Top Notch!

My wife and I are not the type of people who ever write online reviews, but we were so blown away by Laura's services as our wedding coordinator/planner that we knew we had to make an exception.

Our first impression of Laura was that she was extremely friendly, professional, patient, and organized - right after our first meeting with Laura, my now-wife and I turned to each other and said, "Wow, she's really good."

As we continued through the planning process, we were constantly impressed by her prompt and clear communications, flexibility with meeting timings, and vast experience with local Houston vendors. She served as a fantastic sounding board as we brainstormed some initial ideas for our wedding, and as plans started to solidify, she provided invaluable recommendations for how best to bring our vision to life, all while helping us maintain a budget-conscious mindset. Whenever we had one-off questions between meetings, she was very responsive to all our texts.

The day of the wedding, she and her team thoroughly handled all logistics and even went above and beyond in adding some final touches to spruce up the venue. We were able to fully enjoy our special day because we had total peace of mind that everything had been coordinated by Laura.

Looking back at the whole process, we can't think of a single thing that could have been improved - no notes! We cannot overstate how highly we recommend Laura's services, and we can't thank Laura and her team enough for all their help!

Laura is the best coordinator I could have chosen for my wedding!

Laura Cardiel was my coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL... I loved working with her and her team every step of the way and would absolutely recommend her to any friends/family getting married. Laura was easy to get in touch with and always willing to help me/answer questions when I needed her! Her flexibility for scheduling calls was beyond appreciated. She was also unbelievably patient with me, since I am not the most decisive person and can be a bit of a perfectionist with things.. but her kindness and professionalism put me at ease throughout the planning process. On the actual wedding day we did not see each other much, but for good reason since she proved to be the BEST coordinator I could have hired!!! If anything went wrong, I never knew about it or even noticed! The whole day was perfect and everything played out like I had imagined. Even if we were behind schedule, she remained calm and kind while getting us back on track. The secondary coordinator on scene, Kathleen, was absolutely wonderful as well! I truly believe I could not have chosen a better coordinator for my wedding day, as it was the most stress free experience for me, my husband, and our parents. Laura's flexibility, kindness, professionalism, and wedding expertise were demonstrated throughout the entire process and I am almost sad to say goodbye!

Every detail counted!

At first I was indifferent in choosing a wedding planner for our event, but after talking to Laura and hearing how personalized and unique she made our day feel, we knew that she was the right one to choose! When she couldn’t be there for our special day, she not only discussed everything with us prior, but she also offered us the help of two wonderful coordinators she works with, Scoot and Kathleen. They both made our day just as special and I can’t thank all of them enough for their services and caring nature towards the whole process.

Laura, Scott, and Kathleen catered to all of our needs even though we only had them for partial planning and they all made us feel appreciated every time we got to talk and work with them. I think Scott was such a GEM!!! Also, thank you so so much Laura for every little detail you put into the day for us that really made it special like the audio guestbook and the easels and even the cake stand! Those things made the day so great and we couldn’t have done this without all of your team! Thank you thank you so so much!! We’ll definitely keep in touch!

Absolutely necessary!

Laura and her team did a great job. She worked very well with me including last minute additions and take aways. Notably, when I had a moment of frustration she took the time to listen and provided feedback. I am very appreciative she was able to work within our budget and bring our vision to life. Our guests complemented our wedding day and we still receive compliments. Having a wedding planner is NECESSARY. I thought I could do everything, but as a working mom its not possible. Plus the knowledge and skill she brought to the conversations when I was usure. Words can not express the gratitude I have for Cardi Elegant being apart of our day and I would highly recommend their services.

Couldn't be happier!!!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Cardi Elegant as our day-of wedding coordinator, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we first met Laura, it was clear that she was both excited and eager to be our day of coordinator. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it really helped us relax during what can be a stressful time.

Laura assured us from the beginning that she had everything under control, and she absolutely delivered on that promise. Her planning was incredibly thorough and detail-oriented, ensuring that no aspect of our big day was overlooked. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed, allowing us to enjoy our day without any worries. We especially loved the details she added to our wedding cake which included a beautiful arrangement of wild flowers. An added bonus, she even created a social media post highlighting our wedding. She also came with an assistant so everything day-of was executed in a timely manner.

Having seen all her great reviews, we had high expectations, and Laura lived up to every one of them. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine passion for her work made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding coordinator.

Thank you Laura for making our wedding day perfect!

Majestic experience at The Majestic Metro

We hired Laura to handle our wedding and we couldn't have made a better choice. In addition to being professional and responsive, she handled each element with care and captured all of those small details that made our wedding so memorable. She went above and beyond and we highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner/organizer.

Wedding with NINE fur babies in the ceremony went amazingly!

We hired Laura as our month of coordinator and are so happy that we did! She was amazing and a huge help during our wedding day. From the moment we first talked to Laura we knew she was the coordinator we wanted to work with. She was always very enthusiastic and genuinely sounded happy to help us have our wedding dreams come true.

The biggest thing I was looking for was someone that would allow me to be stress free as the wedding came closer. Which is exactly what Laura offered us. The whole month prior to the wedding she took charge of the vendors and all communication went to her so we did not have to deal with them going forward. She created a timeline for our wedding day and sent it to our all our vendors so that way everyone was on the same page. She even created a visual layout for the wedding that way everyone understood where rentals, activities, and ceremony were going to take place.

Her team was there during our wedding rehearsal and ensured that the entire wedding party knew their roles during the wedding day, where everyone was going to stand during the ceremony, and in what order everyone was going to walk down the aisle. It may sound like a simple task but running it thru really allowed my wedding ceremony to go smoothly. It was surprising how many small details Laura and her team caught that allowed my ceremony to go smoother and look more visually appealing with how things were set up.

On the wedding day Laura really kept things moving and helped trouble shoot several problems throughout the day. This allowed me to focus on myself and actually have the time to get ready for the wedding without feeling like I had to ensure everyone was doing their jobs and vendors were arriving on time.

Laura and her team really made a huge difference for our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone that is currently looking for a wedding planner/coordinator. If Laura and her team were able to handle our group of friends and 9 dogs that were all part of our wedding and ceremony, then I think she can handle anything!
