedding planner. What meant the most to us was how much effort Katie and her team put into understanding all of our wedding rituals. Having an Indian wedding, this was really important to us, and they took the time to learn, respect, and execute everything so thoughtfully. It made us feel so seen and taken care of throughout the entire process. Katie and her team really went above and beyond with every detail that went into our wedding. I remember people asking me if I was nervous, and I would always say no because I fully trusted Katie and her team to pull off the best wedding weekend possible, and that is exactly what they did. They helped us build our dream team of vendors, and everything came together so seamlessly because of them. Anytime someone asks about our wedding weekend, we always say it exceeded our expectations and that is all thanks to Katie and her team. Could not recommend As You Wish more!

Before finding Dallas Palms I was disappointed when I saw wedding venues that didn't offer anything besides the venue. You had to rent tables, linens, and find a caterer all on your own. Dallas Palms truly has it all! Cathy was our wedding coordinator and helped us with whatever we needed. The other staff was friendly and helpful as well. Dallas Palms can help you with pretty much anything you need. For example they helped us look for DJ's, mariachi bands, set up the venue, and make the boutiques/boutineers. They provided the tables/chairs, linens, and silverware. (and I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting) There are many unique things that the Dallas Palms can offer you, but one of my favorite things they did was our dessert bar. We didn't want a traditional wedding cake and this was something different they could offer. The bar was full of ice cream with toppings, an assortment of cookies and cupcakes. It was so fun and guests loved that they could have something sweet whenever they wanted. I hope you have a great experience like we did and give this place a chance! Thank you Cathy and anyone else that helped make our day so much fun and special.

I reached out to Dallas Palms via email on April 10, 2025, to share our concerns privately. As of…read moreApril 22, there has been no response, so I am posting this review to help inform other couples. We held our wedding on March 29, 2025, with over 500 guests, including many who traveled from out of state and internationally. While the celebration was memorable in many ways, it was due largely to the hard work of our family and the patience of our guests. Unfortunately, there were several issues with the venue that significantly impacted our experience. * Venue Access: We were promised full use of the Bellaire room, but only received access to half due to construction. We were not made aware of the final changes until the day of the event. This impacted layout and vendor setup, leading to unexpected additional costs. * Power Accessibility: Several electrical outlets were not functioning, creating complications for our vendors. * Restroom Conditions: Restrooms were not cleaned or maintained during the event and lacked hot water. Multiple guests brought this to our attention. * Weather Contingency: A tent was discussed in early planning as a complimentary option in the event of rain. We were later told--one day before the wedding--that it would cost $10,000 and had to be arranged a week in advance. Unfortunately, it rained during the event, and no coverage was provided. * Safety Concerns: During the rainstorm, staff began mopping the floors while guests sought shelter, and no wet floor signs were posted. This created safety concerns. * Seating Plan Issues: A detailed seating chart and layout were sent via email and reviewed during our walkthrough. On the wedding day, the plan was not followed. When we asked for clarification, the coordinator - Cathy, said she never received it, despite email confirmation on March 11th. * A/V Services: We paid $811 for six TVs to display our short film and seating plan. The TVs were non-functional during the event, and the on-site technician was not present. We were informed for the first time that our external DJ was expected to manage the venue's equipment, which was not part of the agreement. * Security and Staffing: We were told there would be two security officers, but only one was present. Several tables, including key family seating, were missing. The day-of coordinator, Cathy - was unavailable at critical times, and our family had to step in to support logistics during the storm. We paid over $35,000 and took many steps to confirm details in advance, including sending a comprehensive planning booklet and email follow-ups. Despite that, the event day was marked by disorganization and unfulfilled commitments. Our wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. We had hoped for a smooth and professional experience. I'm sharing this review so others can make informed decisions when selecting a venue for such an important occasion. (Please check Google Reviews if you'd like to see supporting videos)

Despite my initial sadness that it would rain on my wedding day, everything was executed perfectly. The transition indoors was impeccably timed and guests were thrilled to head into the air conditioning and experience another part of the Nasher. We had the time of our lives and appreciate their help in creating an unforgettable event. Would highly recommend!

Huge thank you to Laura, Jacy, Marsha and the Stardust team for helping us plan the perfect wedding…read moreday! I'm probably one of the only grooms writing a review for this amazing wedding planning team, but they deserve a shoutout because they're all rockstars. My wife and I started planning our wedding with the Stardust team in 2019 with our wedding originally scheduled for 2020. COVID happened and so it got pushed out to 2021. This meant that we worked closely with the Stardust team for 2 whole years, and they kept us organized (but most importantly calm) throughout the entire process. Laura was our Lead planner, and she is highly efficient, communicative, organized, basically everything you'd want in a wedding planner. She answered all of our questions throughout all kinds of odd hours and helped us bring the wedding vision we had in our mind to reality. It's also important to note that my wife bought her wedding dress here as well, and she looked stunning on wedding day :) If any couple is looking for a wedding planner to plan their perfect wedding, look no further, you got the best in this team.

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.

I had just about given up on getting the wedding of my dreams. Cindy immediately reassured me over and over that it was going to be okay. Even though I was a short notice inquiry, they fit me in their schedule and worked overtime (on their day off) to help me and create a vision for my wedding. They provided decor for both my reception and ceremony, lighting, dance floor and floral. I mean just completely gave me a wedding of a lifetime in only 3 weeks. I'm forever grateful for them.

We reach out to Cindy the next day and ask to discuss the misses. She pushes us off until next week, because she is working on another wedding. Nice of her to show up to someone else's wedding but not ours. I guess we didn't pay her enough for her appearance fee. We get on the phone with Cindy the next week and explain to her all of the things that were done incorrectly (wrong arch, pipe cleaners exposed, poles and bases exposed, no one checks in/out with us at the venue, etc.). Cindy proceeds to tell us that we are misremembering all of the conversations that we had and that we should have contacted her when we noticed something was wrong. On our wedding day, this lady wants us to call her. Excuse me. What a joke. We're supposed to stop walking down the aisle to call her and say her work is subpar. Absolutely zero accountability from someone that got paid to provide a service. Save yourself the time, effort, headache, and lies. Work with someone else.
