Reviewed On 6/20/2020 by Kayla C
Tracy & her assistant were absolutely amazing from the first meeting to get an idea of who we are as a couple, through the entire planning & designing process, all the way to the end of our wedding night! They took the time to understand my hus...
band and I’s vision for our wedding and helped make it better than we could have ever imagined. Tracy does the best job of guiding you through all the millions of design decisions and even pushes you a little outside the comfort zone, which was exactly what I needed as a very non-creative/visual person. She took each of my ideas and thoughts and turned them into a wedding day that reflected my husband and I’s love for each other. One of the most memorable and special moments of our wedding day was the private dinner Tracy set up for us while our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and the main room was being prepared for the guests. My husband and I were very thoughtfully pulled into the private grooms suite where Tracy had Our plates and drinks set up. We were able to slow the moment down and we’re actually able to eat our food(as I know most couples that eat with their guests get pulled away to greet everyone and end up eating very little or none at all). By us having a private dinner, we were able to spend the entire time while our guests were eating, going table to table saying hi to every single person, which was so special. Tracy’s team team created a perfect detailed timeline and schedule that made the entire day flow so easily with zero stress. All in all, I would recommend TCE to every bride!!

We hired Tracy Collins Events for our wedding on 3/31/19. As we started our wedding planning we had no idea what to expect or how much effort it was going to take to pull off everything we were imaging. TCE's experience was extremely helpful w...
hen deciding on how we could put together the wedding we wanted but also in the budget we needed. I think the most valuable aspect of TCE was on the wedding day when it felt we did not have to worry or think about anything. We enjoyed the entire day with friends & family while everything was taken care of behind the scenes. There was not one time during the wedding that we were asked to make a decision about anything. TCE took care of everything and let us enjoy the night. It was well worth the investment and I can't imagine our wedding would have been as fun or as stress-free without them.

Our wedding coordinator, Tracy Collins was OVER-THE-TOP in all she did, and ON TOP of every single detail!!! She made our daughter’s and son-in-law’s wedding and reception simply perfect! There are not enough words to adequately describe Trac...

Tracy is truly beautiful inside and out! She is talented beyond compare!!! As the Mother of the bride, Tracy insured that everyone, including me, enjoyed stress-free and enjoyable months of planning, and she made sure that the wedding day and evening reception was amazing in all ways. Most all of our guests told us that ‘this was the very best wedding they had ever attended’!!!! This was all due to Tracy. Many of our guests asked for the name of our wedding coordinator. We gladly recommended her to many, many people. Almost one year after the wedding, we are still singing her praises!! All of Tracy’s vendor recommendations were exceptional. Together with Tracy’s supervision, the planning, preparations, wedding day and evening reception was everything we could have ever dreamed!! We all have marvelous memories of this treasured time. Plus we have gained a lifelong friend in Tracy. She is truly THE BEST EVER!

What to say about Tracy "Dream-Maker" Collins?  I live in LA, but was getting married in Austin.  At first, my mom and I thought we could tackle everything on our own, but quickly realized planning a wedding is no small feat.  So my mom began c...
alling around to different planners, while I called a couple of other vendors.  The florist I spoke with (and ended up using who was amazing - Flora Fetish) raved about Tracy.  I mentioned this to my mom, who immediately called her, and Tracy answered on the first ring. An hour later, they were best frends and we had ourselves a wedding planner. My husband and I wanted to get married on my parents' land in Driftwood, which is pretty rural and definitely not "wedding ready."  Tracy was not phased, and handled each request, each (of the many) challenges, and each task with the utmost of ease, professionalism, confidence, and mind-boggling capability - I literally never saw her sweat even when I was certain the hurdles were just too great.  And the final product was the most beautiful wedding I could have ever imagined, exceeding every single expectation I had ever had for my dream day.  Thank you, Tracy and team, for making the best day of our lives even better!

Tracy is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! She is a creative genius! My husband and I hired Tracy as our Wedding Planner and Coordinator and that was the best decision ever! From start to finish, Tracy was so fantastic, so well thought out and planned and had suc...
h creative ideas. I totally trusted her from day one and when it got to the day of the wedding, I felt completely at ease because I knew everything would be beautiful and taken care of. Even when I was stressed (planning a Texas wedding from NYC) Tracy would immediately respond to my text/call/message and be like okay let’s jump on the phone. She listened to all my ideas/needs/wants and made my dreams a reality! My husband and I only had a few weekends to go to Texas to go to meetings/viewings and she made it all happen and was so efficient! We also loved working with her team, especially Allison, who was also always readily available to answer questions. I have to say my favorite moment with Tracy was going to Marquee Rentals and watching her visually create our reception in front of us. I was in shock and it was like she waived a magic wand and had put a beautiful spread together. I HIGHLY recommend Tracy and her team of experts for your big day! You can not only trust her but know she will deliver fabulous results and a wedding that will be everything you wanted and more! Thank you Tracy Collins Events! We love you!

ace. Obviously, my husband and I had very little knowledge of vendors to work with, or where to begin as far as organizing a large event. Tracy took our hand and guided us through the entire process. What I love most about Tracy is the fact that she gave us the freedom to plan our day to make it about us, but challenged us to think outside of the box as far as our style, making our wedding high class and fun. Tracy went out of her way to help us stay under budget and honestly, became a sweet friend of mine throughout the process, keeping me laughing every time we connected. Our guests exclaimed that our day could not have gone more flawlessly, which I know was in extra large part because of Tracy. 10/10 would hire Tracy and recommend her team to all future brides and grooms.

The wedding was held flawlessly in our back yard! Outside weddings present additional concerns not present with indoor weddings. We started working with Tracy very early and quickly became confident in her ability to put a great team together...
. She had us plan for the possibility of adverse weather, and she followed the weather closely with a special app. While we had a close call, she let us know a day or two before that adverse weather was not going to be a problem, and it wasn't. The weather, however, was cooler than we had hoped. After deciding with Tracy in mid-afternoon of the wedding day that we needed propane heaters, she took care of it and once again, we received many comments from attendees that the heaters were appreciated. One thing that was particularly clever was two very special bar drinks she had prepared that were named after our son and daughter-in-law's two pups. It went over extremely well with the attendees, many of whom commented that they were terrific drinks. Tracy helped us select a caterer (Austin Catering) that provided a truly excellent meal with a choice of two very well prepared entrees. The meal and the layout in the yard for the meal was again a source of many comments from attendees. Tracy guided us in the layout for the wedding service, and it too was excellent with many comments from attendees. Tracy guided us through the wedding procedure and cued the the string music group. She stayed for the reception with her assistant Annalise to make sure things went as planned; they were low-key in their presence and we were extremely pleased with their efforts for making a great evening. I don't think we could have had a better back yard experience for a wedding. Tracy and her team were the very best!!

lanners (I’m from West Virginia and lived in Austin, TX and wanted to get married there) and she called me and told me she was in the phone with this lady named Tracy for two hours and she was sold! I spoke to her the first time soon after and was sold!!!! She always listened to my mother and I but also gave amazing suggestions that only the a great wedding planner would know (I.e. your budget, cheaper options, prettier options). She is a go getter and you can see that. I recently was with a handful of my groomsman and they ALL spoke about her. She knows how to keep the boys in line (which especially with mine group, can be hard). Tracy has so many resources and ideas under her belt it is amazing to see her at work! I have personally seen her amazing organization and work ethic by going the extra mile. She truly was amazing. And I know I can say... while I was in school and my mother in West Virginia.... she made my Texas wedding a helluva good time. AKA... she’s the bomb.

We just LOVE Tracy and can't thank her enough for the incredible things she did to make our wedding dreams come true. My husband and I were truly novices in event planning and didn't have much help from family but Tracy stepped in and she works...
miracles. She is everything you could ever want in an event planner and more. She is organized, timely, professional, honest, and invested. Throughout the entire planning process, her input was invaluable. She made sure we were getting a fair deal from every vendor and gave us such peace of mind. For that alone, her work is priceless. On the day of the wedding, having her there made everything such a breeze. Her primary concern is only the happiness of the bride and groom. She’s always 10 steps ahead of any potential problem before it arises. There was not a hair out of place, down to the smallest detail. Tracy and Lauren are amazing and simply get things done. You’ll be so glad to have her as part of your team and she will make every part of the wedding easier and infinitely more beautiful.

When my wife and I started the wedding planning process, I figured as the groom I would stay away from most interactions with our wedding planner. Going into our introductory meeting, my thought was, "She doesn't care about my thoughts anyways....
" Within minutes of sitting down with Tracy and her team, I knew my initial assumptions couldn’t have been more wrong. The TCE team does a wonderful job engaging with both sides of the couple from the start to ensure the wedding is representative of both people involved. After each meeting, we always looked forward to our next meeting with Tracy because each time was so much fun. Admittingly, I never thought I would say wedding planning was fun, but TCE sure knows how to make planning a blast!…..Special shout out to Terrence, who is basically a unicorn, and always found a way to keep me entertained/engaged when Tracy could see me losing focus…..Throughout our entire year working with Tracy, there was never a doubt that she had wedding design and planning under control. Whether it was vendors, linens, decorations, or even programs/menus, Tracy made sure everything was taken care of and there was nothing to worry about! Most impressive of all is her ability to make everything seem effortless and organized. Not only is Tracy uber-talented when it comes to planning a wedding, she is able to connect with you on a deeper level than “what colors do you like” to understand how to bring personal touches to the wedding. Perfect example was my wife’s love for late night pizza. Without bothering us on the day-of, Tracy found a way to assemble individual, decorated Pizza boxes for guests as a late-night snack. Our wedding guests went on to call the pizza LEGENDARY. It is truly amazing how Tracy can excel at both the big picture and all the little details that go into the wedding day. Everything about the wedding day turned out perfect, and we have TCE to thank for that. My wife and I still consider Tracy a gift from God who made our wedding more perfect than we could have ever imagined. There truly isn’t enough words available to describe how amazing Tracy Collins and her team are, so do yourself a favor and let her coordinate the wedding of your dreams. Aside from saying yes to getting married, working with TCE is the best decision you will make throughout the entire planning process!! (And yes, I am a groom who wanted nothing to do with wedding planning. I wanted my work to be done after the proposal. SO GLAD THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN 😊)

Tracy and her team were so wonderful to work with! I've dreamt about my wedding my whole life like any other girl, but when I got engaged and actually had to start planning it I didn't know where to start...and I'm an organized, Type A person! ...
From the start, I could tell Tracy was the expert! She made it very clear that she and her team would always be available during the planning process to answer questions and give input. Tracy even met with me and my mom to pick out table cloths and table settings, and she really brought my vision to life. Closer to the big day, Tracy and my amazing day-of coordinator Michelle, met with us for lunch to go over details with a fine toothed comb, and came armed with their laptops, planning sheets and a big binder full of all of my wedding details. We never felt rushed, and left that meeting knowing we had nothing to worry about. They also coordinated our vendors and made an intricate schedule to make sure the big day would go on without a hitch! Unfortunately, it rained on my big day when we had planned an outdoor ceremony, but Tracy and Michelle assured us our plan B would be beautiful...and it was! Even though I was disappointed about having to go with our plan B, I wasn't worried one bit about the last minute change because they had planned for it! Michelle and George, Tracy's assistants who assisted us the day of were absolutely the MVPs of our wedding. They were waiting for us with drinks after we said our "I Do's", checked in on us throughout the night, and transitioned all of our personal items, decor and luggage, into my parent's cars and our getaway car at the end of the night. They truly made our big day so special for everyone, since no one had to worry about those details. All in all, the whole planning process with Tracy Collins and her team was fabulous, and any bride would be lucky to have them coordinate her big day!!

On the flip side of that, I can tell that she has had brides very much the opposite of our vision with a bigger budget and she executed their days in such a beautiful way, too. Day of, we had Terrence and Michelle, who exceeded every expectation we had! I could have asked anything (and did!) and it seemed like they were already five steps ahead of it.

For the year that we worked with Tracy and her team (Shout out to Michelle and Terrence), everything ran more smoothly than I could have ever imagined. It got to the point where I knew Tracy understood our vision so well, I could trust her 100% to make decisions on our behalf. Tracy and the team were so enjoyable to work with, my husband actually enjoyed being involved with every aspect of the planning.

The day ran so smoothly and the whole week leading up to it Tracy was working into the wee hours of the night to make sure all the finishing touches were sorted out, without adding extra stress to our last minute preparation. The Tuesday before the wedding, Tracy spent 7 hours with us making sure that we were happy with every final detail heading into the weekend. We are still hearing from our guests that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. We owe Tracy and her team a million thank yous, they are truly a gift from God.

I used Tracy Collins Events for my recent wedding. My venue required that I have a Day of coordinator and I am so glad that they did. Everyone should at least have a Day Of Coordinator. I hired Tracy for Design and Décor and Day Of Coordination...
. Tracy definitely knows what she is doing and has tons of contacts in the business. She was helpful with Design and Décor; however, I think she is used to working with brides with unlimited or very large wedding budgets. The only times we disagreed was when I was trying to stay within budget and she was suggesting things that while they would be beautiful, would have put me over the top. I’ve seen the weddings she has done and she does create beautiful weddings, so I knew she would do the same for me, just wasn’t comfortable doubling my budget in order to do so. In the end, we did go over budget but we picked and chose the items that were important to me and went over budget there rather than on things that I didn’t feel were necessary. She has a group of vendors that she prefers to works with which are great but I did choose several of my own that she had never worked with to save some money. My vendors did just as good if not better than her more pricey vendors. The Day Of Coordination is where Tracy really shines and proved her worth. She was there on time and had everyone coordinated and everything went smoothly. If there were any issues, I was not made aware of them (and still am not) and that’s the most important thing for a Bride. She and her assistant Michelle were very professional they made sure we stayed on schedule and most importantly that the Groom and I always had a drink in our hand after dinner. Tracy gets things done and is an amazing Day Of Coordinator.

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.

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!!

Tracy has to be one of the most connected people in the Austin-area wedding industry. She knows everyone, and has tons of suggestions to help you make the event you want, precisely how you want it. Her business model is what made me choose Tra...
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!

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.

'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!!!

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

ly amazing and I know without a doubt that my wedding day would not have gone as perfectly as it did if not for her. As I said, I hired Tracy and selected the partial + month of planning package. I also added a couple of extra planning meetings a la carte which was a great decision! My advice to brides though is to go ahead and go with the full service planning if you can – I wished I had just because Tracy was so great and amazing doing just partial + month of that I realize I would have saved myself a lot of stress and worrying if I had done full service. Her prices are very affordable compared to a lot of other coordinators/planners in the Austin area and she has great tips for saving money on a lot of different wedding expenses. Even doing partial service though, I knew when my wedding weekend came around everything would go smoothly and that my wedding was in good hands with Tracy. A couple of weeks out from my wedding she put together an amazing day of itinerary for where everyone in the wedding party was supposed to be when. It also included where all the vendors needed to be when and who was bringing what where. She made sure all of the vendors were aware of the schedule and sent all of them the itinerary so everyone was on the same page. She learns what your wedding style is and what you want it to look like and makes sure to do everything she can to give you just that. She is also great under pressure! There were a couple of minor hiccups (none that were at her fault) on my wedding day that I didn’t even notice until she mentioned them to me because she handled them so well and made sure they were resolved in a way she knew I would want so that I was able to enjoy my day instead of having to worry and make decisions. Tracy and her assistant completely looked out for my best interest while at the same time working so well with all of my other vendors. I never thought that my wedding and reception would look exactly like I pictured it in my head (especially because I was on a budget), but they definitely did and I know they wouldn’t have if I hadn’t hired Tracy.

Tracy discussed all the aspects of the things that were important to me and we hit the ground running with meeting the best vendors in Austin.

Tracy's network is vast, and she's established a rapport with the top vendors in every area that is second to none. She helped us pull off the most beautiful & unique wedding in a short amount of time.

Tracy became not only my right-hand through the process that kept me sane, but also a good friend that I trusted to get the job done. She was with me every step of the way in selecting vendors, meeting with them, and bringing the grand vision to life. On the day before and day-of, she was a rock star that literally handled a million things at once while taking all the stress off of me so I could just enjoy my wedding. Her price is also reasonable relative to the service she provides. Our wedding has now been chosen to be a feature in the Dec 2016 issue of The Knot and there is no way I could have done it without her! Choosing a wedding planner is THE most important decision you'll make. I wanted creativity, excellence, and a wedding everyone would always remember in a very short amount of time. She delivered on all accounts! Our friends & family are still talking about what an amazing event our wedding was, and I have her to thank.

After that meeting she created a really detailed day-of timeline that also included a packing list for me and a layout of the venue. The week prior to the wedding she emailed the timeline out to all of our vendors so everyone knew that she was their point of contact going forward, knew what time to arrive and where to set up, etc. This was perfect because the week prior I didn’t have to answer a ton of email questions from vendors. Tracy coordinated our rehearsal with our officiant and we did a run through a couple of times. She even met with us a little bit early so that she could pick up some of our décor items (bridal portraits, toasting glasses, etc) so that we wouldn’t have to worry about taking them to the venue on our wedding day. Our wedding day went seamlessly. Tracy met us at the venue two hours before the ceremony and put up décor, made sure everything was in place, then coordinated the ceremony. She even scheduled in a few minutes for my new husband and I to sit down together before the reception and have dinner. During the reception she organized the bouquet toss, cake cutting, everything.

My caterer, who ended up being the WORST choice of all of my vendors, was also in charge of my linens. When we arrived to set up the day before, the linen colors I had chosen were NOT present. Tracy jumped into action immediately & reassured me she would fix my caterer's incompetency... And boy, did she ever fix it! Not only was I not charged anything extra, but Tracy made a phone call to a linen vendor she knew, drove to the vendor's location, & picked up the exact colors I had planned on using (which were rather specific colors, mind you) - She returned w/ them promptly & we set up our tables - Problem solved! :-) Had I not hired her, I would've been stuck w/ boring ivory & chocolate linens that were NOT what I had requested. She truly saved my color scheme & overall ambiance of my wedding! My 88 year-old grandmother (Nana) walked me down the aisle. Her ankles tend to swell, so she had propped up her feet while waiting for the ceremony to begin. Once she tried on her shoes, the swelling had gone down in her feet which caused her shoes to be way too big! She already walks w/ a cane, so adding ill-fitting shoes to the mix while walking me down the aisle would be disastrous. Tracy once again came to our rescue!! She happened to wear the same size shoe, & she let Nana borrow her adorable, undoubtedly-pricey flats to escort me down the aisle. How many wedding coordinators would do that for a client?! I am willing to bet very few. Tracy was on top of EVERY detail during the ceremony & reception. She ensured that everything was running on-schedule, took care of the money we were given from our "Money Dance" - & her assistant even ran to the nearby store to purchase more beer when we ran out of a specific brand. I never knew that any of these hiccups occurred until we returned from our honeymoon, as Tracy remained calm & diverted the stress I would have felt onto herself. I could not have chosen a more professional, organized, helpful, sweet, & all-around perfect wedding coordinator. I HIGHLY recommend Tracy to any bride-to-be. She truly saved my Big Day & helped fulfill my dreams of a

STAY AWAY FROM EDI AND TRACY. It was the biggest mistake in my wedding. I am not sure how someone can run a business and completely lack in ethics and professionalism, but she has found a way. I would have rated her less than one star if it...

Erin, I am very sorry you feel that way, however, your date was booked and reserved on the EDI calendar since the contract was signed, yet after multiple attempts to reach you, I was never able to get any response, nor did I ever hear from you....

Tracy was so helpful from day 1! During our initial conversation, she had so many great ideas for our Christmas wedding, which really inspired some of my own ideas later down the road. Throughout the entire wedding planning process (15 + months...
), she was able to provide me with inside tips on how to keep a balanced budget, which I (along with my parents) greatly appreciated. I was planning my Austin wedding remotely, and she made it so easy to keep in contact with her. She made herself available by phone and email to discuss any questions I had and insisted that I copy her on all of my communication with other vendors so that she could stay up-to-date. She was also very easy to work with when it came to scheduling onsite and in-person meetings in Austin. In addition to providing day-of coordination, she helped me select specialty linens and attended my final planning session with the reception site's coordinator. She worked closely with me and my reception site's coordinator to plan the menu, reception layout, and timeline for the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, and Tracy and Jeff of Events by Decision (EDI) definitely helped make that happen! They ensured our other vendors stuck to the game plan and helped to smoothly guide everyone involved in the wedding through pre-wedding pictures, the ceremony, post-wedding pictures, the reception, and even delivered our presents and other wedding goodies to our suite before we returned. Tracy and Jeff were a huge help, and I can't thank them enough for helping my now husband and me turn our wedding dreams into a reality! I highly recommend using Events by Decision for any of your wedding or event planning needs!

planners, and the second I talked to Tracy I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. While we only spoke over the phone initially, we instantly connected because of her open and fun personality and her BRILLIANT ideas. I immediately felt a wave of relief because I could tell she had the work ethic and ingenuity it took to help me plan the wedding of my dreams, and I could tell she would be able to honor and execute my vision. I hired Tracy as a "day of" coordinator, but she was SO much more. She made herself available to me and my fiance for the entire year we were engaged. She constantly kept us in the loop about wedding deals going on around Austin (i.e. linen sales) and always offered advice on how we could save money and time without compromising the quality of our wedding - a HUGE PLUS for any bride. She stepped into an even more active role about a month before the wedding by preparing the detailed (down to the minute!) timeline and coordinating every possible detail with all of the vendors... a task I could have NEVER done on my own. On the wedding day, I sat in my bridal suite and sipped mimosas while Tracy and her fabulous team were hard at work. She took care of all of the final preparations and last minute details and handled anything and everything that came up. More importantly, she helped me stay calm because I knew she had everything under control and all I had to do was walk downt the aisle. At the church and the reception, she and her team executed everything flawlessly behind the scene as to not take away from us and the guests, and yet they always seemed to magically appear out of nowhere when they were needed (to orchestrate the boquet/garter toss and the cake cutting, to hand us a fresh drink, etc.). From start to finish Tracy did everything she had promised and SO much more, and I can never thank her enough. My wedding was more than I could have ever dreamed of, and I owe it all to Tracy and her team. By hiring Events by DECISIONS I not only got a team that brought my dream wedding to life, but I gained a friend in the process. Tracy and her team are more than great professionals, they are great people, and any bride would be lucky to work with them. In my mom's words, "I don't know how we could have done the wedding without her."

ssist). I communicated our vision to Tracy and indicated that when selecting vendors I didn't want more than 3 choices. Tracy always came up with options that were in line with our vision and price range. We were really impressed by the way that Events by Decision was co-ordinated all of the vendors and guests on the wedding day. Even though no one wants to admit it, something will always go wrong on your wedding day. 40 minutes into the wedding reception, we ran out of my dad's favorite whiskey (it also turned out that it was my cousins’ favorite as well!). This was not a problem for Tracy and Events by Decisions - they ran to the liquor store and got more of his favourite whiskey (I didn't even find out about this until later in the evening). They also picked up mosquito spray while they were out as a few guests had asked if there was any. Tracy and her team were personable and fun and had just the right amount of “nagging” to make sure that everything got done at the right time but without ever coming across as overbearing. They were also able to adapt to changes in the timetable to accommodate the Groom and the Bride’s Father’s last minute wishes. Events by Decision’s efforts, planning and attention to detail meant that the day went by seamlessly and allowed me to really enjoy the wedding. It was these little things that made me glad I used Events by Decisions.

Tracy completely blew all expectations I had out of the water and I KNOW it would not have been possible without her.
