3 of Cups Weddings + Events

we really wanted to feel like we were getting the biggest bang for our buck. I feel like we accomplished all of these things and so much more! 3 of Cups was instrumental in ensuring that we chose vendors that provided high quality services at affordable prices -- from the food, to the DJ, to the rentals, to the lighting, we truly had the best quality without breaking the bank. Jess from 3 of Cups also did a wonderful job guiding us through the planning process and making sure we thought about all of the little details. On the day of the wedding, she was a breath of fresh air amidst the inevitable nerves. Jess is fun, easygoing, stylish, personable, and organized. She has become one of our closest friends. We absolutely loved our wedding day and wouldn't have changed a thing. I can't recommend the 3 of Cups team more!

beautiful. Moya and her team are super sweet and helpful. I totally recommend Springdale Station for any type of event. I was not sure if we should hire a coordinator because we were trying to be mindful of our budget but, I can honestly say, this is one of the MOST important and valuable items you MUST get for your wedding. 1- husband 2- dress 3- Coordinator. 4- venue and food/alcohol 5- Etc. We realized this during the very first meeting with Jessica. Even before hiring her, we met one day just to get to know each other, Matt and I said: YES this is happening, she is a total Badass Boss who will get stuff done and done nicely, beautifully, always with her contagious smile and positive attitude. When you meet with her she does not waste time, she means business and she makes it fun. We hated every second of our planning until we met her. Her experience showed through immediately. she’s always 5 steps ahead of you. If you’re missing any vendors (doesn’t matter what for) don’t you worry, She has them all! She’s quick, responsive and again, super positive so if you’re frustrated or overwhelmed she will make it super simple for you to follow through the process. Our wedding day was honestly the happiest day of my life. It was soooooo easy. I really have no idea of what happened behind the scenes. If there were any issues She was on it. Most of which I’m still not aware of(omg, thank you). I had the most easy and exciting day/event in my life. That’s all because of Jessica. I’m sure there was stuff going on but I had no idea. She really is the best. On top of it, Handling an event and not look like you’re freaking out is hard....... well, not for her, She looked like she was having fun which is AMAZING. I can not recommend 3 of cups more. I love you Jessica! You are a huge part of the best day of my life and I/We thank you for it!

Jessica. We also loved Ash, her assistant. The day-of, they were both incredibly kind and everything ran super smoothly. Jessica's husband, George, is also just wonderful, and he was our sound designer through the whole evening. We chose the "1 of Cups" package, which included 6 hours of meeting time with Jessica before the actual event -- this is where we really discussed our vision and Jessica helped us put all the pieces together, from connecting us with vendors she thought would match our style (like Stephanie Rogers Photograpahy <3 <3 <3), to figuring out the timing of all the parts of the wedding day, to the smallest of of details, like what kind of linens we would need for the tables the venue had and what our plan B was if it happened to rain the day-of (it didn't, but it would have been fine if it did!) I should also mention that the venue walk-through (included in all of Jess's packages) is amazing. That is, she really sees the flow of the evening, and offers such valuable feedback in terms of where to place things (like the dessert area) , where people should go for cocktail hour and the like, and also where you will literally tie the knot! A lot of venues have many different options for everything, and Jessica will definitely give you tips and direction as you are figuring the details. I am *very* thankful she recommended doing a sweetheart table during dinner, so that my hubby and I actually got some time to sit down, get a bite, and take in all our amazing friends and family who had come out to celebrate with us. Another essential thing is that Jess helps to manage your vendors. That is, she knows their contracts and checks in with them to know what they are responsible for during the event. That way, every vendor has a point-person and at the end of your big day, you know who is cleaning up and leaving the venue spick and span! Besides being so dang good at giving us the info we needed to make our stylistic decisions for the day, Jess was also great when we just needed to talk something over (like when I was trying to figure out when exactly we were going to fit playing a Russian wedding game that my mom really really wanted us to play into the busy evening, haha). Jessica's planning spreadsheets (which we completed between our meetings with her) kept us on track, her communication was always timely, and she is just a joy to be around! She chilled with us and our family and friends at the rehearsal dinner and we sincerely enjoyed her presence. I would highly recommend working with Jess and her team!

Both my partner and I were looking to have as low-stress an experience as possible. Jessica helped us stay organized, provided help on a lot of the messy detail work (like layouts and linen sizes), and went the extra mile on the day of to make sure that I didn't have to think about any of the details on my wedding day. We had 3 pre-wedding prep sessions with Jessica, which helped me think about details I didn't know to think about, make sure all contract requirements were met for our vendors, and carved out some time for my partner and I to spend together on the day of. Jessica's assistant, Lee, was also great to work with on the day of. She made me feel special and cared for a lot of our personal needs (getting snacks/drinks, holding things, telling us where to stand), which I so appreciated. I would, without a doubt, recommend 3 of Cups!

t phone call, I felt like I was in good hands; Jessica is knowledgeable, organized, and a calming presence. After meeting us, Jessica made sure to understand not just what we wanted for the wedding, but also how we are as individuals and made suggestions accordingly. She brought up items for us to consider and look into that we never even knew we needed. Additionally, I am beyond impressed with her network and relationships with other vendors in the area. She had worked with nearly everyone we hired, and on top of that, her referrals to other vendors we needed were spot-on. On the day of, Jessica and her partner Dasha were incredible -- if anything went wrong during our day, I have no idea what it was, but I know that it seemed perfect. 3 of Cups was absolutely a game changer for our wedding, and I know that it would not have been as smooth, stress-free, or perfect without them.

event. 3 of Cups was recommended by a friend and, looking back, we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Jessica was fantastic at making sense of all our chaotic and sometimes crazy ideas in our initial meetings. We were given a Google planning document that had everything we needed to organize everything from the guest list to the vendors. And speaking of vendors, I can’t emphasize enough how valuable 3 of Cups was in this department. In addition to the wedding itself, we planned a separate welcome party the night before. Although this wasn’t really part of the deal, Jessica’s suggestions for catering companies proved to be a perfect fit. 3 of Cups is very well-connected in the Austin scene and has a plethora of excellent choices for vendors. Her guidance and planning were absolutely crucial to the success of the entire weekend. We could not have done It without her! We chose Star Hill Ranch as our venue and couldn’t be happier with that choice. The owner, Matt Wooley was more than helpful and ended up saving us a good amount of money which allowed us to put more into areas that we felt were important. Between 3 of Cups and the staff at Star Hill Ranch, we felt confident that we were well taken care of and were going to have a wonderful weekend. We had initially decided to use Star Hill’s on-site coordinator for the “day of” events but later decided to have 3 of Cups there too. However, by then Jessica was already booked elsewhere. Luckily she was able to send Sioux, one of the 3 of Cups staff members in her stead. Sioux did a fantastic job making sure everything went perfect during the wedding and reception. She was also very pleasant and had a really good time which showed to me her ability to coordinate a rather complex and detailed event with ease. I would HIGHLY recommend both 3 of Cups and Star Hill Ranch for your next wedding or event. Both are not only top notch professionals, they’re also just “good people”.

et was something for us to be mindful of throughout planning. Jessica was able to point us in the direction of some amazing vendors within our price range that she had already had positive experiences working with in the pasy. We felt like we were so supportive and understood after all three of our (extremely productive!) pre-wedding meetings. Aside from obviously helping us with day-of details (i.e., schedule, vendors, decor), Jessica also helped put my anxiety at ease whenever I got stressed out by the wonderful world of wedding planning/drama. On our actual wedding day, my husband and I were both blown away by how smoothly everything went and how well Jessica and her assistant kept the show running. It was wild watching this insanely detailed Google doc we had created with 3 of Cups come to life. We also utilized 3 of Cups sound engineering services and it was amazing. We were able to plan our own playlists for the entire wedding, which was something that was important to me from the very beginning, and George (the sound engineer and Jessica's husband) did a great job at making everything sound seamless and sticking to our musical taste there were gaps to fill. He was also super sweet and professional, which came as no surprise after working with Jessica. Overall, we could not be happier with 3 of Cups and would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married in the Austin area. Honestly, I'm eager for any of my Austin friends to get engaged just so I can recommend 3 of Cups.

n the unexpected (yet expected) wedding drama and we were forced to change venues a few months before our big day and one of the requirements of our new venue was that we have an official event planner or day of coordinator on-site the day of. After reaching out to several different coordinators I instantly knew 3 of Cups would be our pick the moment I saw Jessica’s smiling face on their website. During our first meeting, I cried a lot (wedding drama) and she listened to me with compassion and immediately began offering solutions & support. It was important to me that I had control of the design, details & overall planning of our wedding. It was an experience that I wanted to have and lessons that I wanted to learn, both the easy & the hard way. Jessica let me do my thing, right up to the point where I needed help. And she was there, again, with solutions. Most importantly, she was patient and kind with me while I struggled to find the point where I needed to ask for help. I was given contact information for several different vendors that were a dream to work with, all of them close with the team at 3 of Cups, all of them professional, willing to accommodate our slightly non-traditional ideas & incredibly skilled at their craft. On the day of, I stepped back and was truly given the opportunity to be present in the moment with our friends & family. I had confidence in the communication we’ve had from all of our meetings, walk throughs, the rehearsal and every detail was perfect. And when I threw a few curve balls on a whim into the timeline, Sioux & Kaitlyn went with the flow. What was most important to us is that we felt heard, supported & that these ladies truly cared about the experience that we had. They worked HARD and it showed by how Doug & I had no care in the world other than the dance floor!

astic, but special mention must go to Jessica; far and away. Whether it was rescheduling at the last minute, keeping us organized in the scramble of the final two weeks, or ensuring a flawless event on the day itself, Jessica handled everything with skill and grace. Even when our officiant was caught in horrible traffic, Jessica rose to the occasion and did such a good job as the speaker and officiant that no one noticed the difference. We are truly indebted to Jessica and 3 of Cups for making our wedding into one of the best days of our lives.

ful perfect day and we didn’t have to stress about a thing. Hire her and her team you won’t regret it!

s. We felt sure that she would do a great job on our wedding day. We were married at Allan House, which was great. Jessica made sure everything went smoothly. Koley who was Jessica's partner on flowers was exceptional. We did not worry about anything concerning logistics that day. We were able to fully enjoy our day. Another added benefit about Jessica is that she networks very well and knows who to utilize for services. She even saved us money. Jessica is exceptional. I would recommend her to my best friend.

wedding. That doc became the definitive source for us going forward and was a great framework to work from. We felt like we were on the same wavelength as she is from day 1! We chose to do most of the planning ourselves, but met up with Jessica several times to fill her in on our progress and ask questions. Each time, she helped us think through new details or iron out parts of the day we weren't sure about. She has a great eye for detail, she knew our wedding venue well (Umlauf Sculpture Garden), and she was able to recommend other vendors that matched our style and price range. Most of all, I liked the fact that Jessica was always willing to take our ideas and run with them - I never felt like she was trying to push us into her idea of a perfect wedding - and as she got to know us, she helped us brainstorm new ways of doing things that we hadn't thought of. Our wedding exceeded our expectations, and we had high expectations to begin with! We felt that Jessica's coordination on the day-of was 100% essential to it going as well as it did. The timing and pacing was perfect, she made sure my now-husband and I were fed and taken care of, and she was a pro at wrangling family members in a nice-but-firm way so that everything went according to plan. I would recommend Jessica to any of my friends who are planning a wedding. Hiring her was definitely one of the best investments we made!

ped or planned for. We definitely recommend working with her! We also worked with Coley for our flowers, and she did an AMAZING job. Everything looked beautiful and she was really helpful in finding ways to minimize our costs as well. 100% would recommend working with her as well!!

e while she guided us through the details. She is extremely professional while still being warm and making you feel like family. I know a lot of people say to skip a wedding coordinator to save money, but she helped us remain sane throughout a stressful time and we consider her services well worth the (fairly priced) cost. Her connections helped us hire an amazing photographer, caterer, bar service, and furniture rental company. Once you meet her, you'll want her to help you plan your wedding/event!

enough for sharing her skills and talents with us on our big day. I wish I could post pictures as part of my review just so you could see how wonderful everything was. Just have to say one more thing-Coley is just an outstanding person overall. When I first met with her in person, I was dealing with some health issues that was taking my attention emotionally during our meeting. She was just so pleasant and understanding. I left that meeting feeling so comfortable and knew I could trust her. That offered so much relief for me during that trying time. Doesn’t stop there though-she came out of pregnancy bed rest to set up our wedding bc she wanted to make sure it was what I wanted. I can’t thank her enough. So Coley- keep doing what you’re doing and keep sharing that beautiful gift and smile of yours!!!!!

I work at a tech start-up, which often requires late nights and travel for conference and speaking sessions. Jess was so insanely flexible with us in timing our meetings, as well as so helpful in level setting our expectations on vendor costs (and fighting for us!), and recommending vendors where we didn’t already have expectations. Jess has also seemingly worked with *everyone* in the industry in Austin, and is so well connected. As a result, she knows exactly how folks work, how to breeze through contracts and find any holes, and can quickly envision exactly what the day will look like and how it will flow. We’ve gotten SO many comments from friends and family about the wedding — how beautiful it was, how fun it was, how eaassyyyy it was. It was our vision, but Jess made it come to life and not on an insanely high budget. Thank you thank you thank youuuu for everything, Jess. It’s our absolutely favorite day of our lives so far, and you were critical in it coming to life. If you need help, guidance, ideas, whateverrrr - Jess is your girl. Don’t even think twice. She’ll keep you organized. She’ll keep the vendors organized. She’ll even keep family organized. And, she’ll become a friend throughout the process. All the possible wins!

un smoother, but also to help with recommendations on vendors in the area. When looking for a wedding coordinator, we were looking for someone with lots of experience (especially at our venue), someone we got along with on a personal level, someone with vendor recommendations, and someone who understood the vision that we were aiming for with our wedding. Selecting 3 Of Cups/Jessica Ryan was easily one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Jessica brings a lot of experience with venues and vendors. She completely understood what we were picturing for the wedding, and had cool ideas on how to implement it. To top it off, she was personable, funny, nice, and overall an awesome person. Personally, I knew that I wanted to be involved in every aspect of the planning process, and not only was she understanding of that, she also made it happen! UMLAUF is primarily a garden, so fitting it to accommodate a wedding was challenging, but the absolute beauty of the venue made it all worth it. Jessica understood our vision for the wedding, and was eager to help us solve all of the unique problems it presented. She was knowledgeable of the venue but also had fresh, new ideas instead of repeats of previous clients. Leading up to the wedding, we met several times (via phone calls) to talk about every aspect of the wedding. I was so thankful for these meetings because she remembered every little detail—many things that I would have forgotten if it was not for her. She had great planning tools that covered everything—it was amazing! The day of the wedding was so smooth. The wedding party arrived to the venue early for pictures before the sunset, and her team was busy setting everything up. When I walked down the aisle and saw the finished product, I was amazed. Everything was more beautiful than I could have imagined. She handled everything with ease and really helped calm my nerves. I felt complete trust in her that she would and could handle anything that came up—AND SHE DID! After the wedding, she gave me feedback on vendors so I could accurately write reviews (via email), her team packed up everything, and returned the venue back to its original setting. We could not have picked a better person, and I would definitely recommend 3 Of Cups to anyone looking for a wedding planner or coordinator. Thank you so much!!

ordinator to handle it all when it goes down. Every meeting we had was both fun and valuable, and Jessica really listens to what you and your fiance are hoping to achieve at your wedding and helps you do just that. The 3 of Cups team will think of, plan for, and handle things before they even occur to you or happen. In our case, the day of coordinator was Mo McEneaney and she is a professional angel. Multiple guests took the time to let me know later how amazing our coordinator was, and I say later, because the during the wedding, I was totally swept up in the event and didn't need to worry because Mo was so on top of things. For example, at one point it looked like we were going to run out of tonic so Mo let us know, grabbed my purse for me so I could give the bartender my card, and then while I was mid-chat with someone she swept by and took my purse off my shoulder to bring it back and store it safely without saying a word. This small gesture was much appreciated and so thoughtful because walking across the room as the bride would have taken me a million years talking to guests. Everyone told me that something would go wrong during the wedding, and I didn't really believe them. In fact, multiple things went wrong on our wedding day (some of them big),but due to the amazing work that 3 of Cups put in leading up to and during the wedding it all worked out! We got married, and both us and our guests all had a blast! If you're planning an event I highly recommend working with 3 of Cups!

for life. Loved her!!

nization. When our wedding venue flooded and closed one month before our wedding, she worked non-stop to help us find a new venue! Our wedding would not have been as successful, fun and beautiful without Jessica's amazing work! I highly recommend working with her!

m from Houston, he’s from the Bay Area, but we wanted to have a central destination where all of our beloved friends and family could meet us for the celebration of the year. Our wishlist was simple: laid back, good vibes. With 3 of Cups Weddings + Events, we got that and more! We ended up booking our photographers first during the early phases of wedding planning. They are a talented dynamic husband / wife duo that had years of experience working with tons of venues and planners in the Austin area. When we asked for recommendations for day-of- planners, Jessica Ryan from 3 of Cups came highly recommended per our style. They also provided a few others as alternatives, but when we connected with Jessica, we instantly knew she was our perfect match. From our first consultation, Jessica provided tons of recommendations for unique gems throughout Austin for our rehearsal dinner that we wouldn’t have discovered since we’re not from Austin. That was just for the rehearsal! For every detail in actually planning the wedding, we always felt like Jessica was our trusted partner and friend throughout the entire process. She was always mindful of our budget and always quick on her toes with additional suggestions. Our meetings never felt like work, they were always fun, productive, and filled with laughter. Perhaps my most grateful moment was when Jessica offered to meet with the majority of our vendors at our venue and conduct a site visit on our behalf a few months from our wedding. We always knew we were in good hands, but that alone, gave us so much comfort and confidence knowing that every plan — A, B, and C — had been carefully considered, and all we had to literally do was show up. When it came to the day before and the actual day, that’s exactly what we did. My husband and I like to tout that we’re super chill, but when it came to rehearsing the day before and getting ready on the actual day, you can’t help but feel butterflies and stress leading up to the moment you walk down the aisle. Nonetheless, whenever Jessica walked into the room to check on us, those nerves just melted away. I remember mentioning that I forgot to pack a coat in case it was chilly the next day (we got married in the fall), and Jessica brought her stylish, fur coat for me! Those personal touches are invaluable. For everyone planning now in the Austin area, my advice would be to NOT skip out on a planner and to book Jessica and her team. No matter how organized you are, or how many family members and friends offer to help out, the day flies by. You’ll need a professional by your side to make sure things run smoothly (and on time!) behind the scenes, and who can problem solve on your behalf so you, your partner, family and friends can truly enjoy the day. We will always cherish our day and are forever grateful to have found Jessica and gained a new friend along the way.

d! She is very sweet, supportive, and is absolutely someone you want by your side because she has a super chill vibe and will for sure help you feel less stressed (after all, stress is inevitable when it comes to planning and executing a wedding). On top of all that, Jessica is just a cool cat! We met with Jessica a few times in the months before the wedding (we chose a package that included a few meetings and day-of coordination) and she was really helpful in giving us advice, answering questions (we had a lot of questions lol), and structuring the timeline. She has such a positive attitude and it was just so fun to work with her! We also felt that her services were really affordable, especially by comparison to other wedding coordinators in the area. Mo was Jessica’s assistant for the day-of coordination and although we didn’t get to know her as well as Jessica, she was super kind and definitely worked very hard to make our wedding day run so smoothly! We highly recommend Jessica and 3 Of Cups :) Yay 3 Of Cups!!! <3 Anna and Andy

the answers. She helped so much! She encouraged me to think through the details, get them on paper and hand everything over to her. I knew I could trust her and she executed to perfection. She was also amazing with our families and made everyone feel welcomed. We are so grateful to have met her through this process!!!

the day we talked on the phone ( cause btw, we are from NYC and we did everything through distance) we felt the instant click. She actually cares about what you want and gives you the best advices based on YOUR vision. She recommended me the venue where we had our wedding and OMG!! That's how you know how good she is at her job cause that venue reflects exactly our personality and the idea of what we wanted. The day of the wedding,a LOT of things changed last minute because of the rain and believe me,there is nothing better that having a pro wedding coordinator that can handle everything that overcomes stress free. I was nervous cause started raining literally 5 min before the ceremony started ( outdoors ceremony) and she managed her whole team to move everything under the roof and then when rain stopped, moving everythimg outside again cause that's what we wanted! We wanted the ceremony outside and that's what she made happen no matter what!! Don't think twice about hiring Jessica, she is one of the best decisions you can make on your wedding day.

dreams! Her day of assistant was magnificent as well and helped us tremendously. Thanks for everything Jessica and team! Coley did a fabulous job on the flowers as well. She was a huge help to my wife during planning helping with everything and fulfilling her exact vision with a very reasonable cost.

iends who are currently planning weddings and our number one piece of advice has been to hire a great day-of-coordinator. It made all the difference for us. The time we spent with Jessica leading up to the wedding was also indispensable. Most of the vendors we hired were based on her recommendations and they were all great. She also helped us through all of the details that we didn't know we needed to think about. And we felt really confident the day of would go well because she was so involved leading up to the big day.

She understood and helped us better understand our vision and options as we went along. Jessica and her team helped us have what was honestly a perfect day. We couldn't have done it without them. Thank you so much!!!

ing! I felt like meeting with a friend who also happened to know how to plan the perfect wedding! At each meeting Jessica had a timeline for when we should have things done which really helped us stay on track. The spreadsheets she provided made it so easy to share information with her and to stay organized. She helped us navigate the crazy world of wedding planning and recommended vendors that worked the best for us and our vision. The actual wedding ran so smoothly. Her team made sure every last thing was taken care of and the only thing we had to do was party! When we had an issue with florals for our cake arriving on time, Jessica and her staff decorated the cake for us and it was stunning! They made me feel so comfortable and relaxed on what I expected to be a stressful day. Hiring 3 of Cups was the best thing we did for our wedding. I couldn’t recommend them more!!

veral vendors and was very professional. She also made she everything we discussed in advance was executed seamlessly during our special day. A round of applause for Jessica!!!

y for us. We received so many compliments from friends and family as they felt everything went smooth on the wedding day. Her team, we had hired, were unbelievable organized and communicated so very well. Five stars all around - Thank you Jessica - we will be spreading the word about 3 of Cups =)

perfect wedding. It's 100% worth it to have her as your coordinator for your wedding! Things went super smoothly and we had many compliments from our family and wedding party about how great Jessica was. She helped us work through issues with a difficult vendor and was very professional!

y vendors in town and knows the dos and don'ts of wedding planning in Austin better than anyone else. Best of all, she's fun. She won't stress you out and she certainly won't make the day about her agenda. She is the opposite of the horror stories you hear about over-controlling wedding planners and will handle everything while making you and your guests feel right at home. Wedding days do not have to be a chore, you are allowed to have fun just like everyone else! Do yourself a favor and hire her, take her advice, and enjoy your wedding day.

happen smoothly, even when things went wrong, we never had a clue because she handled it all. I would highly recommend her as a planner, you will not regret it and your day will be magic!

spreadsheet and she had awesome references for musicians and photographers. There were some unforeseen hiccups the day of the ceremony (best man forgot the rings, people were trying to sneak into Mayfield park after we had closed it for our ceremony, one of the parents didn’t show up on time...) but Jessica and her assistant Brian handled everything with speed and grace. She works so well under high stakes situations while exuding calmness. I am forever grateful we handed over the care of our wedding to her. I love you Jess!

d a very limited vision for our wedding and had lots of decisions to make.) DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!

raditions we didn't find useful of meaningful to us. Jessica really "got" us, and was able to match us with vendors who were on the same page. I honestly would've lost my mind a few times were it not for Jessica's patience and resourcefulness. Coley really came through on the perfect florals for our event, too. I can't recommend these gals enough. They are a perfect fit especially if you like to think outside the box in terms of tradition.
