My wife and I got engaged in October 2021. We knew we wanted a spring wedding in Austin Texas. We live in Scottsdale Arizona so for us, this was a destination wedding. My wife had a few converstons with other wedding planners in the Ausitn area, and she left the conversations even more stressed, overwhelmed, and felt it was impossible to plan a wedding in 6 months. When she met with Stefanie, she was blown away (and even cried tears of joy on the first video call). Stefanie was helpful, direct, honest, and let us know we could absolutely plan a wedding in 6 months, we just had to be decisive. She sent us dozen of wedding venues, and we landed on The Hyatt Regency, Lost Pines Resort and Spa. She read and edited our venue contract, kept us within our budget, and helped us plan every step along the way. She set us up with weekly tasks, would check in every day or two, and give her honest opinion on questions we had. Stefanie is organized, quick to respond, and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Our wedding ran so smooth, and my wife and I didnt think about any details the day of. We knew Stefanie had everything under control. We made the best decision to hire her. If you are in the Austin area, and want 100% of your wedding stress to be lifted, work with Stefanie.

Overall, my partner and I's experience with this company was frustrating. We paid for the top tier…read morepackage with YWYW. It feels like we were let down by how things were handled especially in the last few months leading up to the wedding. They use an online tool (aisle planner) which is super helpful when there are items to discuss. However, there were numerous times we needed to email because something we wanted to discuss was not on the checklist and many times that things were lost via email. Also, the tool didn't have a convenient way for us to upload things to the portal. The vendor quotes we got for things were very limited. When we wanted an outside vendor (not on the list provided) it felt like we needed to handle that ourselves. It also was much much faster turn arounds when we spoke directly to the vendors. Stefanie is a very personable, friendly and kind person. She really does a good job of making you feel important. However, the follow through was not there leading up to our day. For example, after several weeks up no response, we finally got a response to start on invitations. We had already sent save the dates. However, the invitation design/send process started so late we had guests reach out to ask if they were uninvited because they hadn't received their official invites. Plus, we sent them so late our guests had less than 2 weeks to respond. Towards the last 6 weeks leading up to our wedding, there was a medical related incident that caused some delays - which we completely understand. People first!However, the communication, transition and delays were horrible. For example, we had another several weeks without YWYW contacting us at all. Then, we received an email stating the radio silence was based on a medical incident. We had a HUGE mishap with catering and most of the communication with the vendor was handled by the wedding planner themselves. Meaning, it was hidden from us - which is good normally. However, the day before our wedding, I asked about the final invoice and it was 30% larger than the last invoice we saw (we didn't add that much). When I seemed shocked, the first response from our wedding planner was don't worry, it's still within budget. That felt unsettling to me. It turned out the cater had misquoted the cost of staff (buffet versus plated). The wedding planner did step in and fix this once we communicated frustration with it. On the day of, everything went well. However, our wedding planner could not make the event. They had a medical issue and had first, communicated that they were going to be well enough to attend our wedding and then week of, told us that they were no longer coming. Which was totally good but the replacement wasn't good. They were often short with me, my partner, my sister and my matron of honor. They snapped at my wedding party a few times in front of me. They were hard to find often and did not have the catering issues handled - I was asked where the special diet person sat (even though this was communicated thoroughly with YWYW). If we were to do the experience again, we would do most of the planning ourselves and then hire a day or week of coordinator. We are both very organized, detailed and informative. We felt like we could have found cheaper, tested and still lovely vendors. On the bright side, I didn't like my first make up trial and the wedding planner worked really hard in one day to get me set up with another trial and contract. It helped immensely because I felt beautiful on my wedding day. They even gave me their business phone number to text/call when needed. We felt really supported here. However, it was by far the best turn around we saw. We feel overall that the ball was dropped for our wedding multiple times towards the end. However, our day ultimately was beautiful and magical. We will be grateful for some of the wonderful vendors YWYW provided to us. We wanted to get a wedding planner to alleviate some of the stress around wedding planning but felt it frustrating at times.

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.

I can't say enough good things about Heather and all of her help making our wedding day perfect…read more Hands down, enlisting her services was the best money my husband and I spent in the whole wedding process. Every time we spoke or sat down with her I could feel my stress ebbing away. She is so incredibly professional, organized, responsive, and sweet. Heather sat down with us and ran through the break-down of our wedding day, where people needed to be, and when they needed to be there. She kept in touch with all of the vendors, made them aware of the plan, and communicated any issues to us. When she could, she even tried to just solve any of those issues herself. If you're unsure about hiring a wedding planner or coordinator, do it - you will be so happy you did... and if you're unsure about who to hire, just hire the best and hire Heather. Thank you so much again for everything!
