Julia Winters Events

plan it felt seamless from start to finish. Each meeting was purposeful and helped get us closer to my dream wedding day. The guests kept talking about how beautiful the wedding was long after the day ended. I would 1,000% recommended booking with Julia for any special event planning (especially weddings).

ay.

wedding!

n my own, but quickly realized how much of a challenge wedding planning can be. Julia came to the rescue and completely took the stress off my shoulders and created our fairytale wedding! She is attentive, easy to work with and professional. She handled the strong personalities of our family and friends perfectly which we could not be more thankful for! She also is an amazing florist and created a stunning garden party themed wedding straight out of a storybook. With Julia in lead and the incredible vendors she recruited, we had the wedding of our dreams! We love her and will be forever grateful! (:

on as well as florals. Truly, the wedding could not have gone any better. The florals were beautiful and exactly what my daughter envisioned. Julia was very responsive, understanding when we had some changes to the timeline, and she took such a weight off of me as MOB. I don’t think the day would have gone as well had it not been for Julia. I wouldn’t change a thing.

mes literally anyone else. When my mom & I met Julia at her office, everything seemed to be going well - I was really happy with her! I told her I was overwhelmed choosing HAMU - she said she did this for a living, & would send me who to use. I never received anything. I found one on my own & she never followed up to even confirm I booked one. She didn’t care to ask. It seemed like she had her own agenda to have us get things that would just look good for her portfolio. About 2 months into working with her I told her we wanted a party bus with the wedding party to leave & she tried to push me to get a Rolls Royce, I said that wasn’t our style & we want the bus. 2 days later she says to my mom she thinks we want the car - She didn’t care what we wanted. About 1 Week before - we were working with the band coordinator (BC), Julia was very adamant about her timeline, which is completely understandable. I simply wanted to clarify that it'll be okay if we go off the timeline a tiny bit. I emailed her saying after the grand entrance, we’d have our first dance, father daughter dance, mother son dance, & welcome speech - all I said was that we don’t need EXACT times after each, if a speech runs over it’s ok - we have to be flexible. I told her the timeline was GREAT but things happen so to prepare to be flexible. After this I had no trust - 3 days before the wedding our groomsman’s flights got canceled & I was working on getting new flights, I also was taking the programs to print & she asked to have a call - I texted her what happened, & how overwhelmed/stressed I was & I would call her when I could - all she said was: oh my, not: what can I take off your plate & help? I THEN get contacted by the BC, that Julia had told them to throw out the entire timeline, that we didn’t want it, & she didn’t know if we wanted speeches/dances & she was waiting for me to have time for her. I had so much to do with no help from her. The BC then called me & I clarified. Julia turned it around & apologized to me for the BC getting confused. I told her the BC wasn’t confused, she had received wrong info from our coordinator (Julia) We were late to rehearsal, & Julia didn’t introduce herself to the wedding party while they waited - they thought she was a parishioner praying for the first 20 min they were there. She consistently got the lineup wrong, even day of she had it wrong. Later, she introduced herself to me. I met her in person - she really didn’t remember meeting the bride? She then points to her bag & asked if I want to say hi - confused, I look & see she had her dog the whole time in the Church, a Holy Sanctuary. How is that appropriate? Day of, Julia wasn’t setting up until after 2, so my mom was there. I don’t have getting ready pictures with my mom, something I can’t get back because she was doing Julia’s job. Julia never asked if we needed anything, she didn’t talk to me the day of until it was time to go down the aisle. She would just walked past me. Because of character limits here I couldn’t list everything, these are the big points I had to include. I hate leaving a bad review, I know people have off times - which is why we emailed her first. She tried to blame others, or make excuses or said: Idk what to tell you. An apology would have gone a long way.

! I truly do not believe our wedding would have been as perfect and beautiful without her. She made me entire vision come to life beautifully!!! Plus she was such a calming presence throughout the entire process. Wedding planning was so fun and enjoyable with her. We also used her services for Florals. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL!!! Literally a dream and so amazing! Julia is simply amazing!!!

nth before Julia took over all the emailing and reaching out to all of the vendors. The day of I was able to let go and enjoy because of her! We even had to find sparklers last minute (because I forgot mine 5 hours away)... She took it upon herself to drive an hour to meet the guy that was able to give us some last minute. Loved her so much and already recommended her to a friend getting married! Thank you Julia!

and insured we would still have our perfect day. She was always available and quick to respond to any questions. I couldn't recommend Julia and her team more!

plan very well! They did an amazing job with the set up for the reception. It looked amazing and we received many compliments from our guests! We also used Julia for our flowers and they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! Our day was so special and Julia helped make it all happen and kept us on track of where and when we needed to be places during the ceremony and reception on the wedding day. We owe Julia a huge thank you.. she did a phenomenal job and we are so happy with our services!

r our wedding, and she created an affordable plan that worked with our schedules, especially with me being a coach! She is easy to talk to, always available when you needed her, and is a person you can count on to be all in the entire process. I really feel that through all of the ups and downs in our own personal life, she was the glue that held us together and made sure this process with simple and smooth. Julia really became a friend throughout the process and now outside of it. Our wedding was one for the record books; Julia truly went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect! Our guest complimented how amazing stunning and spectacular our wedding was, and that is because of Julia! I highly recommend her, and I will definitely be using her in the future!

our budget, and took care of everything so we did not have to. Our flowers and the reception were so beautiful! I do not know how we would have made it through the planning process and wedding day without Julia! She is the consummate wedding professional and so easy to talk to. I cannot recommend her enough!

ding and was so lovely and nice to work with! Thank you for everything, Julia!

g day. During my wedding day, Julia and her assistant helped everyone stay on track of my timeline so everything ran smoothly. Her incredible organization skills meant that all my vendors were at my wedding when they were supposed to. That also meant I actually got to enjoy my own wedding- from the very beginning until the very end. Julia truly has an eye for detail and will let you know if you might have overlooked something important!

y and she did a great job of contacting our vendors and getting things in order during our final month of planning. She was so calm, which is crucial when planning and executing an event as stressful as a wedding! The only complaint we had was that she was very adamant about the bride making decisions and being present at meetings, but not equally as adamant with the groom. A wedding takes two people, so it was rather frustrating for the groom to feel like his opinions and ideas weren't being valued. In the future, we recommend including both spouses equally in the planning process and giving them the opportunity to opt out, rather than making the assumption that the bride is running the show. Overall, we really loved working with Julia and would recommend her highly to friends and family!

ll definitely hire her!

et. She was thorough and organized, constantly keeping us on schedule, and was prompt and available via emails and calls. Her helpful guidance in areas that we would have never considered were invaluable. She was able handle our 300+ cultural wedding event with ease! Thank you Julia! Really appreciate your patience and professionalism!

gn at the top of your list. We hired Julia for “month-of” planning and for florals for my daughter's and son-in-law’s recent wedding in Dallas. I (MOB) was several states away. When we met with Julia for the first time many months ago, my daughter noted how calm she was. “Calm” is not a word that describes either my daughter or me, so we knew Julia would be the right fit for a day when many things can ratchet up the stress. Julia definitely delivered! Happily, in large part BECAUSE we had Julia on our side, there were only minor issues that arose the day of the wedding. But, in the weeks leading up the event, there were several times when Julia’s experience and expertise provided key insights and quick resolutions of issues as she reviewed contracts and worked with our other vendors. We thought we were pretty organized, but there were a number of items that Julia brought to our attention that made for a better, more enjoyable event both for us and for our guests. Julia is thoughtful, careful, and experienced in many “flavors” of weddings and venues. Her florals were absolutely wonderful and she took cues from a variety of inputs and wove them into a beautiful landscape at Brake and Clutch. On the day of the wedding, her team was attentive and careful, and did a great job. Any questions or suggested changes were met with quick responses. Julia and her team are terrific and have our strong endorsement if you are planning a wedding in the Dallas area – the return on investment can’t be beaten!

She did an amazing job helping us plan and organize everything from day 1. She was VERY organized and responded well to the last-minute changes and add ons. On the day-of, we had a lot of things happen off schedule and she was able to adapt well to make any transitions smooth. My day was magical! Julia took all the stress out of planning for me and made it a day to remember.

nths before the wedding because I started to realize just how many details and moving pieces to this process there are, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Julia never skipped a beat and was so organized and detailed the entire time. I never had to worry about anything getting missed or forgotten. She truly knows what she is doing and as long as you follow her lead you can just relax and enjoy your big day, which is what I did. I could not believe how smoothly everything went and I was truly able to be present and have fun with my family and friends. I want to mention that Julia provided both wedding planning and floral services for our wedding and I would genuinely recommend both. She is a great listener and takes everything you say into consideration, so if you expect someone who will be pushing their will and opinions at you, she is not it. I am not sure what else to tell you other than do yourself a favor and hire her.

n helped me finish up some wedding tasks after the wedding was over. I had the most perfect day thanks to Julia's help. I would definitely recommend her!!!

iented person you could ask for. It rained the evening of my daughter’s wedding, but Julia arranged instantaneously to have the ceremony moved indoors. Everything went so smoothly! She kept us on schedule, but so subtly, that most of the guests were unaware of her presence. She was a joy to work with, and all the vendors she coordinated and communicated with sang her praises. Julia was also our florist, and my daughter’s bouquet and table arrangements were stunning. She created a beautiful dessert table. Her prices were very reasonable, too! THE BEST. You can’t go wrong! Love her!

er on the big day. There were also several things we hadn't considered (such as staffing for dinner/reception cleanup, which wasn't covered by our caterer) that would have been sorely missed had Julia not caught them ahead of time. As an overwhelmed couple doing most of the planning and organizing on our own, Julia's help and guidance was a huge relief in the final days.

t perfect bouquets/arrangements, and recommended extra non-floral centerpieces that I never would have even thought to add. Julia was always professional, helpful, and on schedule with our meetings and phone calls, which is hard to come by these days. If I could do it all over again, I would have hired her for more than just month-of because she offers so much expertise and structure to the chaos with planning a wedding. The information she gave us in the weeks leading up to the wedding helped to ensure that we had everything prepared to make our day run smoothly. If there were any issues that arose the day of our wedding, I didn’t know (and still don’t) - and that, alone, was such a relief! Looking forward to seeing Julia again when she coordinates my sister in law’s wedding!

bit overwhelming as we did not feel we had enough time on our own to get everything done. When the stress started to build, we decided we needed help and contacted Julia, which was the best decision we made during the whole wedding planning process. Once contacting and talking with Julia, we decided to sign up for her full service. She immediately made us feel at ease as she started tackling many of the tasks we did not have time for (identify marriage venue, photographer, band, etc.). Julia constantly kept us on schedule and up to date. Further, she brought us options when needing to make choices which simplified the process greatly and made everything easier. I would highly recommend Julia if you are looking to have a seamless wedding where everything turns out great AND you stay on schedule, budget and have limited stress.

e way we had always dreamed. Julia's hard work was instrumental in making our wedding day dreams come true!

edding day, everything went smoothly & perfectly. Julia was easy-going and down-to-earth. It was super easy to work with her and her assistant! She goes above and beyond and offers great advice with just about anything that relates to wedding ceremony and reception. She even carried an emergency kit. One of our groomsman had a mishap and a red wine spilled on his white shirt, Julia immediately took the initiative and used her "magic white out" and the red wine stain was suddenly nonexistent. She also made a rehearsal and wedding day timeline and it was meticulous, but straight to the point. We had multiple venues on our wedding day (church, hotel, and reception) and I was anxious that people would arrive late, but that did not happen because Julia gave everyone in the groom and bridal party, including parents, and the vendors a copy of our wedding timeline! I recommend Julia Winters Events for your wedding! She also offers rental for decorations. It made everything so much easier! Thanks for helping make our wedding day memorable and great!

I ended up having to move to another state a couple months into planning, but Julia took the wheel and made the rest of the planning as painless as possible. The vendors that she recommended were all amazing as well. We couldn't of done this wedding without her!

sful and I don’t know what I would have done without her. She never seemed annoyed by all my questions or when I would text her daily asking for advice on linen colors or lighting. :) She contacted all my vendors and made sure everything was coordinated perfectly. She was so professional and legitimately cares about making your wedding day perfect! I would recommend her to anyone!

g with her for the first time. She took the time to thoroughly get to know me and my fiance, our vision for our wedding, and all of the things that were important to us, big or small. She was punctual, detail oriented, and made sure that everything was handled for our big day. It ended up storming on our wedding day and plans had to change, and she handled it all like a champ while allowing no stress to fall on me. The wedding itself went seamlessly and Julia was great at making sure we were everywhere we were supposed to be, at the right time, all while allowing us to enjoy our time together. I highly recommend her and her services (she does flowers now too) as she made our day absolutely perfect! There's no way I could have done it without her.

d very easy to work with - at ease and confident in her work. Very attentive night of wedding to all our needs - always one step ahead of what needs to happen and working “behind the scene” to ensure a smooth event!

and was readily available whenever we needed her! She is very easy to talk to and helpful in creating ideas for your dream wedding! I couldn't imagine doing it without her! The thought of planning a wedding was very overwhelming and stressful at first but Julia's help eliminated all of that! If you're looking for a wedding planner with great prices and service...you have found the ONE! Thank you Julia for making our big day so special!!

Highly recommend!

to talk to. The day of the wedding went very smooth. She kept me up to date on how everything was going and things she felt I needed to be aware of. Both ceremony and reception space looked absolutely stunning. Our guest were in awe, and continue to talk about how beautiful it was and how much fun they had.

recommending different vendors to help save us some extra money, coordinating layouts, etc., Julia always had the right answers/guidance. Julia always arrived on time to scheduled meetings, her follow up and follow through was impeccable and we knew we would not have anything to worry about on our big day. It was truly a night for us to remember and would not have been nearly as successful without Julia! I would hands down recommend her for any wedding planning! Thank you for everything!

rdinator " last minute and she came to the rescue. Her assistant, Sommer, was my point person and she couldn't have been more perfect. Sommer was amazing!

ors!!! Could not have had my dream wedding without her!!

stomer service. They went above and beyond the call of duty. It's because of Mrs. McLoughlin that we even had a wedding at all! 8-weeks from the wedding we had no decorations, linen, flowers, favors, etc. for the ceremony and reception. With one phone call, Mrs. McLoughlin came in and saved the day! Within weeks, she put together a portfolio of lovely flowers, décor, vendor contracts, etc., and we knew we were in good hands. We received wonderful feedback from family and friends on how lovely, professional, and creative the decorations were...especially the flowers and bouquets, lighting and the SPCA puppy adoption station on the lawn of the reception venue! Most importantly, Mrs. McLoughlin & her team made us feel comfortable that we were going to get the wedding of our dreams within budget, and made sure we were taken care of. We have already recommended Julia Winters Events to our friends, one of which has already booked her after seeing our wedding ceremony and reception!

h Julia made the process less daunting. She was able to educate us in areas we were clueless about and introduced us to her contacts and network, which saved us a lot of time in terms of picking vendors. She made sure to get to know the look we were going for, which we appreciated while planning for details to incorporate in the wedding. Julia also served as the middle person for communicating and corralling all the vendors, another task to cross off our list making everything easier. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond what we expected, and kept everyone on time, and structured so that the entire event went smoothly. We appreciate Julia for all of her efforts throughout our year of wedding planning, and would recommend her to anyone!

icate with and very professional.

n like a breeze or at least I thought so. Actaully there were many problems but when they arose Julia was there to fix them! I was allowed time to enjoy my day! She is definitely worth spending the money on, and she will get the job done! HIRE HER! ❤️❤️❤️

ng for me. Even though her services didn't officially start with us until 4 weeks out, Julia was more than happy to offer advice and recommendations in the year leading up to the wedding after I had booked her. Julia was super responsive throughout the entire process and her wedding planning website is useful and easy to navigate. After our first official wedding planning meeting 4 weeks prior to the wedding, I started to actually see and trust that everything was going to come together. I couldn't have placed my trust in more capable hands than Julia's. On the day of the wedding, I never once had to even think about the details because everything ran so smoothly. This really is saying a lot because we found out after the wedding that a couple of our vendors made some pretty big mistakes that would have been noticed by guests had Julia not stepped in to help them succeed. (Note that these vendors were NOT referred to us by Julia! Lesson learned!) Deciding to hire a month of coordinator was the best decision I made for the wedding, and choosing Julia to be my coordinator was the second best decision. Thank you, Julia!!

n contacting our vendors for confirmation & final payment information. Thanks for making our special day run so smoothly!
