TLDR: Good, not great.
Dominique was very helpful in identifying certain vendors (e.g., caterers, rentals) and helping us keep costs reasonable, even in light of a somewhat difficult venue. The caterer and flower company she brought us to ended up being much much much better than the caterer our venue recommended. However, her vendor relationships and recommendations in other areas weren't as varied and extensive (especially in terms of price point options) as I would have hoped and as a result we ended up finding a DJ and photographer from friends' recommendations instead. And she didn't gut check the budget as thoroughly as I was expecting based on our conversation about budget management, leading us to vastly underbudget for tips based on the recommendations she only shared wedding weekend.
I would say Dominique was good at the basics and got them handled. But she was not as detail-oriented and on top of the other vendors as I would have liked, either in advance of the wedding or day of (no major issues, but some more attentiveness and detail orientation could have headed off a couple minor issues).
As a bride who wanted our planner to take charge and be the project manager and expert in the space, I felt the need to step in more than I wanted to. For our rehearsal, Dominique had given a call time for us and our guests of a half hour before the rehearsal was supposed to start. But she showed up right at the time the rehearsal was set to begin, without explanation or apology. And then during the rehearsal, she didn't seem to have a clear plan about what we would rehearse and how to approach things, which led me to step in and our party to be confused at times. There were little details that I'd expect an experienced planner to consider (e.g., bringing the flower girl's basket and something for her to practice with) that didn't happen.
I had a fantastic experience with Dominique as my coordinator! I love that her Day-Of coordination is actually more like month-of. It was really nice to have her help out with vendor communications starting 6 weeks out and the creation of the timeline and table layout. I DIY’ed a lot so it was great to have her help!. She worked with me to make a backup layout 3 days before when the forecast was severe thunderstorms for my mostly outdoor wedding day (luckily, the rain missed us for the most part and I still got to get married outside!). The rehearsal went smoothly and we were able to practice a few times and ask any last minute questions. Then the day of our wedding, she helped to make everything go smoothly. Our ceremony started on time, and our music was queued perfectly, and I never once heard of any issues with any other setup. I was able to relax and enjoy the day! She was also great at keeping an eye on all of my vendors. She even noticed when my caterer left early and emailed them after the wedding to request a refund for the missed time.
I am so glad we got a coordinator and I’m even more glad we went with PHOX!
Dominique and team were amazing - they made our day run so smoothly and they made the planning process easy! Could not recommend them ENOUGH for your special day!
We got married this July and had the absolute best time thanks to the Phox Events Team!
Had a super easy going day from ceremony to reception. We loved our wedding day and I'm glad Dominique made it happy!
Thank you for making our dream wedding come true!
Dominique and her staff were knowledgeable, attentive to our needs throughout the process, and helped make our wedding a truly successful. Thank you for everything.
Hiring Dominique as our full service planner was the number one most important thing we did for our wedding! I really can’t say enough good things about Dominique and PHOX. Every single vendor recommendation she had was excellent, especially our fantastic venue, which we had never heard of before she suggested it. Every detail was meticulously planned, and any issues that came up were fixed before I even found out about them. I am a very anxious person and a bit of a control freak. I’m not kidding when I say there were weeks on end that I wouldn’t even think about planning, because I just knew Dominique had it handled. She got things done far in advance, managing our planning timeline and budget seamlessly. In the two months leading up to the wedding, people kept asking if I was stressed and I could honestly say…not at all! On the big day, I could fully be in the moment and enjoy. Any unexpected mishaps were handled immediately by Dominique and her team. If I needed something, she appeared by my side within 30 seconds, like magic. Throughout the planning process a couple larger issues came up with vendors, and Dominique stepped up to not only fix the problem, but work out an even better solution than the original plan. Beyond her outstanding professionalism, Dominique is such a kind person. She listens, calms you down, and makes you feel like the most overwhelming day of your life is going to be wonderful no matter what, she’ll make sure of it.
We got linked up with Dominique through our venue. She was incredibly helpful in the final planning and during the day-of. She even helped us save some money money (and time!) on table cloths. We really couldn't have done it without her and her team.
I couldn’t be more grateful that I heard about PHOX Events for our wedding. From the first interaction to day-of, Dominique exceeded expectations in every way - she’s always on time, incredibly helpful, highly organized, thorough, and responsive.
In many ways, we had no idea what we were doing, and Dominique not only provided a great vendor referral list, but walked us effortlessly through the process. She thought of the things we never would have considered and it made all the difference.
Calm, cool, and collected, you want her by your side on your big day. Her and her team were amazing at setting up our day for success - all vendors delivered whether we knew about the hiccups or not, we stuck to the schedule but never felt rushed, our dessert table shined many thanks to her, and the day turned out more beautiful and perfect than we ever could have imagined.
Many of our guests even remarked on her flawless execution - always present but never intruding. She rushed to the side of my niece when she fell off her chair during dinner, she checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed throughout the day, and her and Crystal shut the place down when we were ready to continue the celebration elsewhere.
PHOX is INCREDIBLE. Thank you!
I got married recently in December 2022 and hiring Dominque at Phox Wedding and Events as my planner was one of the best decisions I made. She was extremely communicative and patient throughout the entire process. I was impressed with her event planning expertise and how well she managed all of our vendors. She really did execute our wedding vision perfectly and helped us keep it well below budget. Best of all, thanks to Dominique and her team's hard work I never once felt like I had to worry about any of the details and just got to enjoy my wedding day. If you are looking for a great wedding planner, reach out to her and her team. THANK YOU DOMINIQUE!
Hire PHOX events to plan your wedding and you will not be disappointed.
It was such a pleasure working with Dominique to plan our wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process Dominique was so down to earth, professional, and incredibly invested in making our wedding day the most special experience possible. Going into the planning process, my husband and I were both pretty lost on how it all works and all that goes into planning a wedding, (if you are new to this then trust me when I say there is a lot more magic worked behind the scenes than I would’ve imagined). Fortunately, Dominique entertained all of our basic and absurd questions, was incredibly patient with us as we navigated figuring out what we wanted (with great advice to help us make decisions when needed), and helped ease any concerns that came up throughout the process.
She was also an incredible support in keeping us on top of the tasks we needed to get done. For example, she set realistic deadlines for when we needed to hire certain vendors by in order to secure the catering, florist, photographer, DJ, etc. Her suggestions were on point, especially (small shoutout) when she suggested we hire Brio Photography - we are so thrilled with how the photos turned out.
The day of the wedding she was like a magician in that she orchestrated the whole process with just the right amount of involvement. She showed up early, was there when I needed her and she was behind the scenes as I enjoyed this special day with my husband, family and friends. She worked seamlessly and tirelessly with the vendors and took care of any problems before they even reached me. Throughout the wedding planning process and the day of coordination, Dominique was a calm, caring guide who really made this day happen for us. The most important thing you need to know about working with Dominique is that this day was the most special day of our lives, for both me and my husband, and she played a huge role in making it turn out the way it did. I can only hope that everyone gets a chance to have this kind of experience for their wedding because there is truly nothing else like it. Thank you so much, Dominique!! You rock!!
I had no idea where to begin when planning a wedding. Luckily, I found Dominique. She made the wedding process so fun. She gave us incredible recommendations, which we hired for the wedding. We had a vision and she helped us make it happen. She made sure the day ran smoothly and was ready for anything. Some family stuff came up and she was very understanding. she was calm, so I was calm. We had a vendor last minute not work out and she quickly found an amazing replacement. I decided last minute to do a surprise dance for my groom and she found the perfect time to do it. All her suggestions for the wedding were awesome! If you are wondering if you need a wedding planner or not… trust me you need Dominique.
Dom, if you are reading this. Thank you a million times. The day was perfect. We can’t stop smiling and tearing up when we think about it. Even my mom noticed how helpful you were on the big day.
When we first met Dominique, we knew she was going to be great to work with! My mom and I wanted zero stress the day of the wedding and we felt confident that we were in good hands. Dominique is experienced, professional, organized, knowledgeable, and she truly cares. She really takes charge and does everything in her power, leading up to the big day and in all the preparation beforehand, to make sure everything runs smoothly. I am so grateful for Dominique and would absolutely recommend her to family and friends!
We hired Dominque and her crew for the wedding 9 months prior. I wanted someone who would take care of everything from the beginning to the end. She did an exceptional job the whole way! I am not great at remembering dates and appointments but Dominique was always there to keep new on my toes. Definitely would recommend hiring her for your event! She not only became my wedding coordinator but she becomes your friend, which when you get married is exactly what you want helping you to the end. Thank you Dominique for everything, you made my day that much sweeter!
Dominique was a dream. Going into wedding planning, I knew I needed someone who would have my back, and really be a partner/collaborator in planning my dream wedding. Dominique was that and more - she was creative, funny and wasn't afraid to reel me back in when I was spinning my wheels on something I shouldn't be. She was my sanity when I was in fully stressed out crazy bride mode. My table decor was something I was beyond picky about, but I couldn't bring it to life without Dominique there to bounce ideas off of. On my wedding day she was the fiercest boss lady making sure every vendor was rocking it, and everything was going well. The tables came out better than I could have envisioned. People have asked me what was one thing that went wrong at the wedding... I've tried so hard to think about it... Nothing is my answer.. absolutely nothing... and thats how amazing Dominique and the phox events team is. I would hire her and do this all over again in a heartbeat <3
Dominique was extremely responsive during our planning and helpful on our big day. She made sure everything ran just as it was supposed to and coordinated all of my times with the vendors and made our big day run flawlessly! If you need a day of coordinator make sure to check our PHOX Weddings and Events!
We loved working with Dominique so much. She was supportive and kind, and had a great balance of giving suggestions and going along with our requests and vibe. She is a bang for your buck, and also just fun to be around!
Dominque is extremely professional, detail-oriented, organized, flexible, creative, positive, and truly caring. If you think you don’t need her, you are soooo wrong! She thought of things I would have never thought of, planned for every second, but was flexible when plans needed to change. Our outdoor wedding rained, my dad was an hour late to walk me down the aisle, and our caterer forgot to make food! Some how Dominique turned it around, thought on her feet how to make everything right. Thinking about our wedding I tell everyone, I could’ve gone without anything else. There could have been no food, no officiant, no photographer, but I could not have enjoyed my wedding as much as I did without our coordinator. I am not only grateful that I had a wedding coordinator, we are so glad we had Dominique. If she is available for your day, take her!! You are meant to be blessed
Dominique served as a day-of planner for my wedding at Mattie’s at Green Pastures in Austin and I have nothing but praise for the services that she provided. Planning a wedding from out of state in only two months was a terrifying experience until I met Dominique.
Dominique met with us twice before the wedding and responded to numerous email inquiries. She was a calming, professional presence in a situation that required fast decision making for a short timeline. Her experience in different aspects of the wedding business was an invaluable resource. She had an extensive list of vendor contacts, and I loved how she verified their availability before passing along their information to us; this would have saved me so much time if I had hired her earlier in the planning process!
I am one hundred percent sure that without Dominique, I would have spent the entire wedding worrying about every detail; instead, I remained blissfully unaware of minor hiccoughs as Dominque handled them discreetly. Here is just a short list of some of the items that Dominique managed: pinning on the corsages and boutonnieres, transporting floral arrangements to the on-site reception space, floofing the dress train before the processional, making announcements to direct guests to the reception space, hooking up my phone to a sound system to play a playlist from my phone during dinner, announcing the toasts, and making sure that my overnight bag made it into the getaway car. All of these seemingly small tasks allowed me to really enjoy my wedding day, and that is something that I cannot put a price tag on. Hiring Dominique was one of the best wedding investments that I made, and I highly recommend her services to any future bride.
My wife and I had a professional and brilliant coordinator with Dominique at PHOX. She was there with us every step of the way during our wedding planning, guiding us through every detail in the process and executing them with spirit and efficiency. She put so much of her time and energy into being there for us and communicating; we would frankly have been lost without her. We only have good things to say about Dominique, who puts the comfort of her clients first. The gratitude that my wife and I feel for her service has certainly been shared by others and will continue to be for many, many couples in the future.
I just simply can’t say enough good praises about Dominique. She kept my sanity intact throughout the last few months of the planning process and on my wedding day. I hate planning parties, so my wedding planning wasn’t exactly fun for me lol. Not only did she make sure everything was going to plan leading up to the day, but would help me with all my annoying questions and give opinions regarding decor, etc (I was struggling with that and needed her beautiful eye for that!) She also caught a HUGE discrepancy in my contract with the venue, and got that ironed out with them seamlessly and quickly. On my wedding day, so many commented that I seemed so calm and relaxed, but it was only because I knew she was in the background making sure everything was taken care of. She’s very breezy and down to earth which makes her easy to work with, but also knows what she’s doing, organized, and thorough. Just the perfect person to do this job. Highly highly recommend!!! Thank you soooo much Dominique for everything you do!!!
I wish I could give Dominique MORE than 5 stars. She was an absolute gem of a find. My husband and I interviewed countless coordinators and many of them seemed to push us to take packages that weren't really what we needed or asked for. When I set up the call to talk with Dominique and PHOX events, I was expecting the call to go like so many others that I had already had. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Dominique was genuine, bubbly, and made me feel calm and at peace. I knew that she was the one for us immediately following our conversation.
NOW - let's get to where she really shined. For the weeks leading up to the wedding, Dominque handled all communications with our vendors to ensure that all were on the same page. During our wedding weekend, Dominque helped to coordinate a last-minute rehearsal at the venue and took any pertinent decorations home to bring with her the next day to make it easier on us. The morning of, she promptly arrived and literally took care of EVERYTHING. She even offered to bring some of her own decor to help spruce up the aisles of our venue.
After what was the most perfect ceremony and reception (even amid a COVID crisis within our families), Dominique packaged up all of our decor and brought it to my mother-in-law and truly helped to make our wedding night one where we could focus on being with family and friends and not worrying about a single detail. She HAD IT COVERED. She even made me take off my heels when I could literally not walk anymore. Haha! She made sure I brought flats with me and couldn't stand to see me miserable in the bridal suite.
While it may be tempting to hire a coordination company that is "established" or "well-known", my husband and I are were so happy that we found Dominqiue and PHOX events. We found out that she took a leap of faith and started this company during the pandemic so when we hired her, there weren't many reviews on wedding websites to go off of. I cannot stress enough that we were so happy that we hired her to be a part of our big day. Dominique - if you're reading this - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for everything you did for us. You will always have a special place in our hearts.
If you want someone who has it handled, Dominique is your gal. She genuinely cares about making your day the perfect day and she will work her butt of to make it happen. I would refer anyone to her!
Phox Events, Dominique, planned our wedding twice (due to the pandemic) and did so without skipping a beat. Please hire Phox events for all your event needs, can not say this enough. Our wedding this May of 100 guests exceeded our expectations due to the level of detail and effort Dominique put into it. She surprised us with synchronizing our music between when the ceremony music ended and the Mariachi band started for cocktail hour as we walked out of the aisle. Who thinks this through?!? No one, but Phox events. And Dominique did so on a day’s notice due to us having to switch to rain plan. She was able to communicate with our vendors the rain plan and us be able to enjoy our rehearsal dinner and wedding day without interruptions. We felt taken care of from the start of the planning process until our wedding day. Thank you Phox events for making our wedding day exceptional and going above and beyond.
Dominique was so friendly and reliable throughout our entire wedding process. We had a lot of last-minute changes but she was on top of everything always. I can’t imagine how it all would have gone without her. She also gave us a lot of extremely valuable advice throughout the process based on her vast experience.
Dominique was the best her customer service was very professional and friendly. She made our day worry free and stress free. Everything ran so smooth and on time. I highly recommend her services and can't wait to have service again for my daughter's Quinceanera.
