About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Bride’s Best Friend strives to inspire her clients to have confidence in the day, stop worrying about the menage of details, and focus on being present in one of the biggest moments of their lives.

We want to design an experience that is completely unique to you. We don’t do cookie cutter weddings, because we believe each person is a unique happy human and as a couple, your wedding should reflect who you are. We achieve this through rational compassion and education. If you want to spend your budget on donkeys for your cocktail hour – awesome – but we’ll make sure that we are all on the same page about what you might need to give up to create the budget you need for that. You may make the same decision, and that’s great, but you’ll know what you may have to give up for that piece of awesomeness.

Services Offered

We offer three package levels so you can find a package that fits your needs and planning style.

  • Full Service Wedding Planning

    The full service wedding planning package has it all. We take it from here! You just go continue to enjoy your engagement and merging your lives together and we will check in to get your decision making power with all the research already completed.

  • Partial Wedding Planning

    Still want to do the planning but supported by the experts? The partial wedding planning package was created to help guide you in your process. With regular check-ins to make sure you’re on track, and customized budget, we help make sure you have all the knowledge you need to make the big decisions.

  • Wedding Day Management

    Never worry about if the place settings are set out just the way you planned. We’ll take care of all of the behind the scenes details so you can be present in your moment. The wedding day management package is a full wedding coordination package that begins 8-10 weeks out from your wedding day and includes comprehensive agenda planning, unlimited consultation via email as well as full day of service from setup to breakdown.

We would love to be a part of your wedding and look forward to hearing from you!

Couldn't be happier

Hiring Truly Together Event Co. to help us plan our wedding was hands down the best decision I made in 2024. As someone with ADHD who gets easily overwhelmed by a million details, they made the whole process so much easier. Due to our small guest count, we opted for “wedding day management,” which included a detailed spreadsheet of everything we needed to do on our own before they took over. We were also able to add on “venue selection,” so we could get an expert’s opinion while choosing our venue (I had no idea where to start). We ended up with the perfect venue, and all their vendor recommendations were fantastic. Our caterer even agreed to reduce their minimum just because we were working with Truly Together—we wouldn’t have been able to book them otherwise! Samantha was kind, helpful, and professional. Our whole wedding day timeline went perfectly—we even had a few moments where we were ahead of schedule and I could take a breath! Most importantly, they ensured everything about our wedding reflected who we are as a couple—which is not conventional at all. Samantha wasn’t phased by any of our unique choices (blue dress, no officiant, no alcohol). Our wedding day was perfect, and we are forever grateful to this team for making it happen for us.

Just hire them.

We hired Melissa to be our wedding coordinator and couldn't be happier. All of the pre-wedding online meetings and resources gave us a great starting point to begin planning our wedding. I have never been involved in planning a wedding before my own, so I wouldn't have known where to start otherwise. The progress meetings were very helpful for keeping on track and moving things along. The venue walk-through made me realize a lot of things I hadn't thought about. Some good tweaks in our plans came out of the walk-through, thanks to Melissa's wealth of experience and lessons learned from tons of other weddings. The day of coordination was fantastic. The month of our wedding, my partner and I had just gone through a tough move out of our house into an apartment on top of all the wedding planning, and we were exhausted. I'm a project manager for my job, so I thought I had the stamina for this all of this, but by the morning of the wedding I was so burnt out that I wasn't capable of making one more decision or keeping track of anything at all. I had mush brain. Melissa and her assistant being there meant that I didn't have to worry about anything and I could be led along like a sheep in her pro hands. I didn't have to be at the venue at all the morning of the wedding so I was able to gather my nerves, relax and get ready with my girls. Everything at the venue was perfect when I showed up and we could focus on the important part- actually getting married. Melissa made sure we had food, drinks, water, everything we needed. She oversaw a room flip, all the timeline of events, and kept us updated about any changes or decisions, of which there were almost none. It just went perfectly smoothly, and if it didn't, I sure didn't notice or hear about it. Also, our elderly parents and family with young kids did not have the burden of staying until midnight to wait for vendors to pack out and to lock the venue. We returned to the venue the next day to cart our things away and do some final clean up, but most of it was already taken care of, which was so nice. Melissa is worth her weight in gold. Aside from being direct, professional, and SO on top of things (project manager traits which I really appreciate), Melissa was also kind, genuine, and made us feel special and cared for. If you don't want a wedding planner because you think you can do it all yourself, or want to save money... at the very least hire Truly Together as coordinators because we consider them the most essential vendor we had.

Absolutely Exceptional Wedding Coordinator!

We were lucky enough to have Cassie Abbott with Truly Together Event Co as our wedding coordinator, and I can't express just how incredible her services were. From our very first interaction, we knew we were in good hands.
Cassie Abbott is a true professional with an impeccable eye for detail. She helped us navigate every step of the wedding planning process, from selecting the perfect venue to coordinating with vendors, designing the décor, and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. Her attention to detail with vendors was astounding, making sure every aspect of our wedding was perfect.
Cassie and her team went above and beyond to ensure our daughter's special day was truly magical. She does so many things behind the scenes that we never even thought of. She had the ability to coordinate things that have never been done before with the venue to make our daughter’s wedding what we dreamed it would be. She works seamlessly with the vendors. She has a great relationship with her staff, outside vendors, and clients. This is imperative and she made it look easy! Her creativity and expertise were evident in every aspect of our wedding, and she made our vision come to life even better than we could have imagined.
As someone who loves to plan parties and is a planner by nature, I had high expectations, and Cassie far surpassed them! She is calm, she is reassuring, she is confident and she is more than capable! Communication was always prompt and clear, making us feel well-informed and taken care of. Cassie genuinely cared about making our daughter’s wedding day unforgettable, and she delivered on that promise and then some. Our guests were blown away!
And most importantly, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing she had everything under control.
If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only highly skilled but also truly passionate about creating magical moments, Cassie is the one. We can't thank her enough for making our daughter’s wedding day the best day of our lives. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a stress-free and stunning wedding experience!

Cassie, with Bride’s Best Friend, can truly be an asset to your wedding. We worked together, with a very down to earth bride, during one of the craziest rainy seasons Texas has ever seen. Cassie made all of the right decisions at the right times to ensure that this wedding went off without a hitch, despite the rain. She was extremely professional, friendly, and provided excellent communication between the bride and all of her vendors. Cassie was quick to respond and always had an answer for us, whether it was before the wedding with a rain plan, or during our decor set up when items were missing. She is on top of her details. Although I did not get to personally see Cassie in action, I know she did a fantastic job because she set herself and this wedding up for success.
