Tracy Collins Events

rs, knows what to expect in terms of pricing, and knows when you can or cannot negotiate on price. She is truly talented, and can listen to what you want and pull things together in a way that is better than you could have ever imagined. As a bride who had just moved to Austin with no friends or family in town to help me make all the small decisions that go into wedding planning, I knew I needed to at least bring in a day-of-coordinator. Additionally, after selecting a modern, but blank space, and trying (but failing) to come up with good décor ideas on my own, I knew I needed the help of an expert. From the first time I met with Tracy, I could tell she just got my vision for the wedding. She was like the best friend in town that I needed! She was so easy to get along with and made the whole process fun. She made what I couldn't describe in words come together in a way that was amazing beyond what I could have imagined. She made me feel like I was her only client, and went above and beyond when it came to working with me on the design and flow of the wedding. She was responsive and available via phone, email, and text to answer all my questions. As an accountant and former auditor by profession I am very detailed by nature, so it was extremely important to me that everything, down to the last detail was considered, planned out, and budgeted for. As budget was important, she helped me to understand the different options and their costs, so that I could make decisions accordingly. Tracy went above and beyond, meeting with me several times to select each little detail, down to the linens, plates, silverware, chairs, and tables until I was absolutely happy and in love with the way everything worked together. We did mock-ups in the rental space, and she was even able to have the florist bring the vases and some fake flowers to help me get a feel for the complete look. On the day of she ensured everything was set-up exactly as discussed, and it looked absolutely stunning!! She also did an excellent job of coordinating the various vendors and ensuring they were there and doing what they needed to be on time. Her team took everything from me days in advance, and also packed everything up for me and dropped it off at the end of the night, so I didn't have a single thing to worry about the day of the wedding. She created a detailed timeline and plan that she circulated to the vendors and wedding party, and kept everything running smoothly and on time the day of. I can't thank Tracy and her team enough for everything they did! I couldn’t have imagined the day without her!!

creative ideas. Tracy is a delight and worth her weight in gold!

ing services, but she helped me throughout the entire process. She helped me pick out the table clothes, helped me with the caterer tasting, and made great recommendations all along the way. The day of the wedding she took care of everything, I had zero stress in my wedding day because I knew she was taking care of everything. My dream was to have a beautiful wedding and she helped make that happen. When I walked out and saw everything set up and put together I started crying because she made what was in my head come to life. You cannot go wrong wth Tracy, I would recommend her to any and everyone!!!

's extremely knowledgeable about each component of your big day and ensures it all executes to perfection. Best of all, if something does go wrong you would never know because she takes care of it immediately. We hired Tracy for our day of planner and added a few planning sessions. Her ideas, vision and expertise helped coach my fiance and I throughout the planning process which made it easy to shape the wedding of our dreams. One the big day, her attention to detail and ability to execute to a detailed schedule helped deliver a amazing event for us and our guests.

was in good hands, thanks to Tracy! She’s the best and will put you at ease from the very moment you hire her. She clearly has so many years of experience and is such a fun loving & hard working lady. She will make sure your wedding is exactly as you envisioned it. She’s the best. Loved getting to spend time and work with her!

o over EVERYTHING we realized that we had seriously missed quite a few things. Tracy creates the ultimate checklist for you and goes over every tiny detail that you would never think of unless you've done hundreds of weddings. She creates a custom timeline down to the MINUTE, it's unreal. She does her best not to bother the bride the day of for anything. We were behind schedule due to weather/craziness of a wedding and she spoke to my parents and the venue and added an hour for the reception so we didn't have to end early. When we met to choose tablecloths and table settings we realized very quickly that we had signed a contract with the wedding planner queen. She knows everything there is to know about tables/decor/etc. and somehow knows exactly what you'll love. We went in thinking we'd have all ivory table cloths and came out with 4 different colors/textures, and it was all to die for. She has tons of vendor connections and was able to help me find multiple items I still needed help with. Finally, the day after your wedding she follows up with all vendors to let them know what went wrong/what was great, etc. If you want someone that will get everything done the day of, Tracy is your go-to.

the country, vetting vendors, and having confidence they would deliver on the vision was scary. So, I started the search for a wedding planner. My requirements - responsive, fun, understood my vision, and proactive. Tracy was ALL of this and SO much more. She's amazing at what she does, had an immediate understanding of our requests, and delivered 10X anything we asked. Even better, she had fun with us (or so I like to think). I would tell every bride to use Tracy and her insane planning skills for any event - wedding, party, shower, etc. She has amazing industry connections, executes on your vision flawlessly and can talk through budget like a champ.

sk for a more incredible individual to handle one of our most cherished days. Thank you again to Tracy and the team! We will forever be grateful!

th my husband and I living in Midland, Texas and my parents in Houston, Tracy was SUPER helpful in recommending Austin vendors and coordinating details when my mom and/or I couldn't be there to meet in person. All of her vendor recommendations were excellent and she saved us so many hours of research by recommending great people! Anytime I had questions, Tracy always got back to me in a timely manner with all the info I needed. Three weeks before the wedding I realized I wanted the "day-of" paper items to go in a different direction than what I had originally planned... Tracy immediately jumped on it with one of her go-to vendors, they worked diligently to freshen up how to present our wedding theme, and I was truly amazed when I walked into our reception and saw how beautiful everything looked! The day of our wedding moved smoother than I could ever have imagined; everything ran on time and flowed exactly as Tracy said it would in our final planning meeting a month before the wedding. So many of our friends and family have since raved about how perfect everything went on our special day and we seriously owe it all to Tracy and her team, and all the vendors she recommended. And honestly I think I am most grateful for the fact that I didn't have to do or worry about a single thing on our wedding day because I knew Tracy had it all under control. If you want a beautiful wedding day that flows perfectly and is better than anything you could have ever imagined, HIRE TRACY!

er staff were very professional and thorough in details and diligent in getting me the best prices for all my transportation needs. I would recommend using Events by Decision for all your wedding needs.

took care of things I had not even thought about! She truly made our day come together beautifully! Tracy and her staff are absolute PROs! IF I had to do it again, I would choose Tracy! I love that she even keeps up with you AFTER the wedding!

dors and she did that and beyond! I recommend her to everyone in the Austin area because she is that good! We couldn't have had the smooth day of or planning process without her!!

of the venue-giving me ideas of what linens/flowers would go with the venue and set timelines for the wedding day (I could go on and on!). Tracy and her team work with you and ensure that the day goes to plan. On the day of, Michelle and Tracy helped execute the most amazing night ever. My friends and family are still raving about the night and how spectacular it was.

pros. They are thorough, efficient, and just total babes to work with. You make so many small decisions along the way, that it's hard to piece together what the final event will look like, but Tracy and her team totally rocked it. They manage their time and their clients with ease, and always make themselves available to chat - making me feel like I was their top priority. Even though they manage multiple brides and events every.weekend. I can't thank Tracy and her team enough for helping me achieve my DREAM WEDDING!

the A team on my big day and most of that was due to Tracy's vendor recommendations. My wedding was everything I hoped it would be and more and I have to give Tracy the credit

ning your wedding in Austin. In my case, Tracy came HIGHLY recommended. Right after I signed my contract at Ma Maison I asked Karen (the owner) if she had any recommendations for planners in the area and she said: call Tracy she is hands down the best! However I decided to do my research because I wanted to take the time to assemble the very best in the business and I knew that choosing our wedding planner was the most important decision after the venue, so I didnt take it lightly. After all the research and several interviews I wish I listened to Karen and signed the contract with Tracy right there and then because I got to the same conclusion...Tracy is by far the BEST wedding planner in the area and the best person to coordinate a Ma Maison wedding. She knows this venue and all the vendors around the area like the palm of her hand, and just like in real estate its all about location, in the wedding industry its all about the relationships and partnerships that your coordinator builds with other vendors and Tracy is the girl to have in your corner! She is so well connected and uses these to help each one of her brides accomplish the wedding of her dreams and solve any issues that might arise. We had at least two major problems that I can think of that Tracy solved with just one phone call and saved us A LOT of money. She was able to recommend the BEST vendors in the area and thanks to her we were able to assemble the "A team". She was so flexible with us and was able to accommodate weekend visits since we were from out of town to help us pick linens, rentals, etc and lets not even talk about the ONE MILLION emails and phone calls that Tracy had to endure throughout our LENGTHY wedding planning, that she sooo patiently returned. I was a very detailed oriented and continuously made additions and changes and she was super understanding and patient. I know our wedding was quite a challenge and not the typical wedding given that we planned a Mexican-Colombian destination wedding in Texas but she took this challenge head on and rocked it! She offered her address so I could send multiple decor items and things I ordered online (that way I didnt have to carry as many things with me from Houston). She did a very detailed timeline and coordinated the SUPER complicated transportation schedule and my almost 30 wedding vendors. The day of the wedding she made sure we had a private dinner, she brought our signature cocktails so we could try them and was able to tame our crazy latin wedding party! Finally lets discuss the AMAZING design!! The ceremony and reception space were absolutely STUNNING and out of the pages of a magazine, I could not believe my eyes! It was everything I have dreamed and more! Tracy worked tirelessly until 4 am as our reception ended late and everything was PERFECTION. She packed all of our stuff in our car, sent us away with plenty of food and cake. She even went out of her way and returned all the unused alcohol that otherwise we would have to take with us to Houston (we couldnt return it on a Sunday). For this and many more reasons , if you are looking for a wedding planner in Austin give my girl Tracy a call! Thank you soo much Tracy, Jorge and I are your number one fans!!

cy over other wedding planning/coordination services. She provides a list of itemized services, each with its own price. So if you help with stationery, for example, you pay X amount for her to take charge of this particular thing. In the planning process, she makes herself available to talk you through whatever you need. She also combs through your contracts with other vendors to catch mistakes and verify you're getting all that you paid for. On the day-of, she does an excellent job making the day run smoothly as possible and helping you have the best time possible. Highly recommended!

the day! She is super organized and has fantastic ideas. It's because of Tracy I was able to have my dream wedding!

worry about anything because she's always on top of everything. She's very bubbly and a sweet person and is very accommodating to your needs. She meets with you and goes over things with you, stays in touch via emails and handles things with your vendors! Wedding night came and she had everything under control, had me and everyone where we needed to be and knew every step of the way what to do next while coordinating with other vendors. Anytime I needed her to do anything for me id just call and shed get it handled! Wouldn't of been able to do it without her. Thank you Tracy!!! Love ya for everything you've done for us!!

our rental decisions, and had lots of recommendations for vendors she trusts. I felt the transition ran smoothly when she took over the week of the wedding. She had all our contracts and I had complete faith she knew exactly what I wanted and how to make it happen. Several people told me to not stress prior to the big day. They said if anything goes wrong, no one will notice but me. I literally didn't have a care in the world other than celebrating my new wife. I put my faith in Tracy and she delivered. I can think of nothing that went wrong. That is either a testament to my amazing wedding planning skills, luck, or Tracy's execution. If anything went wrong, I had no idea. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would emphatically recommend her to anyone I know. P.S.- Tracy is sneaky and can keep a secret. She conspired with my wife to surprise me with a wedding videographer.

a total professional in her field and demonstrated this through her knowledge on every little detail and the respect she received from every vendor. Tracy was a joy to work with the entire time and helped my wife and I make the best decisions on hundreds of matters. Our wedding turned out amazing and we owe the majority of it to EBD! Tracy was crucial the week of to coordinate vendors and make sure we were clued in on everything. Come the day of, Tracy and Vanna went above and beyond their duties. They kept the flow of the big day smooth, even when we fell behind schedule they were calm, while showing strong leadership to keep us on track and not worried about a thing. Plus they never left us without a drink in our hand! From the grooms perspective, I could never imagine have taking a wedding on without EBD.

that complemented ours perfectly. Tracy lived up to that by creating and executing on our combined vision. She was honest with us in times where we wanted to do something that was inconsistent with the overal feel of the event and supportive where it really mattered. She saved us A TON of money by finding better deals, with 100% better look! Our wedding was described as "the best wedding" by most our guests, even the really brutally honest ones. The linens and decor were gorgeous! If there were issues on the day, we barley knew because Tracy and her team had it covered. The best day of my life was brought to you by Tracy Collins!!!

I never have to worry about wedding details being missed because she is very on top of things and keeps everyone informed! If you need a top notch planner, Tracy is the one for you! She's nothing short of amazing!

're excited to hire Tracy for both our 'day-of' coordination and for assistance with the overall design elements of the wedding. Leading up to the big day, Tracy went above and beyond in every possible way, and she and her amazing assistant Vanna then executed flawlessly on the coordination day-of. Tracy's extensive real-life experience, industry connections, creative 'outside-the-box' mentality, and can-do attitude allowed our dream wedding to be a reality. Coming from someone who has difficulty making decisions, and a couple who often has differing opinions, she made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. She was phenomenal with her communication, always timely and responsive. She took our vague ideas and concepts and developed them into a spectacular event. She made us feel very comfortable with our budget upfront, and offered suggestions for vendors who did the same. Our guests cannot stop raving about how gorgeous the day was, how blown away they were with all the details, and how much fun they had at the reception. As for the coordination aspect, in the weeks prior to the wedding Tracy developed an extensive timeline that took into account every detail under the sun... wow did that pay off. On the day of Tracy and Vanna were over-accommodating, calm, positive, and attentive-- everything you would want in a coordinator. Its no wonder our amazing venue had nothing but great things to say about these gals! We cannot sing their praises more, they were amazing. Working with EBD beyond exceeded all of our expectations. On behalf of my groom, our parents and our wedding party, we provide our highest recommendation for Events By Decisions!!! If you are looking to work with the best of the best in the Austin-area, Events by Decisions is it!!

during the day of the week of the wedding. The wedding day was so relaxing and fun. Yes I said relaxing!!!!! She is so organized that the wedding went off without a hitch. She was the go to person with all of the vendors during the week of the wedding so that the bride isn't really stressed at all. I love her creative ideas!!!!!!! She really thinks outside the box!!!!!!!!! The best choice my daughter made was having Tracy as her wedding planner. She works so hard to make the brides dream come true!!!!! She is like a 15 on a scale of 1-10.

gh email/phone leading up to the day of. In my package, I had a few extra meetings, but she even offered to help me with linens - which totally took my wedding above and beyond. Tracy has an AMAZING eye - and is perfectly parts sweet and sassy - for when vendors or groomsmen get out of line ;). She is always in your corner - no matter what the request is, and that is extremely important to have the day of your wedding and leading up to it. She was full of great ideas to improve the wedding during our planning process, and without her my wedding probably would have been a huge flop. She really takes the time to get to know you and the groom, to understand your vision/tastes and tailor your wedding. Plus, the wine + dinner dates with her are so fun, you forget the reason you are there is for the wedding :) Leading up to the wedding, Tracy is VERY thorough, having you fill out a questionnaire which is very detailed. With this, you discuss the details, family dynamics, etc. to make sure the day of is as smooth as possible. From this info, she creates a timeline, layout, and day of packing list. This is awesome, because as a result of her planning and organization, all vendors are on the same page as to expectations the day of. I honestly can not say enough great things about Tracy and her assistant Vanna. Tracy was so willing to help out during my final walk through to add some drapings at the venue, getting them at a great price due to her great relationships with other vendors. Tracy helped me take my wedding above and beyond all my expectations and completely floored me the day of, leaving me speechless with what she had put together. The drapings, linens, the layout, everything was absolutely PERFECT!! She even helped me take care of a few hiccups due to a difficult vendor the week of - she was the point of contact taking off any stress of the bride. The day of the wedding, Tracy took care of a few obnoxious guests without interrupting anything that night for either of me or my husband. Our drinks were never empty the entire night - it was like she knew what we needed before we asked. She had drinks waiting for us directly after the ceremony and helped coordinate a private dinner for the Groom and I in the bridal suite during pictures, so we could have a few minutes alone. Additionally, she filled the limo for the ride to the hotel with snacks and drinks for us, in addition to our guestbook and Photo Booth book so we would have something to look at from the night on our way. It was so thoughtful and sweet! Tracy is honestly so much more than a wedding coordinator - she has become someone who I consider a friend, and I am looking forward to catching up with a wine date ASAP! XOXOXO EKP+ERS

the Bride) like the most honored guest and relieved of all stress due to Tracy's giant assist. Our second wedding I was prepared to give it all to Tracy and my daughter. Tracy proves to be the intercessor between Mothers and daughters making the experience so much easier and all the more sweet. She has wonderfully creative ideas but open to our wishes as well. Her experience and tenacity with vendors is of tremendous value. I have witnessed my own friends trying to accomplish it all from start to finish regardless of the size of the weddings. They are left exhausted and wishing they could have remembered each lovely detail instead of tending to each one! And the final details leading up to and the day of the wedding are staggeringly huge. We count her as our friend and valued each of her ideas. I am so pleased to recommend Tracy and Events By Decision to all who are seeking to make their event all the more memorable and special!
