Where do I even start?! I first reached out to her after finding a few vendors on my own and feeling completely overwhelmed with planning a wedding in a different state. After our initial phone call, I felt 100% confident that Events Unleashed was going to be perfect for us. Lahoma was very organized, and gave me “bite-sized” checklists to help the planning process not seem so daunting. I didn’t come into the process with much of a vision, and Lahoma made a special effort to get to know me and my fiance to help us put together a cohesive, gorgeous wedding.

Lahoma is very well-connected in the Austin area, and she was able to give me several great options to choose from for each vendor. If there were ever any issues with vendors, Lahoma made it her mission to advocate for us and make sure that we got the service we agreed to. Her assistant is also fabulous! He was always timely with scheduling vendor meetings, sending me contracts, and following up with vendors for any questions I had.

Our touch base meetings were a priority for Lahoma, and she was always available when I had a quick question or needed some advice. Our meetings were always productive, but we also had a good time with plenty of laughs! Not only did she become my confidant for all things wedding, but she executed our event flawlessly the day of! All of the bridal party and guests were so impressed with how smoothly the day ran. The best part was that I felt ZERO stress the day of my wedding because I knew I could trust Lahoma and her team to get it done. I was getting compliments for weeks on how great my planner must have been (she was!). Now that the wedding is over, the only regret I have is not contacting Events Unleashed sooner!

If you are you planning on having a wedding, make sure to get a coordinator who can do it all: Lahoma Dade of Events Unleashed. We were lucky enough to hire her a year in advance for a Sunday wedding in October of 2021.

She did a really great job of actualizing our expectations. We knew we wanted a wedding, we had a venue and we had a day. As for the rest of the details, we were like “HELP!!!”

Lahoma quickly sent over a list of favorite caterers, florists and event rental companies. In no time, we scheduled appointments with all and quickly secured vendors. She helped create a to-do checklist to make sure we ordered tuxes, made sure the wedding party had dresses and suits, flowers were ordered, buses, security, etc.

When the month of the wedding arrived, our bi/triweekly check-ins turned into weekly check-ins. Lahoma always made sure we knew what was missing and helped to fix it. Truly she created an atmosphere of anticipation rather than unwanted stress or confusion.

The day of the wedding was incredibly stress free. We knew we hired professionals but we were still under the impression we needed to arrive early to assist minor things (placing linens on tables, unfolding chairs, etc). She quickly pointed to both groom’s cottages and let us know we needed to focus on relaxing and getting ready because she had it all under control.

Lahoma kept our timeline tight! She made sure the wedding party was where they needed to be when they needed to be there. She kept needy family members focused. She helped the photographer (also amazing) coordinate images.

Her staff, her service and attention to detail truly allowed us to be guests at our own wedding. Everything ran so smoothly down to the smallest details. Work with Events Unleashed knowing that your event will be organized, stress free, and fun!

We found Lahoma through a wedding planning platform, connecting with a few planners before ultimately selecting her to help us plan this special day. This was the best decision we could have made. For context, this was was our second wedding to plan, since we were initially supposed to get married in Hawaii, and we truly could not have done this without her. She was absolutely amazing to work with and helped bring our vision to life in only one months' time. She was very organized and kept us on track in making decisions to keep our timeline, and on top of it, she was so much fun to work with. At our initial meeting, Lahoma asked thoughtful questions and provided suggestions, and by the end, she knew exactly what sort of experience we wanted to create for our guests and what was most important to us. She has a vast network of vendors that she could tap into and was very open and willing to work with vendors from our network or look for additional vendors to supplement. Lahoma conducted screening calls with each of the vendors beforehand so that by the time that we spoke with them, they were a high contender, saving us so much time. Each of the vendors that she connected us with and that we ultimately ended up using were professional and fun to work with. On the day of, Lahoma took care of everything so that we could sit back, relax, and enjoy, including making sure there was enough water / drinks while getting ready, everyone was in the right positions, and loading up for us at the end of the night. Lahoma was on our same wavelength and we trusted her to make game time decisions on our behalf. Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more and our guests had such an amazing time. We hope that we have the opportunity to work with her again as a future party planner. We love Lahoma!
