Occasions & Co

sy as a very anxious bride! I never knew of any drama or problems with other vendors! His team had the sweetest compliments to the bridal party and parents, Ashley was AMAZING and worked her tail off to help in every way possible, even with the craziest of things, like entertaining my 9 month old baby!!!  Truly cannot recommend Blake and his group enough! It was the best day ❤️ 

decision. It's true when they say that something will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day. It happens! It's a huge undertaking with lots of moving parts and lots of people involved and it's easy for something big or small to slip through the cracks. But would you rather be the bride frantically rushing to figure out who to send to the store to find a suit because the best man's brother accidentally brought the wrong suit that was a completely different color than the groom and groomsmen... or be the bride who is happily getting ready in the other room, none-the-wiser, and doesn't even know that this misstep happened, was entirely avoided, and flawlessly resolved to the point that you couldn't even tell a difference between the suits until after you and your new husband have said your "I-do's" and the ceremony has already happened? Because this was a huge thing that actually happened during the morning of mine and my husband's wedding day. Blake, Frida, and everyone on the team that had a helping hand in the day were the ones there to swoop in and make sure that even with this, everything still ran SEAMLESSLY, and I, the bride, hadn't a worry in the world! Without them? I can't imagine the panic I might have felt. Day-of aside, leading up to the day, my now husband and I worked closely with Blake and left every meeting with smiles on our faces and weights lifted off our shoulders. Blake is a true professional who excels at his craft with care, kindness, attention to detail, and an uncanny ability to see and execute the vision you have for your day. As many others have stated in other similar reviews already, just as he did with everyone, Blake answered all questions thoroughly and in a timely manner, he was the organization my chaotic bride brain needed, he was understanding of concerns and quelled the fears with actionable plans and comforting words, and he and his team truly went above and beyond anything I could have expected. On the day, Frida was by our side and saw to our every need sometimes even before we knew we had a need! She was a constant, comforting presence, guiding us through the day and ensuring things ran smoothly according to the timeline that we had put together with Blake. Occasions & Co. were the support system that we knew we wanted from the very first interaction, and we couldn’t be happier having worked with them. They did everything and more with smiles and grace. You will not regret hiring Blake and his team!!

s team did an absolutely phenomenal job of taking that stress off my plate leading up to the wedding!  If I had an issue that I couldn’t find a solution for in a timely manner, I would go to Blake and he would come to me almost immediately with a solution, and it was such a relief to know that a lot of that could be taken off my plate leading up to the day of. Not to mention his excitement over my wedding helped me get excited for it as well.  I’m sure there’s always something that goes wonky at weddings, but even in the midst of that, they did their absolute best to keep stress and problems away from me while also still maintaining that same excitement for my wedding that they had been since the beginning. Having them constantly show that excitement made it easier for me to relax, he was also constantly reassuring me the day of which was very needed and appreciated. I’m so extremely thankful for everything that they did for me and my wedding turned out beautiful, there’s no way it could’ve been so lovely without them!

more. I didn't even know there was a mistake with the catering until later and it had all been handled by Blake and his team. I was so grateful for them and all they did in handling everything. They were always so lovely, so professional, and made sure my wedding was exactly what I wanted. I've always heard that weddings cost a lot and to not get a planner to save money, but if I had to do it again I would hire Blake and his team over and over again. They are worth it.

de for our wedding. From the start, Blake went above and beyond. He checked in regularly, answered every question I had, and made sure every detail was in order leading up to the big day. Every email was answered promptly, every change I made was met with positivity, and I always felt like he was just a call or message away. He created a perfect day-of timeline and coordinated seamlessly with every single vendor. The moment Blake took over communication, I felt an instant wave of relief. And then there’s Frida - my GIRL. From the moment she arrived at the venue until we drove away in our getaway car, she was right by my side, making sure everything ran flawlessly. Somehow, she managed to be everywhere at once - setting up, coordinating with vendors, troubleshooting, and yet still making me feel like I was her only priority. My husband and I always had a drink in hand, our needs were anticipated before we even voiced them, and everything around us came together effortlessly. When a couple of vendors I had booked separately dropped the ball, Frida handled it with grace and professionalism, making sure everything stayed on track. She was a dream to work with, and I truly owe so much of our perfect day to her. If you’re reading this, do yourself a favor and hire Occasions & Co. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for - and more - because of them. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat for any future event. If I could go back in time, the only thing I’d do differently would be to hire them for full-service planning from the start! ❤️

ordinator, and all-around support system! From the minute we started working with Blake, the “stress” of a big wedding ceased to be an issue for me and my daughter. His preferred vendors were fantastic, and we used his videographer Chevy (incredible), his DJ (Chris Brown), his transportation recommendation (AJL), and the fabulous hair and make-up team (Grand Slam Glam). The team at Occasions had helped plan every detail (the timeline was a lifesaver) and Blake had told me repeatedly that there was nothing for me to worry about that day – they had us. And he was right! I loved every minute of the day with my daughter and feel so lucky that this wonderful team helped us give Molly the wedding of her dreams! I can’t recommend Occasions & Co. highly enough and have told several of her bridesmaids from the wedding when they asked who the best in the business is – they make dreams come true!

nd they did just that! Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. On the day of the wedding, their calming presence, professionalism, and positivity made all the difference. They not only kept everything on schedule but did it in a way that felt effortless. I didn’t have to worry about a thing — I was able to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment. They were a huge part of why the day was so magical, and I’ll forever be grateful. If you’re considering hiring them — do it! You’ll be in the best hands.

he day began, Frida checked in on me at every opportunity—even if I was just walking by, she made sure I had everything I needed and let me relax and enjoy the day. As a bride, it was such a relief to entrust full responsibility to someone outside our family or wedding party—professional, proactive, and compassionate. If anything went awry or didn’t look quite right, I had complete trust in their expertise and creative problem-solving. Blake’s calm leadership and Frida’s thoughtful attention to detail kept everything on track without any stress. If you're looking for peace of mind, professionalism, and a team that truly cares about your day, I highly recommend Occasions & Co.—they made our wedding experience utterly stress-free and unforgettable.

ne of the reasons I chose Blake was he stated “unlimited communication” in his description, and boy did he give it! I emailed him so many times in the months leading up to the wedding and he was always quick to respond. He has great advice and vendor recommendations. He took over all the vendor communications for the last month, and all the stress with it, so we could enjoy those last days before the wedding. Both he and Frida worked tirelessly on the day of to bring all our visions together. We did have rain, and the team was great in pivoting with the schedule, our guests never even knew there were any issues. They are the first to arrive at the venue and the last to leave, and they made the day so incredible!

t - first ones there, last to leave, timeline planning, seating chart, responding quickly to all my questions, unlimited phone calls, coordinating all the vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding so I could have less stress, and making my vision come to life. I had absolutely nothing to be stressed about on the day of the wedding! Also, Blake made sure to take care of us during the entire day and night, making sure we had drinks at all times and moved around the schedule as necessary. I can assure you that Occasions is one of the greatest decisions we made for the wedding. Such a great team and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a coordinator for their wedding!

s was the best gift I gave myself and having him as the contact person for all of my other vendors took a lot off of my to do list. They did an exceptional job of setting up the decorations without my having to micro-manage every detail. Blake also worked well with my venue event planner to get us space to store the decorations after the wedding. When Frida followed me around so she could hold my glasses while we took pictures all the while handing me water to stay hydrated, I truly felt like a princess. I truly wish I could hire them to be my everyday assistant!

hin 24 hours (but commonly within only minutes to a few hours). Frida and Shea who we worked with the day of the wedding were so patient, calm, and I could not be more thankful to how much they helped direct everyone (including myself!) throughout the entire day. These people are truly professionals and so pleasant to work with. They made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible with no hiccups! They truly helped to make our special day perfect!

g up to our wedding was phenomenal. He always made sure to answer the phone or text back quickly. He listened to ideas and gave me feedback. 10/10 recommend

ndor and were dependable. Blake took every phone call from us and took the time to help with all of our questions and nerves. We really cannot say enough about them and how magical they helped our day/night to be! We will 100% recommend them to everyone!!

e is a gross understatement. Alex is a superstar. She is highly organized, detail-oriented, and effective, on top of being a simply wonderful person. She coordinated a 450-person multicultural wedding for us, and both my husband and I were blown away by how smoothly our day went. Our wedding had a large number of vendors and variables, and I'm sure things went wrong behind the scenes, but as the bride, the evening was completely seamless. Alex checked in on us throughout the evening and was patient, kind, and cheerful despite the long day. I can't sing her and the rest of the team's praises enough. We were lucky to work with them, and you would be too!

minute of our daughter’s wedding because of their management. Every detail, from ceremony and reception set up were perfect. They kept the schedule on track and moved seamlessly from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. They were quick to respond and communicate. Additionally, Blake and Alex were so personable and pleasant! Highly Recommend !!!!

ere they needed to be, when they needed to be. They made sure the day was so stress free for me and my husband. I only booked them for day of coordination but from the moment i hired them, i was able to reach out with questions. They never made me feel like i was a bother and they got back to me so quick each time. They went above and beyond to make sure the decorations were perfectly placed, the caterer and all the vendors were taken care of, and they even packed everything up for me. I cant speak highly enough of them, book them!!

as always easy to reach and very patient with our many questions. He was super communicative throughout the entire engagement period. He gave great recommendations for vendors too. Even if we decided to go with other vendors, he was extremely professional and took everything in-stride. He was highly organized: he kept detailed notes for all our requests and meetings and ensured we were always aware of how things were progressing by using a Trello board, which was extremely assuring! I’m a Type A perfectionist, so I was worried about leaving everything in someone else’s hands but it was SO SO easy to relax because I knew he was taking care of it. I couldn’t recommend a more competent wedding planner. If you’re on the fence or even just starting your search for a wedding planner, I can confidently say your search is done! You found the best! Blake and his team won’t let you down!

e coordinator, but quickly found that having Blake on the team was a lifesaver. One of the rare services Blake provides that other day-of coordinators do not is set up and break down of your venue. Many other planners tacked on $500+ for these tasks -- Blake simply included it in his very affordable package. I would recommend Blake and his team to every bride in the DFW area looking for a reliable, responsive, and friendly team. My bridesmaids cannot stop talking about how awesome he was getting them drinks and snacks during picture-taking.

ery complex and stressful wedding planning experience and made it achievable, while prioritizing our vision and our happiness. I loved how he started each call with "What is stressing you out? What can I take off of your plate?" They provide a lot of services in-house as well (can make signs, design and print stationary, rentals for centerpieces, floral arrangements, etc.) which is way better than looking for a different vendor for each thing you need AND great quality as well. If you're thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator - give this company a call! Don't walk, RUN! :)

in-control. However, I could not recommend Occasions enough. We hired Blake for month-of coordination, which wound up being exactly when I was losing my mind and needed help the most! I am stunned that we got Blake and his team with their skill level and amazing service for the price that we did. They were our angels the entire month before the wedding and on the day. We had an entire team of 3 catering to our every need. They asked lots of amazing questions to get to know us and our personalities and very clearly used that to guide how they managed and handled everything. They managed all vendors and timelines leading up to the day (we had already hired everyone and Blake took over communication), they set up ALL of the decor (my family and I DIY-ed almost everything), and they executed my vision perfectly. Blake attended our final meeting with the venue and DJ and was polite, sitting back to let me lead, but pushed back and supported me to make sure I got exactly what I wanted when it was needed. In cases where decisions needed to be made and I felt overwhelmed, Blake made suggestions and made the decisions feel lighter. I emailed and texted Blake thoughts and vendor needs at the most random times and he kept track of everything and made sure to remind me (so gently and sweetly) when I was supposed to submit something. Blake even picked up all of our decor and our alcohol order for us before the wedding to deliver to the venue on wedding day. The whole experience went so smoothly and I cannot imagine having done it without Blake. We even had an unexpected security lockdown in the neighborhood during the actual wedding…and the Occasions team made sure not only that we were safe, but that only the critical people knew and the party kept going. I had no idea til my mom told me the next day, and I had a complete worry-free blast. Blake and his team are the best and made my wedding a dream. If you are on the fence, don’t be. Hiring OED was the best wedding decision that we made.

ry detail was just as we envisioned. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and coordination skills were exceptional. They made wedding day stress-free and magical, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment! I highly recommend this team for anyone seeking high quality wedding coordination services.

ver could have pulled off my daughter's beautiful wedding without your help! Thank you.

he wedding to organize, direct the vendors , followed the program well and was always there when you needed her. So energetic and happy to help. She made our wedding day easy. The only disappointment was TJ's assistant . I think her assistant's name was Alison, she was nice and helpful at the beginning of the event but during the event she left because her brother went missing which was completely understandable, then she returned to the event, as it was a false alarm. Then she disappeared before the event came to an end, without telling anyone even TJ. The end of the event is when help is needed the most and Alison was no where to be found and because of that, my husband and I had to help TJ remove and pack items from the venue, as it was too much reorganizing for TJ to do by herself. so on our wedding night we had to work. To TJ alone 5 stars to her assistant 3 stars .

for this amazing team. Blake was an absolute hero for us several times, going above and beyond the call of duty when COVID, venue closures, and weather threw a wrench into our wedding plans. Blake also did the flowers for our ceremony and reception, and they were simply stunning- I got so many compliments on how beautiful my bouquet was! When we were finally able to celebrate our wedding, Blake and TJ crushed it; all of our decor and everything was set up perfectly, and we didn't have to worry about A THING the entire day. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to the team at OED and I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know for the foreseeable future.

They were professional, responsive to needs, creative, warm and friendly, responsive, reliable, and attentive to detail. I recommend them without reservation!

is no way we would have moved through the occasion as gracefully without Blake. This team is super attentive, responsive and amazingly organized which not only made the wedding beautiful, the wedding party was able to enjoy the festivities knowing the folks at Occasions Events & Design were all over the details! A great find and a pleasure to work with for sure!

as! They handled everything from the very beginning to the very end. Trust them! You won’t regret it! We can’t thank them enough!

e entire day ran seamlessly. I highly recommend his company to anyone who wants their day to be flawless!

inator and he absolutely far exceeded our expectations. He worked through every single aspect of our wedding with us and handled it with professionalism, expediency, and care. He provided us references for vendors, contract review services, task management, excellent communication and so much more. Planning our wedding was so much fun and was incredibly easy because I had Blake to oversee everything. The Occasions team ensured that we had the prefect wedding day and I can't thank them enough for all of their hard work. From start to finish it was the most wonderful experience working with Blake and Occasions Events and Design.

d that we chose them, and I'd recommend Occasions to any bride!

smoother. I’m so glad I found Blake with Occasions Events + Design for my day of coordinator! He fit my tight budget, and even had a discount for the venue I got married at. The day of the wedding he did everything from running my morning of rehearsal, to setting up my decorations, to making sure my new husband and I got food during the reception. It was so nice not having to direct everything myself, and if there were any problems during the day, I didn’t hear about it!

sick, but he still showed up to make sure everything was set up correctly. Once things were in order he left to get some rest. Now some may start to panic, but Blake's two assistants picked up right where he left off and made sure our day went on without a hitch. Lisa the officiant was very friendly and did an amazing job officiating. Our ceremony was outdoors, it was 30 degrees and she didn't complain once about the cold. Although, I wouldn't blame her if she did. Occasions made our day absolutely perfect! I wholeheartedly recommend them!

we hit it off right away; so I hired him! It was the best choice I made when it came to planning my wedding and I was so relieved to have him help. Blake did pretty much all the planning and had great recommendations and designs. His table designs were beautiful, he was very thorough, organized, and quick to respond to texts, emails, and phone calls. I highly recommend Blake and his team for your event.

ectly smooth (which I'm sure was not the case but Blake being the professional he is fixed everything without me ever knowing there was an issue). I was able to just sit back and actually enjoy my wedding because I knew Blake had everything covered.

d recommend him.
