Kelsey worked with me from the beginning concept, throughout all of my client's changes, and even throughout the event itself. Her keen attention to detail, and knowledge of the event made my life so much easier. Additionally, High Beam has awesome connections with vendors in Austin. I gave Kelsey an idea of what I wanted, and she worked with me to make it happen (even at the very last minute). I HIGHLY recommend using High Beam for corporate events!

Jordan and David, the duo behind Big Tim Creatives, are event rock stars! They recently helped…read moredesign and execute my wedding, and the end result was beyond my wildest dreams. They took my vision and turned our event into something truly magical ... my friends and family are still talking about the gorgeous décor and how seamless everything went. During the planning process, Jordan and David were responsive, honest about ideas and giving feedback, flexible and accommodating, and really fun to work with. I always looked forward to our meetings. Both of them have many years in the event industry under their belt and they really know their stuff! And it shows. David has a great eye for design and encouraged some really fun design elements -- including a cow skull for our arbor and feathers in my bouquet. Jordan also has a great eye, and is super organized and has a calm energy about her, which is so incredibly helpful when you are stressing about the big day. They had great vendor recommendations, and everyone we worked with were total pros. Jordan also put together a production schedule for me about 7 or 8 months before the wedding, which really helped me stay on track for what needed to be done when. I can't say enough good things about this event company...highly, highly, highly recommend!

I consider myself to be an organized person, but I could have NEVER pulled off our wedding without…read moreBrittany. From start to finish, Brittany offered suggestions and advice and made sure I was on track with keeping things moving forward. I bounced ideas off of her and she offered ideas I would have never thought of. She has seen so many weddings and therefore had suggestions for what would and wouldn't work for our own wedding. Not only is Brittany experienced at what she does, she is also an absolute gem of a person! Being around her instantly puts you in a good mood and I now consider her a friend. As we started planning out the wedding, we decided we also could use her skills in planning a rehearsal dinner the night before. Brittany took on the challenge and worked two long days/evenings in a row to make sure our weekend was everything we wanted and more. And it was! What a hustler! She is literally superwoman! Brittany kept us on schedule, checked in with me often, helped create a timeline that worked for us, communicated with all our vendors to make sure all the parts came together beautifully, and so much more! Many guests of mine have told me since the wedding weekend that they had wonderful interactions with Brittany and felt so welcomed the second they arrived because of her incredible hospitality. WE LOVE BRITTANY!! Event Julep was our lifeline. You won't regret hiring her! Thank you, Brittany for everything you did for us!!

Brittany is a phenomenal wedding coordinator and you should not hesitate to hire her if you have…read morethe chance. We had our wedding in Sonoma in late September 2017 and it went off incredibly smoothly in large part to Brittany's hard work, attitude, and friendly / calm demeanor. Without her guidance throughout the planning process we would have been lost. Going into our wedding day, we told Brittany the general theme / setup we had in mind and she was able to turn our thoughts into reality. She managed to keep all of the stress and details of the day away from us so we could focus on getting married and enjoying the big day with our guests. Brittany coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure they were set up properly and on time. We found out after our wedding that there were issues with some of our rentals and she took care of it (we ended up with upgraded chairs!). When the guests arrived, she kept the event flowing and was flexible when things didn't go according to plan. If it wasn't for her we'd still be at cocktail hour! Guests always knew where to go and nothing felt rushed. Several guests commented on how professional Brittany is and how smoothly the event was run. Immediately after our wedding we both couldn't believe how well it turned out and expressed how lucky we were to have found Brittany.

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. :(

Sharlee is my absolute hero. I had taken a stab at planning my ~115 person wedding, and while I…read morefelt like I had a vision, I was totally overwhelmed by execution. From the moment we connected, Sharlee was empathetic, organized as all heck, and an absolute delight to work with. She grabbed all the information she could from my brain and my inbox (and dealt with receiving all of it in pieces, because who has the mental fortitude to collate that kind of information?) and that was it -- she deftly handled the rest. She was equally adept and incredible on the day of the wedding. Multiple people commented on how Sharlee was helpful, kind and organized with our guests. For example, I had high hopes for capturing a lot of group photos in a very short amount of time. Sharlee ensured everyone was lined up and ready to go, and we got them all in what must have been record time, because when we were done I heard our photographer comment, "That was incredible."

When we showed up to the rehearsal and Sharlee had call sheets for the whole wedding party with a timeline of ALL wedding events, including hair and makeup and photos, a map of the venue, and other key details about the wedding day, we were beyond grateful and in complete awe of the effort she put in to make our day run flawlessly. Our wedding day was the PERFECT day, and I honestly believe Sharlee was a HUGE part of making that happen. I cannot thank her enough for everything! BOOK HER! You won't regret it.

If you don't read anymore of this very long and thorough review, please read the next sentence as…read moreit will sum everything up. HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING!!!! Seriously, if I was not smart, well organized, and a good planner, Tracy Zbranek of Events by Decisions very well could have ruined my wedding. Other than being incredibly charming and pretty, I have no idea how she is staying in business and I feel so sorry for couples who have hired her. I almost fired her three times but didn't because I knew I would be out $3000 that would not be refunded. In her defense, she was somewhat helpful day of. Below are specific examples of my dealings with Tracy from March 2011 to September 2012. Professionalism One of my friends heard her saying nasty things about me, the bride, at my reception. I know it's true because it was recorded. Many people complained about her to me after the wedding and said she was "rude." She drinks way too much and it's just not professional to get smashed at business meetings. It's also not professional to run your hand down my now husband's chest and abs when you say goodbye because you're drunk. Yeah, she did that. She was pretty much late to everything. 5-10 minutes at times, over 1 hr for our initial meeting. Communication Communication with Tracy was challenging to say the least. When she responds to emails it is usually not prompt. Many of my emails went completely unanswered or required 1-2 weeks for a response, with me sending additional inquiry messages. Received responses often didn't address the question or issue at all. There were several times when calls were not returned, promises to call were made and never followed through on, etc. *Organization If you are an organized person there is no reason why you should ask the same questions over and over again because you didn't write down the answers. That happened a lot. So many things were wrong with my reception and she would have caught them had she been more organized. She didn't even notice that the linen company completely left out all of my table runners from the order. This was probably because 1 hr before the rental company closed for the weekend they called me to ask if anyone would be coming to pick up the order, something she was tasked to do! Creativity The phrase "One Trick Pony" comes to mind. She loves to do brunches at Mansion at Judges Hill. Thinking outside the box is not her forte. I was promised an inspiration board when I signed my contract with EDI. I never received one. She did nothing regarding my wedding design. Referrals / Negotiation with Vendors Tracy can get you some awesome discounts. There were several times that we got the hook up because she is very well connected. She is also a great saleswoman and can negotiate like a beast. The problem is that she likes to use the same vendors and makes the same referrals for everyone (Paper Place, Simon Lee...) Some are great places but they are also very pricey. For a bride on a budget they are often just a dream. She sent me to vendors she knew were way out of my budget which only served to waste my time and frustrate me because I just couldn't afford all of the beautiful things laid out before me. I ended up basically finding all of my own vendors. Overall, her communication with vendors was seriously lacking. She failed to let our cake vendor know our cake was leaning and looked like it might fall over. She failed to return the rented cake stand in a timely manner, as she promised me, and cost me a $50 deposit. Value Sure, she might save you money but at what cost to your sanity? Working with her was a maddening and incredibly frustrating experience. I sincerely regret hiring her. I'm not angry anymore and I refuse to let anything about my experiences with her ruin the memory of what was my very special day. But I wish I hadn't hired her and I hope that anyone who reads this won't have to go through what I went through. A lot of the previous reviews reflect a time when there was another partner, Shannon, in the business. She isn't with EDI anymore and it's just Tracy. If you choose to go forward with EDI, best of luck to you. You're going to need it!

STAY AWAY FROM EDI AND TRACY. It was the biggest mistake in my wedding. I am not sure how someone…read morecan run a business and completely lack in ethics and professionalism, but she has found a way. I would have rated her less than one star if it was possible. If you are looking to hire a wedding planner, LOOK ELSEWHERE. We are still in the process of filing a suit against her. Really hope all brides do not have to go through the same BS I did. Your wedding day is stressful enough, hire someone who is reliable and will actually do the job you pay for. This person is not Tracy.
