Julia was absolutely incredible to work with! We found her through our venue's bridal show and instantly loved her. She is very outgoing, funny, and makes you feel at ease through the wedding planning process. Anytime we felt like we were forgetting something, Julia was there to help. I am so thankful for Julia especially for the weeks leading up to the wedding day when there were a million last minute decisions. She gave me a call to make sure everything was okay and talk through any worries I had. The day of the wedding, Julia was an absolute star! She had everyone in the right places at the right time and the attention to detail she put into the day was recognized. She was key to making the day go perfectly!

Our experience with Julia Stone was simply the best investment that we made for our wedding! We were referred to Julia through a friend couple after she coordinated their wedding, which we were a part of so we already had some first hand knowledge. We met with Julia in June/July with the timeline of wanting the wedding in the following spring (~8-9 months planning timeline). At the time, we did not have anything contracted ourselves (no venue was booked yet). During our initial brunch meeting with Julia, you can immediately see that she is very coordinated/organized in her work, patient, and very professional, but also that she is on top of her business and vendors to ensure your big day goes according to plan. She can be direct when she needs to be, and that’s truly what you need when someone is coordinating your big day. My husband and I both are young professionals, and simply would not have had the time nor ability to arrange everything ourselves to the satisfactory extent which Julia was able to assist with. She kept us aware of our scheduling deadlines, and helped nudge us in the right direction when indecision could potentially impact the contractual schedule/timeline for the wedding planning. We used many of her preferred vendors, and all of them were very professional and timely. When the vendors were not up to satisfactory standards, Julia was quick to redirect us to ensure that we met our timeline (and she is continually updating her preferred vendor list based on their performances). We did not have any issues on our big day, and minor items were very discreetly handled by Julia during the wedding and the guests had no idea. Looking back on the wedding day, my husband and I have zero complaints and are very happy that we went with Julia from Set In Stone. It was a perfect evening.

Julia was an incredible wedding planner! Leading up to the wedding she helped us pick vendors, hone in on our style, and take things off of our plate so we could enjoy our engagement season!
During the wedding she made sure everything went smoothly (with timing, coordinating schedules and vendors, and family)! We were able to fully relax and enjoy our special day!!
We would definitely recommend her!

What started as a conversation simply because we shared a name, quickly turned into a vendor & friend that I wouldn’t have survived the wedding process without. From organizing contracts and documents, to recommending other vendors and coordinating meetings/payments, Julia is organized, attentive, and quick to respond to anything you may need! We hired her for partial planning, but she goes above and beyond and many times when I thought I was behind or forgetting something, she had already taken care of it. Nearly two months after our wedding, I finally braved organizing our reception items and thought our champagne flutes were left behind. Within minutes of texting her, she responded and knew exactly where they were - TWO. MONTHS. LATER. Wedding brain is so real, but Julia made it feel like a breeze - especially at the two month mark when I had just graduated nursing school, passed my NCLEX, and started a new job the week of our wedding. She was my go to girl for everything and my only regret is that we can’t do it all over again!

I simply could not have asked for a better wedding planner. We hired Julia solely to do month of coordination, but she truly went above and beyond. I am a planner and already had many details of my wedding determined upon hiring Julia, but she helped us organize our ideas, make our vision come to life, and guide us through details we didn’t even realize we were missing. Her communication with vendors was above and beyond and she never missed a beat, even being almost 9 months pregnant at my wedding! The day of our wedding, we had a mishap with a vendor and she resolved the issue seamlessly without me even knowing anything was occurring until after the wedding when I was informed by my mother. A month prior to the wedding, my fiancée and I were having difficulty confirming rentals with another vendor, and Julia not only got us a complete refund, but found us an even better vendor and secured the rentals on such short notice. She has MANY connections in the industry in Houston and I trust her and her preferred vendors through and through. Not only was Julia a thorough, communicative, and professional planner, but she is also an incredible human being whom I loved spending time with and genuinely miss now that our wedding is over. At this point I am rambling, but I truly don’t have words to express how grateful we are for Julia and everything she did for us. I am confident that my wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without her. We love you Julia!!! Hire her!

Julia was the absolute best! Even though she was just supporting us day-of, I appreciated her check-ins leading up to the day so that we could make sure we were on the same page. Those check-ins, her checklist, and all of the other planning documents really helped us throughout the wedding planning process and made for a smooth day! We felt so cared for - we knew Julia was taking care of the details for us and so we were able to just enjoy our day!

Do yourself a favor and make hiring Julia at Set in Stone Events your first investment in your wedding. Your future self with thank you!
Aside from being incredibly responsive, well connected with amazing vendors and experienced, Julia is just an absolutely lovely human being. I was an incredibly Type A bride, and she was such a calming, reassuring person to be around throughout the entire process. I actually cried when I saw her at both our rehearsal and wedding day becasue I was so relieved to have her prescence near me. I just knew that everything was going to be perfect because she was leading the charge.
As mentioned, I was a very Type A bride and was very overwhelmed with the plethora of options that every vendor will provide you. I knew that I could turn to Julia and get an objective, honest opinion. As you get further along in the planning process, having someone who is as experienced and "in the know" of bridal trends is invaluable. She was able to tell me what a good investment would be, and what I could likely skip.
I can whole heartedly say that our wedding day was the incredible day that it was because of Julia and Set in Stone events!

Julia is absolutely amazing to work with!! From the initial interview, I felt very comfortable with her helping me wedding plan from long distance. She is professional, detail oriented, organized, patient, and fun to be around! She always made sure to create time to meet with me whenever I was in town and helped me with so many of things I did not know to think about for my wedding. Even though she couldn’t attend my wedding as she recently had her baby, her replacements were just as wonderful and easy to work with! Her team handled my wedding day beautifully and everything went smoothly despite a few hiccups here and there (my wedding was a couple of days post tornado). Multiple vendors have told me she is a joy to work with. I’m so glad I went with Set in Stone for my wedding planning and wouldn’t have changed anything!

Their passion for creating beautiful, memorable weddings shines through in every event. Highly recommended!

Where do I even begin? Working with Julia and Set in Stone Events was an absolute game-changer in finally bringing my dream wedding to life after a three and a half year engagement. Julia’s patience, understanding, and unwavering support throughout the entire planning process were truly invaluable. Julia listened attentively to my ideas, gently nudged me forward when I needed it most, and expertly turned my vision into reality. From finding the perfect vendors to coordinating every last detail, she was with me every step of the way. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, my wedding day was everything I had ever dreamed of and more. If you're like me and need a little extra push to make your wedding dreams come true, look no further than Julia with Set in Stone Events. Five stars for her exceptional service and for making my wedding dreams a reality!

When my wife and I first started planning our wedding we were fairly certain we could do it all ourselves. My wife is a very detail oriented person, and she actually managed to get about 70% of the way through the planning before all of her other obligations started to pile up and we decided to get some help on the details - vendors, catering, general coordination, etc.
Julia came to the rescue. She created a custom "partial planning" quote for us since we had already completed a lot of tasks, but treated us like a priority the whole time. Not only did she go above and beyond, she pointed out a number of things we never would have considered that made our day even more special. She had wonderful attention to detail and made executive game time decisions to ensure our reception space matched our vision board. We would highly recommend Julia to anybody in the Houston area looking to make the wedding planning process easy and enjoyable.

Julia Stone is hands down the only reason why our wedding was a success! From the very beginning, she was responsive, friendly, and uber-helpful. She always answered calls, emails, and texts quickly -- regardless of how important the message was. She always listened to my ideas and concerns and helped me to find the best path forward in accomplishing my wedding goals! Julia is so organized and pays attention to the smallest of details. Her organization system for her clients is thorough and I relied heavily on it! She also was able to help me find vendors that were reputable and well-rated, including a photographer for our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks event! She made things so much easier by corresponding and keeping ALL of our vendors up to date on details, too. She was so quick in problem-solving, and her calm demeanor was integral in making me feel like everything was under control throughout the whole planning process and the wedding day. I feel like Julia really got to know us and what we wanted. We were on the fence about hiring a wedding planner/coordinator at first, but looking back I don't think we could have done it without one... Or without JULIA! I HIGHLY recommend her! 5/5 stars!

Julia and I worked together and she was my first call when I started wedding planning and was absolutely the best investment! My, now, husband and I live in Raleigh, NC but were getting married in my hometown of Houston. The stress of planning a wedding is exponentially magnified when you are doing it out of state. Having Julia by my side was such a relief during the planning process, especially planning across the country. The day of was flawless! My husband and I got to stay in our little bubble while she kept the wedding on track. I cannot recommend Julia enough. Her level of service is worth every penny.

Julia was amazing to work with! I booked her for my day of coordinator, but she was there for me every step of the way, more than I expected! She had recommendations for every kind of vendor and was very supportive of my vision for the day. She was so helpful on the day of; a perfect balance of making sure we felt taken care of and on schedule, but not rushed. My fiancé even told during dinner he was so happy I had booked her. She's also just such a kind person and stayed relaxed at the end when my mom and I were starting to panic trying to get all of the details completed. I can't recommend her enough!

I truly can't recommend and sing the praises of Julia Stone and Set In Stone Events enough! Our almost 2 year journey together culminated in a beautifully wonderful day and night that I will never ever forget.
Reflecting back on it all, I truly had the best and most stress free day I could have ever imagined for something so big. I never once had to worry about anything or anyone because Julia and her team had it all handled and did it absolutely flawlessly. I am VERY Type A and a major details and planner person. I thought I would be super stressed the day of my wedding, but I had 0 stress whatsoever that day.
Choosing Julia as our planner was truly one of the BEST decisions I made throughout this whole process. I appreciate all of her expert advice and guidance on things. She took care of me and made sure I was good to go with everything day of and during the reception and even got us all packed up with goodies at the end of the night. She truly helped my vision come to life and things honestly turned out even more perfectly than I could have ever imagined.

Julia is worth EVERY PENNY!! She is absolutely amazing. Kept me so calm. I’m sure there were issues on the day of the wedding but I had no idea. She also made sure I had everything ironed out leading up to the wedding and executed everything perfectly. Really, you cannot go wrong with Julia. She’s incredible and I don’t think I could’ve made a better choice. Another important thing she did was kindly mention any time I wasn’t thinking through everything well enough. As an example, she suggested I hire the wait staff for the clean up hour to make sure we didn’t get penalized by the venue. I hadn’t even considered that, but she made the right call.

COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER! Julia was absolutely amazing! Always quick to reply and on top of any and all requests or questions I had! Made everything so much easier and smoother from keeping up with payments to talking to vendors to making sure I was doing what I needed too (even though I was very hands off and procrastinated a ton) she made everything come together and I could not have asked for more! Really made our special day and dream come true in every way and I can't thank her enough!

Truly I don’t know what would have happened to our wedding if we didn’t have Set in Stone. We signed with Julia just 4 months out from our wedding date and I would have been a total stress basket (or worse) without her constant assurances that we could make it come together in time. Through regular virtual calls, she helped me find calm and know what to prioritize each week. When the big day came, it was a privilege to see her wedding game face on—totally in her element, handling everything with grace and confidence. I am perfectly unaware if anything did not go as planned. Thank you, Julia!

Julia is amazing at what she does! We had Julia assisting us with our reception space and vendors we had won from a wedding service contest! She was very organized, which as a type A bride I absolutely loved along with a great communicator. She coordinated with our wedding planner and each individual vendor to ensure one vision for our perfect day and that everything arrived on time and was set up beautifully! We could not have had our wedding reception for 350 people over 10,000 square foot warehouse all ready to go without Julia!!!

Julia was amazing! We hired her for full service planning and it was worth every penny. She was available for so many vendor meetings and kept everything organized from each meeting even when the vendors forgot some details. Bryce and I got a lot out of the way pretty early on in the planning process so where able to take a break for 2 months, but as soon as we realized we needed to start planning again she was there ready with the next things that needed to happen. She is prompt with her email response and will meet at a coffee shop or at her home with her cute little pups! I work 6 days a week and was unable to meet with most of the vendors multiple times during the planning process; well we had a little hiccup with a vendor and let me tell you Julia fully had our backs! Julia is so nice and down to earth, just an absolute joy to work with! Her husband, Jacob, was her assistant the day of our wedding and they took care of everything perfectly. I kept getting told I was so calm the day of my wedding and the reason for that is Julia. She made everything stress free and had the timeline so well planned I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of. I’ve already recommended her to a few of my friends to plan their weddings!

Julia made our lives unexplainably easy in the weeks leading up to the wedding and absolutely crushed it the day of! Every time I needed any help or advice, Julia was ready to help. Leading up to the wedding, Julia coordinated everything with our other vendors and we hardly had to do anything but show up and follow the timeline she laid out. She’s easy to get along with, but still firm enough to get things done. I cannot recommend Julia highly enough. Easily one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning!!!

I cannot brag enough about how amazing Julia with Set in Stone Events is. I booked her at least 1.5 years before my wedding, and she was super helpful throughout the entire time leading up to my big day. My husband and I hired her mainly to coordinate since we planned the majority of our wedding, but Julia did so much to relieve any and all stress I was experiencing, especially in the last few months leading up to the wedding. I would send her lengthy emails, random texts as my brain remembered small things to ask, etc. (even when we were still a year or more out from the wedding), and she was always super professional and prompt with her responses. We are all human and need grace at times, and Julia was really good about showcasing this trait throughout my time working with her. She handled all vendor communication 1-2 months before the wedding, created the ceremony & reception hall floor plans, made a day-of timeline, and executed our day wonderfully. She also reworks the day-of schedule as little hiccups come up throughout the day but still makes sure everything gets done before the end of your event. If there is any advice I can give to fellow brides, it’s this: hire a coordinator, and let it be Julia. It’s 100% worth it. You not only hire someone who is super easy to work with and will execute your day amazingly; you also gain a wonderful friend in your life. Julia and I still text here and there even after my wedding; she truly is such a down to earth human that I cannot thank enough!

From the moment I met Julia I knew she would be the best fit for us as a wedding coordinator. Her professionalism, willingness to go above and beyond with vendor recommendations and anything we needed, as well as her open and friendly attitude throughout the entire process made planning our wedding so much easier and less stressful.
When my wedding dress needed last minute alterations the week of our wedding, Julia came through with great recommendations of someone willing to do a super last minute alteration. And throughout the day of our wedding she was a calming force, making sure everything was going smoothly, and that both me and my husband were taken care of and didn't have to worry about anything. Highly highly recommend her!!

As photographers we know firsthand: a good planner makes your wedding experience a million times better. More details are looked after, you have more time in your day, you're more comfortable and relaxed. Having a planner is crucial if you want your day to be as stress-free as possible.
You'll never get to live your wedding day again. When you hire a planner, you aren't hiring someone just to make sure dinner starts on time. You're buying yourself more time to experience the biggest day of your life.
That's what having Julia plan your day is like. She is fun, down-to-earth, and professional, and she is on a different level than anyone else on your wedding day.
Stop looking. You've found your planner. Go with Julia. You WILL NOT regret it.

I honestly do not know where to begin. I met Julia a little over a year out from our wedding date at an open house that our venue was hosting. We automatically clicked as it turned out that we were both going to share the same anniversary date! I knew that she was the perfect fit for us and having her be my cheerleader during the planning process was the best! She is very prompt and quick to answer any questions or concerns I may have had and was very good about bringing up little details that I would’ve never thought of if I would’ve done this on my own. I knew from the very beginning that it would be 100% worth hiring a coordinator and now that it’s over, I can definitely stick to that!!! I highly recommend Julia, I’d do it all over again if it could! Thank you for such a stress free day for not only myself and my husband, but also for our families! Needless to say, our friends and family loved her! Her husband, Jacob, was also a wonderful addition to the day, they are both the sweetest couple!! Thank you Set in Stone for all of your help and support!!!!

I had my wedding 10/9/2021 so a bit delayed on this review, but I really wanted to still provide the feedback: Julia was AMAZING. I utilized her "day of" package, but she provided so much more than just 'day of' assistance. Over months and months of time she contacted all of my vendors, touched based with me via email/phone/text, sent me reminder checklists, and made sure every detail I wanted occurred seamlessly. Her style can meld to anyone's needs: broad strokes to the most finite details. She knows multiple vendors (my wedding was in Houston-cypress area) so you don't have to search blindly. Beyond her work ethic, she is also just an awesome person. I truly recommend her services!

Oh where to begin. We found Julia through a quick search here on the knot. We actually spoke with several event planners and as soon as we spoke with Julia we knew she was a perfect fit. We had made a list of many, many questions, and she touched base on every single topic within the first 30 minutes of conversation. She is very upfront with what she offers with each package. She gave a honest recommendation of which package she felt would fit. We had put so much trust in her and it paid off tremendously. She caught our vibe and did the rest. She is extremely responsive. As an LGBTQ+ couple, she ensured that we had vendors whose values aligned with ours. Now on to the wedding day, she communicated with me during the day (not overwhelmingly, but enough to keep me in the loop) I had not a single worry the day of. Everything came together beautifully. She created the perfect timeline and carried such a great relationship with our other vendors that everyone came together seamlessly. A personal note, I had very little family attend my wedding and Julia unknowingly filled the role of a mother of the bride. She sees the small details that no one else sees. Including the need for a hair redo after a time of dancing in some intense wind gusts. We are forever grateful for Julia for being more than what you’d expect from an event planner. She is a friend.

Julia is and will be the greatest person to ever take care of your wedding. She made every issue that came in my head seem normal. She talked me down from my anxiousness and nerves. Had every vendor ready to go on wedding day.
As much as you would love for you wedding to be perfect, something always goes wrong. Mine did. But guess what?? I didn’t know about it. Until that night, leaving the venue. Julia took care of everything. Even got us a reimbursement from one vendor that made a mistake.
Julia if you read this. Thank you so much for everything you did for me. I felt like you were a second maid of honor. I appreciate you! Hopefully see you soon for smaller event. 😊
Hire her! Best decision you’ll ever make!!!

Julia is amazing!! Not only did she help us have the most amazing wedding with rockstar vendors, she also helped me navigate rescheduling our wedding 2 times during the pandemic. Our original wedding date was 4/5/20 and that navigation had a lot of ups and downs for me as the bride and my husband as well. She is very kind and patient and was even a shoulder to cry on when we had to reschedule so many times. On the day of our wedding I don’t remember stressing at all because she had it all covered. She won’t steer you wrong if you go with her for planning your beautiful wedding day!

Where do I even start!! I hired Julia as my day of coordinator and she knocked it out of the park!!! I cant believe I was even questioning a day of coordinator to save money. She is 1000% worth it! As a day of coordinator I figured she would be there for me just the day of, but nope!! She was there for me the entire process and took the not so best moments of wedding planning and handled them with ease. Not to mention the day of, I felt as if I didn’t even have to lift a finger! Do yourself a favor and get the best wedding coordinator Houston has to offer! I promise you won’t regret it!! 🤩

If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator for your big day, HIRE JULIA! We used Set in Stone’s day of coordination for our wedding on Jan. 2, 2021 and working with Julia was fantastic. She went above and beyond what I expected for day- of coordinating services.
Julia provided monthly check ins to keep my planning on track (especially with so many uncertainties from the pandemic added), and helped me balance my other vendors. She kept me super organized and calm through every step of the process.
On our wedding day, she helped make sure everything ran smoothly and our timeline stayed on track. She ensured the catering setup, coordinated our photographer and last-minute videographer, and so much more. Not to mention, she’s a great human being. She’s kind and thoughtful and incredibly detail oriented. Super pleased with Set in Stone as our day of coordinator!

We found Julia for our wedding in January of 2021. From the very first phone call, I knew she was exactly what we needed! So personable and listened to exactly what style and timeline we wanted. Navigating a "covid wedding" was not easy but she was so very helpful and offered so many suggestions as far as updating the seating layout to allow for the best space, to doing a private sparkler photo shoot for bride and groom instead of a grand exit (we didn't want to cut out any dancing time :) ).
Julia was so attentive and helpful to not only me, but our bridal party and guests.
You definitely need a Julia on your wedding day!! We would hire her over and over again.

I cannot recommend Julia enough. I booked her day of coordinator services and not only was she amazing on the wedding day, but all the time leading up to. She kept me on track and gave great recommendations. She was quick to answer my questions and never seemed to mind my random texts. She exceeded all my expectations. Our wedding day went so smoothly because of her. She was swift and quick on her feet in making decisions. She was extremely organized and new every detail of the day. She was direct and easy to communicate with. She kept all the other vendors on track and created a calm environment. Our wedding day was perfect.

When we decided to plan a wedding from halfway across the country, in the middle of a pandemic, and in just three months my anxiety went through the roof. And then we hired Julia and I spent the entire time planning in a state of total peace. Julia was absolutely wonderful from the very first phone call. Within hours of signing our contract Julia had several venues lined up for us to visit in the few days that we were in Houston, a cake tasting planned, a photographer lined up, and several other vendor recommendations for us to review. Her network of vendors is amazing. We loved that Julia seemed to understand our personalities and vibe so quickly and was able to direct us to vendors who fit exactly who we are and what we were looking for. Our wedding day was such a breeze--nothing to worry about because Julia and the team she put together were on it! Our guests had a wonderful time, remarked on how smoothly the evening went, and even my mother-in-law was amazed there was no day-of drama. Having never been the girl to dream of her wedding day, Julia definitely made it a day to dream about.

Let me start by saying even if you don't think you need a day of coordinator, YOU DO! I am left with such a great memory of my wedding day because Julia had everything under control. I knew that one of my biggest priorities for myself and my closest loved ones was to be able to live in the moment and this was all possible with Set in Stone's help. I always felt calm, reassured, and if something went wrong I was none the wiser lol. Throughout the planning process Julia was available and offered advice and help that put me at ease. She was even tidying up details for me the day of. She was easily a huge reason why we were able to enjoy our day. So thankful to her and her team, an absolute pleasure to work with.

If you want someone who can manage a crisis flawlessly, Julia and her team are the folks for you. We hired Julia as our day of coordinator for our intimate 40-guest wedding at a local restaurant on March 14, 2020... the Saturday after they cancelled Rodeo, the president declared a national disaster, and the last wedding weekend of the pre-COVID era. As my wedding guests cancelled and last minute changes were needed to accommodate the constantly evolving circumstances, Julia took them all in stride and made sure our day went as best as possible. Vendor coordination, decor, music cues, timeline, payments, precious hand sanitizer - Julia made it happen. We could not have made it through that weekend without her! Thank you, Set in Stone!!

Julia was a wonderful day of coordinator and helped make sure everything went smoothly and without a hitch. She was so helpful in navigating us through Covid waters and coordinated helpers to be able to serve food, take temperatures, and help take down after the wedding. She was so attentive to every need or want on our wedding day, whether it be getting me a bottle of water or helping bustle my train. Julia will go above and beyond for her couples and it truly shows! My mother and I were able to relax the day of the wedding knowing that all of the details were being taken care of, and just enjoy each moment. We are so thankful to have had Julia as our coordinator!

Selecting Julia with Set In Stone Events as my event coordinator had to be one of the most valuable pieces of my wedding day that I will always remember and cherish. I was lucky enough to be given her information from a band I was inquiring about early on in my planning. Although the band did not get the booking, I am so grateful for their referral because Julia is hands down the best planner out there! My first meeting with her felt so natural, just felt like friends catching up together. She made me feel at ease with planning my wedding from start to finish. My budget was honored in every aspect, always respecting our choices as well as offering amazing vendor referrals! I had her for Month-Of planning, but she would touch base with me about my progress and if I had any newly booked vendors about every other month or so. She was a very attentive planner, which made all the difference for me.
My fiancé and I had to postpone in 2019 for 2020 and she was with me every step in getting a new date locked in and timeline figured out. Neither of us could have expected what was to come of March 2020 (hello Covid-19) but Julia and her team kept things under control and professional. Even as a panicked bride with last minute guest cancellations, I knew Julia had our wedding as her top priority, keeping me as calm as possible while handling everything behind the scenes.
The experience I had for planning my wedding was made so much easier because of Julia. I highly recommend Julia with Set In Stone Events to any couple in the Houston area planning their wedding.

Julia & her team was an absolute godsend for our big day! I am SO glad I hired her. She was my month of coordinator but she was always there if I had any questions or needed her professional opinion. The month of my wedding, we had tons of zoom meetings and she always makes sure you have every single detail planned out and ready to go. She gives you incredible timelines and coordinates all your vendors to make sure your day goes by smoothly! I could not have imagined doing all these things on my wedding day. She is incredible and was able to juggle all my moving parts of my wedding seamlessly (I had a ton of different vendors!) On the wedding day, Julia helped me put out my DIY decor and personal touches at the reception, delivered my bouquet to my hotel room where we were getting ready, made sure all my vendors arrived and set up on time, as well as holding onto some of our personal things in her notepad until we needed them (Rings, Garter, Makeup bag etc) and so much more! If Nick & I needed something, she was on it. During my reception, I felt like she was always by my side If I needed anything and was always making sure we were okay. She even packed up some desserts from our dessert bar and left over food for us which we really appreciated the day after. She made my wedding day stress free-which is what every bride dreams of! She is an incredible coordinator and I highly recommend her! I actually have referred her to two of my other friends and she was booked so I recommend booking her fast because SHE IS AMAZING! I cannot thank Julia & her team enough. Thank you for being so amazing and working with me during this crazy pandemic! You made my dream wedding the best day ever and I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.

Julia's help and support was invaluable. Her level of organization and knowledge in the wedding space is truly impressive and she helped make our wedding day AMAZING. We booked her day-of coordination services, and she went above and beyond, not just on our wedding day, but from the moment we had our intro Zoom call with her! She helped solidify our day-of timeline, kept us organized and on track, took care of things we didn't have time for before our big day, and provided seamless support day of our wedding. As a huge bonus she let us borrow various decor for our reception!! She did a great job working with our vendors and especially the communication with our photographer and venue manager. There is so much she did behind the scenes and there are countless things we are grateful to have had her supporting us.
Julia is very professional, easy to work with, flexible, and caring. Do not hesitate to book her- we will recommend her to everyone. Thank you SO much!

We hired Julia with Set in Stone events for our wedding last year and it was the best decision we could have made.
She helped me with various planning details - vendor selection/recommendations, timeline discussion, guest list and layout help. She is truly a gem and cares deeply about her craft and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
My wedding was absolutely perfect and I have her to thank for that. She took care of any little fires that came up, and made sure I was comfortable at all times.
Wish I could get married all over again. I would hire her in a heartbeat.

Julia was my rock throughout the entire wedding planning process (through COVID I would like to add lol). We booked her coordinating services about a year out and she made sure to do monthly check-ins and more often when the big day got closer. She had no hesitations with contacting our vendors to make any changes and even picked up our freaking cake!! Day of, I had ZERO worries/issues, literally. Julia handled everything and EVERYTHING was perfect. I can't thank her enough for allowing me enjoy the best day of my life. You will not have any regrets when booking her. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!

Words can't express how grateful I am for Julia and how she uses her talents and skills so selflessly for others. Getting married at the end of July in the middle of a pandemic and then, days before, learning of an incoming tropical storm gave me all the feelings. Thankfully, Julia was by my side throughout the process and was an incredible encourager and even better coordinator/planner. She is so personable, it didn't take long for our check-in calls to feel like planning my wedding with one of my girlfriends.
We had a beautiful day, rain and all, and it's thanks in large part to Julia's expertise, creativity, and flexibility. Given the restraints of COVID-19 and the rain, she was able to craft an excellent day-of-timeline for our day that allowed us to get beautiful photos to cherish (without getting drenched) and while helping us reduce mingling/socializing and still ensuring our guests had a great time. I really appreciate her connecting with our vendors through all of the changes, especially the ones that my husband and I made on the fly on the day of. Given all that's going on in the world, weddings just have to look different (for the time being) and I love how Julia is an out of the box thinker.
If you're considering working with Julia for your upcoming wedding or event, book her now! She is a gem and I couldn't imagine the wedding planning process or the actual day of without her.

Julia is INCREDIBLE! We hired her as a day of coordinator but she went above and beyond our expectations. She met with us several times over the course of a year and a half. She had answers for all the questions we had and suggestions for things we hadn't even thought about. She made sure my husband and I were at ease on the day of the wedding. If anything did go wrong, I didn't know about it ,which meant it was taken care of well! I remember during our reception, I had gotten up to go to the bathroom(the bar was right next to the bathroom) and Julia goes, "Why is your hand empty? What do you need?" I just needed to go to the bathroom but when I came back, I had a drink waiting for me at the table. If you want an extremely organized, planned, and stress-free wedding, you need to hire Set in Stone.

Julia was absolutely incredible! We utilized her for Day Of Coordination, and I could not have asked for a better person to handle the details of my day. She coordinated all of my vendors for two different venues and was able to help everything run flawlessly on the day of. Even though we only utilized Day Of coordination, she was incredibly responsive throughout the whole planning process, not just the month or so leading up to the wedding. I highly recommend Set in Stone!

{LOOK NO FURTHER} My husband and I got engaged in August 2019 and our wedding was in February 2020. We were very excited to get married, a shorter engagement was the way to go for us (it also worked out with the Lenten season, as we wanted it to be before then!). So we were busyyy....reaching out to venues, photographers, make-up artist, finding our dress/tux, etc. After seeing how much some wedding planners/coordinators charged, I honestly convinced myself that we might be able to have a family friend help us with day of coordination. Well, beyond thankful that I vetoed myself and asked for a few more estimates for wedding day coordination. Julia responded to us same day and we had a phone call. When talking to Julia on our initial call...it was like talking to one of my good friends. She got me. She listened to me, she was cheerful, easy to talk to, positive, down to earth, and had great advice...she helped lift a huge weight off my shoulders! And the rest was wedding day bliss history.
By the time we found Julia, it was November, so we had just a few months left until our special day! She helped us to give recommendations, get quotes, and determine availability for those vendors we still needed to nail down. But that, was just the beginning! She came with us to our food tasting at the hotel where we held our reception (Le Meridien), continued to give great advice through the decision process of what linens, what centerpieces, Videographer rec (Big Camera Guy Hou - his work is amazing!), what size tables for sweetheart/cake, reaching out to all of our vendors before our wedding to make sure every one was on the same page. Not to mention...alright, I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for to do lists and organization...our day of timeline she put together for us. I thought I was good on making schedules, y'all. I'm here now to say that I had no clue and way in over my head! The level of detail was comforting and more importantly, helped her and all of our vendors stay on track the day of!
On the day of - she was there early in the day, brought me a Starbucks latte (even though I was too nervous to drink most of it), and got to work right away, making sure everything was perfect. From our place cards, table #'s, photo guest book, centerpieces, making sure everything arrived on time, floor layout was on point, and all things were in their pre-discussed place. Checking on us before our entrance to the reception (we had a break between ceremony/reception), keeping us calm as we walked towards the reception area...even participating with us in a quick "go team" hands in to shake my nerves. Making sure we had drinks throughout the night. Keeping us on schedule. Helping distribute tips to our wonderful vendors, making sure my mom and sister grabbed all of the guest gifts/cards, our decor items, etc.
I obviously cannot say enough about Julia! If you're still reading this, LOOK NO FURTHER. On second that, I'll add that to the top of my review. But if she is available, seriously, work with her to book immediately!

Working as a wedding photographer with Set in Stone as the couple’s coordinator was a breeze! They double checked with me prior that the timeline was fit for photos, was so much fun to work with the day of, and always kept me in the loop with information leading up to the wedding day! I highly recommend Set in Stone as your event coordinator, 10/10!💕🤗🎉🥂

Julia was an amazing coordinator for my wedding in October 2019. She was very helpful the day of and also in the months leading up to the wedding. Our wedding was outdoors at Buffalo Bayou park with a unique set up that Set in Stone pulled off brilliantly. I would highly recommend Set in Stone to any future brides in a heartbeat.

Julia and Valerie were absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I first met Julia, I knew it was going to be an instant match. She is incredibly detailed and organized! Her attention to detail is amazing and it is what makes her the top notch wedding planner/coordinator she is now. To think she just started out in the business a few years ago is unbelievable. It truly feels like she has been doing this for over 20 years! Her connection to various vendors also makes her a TOP contender in the wedding planning world. Honestly, meet her over some coffee and book her! You will thank yourself later! Our wedding day was stress free and everything turned out exactly as imagined all thanks to Julia and Valerie. I will forever be grateful for hiring them. I was hesitant at first about even hiring a DOC, but this was the very best money spent! If you have to make room somewhere in the budget, DO IT! A coordinator is far more valuable than anything else!

Julia was amazing. She was organized and in charge. She knew when to involve me and when to just make the decisions. I hired set in stone for partial planning and she was a lifesaver with some great vendor recommendations. I can’t imagine how I would’ve gotten through my wedding day without her! My whole family couldn’t stop talking about how great she was and she just took care of absolutely everything!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Julia went above and beyond for my wedding and it was so perfect! We hired her to be a day of coordinator because I just wanted to enjoy our meaningful event without stress. She and her mom achieved this plus much more! They even made us to go bags of food and water, cake and cookies. They took the time to help set up making sure each detail was perfect and checked in with us often. I cannot stress enough how happy we are with Set in Stone's services. If you're thinking about a planner/coordinator Set in Stone is it!!!!
