Amazing!
The privilege of working alongside such a great company, made the wedding process so much easier! When I first met Rich, the majority of the wedding had been planned, but it was those fine minute details that I never thought, that she knew I needed that set my wedding over the top! When I say Rich and the Fervent Designs Team was one of the most amazing investments I could‘ve made; my husband and I are just beyond grateful. 10/10 all the way. Book with the best and she’ll exceed your expectations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Museum Wedding 2024
I booked Fervent Designs from Bridal Extravaganza January 2024. What drew me to this company was the knowledge of my venue which was the Museum of Natural Science in Houston, TX. Richandra who is the owner has worked for over 15 years with the museum in multiple capacities. She knew all the rules and regulations so it made planning a breeze. We had a very non traditional wedding and Fervent Designs was able to help facilitate that. Richandra met with us very often to make sure ever detail was planned. Day of I had multiple teams members from Fervent to assist with all aspects of the wedding. Truly an unforgettable time. Thank you so much Richandra and team for planning this event.

A Blessing
What I could say about Fervent designs can be turned into a book, but I will try to keep this short. Rich was a dream from start to finish, from blowing me away at the bridal show all the way to personally dropping off my wedding license at my doorstep with OFFICAL COPIES.
I have never been a planning type of lady, especially not for 100 people or more. I was blessed to find Rich; she made everything so easy, she had vendors all over, and most were lovely. I had one odd experience and she handled it. (And it was the one vender I picked outside of her; guess I learned my lesson.) But it was handled repeatedly by her until it was done.
I was overwhelmed a lot and she talked me through things, it helped keep me grounded when I felt like I was drowning in wedding stuff. She MC’d My rehearsal dinner, she hosted my wedding beautifully?
I was nervous when my bridal assistant was not going to be her, but Bianca was a gift from God. That woman knows how to have fun, keep things calm all while keeping things moving. Immaculate professionalism from Bianca, Rich, and the rest of her lovely staff.
One of my dear friends of 10 years said, “I never knew my girl deserved and needed to have a wedding planner till I saw yours.” I had so many people refer to her by name, even my guests who liked to complain had nothing but compliments.
I do not plan to get married twice, but I will see her and her 11/10 staff when my baby shower happens.
Thank you for a magical night.

Exceeding Expectations: A Tribute to Houston's Premier Wedding Planner
As a wedding photographer who recently collaborated with one of Houston's top wedding planners, I can't help but applaud her remarkable workmanship. Her attention to detail was nothing short of impressive, ensuring that every facet of the wedding was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. From coordinating vendors to orchestrating the timeline seamlessly, she demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism.
What truly set her apart was her unwavering dedication to exceeding her clients' expectations. She anticipated their needs before they even arose, allowing the bride and groom to fully immerse themselves in their special day without a single worry. Witnessing her commitment to ensuring their happiness was truly inspiring, and it was evident that she poured her heart and soul into every aspect of her work.
Thanks to her exceptional efforts, the bride and groom were able to cherish every moment of their wedding day without the stress of managing details or vendors. Collaborating with such a talented wedding planner was an absolute pleasure, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her an invaluable asset to the wedding industry.

Absolutely Amazing
We had an amazing experience with Rich and her entire team at Fervent Designs for our January 2023 wedding at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I met Rich at the Houston Bridal Expo in January of 2022 and immediately knew I was in good hands. She had experience working with our unique venue and was prepared to help from our first consultation (before we even hired her)! Her meticulous attention to detail was evident in every step of the process, from invitations and vendor recommendations to multiple venue walkthroughs and personalized catering tastings, resulting in a tailor-made bespoke wedding. She came prepared to every meeting and kept us on track, ensuring every detail was considered and accounted for.
We had a near disaster when our cake vendor canceled two weeks before the date and Rich skillfully managed to solve the crisis before I even had time to stress! She tactfully handled our large and boisterous family, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there so we could focus on the joy of our wedding day and the life we are building together. I am so grateful for her ensuring our priorities were the focus - a private first meal, lively celebration, and so many little details that made our wedding feel so unique and special!
Rich's professionalism and problem-solving abilities ensured a seamless and memorable celebration. We will certainly be using Fervent Designs for all of our life milestone celebrations. We highly recommend!

Excellence Beyond Measure
It's rare that I give a perfect score to an organization, but this rating is fitting. I've been to four events, two of which Richandra and Fervent Designs was the organizer; the two that FD did not organize contained many flaws that Richandra would have easily prevented.
