Hi Kathie,
I just wanted to take this time to thank you for such an amazing job with the fashion show. This could not have been possible without you and I truly appreciate everything you did for not only myself, but all other designers as well. It was an honor to work with you in this fashion show. This was truly a positive experience and thank you for the great models you provided us with, they were very professional and it was my pleasure to work with them.

Thanks ones again for all your help and your generosity. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to call on me.

Gratefully,

Hi Viv and Kathie!
I just wanted to check in with you and make sure everything ended up ok! First, thank you so much for everything. I have heard nothing but positive things about how amazing you guys were, how smooth everything went and how impresseed everyone was with both your professionalism and your planning "skills". Thank you thank you thank you. I know that putting on these events can get stressful (especially with a television crew there!) but you guys managed it gracefully and made our weekend a blast! We couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks again! I hope all is well with you!
Lynsey Blackmon

Kathie and Viv,

I am in Chicago recording our new album. On behalf of us I'd like to thank the both of you for your help on the day and leading up to the Wedding. I didn't think it could be anywhere as amazing as it was... It's also great to have feedback from all concerned saying the same thing!
Speak to you soon,

Best wishes,
Olly

Vivian and Kathie,

Thanks so much for taking all of my ideas and dreams about my perfect wedding and making them come to life so beautifully! I had so much fun at my own wedding, and I know I wouldn’t have been able to be so relaxed if I hadn’t had the two of you and your team taking care of everything. Even my mom, who stresses over everything, completely kicked back, relaxed, and enjoyed herself during the wedding weekend because she was so confident that you had everything under control.

Because I love you guys so much and I think that you do such an exceptional job from start to finish, I wrote the Top 10 Reasons Why I LOVE Austin Wedding Planners for you to share with your other brides and their families.

10. They treat you like you are their own daughter.

9. They fight for you. When I had a stressful situation with a vendor that was trying to charge me more than the contract, Austin Wedding Planners took over the entire situation for me and I didn’t have to worry about it at all.

8. They know what you want even before you know it. And when you do know what you want, you can be sure that they will make it happen.

7. They go way above and beyond. Three of the planners drove an hour and a half to San Antonio just to learn how to bustle my dress. They also set up for my bridal shower, and even left a beautiful gift for my fiancé and me.

6. They cry when you walk down the aisle.

5. They keep their cool even when your family loses theirs.

4. They always remain patient – Vivian and Kathie brought in photographer after photographer for me to speak with, but I kept insisting that I wasn’t sure. Then I ended up hiring the first photographer I had met. During all of this, they never got impatient with me.

3. They’re fun to be around! They make planning fun. Meeting for lunches, rentals, or vendor interviews are not only productive but enjoyable.

2. They are thorough. No detail escapes them.

1. They are there until the end, no matter what. I found out the day after my wedding that while setting up for my wedding Vivian had fallen and broken her arm. She never told me, my fiancé, or our families that she was injured, and she stayed through the entire wedding!!!! This is true professionalism.

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Debbie Karakowsky

Kathie,

Melinda and I are still basking in the glow of last night and wanted you to know what an incredible job you, and your staff did for us. We simply could not be more pleased with everything you did. You handled the extra large crowd with grace and you were all so attentive to Melinda and my needs (getting our food, drinks, etc). All of the vendors you recommended were awesome (especially the band. My one and only responsibility so thanks for making me look good!) The food was tremendous... I could go on and on and on but simply put the whole evening was phenomenal. The entire experience working with you from the first time we met you till the very end last night has been such a pleasure. I almost wish I had another daughter so we could do this again....notice I said almost! Thanks for everything...please pass this on to your entire team.

Kent and Melinda
Parents of the Bride

Jeff-

You were unstoppable, unruffled, & unreserved in your approach to our wedding. We appreciate your guidance and your ability to make our wedding totally unique and an expression of us. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Catherine Jewell & Jay Taylor

Jeff,

We thank you so much for all you did for the Rough Hollow event. The evening was fabulous! Thank you.

Sincerely,
Cliff & Cindy Fisher

Kathie,
I am just now beginning to recover from our FABULOUS week-end! We got Britt. And Brad off to Buenos Aires Sun. afternoon. Then I collapsed. It was probably one of the best nights of my life. The celebration was exactly what we had hoped for. You wouldn't believe the number of e-mails and phone calls I've received raving about the beautiful reception and wonderful affair it turned out to be. We absolutely couldn't have pulled this off without you two lovely ladies to keep us on track. I may be a bit partial as the MOB, but I think Brittany was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. I attribute this to a woman who is truly in love. I pick the two of them up at the airport tomorrow. (Wed.) I know we'll all be reminiscing about the extraordinary wedding. Thanks again Kathie and Kylie for making Britt. And Brad's wedding a fairy tale affair.

Sincerely,
Stephanie

Hi Vivian!
I want to thank you so much for all of your help and your heart-felt care. The sweet lady who "adopted" me when I was first living in Rome used to always tell me that a friend is a real treasure. You are a precious treasure! Thank you so much for getting me through this planning process! You do everything with so much love! And patience!

God bless,
Michelle

Hi Viv,

Before we head out (in 20 minutes), we just wanted to thank you for helping make our wedding the most memorable event of our lives. Because of you and your phenomenal team, we have received endless compliments about our ceremony and our reception. There is no doubt in our minds that we could have pulled this off without you all, everything was perfect.

Thank you, Lindsey, and Alicia for taking care of us, keeping us at ease, and ensuring a truly magical night. We'll definitely be in touch when we return!

All our best,
Fiana and John

January 17, 2008

On the plane back from Europe, Cynthia (my fiancé) had on a whim picked up some bridal magazines for us to look through. I had asked her to marry me while we were in Belgium and frankly I thought the hard part was over. After Cynthia started to thumb through one of the encyclopedia-sized magazines, we both began to realize how wrong I was. The magazine gave us hints on picking out the right dress (we knew that was going to be important), the right church (ditto), how to find out if you want a DJ or a band (we weren’t too clear on this one), creating blocks of hotel rooms for out-of-town guests (I knew how to book a hotel online but that was about it), finding the right caterer, photographer, florist, linens… We were about 40,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean and just began to realize that we had no idea what to do or where to start.

One of the magazines mentioned that getting a wedding planner was a smart, money-saving move that more couples should do. I had two misconceptions of wedding planners before we began interviewing them: I thought wedding planners were strictly for the ultra rich or all looked like J Lo. We decided, with our immense lack of knowledge of wedding intricacies, that it might be a good idea to call some Austin wedding planners and get more information about their services.

Because we like to torture ourselves, we scheduled five wedding planners on the same day. Our first interview was with Austin Wedding Planners, at 7:30 am on a Saturday. I was barely awake and Cynthia had already decided that we were not going to have a wedding planner. We met Kathie and Jeff and were a bit confused. Here were two people who were cheerful at this early hour and did not seem the least bit pretentious. Kathie and Jeff did a wonderful job explaining the role of a wedding planner. Wedding planners pay for themselves in the discounts they receive from various vendors and insider contacts.

By picking the wedding planners that runs the “Bridal Extravaganza,” we made sure that we picked a company that had the best resources available. Beyond the discounts and introducing us to vendors we would have never known about, they helped us pick a location that suited our needs perfectly (we had 200 guests coming in from 10 different countries), got us discounts on hotel room blocks, and made sure the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception ran smoothly.

Kathie and Jeff were so friendly throughout the process, taking their time to explain every aspect of the services they provide. We left the meeting and for the first time since getting freaked out on the plane, we were actually excited again about getting married. Sometimes it is hard to remember that this whole process is supposed to be fun and exciting, not a tedious and stressful process.

We went to our other four interviews but no one impressed us as much as Austin Wedding Planners. We decided to use them for our wedding for a few reasons: their connections with vendors, their personalities, and their presentation. When we researched wedding planners in Austin, everyone knew Austin Wedding Planners and had nothing but great things to say about Kathie and her staff.

The next nine months were a blur of preparation. However Kathie and Jeff were always available to answer any questions (no matter how small) we had along the way. Kathie and Jeff paid for themselves right away on our first purchase. We had to buy linens and Kathie’s exclusive discount saved us 50% off our linens and chairs. The discount turned out to be more than the fee we paid Austin Wedding Planners, so every additional discount we got (on the invitations, cake, tuxedos, etc.) felt like money that was going back to us. Kathie helped us find the perfect reception area downtown near the hotels, where our guests stayed. Jeff coordinated transportation to and from the church and reception. They came up with an innovative way to set-up our desert table. Everything was truly fantastic.

They introduced us to I Do Photography who was by far the best vendor at our wedding. Erica and Jessica not only blew us away with their unbelievable prices but also with their photos of such high quality. We didn’t hesitate for a second to book them on the spot. The bridal photos and pictures from the reception were perfect. Erica and Jessica compliment each other because they have contrasting styles in both personality and the way they shoot photos. Erica enjoys catching people when they aren’t looking at the camera so you get a lot of memorable candid photos that really capture the guests’ personalities. Jessica sets up posed pictures that are ready to go on either your mantle or wall as soon as they are taken. We got more compliments about the photos then any other aspect of our wedding (that might be a small exaggeration; I did look stunning in my tuxedo).

I could write a list of all the things they did for us leading up to the wedding but it wasn’t the wedding coordination that was the biggest service, it was the piece of mind. Knowing that Cynthia and I only had to focus on inviting our family and friends and making sure we were taken care of made the wedding planning a very stress-free process. We actually, dare I say it, enjoyed the wedding coordination that lead up to the big day.

The day of the rehearsal dinner came and we had to coordinate 60 guests for that dinner (there were 9 groomsmen and bridesmaids). Kathie went early to make sure the church was open and that everyone that should be there was. Jeff went to the rehearsal dinner, Old Pecan Street on 6th, to make sure it was decorated and that there were no issues. There wasn’t a single moment when Kathie and Jeff didn’t have a smile on their faces or seemed stressed, which, of course, allowed Cynthia and I to enjoy every minute of our rehearsal dinner.

The wedding day was full of people getting ready, which really put Kathie and Jeff to the test. All those months of preparations would either payoff or cause mass chaos. The first phone call I received that morning came from Kathie. I panicked. Why is she calling me? Who isn’t coming? Did one of the vendors cancel? Actually, she just called to assure that me everything was going to be okay and to remind me to enjoy the day.

Our wedding day was perfect. I truly am the luckiest man in the world. I married the woman I love. Kathie made that day perfect. Jeff was outstanding during the reception creating some memorable pictures and memories. Not only did I get the perfect wedding out of Austin Wedding Planners but I gained two new friends that will always be a part of our family. They found a way to take my Cuban and Dutch family and Cynthia’s Mexican family and create a night where everyone felt both included and enjoyed themselves.

Dear Kathie,
I just wanted to send you an email to thank you so much for your amazing work on our wedding day! You and your team really came through for me throughout the whole day, and it showed – I'm still receiving compliments! We know that the day went by so smoothly because of your expertise and attention! So many of our guests have commented since the big day, on how organized the wedding was – specifically on how put-together everything looked! Truly, we could not have pulled it off without your help.

Best Wishes,
Tali Wildman

Kiley Nees is amazing in every way. From the start of this journey we were on a short schedule. We were trying to pull together a 3-day wedding with less than 3 months to plan, due to my fiance' deploying to Iraq.

I had no time for anything, and most often when Kiley said, "How would you like this?" I said, "I don't know, make it pretty." And boy did she. Everything was amazing.

From day one Kiley was organized, professional and still excited for me. She pulled together so many things I never would have thought of, it would take a full book chapter to list everything she did. We had 3 full days of activities with a ceremony and reception at different sites. My fiance' rode in on a white horse, the ring bearer was my dog and we had an honor guard complete with sabres. Not only did Kiley make sure my husband's trustee steed was taken care of, she kept all those boys from stabbing anyone with their sabres. And when a button ripped off my dress at the last possible moment before the ceremony - Kiley magically appeared with a sewing kit in one hand and handing me a glass of wine with the other! Now that is a professional!

It was the most amazing, beautiful 3 days I could have imagined. Kiley and her assistants Jeff and Amber are the ones who made it possible. I will never forget their dedication. They made it the most amazing 3 days.

Sincerely,
Laura K. Szeremi DVM

Dear Kathie,
Wow! I can’t believe it’s been over a month since the wedding. And what I can’t believe even more is that its taken me this long to write you. Let me start out by saying that you far exceeded even my wildest expectations. I had the wedding of my dreams, in no small part thanks to you. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate all that you did to make my day so incredibly special. From ordering flowers to decorating the tables to arranging the cark (!) you went above and beyond the call of duty for this wedding. I know that I ABSOLUTELY could not have pulled this off without you and the help of Mary and Rachel. What a great team you all mad3e on the wedding day! I don’t know all the behind-the-scenes stuff that went on (and hope I never do!) that afternoon, but I do know that when I walked down and saw the mansion and courtyard decorated, I had never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life. It was so reassuring to know that I had nothing to worry about, because you were there to handle it all. And you did!! You have a true calling for what you do, and I know that I was truly blessed to have you working on my wedding. I have been singing your praises since the day we met, and I will continue to refer your services to anyone I know planning a wedding. Any girl would be lucky to have you on their side, because I know that it’s not just a wedding day, but it’s a relationship for life.

Thank you so much for everything. Words cannot express my sincerest gratitude. May God bless all that you do and fill your life with His greatest blessings.

Much love,
Melissa Hernadez

Dear Kathie,
I am writing this letter with hopes that you can share it with potential clients, because I feel very strongly that your services were so extraordinary and that others need to know what a superb job you do.

My wife and I were married in May of 2006, it was rather tricky since many of her family members who were attending live in Brazil. I determined right after our engagement that it was going to take a master of organization to put this together, given the distance and the timeframe. Kathie was referred to me and after our initial meeting, I quickly determined that she had all of the skills and contacts that were needed to put this very important event together.

Kathie arranged for my wife, Priscilla to meet with numerous vendors so that she could compare quality and the costs involved before deciding who would best fit her needs. We were both extremely impressed with the quality and professionalism of the vendors that she referred us to and it was a difficult decision to determine who was right for the venue that we wanted. We were also very impressed with how carefully and meticulously Kathie arranged each of the meetings and that she attended each of these meetings with us to ask the right questions and assist us in our decision-making process.

During the time between our initial meeting and the wedding date, Kathie kept in continual touch with us to inform us of things that needed to be done and to keep us abreast of what was happening with various vendors. It was wonderful to have someone that was on top of all details and who constantly reassured us that things were going together beautifully and reminding us to not worry, to just to relax and enjoy the fun part of those final days. We were definitely able to do that and I cannot stress enough how much it meant to all of us involved in the wedding, to be able to totally put everything in Kathie’s capable hands on the day of the wedding. It gave each of us the freedom to thoroughly enjoy each and every minute of the day. I credit Kathie and her attention to detail for everything going together in such a smooth, stress-free manner.

Our wedding had an interesting twist - we had planned on an outdoor wedding thinking, “Its Texas, it won’t rain” and we were right… that is until half an hour before the service. The sky opened up and it began to pour. I had no idea what to do, I looked to Kathie and saw that she was already in action. She had a beautiful “plan B” already prepared. It was a seamless transition of chairs, decorations, food, dance floor and just about everything else. It looked as if it was rehearsed a hundred times. In fact, none of the guests even knew that a change had taken place. The most amazing thing: The overwhelming exclamation from everyone who attended the wedding was a simple, unqualified “this wedding is the best wedding I’ve ever seen!”

I think all of us in our family would agree that there was not one thing we would change and that Kathie’s competent, self confident manner assured us every step of the way that things would go together and be all that we had hoped for. We put our complete trust in her abilities and were so incredibly satisfied with the results.

I would give Kathie the highest recommendation possible and I could give many more examples of her superb abilities, but I don’t want this to be too lengthy. I would welcome a phone call from anyone who would like to ask any questions and hear a glowing verbal recommendation. Using Kathie’s services was the best business decision we could possibly have made.

Dear Viv:

Words will not do justice to the gift of your hard work, endless support, and your incredible commitment to excellence. Sarah knew from the time she began visiting with you, that you were the one God brought into our life to help us bring this memorable event together. From the moment you began, you were so thorough and easy to work with. Thank you so much for your endless phone calls of reassurance and for attending to every detail. You were especially wonderful the way you dealt with the chair cover nightmare. You and your staff were there every step of the way, with sweet smiles and willing hands. You are definitely in your calling. So many times your calm words of encouragement and knowledge saw us through. You were such a blessing to all of us, and when I recount the wonderful weekend, you are there at the top.

May the Lord continue to richly bless you, and your business that He called and equipped you for.

Please allow us the privilege to highly recommend you!!

In Him,
Becca Clinch

I had no idea that planning my dream wedding could be this easy and stress-free! Kathie helped make the whole event possible, and there is no way it would have turned out the same without her help (especially the flowers that she ordered and professionally arranged herself!). The wedding turned out exactly as we imagined it, and our guests continued to compliment how beautiful everything looked!

I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding! I was extremely impressed with Kathie and how promptly, professionally, and enthusiastically she handled all of the details of planning and organizing the big day! I highly recommend Kathie Millen to any bride looking for a Wedding Coordinator to help plan that perfect day!

A very happy bride,
Autumn Lapaglia

I used Vivian Miller for my wedding planning, and I could not have made a finer selection.

I am a very involved actress in Los Angeles, California but had my wedding in my native Texas. I interviewed 25 wedding planners, and I had full confidence in Vivian.

Vivian worked diligently to create my ideas only through phone conversations and e-mails with me. My wedding day turned out to be breathtaking and trouble-free. The ceremony was stunning. The reception was brilliant.

I had a phenomenal time, and my 230 guests are still chatting about the ambience.

My momentous day was truly a FAIRY TALE!

D. McMullin

From the moment we met Kathie, she was so approachable and very friendly. She took a huge load off my mind for my upcoming wedding.

In using Austin Wedding Planners, I was able to have a beautiful wedding and also stay within my budget. I did not have a huge amount of money to spend, and Kathie was so sweet and thoughtful to take on my small wedding and make it the most beautiful and memorable day of my life.

Kathie assisted in all the planning and arranging of flowers, rentals, decorations, drinks, food, etc. You name it, she knew what to get.

The flowers were amazing, the decorations were wonderful and Kathie brought with her two assistants that covered everything from setting up and decorating, to welcoming all guest, to even fixing my dress and hair!!

I have to say, she was amazing and I was truly blessed to have her work at my wedding. She worked very very hard and it was worth every penny.

I would recommend using Austin Wedding Planners to any bride and groom who wants a beautiful wedding and wants the luxury of not stressing about it months in advance.

Sincerely,
Kristen A. Spell

Vivian Miller took care of our daughter’s wedding, which was June 10, 2006. I choose the Wedding Weekend Package. I hired Vivian in December and she started working then. Vivian gives you 110 percent of her time from the time you hire her to the very end. In fact she was willing to keep checking on some things for me after the wedding was over.

She is wonderful about answering your emails or phone calls. I met with her in March at Horseshoe Bay Resort where the wedding took place. She already had a checklist for me to be sure I had done certain things that needed to be done.

Vivian kept in close contact with me up to the weekend of the wedding. She makes you feel she has plenty of time for you and for what ever you need. Vivian and her assistant Kelly were on top of everything the whole weekend. In fact I really would have been a basket case if I didn’t have Vivian and Kelly at my side. They are so calm and they let you know that no matter what happens everything will be OK.

At 4:00PM, which is the time we were all to be at the church, my husband calls me to let me know that he forgot his tux shirt. I called Vivian in a panic, she says, “no problem”. She calls around and cannot find any tux places. She goes to Bealls and finds a shirt and Vivian and my husband take the top two buttons off and put his tux studs in and no one knows the difference. Then I show up about 4:30-4:45 with the top button to my suit in my hand. She gets in her magic bag and pulls out a needle already threaded with pink thread and sews my button on. Vivian is so calm, which makes everybody else calm which makes everybody else calm, which makes everything go so smoothly. The reception went on like clockwork under Vivian’s direction. She had a lot to deal with at the reception and handled it beautifully.

I would not hesitate to use Vivian again or recommend her to anyone. Thank you Vivian for a job well done and thank you for handling everything so professionally. I think the best recommendation I can give is that on the way home from the wedding my husband said that “the best money we spent on the whole wedding was hiring Vivian.

Fondly,

Dear Kathie,
Feel free to show this to any prospective clients.

Wanted you to know that it is always a pleasure doing business with you. You are knowledgeable about your product, always completely honest and straightforward. And you’re more than just friendly, more like a friend, there to help a busy client make the best decision for his company. I always look forward to getting together.

I don’t think you really need a letter of recommendation, because I believe anyone you meet can tell you are there for them within minutes of getting to know you. I, myself, recognized a true person the first time we crossed paths, and you have never given me reason to doubt my trust.

Best wishes in all your endeavors.

Yours truly,
Bob Brown

My experience working with Vivian was in a word, amazing. My fiancé and I had a relatively short engagement (3 months), but still wanted the type of wedding that people usually plan an entire year for. We thought we could handle it but about three weeks into it realized we were absolutely crazy and sought the help of a professional. Although I met with several wedding planners in the Austin vicinity, there was just something about Vivian that stood out to me against the rest. Upon our initial meeting, I was immediately drawn to her professionalism, friendliness, and overall demeanor; there was something about her that made me feel safe in her hands (and doesn’t every bride long for someone to help her settle down a notch or two and just relax!!)

Working together not only validated, but also exceeded my first impression. She left no detail untouched, was great about getting everything done that I needed, prompt in responding to emails and phone calls. She was willing to work around my schedule and go above and beyond the call of duty meeting all of our needs and taking care of us 100%, probably one of the greatest things about working with Vivian was that we felt like we were working alongside a true friend. Vivian showed us that she really cared for us as a couple and we were more than just a job to her. In fact my husband and I now joke about the fact that part of the reason we’re sad our wedding is over is because we no longer get to work and hang out with Vivian, she is that cool! I highly recommend Vivian to any and all out there about to begin planning a wedding. She is well worth the price and will be your knight in shining armor during a time that requires a lot of time and toil.

If you are looking for a real life fairytale, Vivian is your girl to make your dreams come true!

Kathie,
If anyone has earned some "thataboys", it is certainly you. You always
seem to work to your limits to make your clients feel important and
special. The open houses and networking meetings you have coordinated
at Star Hill have been first class. I owe a good portion of our early
success to your effort and caring.

Please give anyone my name as a reference.

Thanks, Adam

Star Hill Ranch

Dearest Vivian,

What can I say to ever thank you for the impeccable service I received for my wedding!!!! You made my wedding dreams come true and I truly felt like a princess. The level of ivdividual attention went above and beyond what I could have ever expected. You were always there for us from the very beginning right down to the very end. Your soothed me even when I chose to use certain vendors and I had the stress of finding another pastor, looking for a DJ that bailed out on me, and after the wedding when I was trying to figure out what happened to my pictures from my photographer; you were there for me 100% . You made me feel like my wedding was the number one priority on your list.

All my friends and family said that they could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding. The professionalism of your company was amazing and the fact that you spent hours and hours of time through the process on email and through the phone showed me just how much you truly care about Mig and me.

I truly would have never imagined that my wedding day would be so special and spectacular. The day of my wedding, you got sandwiches delivered to the church for me and my bridesmaids. You made sure everything went smoothly even when I realized that I forgot to give you my cake knife!!! You fixed the problem immediately. Even though little things are easily forgotten, you always had a solution to my problems and I am forever grateful.

My wedding would not have been as perfect as it was if it weren’t for you!!!

Forever Grateful and Appreciative,

Jennifer Sills-Almeida

Hello Prospective Client,

My name is Sabrina, and I hired Vivian as my “day of” coordinator. I’d like to start by saying that I am a “control freak”! As former Vice-President of a large European software company, I have a need to be involved and control every little detail of any situation. My fiancé and I needed someone who could handle the load of our wedding with professionalism, skill, talent, personality, and heart. Luckily, we found Vivian. She was a dream come true.

Our wedding was more of an entertainment venue, starting with a Mariachi group for our pre-reception Hors D’oeuvre-cocktail hour. After dinner, we had a Japanese Taiko Drum group perform, immediately followed by a Chinese Lion Dance group performance. For the rest of the night we had a Celebrity DJ spin records. My fiance and I live in Hawaii, so planning and coordinating a wedding was not an easy task, especially with such a wide variety of entertainment acts.

I only wish anyone considering Vivian could have witnessed my wedding. Words cannot describe the incredible work Vivian and her assistants did in decorating, coordinating vendors, and attending to our guests. Vivian went above and BEYOND what we had hired her for. In fact, we felt bad paying her what we did because her services were more in line with an A-list million dollar coordinator from Hollywood.

The theme of our wedding was Chinese. I handed Vivian a container full of Asian decorations and told her to use whatever she could, and decorate however she wanted. For the first time in my life, I trusted someone so much that I gave Vivian no direction or instruction on how to decorate anything. The pre-reception and reception were absolutely stunning; everyone was speechless.

Vivian was our coordinator, but she is now a friend and a part of our family. I guarantee that anyone who hires her will not regret it. Vivian and her team put their heart and soul into everything they do, and because of that, our wedding was and is the most spectacular event of our lives and an unforgettable evening for our guests. So look no further, because you have just found the coordinator to the stars.

Sincerely,
Sabrina Chapa
