Ricardo Tomas Weddings

ent above and beyond my expectations. The day of the wedding went so smoothly thanks to Ricardo's expertise. His attention to detail was absolutely amazing. When I walked into the ceremony and reception areas, I was blown away by how beautiful it looked and how spot on to my vision it was. During the ceremony and reception, he was instrumental in making sure the day went off without a hitch, and it was perfect. Seriously, hire him!! You will not regret it!

and cost savings throughout the process. He had great vendor suggestions when I was not able to find one. We had to execute our rain plan and that went flawlessly due to his help. He is also just genuinely kind and wonderful to work with. We highly recommend him!

arried in Dallas at the Hall of State where all components of the wedding were up to us. We hired all of the vendors under the direction of Ricardo who produced a stunning New Year's Eve Wedding and Reception! The Lorraine Tomas Group possess the qualities that you expect from your planner; they are very knowledgeable about wedding resources and also patient and kind throughout the planning process which can sometimes get a little rocky along the way!! Our youngest daughter chose a venue in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The destination event was challenging in new ways that we had not encountered in the local wedding. In the end, we hosted 120 guests for 3 days of pure joy in a beautiful setting! Again, Ricardo and Haley were prepared to negotiate every aspect of this event in another country with a language barrier and a different culture of planning!

ot. First, Ricardo's vendor recommendations, relationships, and management were amazing. After our very first conversation, he had a perfect understanding of our vision, so much so that we went with his #1 or #2 recommendation for literally every vendor. When we told the vendor contacts who our planner was, the reactions were priceless -- ranging from a simple "Yay, we love him and you're in good hands!" to a sigh of relief and "Oh, thank god!" Our photographer (a cousin with a top-tier luxury business) was singing his praises from the moment he sent his first draft day-of timeline. On the two occasions that a vendor was being difficult, all we had to do was forward the email to Ricardo and he'd immediately reply "I've got this" and work his magic to make the issues go away. Second, he thought of every detail that never would have come to our minds, always with a smart idea on how to address them. (Do you want salads pre-set or delivered during the cocktail hour? Where should guests leave cards and gifts? Who should be invited to your hotel suite for getting ready photos? Who will take your leftover cake and liquor at the end of the night?) Even for a big wedding with a ton of moving parts, he was so prepared that we got to enjoy the entire day without making a single last-minute decision, allowing us to be totally present and calm throughout. Finally, he handled the two of US perfectly. We are two very different personalities -- a head-in-the-clouds romantic ADHDer and a neurotic human spreadsheet. His gentle reminders of deadlines and to-dos kept us accountable without adding to our stress. After every planning call, I would turn to my fiancé and say "I feel so much better." He navigated the drama of our families and the prescriptiveness of the church without blinking an eye. In summary -- hire Ricardo Tomas, the Wedding Architect. You will be very glad you did!

ttentive he was all day and throughout the evening and how smoothly the wedding ran. Fast forward two years to my wedding. We needed a coordinator to make it easier on ourselves. Plus, we were planning this Dallas wedding from Massachusetts. I reached out to Ricardo because he made and impression two years prior at my friend's wedding. We hired Ricardo with Lorraine Tomas, and it was the best decision. The wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly if it hadn't been for him and his team. He met with us virtually several times to go over ideas and details, and he sorta eases you in guiding you to what decisions need to be made based on how far out you are from the wedding date. Every time we were in town, he would meet with us at the venue to walk through the space and details. Ricardo gave us great recommendations on vendors and even got us quotes. He also gave some great ideas and suggestions I would have never even thought of if it wasn't for him. On the day of the wedding, he was literally everywhere in a good way. Whenever you needed him, he was right there. He handled everything, and we didn't have to really worry much about the timeline or the event. He made sure we were taken care of, and all we had to do was enjoy the day. We couldn't have gotten through the wedding without Ricardo's guidance, suggestions, and expertise. He left no stone unturned, and we're forever grateful!

entire planning and preparation process of our wedding was stressless. He helped us avoid all the issues, trials, and tribulations we had only heard about others going through. He and his team architected the PERFECT Wedding based on our wishes, and every one of our guests said so! All along the way he was amicable, ultra professional, boundlessly creative, and took all our requests into account. Every Vendor he recommended not only knew him, but adored and respected him incredibly. That helped A TON! They all treated us with the same level of professionalism as Ricardo and he led them through the wedding so that we were able to enjoy the event trouble-free. Thank you, Ricardo! Thank you to the Lorraine Tomas Team! You have made friends for life!

es and eye for unique artistic touches was amazing. We had close to 150 attendees from all over the country. Many of these folks are wedding attendee veterans. That said, we’ve had countless comments that this was the best wedding they have ever attended (we even got the same comment from a few vendors). Ricardo did an amazing job!

working with him, which speaks volumes to his work.

ared an itinerary of venue visits in order to finalize the ceremony and reception locations. We made a second visit for tastings, floral selections, entertainment and venue details. Once wedding week arrived, all the major details were finalized and we were able to concentrate on having a great time with our guests. Our weekend consisted of a Bar Crawl, Welcome Reception, Las Vegas Show, Ceremony, Wedding Reception and final Brunch. Last-minute details were handled by the trio and we had a beautiful ceremony! We can’t imagine this process without their assistance and expertise. You are definitely in great hands if you chose the Lorraine Tomás team to plan your wedding experience!

and charismatic when it came to his love for weddings. We cannot imagine planning and executing our special day without him. I would 10,000% recommend him and his team for your wedding planning needs.

questions to ask and made sure all vendors were ready to go and knew the timeline. I absolutely loved working with him and would recommend his planning services to anyone!

ast dance and we are forever grateful.

enough to brides and I am sad my wedding/planning is over because it was such a pleasure working with him. Thank you so much Ricardo, we love you!!! The Wrights

wedding! Ricardo was great at communicating with us and our other vendors! 10/10 recommend!

y Zoom calls kept us on task so there were no omissions. The vendors he suggested were all 5 star. What sets Ricardo apart is he is an actual Wedding Architect. He set up the room from an aesthetic point of view which made the wedding different from any other we have attended. Everyone should hire this Wedding Architect!

ch as we knew we would be blending our lives together as husband and wife, our wedding had the tall task of combining two cultures, two families with very different needs and wants, and a very large guest list. Ricardo and Rebecca were our first choice for wedding planners because of their attention to detail and relationships with vendors in the wedding industry. Our wedding was five events total, with two separate religious ceremonies. Rebecca and Ricardo listened to our vision and guided us through picking our venue, negotiating contracts, wardrobe choices, food tastings, stationary needs, and more. We had to plan our wedding in the Dallas area with us living in North Carolina amid the pandemic, and Rebecca and Ricardo were always available for a Zoom or video conference. They answered every call, text, and email we had (and there were a lot!). When our wedding was postponed from September 2020 due to the pandemic, Rebecca and Ricardo quickly unplanned our first wedding and had all our vendors confirmed for our new date in September 2021 within a week. We had more than a dozen vendors to keep track of between all the wedding events, and the relationships that Rebecca and Ricardo have formed with other wedding professionals ended up saving us money in the end. Every detail of our wedding weekend was perfect, and their team worked tirelessly from putting together welcome boxes all the way to the sparkler exit to make sure it was everything my husband and I had envisioned. We received so many compliments not only about the beautiful décor, the attention to detail, and level of organization, but also about our wonderful wedding planners who made it all possible. Our wedding would not have been the same without Ricardo and Rebecca with Lorraine Tomás!

lso including helping up plan out timing of the days leading up to the ceremony, as well as the ceremony and reception. We had 1-2 meetings with Ricardo initially and a Zoom meeting about a month before our event. I am naturally an anxious perfectionist, so having a calming force like Ricardo for our wedding weekend was must. I had 100% confidence that everything would go off without a hitch, and it did! Ricardo also knows and has worked with pretty much everyone in the business, so he is able to flawlessly execute the perfect day. He also thinks of every possible detail you probably WON’T. Not only is he THE BEST wedding planner in Dallas, we now have created a new lifelong friend.

sider. Having the Lorraine Tomas team working with us made the day-of stress free as I knew that everything would be taken care of. Would highly recommend Lorraine Tomas to anyone considering them for help planning a complex event!

ding day. She was professional throughout the process, always having a positive attitude, a smile on her face, super friendly, and ready to take care of business. I couldn’t have done it without her, thank you for a magical wedding day Rebecca!

ur day. We absolutely had the fairytale wedding of our dreams and could not have done it without Ricardo! He handled everything!!!!!! I was not asked a single question on my wedding day, as Ricardo handled everything behind the scenes with ease. He set up and packed up our reception items before I could even offer to help! He started at 8am on our wedding day, organizing and setting up, and finally sat down for the first time at 2am, after he packed all of our items to be shipped home the next day. I can’t say enough positive about him. Future engaged couples simply MUST hire him for the PERFECT wedding experience!!!!

but also is the calm when things do not go as planned... Ricardo is that person.. there are so many opportunities for things to go wrong but Ricardo never missed step ., was always laser focused but at the same time never let you feel that anything was wrong.. that is priceless.. thank you for stepping up to every challenge and making it look easy ..

aken care of and perfect. All the way down to getting a lip liner stain out of my dress 20 min before walking down the aisle!!!🥰 The day of, he coordinated everything with my vendors and was SO attentive and helpful not just to my husband (yay) and I, but also to my entire family and wedding party. From start to finish he was so sweet and and so accommodating. Honesty, if you don’t have Ricardo as your wedding day architect, I’m sorry, but you’re doing it wrong.

the endless bits and pieces to our event. The end result was a BEAUTIFUL and memorable event. I am a busy professional and our wedding was in Dripping Springs and I simply would not have been able to do this without his professional help. Because of him we found our venue, which we fell in love with. I would refer him 1,000 times over. He has a gentle spirit yet was firm in his resolve to make sure every detail was considered. The day of the wedding we were able to relax and enjoy our experience as he shepherded us all through the event. He gave more than expected and we are so appreciative. Thank you Ricardo with Lorraine Tomas Weddings!!

day of the wedding. He took care of everything with the vendors so all I had to worry about was relaxing and primping with my bridal party. He made sure everything ran seamlessly and he was always available to answer a question or provide something from his extensive "emergency kit." He even coordinated his accessories to compliment the wedding colors. He really does think of all the little details. I can only imagine how spectular a wedding would be if you had him as the planner for everything. He is just an absolute joy to work with as well.

as masterfully coordinated by him. His eye for design and talent for making a simple wedding spectacular is the single biggest reason I would choose Ricardo over anyone else.

the direction of the best vendors in the area, and because they have enjoyed working with him so much, they treated me very special and I even got a few discounts here and there (can't guarantee that will always happen, but it was a nice perk!) My reception went very smoothly and our families and wedding party enjoyed working with him and his team very much because of his calm spirit. He has several levels of service to acommodate any and all brides. I highly recommend Ricardo to any bride that wants to feel like a queen on her wedding day.
