Altared Weddings & Events

iers over buffet & bar area, and Uplights on stage & around the reception hall. Everything looked AMAZING! I highly recommend using their lighting services because the team did an amazing job! Thank you so much! :)

e design, they swiftly setup the venue and Photo Booth. The lighting itself was breathtakingly beautiful that enhanced every corner of the ceremony and reception areas. Without a doubt, Altared's impeccable lighting played an integral role in making our special day truly unforgettable. Highly recommend that you consider Altared for your lighting and entertainment needs!

lighting - when we worked with them on the contract we told them the aesthetic we were looking for and our rough budget, and they made it happen. They were one of the first vendors to arrive on the wedding day, and didn't require any assistance or input on executing the plan, which made everything less stressful.

entire event would be held after the sunset. We didn't have the biggest budget to work with but Altared took incredible care of us. They knew what we'd be needing for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner and even were able to send me example pictures of the ideas they'd already used at previous events at our own venue. They nailed our goal of having a candlelit, romantic, elegant atmosphere and I can't recommend them highly enough.

f our questions promptly and professionally and made several quotes for us while we were figuring out what we needed for lighting. Installation was easy, and all of their equipment was in place before we arrived to our venue. Altared’s lighting absolutely made our dance floor experience so much more fun and memorable! Thank you, Altared!

and sent them a THOUSAND emails throughout the wedding planning process and they were always *so* incredibly patient with us and never made us feel rushed or pressured. We rented their gorgeous Moravian Stars for our reception tent and they looked absolutely STUNNING!!! We loved, loved, loved how sleek and unique they looked during the day and during the night…what can I say? They glowed so warmly and made the whole space so rich and cozy!! It was the perfect choice for our wedding and working with Altared was such a genuine joy. They are so reliable and lovely and we are so grateful to them.

g into this, but they were so patient and helpful every step of the way. Everything came out beautiful! The MirrorMe photobooth was a HUGE hit! Our guests loved it. We also received a digital copy of every photo so it's almost like having a photo guestbook. Scott made sure my husband and I took a photo before the end of the night, which I am so thankful for because we would have forgotten if he hadn't done that. I highly recommend Altared Weddings for any event :)

ad a small hiccup with the DJ but Shelly was quick to provide resolution. The mirror me photo booth was a big hit with our guests. DJ David really kept the party going. He was very helpful with some of our songs selection, especially with Vietnamese songs which is more difficult. Overall, super fun and successful party thanks to everyone at Altared Weddings.

edding day, some unforeseen infrastructure challenges came up that impeded the ability to hang chandeliers as planned. The Altared team worked with the venue to come up with a creative solution to make sure that upcoming events could have their beautiful lighting in place. Altared also allows couples to split rentals with people having events in the same weekend. They made the splitting process seamless and helped us save money while having the chandelier-adorned courtyard wedding of our dreams!

ares a lot about making your wedding perfect. They went our of their way to make sure it looked beautiful. The draping really added a lot to our space and made it look so soft and dreamy. I'm so thankful for them!

an absolute sweetheart on the phone, but understood my vision for lighting at my wedding. As soon as we got off of the phone, she emailed me with various sketches of what we had talked about and what she was thinking with her expertise. She also sent me photos of previous weddings they had used the lights/concepts we had discussed. Her and her team were prompt at answering my questions, and getting back to me. The lighting at our wedding turned out to go above and beyond what we were expecting. I highly recommend working with them, not only on your lighting needs but any other services they offer.

string lights and up lights around the room. The pictures came out amazing, and I can’t thank them enough for their work!!

finalize the details of the music for the cocktail hour and reception since we just weren't able to get together (I teach and my husband's in the Oilfield.) We pretty much just gave him the reigns since he had pre-made mixes that went along with our taste and plenty of questions for the shoe game, making it that much easier on us and we could not have been happier. Recommend 100%.

ng really added such a special touch for all of our night photos! Thank y'all!

ion of both. They reached out to us in the weeks/days leading up to the wedding to make sure we were all good, and answered our questions quickly. DJ Mikka was INCREDIBLE. We gave him our music list and he managed to play every one of our favorite songs in a way that flowed well and kept the good vibes rolling all night. The dancefloor was never empty. He was professional, responsive, fun and kind. I highly highly recommend him for your DJ needs!! We also opted for the mirror photo booth which was a GREAT call. We were worried about keeping the few kids at our wedding entertained, and this definitely did the trick. The adults loved it too! I'd give 10 stars if I could.

showed up on time and completed everything to our expectations. DJ Andrew was awesome and made the reception a hit for everyone! I would highly recommend using Shelly and the team at Altared for your wedding needs. They handle it all and do it so well!

re willing to come out to the venue beforehand to brainstorm different options that could work best for us.

ecessary equipment inside for a great dance party. Thanks guys!

gouged us (as a number of others tried to do) when we were desperate, but she didn't. The lighting was gorgeous (no photos back yet to show you!). We could not have gotten luckier.

any other explanation). However, Altared Weddings was great at handling this situation and were able to find a DJ we had requested (Bilingual - English/Spanish). The stress from our original DJ dropping out days before the wedding was painful, but thankfully, Altared Weddings was able to fill his spot with such short notice.

udget. And when COVID schedule changes left me without linens or a display for my seating chart, Shelly said "I can do that!" and showed up with beautiful ivory linens and the perfect copper stand for me. Reasonable prices, wonderful & reliable people -- can't beat either of those descriptions in a wedding vendor. Please reach out to Altared for your wedding! You won't be disappointed.

ery quick to respond (which is so valuable during wedding planning) and truly are invested in making your wedding the best day ever. Their team was available to meet at the venue upon my request and patiently talked through multiple options for my wedding ceremony lighting set up. The ceremony on the day of ended up being rained out - BUT their team was determined to use what we had to make the ceremony inside as beautiful as it could be. Let me tell you - my ceremony/reception spaced was so, so beautiful!!!! If you are a Bride looking for a vendor who puts their heart and soul into this wedding industry - contact Altared Weddings & Events! Shelly and Scott were a pleasure to work with!

- executed the ceremony music we provided beautifully and selected great choices for the dinner and dancing afterward. Everyone had a great time!

d out the strings on the grass until they were just the way I wanted them. He hung them from tree to tree instead of the poles, per my request. He also helped us move a heavy speaker just because he was a very nice, kind, friendly person (Galen?). I did not realize I needed to be there to oversee the job, but Shelly coordinated with me that morning and the technician arrived early so that we were able to meet. I certainly recommend being there to give input and get things just as you like them. We also needed a particular size of table and Altared Events was able to provide it. Shelly was wonderful to work with, very responsive and patient during challenging times. I would definitely use Altared Events again in the future.

e don't dance and had low expectations since we were doing a brunch wedding/afternoon reception. Wow was I surprised! DJ Andrew Brown had the crowd dancing in the middle of the afternoon! Incredibly impressed and so thankful we were fortunate to work with them for our wedding. Definitely recommend!

ner, Shelly Cole, worked with us. They refuse to give us our deposit back, our venue was closed due to COVID-19. We hired Altared Weddings' sister company (same owner), Short & Sweet Weddings for officiating services and asked for the Altared Weddings deposit to be applied to pay the remaining officiating services balance. Instead they said NO, you have to hire officiating services through Altared Weddings and pay higher rate of $400, instead of respecting the Short & Sweet Weddings rate of $250. Mind you this is the same owner. Who does this, specially during times like these?!? We have asked our very popular Austin, TX wedding venue to take Altared Weddings & Events off of their recommended venue list.

.20 across two payments. By March 17th, 2020 it became clear that state and local laws in Texas were going to render our wedding illegal as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic and we notified all of our vendors and guests to that end in order to reduce real losses and inconveniences as early as we could. We reached out to try to gather refunds from all of our vendors whom we had already prepaid for services, since they were no longer legally able to deliver them under the crowd size, travel, essential business, and other COVID-related emergency regulations. Altared Events responded to our inquiry first by letting us know that they had spoken to their lawyer, and they had determined that it was fair to treat this disaster as a voluntary cancellation on our part. They went on to explain how since their contract doesn’t include a force majeure clause, they don’t have an obligation to refund us anything – but out of the goodness of their hearts (I presume,) they offered to refund us $519.60, half of what we had paid them, via check, with no timeframe for when we could expect it. We were outraged, to say the least, that they tried to spin this disaster as a voluntary cancellation on our part – nothing could be further from the truth. We desperately wanted to move forward with our wedding. And greeting us with a reply from _their lawyer_ as the first response? We already felt devastated over the loss of our wedding – Shelly from Altared Events made us feel totally dehumanized with her response. I can’t begin to tell you how devastated we are – we’re not going to try to reschedule a 96-person wedding because let’s face it, as of writing this we aren’t even legally allowed to have more than 10 in one location. We don’t know what the future holds. My husband and I are going to elope and start our family plan as soon as possible – since there’s no foreseeable way to reschedule a large event of any kind in this environment. Other vendors refunded us most of what we’d paid them, unprompted, and never insulted us by spinning this disaster as a voluntarily cancellation or rationalizing with their contract we they should walk away with thousands of our dollars for a service they couldn’t perform. In the case of Altared Events, we had to engage in a credit card chargeback with them – and even after they said they weren’t going to fight us for the balance they went ahead and fought the credit card chargeback anyway. We were devastated by the COVID19 pandemic and the emergency measures our government has taken to combat it ruining our wedding – we’re extremely disappointed and upset with wedding vendors like Altared Events who have chosen to spin this as a voluntary cancellation and insist on keeping money for services they know they couldn’t deliver because of those very same laws. Shame on them. I’d never recommend doing business with Altared Weddings & Events in the Hill Country or Austin area. NOTE: we’ll update our review as our dispute with Altared Events evolves, hopefully, towards an amicable resolution.

ver attended. Thank u guys for being a part of this special day.

ur money, we felt despondent and panicked. Luckily, my wife's parents jumped in and helped us in securing Altared weddings to jump in. DJ Mikka from our first conversation to our walk-off firework send off was in my mind, the finest and nicest dude and best DJ I've ever had the pleasure to know. He was so easy to work with. Absurdly flexible regarding last minute requests. He made it so easy, sending our playlist, or 'journey' as he called it and editing it w/ the exact songs we wanted. He also threw in a few amazing songs as well. He did not stress at all w/ any changes, and instead brought an energy of pure joy and familiarity. I really can't rave enough about Mikka. The music sounded great, and he was a fantastic MC. The lights were flawless. He kept everyone dancing. You can't ask for more. Don't be like us and waste time hiring an unreliable and unprofessional DJ , instead book Altared DJs ASAP, and ask for Mikka;)

ough at our venue and was so attentive!! We hired a mirror me booth set up and they gave us a guest photo book to take home after and it’s one of my cherished gifts. Andrew was by far the BEST DJ we could have hoped for!! He was so accommodating and even took the time to text and take some phone calls with me and execute all of my fiancé’s and my weird requests!! He had such a great and upbeat personality and vibe, everything was played on time and to a T what we envisioned!! We feel like we are so lucky!! We also got chandeliers for our tent through their company and they really tied the look together! On the dance floor all the lighting was exactly what we wanted, and we got props from them for guests to dance with and everyone loved them!! I think I danced with a prop taco and light in my hand for half the night 😂 I am overjoyed, music and lights were something that was so important to us and it was PERFECT! Thank you Andrew, and thank you Altared Events and the team and Mirror Me crew for making our wedding spectacular! ❤️ Kate and Matt

e we had during our wedding.

ils and make sure they provided exactly what we wanted. The Amber uplighting was perfect in our venue. The string quartet played everything we wanted - even learning numerous special requests. DJ David kept everyone dancing and having a great time!

David was AMAZING. He played our chosen songs and other great ones that went with the vibe. He MC'd the night in a seamless and fun way and was always great with communication during the process. Shelly manned the photobooth and was so sweet! I'm so happy she pulled us away at the end of the night to make sure we got a picture for our photobook she created. I will definitely be using Altared for future events and recommending them to everyone I know.

mended.

d moment, it was a blast! We also used AWE for uplighting and yard games. The musicians for our ceremony were lovely as well. My day would not have been as perfect without Altered and for that I am so thankful!

going. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ.

an awesome job of keeping the party going and was super easy to work with! We had a call with him to get to know each other prior to the wedding and then used the portal to confirm all our songs. He followed it perfectly and kept the dance floor full! We highly recommend him and this company!

ays had mine and the brides best interest in mind when people requested songs.
