Hi Everyone,

We've set a date and have our ceremony spot (Mayfield Park), and have come to terms with the fact that it'll be impossible to plan this thing without some outside assistance :)

Can anyone suggest a good wedding planner/coordinator in Austin?  Specifically, we will definitely need day-of coordination, possibly month-of.  Not sure...Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

    Rachel Stepanov from Buon Affare! I LOOOOVE her! My wedding is about 3 weeks away and I've been making use of her services for a little under a year, she is amazing! Her price is great and she can do it all, I would definitely recommend that you check her out:

    We are using Something To Celebrate. I just got day-of coordination, and they were the cheapest that I found. I fell in love with them when I met them!

    I am using Jeff McKnight with Elite Weddings - formerly with Austin Wedding Planners. He is fantastic and can do as much or as little as needed.

    You should also look at "Leave the Details to Me". Keri Wootton is the owner and primary coordinator and she does amazing work! She taught the wedding coordinator class I took at ACC. Her web address is http://www.leavethedetails2me.com/  I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Thanks everyone!  It's too funny - I assumed there would be consensus around a few different options, but you all have different planners and love them.  I'll definitely start calling around today or tomorrow - just another exciting part of the process!

    I will add to the chatter and recommend Aimee Villa of Lizze Belle Event Management: http://www.lizzebelle.com/about.htm I am planning a long-distance wedding and mostly using her for day of/weekend of, but she's been superb about responding, providing helpful suggestions, vendor backups when my original ideas fall through....

    Thanks again!  I left messages at several places - seems everyone was out of the office planning your weddings :)

    Now, to find a reception venue...

    I second Becky at Stress Free.  You can see review in my bio. Great (and way more affordable than most other planners).

    I'm using Stephanie from Your Wedding, Your Way.  She's wonderful.  My sister used her for her wedding and it was absolutely beautiful!  My sister was as relaxed as she could possibly be on her wedding day (considering she was about to get married that is...).  She's been an absolute doll for our wedding.  I'm using her for full service, but I'm pretty sure her day-of is only like 500 or something.  here's her site.  www.ywywaustin.com Good luck! Make sure you meet whoever you hire... you're gonna want to make sure you get along with whoever it is.
