House of Tales Events

, etc. Then you add in the crazy amount of planners in the DFW area and you start to feel overwhelmed! I would highly suggest meeting with 3-4 planners before you make your decision. I am so glad I found House of Tale events. Not only did Maya go above and beyond, she is truly a friend now. She understood my vision and made sure to suggest vendors that fit my vision, wants, and budget. When I had concern about a my vendors, she made sure to address it for me. The day of my wedding was when Maya and her team REALLY shined. Everything flowed and went according to schedule. Not only did my family and friends realize how organized and prompt Maya was, the guest did too! Maya made sure to have a team member with both my husband and I the whole time to tend to our needs. I cant say enough great things about House of Tales. If I could do it all over again, I would choose them 1000x times over.

ner I hired per a reference. Maya stepped up immediately and created a quick timeline to get me on track. She has many great connections with wedding vendors in the DFW area and I picked out the ones I knew would perform with my style and budget in mind. She set up all of my vendor meetings and showed up early to them to fill out the paperwork. I had to leave a floral consult early and she stayed and finished the meeting for me because she knew my vision. She saved me so many hours of research and phone calls! On my wedding day, my family and I just had to show up. I didn’t have to set anything up, the vendors were received as she was their contact, and she was in charge of the day of timeline. The day did go by very fast but I didn’t have to worry about directing anyone or having family clean up after. House of Tales takes care of everything! Maya is a wedding professional and I 100% recommend House of Tales for your wedding!

d her amazing work ethic make her a stand out. She is very flexible in the planning process and will make sure to work around your schedule as much as possible. Her services are priceless and she will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Maya and her team are all amazing, her girls are super professional and make sure you are okay every step of the way on your day. I think it's important to mention them as they really do make a difference the day of. All of Maya's vendors will bring it and are a true reflection of her high standards. She leaves no stone unturned the day of your wedding, if something is or has gone wrong YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW! I could go on for days but Maya truly is the definition of a great event planner! Hire her now! You won't regret it :) It was the best decision we made for our special day.

g on my own and with my over the top ideas, I quickly realized I need help. She stepped in and worked her magic and brought my vision to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again and if you think you can go with just any one THINK AGAIN! She is the BEST and top-notch, and I feel so blessed to have had her and her team with me every step of the way. She had everything 100% under control at all time and there was no need for stress. Trust me, Maya is a design genius! It's like she was reading my mind!! I loved everything she came up with! She respected my input and added her special designers eye to my ideas. Bonus- if you're looking to have a best friend Maya is your lady! The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment...BEST DAY EVER

the quality of her services were impeccable! They were absolutely AMAZING! Just FABULOUS :). Maya is very personable and genuinely caring. My husband and I had an immediate connection with her. She also is very organized, led me in the right direction when looking for vendors and (most importantly) kept me calm throughout this entire planning process. She also kept me on budget!!! Maya has great connections!!! There are so many more wonderful things I could tell you about House of Tales, but I’ll keep it short. During my bridal shoot, my mom panicked because she didn't know how to assist me with the corset. Maya sent Faith, her assistant to the rescue. She was prompt and very diligent. Basically, I love Maya and House of Tales Events. We are so grateful for all she did for us :)

to person helping me with my wedding. She is a life saver. She is professional, organized, so talented, trend savvy and has a wicked sense of humor that came handy so many times we i had several melt downs. She is not only my wedding planner but my best friend now. We love her so much. Thank you for everything you did for us. My day was just a dream. Ilana and Jose

Events I can't thank you enough for the happiest day of my life!

en I started meeting with wedding planners, my husband was very skeptical about needing a wedding planner and believed that it was money that we could put towards something else and plan it ourselves. However, after our first time meeting Maya , he was convinced!! Maya really listed to my vision of what I wanted for my wedding day and boy she had amazing design ideas. . She also has connections to some AMAZING vendors who I never would have picked on my own. Wedding planning can be very stressful, but every time I met with Maya, I would have an overwhelming sense of relief after the meeting because she was always organized and reassuring that everything would be just ok!! And she was right, I can't even begin to express how absolutely perfectly our wedding day went and I know that it was all because of her. I would recommend her to anyone getting married!

different country the ENTIRE time. She attended meetings and open houses and always Skyped me so I can see venues and decorations, etc. We only had a few hours to communicate due to the time difference and she was always there for me when I needed her. Every time I called, she answered or got back to me in a timely manner. I never felt like things weren't done or Maya wasn't on top of her work. I definitely felt very relieved having her and fully trusted her to manage everything. I never felt stressed out or as if Maya didn't have my back. There was many situations where Maya went out of way to make sure things were taken care of or to accommodate me (before and during the wedding). Maya's team is also very good. Everyone constantly made sure everything was going perfect and was on top of it. I considered a few planners but after reading the reviews on Maya, I knew she fit in perfectly. I knew Maya was the perfect person for me when I read a review that said something like "not only is Maya a great wedding planner, but she is also someone that later became a friend". That was the most important reason why I picked Maya. That let me know that Maya not only cared about her job, but always cared about me too and how I felt about every decision made. Bottom line, if you are looking for someone to guide you, manage, or expand your imagination with ideas and creativity, Maya is definitely it. Not only will Maya work with you and meet your expectations but she is also someone you can't help to like as a person and a friend. Everyone at the wedding loved Maya and her team. She is very professional and has excellent work ethic and is fabulous, all at the same time. I am very pleased with everything she did for me. You would not regret picking her on your special day. She comes with a team of people that all work well together and know how to accommodate every groom and bride. Maya has many years of experience and is very professional and knows how to handle difficult situations without you feeling stressed at any point. I had a very stress free wedding and everything went perfect thanks to her. Thank you Maya for your fabulous taste, patience, and your kindness. I'm so happy you were a part of my special day.

ot only run smoothly but also rather enjoyable.

re for us through it all especially when there were exciting changes as well and hard family times She became not only our amazing wedding planner but our friend as well. My husband and I, as well as our families, are beyond impressed with Maya and all that she did to make our day phenomenal. She always helped us keep on track with our timeline as well as our budget and all the vendors that she recommended to us were just as amazing as her. Everyone was so professional and truly accommodating. Maya and her team made us as well as all of our family and guests feel like royalty on our wedding day. We have recommended her to all of our friends that are looking or will be looking to plan an amazing stress-free wedding. Maya and her team truly went above and beyond and, because of them, our wedding day was even more amazing than we could have ever imagined! All of our guests keep telling us that our wedding was the best they had ever attended. None of it would have been possible without Maya and her wonderful team.

cute a beautiful and fun wedding that was everything I could have ever dreamed of. On the wedding day, Maya and her team kept everything running smoothly and perfectly. It was wonderful to have absolutely nothing to worry about on my wedding day but to marry my best friend! I would absolutely recommend House of Tales for your wedding or event! Maya is not a business-as-usual planner; she genuinely cares about her clients and their dreams for their dream day!

guests. The vendors recommended by Maya gave outstanding customer service throughout the day. Everything ran smoothly with no worries on our part. Maya handled everything from start to finish with respect, grace, and devotion. As parents of the groom, we couldn't have asked for a more magical day! We give her an A+++++!

he is a creative genius who steered us to the most brilliant vendors. No challenge was too big no detail too small, our wedding was flawless. Our friends and family who came to celebrate our wedding left with an extraordinary memory. Even my grandfather who is very hard to please was very impressed with everything. Maya took my vision and made it even better. During our time together i gained a friend. She is worth every penny. Thank you so much House of Tales girls. My wedding was perfect!!

d knows everyone in the wedding business and made sure I found the right vendors for my theme, personality, and budget. She was there through every turn of the roller coaster that is wedding planning, and even provided emotional support when I needed it. From engagement to "I-do", I couldn't have done it without her. I whole-heartedly recommend her for any bride that wants her day to be flawless! Her attention to detail is amazing, and she dedicated more of her time to my wedding than I could have hoped for!

eam wedding planner! Someone who gets things done - no matter the obsticales. You always have a solution to make everything happen and people happy. I don't think there's another person in this industry who is as great as you! Shahin and I are beyond thankful for you and would recommend you 10000000 times! Thank you!!!😘😘😘

fordable. She walked me through every detail since I had no idea where to even begin to plan my wedding. She was always a phone call or text away. She always responded quickly to my emails, answering all of my question, concerns, detail changes, etc. She was beyond amazing helping me find vendors and set up all the meetings and contracts. The discount she got us on oour fireworks alone is eough for me to sing her praises. She always had a smile on her face and a bright attitude to lift me out of my bridezilla stress/freakout moments. She was available to help me at both of my bridal portrait sessions since I didn't have any family or friends living close enough to help me. Thank goodness she was there because I literally couldn't have done it without her especially since it rained on both my shoots. She was always checking in with me periodically and available to meet in person to get a update on the planning process and just to check in with my fiancé and I. Maya is the most amazing wedding planner because she made sure everything ran so smoothly and double checked and triple checked every detail that I wanted. She worked wonders to communicate with all my vendors and make my wedding the most magical fairytale I could've ever wanted. On the wedding day I could really see the effort she put in to make sure everything was perfect for me. I don't know how I could've planned this wedding by myself while working and going to school. I just can't even imagine. Words cannot express enough how much I truly truly loved working with Maya & her associate & how much I appreciate from the bottom of my heart all the things she did both behind the scenes and in coordination with me to give me the wedding of my dreams. Thank you SO SO much Maya Jareou I will never forget my experience working with you I will cherish you always. I DEFINITELY recommend you to everyone I know and even those I don't know because you are a miracle worker. If I could I would give you 10 stars. Love and blessing your way.

only recall one misstep but aside from that everything was fabulous. She did her absolute best to make sure that both my husband and I were very happy. My husband really wanted to be included and Maya made sure to include him in meetings, phone calls, and decisions. The day of our wedding she appeared calm and completely in control. She also took time at several points during the reception to make sure that I had everything I wanted, it was great! When I told her that something I wanted for my exit was with my mother, she said "no worries" I'll take care of it and she absolutely 100% did! Oh and did I mention that this was moments before our exit from the reception. Her assistant was extremely professional and very warm and sincere. Three Cheers for House of Tales Events!!!

king our day magical and price. From the time we made her our official coordinator, she was at our beck on call. She went out of her way to schedule all my appointments to directing the design of our wonderful day. She even was there for emergency "calm down" sessions whenever I needed her. She is go to person for bargaining with other venders. Maya provides the empathy with emotional brides and confidence boost for grooms. If it wasn't for her, I don't think our wedding would've been as exceptional as it was. Thank you Maya for being there every step of the way and making such a great memorable celebration for us. XO, Kate

here for me when i needed her. Very knowledgeable and has great connections with vendors. She has an amazing talent and she truly committed to make the impossible possible for her client. We loved everything in our wedding. I was very happy thanks to her.

ve coordinators” and I agree! You went above and beyond what we expected and it was great not having to worry about getting things set up and dealing with vendors. Again, thank you so much for all of your help for the wedding!

wedding. She made us feel so comfortable, and that is what makes her special. We are so grateful for all of her advice and creative design ideas for our wedding. My wife and I are very Thankful.

edding planning process, from touring venues, to cake tasting, to flower design, and everything in between. We loved everything. Many thanks.

ing of the wedding and the day because of her.

of mine and went just to stop her from nagging me :) After one meeting with Maya I knew I had found that one person that was going to put up with my crazy vision and ridiculous demands without making me feel like a typical bridzella! I highly recommend Maya and her company to every bride out there. Your wedding day is supposed to be a once in a life time magical evening and House of Tales really delivered, over and beyond what was required and promised!! Thank you <3

ls, Great relationship with all vendors, Great communication skills, my entire planning process was really fun because of her thank you so much for everything you've done for us my wedding was just perfect.

I was totally wrong! The minute I started working with House of Tales Events and Design, a stress was lifted from my shoulders. From day one of planning, Maya Jareou, the company’s owner, did all the heavy lifting. She created a budget for me, (you’ll need a planner to do this for you! I had no clue how much things actually cost!), and presented me with options for venues, photographers, florists, and everything else in between. She even brought the vendors to our meetings to be interviewed, which saved me tons of time. Maya knew my vision for my wedding from the start, so every idea she had was exactly what I was looking for. When thing got stressful, Maya calmed me down. There is something about her personality that puts a bride at ease! I never had to worry about things going wrong, because Maya took care of it immediately. I’m sure things happened that I don’t even know about, but that’s the beauty of working with her! The bride doesn’t need to deal with the normal stresses of wedding planning. I know many of you reading this are wondering if you can afford to hire a wedding planner, and if it’s really worth the money. Let me tell you, you can’t afford NOT to hire Maya. Because of Maya, I was able to get some significant discounts on many things. I would never have been able to get these discounts on my own. Maya literally paid for herself three times over with all the money she saved us. I will be forever grateful for this! My wedding day was simply amazing. Every guest in attendance told me it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to, I love her like a sister!! You want someone like that to be in charge of the biggest day of your life. I couldn’t recommend Maya more. I don’t know why every bride in Dallas doesn’t hire her. She’s worth every penny she charges. At one point, I asked her why she doesn’t charge more!! You won’t be disappointed with House of Tales Events and Design.

d helped me decide of who to choose. She put in her professional input and listen to mine and my family's input as well and we would work together to make a perfect decision :) She would often be overly cautious, which is a MUST for weddings, and her timelines and emails to vendors were what were needed to pull of the perfect wedding. Maya is a very passionate and professional planner (with an excellent eye for design!) and an excellent friend to have on your side while planning for your perfect day!

o detail and ability to roll with the punches allowed us to have the most incredible and worry free time planning our wedding. Her fee rate was more than fair and we certainly got the service and care we were looking for and then some! Maya was always there to answer any questions and point us in the right direction for all of our planning needs (officiant, flowers, invitations). The wedding planning calendar checklist she created for us was a lifesaver and really helped to keep us organized and on budget. She knew exactly how to problem solve and was sensitive to all of our requests and anxieties. She was punctual, organized and an amazing communicator. On the day of, everything ran without a hitch, Our reception was perfectly set up and the entire evening was seamless. Maya became a friend throughout the entire process. She and her team are exactly the kind of people you want to be there for you on your big day. Thank you for everything!

wedding was everything that we ever wanted. I knew I had to hire a full planning services specially since I live in Chicago, and my wedding was in Dallas. I looked at so many wedding planners in the Dallas area but no one impressed me. Till I saw House of Tales add at the Knot Magazine, I spoke with Maya and she invited me to Skype. She was very informative and helpful and I felt that we are a great match. Our wedding could not have gone as smooth as it did if it wasn't for Maya. Her commitment to me as a client and her talent to design and planning a wedding is one of a kind. Thank you so much Maya for everything.

lly understand the VALUE of a wedding planner until you plan your own. Maya was OFF the charts. She responded to all my texts, emails, calls. She was able to listen to my crazy ideas and somehow translate them in to a wedding. She has remarkable taste. I trusted her with everything, that is coming from a control freak girl that never trust anyone. but boy I did with her. She was not my Wedding planner she was my savior to sanity during my melt downs. She made me feel like I am her only client!!!My wedding was everything I wanted. I can't say enough about her, she is great. She is worth every penny. don't go to the cheap planner they wont be as attentive and talented like Maya Jareou, Trust me on this!! stop looking and just go with her.

uldn't have done it without her! Maya always made herself available to me throughout the planning process. She saw my vision and made it a reality. In the weeks prior to the wedding she was in contact with all of my vendors, and she provided a detailed and comprehensive timeline for all involved with the wedding. At rehearsal, she ran the show and made sure everything went as smooth as possible. And on the BIG DAY, I was able to focus solely on marrying the love of my life because I knew Maya had all the details under control. I didn't worry about a thing! I had a number of family members and friends who were involved in our wedding comment on what a phenomenal job Maya did. I really can't say enough positive things about my experience! The value of the work Maya did was priceless! Hire her and stop wasting your time elsewhere.

. She helped me book all of the other vendors for my wedding. One of the things that I greatly appreciated was how honest She was. She was very straight forward with what would and would not work. She would tell me if there was a more inexpensive option for something that I wanted. The weekend of our wedding we were supposed to have rainy weather, I honestly (as any bride would be) was slowly turning into a nervous wreck. I talked to Maya several times each day leading up to the day of the wedding and she was my rock. She was so calm and prepared that all of my nervousness was put at ease. The Weather ended up fizzling out and not impacting us. My wedding went on as scheduled and was absolutely beautiful. I got the wedding of my dreams and all of the details were perfect. She brought all of my ideas to life. My parents were so happy with everything, and they still say Maya was the best investment they made for the wedding. I cannot say enough great things about Maya and her company. If you hire her I promise you will not be let down and you will actually get to enjoy your special day instead of stressing over it.

iends.

in wonderful memories for us, our family and friends. They instantly got our personalities and characters and created a wedding day around them to suit our taste and style. We are forever grateful. Don't get married without them!

could finally make every detail a reality with absolute ease. The journey started off rough because finding a good wedding planner was not as easy as I thought. In fact, it was a bit of a nightmare! All the ones I saw were focusing on all the wrong thing and I felt like screaming - this is MY wedding, not yours! I was just about to give up, when I found Maya! She is God sent. Maya made me feel like a princess! She understood what I wanted and most importantly delivered a wedding beyond my wildest expectations, and she did so without ever making me feel nervous about anything! Her attention to detail was so superb that it left everyone at the wedding (STILL) talking about my special day! I love it! Everything .. and I mean EVERYTHING... was taken care of! House of Tales is the real deal and I would only recommend them to all my friends and/or anyone looking to get married!

had planned to create my winter wonderland theme Wedding. We came to her with an idea and she turned it to a reality. She is passionate about her job and about the people she work with. I loved every minute of our planning journey with her. Thank you Maya of House of Tales.

relief. Not only she listened to me and my husbands ideas but she actually turned out to be what we always wanted in a wedding planner. She is patient, trend savvy, great with people and most important, very hands on with vendors. My wedding was a dream come true. Thank you White Rose wedding
