Hailey Yancey with The Lovely Event Company was truly the best decision we made for our daughters wedding! From our very first conversation to the last moment of her wedding day, H...
ailey went above and beyond in every possible way.
Her attention to detail, organization, and calm, reassuring presence made the entire planning process so much easier than we ever imagined. She took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life beautifully, while handling every detail behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy our day.
Hailey anticipated needs before they even arose, coordinated with all of our vendors seamlessly, and made sure everything stayed on schedule without us having to worry about a single thing. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for what she does were evident in every interaction.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who truly cares about her couples and will go the extra mile to make your day absolutely perfect, I cannot recommend Hailey Yancey with The Lovely Event Company enough. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our daughters wedding unforgettable. Thank you, Hailey, for making Elizabeth’s dream wedding a reality!
I interviewed over a handful of planners, but as soon as I met Dana, I knew I had found the one! From our very first conversation, I knew she understood my vision, and I trusted he...
r to help us pull off a wedding in just three months. As the first wedding in our family, we had no idea where to start, but Dana’s calm confidence, industry knowledge, and incredible network of trusted vendors made the entire planning process feel manageable. She helped us navigate every unknown, including a difficult vendor (that I had chosen), and was an excellent communicator with us and our vendors. Our wedding wasn’t completely traditional, and she fully embraced our ideas, helping us create a day that truly felt like us.
On our wedding day, I had complete trust in Dana and her team. Her team did a phenomenal job making sure everything was running smoothly. She understood my vision so well that I was completely comfortable letting her make executive decisions, knowing every detail would be beautiful. She thought of so many little things I never would have considered, and they made such a difference. I would recommend Dana to anyone without hesitation!
Jessie Craig and her team from Lovely Event Co. truly went above and beyond for our wedding. From the very beginning, their top priority was making the entire planning process and ...
wedding day as stress-free as possible, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment together. Their organization, support, and attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind, and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. We are so grateful for everything Jessie and her team did to make our day so special!

e, organized, and honestly so much easier than I ever imagined it could be.
Dana was there for every decision...big or small...and always provided guidance, reassurance, and expertise when I needed it. She has an incredible talent for bringing all of the tiny details together and making everything feel seamless. On our wedding weekend, I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because I knew she had everything under control.
What impressed me most was her ability to bring my vision to life beyond my wildest dreams while also being mindful of our budget. She helped us maximize every dollar and made our wedding feel far more beautiful and special than I ever thought possible.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dana. Not only is she an amazing planner, but she is also an amazing person. Even months after our wedding, she still checks in on my husband and me, which speaks volumes about how much she genuinely cares about her couples.
If you're considering hiring Lovely Event Co., do it. Dana is worth every penny and then some. Our wedding would not have been the same without her, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for us.
Dana planned my May 2026 wedding weekend in Fort Worth. I had a very specific vibe, design, and venues in mind, and Dana took my vision and ran with it! She was an immense help sug...
gesting vendors, designing the space, and keeping me on task. She was very easy to work with and communicative. She was budget-conscious and had lots of fun ideas that I would not have considered myself. Definitely a value-add :)
Both events she planned-the welcome party and wedding-went very smoothly. Everything was beautiful and organized thanks to Dana's assistance. Even when I felt like there were a lot of moving parts, Dana was not worried in the least! My wedding was everything I wanted to be thanks to her excellent work. I would recommend Dana to anyone planning a wedding. I will miss planning with her!
Lovely Event Co. was the best decision I made when planning my wedding! Dana my wedding planner made me feel so at ease the entire process and knew exactly how to execute the visio...
n I had in my head and across Pinterest boards. Having a wedding planner is definitely an investment I would encourage all couples to do if they can make it work in their budget. Having an AMAZING one like Dana makes the process even better!! I am so grateful for all of her and her team’s hard work. Seeing it all come together on the day brought me to tears (literally, my photographer has a picture). If you’re looking for a wedding planner, look no further. You have hit the jackpot with this one!!! We love you, Dana!

I cannot explain how thankful and blessed my husband and I were to have had Dana Jensen at Lovely Event Co. plan our wedding. We purchased her full-service package, and it was hand...
s-down the best decision we made. Her services were worth every penny (and more, quite honestly.)
In the year leading up to the wedding, Dana sourced almost every single one of our vendors. She communicated with them, was responsive to every email and text, and scheduled calls and check-ins to make sure we were all aligned. She had software and platforms that walked us through the entire process, from RSVPs and meal selections to tracking addresses and more.
Wedding planning is stressful, and Dana lifted so much of that stress, not only through her organized and meticulous approach, but also through her warm and sunshiney personality. She was incredibly emotionally supportive throughout the entire process.
Up until the wedding, I thought I couldn’t possibly be more grateful for Dana. I was wrong. She is the sole reason our wedding went SO perfectly. She kept us on schedule, knew the answer to every question, made sure I kept my head on straight, and communicated seamlessly with all of the vendors throughout the evening.
I received countless compliments from guests about Dana and her services, with my dad being her biggest fan.
Most importantly, we presented her with a budget, and while Dana is the sweetest human, she does not shy away from keeping it 100% real. She was very honest with us about what to expect within our budget. She tracked every penny, and by the end of the wedding, we actually came out over $4K under budget.
Had she not been open with us about costs, supplied us with solid and affordable vendors, provided us with a proper budget spreadsheet, and set realistic expectations about how much things cost, we would have been screwed. Planning a wedding for almost 200 people is way beyond our expertise, and we were thrilled to have Dana to rely on. She absolutely delivered.
I cannot say thank you enough times. Dana does not feel like someone we hired. She feels like family. We love you, Dana!! Thank you for starting off our marriage in the most magical and wonderful way!! ❤️

ow all my daughter’s wishes were honored. You and your team were amazing, organized and thoughtful. I didn’t worry about any details on the day of the wedding. Thank you. Thank you!

Our wedding simply would not have been what it was without Jessie. From the very beginning, she made us feel seen, cared for, and genuinely supported. I’m an anxious bride by natur...
e, and I can honestly say I experienced the most peaceful, joy-filled wedding day imaginable and that was entirely because Jessie carried the weight I was afraid of and handled every detail with confidence.
We asked her to always share her honest, professional opinions, and she did so with a rare combination of expertise and thoughtfulness. She gracefully navigated my hurricane-energy decision-making style and my husband's Type A tendencies, never missing a beat, never making us feel anything other than capable and celebrated.
On the day itself, everything flowed seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing because Jessie was already two steps ahead. She advocated for us, communicated beautifully with vendors, read the room, and made sure the day reflected who we are. Our guests raved about how intentional and joyful everything felt, from the ice cream and coffee cart to our whiskey lounge, and we know those magic touches were made possible because Jessie understood us and executed our vision perfectly.
We truly cannot imagine our wedding without her. Jessie is the kind of planner who becomes a steady hand, a voice of reason, and a genuine presence of warmth throughout the process. If you are looking for someone who will honor your vision, offer invaluable insight, and ultimately give you the gift of actually enjoying your day, Jessie is that person. We are so grateful to have had her as part of our story, she is exceptional.
Thank goodness for Monique and her team! They really made sure everything went so smoothly - absolutely zero stress was on me for the day of! They were so organized and knowledgeab...
le. I really felt like Monique became a friend, and that is the type of person you want helping keep you chill and having fun on your wedding! I could not recommend them enough.

We booked their Wedding Management package, and Dana communicated with all the vendors we had chosen so well so that everything went smoothly on our wedding day! She made us feel so calm and taken care of and we are so grateful to Dana and her team!
We cannot recommend Dana enough! From the very beginning, she kept us organized month after month with to‑dos we never would have thought of ourselves. She handled the entire desig...
n of our wedding and somehow turned my vague inspo pics into a dream come true. By the end of the process, she knew my likes and dislikes so well that she didn’t even need to ask—she just nailed it every time.
Dana guided us through choosing the right vendors and even pulled off booking last‑minute ones in the final month. She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and always one step ahead. On the wedding day itself, everything felt seamless for us, even though she was juggling multiple behind‑the‑scenes issues with vendors. We never felt the stress because Dana handled it all with grace.
If you’re looking for a planner who is not only professional and detail‑oriented but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, Dana is the one. She made our wedding unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for her!
I don’t even know if words can do justice to how incredible my experience with Dana at Lovely Event Co. was, but I’ll try. Choosing wedding vendors is stressful, but from our very ...
first call through our last hug on wedding night, Dana brought peace, clarity, and joy to every single step. She somehow took my string of thoughts, dreams, and Pinterest boards and turned them into the most gorgeous wedding I have ever seen *and it was mine*.
I chose partial planning + design, and Dana went above and beyond in every sense. She sourced fairly priced, high-quality vendors, managed every detail with firm organization, and offered thoughtful inspiration when I needed it most. Her relationship with our venue (The Adolphus) was invaluable—she helped craft a timeline that not only gave us space for what mattered most (dancing, speeches, moments alone together) but also ensured our guests had an unforgettable experience with seamless flow, amazing food, multiple bars, and zero stress.
What sets Dana apart is that she is both a high-end luxury planner and one of the most down-to-earth, kind, and genuinely warm people you’ll ever meet. She was always ten steps ahead, sending reminders before I even thought to be stressed, celebrating every milestone with us, and fielding any issues so gracefully that I didn’t even know they existed. I had a vision for the day, but the reality exceeded every expectation I could have dreamed.
People keep asking if I’m sad my wedding is over. The truth is, I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day—and that’s because of Dana. The only part I *am* sad about is that she doesn’t have to check in with me all the time anymore (though she will have a fan in me, my husband, and all of our guests for life).
I don’t give out recommendations lightly, but booking Dana was the best decision I could have made. If you want a planner who is firm, organized, brilliant, and still has the warmest heart, she is it. Brides and grooms, do yourself, your guests, and your future self a favor and book her. Dana, we love you endlessly and are forever grateful.
Dana, Alex, and the Lovely Event Co team saved our wedding. Less than a couple months before our big day, we realized how negligent our original planner had been. Despite the short...
timeline, Lovely Event Co’s execution was mind blowing. Instead of a disaster, we had a fairytale wedding. We will be forever grateful.
Monique and the whole Lovely Event Co. team are unmatched! They handled every detail of our day, always asked about the items we hadn't even considered (so appreciated!), checked i...
n regularly, and kept us on track! The whole team was kind, professional, and incredibly important in making our day the success it was!
Monique with Lovely Event Co exceeded all of my wedding planning expectations! I truly cannot thank her enough for helping plan our dream wedding. She is extremely organized, patie...
nt, and a true expert in all things wedding planning. Monique has incredible ideas, response time, and follow through. She was so flexible with us and made wedding planning feel easy, even with planning a wedding in Texas while living in Colorado! I can honestly say I never felt too overwhelmed or stressed and that is largely due to Monique. Our entire wedding day and planning experience was perfect and I knew I could trust Monique to handle all the little details so we could enjoy our day. The best investment of our wedding experience was booking with Monique!
Absolutely! Here’s an updated version of the review with a mention of Dana’s professionalism in handling tough vendor conversations:

**5 Stars – A Wedding Coordinator Who Tru...
ly Does It All**
Hiring *The Lovely Event Co.* and working with Dana was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning journey. From our very first conversation, Dana brought a sense of calm, clarity, and genuine care that made the entire process feel manageable and even fun!
Dana is not only incredibly organized and detail-oriented, but she’s also a true professional when it comes to navigating tough conversations—especially with vendors. She handled every situation with grace and confidence, advocating for us when needed while always maintaining positive, respectful relationships. It was such a relief knowing we had someone in our corner who could manage even the trickiest of situations with ease and diplomacy.
On the wedding day, Dana and her amazing team executed everything flawlessly. We were able to be fully present and soak in every moment, knowing the logistics were in expert hands. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how seamless and beautiful the day was—and that is a direct reflection of Dana’s leadership and her team’s dedication.
If you want someone who is calm under pressure, confident in high-stakes moments, and truly invested in bringing your vision to life, Dana and The Lovely Event Co. are it. We are endlessly grateful!
We absolutely loved working with Jessie Craig at Lovely Event Co. She was very quick to respond whenever we needed anything. She helped guide us through the process and had great c...
ommunication. She was very organized and paid great attention to details. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience throughout our wedding planning process with her.
We were so fortunate to have Jessie Craig as our wedding coordinator. Although she did not technically start until 60 days from our wedding date, she was so helpful in the weeks be...
fore, answering any all all questions that I had, making suggestions, and then hitting the ground running 60 days out. She was truly a lifesaver, keeping me on task, attending all meetings and asking questions I had not thought of, and keeping everyone on schedule (despite having an extremely large wedding party with lots of moving components). We had a last minute fashion emergency, and she handled it with such grace, I as the bride had no need to panic knowing she was taking care of everything. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding, and it would not have been possible without the hard work of Jessie and the Lovely Event Co Team!
Dana and her team were instrumental in making our wedding day perfect! From our very first conversation, Dana was knowledgeable, kind, and so ready to answer all of my questions! I...
n the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, she provided us with a level of organization for tasks that we would otherwise never have been thinking about, and because of that, the week and day of the wedding were so incredibly stress free, because everything had already been handled! Cannot recommend Dana and her team enough, they were amazing!!!
If you are on the fence about hiring a planner for your wedding do it and hire Lovely Event Co, then ask for Monique to help plan your day. Monique went above and beyond for me. I...
can be a lot to handle because I am.... well...neurotic. I worry and/or stress about everything. Monique handled all my worries and fears with ease. She even empowered me when I felt bad about decisions I was making. She worked with my busy schedule when I started a new job during wedding prep (do not recommend doing that). The list goes on and on. I am so sad that the planning process is over and that I don't get to talk to her every week. When prep was all said and done Monique made our wedding day perfect. I really could not asked for a better day. Everything I did worry about did not matter. I wish I had listened to her when she told me that. At the end of the day people are going to people and you cannot control everything... so let your planner! Just kidding. Listen to Monique when she says something is not going to matter. She knows what she is doing. Anyways, Christopher and I will be forever grateful for Monique and highly recommend her & Lovely Event Co to anyone who is getting married.
We hired Dana and her team for day of coordinating. Her team did an amazing job bringing all of the details together. I had a very complicated number of decor needs and they killed...
every single one. Our timeline ran perfect and Dana made sure we were fed and well hydrated all night. Dana is also not afraid to tell you when you are wrong which is 100% what you need when you are in the bridal clouds going crazy planning. One factor you do not think about is boxing up all the decor after. My decor had to travel from Dallas back to KC and her team packed everything so perfect, nothing broke or shifted in transit. That is unreal! Best decision was hiring Dana!
Dana and her team helped us have the wedding day of our dreams. From the second we hired Lovely Event Co, we were so relieved to have someone we trusted completely. Dana always too...
k the time to listen to our concerns and came up with creative solutions for us many times. She took so much stress off of us and clearly communicated with our vendors and venue while keeping us in the loop, but not overwhelming us with many of the behind the scenes details. If anything went wrong during the wedding day, we had no idea because Dana and her team addressed it. Thank you Dana for giving us the perfect wedding day!
Dana and her team were absolutely amazing and made the whole day so special! I cannot express how much stress it took off of me and my family to have them coordinate the day and th...
e lead-up to the wedding! I was a very busy law student and sometimes did not have time to handle planning until later in the night. Dana was always courteous to my schedule and would often go out of her way to schedule around my fiance and me! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and went off without any hitches! Everyone who spoke to us afterward described the day with one word: "magical".
I had the opportunity to work with Dana from Lovely Event Co. and she truly was the best thing that could have happened to our wedding. Her communication, kindness, and her eye for...
detail and knowing what you want as the bride did not go unnoticed through the whole process. The planning of months up to the actual wedding day, her and her team did a phenomenal job. I could not recommend Dana and Lovely Event Co. more!
We used Lovely Events Co to help us plan our daughters out of state wedding. The partial planning option was just what we needed. Elizabeth had the perfect temperament to work wit...
h for both the bride to be and Mother of the bride, calming our fears, encouraging, educating, assisting, directing, supporting, and providing resources to us that we greatly appreciated and really needed. Their presence and expertise assisting us in the decision making was so helpful. The professionalism was top notch. The day of the wedding was fun and low stress knowing that Elizabeth and her assistants had everything under control so we could fully enjoy ourselves. Thank you Lovely Events Co.
There aren’t enough good things to say about Dana and Lovely Event Co. From the day we met Dana, it was evident that not only would she be a perfect fit, but that she would take ca...
re of every detail of every part of the process. Dana exhibited extreme professionalism and incredible communication. She made sure to have regular zoom meetings to discuss details and next steps, provided extremely detailed checklists, and consistently made sure we knew exactly what was needed or what she was working on for us. Dana made sure that our wedding day was exactly what we wanted and that it was catered perfectly to us as a couple. She spent time with us on trips to the venue and tastings, and even went out of her way to find and create personalized decor for us. On the wedding day itself, Dana and her team were impeccable with timing, coordination, and making sure everything was perfect. There wasn’t a worry in my mind the entire process or wedding day, which is a priceless feeling itself. Dana was more than just our planner, but became a friend as well that we will miss working with dearly. Without hesitation, I recommend her and Lovely Event Co to anyone who needs a wedding planner that can be trusted to bring your entire vision to life!
When my daughter became engaged, it filled by heart with joy and I’ve truly taken to her fiancé, a wonderful man. My daughter started the process of planning the wedding and I quic...
kly witnessed the torment she was going through but further, without the aid of a Wedding Planner / Coordinator, she would also not enjoy her grand day, worrying about all the going’s on, of the day itself. Therefore, as a gift to my daughter and her fiancé, I began the process of interviewing planning professionals. I actually spoke with several and didn’t want to compromise on my personal expectations nor compromise on the experience of the Planner. I finally connected with Dana. One of the strongest attributes of any professional is the ability to listen without overriding the perspective client’s speech. Dana is outstanding at listening. Is a meticulous record keeper. I was very impressed with her ability to receive direction or requests and for it never to come up again, until a resolution was presented. Impressive ability! She was also able to provide the balance of what my daughter wanted without pushing an uncomfortable engagement. She was extremely respectful of the budget and stayed within it. Not once did she present a proposal that exceeded the budget or expectations. Its also a valuable asset to have a professional that has a string of vender professionals that know where their bread is buttered. Specifically, Dana’s list of venders are excellent and performed very well. If you are considering a Planner, you’re not just hiring the professional’s experience as a Planner but you’re also getting the management of the vender’s and insurance that they will perform, as the consequences for they’re poor performance will cost them jobs in the future (with the Planner’s firm). The venue was spread out on a large piece of property and her assistants were as hard working as Dana was. The day of the event, there were a lot of moving parts, not once was I concerned about anything happening incorrectly or out of balance from the expectations.
Thorough and Detailed: Along with Dana’s meticulous record keeping and planning, she employs software where the client (my daughter) is able to track the progress of the event’s planning. From budgeting, payments, due dates etc. All-encompassing tracking system. This can’t be undervalued. As the one writing the checks, I found it immensely beneficial and helpful to have this available. While I gather this may be the norm, her platform was easy to read, use and deploy, in short, the user-interface (UI) was outstanding. Personality: Dana and a strong, well balanced pro, simply put. She listens well, issues recommendations in a way that’s not intrusive and quite complimentary. She knows where the planning holes are and has a way of delivering in a confident way. Also, impressive. That said, one should not underestimate her kindness for a weakness. I witnessed her confident direction giving to the venders, the day of the event and its clear they respect her.
In closing, you can go on and plan an event, (not just a wedding) on your own. I don’t recommend it. Dana and her team is worth every penny and our gratuity spoke to our satisfaction. There is no doubt that we’ll be using Dana again. She’s able to plan / coordinate destination events, well beyond local events. Her experience is an asset that yields amazing results.
Thank you Dana for everything, you’re terrific!
Lovely Event Co. and Dana were the biggest BLESSING throughout wedding season. When my now-husband and I got engaged, I knew I wanted to hire a day of coordinator to help alleviate...
some of the stress of the big day. Then I found Lovely Event Co. and my life and the wedding planning changed for the better! Throughout the entire process, Dana kept us on track, helped me stay organized, and kept me sane. I could not say enough good things about Dana, and several of our guests came up to personally compliment how amazing our Dana and her team were. She made the day run so smooth and without a hitch! Our wedding day was truly the happiest day of our lives and we owe that to Lovely Event Co. <3
We chose Lovely Event Co and worked with Elizabeth! She worked closely with me and my now husband to create the most beautiful day! She is kind and very organized. She was always c...
onscious of our budget while ensuring we had quality vendors. She kept us on track through the planning process and gave good guidance and instruction. She was great during the planning and kept our stress levels low, the big day went off without a hitch! She and her team were very professional and kind to everyone. They got everything done in a timely manner and really helped make it a memorable experience. They could not have been a more perfect fit for our day.
Dana was the biggest help as our wedding coordinator! When she hopped on board it really helped things fall into place. She was knowledgeable about everything, took control of reac...
hing out to vendors and getting a timeline in place. Not only did she get a bug out of my veil before I walked down the aisle, but she also made sure a dog who wandered up while we were taking photos didn't step on my dress, but she also made the day run smoothly and I didn't have to worry about anything with her there. Working with her took a lot of stress out of wedding planning and I couldn't recommend her more!
Dana with Lovely Event Co is the absolutely amazing - I cannot express how grateful I am for having her by our side during the entire wedding process! Her professionalism and atten...
tion to detail is unparalleled. She took the time to understand our vision for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and then worked tirelessly to bring it to life.
Her communication was top-notch throughout the entire wedding planning process. Dana was always available to answer our questions, provide updates and offer valuable advice. Her expertise in the industry is evident - her ability to juggle all the moving pieces with ease made the entire process stress-free.
My favorite part in working with Dana was the warmth and enthusiasm she brings. She was genuinely invested in making our wedding weekend memorable and special. Dana’s commitment to excellence, creativity and unwavering support transformed our vision into the most magical reality that will be cherished for the rest of our lives.
Thank you Dana for making our wedding weekend the most joyous and incredible weekend imaginable!

ded, she had the information timely. The day of the wedding went seamlessly. It was a perfect day. She followed up throughout the evening to make sure that we didn’t have any issues. She is amazing and I would highly recommend Lovely Event Co. and Monique Provance.
Dana was the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for! From beginning to end, her professionalism, communication and attention to detail were impeccable. She sent weekly ch...
ecklists, scheduled regular Zoom meetings and even sent texts to both me and my husband to ensure that we were always on track with things. She kept consistent communication with us and our vendors (even when they were difficult). The day of the wedding, Dana was amazing!! From fixing the moms' corsages, helping me bustle my dress, and ensuring that all of our bags were in the getaway car, we couldn't have imagined the day without Dana. Even our guests raved about how amazing she was! Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Dana & Lovely Event Co. to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their special day worry-free & truly unforgettable!
Shannon Lepard was our lead planner that we hired while under RK Events, and she was great to work with. We had weekly calls to check in on progress and status, making sure we stay...
ed on track of due dates. She was a wealth of information and logistical help. We chose a partial planning service, as I am in the design field, and it was SO much help to have her recommend vendors for our budget and my vision. RK Events/ Lovely Event Co. uses Aisle Planner, which was one of my favorite tools! It houses a checklist to keep you on track, as well as everything you need to stay organized; down to layout out our assigned seating (if you have a seated dinner). We got married at the Dallas Arboretum, which poses a lot of logistical issues on load in and strike, and Shannon was great to execute it all in our small timeframe allotted. We are so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you Shannon!!
Dana stepped in to help assist my wedding two days before I walked down the aisle. Our original wedding planner dropped the ball and could not help the weekend of. Dana kept calm a...
nd listened to everything we needed done with a positive attitude. Dana even texted my husband and I days after the event to make sure we were happy. She absolutely crushed it, I wish we had her as our wedding planner from the start. Thank you for everything you did for us! I would highly recommending using Dana!

I never thought I needed a planner, oh boy was I wrong. For someone who has a very busy work schedule. Having Dana there to help with securing vendors and answering their questions...
, making preparations, was an absolute must. If you want less stress, doing one of the most stressful milestones in your life, hire a planner. And if you want a fantastic, kind and professional one, then I would recommend Dana to everyone, hands down.
Monique at RK Weddings & Events is the absolute BEST! I could not have done the entire process without her. We chose to do full planning and Monique was with us every step of the w...
ay during our year of engagement/planning. Monique is so incredibly knowledgeable of everything you could ever think of when it comes to weddings. My now husband and I work full time, as well as my parents and we were initially overwhelmed of having to plan a wedding in Dallas where neither us or family lives. As soon as we met with Monique and started working together I knew I would feel no stress! Monique was always quick to respond or quick to get questions answered from herself or vendors. She gave amazing vendor suggestions in Dallas, as we had zero experience with weddings before and live out of town. She helped us pick the perfect vendors which made the actual day so perfect!
Never during the planning process did I feel overly stressed or anxious, even the week before and week of! I attribute that 100% to Monique! People would ask me if I was stressed for last minute planning and I would always say, “Nope, my amazing planner Monique has got it!”
The day of the wedding was an actual dream. Monique took care of EVERYTHING so the only thing I had to do was show up. She did so incredible and went above and beyond. Our ceremony and reception space were absolutely incredible—Monique and the vendors made it more beautiful than I could have thought possible. It was just the perfect day.
Monique is the BEST! Thank you RK for sharing the amazing talent of Monique! You will not be disappointed! Monique, we love you and thank you! ❤️
We had the best time working with Monique at RK Weddings. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly the day of, and she helped us navigate the complex planni...
ng process. We decided to use a wedding planner since we were not originally from Dallas, and were lost in the sea of wedding vendors. Monique gave us recommendations, and advice when it came to the little things that many people forget to include at a wedding. Monique made our wedding smooth, and my Husband and I were able to relax to really take in the excitement of the day. Thank you Monique for everything!
HIRE THESE PLANNERS. Rachael was my planner and she was absolutely unreal. She knew the answer to all of my questions, suggested countless incredible vendors, and basically held my...
hand throughout the whole wedding process - I needed it. She is the queen of weddings and will handle any bumps in the road with knowledge and grace. She is a calming presence and has years of experience. She even pulled off a last minute (day before) venue change and literally saved our wedding. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than Rachael and her team. Family and friends are still talking about our wedding, saying it was the best they have ever been to! That is all because of Rachael and her team. I am better for knowing her!
Every person I was in contact with was great. Meeting with Rachel first was a great intro to the company. I felt confident that we had found the right people. Once I met Shannon, w...
e instantly clicked and I feel her personality complimented mine perfectly! She was able to keep me grounded when I would get too carried away with ideas. But she also was so encouraging and supportive with all my ideas.
We had booked the partial planning package pretty early on in our planning. But she would check in at least every month and see how everything was. Once we got a lot closer, she would check in multiple times via email and was always available via text. We had most of our vendors, but our favorite ones were actually the ones she had found for us! She was a vital part of our wedding as there were multiple problems that came up. She handled them swiftly and let my husband and I truly enjoy our special night. We loved working with Shannon and feel we couldn’t have done it without her.
We also used their hotel blocking service. Monique was great and very communicative! There was an issue with the liaison for the hotels we used, but she was so helpful in resolving that problem. Overall, it was a very helpful service. The hotels we chose were 30 minutes away from our venue.
Overall, we’re so happy and externally grateful to the whole RK weddings team. There’s no replacement for their expertise and guidance!
I cannot express my gratitude enough for Dana. She hands down was the most amazing and organized wedding planner ever. From day one she was so great to work with ensuring she had a...
checklist for me to work through months before the big day. On the big day, everything went so smoothly and she stayed so calm (and kept me calm all throughout the day which is crucial!). She truly is so kind and wonderful and I just cannot rave about her enough. Hire her if you want the perfect wedding day!

Jessie at RK Events was absolutely incredible. Being an extremely 'type A' bride who's known for overthinking and stressing over every single detail, Jessie truly was a godsend the...
entire year of planning and the day of the wedding. She was so calm, responsive, and on top of everything from day one. She helped confirm vendors, negotiate contracts, re-confirm timelines and details, and made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible (and everything honestly couldn't have gone smoother thanks to her help). My husband and I are so appreciative of Jessie and everything she did for us this year. She made our wedding day as close to perfect as possible and our entire experience truly wouldn't have been the same without her. We love you Jessie!!! Thank you for all that you do.
Dana was absolutely amazing! She made sure that I had everything organized and in order for the wedding. It was hard working full time and then having to wedding plan on top of tha...
t, but Dana made it all super easy for me. I would 100% recommend choosing her as your wedding planner!!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with RK Weddings and Rachel in particular. Our wedding was across the country, so we needed to rely heavily on Rachel for her ...
vendor connections, knowledge of the area, years of experience, etc. She kept us on track with all of our to-do's from start to finish, I truly don't know what we would have done without her. On our wedding day she ensured everything was stress-free for my husband and I, there were issues that arose that we were both completely unaware of - she graciously handled on her own allowing us to enjoy the day w/o worrying or stress. Now that it's all over I'm going to miss seeing her and our regular zoom calls! Seriously, book her if you need a planner!!
