I discovered my passion as for weddings when I was a young girl, since then I have always known I wanted to be apart of weddings for my career. I was interested in wedding planning but it became a reality when I took a wedding certification course and experienced planning in action. I obtained my certification as a wedding & event planner through Lovegevity’s Wedding Planning Institute in August of 2017. I began my wedding planning business in October 2017 while finishing up my last years at Sam Houston State University.

Andrea was incredible. I hired her for my daughter's wedding, and I don't know what I would have done without her! She is so talented; knows the business and is the kindest person you will ever meet. She took care of all the details on the wedding day and took care of everyone too (especially me)! She is extremely organized, has an eye for details, and truly cares about you and your special day. She is absolutely wonderful, and I can't thank her enough for all she did to help make the day go off without any problems. Thank you to Andrea for everything.

I don’t even know where to begin on how wonderful Andrea is and easy she made everything in this process. I couldn’t imagine working with a big company that cost more when Andrea has it all. She not only used a lot of the vendors for her own wedding but has a relationship with them and to where even my floral vendor said use her not us for linens and napkins and other items from her inventory. There were a few changes made last minute during the wedding with the timeline too and Andrea worked with those changes with ease. I can’t encourage enough for people to use her. She was always responsive with all my random questions I would have during the whole process and I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me! I highly recommend her for your wedding needs.

Andrea did an absolute fantastic job. She took care of everything for me. My day wouldn’t have gone smoothly without her. She coordinate with all the vendors and made sure they followed schedule. She was very supportive and attentive to me and my husband to make our day special. I have recommended to all of my friend brides. You should definitely book her!!

Andrea is absolutely phenomenal! Even though I purchased a day of coordinator package she was always available to answer any questions and quick to assist in anyway. Her packages provide a lot of meetings that allow you to feel secure and on top of things as your wedding day approaches. She is extremely easy to talk to, positive, productive, kind, flexible, and eager to assist you in creating your dream day. She is very detail oriented and organized with all communication and ideas discussed for your wedding day. She had an amazing aesthetic eye for setting up all decorations and items necessary as well as provides an impressive comprehensive inventory of supplies for renting. I 100% trusted her judgement and was blown away by her set-up. Andrea is also very cool, calm, and collected under pressure. My mom unfortunately was difficult throughout the wedding planning process but Andrea handled her with care, re-assurance, and was still able to prioritize and execute what our priorities and desires were. She also impressively was able to save the day by assisting my bridesmaid with her dress as it ripped the day of. Everything was so smooth and I was able to fully appreciate my day thanks to her! Best many spent hands. down! BOOK HER!

Andrea was my day of coordinator for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier with everything. Leading up to our day, she was super helpful in making decisions and kept me on a general schedule with all my vendors. She created our day-of schedule and made it super seamless and tailored it to exactly what we wanted. She even recommended some great people to me (like our florist, who we loved!). When the day came - she took control of literally everything to where I was able to truly take in and enjoy the day, without any stress or worrying about anything. She helped with setting a few things up, worked with vendors to get everything perfect, and made sure everything was on schedule. At the end of the night she even made sure our wedding suite was decked out with everything, all while handling the tear down and removing items from the reception space. She was really invaluable and our dream wedding would not have been possible without her. I am truly not sure how she does it all! I would recommend Andrea to anyone, she was the best.

Andrea was quite literally the glue that held our day together and the entire planning process. She was so unbelievably sweet and had phenomenal communication throughout everything. She is looks out for her couples and made sure that we had 0 stress the week/day of and made everything so much easier. I felt like I grew a friendship with her because she’s so interpersonal and never makes it feel like she’s just another wedding vendor. She was one of my favorite parts about the whole day and I truly do not know what we would have done without her!

Andrea was amazing! She was our Day-of-coordinator and she took care of everything the day of plus more! She helped me plan and gather everything together for vendors. They day of, she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly! We even had a timed ceremony according to the music and everything went great throughout the evening. Highly recommend you book her. She's super organized and makes you feel relaxed and taken care of the day of and prior to that as well!

The minute I spoke with Andrea, I could feel stress leaving my shoulders. She worked with us to accommodate our church wedding and separate reception. The day was an absolute breeze because she coordinated with all our venues and kept the timeline moving. Wonderful to work with!

I found Wedding by Andrea during the Bridal Extravaganza in Houston and it was such a AMAZING find! Andrea went above and beyond while working with us through constant communication and attending vendor meetings. She helped us in making decisions and so easy to work with!! On the day of the event she made sure that everything went perfectly to plan so we weren’t stressed at all! I would recommend Weddings by Andrea to anyone!!

Andrea is awesome! I would recommend her to any Houston bride who wants a stress-free wedding! From our first meeting, I could sense her confidence and experience. She helped keep me on track, letting me know when to get certain tasks completed by. I had no stress during the wedding because I knew it was all in Andrea's capable hands.

Andrea was the hidden gem to our wedding. We hired a day-of wedding planner as required by our venue, which I will be forever grateful for as well as the brides through the Farmhouse that had recommended her. Andrea was so much more than a day-of coordinator for us. She was always available via text for questions or recommendations even when it was later in the evening or on the weekends. She would meet me at the venue and devote at least 2-3 hours each time to walking through the venue and finalize the details of the big day. She helped ease my anxieties and helped to brainstorm a back-up plan if needed for my food vendor. She is accountable, personable, and a true go-getter.

I can not explain in enough words how Amazing Andrea was during the entire process. She worked with my from start to finish on EVERYTHING. She lead me to vendors who were trusting and in my price range, she gave her opinion and expertise when I struggled with making a decision, she had her own supplies of decor I could rent from her, she kept track and communicated with all vendors, and most importantly kept me calm the weeks leading up to the even! I will recommend her and her only to anyone who needs a wedding planner!

Andrea was the day of coordinator for our wedding day. We can’t say enough good things about her and her services. While she was our “day of” coordinator, she was available to us for several months. We had 3 meetings to go over wedding planning progress and she also came to our floral mock up and facilitated our day-before ceremony rehearsal. If something went wrong on the wedding day, we don’t even know about it because she handled anything and everything that came up. She also had a wide variety of inventory to rent for the wedding day which was super convenient! Andrea is professional, flexible, and so so kind. My husband and I are so thankful for all of the things she did for us/took care of. We can’t recommend her enough!

I was a bride on a budget and had big dreams and hopes for our reception. It was a very non traditional South Asian affair and I knew there were going to be complications with executing it. I went back and forth on getting a wedding coordinator like a million times. My entire event was planned out fully but something in me was pushing me to find a wedding coordinator to help with Day Of execution. Luckily I came across Andrea's information and sent her a message and we were able to agree on her package.
AND ANDREA WAS THE GREATEST GIFT FROM GOD!!!!!! I cannot emphasize enough, that I was a bride on a budget. Every cent was precious to us but the service and support that Andrea provided is immeasurable. She is worth her weight in gold. She is AMAZING. We had two consultations and even for me, I thought I had everything figured out, but Andrea provided valuable insight into details that were important to me. Leading up to the event, she contacted all of my vendors and came to tour the venue with me to ensure the two of us were on the same page. Andrea is super responsible and amazing. She sent me reminders on so many little details that completed my event. And her experience is incredible. She's the perfect consult to discuss prices from vendors to make sure you're not being robbed haha. Because of her, I saved thousands of dollars on things that I otherwise would have just gone through my primary vendor but she suggested alternatives and voila, I still maintained a quality of excellence at my event without compromising on the items at hand. Day of. WOW. I was already so pleased with Andrea leading up to the event, because SHE IS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. But on the day of, Andrea TOOK CARE OF ME. She's so responsible and thoughtful. She executed all of the day of responsibilities with finesse. Without her, I have NO CLUE how the heck we would have coordinated everything. On the day of your weddings, a thousand things will go wrong and you have to embrace it and not let it ruin your experience. You and your family have invested SO MUCH MONEY on this event and you don't want to spend it agonizing over the details that come up. With Andrea, you're going to be able to make quick and smooth last minute changes. She's creative, she's kind, and she's patient. She listened to literally every one of my requests. She helped me through the entire day. She's simply amazing. One of a kind. Amazing. Again, I'm a South Asian bride which was out of her realm of expertise and I cannot emphasize how brilliantly Andrea helped me and my family execute our event. Don't waste your time wondering IF you should book her. Message her asap and just pray that she'a available for your event. You need her-- trust me. YOU NEED ANDREA.

Andrea was the best investment we could’ve made! Our first step before anything was to find a planner and I’m so glad we chose Andrea. Through the whole process she was so supportive and full of good suggestions and advice. She never pushed anything on me yet she helped all my visions come to life. We had storms on my wedding day and had to make big changes at the last minute when moving the ceremony out of the rain and it was amazing. Andrea made sure everything went smoothly and everyone was taken care of. Throughout the night she continued to check in and she handled everything. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her. She took so much responsibility and stress off my shoulders and I’m so thankful for her. Book her asap!!

As mother of the bride, I initially wasn’t sure we needed a wedding planner, but as planning began, I soon realized we needed assistance and I couldn’t have been happier with the decision to use Weddings by Andrea! It’s been a while since I helped plan a wedding and things have changed so much. Andrea offered more services than I realized. From vendor recommendations and coordination, to assisting with floral appointments, wedding décor, venue layout, timelines and so much more. She even has a nice inventory of wedding décor that we rented from her at very good prices. I felt comfortable knowing that Andrea had the knowledge, experience, and confidence to take care of my daughter’s special day. Everything stayed on schedule on the wedding day, and she took care of any hiccup without a fuss. Andrea is professional and calm under pressure. I can’t imagine the day without her. Thanks again for everything you did to help make my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding day so amazing!

We are forever grateful for Weddings by Andrea.
I cannot thank Andrea enough for the incredible job she did for my wedding. Andrea is kind, professional, attentive, and most importantly adaptive to anything that is thrown her way. The months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding, Andrea made sure that we had everything we needed covered. From assistance recommending vendors, attending floral appointments, giving me access to her warehouse of linens, decor, etc. she made all decisions a piece of cake. The day of my wedding, I truly did not have to worry about one thing. She set up everything for my ceremony and reception and helped direct all of our vendors keeping everyone on the perfect timeline. Andrea made our dreams come to fruition. Thank you!

Andrea is incredible to work with!! She’s friendly, responds quickly to questions, pays close attention to detail, and definitely knows how to decorate. She helped take off the huge load of stress I had while planning my wedding. On the day of my wedding, she set up everything and closely followed the schedule. She took care of literally everything and I didn’t have any worries at all. Very trustworthy. Thank you so much Andrea!!

Andrea was the day of coordinator for my wedding and I was highly disappointed with the execution the day of.
She had already missed my floral appt since she was sick and also missed another appt at the venue because she accidentally forgot. I had given her the benefit of the doubt and thought she would do well the day of the event.
However, the day of the event she showed up one hour late to pick up the décor which made it difficult for me to find someone to give her the décor items since she had showed up late. She then failed to place the table numbers correctly on the tables and failed to properly layout the space as I had expected. She left very minimal dancing floor space which I had to re-walk the venue with her the day of the event causing me to arrive late to my own ceremony. After which, we returned to the reception the table numbers were still wrong and my dad and brother had to convince her to change them. In addition, she forgot that a floral arrangement had to stay in the chapel and instead was trying to take them to the church and forgot to lay out the card box. For the rest of the night I received complaints from my parents that she did not listen when it came to passing out desserts with the cake and she unfortunately did not keep time throughout the event. I was even surprised I had guests tell me my coordinator was not doing a good job. As the bride, I was asking her “shouldn’t we be cutting cake, shouldn’t we be doing sparklers.” If I didn’t take initiative to ask her or remind her I am not sure she would have come up and told me. I hired her to run the day and it almost felt like all she really did do the day of was set up and clean up.
I would not recommend Andrea for coordination, especially for the price, unless as the bride you want to be in charge of keeping up your timeline. She is very nice and friendly and responsive to texts and calls but the day of I was not impressed. She did help me with the dress which I appreciated. However, Andrea caused delays where it shouldn’t have been her. The day of coordination is such an important vendor that you want to make sure you hire someone you can trust. Looking at all the 5 star reviews I really thought I could count on her and thought I should write my experience to help other brides since my experience fell very short of that.

Hello Cynthia,
I am sorry you felt this way after your wedding. Multiple of these issues...
were due to a lack of communication throughout the planning process and last minute schedule changes the day prior to the wedding. I try and do my best to accomidate every bride and their requests when they are given, as I did to help you.

Andrea is amazing! From the very beginning Andrea was quick to respond and very professional. After we had our first meeting I knew I was putting my big day into the right hands. I had a very difficult vendor and Andrea had no problem standing her ground to make sure our vision was executed. My hair and makeup artist contracted COVID the Thursday before the wedding and had no backup up(the rest of her team was already book). I called Andrea and she quickly calmed my nervous and helped me come up with a plan that I was happy with. On the day of the rehearsal she quickly realized things were not set up as I visioned. She quickly took action and fixed it right away. The morning of the wedding day, the same difficult/opinionated vendor changed the layout of our reception and gave Andrea attitude! She responded with kindness and strength and fixed it quickly. Andrea checked in with all my vendor 2 weeks in advance and created a perfect timeline. During our wedding she brought us drinks and made sure that we are following the schedule. I was SO THANKFUL that she was there. I had the best (stress free day) because I knew Andrea was there and taking care of everything... all I had to do was enjoy the day with my new hubby, family, and friends. I will recommend Weddings by Andrea to every bride! Seriously, she is amazing!

We hired Andrea as a planner and day-of coordinator. She was extremely organized and made sure the day went forward as perfectly as possible despite some bumps in the road (weather, problems with other vendors). She was professional and had a lot of great ideas! She met us on several occasions beforehand, ran the rehearsal, and offered a lot of help when we needed it. Highly recommend!

Andrea was above and beyond what I could’ve dreamt for in a day of coordinator! Throughout the whole planning process she was super easy to communicate with and helped guide me up to the wedding day.
Without prompt a few weeks prior to the wedding she had already communicated with each of my vendors creating the timeline and scheduled drop offs. On the day of the wedding she was absolutely incredible, and I felt like I didn’t have to lift a finger as she had everything under control. I would recommend her day in and day out to any couple getting married-she is the best!

When I hired Andrea I was two months away from my wedding and freaking out. My fiance and I had already done a lot of the planning, design, and booking ourselves. But we needed extra help the day of, more than I knew we needed! Andrea was professional, friendly, and organized for all our meetings and came prepared and also had questions for me to make sure things went smoothly. I think day-of coordination is absolutely necessary and it was such a relief to have somebody handle all the things that pop up during a wedding. For instance my dress bustle came undone, Andrea was there with safety pins. I forgot to call the hotel to find out if they were ok with a late check in on my way to the wedding. Andrea called and took care of it. My bridesmaids were able to enjoy more of the wedding and me and my fiance were able to greet all our guests and take plenty of pictures. We enjoyed our wedding and actually got to eat some of the food! After the ceremony was over my stress melted away, because I knew I had Andrea there to help coordinate and that really meant the world to me. I don’t think I could have pulled off getting ready and prepping the venue, hiring a coordinator is so worth it!!

Andrea was our day of coordinator but she could’ve passed as our wedding planner with all the tips and great communication she kept with us leading up to the wedding. Definitely more than a planner/coordinator! SHE IS THE WHOLE PACKAGE. We could not have done it without her. She made vinyl stickers that we used for our mirror seating chart which were lovely, and also provided some of the table decorations and small details throughout the reception (ex: beautiful signs depending on your style, table numbers, etc). She’s assertive and literally thinks of everything that any bride/ groom would forget. I will recommend her time and time again to anyone I know getting married. Thank you so much for everything Andrea! You’re truly amazing at what you do. Love, Mariana & Chris.

Andrea was my wedding coordinator for our wedding held this last November. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. Wedding day is full of so many tasks and I could not have done it without her. She had kept consistent contact with me during the whole planning process always offering tips and ideas. She was extremely organized and assertive but always staying polite. She made sure that all the details that popped up were taken care of without notice. My favorite part of all was the thoughtfulness and details that she added to the day. Would recommend her for any party. Her service is one of a kind.

Andrea took great pride and care for even the tiniest details. Everything came together on the day of our vow renewal without a hitch, and I felt so grateful for how easy she made it for us to simply enjoy and be present rather than running logistics. We will certainly use Andrea again for future events!
