Kelly was incredible! She has every contact you could possibly need, whether you're going all-out…read moreor keeping things simple. We didn't have to lift a finger--we just got to relax, be present, and actually enjoy every minute of our daughter's wedding. With only a short window before the big day, we realized it would be so much easier on our guests if we provided transportation from the Grand Galvez to the church and back to the hotel for the reception. Kelly handled every detail with a private company and it was seamless. The next day she even took care of returning everything--the cake plate, the tux, all of it. We had a couple of guests with dietary restrictions, and she and her assistant Amanda made sure that was completely covered. If my husband or I even thought about wanting a drink while we were walking around greeting people, one of them somehow appeared with it in hand. Kelly doesn't just understand her job--she has an innate understanding of what it means to be the parents of the bride and how to make the whole experience easier on you. Both she and Amanda are friendly, steady when you're stressed, funny, and genuinely personable. They're simply the best event planners you could hope for. When my daughter's veil got left at the hotel right as the ceremony was about to start, they used their connections and somehow it magically showed up at the church with time to spare. Anything we needed to keep--family heirlooms and the rest--they carefully got back into our car or our room afterward. I can't recommend Kelly and Eventology highly enough. We had so much fun that we're seriously thinking about throwing a big party for our friends every five years just so we can do it all over again!

Sava was friendly to my family and minister during rehearsal and also recommended some amazing vendors (limo service, dance studio, hair and makeup etc.) Everything was planned well and put together and my guests were so impressed that the day was so well planned out and put together, and there was not a dull moment. Without Sava I would have been a total mess, and she helped me feel beautiful that day! (She even had a cough drop ready for me when my throat was getting dry from this Texas weather!!)

My fiancé and I got engaged in Jan 2019 and after venue shopping and planning, we were referred to Yvette in May 2019. At the time, we decided to not do a pop up since we ended up deciding to do a wedding on a cruise in 2020. Well obviously that fell apart thanks to the pandemic! Yvette was there to save the day! We were hoping things would get better in 2020 but COVID cases kept rising so we said screw it, let's do the pop up wedding! And we are SO happy that we did! We didn't want to do a huge party and spend thousands on a wedding but we got the upscale wedding look for so much less. Yvette and her team were offering these COVID packages (see their Instagram to see if still on going) and we had an officiant, seating for 25, cake, photographer venue and decorations all for under $2000. My family was worried that since we were spending significantly less than the average wedding cost that it wouldn't be as nice. In fact, we were criticized prior to the wedding, but then the day of the wedding arrived and they were in awe. It was so romantic and beautiful. Yvette and her team added flowers, candles and just made the night so magical. The cake was delicious and over all the experience was dreamy and magical. Pop Up Weddings Houston also go beyond the pop up wedding bookings. Yvette does weddings of all sizes! They actually do wedding give aways on their instagram so check it out if you're recently engaged! They also work with vendors/partners who provide live streaming services, photo booths and more! Anyways, major thanks to Pop Up Wedding Houston! I am totally referring my engaged friends to them! Note: Once I receive my wedding photos I'll update my review to show you all how gorgeous the venue was!

Lindsy played an INTEGRAL part in every phase of our wedding coordination - from budget/cost/contract management, vendor meetings, design support and timeline planning, to frequent conference calls, to-do list updates, tastings and errand running... Lindsy became my trusted adviser, confidante, manager and friend throughout the planning process. Our wedding would never have been as successful or perfect as it was without her help. Lindsy had a special way of turning the emotional and time-consuming parts of wedding planning into a fun and manageable activity for me, my fiance and family. She consistently went above above and beyond, made herself available 24x7 (literally) via text, phone, email and in-person meetings, and expertly managed some of of our more 'complicated' situations. Last minute changes? No problem. Tricky requests? Consider it done. Nothing daunted her. I would HIGHLY recommend Lindsy to anyone planning a special event. Her rates are incredibly reasonable, given just how dedicated she is to her clients. She'll take the time to make sure she understands EXACTLY what you want, how you want it, what you're willing to pay to make it happen and executes the plan beautifully.

Lindsy is the most organized and pleasant wedding coordinator that I have ever worked with. I am a…read morehairstylist that has done A TON of weddings throughout my career. I have met and worked with so many coordinators, which is the part I least like about doing weddings. They are typically fussy and frazzled the day of, and particularly unpleasant to work with leading up to. Lindsy is polite, hard-working and detail-oriented. She keeps things flowing without freaking out when something unexpected pops up. Perhaps that is because her attention to detail has prevented ANYTHING from being overlooked. I recently recommended her to a friend to use for her wedding. I worked the day of doing hair, but I also had the pleasure of attending the ceremony and reception. It was exquisite! The bride kept thanking me over and over for introducing her to Lindsy throughout the process. I could go on and on, but I will leave you with... She is simply the very best! And PLEASE, if you hire me...I only want to work with Lindsy Steinberg!!! :)

Do NOT recommend. Wedding planner Madeline (doesn't seem like she works here anymore - started her…read moreown business kinda seemed like drama.. but I digress) did not show up to the wedding (isn't that your literal one job?) and gave less than a 24 hrs notice. Her "replacement" Caren was incompetent, unfriendly and extremely unhelpful - which led to so much stress on the part of the mother of the bride and the maid of honor. Stephanie showed up at the beginning to help put welcome bags in the rooms, but past that didn't do anything. Piper met with the parents of the bride and the hotel owner HOURS before bride walked down the aisle and Piper didn't say a word (didn't introduce herself or even say hello). Horrible representation as a business owner. For these prices - like are you insane... Wedding planner went over budget and messed up names on invitations and gave NO remedy for this. Further, we asked for a refund / some sort of compensation for the chaos that was Madeline bailing on the wedding and sending someone whose job could have been better done by a 4 year old -- NO response, we sent several emails and nothing - EXTREMELY unprofessional and we are super upset. Yall should be ashamed. Email or message me if you're thinking about using them and I can give more details. Don't waste your money.

If you want 1st class service in a wedding planner, look no further than Monique Wisdom of Wise…read moreEvents and Design! Monique was the 1st person we hired. My fiancé and I had a lot on our plate, so we opted for her full planning service (HIGHLY recommend this option if possible). We found her through a personal recommendation from a wedding she did in Louisiana, THEN come to find out, my best friends brother who was getting married 2 weeks before us, had just hired her as well! I knew we mush have had the best of the best! And I was right! Monique was there every step of the way, from dress appointments/ suit appointments, cake tastings, venue searches... EVERYTHING! She didn't demand to go anywhere and was cool if there was space limits and she couldn't come. Her online portal was SOOOO helpful with keeping me on task from day 1 and was key in helping me to remembering what I needed to do, purchase, or inquire about. She has an extensive preferred vendor list, but if we wanted to look elsewhere, she looked into other options for me as well. She was prompt, timely and followed up with ALL vendors on our behalf! I was able to trust her with RSVP's, timelines, and pretty much everything. We just worked well together in general. She was also conscious of our budget. She let us know where we were being unrealistic, and where we were probably over budgeting. She really helped us execute our vision perfectly! Day of, she was the calm to my chaos. lol! We didn't have to worry about anything. I didn't find out about things that went wrong until after the wedding because she handled them on our behalf. She was intent on making sure we got EVERYTHING we asked for. She has a great team of assistants that helped day of. They kept of 400-person wedding flowing smoothly. Last minute, I was looking for cold sparks and dancing on a cloud and she was able to find one of her past clients who offered the service, was able to help me negotiate some things and get the service for us near our budget! She is worth every penny we paid and soooo much more! She was our first wedding investment and we definitely got top tier services!! I heard horror stories about brides and their planners, but Monique is AMAZING, even tempered, and truly a friend throughout the whole process!! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Dorjan and I are soooo proud to be a WED Couple! WE LOVE YOU, Mo!

I am extremely disappointed and frankly frustrated with the handling of my appointment by your…read morebridal shop. I received a call moments ago informing me that although I was the first to book my appointment for this Saturday, I am now being asked to move my time to 1:30 PM due to the size of my party. This is incredibly upsetting. If I secured my appointment first, I do not understand why I am the one being asked to adjust rather than accommodating later bookings accordingly. That decision feels both unfair and dismissive of my time and planning. What makes this even more disheartening is that I have family, including my aunt, traveling in from out of town specifically for this appointment. Receiving this type of notice on a Thursday afternoon leaves me with virtually no reasonable opportunity to secure another bridal salon that can accommodate us on such short notice. This experience has been deeply frustrating and has added unnecessary stress to what should be a very special and meaningful moment in my wedding journey. I expected better consideration, communication, and respect for my original booking.

Tears of Anger not joy. On our wedding day, Darrell showed up 15 mins prior to the start of the…read moreceremony. He was very disheveled and unorganized. He promised a team of 8-10 and showed up with 4 people. (The day of he stated His staff needed to change clothes in our hotel suite, which was very unprofessional, as this was suppose to be our special day and private time with our wedding party). We began texting and calling Darrell at 8am the day of our event, with no response from him. It wasn't until 2pm when another vendor called and texted us in a group with Darrell saying they have not heard from him and need to get in touch ASAP! Many of the vendors complained to us about how unprofessional and unorganized Darrell was. Our wedding day was a disaster. Darrell over promised and failed to deliver. We had terrible communication issue throughout the planning process to the point that we had to demand a discount a month prior to the wedding day, because WE had basically planned everything OURSELVES . Still we were hoping he would execute the day of, since we have seen beautiful picture of past events. Many of his staff has quit, which now i understand why. I have so much more to add... but the most important thing is to STAY AWAY FROM THIS FRAUD "WEDDING PLANNER" that planned and executed absolutely NOTHING correctly.

We hired Darrell in 2019 for our wedding that was supposed to take place September 2020. Our…read moreinitial meeting with Darrell was pleasant but I should have noticed a slight pink flag when he conducted the meeting from his condo after telling us he had an office space but changed it last minute. (lie number one of 20458594) We however appreciated the conversation and decided to book full wedding planning services with Events with Darrell since we were living in Dallas at the time. First big issue - Darrell tells us that he is going to set up a week/weekend of vendors for us including catering, décor, etc and that we should plan to come to Houston to meet with them. I at the time was an Assistant Principal of an Elementary School and therefore taking time off doesn't always come easy but we made it work. I reached out to Darrell to confirm that we would be traveling in on Friday to experience meetings Friday afternoon and Saturday. He promised an itinerary that would be sent before we left. We received NOTHING. Friday morning comes and we send a confirmation text naming we would be heading to Houston and arriving around noon and asked for confirmation on where to meet. No response. We were going to cancel the trip but also knew we needed to plan the wedding so we chalked up his lack of response to him being busy so we hit the road. Get halfway to Houston, reach out about the meeting....NOTHING. Arrive in Houston...STILL NOTHING. At this point I'm venting to one of my bridesmaids who's a professional photographer in Seattle about the issue not knowing she's apart of a group that includes knowing Darrell. After this vent; Darrell reached out via phone to lie about what happened and why he was unresponsive. Something to the tune of "I was traveling and didn't have my phone." Anyway he did manage to get us in with the caterer (who was simply amazing) and the décor company (who was equally amazing) Let's fast forward because we should have fired him after that experience but because we'd began to pay him I stuck with him....WRONG Our wedding was rescheduled to 12/11/21 and prior to rescheduling the interview I asked Darrell if he was going to be ok with the change. He agreed it would work but that was yet another lie (I'll get to that later) Ok so let me also not I did not include lots of the lies and ignoring Darrell did. Because of this I basically planned my own wedding. I booked the DJ, changed catering information, booked the marquee letters, the violinist, the photobooth, bartender, created the run of show, EVERYTHING...and I won't even bother yall with the disorganization he had at the wedding rehearsal. NOPE. It's wedding day and Darrell's assistant at the time Keisha said she would be at my hotel by 7:00am. Didn't happen. I get a call from the vendor we booked to do our cloud smoke and sparkler stuff around 11:00am saying Darrell is not at the venue (he told me he was going to be there all day) and she doesn't know where to put the stuff. I get another text from our marquee vendor saying she has called Darrell over 20 times and needs to know where to put the letters because she too is at the venue and Darrell isn't there. I reach out to Keisha around this time and you can tell when she answers the phone that her breath stinks because she's just waking up. She says she will handle it and I let it go. Keisha shows up a few hours later, we've taken pics and we are ready to transition. Thinking Keisha is going to the wedding venue with us I give her my veil because it's super grand and I didn't want to walk with it. We transition to the ceremony venue (a little late but that's ok) and they won't let me get off the bus. Come to find out Darrell is there, Keisha is NOT and she has my muthaf***in veil. Irritated I tell Darrell that I will just walk without it and let's begin. Ceremony occurs yay yay yay and now it's time for the reception which is at another venue. We get to the ceremony venue and its breathtaking. But, no Darrell, no Keisha, no Pablo, and none of his other rented "assistants" Keisha shows up about 45 min later pretending like she was at the venue (lies) we FINALLY begin. We walk in as a bridal party, everything is finally flowing and the sparklers go off but they are under some beautiful pompas leaves. Well those beautiful leaves spark a fire and BAM we had to shut the wedding down for an hour to ensure that everything was safe and taken care of. This caused me to miss the father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, bouquet toss, garter toss, and all the American traditions we planned. What saved the wedding you ask? Not Keisha, or Darrell although Keisha did try to reconcile things so I appreciate that and Darrell was in a corner crying like a bit**. It was actually the Nigerian traditional ceremony we included in the wedding. Theirs so much more I could say but I wouldn't ever think of hiring Darrell. He's a FRAUD! Don't play roulette with your special day by hiring him.
