Truly Together Event Co.

truly invaluable to our day!

a lot of rentals and moving parts. Melissa was meticulous and communicative, managing contracts with numerous vendors and executing our vision flawlessly. I would absolutely recommend her and TTEC to anyone looking for event planning services. 

fe, and that she was super organized and ON IT! She was incredibly helpful every step of the way, taught us so much about the wedding process, and was just a joy to work with. Planning a wedding can be daunting but she gave us a lot of confidence! Would hire her again in a heartbeat. 

ls with vendors and kept everything running super smooth on the wedding day. We didn’t have to think about anything but being present and enjoying the day, and we’re so grateful for that. Cassie also makes a point to take an approach inclusive of anything you might want or not want at a wedding. At the end of the day, your wedding is yours and she understands that perfectly! Very happy with our decision to work with Cassie and Truly Together.

ame without her. She was responsive, attentive to every detail, and on top of every inquiry and communication throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she and her team were completely on point, making everything run seamlessly. We 100% recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a wedding planner — she’s the reason our day was so perfect!

nd we would have been completely overwhelmed without her. She is communicative and organized, and worked with our relatively short wedding-planning timeline. My husband and I had extremely busy schedules during the planning process, which made it hard for us to stay on top of things, but Melissa was always kind and patient while keeping us on track to get things done on time. Looking back, the only thing we would have changed was going full service.

o interact with a number of the Truly Together team throughout the year of our planning, though we were lucky enough to work with Cassie Abbott (the owner) and Casey Chambers most directly. Both Cassie and Casey were incredible resources, providing my husband and I with their valuable expertise from day one. While it is hard to imagine that any event planning service could have matched Truly Together in any regard, their genuine investment in our wedding was so delightfully transparent. Their own joy and excitement for our wedding was an incredible delight, all while doing all of the hard work insofar as finding vendors for us to workin with, playing intermediary between us and those vendors, and ensuring that the day itself lived up to our expectations. Namely, as a queer couple in Texas, it was uniquely appreciated that Truly Together works exclusively with vendors that are queer-owned or queer-inclusive. At no point were my husband and I concerned about interacting with, or hiring, someone who was willing to take our money but unwilling to recognize us as a couple. All of this is because of Truly Together’s own impeccable values as wedding planners. I cannot recommend Truly Together enough, and I guarantee that any wedding planned by their team will be remembered well!

y stressful time. They expertly navigated the crisis when Royal Fig went out of business 45 days before our wedding, ensuring everything stayed on track. They were a tremendous resource, especially for planning the arrival of out-of-town guests during the F1 weekend, which we hadn't anticipated. Their expertise shone through, demonstrating they were true industry experts. On the wedding day, they did a fantastic job keeping everyone to the timeline, and we appreciated how they made sure we were constantly fed and hydrated. Overall, their vision for our big day closely matched our own, creating a beautiful and memorable experience. We highly recommend Truly Together Event Co to anyone seeking a dedicated, professional, and talented wedding planner.

, Cassie, I knew we were partnering with the right team. She was organized, she was 10 steps ahead, and she made our dream wedding come true - it was beyond our wildest dreams. She's incredibly patient, resourceful, and has a trick for just about everything in the book.It's been two months, and we are still getting compliments from our wedding day. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend working with Truly Together Event Co. You will be in GREAT hands!!!

we did! Our wedding was exaclt what we wanted (despite not having a huge vision of what we wanted) Casey kept us on time, and gave us great vendors and ideas to pick from, Very very happy with Casey and would highly recommend!

h Melissa/ Truly Together Event Co due to prices and a great initial conversation with Melissa who seemed to get our vision. Throughout the planning process, Melissa was great. She was organized and very on top of communication which was important for someone like me who is also a Type A planner. Would highly recommend working with Melissa and her team!

anning process and the day of the wedding, making it so much less daunting to plan. Cassie's biggest strength is how she provides process & structure for the wedding planning process. She is extremely organized, detail oriented, and well connected across the city. This helped us tremendously - from finding the venue to managing guest lists, negotiating vendor contracts, thinking about the "gotchas", common slip ups in the process, and more, Cassie put us in a much better position than we would have been in ourselves. If you're a couple that wants structure, guidance, and support from an amazing team look no further than Cassie & the Truly Together team!

extremely organized from the start, and our planning sessions throughout kept us on schedule and feeling comfortable every step of the way. She was very organized in vendor referrals and timelines, and brought us some excellent vendors that meshed perfectly with what the bride and groom's vision was for with their wedding day (and kept us on budget as well!). On the big day, Casey made sure everything was set up how we wanted, and kept everything running smoothly all night long. We received so many compliments from our guests about how awesome the reception was! Thank you for helping us give our daughter and new son-in-law the wedding of their dreams, Casey!

day went exactly according to plan and she made sure my husband and I had the best experience possible.

edding. I have never been involved in planning a wedding before my own, so I wouldn't have known where to start otherwise. The progress meetings were very helpful for keeping on track and moving things along. The venue walk-through made me realize a lot of things I hadn't thought about. Some good tweaks in our plans came out of the walk-through, thanks to Melissa's wealth of experience and lessons learned from tons of other weddings. The day of coordination was fantastic. The month of our wedding, my partner and I had just gone through a tough move out of our house into an apartment on top of all the wedding planning, and we were exhausted. I'm a project manager for my job, so I thought I had the stamina for this all of this, but by the morning of the wedding I was so burnt out that I wasn't capable of making one more decision or keeping track of anything at all. I had mush brain. Melissa and her assistant being there meant that I didn't have to worry about anything and I could be led along like a sheep in her pro hands. I didn't have to be at the venue at all the morning of the wedding so I was able to gather my nerves, relax and get ready with my girls. Everything at the venue was perfect when I showed up and we could focus on the important part- actually getting married. Melissa made sure we had food, drinks, water, everything we needed. She oversaw a room flip, all the timeline of events, and kept us updated about any changes or decisions, of which there were almost none. It just went perfectly smoothly, and if it didn't, I sure didn't notice or hear about it. Also, our elderly parents and family with young kids did not have the burden of staying until midnight to wait for vendors to pack out and to lock the venue. We returned to the venue the next day to cart our things away and do some final clean up, but most of it was already taken care of, which was so nice. Melissa is worth her weight in gold. Aside from being direct, professional, and SO on top of things (project manager traits which I really appreciate), Melissa was also kind, genuine, and made us feel special and cared for. If you don't want a wedding planner because you think you can do it all yourself, or want to save money... at the very least hire Truly Together as coordinators because we consider them the most essential vendor we had.

r values with vendors (all being LGBTQ+ and allies) and vetted all of the vendors to make sure they were the right fit. Cassie was attentive, supportive, CREATIVE and responsive through our 18 month planning process. She steered us in the right direction, on a feasible timeline, she designed a BEAUTIFUL wedding and it all ran super smoothly. She made our wedding so special and listened to all of our needs and desires.

ay of the wedding to really enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend using her, as she made things a breeze for my wife and me. We can’t stop raving about how great she was!

like she was always at least 5 steps ahead. There were zero details missed and her recommendations/suggestions pulled my wedding together. I even had a few vendors cancel on me and before I could even start the search for replacements....she already had lists for me. On the actual big day, our wedding ran SEAMLESSLY. I never had to worry about anything. I had one of the best days of my life and I can't thank Cassie enough for seeing it through. Hire Cassie, you can thank me later.

truly exceptional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of with meticulous precision. Samantha exuded patience and kindness throughout the entire process, always ready to listen to our concerns and offer guidance with a warm and understanding demeanor. On the wedding day itself, their incredible attention to detail shone through, making sure everything ran like clockwork. We didn't have to worry about a thing, allowing us to fully enjoy and cherish every moment of our special day. If you're in search of a wedding planner who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Truly Together. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them the perfect choice for creating the wedding of your dreams!

ncredible her services were. From our very first interaction, we knew we were in good hands. Cassie Abbott is a true professional with an impeccable eye for detail. She helped us navigate every step of the wedding planning process, from selecting the perfect venue to coordinating with vendors, designing the décor, and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. Her attention to detail with vendors was astounding, making sure every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Cassie and her team went above and beyond to ensure our daughter's special day was truly magical. She does so many things behind the scenes that we never even thought of. She had the ability to coordinate things that have never been done before with the venue to make our daughter’s wedding what we dreamed it would be. She works seamlessly with the vendors. She has a great relationship with her staff, outside vendors, and clients. This is imperative and she made it look easy! Her creativity and expertise were evident in every aspect of our wedding, and she made our vision come to life even better than we could have imagined. As someone who loves to plan parties and is a planner by nature, I had high expectations, and Cassie far surpassed them! She is calm, she is reassuring, she is confident and she is more than capable! Communication was always prompt and clear, making us feel well-informed and taken care of. Cassie genuinely cared about making our daughter’s wedding day unforgettable, and she delivered on that promise and then some. Our guests were blown away! And most importantly, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing she had everything under control. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only highly skilled but also truly passionate about creating magical moments, Cassie is the one. We can't thank her enough for making our daughter’s wedding day the best day of our lives. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a stress-free and stunning wedding experience! Angie

ttings, and the final touches on the chuppah came together beautifully. She helped us stay on track and made sure everything ran according to plan. We truly felt like we didn't have to worry about anything and could be fully present to enjoy the day. Not to mention, we are so appreciative of the talented vendors she helped us find, especially our band Uptown Drive—they were amazing! All of our guests kept saying it was the best wedding band they've ever seen. We also appreciate her patience and prompt communication throughout the entire process—she never made us feel like any of our questions were too trivial or unnecessary. We absolutely loved our day and there's no way we could have pulled it off without Melissa and Truly Together. Thank you for helping us achieve our dream wedding.

was very helpful. The forms that they sent kept us on track with hiring vendors and completing our to do list. Closer to the event, Casey's organization and communication skills proved to be even more helpful. She contacted all the vendors, was in constant communication with our venue, and she came to our final walk-through and rehearsal. She knew the exact plan, including the nitty gritty details, the entire time on the actual wedding day. We had so many comments about how smooth the entire wedding was, and it was due to Casey! Would highly recommend over and over again!

o relax and enjoy the wedding.

mes throughout the planning process catching little details and saving us money. Cassie is incredibly professional and friendly, very prompt in her responses and easy to bounce ideas off of. We elected to do the style & design package along with the coordination package to help us get a better visualization of our ideas and thoughts for the wedding. This ended up making things a lot easier with other vendors like the florist & bakery because we had a visual package to send them that displayed what we were going for. During the last month leading up to the wedding Cassie relieved so much stress and work off of our plates and helped to keep us on an appropriate timeline being accountable for getting things finished. There is so much that goes into a wedding that we certainly would have missed without her. On the day of everything went insanely smoothly, we were shocked at how perfect everything came together. Driving away from the wedding we looked at each other and simply said we wouldn't have changed a thing and Cassie played the largest part in that being a reality. She encouraged us to take a private dinner during part of the cocktail hour for some time to ourselves and to make sure we ate, I'm so appreciative as we would not have had time to eat otherwise and it was invaluable for us to have a quiet moment together after the ceremony. I love love to dance and at the reception every time I would start to think, "I should probably get some water" Cassie would pop up with a water for me. She truly took care of us throughout the entire night. If you are looking for a coordinator I cannot emphasize enough how much I would recommend Cassie and Truly Together Event Co. Thank you so much Cassie!!!

r us, to all the way through the planning process and day-of execution by Casey, they made it easy and it was such a relief to us having experts on our side. Casey and team really made sure we weren't worrying about anything on the day of our wedding and they were so trustworthy to get everything done and solve any issues without us even knowing about them. Plus, the flexibility to go above and beyond on our behalf in times of need. Highly, highly recommend Truly Together Event Co for any wedding or event coordinator, planning, and/or day-of needs!! We loved them!

find a planner that we loved, that we trusted, that we knew would keep our wedding on track and also one that knew our venue (Chateau Bellevue) inside and out. Cassie and Casey at TTE fit the bill 100000%. To say we had day-of planning is misleading as I’m pretty sure we tested the limit on the maximum number of questions we could possibly ask Casey in the months leading up to the wedding. :) She was always quick to respond, thorough with her responses and had a special knack for helping me escape the ‘spiraling’ that can sometimes happen with wedding decisions. TTE provides everything you could possibly need to keep yourself organized, find documents that might otherwise be lost in your inbox and helpful tips and tricks (e.g., gratuity recommendations). In addition to keeping us on track in the months leading up to our wedding, Casey made sure the day itself went absolutely perfect and reflected our vision. As an example, she placed blueberries on skewers for all of the guests water glasses so that our tables had one extra pop of our blue color! She had a way of being there any time we needed her while also working in the background to keep things moving so we could focus on our celebration. They tell brides to be prepared for things to go wrong, and I consider myself lucky that nothing did on our wedding day, and I credit that largely to the incredible planning by Casey and her team at TTE. You won’t regret hiring the TTE team (specifically Casey) for your big day!

ding up to the wedding and that they'd assist just on the wedding day really, but we could not have been more wrong!! In the months leading up to the wedding, Melissa met with us and emailed with us to make sure every detail of our wedding was in line with our vision. She asked our vendors questions I never would have thought to ask (but that reduced SO much anxiety), and I felt exciting and confident on our wedding day knowing that we were in great hands with Melissa and the rest of the TTE team. Our wedding day was absolutely magical, and I truly believe that was due to Melissa's creativity, insight, resourcefulness, attention to detail, and overall amazingness!! We cannot thank y'all enough!!!!

d helped us think through important details of our wedding day that we never would have considered otherwise. We immediately felt comfortable and cared for after meeting her and so very much appreciate everything she did to keep our special day running smoothly. We truly had no hiccups! You can't go wrong with Melissa or any of the TTE team.

who urged me to. I found Truly Together CO and was introduced to Melissa. Let me tell you, after the first virtual meeting I had with her... I knew that I needed her expertise. If I am being totally transparent, the main reason I initially went with Truly Together CO was because they were affordable. But once I met Melissa, I knew I made the right decision. From the jump, she was honest and upfront. You could tell she truly wanted to bring my vision to life, although at the time I was not even sure what exactly that was. They provide you with a portal that helps you consider EVERY single thing that could/would happen at a wedding and it allows you to stay very organized throughout the crazy process of planning a wedding. I emailed her constantly throughout the whole process looking for guidance and I always received an answer same day. I never thought twice about much of anything because selfishly.. I knew Melissa would make sure it was handled. When the wedding weekend finally came, she was on top of EVERYTHING. I had random guests coming up to me complimenting how hard Melissa and her team were working to ensure everything went smooth (she even made sure the groom and I had our drink of choice in hand and all of our stuff was packed away in our cars when it was time to leave). My wedding was 10 times better than I ever could have dreamed; and I believe I owe 99.9% of that credit to Melissa and Truly Together Co. Without them, I do not believe our wedding day would have been near as beautiful, organized and fun. If you are on the fence, this is your sign! Hire Truly Together Co for all of your needs, you will not regret it!

and we haven't ever done it before. We worked with Cassie and her team for 18 months, planning our wedding. She was exactly who we needed, an intentional, organized, thoughtful human who went above and beyond to include our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC family and friends in a meaningful way. Cassie helped us facilitate finding a venue, encouraged us through all the negotiations, played everything down to the minute, and even helped my parents understand all the various gratuities on our big day: truly full service! We even asked her team to help us with the rehearsal dinner and welcome party (drinks & desserts!) because they had already made such an impact on our reception; why wouldn't we want their help the whole weekend?! She helped us and our parents all enjoy the weekend. If anything went wrong, I had no clue; I was too busy dancing and being in the moment. Cassie and her team do exactly that: give you the peace of mind to be present at your wedding. From what we heard from our other vendors, from DJs to photographers, it is clear that she is fantastic not just to the couple but to everyone she works with.

did! Cassie was so communicative, as was Casey, our coordinator. Casey really made everything happen and was so kind and helpful, especially during the moments I felt overwhelmed. Would 100% recommend these awesome ladies!

h I could say it was my fault for being a bridezilla. Melissa hit the ground running right after our first meeting. I’m a project manager professionally and thought I had everything covered. I DID NOT. Melissa thought of so many things I didn’t think of and provided so many suggestions. My wedding day went 100% smoothly all because of her. I cannot recommend her enough.

ly as our planner. Our wedding was on November 26, 2022 and they helped us get started as soon as we booked them in February. Their online portal is SO helpful and everything you need in terms of planning. I can’t emphasize how kind and patient Cayce is — she is truly amazing at what she does and has such a calm demeanor. She always quickly responded to my messages (and evening texts) and made us feel so comfortable. We had a lot on our timeline and she managed the day so seamlessly. My entire family and wedding party loved her! If you're looking for a planning company, you can't go wrong with this one :)

r wedding. Cassie will keep your ideas moving forward, make immediate pivots when changes inevitably occur, and produce the wedding that you have envisioned. My partner and I were very impressed by the multitude of vendors, family members, and friends who expressed how amazing our planner was after working and interacting with her. Cassie and her team effectively handled our personalities with grace and went above and beyond on the day of our wedding. We are still reveling and know that we will forever remember our Wedding Day because of Cassie and her team at Truly Together Events.

wedding planner, especially if you have a job, are studying / applying / have anything else going on in your life: -She not only helped me get my dream wedding together by taking care of all the details tirelessly throughout the entire process -She connected me with the best budget friendly vendors and not only that but she shared insights with me that really help make impactful decisions (for example: DJ's who actually mix their own tracks as opposed to by-hire DJ's who just show up on the day of and play whatever) -People say the day of your wedding flys by and it sure does, but I can say I wasn't stressed about anything except not tripping on my own dress and saying my vows in person. -I had a cultural element to my wedding that Cassie went above and beyond to cater to and include.

ng a lot of the planning and organizing on our own, and I wasn't sure if it was worth it. But wow, come wedding day, Casey proved why they are worth all those 5-star reviews and the price. There were so many details, big and small, which were just handled perfectly without us even knowing. From getting the band set up to changing the entire catering layout on the fly, we didn't realize until after the fact how much of the logistics Casey handled expertly without our even knowing. Thanks, Casey, for letting us be present and enjoy our wedding day rather than focusing on all the tiny details. We couldn't have done it without you.

fore the wedding: As two very Type A brides, we were so stoked to find a queer wedding planner who was fun but also detail oriented. We were awestruck at how together and on top of everything Cassie and her team were. She not only planned our wedding, and countless other couples, but she ALSO planned her own wedding between the time we signed with her and our wedding date, and not once did we feel like we weren't being prioritized. She was so thorough in her planning and working out our wedding details that we were able to rest easy knowing she had our back. She even managed our moms with such grace and ease (honestly if you weren't convinced before this, what else do I need to say?). My now wife didn't think we needed a wedding planner at the beginning, but since booking Cassie she has said countless times that she was wrong and that we did NEED Cassie and her team. Cassie negotiated with our venue when they were being difficult and created so many work arounds for things we were worried about. She also transformed our venue into our literal pinterest board!!! On the day of: There was a 0% chance of rain on our wedding day, and only clear skies on the weather radar, however it started pouring just as our ceremony started (which was all outside). But Cassie and her team were ON IT. She was able to get umbrellas for the guests with babies, and me and my wife (which made for the sweetest pictures). I said that I was worried about my hair once it started raining and she spent my entire ceremony calling Hair and Make-Up teams that could come asap so I could still look pretty for the rest of the evening. There are countless more things that she did that made our day perfect- like giving me an extra pair of her own socks when I decided to do a random outfit change because my dress was soaking wet, but no need to go on, you get the picture. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, Cassie, we're so grateful for you!
