The Perfect Planner for our Perfect Day

I cannot recommend Ren Newey and the incredible team at 36th Street Events highly enough. 10/10, without hesitation.

I was a very Type A bride with a clear, specific vision and a defined budget, and from day one, she truly got it. She understood exactly what I was trying to create, elevated the concept in ways I never could have imagined, and then executed it flawlessly. Every detail felt intentional, cohesive, and true to us.

What stood out most was her tact, empathy, and advocacy. She helped us thoughtfully incorporate meaningful cultural elements and honor lost loved ones with such grace and sensitivity. Throughout the entire process, she consistently centered my husband’s and my needs, ensuring our voices were heard and respected at every step.

We planned our wedding remotely from the East Coast, which could have been overwhelming, but she made it seamless. She expertly organized and executed two highly efficient planning weekends, coordinating vendor meetings, tastings, and walkthroughs so everything fit perfectly into just a few days. Her organization, communication, and preparation were exceptional.

On the wedding day itself, she was nothing short of a superhero, somehow everywhere and nowhere all at once. The day ran smoothly, calmly, and beautifully, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress. Our post-wedding debrief call the next day was honestly one of our favorite parts of the experience; it was thoughtful, thorough, and a true reflection of how much she cares about her clients.

If you are looking for a planner who is professional, calm under pressure, deeply organized, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, Ren and the 36th Street team are unmatched. I would recommend them again and again without reservation.

Cohesive Vision, Zero Stress on the Day

36th Street Events was the best decision we made for our wedding. We hosted 125 guests at Mattie’s Green Pastures (Austin) and had Beth as our lead planner for 16 months of full planning, with Bailee supporting day-of. The biggest thing they solved: decision fatigue and vendor chaos. Beth consistently brought high-quality options, gave thoughtful guidance, and offered a recommendation when we asked—so we felt confident throughout the process. Her knowledge of the Austin vendor landscape made it easy to assemble a cohesive team across categories, and she helped us understand market value so we avoided costly mistakes. Standout examples: coordinating a florals dry run at the venue at our exact event time, proofing designs from start to finish, and running a tight, realistic timeline. On the day, Bailee handled logistics and small issues invisibly, which let us be fully present.

Ideal for couples who want strong taste, clear decision support, and flawless execution—highly recommend.

Best Planner EVER!

Ren Newey and the team at 36th Street Events made our wedding day dreams come to life in ways I never thought possible. Throughout the planning process, Ren truly listened to our vision, offered expert recommendations on vendors and logistics, and helped us thoughtfully weigh the pros and cons of every decision. The result was a wedding day that was flawlessly executed. Truly nothing went wrong!

As a perfectionist, it was difficult to entrust someone else with the execution of such an important day, one made up of hundreds of tiny details, but Ren and her team absolutely nailed it. I cannot even count how many guests told us, “This was the most beautiful and well-executed wedding we’ve ever been to!”

This level of success was only possible because of Ren’s ability to listen so carefully to us, her client, remain calm and focused during moments of chaos, and seamlessly manage a large team of vendors throughout both the planning process and the day itself. I will forever be grateful for the time, effort, expertise, and genuine care Ren poured into creating our perfect day!

The Reason Our Guests Called It “The Best Wedding Ever”

Ren was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly organized, professional, and communicative. Coming from a client services background, I knew I needed someone who would be calm under pressure, deeply reliable, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure our wedding was truly seamless, and Ren exceeded every expectation.

She navigated communication with both sides of our family with grace and confidence, which gave us so much peace of mind. I trusted her completely at every step, and that trust paid off in her thoughtful recommendations and the amazing vendor team she helped us assemble. I came in with a clear vision for our wedding, and somehow she made it even better than I could have imagined.

After the wedding, so many of our guests told us it was “the best wedding they’ve ever been to,” and that is a true testament to Ren’s talent, attention to detail, and ability to bring everything together flawlessly.

Ren was more than just a wedding planner, she became a friend during a time when I was navigating both wedding planning and a major career transition. I’m truly going to miss our monthly check-ins, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

BEST wedding planner

I cannot recommend 36th Street Events enough - they are amazing and gave us the wedding of our dreams! My husband and I are both working professionals and initially felt overwhelmed by the wedding planning process. We were so lucky to find Beth from 36th Street; some planning services force you to pick from a standard package of planning services, but Beth really listened to us and designed a custom plan for our needs. She helped us with specific design, planning, vendor, and event management elements we were looking for and was an expert across all of these areas. She is highly organized and responsive, has a demeanor that is calm, kind and easy to work with, has a ton of knowledge and experience, and always made sure our interests were reflected on the wedding day. The wedding day was gorgeous and ran so smoothly; Beth and her team were on top of every detail. I felt so relaxed the whole day and all of my guests commented on how great our planning team was. Do not miss out on a chance to work with Beth or 36th Street Events - they will give you an incredible wedding and amazing experience!

Best Decision We Made!

We hired Ren Newey at 36th Street Events to help with the Event Management and Coordination of our Wedding and it was easily the best decision we made. She was wonderful to work with throughout. There is nothing better than approaching wedding day and having complete confidence that everything will run smoothly because you have complete trust in that person. Ren earned that and more. She is extremely organized and very communicative and we would highly recommend to anyone.

The perfect day!!

We just got married (6/16/23) and had Jessika from 36th St. Events helped with both our design concept and planning (she helped us initially in the “lighter planning/advisory” service and then onto full service 2-month-out planning and coordination). Hiring her and the team was one of the MOST important and valuable choices we made early on in the planning process! Our day was actually perfect (seriously, nothing went wrong) and that is thanks to the hard work of Jessika and the 36th St. team 💌 She’s the best and I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Jessika is an absolute lifesaver

Jessika was such a lifesaver for our wedding! We had moved away from Austin and were functionally organizing a destination wedding from afar, so we hired her for day-of services plus advance planning for three months before, We simply couldn't have done it without her. Before the big day, she helped us think through logistics and did such a stellar job of walking the line between helping us realize our ideas...and gently nudging when we needed the professional guidance to steer away from some of those ideas. The thing you want on the day of is knowing you're in good hands so you can focus on the moment, and we were only able to do that because of her. Jessika and her staff handled a thousand tiny things to make the day go smoothly and we didn't even notice anything was awry, which is the highest compliment. She even transported a carful of decor to and from the venue, really above and beyond. We highly recommend her!

A Dream to Work With

Jessika was easily my favorite part of planning our wedding. We had to postpone our wedding one year due to COVID, and Jessika made the entire process so much less stressful. We had a small issue come up the week of our wedding, and she called us to let us know and already had a solution ready. That's exactly what you need the week of your wedding. Jessika is the absolute best at what she does, and I loved working with her to bring our wedding vision to life. If you are considering wedding planners, you can end your search now. If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would!

The Perfect Wedding Agency!

36th Street Events is definitely one of the more well known wedding planning agencies in the city, and it's obvious why. They make the planning process seamless. Coming from an events agency background myself, it was important to me that I didn't need to worry about anything and that the planner had processes and procedures that made the event seamless. I truly was able to throw all of my already planned details, not so planned details, and details I didn't know about yet at my planner (Chanler). She was as involved as she needed to be as a month of planner (as in, she wasn't all over me, nor did she ghost when I needed - she was perfectly accessible). And she took all of my details and executed the event flawlessly and with a smile on her face! I'd like to think I was easier than most as I didn't have a ceremony, but I'm certain she would have handled that with grace and ease as well. I'm truly grateful for Chanler - and the pricing was competitive too, so I know I chose correctly!

I have been in the event industry for 13 years managing bands that play dozens of weddings and events each year. I have worked with Ren Newey of 36th Street Events since she started in this business 7 years ago. She was good at her job then and has only gotten better with time and experience. When a client tells me that Ren is their planner, I immediately breath a sigh of relief. Ren creates not only beautiful, well-designed events but also a true team environment. I know that Ren will not make any decisions without first recognizing how the vendors may be effected and contacting them to make sure they have everything needed to provide the client the very best experience. When compromises must be made, she works with her vendors to find solutions that allow each participant to put their best foot forward with minimal disruption. She is a wonderful communicator and executes not only with confidence in her abilities and her plan, but also with trust in her vendors to make the night special for her clients. I can not overstate how important it is as a vendor to go into an event stress-free, with a clearly articulated plan and confidence that everyone on the event will work together to make it work for everyone. That state of mind makes the day go smoothly and the job an absolute joy. And that results in the best possible outcome for the client and their guests. I once asked one of my band members how an event with another planner went. His reply was “I wonder if it was her first wedding. Maybe I’m just used to the “Ren” types.” So, long and short of it, Ren and 36th Street Events set the standard. And rightfully so.
