Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Rachel as our Day of Coordinator for our September 2024 wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her. One of the first recommendations I make to someone getting married is to hire a coordinator for their wedding - and this is entirely because of our experience with Rachel. She prompted us on the right questions for things we never would have considered, and was a huge help in guiding us on the timeline of events. She executed everything with a cool confidence, and we received so many compliments on how fun the wedding was and how smooth the event went. Rachel made herself reachable to our close friends and family, and made sure that we got to enjoy our day and not be tied up in all the logistics. She was flexible, prompt, and wasn’t afraid to take charge of the situation. Highly recommend for your needs - big or small!

Hi, I'm Ally. I thrive on crafting beautiful events and honing in on the details that make each wedding truly one-of-a-kind. My goa is to ensure that every couple's special day is infused with their unique story, making their dreams come to life in the most magical way possible. My adventure in wedding planning began in 2022 and I've since had the priviledge of collaborating with many couples, transforming their visions into stunning realities.

Ally was without a doubt the most important piece to our wedding!! She was so important during the planning process and brought up so many good tips and tricks I would never have thought about. She gave us a perfect timeline to work from and allowed us to go about our day blissfully happy while keeping us on track with everything we had planned. We had a lot of moving parts on our day including lots of DIY decor, desserts, flowers as well as setting up a champagne tower and coordinating our guests here and there for our first dance on an outside dock - she made it all happen! She also coordinated everything with the vendors and took a huge load of the work off of me. I’m sure she put out a lot of fires we never even knew existed. She seamlessly set up the reception of my dreams and broke it all down following the reception. She quite honestly had our backs throughout the whole process and was so down to earth and extremely nice/fun/easy to work with! On top of it all, she took beautiful pictures and videos of the reception all set up as well as our first dances with our parents! None of our guests took videos of our dances and it would have been heartbreaking not to have them! She seriously thought of it all - do NOT hesitate to hire Jovial! We couldn’t have done it without her!!

Hi there. My name is Wendy, the owner and lead planner of Revel & Wonder Weddings. I have been planning large-scale events and theatre productions for over twenty years and, for the past ten years, have been exclusively planning awesome weddings for some amazing brides.

Leaving this review will never do justice to the incredible service that Wendy and her team provide. During the planning process Wendy assisted us with vendor selection, tracking payments, planning our budget, creating a timeline, and was a great resource for all the weird un-googleable questions we had (or never even thought of). Wendy is an expert in the market and her familiarity and experience with hundreds of vendors is a service you can’t put a price on. I would pay for Wendy’s service 100x over just for how helpful it was to have her help us plan everything, but her team SHINED on our wedding day. Hiring Wendy to coordinate our wedding day was the greatest gift we could have given ourselves and our families. Everyone had the privilege of feeling like guests of honor while Wendy’s team seamlessly ran the show. For us and our parents, it truly got to be a stress-free day focused on family while Wendy’s team handled all the vendor coordination, execution of the timeline, and logistics from setting up the decor at our venue, being the point of contact for vendors, and the best part - having my parents’ car fully loaded at the end of the night so no one was rushing around picking up or taking an early morning trip back to the venue. Make your wedding day about YOU and let Wendy and her team handle the logistics - it will be the greatest thing you do for yourself and your family.

Working with Brooklyn Rain Brides was an incredible experience! Finding Brooklyn felt like fate! She was everything we needed in a planner. My husband and I decided on having a small wedding in a short amount of time and it was better than I ever imagined due to Brooklyns' help! The planning stage was organized, productive and so much fun. I felt like I was chatting with a good friend during our meetings. The moment Brooklyn arrived to the venue on our wedding day, all of my stress vanished. She took my cell phone and really took charge! I was able to finally unwind and really be present with my now husband. She designed a gorgeous sweet heart table and flower arrangements for our reception. Brooklyn made sure that we, the Bride and Groom, were well looked after during the very busy day. From our very first interaction, Brooklyns' communication was organized, calming, and positive. We cannot recommend her team highly enough! *Brooklyn came up with the idea to take photos in the elevator and those are by far my favorite photos in our wedding album!

Hey, I’m Nae - the woman behind The Brown Sugar Experience. I plan weddings that feel like you - not like a checklist. I bring structure, soul, and calm to the chaos so your big day stays joyful and stress-free. Whether it’s a backyard moment or a full wedding weekend, I show up with love, culture, and clarity. I’m based in Austin and travel nationwide. Just know: the starting rate is for weddings within 60 miles of Austin. If you’re outside of that, travel fees apply. Out-of-state? I’ll need to factor in flights, but I promise - I’m worth the trip.

The Brown Sugar Experience helped put together decorations, the decorated the reception hall, and did day of coordination. The care and attention to detail to make sure our say went smoothly & I didn’t have to think about it is something I will remember forever! They treated our special day as if it were their own. Couldn’t recommend more!
