Wed and Prosper

available via text if I had questions and was always prepared for our meetings. Jessica and her assistant made everything run so smoothly the day of my wedding, I cannot thank them enough!

deas to the planning. She was outstanding with vendor coordination. She worked with my daughter to make her vision a dream come true. The wedding was so beautiful, flowed so nicely, and was magical! Rachel was easy and fun to work with. We were in great hands with Rachel and had so much confidence in her. SHE IS THE BEST!

real she basically planned my whole wedding! Every meeting we had was a joy and so very organized! My type A personality was so happy every time she pulled out her spreadsheet and made notes/updates as the day got closer. On our wedding day, I knew there was nothing to stress about as Jessica had it under control. Her assistant even drove the groomsmen to the church after our shuttle failed to arrive on time. All in all the day was an absolute dream and I couldn’t have done it without her! We still keep in contact and she is just such a fun person to be around! 10/10 would recommend Jessica and the W&P team for your next event or wedding!

lanning process and learning all her insider's knowledge. Her preferred vendor list is great, some of the best in the business in the Houston area. They all work together all the time, which means everything runs smoothly! Felecia's to-do list and timeline are far more detailed than anything else I saw on the internet. Which means I didn't have a doubt in my mind that she would handle anything abnormal on the wedding day. My mom was actually shocked by how little she had to do, since Felecia, Rachel, and the vendors took care of so much! Felecia worked with our vendors to make sure we had our ceremony outside, despite the less-than-ideal weather. She also stuck around after the event to supervise tear-down. I really appreciate her!

as on point. 10/10 recommend!!!

MANY! I first reached out to Rachel in Winter 2018 for a Spring 2020 wedding. From the get-go she was super energetic, cheerful, helpful and on-top of it! She knew what questions to ask and what visuals to show me to get a feel for what I wanted when I didn’t know the words or aesthetics that I wanted! There wasn’t a single vendor that she recommended that didn’t kill it at the reception. Her recommendations alone are worth their weight in gold! Not only was she organized, but she was so mentally calming! Replanning a wedding to Fall 2020 because of a pandemic? No worries! She got it covered. Awkward family dynamics? she knows exactly to how to handle it! Stress from juggling my husband and I’s different cultures? Not a problem at all! Upset because you got laid off and need to totally redo the budget for the wedding that was supposed to be in a month, but got moved? She worked with vendors to re-create a lot of the special moments and visuals to be more budget friendly, while still retaining their massive wow factor! She helped plan a very elegant wedding, not once, but twice with the reschedule and in line with COVID guidelines. Her ability to gracefully work under pressure and still be so positive and uplifting is rare, especially during the pandemic, when it was easy to get bogged down with negativity. To this day, I still follow some advice Rachel gave me during the wedding planning process that I’ve applied to other aspects of my life. I highly recommend Wed and Prosper, everyone is such an amazing team to have on your side! My wedding would not be nearly as amazing as it was without Rachel and the Wed and Prosper team!

as stressful to say the least. Felecia was there every step of the way during the 2 years we planned our wedding- answering questions, recommending vendors, putting our minds at ease. She is incredibly warm, friendly and professional. We didn't worry about any logistics or details the day of because she and her team handled them all! We had the most beautiful wedding and I know it wouldn't have been possible without Wed & Prosper. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

ceTime and she was fantastic. She has a great list of recommended vendors and everyone she suggested were great and easy to work with. She is reliable, organized, experienced, and has great communication skills. Our wedding day @ Iron Manor went so smoothly and everyone commented on what a great planner she was! Highly recommend 10/10 :)

pt us on track and getting things done and made sure we didn't miss some things we definitely would have otherwise. They made our whole day go smoothly and we loved working with them. Felecia did a wonderful job and it was very appreciated.

were with us at every step of our journey. Whenever we reached out with questions, we received solid, actionable guidance based on actual experience. I don’t know how we could have hosted such a beautiful and low-stress wedding and reception without Felecia by our side. She is simply the most essential and calm resource you can add to your wedding planning team. On the big day, she was once again solidly available for the whole event. Every time we needed help, she was ready to solve problems and negotiate every situation with a calm voice of wisdom and experience. Even with a scaled-back event, hosting with a planner like Felecia gave us the margin we needed to actually enjoy the day. Finally, at the end of the night, as the parents of the bride, you might feel exhausted but so happy that it has all gone so well. With Felecia’s team, you can count on being able to enjoy saying goodbye to those last guests and then relaxing. You won’t have to spend the rest of the night cleaning up or running around to do all the last-minute checks. It has all been done with excellence. I cannot recommend Wed and Prosper enough.

most weddings of today and I was so worried we wouldn’t be able to find anyone because of it. In searching for a planner, I had a schedule phone call for Wed & Prosper. Just for a quick 20 mins phone called. I ended on the phone for almost an hour because they were immediately willing to work without payment of finding recommendations over catering, Dj and photography. They are also now offering a new deal of a virtual package in PDF for for those brides that want to DIY to save money but cannot organize and juggle everything. They know all the tricks and tips and give us two consultations included.

ing last year. The team was extremely friendly, detail-oriented, and SO supportive the day of the wedding. As the MOB, I actually ENJOYED the whole day because I knew Rachel and Jessica had everything under control. In my initial conversation with Felecia, I knew instantly that Wed and Prosper was the way to go -- I thought I had the event pretty much under control, but Felecia asked and commented about things I hadn't even thought of, so I was all in! I enthusiastically recommend Wed and Prosper!

g company.

e was nothing left unplanned when the day finally arrived. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic is certainly a stressful experience, but Felecia always found ways to not only make it manageable, but she made it fun!! She was amazing at understanding my dream for my wedding day, and she truly executed everything I wanted! Would 10/10 recommend Felecia and Wed & Prosper to every bride I know!

and Prosper over and over again!

ssion for her couples is truly something to witness, and you can see the proof of it in how she takes care of her couples. As a result, I’ve been referring my couples to Wed & Prosper as my number one recommendation for wedding planners. So when it was time to plan my own wedding, there was no question who I wanted by my side; Rachel. Rachel went above and beyond and made my wedding planning process a breeze. Even though I’ve attended close to 200 weddings myself, Rachel knew questions to ask vendors and so many other things that I would have never thought of. She was truly invaluable in making sure that our wedding day was set up to go off without a hitch! Then on the wedding day, I put my total faith into Rachel and her team and didn’t worry about a single thing. Family and friends kept coming up to me to be sure and mention what a wonderful job Rachel and her team were doing at the wedding. That they had never seen such a well-planned wedding. My husband still can’t get over how much Rachel did for us and mentions it regularly. Rachel and Felicia, I am truly thankful to y’all for what you did for us. I can’t and don’t want to imagine what my wedding experience would have been without you. It was truly the best day of our lives and could not have been any better!

s and creativity. They truly care about their clients and tailoring the wedding to their dreams. Not only were they professional to work with, they were fun and caring. We are so grateful for their amazing expertise and the outstanding team of vendors they recommended. The wedding was perfect in every way and we can’t thank Wed and Prosper enough.

easy!! Loved Wed and prosper !

ly leaned on her during stressful situations that she always had a solution or a plan. She always responded very quickly when I contacted her and our wedding day, Wow! Her and her assistant came in, helped anywhere they were needed, took care of all the vendors, directed the guests and the bridal party for anything. Our wedding turned out better than I had even imagined and I owe so much of it to Felecia and her team! Thanks W&P for a day we will never forget!

the wedding planning process without her encouragement and expertise. Kara is so detail oriented and makes sure you are getting exactly what you want/envisioned for your day. She is unbelievably talented at her craft and I have already passed her name along to newly engaged brides. She's the best of the best!

experience started with just some general questions, information, etc. over a phone call. Once I booked my package, I was assigned my personal planner, Kara Portilla, and we set up an initial meeting. My mom and I met Kara one evening and ended up spending hours getting to know one another, discussing about what I wanted in a planner, my general budget, some vendor recommendations, etc. We immediately felt comfortable around Kara and soooo much less stressed even after one meeting with her! The only thing I had booked was my venue (who were also my photographers) and I had my dress picked out. We had no clue where to begin with so many vendor options in our area for everything else and Kara pointed us in exactly the right direction for EVERYTHING. From hair/makeup and videography to cakes and a getaway car, Kara knew exactly what I would want and who I should work with. She understood my vision for our wedding day better than I understood it myself at times. I always felt comfortable reaching out to her, even if it wasn’t our scheduled phone call day or meeting day. She helped me through some huge planning and personal stresses, as I’m sure most girls have during this time! I could tell throughout the whole planning process that Kara truly loves what she does and that she cared for me as more than just a client. I could not have asked for a better guide and support person from day one of hiring Wed and Prosper until the very end of the wedding night. I never had to worry about anything being done on time or the way I wanted it, because I knew Kara would have it taken care of! It is hard to find someone to completely trust with so many important wedding details, especially when you’re a self-admitted control freak like myself and my mother, but Kara was better than we could’ve imagined. I am very particular when it comes to what I like and what I want - I think I spent most of our first meeting telling Kara about what I don’t want and don’t like, but it turned out that this was the perfect way for her to get to know me. I know that any planner from Wed and Prosper would have been incredible - they are worth their weight in gold! Look no further if you are on the fence about hiring a planner for any amount of support on your big day!

allowed me to enjoy the day and even were so thoughtful as to keep all our guests (and the groom!!) updated on the score of the football game :) Both are incredibly thoughtful and provided fantastic vendor recommendations that made my day even more amazing than I could have imagined!

ch an awesome job making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the entire day and that we stayed on track with the timeline. Whatever you ask of Felecia, she will make sure it gets done. Y'all, I seriously cannot recommend them enough! And when you mention to your other vendors that you are a Wed & Prosper bride, you can feel their relief because they know how amazing they are to work with!

ou would never think about and kept the show not only moving on schedule but ahead so we always had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves during the wedding. We can't thank her enough for everything she did, hiring her as our planner was definitely the best money we spent towards our wedding.

all the advice! We had scheduled calls throughout. The day of the wedding she was a rockstar and made every little thing I asked for happen. She also smoothly accommodated last minute timeline changes day of. 100% recommend!!

ding. Kara was with us EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, through planning and venues and vendors, etc. She offers her professional, truthful opinions and really wants the bride to have HER wedding. As the Mother of the Bride, it really relieved some of the pressure and concerns you have for your daughter on the Wedding date, as Kara was always 1 step ahead of you. As for the bridal and groom parties, you knew exactly when to be ready for rehearsal, exactly what time to be at the venue on wedding day, when to get dressed, where to stand, etc....completely took the stress out of the entire process. I would 100% recommend Kara for ALL of your wedding planning. We hired a planner and came away with a life-long friend. THANK YOU KARA

eeping everything straight. When the wedding was getting closer Felecia was reaching out weekly to see not only how the planning was going but also how I was genuinely doing. Day of Felecia and her assistant Allison ensured that everything I needed was done. From decor, to getting me water, to getting everyone where they needed to be, even when we were outside taking photos in the heat Felecia had a fan on her phone to help cool under my dress! I always had what I needed and everything went perfect. Even when I threw curveballs like wanting to do a fake send off before too many people left, she made it happen. You prepare for something to go wrong at your wedding but nothing did and I really credit that to Felecia and her assistant Allison. I can't thank them enough for all of their hard work and dedication. If you are on the fence about getting a wedding planner/coordinator, just do it. You won't regret it. I highly highly highly recommend Wed and Prosper and their entire team.

ing with them and having Felecia assigned as my planner, things just started to fall into place. These women are MASTERS of their craft. They have amazing lists of vendors that they recommend and I went straight down that list when picking my vendors. This made communications a breeze and everything was handled in the most professional and wonderful manner. Felecia always made herself available for my random wedding questions and our frequent talks helped me so much along the way. Making an entire wedding happen in 7 months certainly isn’t easy especially not from the other side of the country but Felecia made things so seamless! I could go on and on about the wonderful things this company did for me but reviews can only be so long lol! I am so glad I chose Wed and Prosper for our big day; it couldn’t have been more perfect!!

bout her brides. I felt so cared for every time we would talk through the planning process. She gave great advice on what questions to ask vendors, how to deal with certain stressful situations, and went above and beyond on our wedding day! On the day of my wedding, I truly felt like I had nothing to worry about. I fully trusted Kara to manage everything. I knew that if something went wrong, she would take care of it and no one would even know! I will encourage brides to use the Wed & Prosper team because I have never witness a more put-together group of coordinators!

so good idea and wasn’t so easy to work with the day of the wedding. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be, when they needed to be there and that all our ducks were in a row. After the wedding, I was pleased to hear so many compliments about how Kara handled all the mishaps we had throughout the day (that I literally had no idea happened until these people told me how well Kara handled them!) If I could get married all over again, I would definitely rehire Kara and probably do one of their more inclusive packages because of how well she handled my day of coordinating. Thank you thank you thank you Kara for being so amazing for the months prior to our big day and for being even more amazing the day of.

ed wonders with our vendors to ensure that we were getting everything we needed and to see that our vision was put into action. I had zero concerns about things getting done on the wedding day and it was such a stress free day for me. I am so thankful for the relationship and friendship we were able to build. She is amazing!

n I first met Kara I had no vision, no idea where to start and no clue how I was going to accomplish anything. This did not throw her off in any way. She was able to guide me through the whole process in manageable, easy steps. I gave her a general idea of what I liked and somehow, like the fairy godmother she is, Kara managed to turn my likes into something I could have never even dreamed of. My wedding day ran so smoothly and I never once worried about anything going wrong. Something that really sets this team apart is that they just don’t care about your vendors and color schemes. They really care about YOU! I was planning a wedding, going to work full time, going to grad school at night, and halfway through the whole planning process I was diagnosed with skin cancer. Kara ALWAYS made sure that I was okay. She was determined to make sure that wedding planning was not something that I had to stress over and she constantly checked in with calls or emails to see how I was doing with everything. The only part of getting married that I regret is that I wont get to talk to her as often. She is professional, a wedding genius and a genuinely wonderful person. If you are at all worried about your wedding planning process or your big day itself, hire Wed & Prosper. You will NEVER regret it. Thank you Kara!!

wedding. She is always available, great at navigating the difficult mother/daughter relationship, respectful of what you want and has impeccable taste. Plus she’s super fun! Seriously, if you one anything right for your wedding, hire her. She’ll do the rest of it right ;)

track and had everything we needed. She adapted to my needs and wants. I truly felt like I was getting a top of the line service from them. I could not recommend Wed & Propser more to anyone!!!!

wedding planning process. She was with me every step of the way and made sure to uphold my vision from beginning to end. She always had our best interest as a couple in mind and helped guide me through the planning process. Day of, I let go of my planning mode brain and let her take full control so I could enjoy our special day. I didn't have to worry about one single detail -- Felecia was on top of it all! Our wedding day was a dream come true and I know it wouldn't have been possible without her support, guidance, care, and expertise. She's masterful at what she does and I can't say enough good things about her! Thank you, Felecia!!! XO

ara got on the phone with the managers and in the end we had a new suit and it was tailored right there at the venue. Kara was accessible whenever we needed her and so positive during the planning process. I would recommend Kara for anyone’s special day. Thank you so much for everything!

g we needed and kept consistent communication with all of my vendors. Our timeline of the day was what he had originally planned out with her. Thank you so much for being there for me and helping me through this process! I was able to remain calm and sane :)

of me. I wanted to do some "non-traditional" things for my wedding and Rachel was fully on board and wanted to do everything she could to make sure me and my husband had the best day ever. It was a day full of love and laughter and I couldn't have imagined it without Wed & Prosper!

ays a step ahead meeting deadlines assuring every beautiful detail fell into place with ease. She listened to our wishes and provided honest feedback, quickly earning our complete trust. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of planning and seeing Mackenzie & Carlos' magical day unfold. It was truly a day of joy and peace that our family will remember for a lifetime!

nything and they took care of everything. Felecia also knows all of the vendors so she will help guide you in choosing the perfect one. We highly recommend Wed and Prosper!!

planner!

for our son to get married we immediately called her! Kara and Rachel did a wonderful job and I was able to enjoy the day with my new daughter in law and family and did not worry about anything. They were so amazing that we are taking Rachel and Felicia to Cancun with us to plan and coordinate my daughters destination wedding this coming April, 2019. If you are looking for perfection and stress free planning, they should be your first choice. Their integrity and talent speak for themselves.

chel is seriously the BEST at what she does. From the beginning, she made wedding planning easy! She is extremely communicative, organized, trustworthy, creative, knowledgeable, reliable, a great listener, innovative, patient, and has a brilliant eye for design. Let's be honest - she was also an amazing therapist! She knew the answer to every question I asked, and made sure to take care of even the tiniest detail. And her stacked roster of client partners is impressive! I went with every vendor she recommended, and I'm so glad I did! Everything went smoothly and everyone worked together seamlessly. I wish I could recommend Rachel and her team ten times because she's just that good. You will NOT regret working with Wed and Prosper for your big day!

is the most helpful, caring, and truly amazing wedding planner. Kara’s dedication to make each couples wedding day unique and so special is what helps her stand above the rest. She went above and beyond to help relieve any stress or concerns I had leading up to our big day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and passionate wedding planner for their big day!

what she does and she loves her brides!! She truly made us feel like a family member of hers. I was so confident the day of the wedding because I knew she was in charge. I highly recommend Kara Portilla with Wed and Prosper.
