My wife and I are not the type of people who ever write online reviews, but we were so blown away by Laura's services as our wedding coordinator/planner that we knew we had to make...
an exception.
Our first impression of Laura was that she was extremely friendly, professional, patient, and organized - right after our first meeting with Laura, my now-wife and I turned to each other and said, "Wow, she's really good."
As we continued through the planning process, we were constantly impressed by her prompt and clear communications, flexibility with meeting timings, and vast experience with local Houston vendors. She served as a fantastic sounding board as we brainstormed some initial ideas for our wedding, and as plans started to solidify, she provided invaluable recommendations for how best to bring our vision to life, all while helping us maintain a budget-conscious mindset. Whenever we had one-off questions between meetings, she was very responsive to all our texts.
The day of the wedding, she and her team thoroughly handled all logistics and even went above and beyond in adding some final touches to spruce up the venue. We were able to fully enjoy our special day because we had total peace of mind that everything had been coordinated by Laura.
Looking back at the whole process, we can't think of a single thing that could have been improved - no notes! We cannot overstate how highly we recommend Laura's services, and we can't thank Laura and her team enough for all their help!
20/20. Laura made sure everything was taken care of on the big day. She handled everything and made the day fun for me. I had zero worries on my wedding day.
Laura Cardiel was my coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL... I loved working with her and her team every step of the way and would absolutely recommend her to any friends/family gett...
ing married. Laura was easy to get in touch with and always willing to help me/answer questions when I needed her! Her flexibility for scheduling calls was beyond appreciated. She was also unbelievably patient with me, since I am not the most decisive person and can be a bit of a perfectionist with things.. but her kindness and professionalism put me at ease throughout the planning process. On the actual wedding day we did not see each other much, but for good reason since she proved to be the BEST coordinator I could have hired!!! If anything went wrong, I never knew about it or even noticed! The whole day was perfect and everything played out like I had imagined. Even if we were behind schedule, she remained calm and kind while getting us back on track. The secondary coordinator on scene, Kathleen, was absolutely wonderful as well! I truly believe I could not have chosen a better coordinator for my wedding day, as it was the most stress free experience for me, my husband, and our parents. Laura's flexibility, kindness, professionalism, and wedding expertise were demonstrated throughout the entire process and I am almost sad to say goodbye!
We hired Laura as our wedding planner soon after we got engaged and decided we were getting married this year. We had already booked our venue and set the date for our wedding to b...
e 11.1.2024 but we knew we needed help as we both have full time careers and wanted the least amount of stress with planning our wedding. Laura was very responsive via email and text though plus we had monthly video chats for an hour plus to go over details. The day of our wedding we had a power outage as soon, as I was getting to the venue. I, as most brides would, panicked because of the uncertainty of the emergency situation. However, she knew to have a plan which calmed my anxiety. The power never came back on but Laura worked so well with all the vendors do our wedding that you wouldn’t even know we didn’t have power. For me the most important thing is providing reassurance and act on a plan as things don’t always go as planned ever in weddings. So we are beyond thankful to Laura for the amazing work she did and highly recommend her to all brides who seek a wedding planner who goes above and beyond and can face challenges and keep
the schedule going so the bride and groom can have a fabulous wedding overall.
We hired Laura for day of wedding coordination 4 months before our wedding because I was very stressed out. When I met Laura, I knew I needed her to be a part of the big day. There...
’s no way I would’ve been able to have such an amazing wedding day without her help. She took care of everything, from dealing with all of the vendors to making sure everything was getting done. If you think you won’t need a coordinator, think again and hire Laura and her team! Everyone loved the turnout, especially me and my husband! I did not have to worry about a thing! I highly recommend Laura and her team to take care of you on your wedding day!
Laura was amazing!!!! She took care of absolutely everything without any hiccups! Our wedding was perfect, and everything was handled without anybody approaching either of us to ta...
ke care of anything. Laura had everything so organized and in control!
At first I was indifferent in choosing a wedding planner for our event, but after talking to Laura and hearing how personalized and unique she made our day feel, we knew that she w...
as the right one to choose! When she couldn’t be there for our special day, she not only discussed everything with us prior, but she also offered us the help of two wonderful coordinators she works with, Scoot and Kathleen. They both made our day just as special and I can’t thank all of them enough for their services and caring nature towards the whole process.
Laura, Scott, and Kathleen catered to all of our needs even though we only had them for partial planning and they all made us feel appreciated every time we got to talk and work with them. I think Scott was such a GEM!!! Also, thank you so so much Laura for every little detail you put into the day for us that really made it special like the audio guestbook and the easels and even the cake stand! Those things made the day so great and we couldn’t have done this without all of your team! Thank you thank you so so much!! We’ll definitely keep in touch!
Laura and her team did a great job. She worked very well with me including last minute additions and take aways. Notably, when I had a moment of frustration she took the time to li...
sten and provided feedback. I am very appreciative she was able to work within our budget and bring our vision to life. Our guests complemented our wedding day and we still receive compliments. Having a wedding planner is NECESSARY. I thought I could do everything, but as a working mom its not possible. Plus the knowledge and skill she brought to the conversations when I was usure. Words can not express the gratitude I have for Cardi Elegant being apart of our day and I would highly recommend their services.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Cardi Elegant as our day-of wedding coordinator, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we first met Laura, it...
was clear that she was both excited and eager to be our day of coordinator. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it really helped us relax during what can be a stressful time.
Laura assured us from the beginning that she had everything under control, and she absolutely delivered on that promise. Her planning was incredibly thorough and detail-oriented, ensuring that no aspect of our big day was overlooked. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed, allowing us to enjoy our day without any worries. We especially loved the details she added to our wedding cake which included a beautiful arrangement of wild flowers. An added bonus, she even created a social media post highlighting our wedding. She also came with an assistant so everything day-of was executed in a timely manner.
Having seen all her great reviews, we had high expectations, and Laura lived up to every one of them. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine passion for her work made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding coordinator.
Thank you Laura for making our wedding day perfect!
The entire thing was done so well! And the direct communication with the vendors was great! Our day was absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for all the help leading up to the wed...
ding and for making sure the day went smoothly! I’m so thankful for everything y’all did and I can’t believe it’s all over! Thank you again so so much and I’ll make sure to recommend y'all to everyone!
Laura helped us have the wedding of our dreams and stay on track throughout the whole planning process!!!
My wife and I hired Laura to handle our wedding and we couldn't have made a better choice. In addition to being professional and responsive, she handled each element with care and ...
captured all of those small details that made our wedding so memorable. She went above and beyond and we highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner/organizer.
We couldn't be happier with how Laura handled our wedding. her advice and ideas were top notch. I highly encourage anyone to allow Laura to be your wedding planner/coordinator.
We hired Laura as our month of coordinator and are so happy that we did! She was amazing and a huge help during our wedding day. From the moment we first talked to Laura we knew sh...
e was the coordinator we wanted to work with. She was always very enthusiastic and genuinely sounded happy to help us have our wedding dreams come true. The biggest thing I was looking for was someone that would allow me to be stress free as the wedding came closer. Which is exactly what Laura offered us.
The whole month prior to the wedding she took charge of the vendors and all communication went to her so we did not have to deal with them going forward. She created a timeline for our wedding day and sent it to our all our vendors so that way everyone was on the same page. She even created a visual layout for the wedding that way everyone understood where rentals, activities, and ceremony were going to take place. Her team was there during our wedding rehearsal and ensured that the entire wedding party knew their roles during the wedding day, where everyone was going to stand during the ceremony, and in what order everyone was going to walk down the aisle. It may sound like a simple task but running it thru really allowed my wedding ceremony to go smoothly.
It was surprising how many small details Laura and her team caught that allowed my ceremony to go smoother and look more visually appealing with how things were set up. On the wedding day Laura really kept things moving and helped trouble shoot several problems throughout the day. This allowed me to focus on myself and actually have the time to get ready for the wedding without feeling like I had to ensure everyone was doing their jobs and vendors were arriving on time.
Laura and her team really made a huge difference for our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone that is currently looking for a wedding planner/coordinator. If Laura and her team were able to handle our group of friends and 9 dogs that were all part of our wedding and ceremony, then I think she can handle anything!
Laura was THE reason our wedding went so smoothly!! She was "only a day of coordinator" for us but she went above and beyond. It was easy to communicate with her, she had great fle...
xibility when it came to our virtual meetings and planning. Then, when the big day was here, she was MARVELOUS! (Almost like she had done this before or something.) The ceremony went without hitch all thanks to how well Laura helped and prepared us! But that was just the ceremony! Laura rushed over to our reception location, had the band, the cake, the people, everything, all organized and ready to go so we could focus on us. Hands down, this day will be one of our fondest memories, and again, I really can't thank Laura enough for making that happen.
Laura and Kenia were awesome. They handled several small “fires” the day of our wedding. Had fixes or solutions to wardrobe, decor and vendor issues. They made our day fabulous and...
worry free.
Laura was amazing! I have been telling people that my only regret is not hiring her earlier in the planning process. I stressed out so much looking for vendors and trying to plan e...
verything, once I hired Laura everything started going so smooth, she is patient, helpful and willing to help.
On my wedding day I was so busy getting ready I barely had time to talk to her, but she made sure to handle everything (if something went wrong I never found out!). I recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator.
I hired Laura two weeks before the wedding because the process began to really take a toll on me. Trying to keep up with all the vendors, make changes and following up with everyon...
e began to become overwhelming. From the first day that Laura took over I knew we were in GREAT hands. You can always tell the difference from someone who likes what they do compared to someone who has a passion for what they do, and Laura has a passion to make sure your special day is perfect. Laura, made sure vendors were set up, made sure i was aware of any issues, suggested solutions to resolve it, helped with decorating the venue and most importantly she made sure our wedding started on time. I could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator. We were truly blessed to find Laura. If you are looking for someone who cares, punctual, professional, has the eye to make the small details come together and LOVES what they do, then you have found the right person in Laura at Cardi Elegant!
My wife and I hired Laura about a month before our wedding for partial planning services and day of coordination. I can tell you she had a lot to do in very little time and everyth...
ing was great. And my wife had the wedding of her dreams, which is what mattered most. Definitely recommend Laura and her team.

t, but Laura assured us everything was going to be okay. She reworked our agenda a bit and it went so smoothly!!! No one even seemed to notice we weren't on schedule. We are thoroughly impressed with her calmness through the whole thing. NO IDEA what we would have done without her!
We’re so pleased with Laura’s overall management of our event. Will definitely recommend her company for future events. Plus she’s delightful to work with.

elivered on time and under budget. Amazing result. Well pleased. Highly recommend Laura.
We really enjoyed getting to know Laura and having all her help for our wedding. She was very attentive and even helped me finish planning up to 2 weeks before our wedding. She had...
recommendations on vendors for items that we were missing and everything she did was done professionally. She did an amazing job at planning the day of coordination for the ceremony, dinner, and reception. She adhered to everything we wanted and did exactly as our hearts desired. Even though we had to make last-minute changes just hours before our wedding began, Laura went over and above to make sure everything ran smoothly and stress-free for me and my husband. She took care of everything so we didn't have to and we enjoyed our wedding just as we wanted, without lifting a finger. We highly recommend her services to any future brides!!
