    The Artful Bachelorette - Our charming shirtless server on pencil sharpening duty!

    Arts District, Downtown

    Attended a yelp elite event with this group and it was so much fun! I'm not sure how the pricing…read morestructure works, or if wine and cheese is *normally* included, as these breakdowns weren't provided for us... however, it was a lot of fun either way! The experience included a topless server (male) for our party, an instructor and a nude model (also male). Something else that wasn't specified was if you had a female model if you would also have a female server? So not sure on that. I would guess she would be in a bikini or bra top as no nude photography is allowed and they walk around during the entirety of the event serving drinks and handing out pencils as needed. This would be a fun event to celebrate bachelorette parties (obviously), but you could also utilize their services for any type of gathering. I can so see a ladies night in with my friends doing this, but she also mentioned divorce parties (in which case can we have a group of male models I'll take 5 thank u), birthdays for the artsy friend, baby shower because clearly they've seen someone nude and nobody likes baby shower games (she didn't say that but I couldn't resist).... anyways, I digress. The only thing I wish I'd had more of was explanation. Some of them felt kind of rushed and I had no idea how to shade which was detrimental to my artistry (jk my hands are detrimental to my artistry more than anything else)... Would definitely do this again!

    Absolutely the highlight of my bachelorette weekend!!!! We had the artists & models come to our…read morehouse - and upgraded to include a charming shirtless server. These guys absolutely delivered!!! We loved the drawing games, not having to worry about making our own drinks, and our models were funny and professional. They even made the bride a little booklet of our favorite drawings at the end of the night. 10/10, would high recommend for a birthday or bach!!

    I waited to write this, but since our wedding my review has only gotten worse by her lack of any…read moreaccountability & care. Bride-to-Bride I have to urge to stay away. I don't want this for another bride. When my mom & I met Julia at her office, everything seemed to be going well - I was really happy w/ her. I told her I was overwhelmed choosing HAMU for me & the BMs - she said "I do this for a living, I will send you who to use." I never received anything. I found the HAMU on my own & she never followed up to even confirm I booked HAMU, she didn't care to ask. It seemed like she had her own agenda to have us get things that would just look good for her portfolio. ~ 2 months into working w/ her I told her we want a party bus w/ the wedding party to leave & she told me to get an old Rolls Royce, I said that isn't our style & this is what we want. 2 days later she went to my mom saying she thinks we want the car - She didn't care what we wanted. ~ 1 Week before - we were working w/ the band coordinator (BC), Julia was very adamant about her timeline, which is completely understandable. I simply wanted to clarify that it will be okay if we go off the timeline a tiny bit. I emailed her saying after the grand entrance, we'd have our first dance, father daughter, mother son, & welcome speech - all I said was that we don't need EXACT times after each, if a speech runs over it's ok - we have to be flexible. I told her the timeline was GREAT but things happen so to prepare to be flexible. After this I had no trust - 3 days before the wedding our GMs flights got canceled & I was working on getting new flights, I also was taking the programs to print & she asked to have a call - I texted her what happened, & how overwhelmed/stressed I was & I would call her when I could - all she said was "oh my" not "what can I take off your plate & help?" I THEN get contacted by the BC, that she had told them to throw out the entire timeline, that we didn't want it, & she didn't know if we wanted speeches/dances & she was "waiting for me to have time for her". I had so much to do with no help from her. The BC then called me & I clarified. Julia turned it & apologized to me for the BC getting confused We were late to rehearsal, & she didn't introduce herself to the wedding party while they waited - they thought she was a parishioner praying for the first 20 min they were there. Later, she introduces herself to me. I met her in person - she really didn't remember meeting the bride? She asks if I want to say hi and points to her bag - she had her dog the whole time in the Church. How is that appropriate? Day of, she wasn't setting up until after 2, so my mom was there. I don't have getting ready pictures w/ my mom, something I can't get back because she was doing Julia's job. Julia never asked if we needed anything, she didn't talk to me the day of until it was time to go down the aisle. She just walked past me. I hate leaving a bad review, I know people have off days - which is why we emailed her first. She tried to turn it & make excuses or said "Idk what to tell you", or issues about her personal life, even implying she was a widow which she isn't. She discussed her financial struggle, & made it so personal - this is a business not a friendship - all this shows she doesn't know customer service or business. An apology would have gone a long way. I almost didn't write this but our entire WP told me I had to so this doesn't happen to someone else.

    Julia has a distinct palate that creates exquisite entrees. She has catered multiple events for me…read moreand my clients. There seems to be a trend where my clients appreciate the food more than my services!? Working with people who are excellence at what they do and who share their excellence through service is a privilege and pleasure. I highly recommend Julia's food and fantastic attention to detail. I'm praying that my services catch up to become as savory as the food!

She will also over charge you. She will get vendors whose starting out and doesn't charge as much as one with lots of experience and Stacey will up charge $50 for her.

    Stacey was my wedding planner for our wedding. To say that my wedding was amazing would be an…read moreunderstatement. As the bride and someone that wanted to focus on my guests while they were in town, I knew it was critical to hire the right person so we could keep our attention on our guests. While planning my own wedding, I realized very quickly that I needed assistance to pull off the kind of wedding we wanted. We had a shorter engagement (7 months) and by the time that I found Elegance by Stacey Allen, there were only 4-5 months left until our wedding date. I found Stacey through her website and after the consultation, I immediately I wanted to hire her for the reception part of our event. Through her previous events, I knew that she had the style and experience to pull off the wedding reception we were hoping to create for our family and friends. Stacey was available for phone calls, even during non-daytime hours, so we could discuss details. I provided pictures and we discussed small details. She clearly told me that some of my ideas, if I wanted to implement, would cost additional, which I was willing to pay for. She worked with us on budget and provided excellent ideas/workarounds for what I wanted to do. We got our linens, glassware, chivari chairs, etc from her vendors. She even worked with our florist, whom I was already under contract with, to rearrange the bouquets. We got married at a church and then held our reception offsite in downtown McKinney at the Surrey House. She handled everything. She was an angel! She took some much pressure off of my shoulders, which is exactly what you want as the bride. It is amazing to come across people that you work with that can allow you to enjoy your special day because you know that she has it. She is pro! Oh, I should add that Stacey is an extraordinarily skilled chef too. It's like a two in one (wedding designer/planner and chef). She helped me create the menu with the Surrey House and because of her amazing palate, even helped prepare the food to give it that additional flair. She got it done. My husband still talks about the goat cheese stuffed chicken from our wedding - being the typical bride, I only got to enjoy a quick bite or two. LOL Before the wedding, we did a walkthrough of the linens, how the table would look, etc. You would have to see my photographer's photos to see how amazing and romantic the room was (I will see if I can post them here). She added long flowy curtains (not sure what they are called) to add ambience to the room. The room felt magical and ethereal. Our mock run was nothing to compared to seeing the reception room so magically decorated. She helped me create the dream wedding that I wanted. She is amazing to work with, her style and creativity are out of this world, and I am so forever thankful that she worked with us. Can't recommend her enough!
