| Description | Most destination wedding celebrations last for around three to four days. Sometimes, the wedding group stays longer so everyone can have more fun together. As long as you're there for all the main wedding events, you can choose to stay for as long as you want and we help plan, coordinate, and produce every detail, so you can enjoy. | Where do you start, and how will you juggle 100+ hours of event planning with everything else you have going on? Hiring a full-service planner is a must-investment for the busy professional or full-time student. Just like hiring an architect and general contractor to design and build a new home, hiring a planner is wise. You still get to participate as much as you want and make final decisions, but you won’t stress about planning the details. | When booking our "Wedding Day Management" package, our event clients do all the planning independently. We are a resource for questions and If they need assistance in finding vendors, we have a list of our recommended vendors. We start our "Wedding Day Management" package, 30 or 60 days before the event. | Focused on transforming your space and bringing your vision to life. Through careful selection of colors, lighting, decor, and other visual elements, I can create an immersive and cohesive experience that resonates with attendees. |

Disasterous Wedding Day
We had the worst, most disastrous wedding possible with this Event Coordinator/Owner. Absolutely nothing was consistent with the contract or meetings that were held prior to the event. There was not adequate space even though we were assured by the owner, Christi, that space was not a problem for 100 guests. On the day of my wedding, we found out by the DJ there would be no dance floor. Apparently, she was aware several days prior and never said a word to us. There were no appetizers for cocktail hour. We were contracted to have shrimp, 2 ways, and a variety of cheeses and fruits. We had thinly sliced parmesan cheese! According to the caterer, the shrimp, fruit and cheeses were never purchased. We paid for 100 people. There was not enough food, no bread, no cheeses, no fruit, no shrimp. There was no cake table, no water, one 32oz. Sprite and one 32oz. Coke for 100 people. We provided the wine, beer, alcohol and ice and had the worst time with her so called bar tenders, who were dressed so inappropriately for my event. The bride and groom suites were in shambles at noon when we were scheduled to arrive. Nothing was ready. I returned home for makeup and preparing for my wedding and returned at 2:45pm. It was still 80 degrees in the venue. There were supposed to be snacks, vanity for makeup, bourbon and snacks for the grooms suite. There were no towels, soap, toilet paper available in either suite. An Air BNB was included in my package. It obviously was not ready or appropriate to stay in for the night. My husband and I returned home with our out of town guests by 10pm. At noon my seating and tables were not dressed, no decor of any sort! Guest would be arriving after 3pm to be seated for the ceremony. We did not get the photo booth, double booked our photographer and found out at our final meeting on Monday prior to my wedding on Saturday. We were informed by the photographer that she would not be at our wedding because she had been double booked. Christi assured us she has a back up and finally, on Thursday evening received contact information from a very nice person who agreed to be at my wedding but first wanted me to know he was not a professional photographer but took "great pictures". He is, in fact, a wonderful person and was the most helpful person of the day. Most of the staff walked out the morning of my wedding, according to the only 2 members of staff that were present during my wedding. My fiance and his family had to ice the beer, wine and champagne because none of it had been done by 2pm and we were told the bartender would arrive at 5pm. He arrived at 5:30, one hour into cocktail service. My family had to run to the store for water, Coke and sprite. Christi finally showed up to my event at 6pm. The ceremony was at 4pm, and she knew that nothing was going as planned and still left for another event. My arch as my back drop for my ceremony were 3 branches nailed together. My friends and family from out of state and town were painfully aware of how horrible the event was developing. Most of our guests left the venue between 8-9pm. Some were not fed, very uncomfortable due to the hot temperature in the venue, and not able to dance since there was no dance floor, only a deck outside the venue where heels would get caught. Christi's lack of concern, remorse, or sense of urgency is the most appalling of all.
Exceptional Event coordinator
From start to finish you can count on Christi and the Lone Star Events & Halls, LLC team to ensure all partner vendors and customers are aligned on the vision, concept, objectives, plans, and deliverables. They are very attentive to details and results, as evidenced by how they handled special and unique requests from our couple and made sure the caterer followed through in delivering as promised. Lone Star Events & Halls, LLC has a great warm and personable personality and can-do spirit that made working with them a pleasure from beginning to end.
Response from vendor•Feb 22, 2025Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure working with you and ensuring every detail aligned with the couple’s vision. We take great pride in creating seamless and memorable experiences, and we’re thrilled to hear that our dedication and attention to detail stood out. Looking forward to the next opportunity to work together!Beach Wedddin disaster
Was not decorated well at all did not stay as long as we paid for also paid for extra workers whom did not show up was a disaster
Response from vendor•Feb 26, 2025I just found this review. We find this disturbing to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, especially after you personally shared that you enjoyed your wedding and appreciated our work. Our team worked diligently to execute the agreed-upon plan, including the Decorations that was not apart of the original agreement and given to us with limited instruction on setup and time. Regarding the additional staff, we had the necessary team present to manage the event as contracted. If there were any misunderstandings, we would have been happy to address them during the event. Client satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we encourage open communication. We’d be happy to discuss any concerns further to clarify any miscommunications. Please feel free to reach out.
