Where to start... Jo Ann and the entire Schwartz and Woodward team are absolutely incredible. From…read morestart to finish, the team was professional, caring, efficient, and elite. Jo Ann knows all of the top vendors and was able to connect me with the exact professional to suit my needs. The vendors Jo Ann recommends all are top notch and are exceptional are their craft. Additionally, the vendors have mostly worked together before and will work in unison so everything will coordinate between the different aspects of your wedding and brings everything together! They went above and beyond for our wedding. My veil ripped before the ceremony and they found super glue and climbed down on hands and knees to super glue it back together. Now THAT is exceptional service. I highly recommend Schwartz and Woodward for brides who want it done right!

I was recently at a wedding where this company was hired. The wedding was fabulous and the food…read moreyummy. There was so much thought and prep that went into the wedding that it was such a shame to witness the staff from this company act unprofessionally. The staff, an older couple, was rude and yelling at guests. the gentleman was irritated much of the evening at what is suppose to be a happy event. I witnessed children getting scolded for having fun, I got yelled at for taking a vase of flowers after the brides' family had told me to. The woman, I believe her name was JoAnne, was scolding guests for taking too many party favors and there were plenty left at the end of the night. Very unprofessional staff that didn't properly reflect the graciousness of the people throwing the event.

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!

Sandwiches were ok, fresh bread, a lot of bread. No labeling on the food inside for allergies. What does the sandwich contain? Special sauce was Honey Mustard, just label it honey mustard. The bag says cookies but you get cookie. The pasta salad was bland, it had Balsamic Vinaigrette, but no flavor. The cheese in the pasta was possibly vegan cheese, void of flavor and texture. Potato salad looked liked mashed potatoes. Work on your flavors and freshness.

You can tell he loves his job and he does everything he can to make your day perfect. He thinks of everything and has a great vision. His helpers on wedding day were also very nice and helpful. Him and his staff were very intuitive and responsive to our needs. I would 100% recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or other event. He really went far beyond what we expected and I really don't know how to thank him enough. Dewayne is so genuine we all loved him and appreciate everything he did for us.

From our first meeting, I felt confident that we could trust her to handle all of the details and she proved me right. She and her assistant really did an excellent job for us, coordinating all of the different vendors and making sure the wedding/reception ran smoothly. I couldn't have asked for anyone better -- they were super organized, hardworking, calm and genuinely nice to boot. Our vendors also told me that she was a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend Something Planned highly enough.

Maxit Flower Design is definitely one of the best wedding and event designers in Houston. However,…read morethey do have a strict by appointment only policy but are very quick to respond to emails.

She sent the first mock-up the…read moreday before our event, and when I requested changes, she acted as though she was doing me a favor, even though the changes were part of the paid scope. I asked for a call because I felt there may have been some miscommunication, but she told me to email her instead. Since it was the day before the event, I asked to speak with someone else on her team who was available, but that request was ignored. Unfortunately, there were several issues with our order, including incorrect vase colors, no fruit as shown in the approved mock-up, missing bud vases, and incorrect floral placement on the main photo moment. We also had to pay an additional $24 to add the bud vases that had been missed. As a business owner, I found that disappointing especially for such a small additional amount, as it was an oversight on her end rather than ours. After the event, I emailed to share my concerns and never received a response. Overall, it felt like our event was not taken as seriously as it should have been, and that was reflected in the final execution.

She worked with me early to make sure she had a good idea of how to coordinate my wedding. The week leading up to the wedding she quickly dealt with problematic last minute changes and remedied them quickly.

Desi weddings are not easy, and involves lots of people and events, she did all the research, looked into all the details and it was absolutely amazing!
