Occasions & Co

I cannot recommend Occasions Events & Design enough! Blake Herrera and his assistant Frida made our wedding day the best stress-free day ever! Having Blake working behind the scenes was the best gift I gave myself and having him as the contact person for all of my other vendors took a lot off of my to do list. They did an exceptional job of setting up the decorations without my having to micro-manage every detail. Blake also worked well with my venue event planner to get us space to store the decorations after the wedding. When Frida followed me around so she could hold my glasses while we took pictures all the while handing me water to stay hydrated, I truly felt like a princess. I truly wish I could hire them to be my everyday assistant!

From the very beginning, Blake went above and beyond to make our vow renewal everything we dreamed of and more. He was organized, professional, attentive, and somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while also making us feel completely taken care of.

Planning a Vegas glam event with so many moving pieces could have easily become overwhelming, but Blake made the entire process feel effortless. He handled details behind the scenes, kept everyone on schedule, and made sure Bryan and I were able to truly enjoy our day.

What stood out most was how genuinely invested he was in making our event special. You can tell this is more than just a job to him. His passion, calm demeanor, and ability to anticipate needs made such a difference. Several guests even commented on how amazing everything flowed throughout the evening.

We are beyond grateful for everything he did to help create such an unforgettable celebration for our 10-year vow renewal. We could not have asked for a better coordinator and would recommend him again and again.

I truly could not have picked a better coordinator to do my wedding!! He took all of the crazy ideas that only made sense in my head a reality! The day of was so much smooth and easy as a very anxious bride! I never knew of any drama or problems with other vendors! His team had the sweetest compliments to the bridal party and parents, Ashley was AMAZING and worked her tail off to help in every way possible, even with the craziest of things, like entertaining my 9 month old baby!!!

Truly cannot recommend Blake and his group enough! It was the best day ❤️

Are you still debating whether or not you need/want to hire a wedding coordinator? Well, allow me to paint a picture that may help you make your decision. It's true when they say that something will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day. It happens! It's a huge undertaking with lots of moving parts and lots of people involved and it's easy for something big or small to slip through the cracks. But would you rather be the bride frantically rushing to figure out who to send to the store to find a suit because the best man's brother accidentally brought the wrong suit that was a completely different color than the groom and groomsmen... or be the bride who is happily getting ready in the other room, none-the-wiser, and doesn't even know that this misstep happened, was entirely avoided, and flawlessly resolved to the point that you couldn't even tell a difference between the suits until after you and your new husband have said your "I-do's" and the ceremony has already happened? Because this was a huge thing that actually happened during the morning of mine and my husband's wedding day. Blake, Frida, and everyone on the team that had a helping hand in the day were the ones there to swoop in and make sure that even with this, everything still ran SEAMLESSLY, and I, the bride, hadn't a worry in the world! Without them? I can't imagine the panic I might have felt.

Day-of aside, leading up to the day, my now husband and I worked closely with Blake and left every meeting with smiles on our faces and weights lifted off our shoulders. Blake is a true professional who excels at his craft with care, kindness, attention to detail, and an uncanny ability to see and execute the vision you have for your day.

As many others have stated in other similar reviews already, just as he did with everyone, Blake answered all questions thoroughly and in a timely manner, he was the organization my chaotic bride brain needed, he was understanding of concerns and quelled the fears with actionable plans and comforting words, and he and his team truly went above and beyond anything I could have expected.

On the day, Frida was by our side and saw to our every need sometimes even before we knew we had a need! She was a constant, comforting presence, guiding us through the day and ensuring things ran smoothly according to the timeline that we had put together with Blake. Occasions & Co. were the support system that we knew we wanted from the very first interaction, and we couldn’t be happier having worked with them. They did everything and more with smiles and grace. You will not regret hiring Blake and his team!!

Oh my gosh where do I even start?! Blake and his team are AMAZING!! I had an idea of what I wanted and needed someone to help make my dream come true and Blake did that and so much more. I didn't even know there was a mistake with the catering until later and it had all been handled by Blake and his team. I was so grateful for them and all they did in handling everything. They were always so lovely, so professional, and made sure my wedding was exactly what I wanted. I've always heard that weddings cost a lot and to not get a planner to save money, but if I had to do it again I would hire Blake and his team over and over again. They are worth it.

I can't say enough about Blake and Frida! We hired them for a day of coordination. And from start to finish, they were extremely professional, communicative, and really helped take the stress off of me as mother of the bride and my daughter... I would definitely recommend them and would use them again, this time I would hire them for full coordination from start to finish!!

I could not - and would not - have made it through my wedding without Blake and Frida. Hiring Occasions & Co. as my day-of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions I made for our wedding.

From the start, Blake went above and beyond. He checked in regularly, answered every question I had, and made sure every detail was in order leading up to the big day. Every email was answered promptly, every change I made was met with positivity, and I always felt like he was just a call or message away. He created a perfect day-of timeline and coordinated seamlessly with every single vendor. The moment Blake took over communication, I felt an instant wave of relief.

And then there’s Frida - my GIRL. From the moment she arrived at the venue until we drove away in our getaway car, she was right by my side, making sure everything ran flawlessly. Somehow, she managed to be everywhere at once - setting up, coordinating with vendors, troubleshooting, and yet still making me feel like I was her only priority. My husband and I always had a drink in hand, our needs were anticipated before we even voiced them, and everything around us came together effortlessly. When a couple of vendors I had booked separately dropped the ball, Frida handled it with grace and professionalism, making sure everything stayed on track. She was a dream to work with, and I truly owe so much of our perfect day to her.

If you’re reading this, do yourself a favor and hire Occasions & Co. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for - and more - because of them. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat for any future event. If I could go back in time, the only thing I’d do differently would be to hire them for full-service planning from the start! ❤️

Our daughter had the most beautiful wedding, and we could not have done it without Blake and the team at Occasions & Co. They were wonderful as our consultants, florist, day-of coordinator, and all-around support system! From the minute we started working with Blake, the “stress” of a big wedding ceased to be an issue for me and my daughter. His preferred vendors were fantastic, and we used his videographer Chevy (incredible), his DJ (Chris Brown), his transportation recommendation (AJL), and the fabulous hair and make-up team (Grand Slam Glam).
The team at Occasions had helped plan every detail (the timeline was a lifesaver) and Blake had told me repeatedly that there was nothing for me to worry about that day – they had us. And he was right! I loved every minute of the day with my daughter and feel so lucky that this wonderful team helped us give Molly the wedding of her dreams! I can’t recommend Occasions & Co. highly enough and have told several of her bridesmaids from the wedding when they asked who the best in the business is – they make dreams come true!

We hired Occasions Events & Design as our month-of wedding coordinator, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment Blake stepped in, he brought a sense of calm, organization, and care that allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding day.

He didn’t just execute the timeline perfectly, he went above and beyond in every possible way. Whether it was handling last-minute changes, communicating with vendors, or making sure we had everything we needed (often before we even realized we needed it), he was always ten steps ahead.

His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness made such a difference, not just to us, but to our families and bridal party too. So many of our guests commented on how seamless everything felt, and that’s 100% thanks to them.

We are endlessly grateful and would recommend Blake and his team without hesitation to any couple looking for someone they can trust completely with one of the most important days of their life.

To say they took care of us for our wedding is an understatement! Blake and the Occasions DFW team went above and beyond to make our wedding such a spectacular day! They do the most - first ones there, last to leave, timeline planning, seating chart, responding quickly to all my questions, unlimited phone calls, coordinating all the vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding so I could have less stress, and making my vision come to life. I had absolutely nothing to be stressed about on the day of the wedding! Also, Blake made sure to take care of us during the entire day and night, making sure we had drinks at all times and moved around the schedule as necessary. I can assure you that Occasions is one of the greatest decisions we made for the wedding. Such a great team and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a coordinator for their wedding!
