Bluebonnet Events

g planner, so eventually I caved. I am so thankful I did. I could not have done it on my own - even with my whole family helping. IF YOU'RE ON THE FENCE ABOUT GETTING A WEDDING PLANNER PLEASE DO. It makes all the difference. Amanda was able to provide us with a comprehensive list of phenomenal vendors (all of whom we were happy with) and rolled with it when my husband and I's vision for the wedding changed more than once. Amanda made everything flow smoothly. When it comes to planning a wedding, there are a lot of small details that are easy to overlook (ice, extension cords, etc.) - Amanda knows what needs to happen and takes care of it. Life throws curve balls, and there's always something that goes wrong on the wedding day. For us, there was a major wind storm that damaged the reception tent. We got married in mid-December, so without the tent, guests would be standing in the freezing rain all night. Had I planned it myself, that's what would have happened. However, because of Bluebonnet Events, by the reception, the tent was not only as good as new, but decorated and heated. The best thing I can say about Bluebonnet Events, however, is that they made our vision come to life. Looking back our wedding was exactly as we'd hoped. Amanda and her team worked to make our wedding ours - even though it wasn't a conventional wedding. They listened to what we described and help turned our idea into a reality.

le times virtually and over the phone, and was available whenever and for whatever we needed. During our planning, Amanda used her vendor network to find us referrals for dessert options and her knowledge of San Antonio vendors and overall wedding topics was extremely helpful for us. Amanda thought of everything and helped us not only make sure we had the ceremony and day of details planned, but brought up stuff we never had thought of. We met Amanda at our rehearsal the afternoon of our wedding and we were immediately impressed on how she led us and our wedding party through rehearsal. I left the rehearsal feeling 100% confident that Amanda and her team would make my decor vision come true for my wedding and she delivered. Amanda hands down was the reason my husband and I had a stress free wedding day and ceremony and were able to fully enjoy our wedding and guests. She was a great team member and was in charge of everything behind the scenes that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even contacted me the day after my wedding after finding some items we left behind and offered to personally deliver them to us. Amanda really wants your wedding to be great!

e made sure everything ran smoothly. My sis in law accidentally tore my strap on my wedding dress during the reception. Amanda came in with her thread and saved the day. Sewed it right back on. They go above and beyond. My husband says "Amanda and her staff was the best $ spent on our wedding." I HIGHLY recommend hiring an event planner for your wedding. And why not hire the best? Call Amanda at Bluebonnet Events. You won't be disappointed 🙂

absolutely no other person I would want to hold the phone except for Amanda! Thanks Bluebonnet!

y. She's fantastic at communication, asks all the questions that maybe you forgot, and handled everything so well when asked of her. On the day of I had ZERO worries. She was getting the venue ready, getting our florals, constantly making sure I had a beer in my hand (the most grateful). She recommended excellent vendors (such as florals!!) and was such a great support. Thank you so much Amanda, you made Eddie and I have the greatest one year later party, and we are so thankful!!!!!

t 2 wedding runs just as smoothly. She was super accommodating to everyone involved (including mother of the bride), and also had great recommendations from her past experiences, especially on the small things we didn't think about until right before! We don't know what we would have done without her!

planning the entire wedding by myself I knew I needed someone I could rely on to execute the vision the day of so I could actually enjoy the day! Amanda was so professional from start to finish and during the chaos of a wedding day she made me feel at ease knowing she was there to take care of all the little (but very important) details. She is nothing but prepared and I can’t say enough good things! She was so thoughtful and would always ask me before making any decisions that I had forgotten to make prior to the day of but it was so easy for me to tell her “I trust you with whatever you think looks good” and she delivered above and beyond! My wedding day would not have been the same without her and her sweet assistant too.

uld take care of us and that’s when we instantly decided that we would be using her as our coordinator. From beginning to end Amanda was always instantly available. Any questions we had she would get back to us immediately and helped us alleviate so much stress that comes with wedding planning. Not only did she coordinate our wedding but her company Blue Bonnet events also supplied our centerpieces and floral at a ver affordable price. We were able to stay within our budget thanks to the affordability of blue bonnet events. On our wedding day we actually were able to enjoy our wedding and had the best night ever because Amanda and her crew handled our big day with ease. Amanda thank you so much for making our big day so special and enjoyable, we received nothing but great compliments from our guests! My wife and I would 100% recommend blue bonnet events to anyone and everyone.

d but with the help of Bluebonnet Events, our special night was absolutely perfect! Our wedding planning was a breeze as Amanda and her crew offer so many services including coordination, centerpiece rentals, floral and service team. After our first time discussing our ideas with Amanda there was no hesitation on whether or not we would go through her company for these services and we are so happy that we did. Everything turned out better than we could have imagined. Not only did she take care of business the day of our wedding, throughout the night she was constantly checking on us to make sure that we had the best experience possible. Amanda is a genuine person who cares about her customers and it shows. She is awesome and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

eat ideas and advice, and told me straight up what I needed to do and which tasks she would cover. She was extremely organized, kept up with my vendors, had backup plans, and provided me with helpful to-do lists and deadlines so I could stay on top of planning and balance my personal workload. I especially want to thank this team for having my back when I realized 10 minutes before the ceremony that I had forgot my wedding music. Without any hesitation, Amanda downloaded our wedding songs on her cell phone and Cene played them each at the perfect moment, even adding a “fade-in” and “fade-out” effect between the songs which gave the whole ceremony a professional and elegant touch. I wouldn’t have walked down to any music if it weren’t for the quick action from Amanda and Cene. Thanks to their services I didn’t have a worry in the world on such a chaotic and important day. They ensured everything was covered so my family and I could relax and enjoy the day to its fullest. And we did! I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone needing a Wedding Planner or Coordinator!

eemed experienced and she had answers to all of our questions. We decided to hire her as our Day Of Coordinator. We hired her in the fall and our wedding was the next July. I texted her questions throughout the year and she was quick to respond to my texts. She gave great answers and suggestions. As we got closer to the wedding my mom and I met her for our 30-day out meeting to discuss our wedding itinerary and to do a walkthrough at our venue. She had never coordinated a wedding at our venue before. Everything seemed great up until the wedding day. However, things changed on the wedding day. -Amanda was over an hour late getting to the venue. This put everything behind schedule. Our rehearsal was supposed to be at noon and instead it ended up being at 1:30. We rented the tablecloths from her so the 20 round tables and cake and gift tables could not be decorated until she arrived. -Even though she arrived late she still decided to take a lunch break. She left the venue and I do not know what time she came back. She did not need to take a lunch break. There was food in the bridal room. There should be no reason why she would need to leave the venue, especially after getting there so late. - She was disorganized at the rehearsal. - She claimed to have a team or an assistant who would be with her the entire day. Her assistant was her daughter when we were told it would be someone else. -She forgot to put the boutonnières on the groomsmen, father of the bride and groom, ring bearers and groom. A groomsman had to remind her to do it as they were lined up at the door headed to the ceremony. In the photos before the ceremony, none of the guys had their boutonnières on. -She forgot to put the corsages on the 3 grandmas and the 3 musicians. The box of extra corsages was later found pushed up underneath a table in the reception hall. My mom gave her corsage to one of her grandmas so that she would have it on in pictures. -She yelled at the wedding party when the wedding party was lined up to go to the ceremony. - She promised that at the end of the night she would make 2 plates of food and cake for us to take to the hotel that night. We did not receive our food and cake. She was not experienced with the venue so I think she was flustered. Her overall attitude during the entire day was pissy, disrespectful, and unnecessary. The person we hired was not the same person that showed up on our wedding day. We were completely disappointed in her performance and the way she handled situations throughout the day. I regret choosing a coordinator who was not on our venue’s preferred coordinator list.

l venue when the venue coordinator was out of town--and she was nothing but helpful! It was important to me to have waitstaff & bartenders who had been at the venue before, as in my experience that tends to lessen the chance for last minute problems--and they definitely delivered! The linens were delivered on time and set up in what seemed like record time (they estimated to be done by 2 or 3pm; and they were almost completed by the time I arrived at the venue at 1:30) Dinner was served in a timely manner (buffet style); and the cleanup crew did a great job of cleaning everything up quickly and unnoticeably. While I didn't get the chance to meet the bartenders, all of my guests had nothing but great things to say about their friendliness and service, and I am so glad we went with them! In addition, an important family piece was accidentally packed away with the other dishes. When we realized it was missing, Amanda took time out of her vacation to contact the staff that night; and people who could look and located the missing cake slicers! She offered to drop them in the mail, at no cost to me (though I opted to pick up). Working with Blue Bonnets was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend them to any of my friends looking for: linen/dinnerware rental; food servers/cleanup and bartenders.

oice and her genuineness I could hear and feel that told me I had found the perfect person for the job. July/August 2018 i asked if she could send me a few venue options based off of my budget and vision. She not only found the locations, she set up tours for me and included a very professional excel sheet comparing all of the venues and what the total wedding cost could come out to based off of what the venues offered. It was so detailed and me not knowing ANYTHING about weddings (barely knew what a bridal shower was) she gave me the best head start. Throughout the next couple of months, we discussed details about the wedding, she answered random questions I’d send her way and she never judged me for not knowing something as simple as a getaway car lol. Come 30 days prior to the wedding, it was crunch time. She sent me and all my vendors a copy of the timeline for revision and I think she’s a mind reader because everything I wanted, she already knew about and somehow got it into the timeline. Any changes I wanted to make to the timeline was fixed by her before I could blink and all the vendors knew before I remembered to even ask if they all knew of the change. Come rehearsal day, I had some people not show up that I needed there. She’s not only there for you to help plan a wedding but she put me at ease and reassured me that things would turn out ok & did she deliver!!!!! Day of, everything went AMAZINGLY. She let me sleep in while she took care of everything to include her amazing assistant Gracie. My goal was to make sure my husband and I got to ride the zip line in my dress and his dress blues. She made sure I wore joggers so my dress wouldn’t get ruined. Small details like having a pair of socks I didn’t have, she had for me. Also she’s so AWESOME, she rode the zip line herself. She helped me change out of my complicated dress and into my 2nd dress for the reception. By the end of the night, she had our food containers ready to go, our bags ready to go, and I was NOT ready to let her go anywhere. It was so strange that all these months went by and I felt like I had made a close friend. Amanda and her assistant Gracie will go above and beyond for you. Yeah you pay for their services but she truly loves her job and enjoys what she does and will invest into her couples more so than any other planning company I’ve ever heard of.

ted selection, but it was perfect for us and any budget bride!!!

ded a planner. I decided to hire for Day of only. I did a lot of research online and communicated via email/text with several planners. I decided to meet with Amanda from Bluebonnet Events first. My mother wanted to come so we both met with her. It was like friend at first site. We felt so comfortable with Amanda. We had our list of questions and she had answers to questions we had not even thought of. She offered a lot of services that we did not even think of. We booked with her on the spot. She was available throughout my wedding planning. Advised where I should be in the preparations and the things I needed to get to her for the actual wedding so she can make contact with the other vendors to let them know to reach out to her as point of contact. The day of the wedding was such a blur. I was so nervous and time was going so fast. Amanda and her team kept things moving and on time. I do not think I could have tried to manage a wedding like this on my own. It was honestly the best investment we made on the wedding. I am proud to call her a friend now and truly blessed how she made us feel during the wedding process and the actual wedding. Thank you Amanda & Bluebonnet Events!!!

for me every step of the process and when I showed up on my wedding day, I didn't lift a finger. Everything went as planned. She constantly checked in to make sure that everything was going how I wanted it. Amanda was a resource for other vendors; my decorator and my makeup team came from her recommended list and didn't disappoint. Bluebonnet events and Amanda went above and beyond what I expected from a coordinator and planner - down to making a venue trip during the ceremony time to discern if the sun was in the right place! Details I never thought of. She also was available for any 'this or that' questions I had. It's nice to have some helpful expertise when making your important decisions that day and I felt like I had someone on my side the whole time. Amanda was also great with my family. Often times there are a lot of 'planners' around on the big day and she rolled with all the punches, was polite and helpful, and made sure that we stuck to my plan. Thank you for making my special day happen! I couldn't have done it without you.

r. Amanda made my day so easy, I never had to worry about anything and if I needed anything she was on it. She was my fairy godmother to my fairy tale. She solved every problem. I lost my garter the day of wedding and was like oh no we going to have to cut the garter toss. Amanda was to the rescue and got me garter and no one knew. She was good on keeping time and if any plans changed she was on it. My husband and I were tired and ended up leaving a little earlier than we planned. I told Amanda and she had me packed and ready in a matter of minutes. She packed all of our items, food, and cake for us and we were ready to go. I can't say enough GREAT things about Amanda. YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH HIRING HER! SHE IS AMAZING!

nd she did an amazing job with all of our floral for the wedding as well! Definitely would recommend her to anyone needing a coordinator or on the fence about one because as soon as you start working with her you’ll know you’ve made the right decision.

ne! We had no idea what we were doing or where to start in our wedding planning journey, but Amanda put us at ease immediately. She helped us create the perfect wedding day timeline, come up with ideas for the guest favors, suggested other vendors that she has worked with, and she even helped with the small details like our seating chart and centerpieces. My favorite part of wedding planning with Amanda was whenever I would worry about not following some of the traditional wedding protocol, she would say "It's your wedding, you can do whatever you want!" She made sure that we got the wedding of OUR dreams! On the day of our wedding, Amanda made sure that my husband and I were stress free. It is inevitable that something doesn't go according to plan, but I never knew about any of the mishaps because Amanda was on top of it before it was even happening! She kept our wedding on schedule and all events on time. She even worked with the photographers to capture great shots of our little details from our wedding that I never would have thought of. To say Amanda Brown is amazing is an understatement. I highly recommend her services to everyone searching for the dream wedding because she can make it happen! We even have her booked for my younger sister's wedding coming up... that is how awesome she is!

lity, and priority for our event made our experience with Bluebonnet Events exceptional. I did not realize the value in peace of mind on my wedding day and Amanda's ability to take charge of all day-of decor and maintenance of ceremony etiquette allowed us all to enjoy the day!

Amanda and her staff took care of our timeline to ensure we had 100% of our attention on one another. From beginning to end Bluebonnet made our wedding day an event we would never forget.

rding to plan. Every single text was always answered promptly and felt like I was texting an old friend. She had plenty of advice and knowledge to share (like which leg the garter went on! haha) so now I know anytime I look back on my special day, I will always remember her and the wonderful work she did. Thank you Amanda!! #herreraeverafter

lism, knowledge and punctuality when working with her assured me that we chose the right cooordinator. Our Harry Potter themed wedding was simply perfect even with some minor hiccups(which were my fault). Amanda was quick to help me with that so I wouldn’t worry. I was able to actually enjoy my wedding... stress free! Thank you so much Bluebonnet Events! I will definitely be recommending you to friends and family!
