If you’re on the fence about hiring a DJ, look no further. Jeff was fantastic to work with. In all honesty, he tied the whole wedding together. He kept us on point, kept us updated with our day of schedule. And most importantly… the dance floor was PACKED. His energy was perfect for the occasion; not cheesy, not over the top, not lacking in energy; just spot on. He knew what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. Not only was the music on point, but so were all the little details my wife and I didn’t even think about. We asked for a mix of country to two step to, party songs, and some wedding classics. It was like having a family member be our DJ. He made our night so special. Thank you for the help, suggestions, planning tools, etc. Thank you Jeff. You made our wedding unforgettable. We have received nothing but praise from our 200 guests. You’re the man! Thank you

We will laugh with you, and we will cry with you. (But have no fear - we vow to be the fun aunt!)

We had the pleasure of working with Jacilyn for almost a year and a half on our wedding. When it finally came to the big day, everything came out perfectly. She was detailed through every step and helped organize things where it was easy for us to know what the next steps were. She was also so communicative with us when we texted her or scheduling calls when we needed to speak about something. My husband is a pilot so his schedule would make things difficult at times but she was always accommodating. On the wedding day, she was there every step of the way helping us decorate, keeping everything on schedule, and helping making sure we were given moments alone to ourselves to enjoy it as well. Her taste was impeccable with all the vendors she recommended and how she helped us set up our vision for decorations. We could not recommend anyone better than her as your planner as there is no one else who could be better. Nothing But Love absolutely describes how she handles every part of her business and made us feel that way as well.

My husband and I got married at Arrowwood on May 26. It was an absolutely amazing experience. We used not only the venue, but the add on services of coordination, decoration, and floral. Everything turned out exactly how I wanted it and I would describe the day as perfect. Every question that I had leading up to the day was answered quickly, kindly, and efficiently. Our coordinator, Bri, truly made the day so easy and fantastic. She was on top of everything from decorations, wrangling groomsmen, and making sure I was having a relaxing/ fabulous time. I could not be more thankful for her help and her guidance in making decisions and the wedding timeline. If you are considering using Arrowwood, do it!!

Hi! I am so stoked to meet you! My favorite thing in the whole world is getting to document your lives & stories. My greatest belief is that every moment of your day should feel like you & so should your wedding photos <3 I honestly just love LOVE & I love to tag along to document every moment of your sweet day!

Julia is the most wonderfully amazing person you will ever work with. She is so kind and sweet and TALENTED! She listened to all my ideas/vibes I wanted and took them in, made them her own, and NAILED it. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I don’t even have the full wedding gallery yet but I’m jumping the gun and writing this review already because based off the engagement shoot and the sneak peeks of the wedding I know I am going to be absolutely in love. Julia is so laid back and makes it super easy to be in front of the camera. She isn’t pushy or judgy in any way and magically gets you and your partner to showcase your love and true selves without feeling forced. I could write so much more but I don’t want anything other than my advice to BOOK HER to be what you get from this review :-)

  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Melissa, TX

Woodsy Floral started by accident believe it or not. Flowers have always been a part of my husband and I’s marriage. Every Friday or every other Friday my husband, Lonnie would go get fresh stems from the floral shop down the road from our house. With crazy looks he grabbed them. This turned into me making arrangements for our events. When some of our friends saw these floral arrangements, they asked if we could make more for their events. We had one friend that owns a wedding venue, she brought up becoming a vendor for her brides. Well after a little bit of pressuring from Lonnie, we attended her open house as a floral vendor and LOVED IT.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I began my search for a florist, I knew what type of style and colors I was looking for but I was worried about my budget and for the vision to be captured in that. I spoke to a couple florists who were dismissive and unhelpful. I contacted Lonnie and Monica after finding them on Zola and Lonnie was so informative and personable and helped me understand costs and how to make your vision work in your budget! He answered all my questions and every time we talked, he helped me so much. I was the bride and the coordinator and I was learning the wedding planning process, and Lonnie helped me through all of it. Lonnie and Monica were incredibly flexible and available when I needed to get a question answered. They went above and beyond with the communication, dedication and kindness. They helped me with the bud vases and candles at our reception and did absolutely stunning florals for the entire day. They exceeded by expectation and it gave me so much joy since the florals were one of the most important things to me on our vendor/wedding day list!! They stayed and helped set up and came back to clean up. They were so kind to everyone we worked with at the venue and all our other vendors. I felt so cared for and loved! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

At House of White, our unparalleled superiority stems from our integrated approach to your wedding day. Unlike other vendors who specialize in just one area, we offer a cohesive suite of services including photography, wedding planning & day-of coordination, and real-time content creation.

I truly don’t even know where to begin with my review. Because Alyssia was amazing. I don’t have anything but good things to say. My venue required us to have a coordinator. I wasn’t going to initially have one because I didn’t want to budget in something I thought I could manage myself. Well turns out I definitely wouldn’t have managed without her. On my perfect wedding day I wasn’t aware of any issues that even occurred. Because she took that stress on. My food truck didn’t arrive on time and she was able to take care of that task for me. We had a minor issue with the venue and she took care of it. She helped us stay on time. moved our timeline up an entire hour when we realized we needed to be out of the venue at completely different time than I anticipated. She honestly just made the day perfect. She was great with responding to me when I had any questions. She made my entire day stress free. Which as anyone knows planning a wedding is stressful. I couldn’t have gone the entire wedding without her.

Ashley did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos and was so wonderful!!! In downtown Fort Worth she knew all the best little nooks and spots for all the afternoon and sunset photos. At our wedding in Dripping Springs outside of Austin she also captured all the fun moments without us feeling like we were constantly posing or interrupting the moment for a photo, which is exactly what I wanted. She has a great eye for capturing the moment and all of the little details that made the day so wonderful. My absolute favorite part of working with her though, is how QUICK she is. By Monday morning after our wedding she had 150 wonderful photos to us! All my friends and family commented on how fast this was

I am a lover of all things music... I fell in love with music when I first heard The Roots - "What They Do! " It captivated me and the beat had me hooked. I started making my own mixtapes and always wanted the music to never end. I continued to play for family and friends and zone out. Until one night with my brother, we spent hours playing classic hip hop and rap hits. I told myself that If i can do this off memory than mixing it together with a database of music would be simple.

Whether you're throwing a backyard bash, hiking to your ceremony spot, or dancing barefoot under string lights — we’re right there with you, snapping the in-between moments, the belly laughs, the teary eyes, and the big “we did it” energy. We proudly center and celebrate queer couples, and we’re here for anyone who wants to feel seen, relaxed, and completely themselves in front of the camera. Our approach is candid, vibrant, and documentary-inspired, with a little editorial flair and a whole lotta heart. Let’s make photos that feel like you.

I'm just an Okie from Muskogee... Actually I and my business partners are from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since 2010 We have been on a mission to tell your love story one wedding at a time. We pride ourselves on quality and customer service!

Justin and our second shooter (can’t remember his name!) were on top of photography throughout the whole day. They were discrete and also good at guidance and direction. We added a second shooter that was affordable and was open to helping with other things besides just the photography (fetched items for the groom). For the quality and quantity of photos we received, the price was very reasonable. They got a large amount of photos throughout the entire day. The one con was that the couples portraits seemed rushed, and we wish we had more time for that. Otherwise we had a fantastic day and would 100% trust them to capture our special memories again.

Lakefront Acres was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Avery and her team were incredibly efficient, caring, and quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous views of the lake that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. Avery and her husband went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of - they are so kind, thoughtful, and truly love what they do. We are so grateful to have celebrated our marriage at Lakefront Acres and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding experience.

I started my career first as a photographer and social media manager for a local business. After getting thrown into the photographer world for my day job, I started my own business doing portrait sessions and, eventually, my first wedding. Fast forward six years and over 100 weddings—I’m in love!! With my couples and with running around the world chasing epic moments and beautiful sunsets. With you and for you <3 With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day! From the very start, Julia was incredibly flexible with our early morning wedding schedule, making everything feel seamless and stress-free. She went above and beyond to engage the kids and get them smiling in the photos, which is no small feat! Her ability to organizing and capture every important moment in a timeline efficient way was so appreciated, especially with so much going on. On top of that, she was unbelievably kind to everyone at the wedding, so many of our guests were raving that only about how amazing the photos turned out, but also about how lovely and genuine Photographer was to be around. Communication leading up to a day was excellent, and we always felt in good hands. We’re absolutely thrilled with the photos, they were perfectly captured the joy, love, and magic of the day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone, talented, professional, and truly caring.
