My wedding was always a day I dreamt of and looked forward to with my family, especially my mom. Of course we wanted it to be fabulous but even more so a meaningful, genuine and a god centered occasion. When considering wedding planners we looked for someone that was fun and grounded so they could bring to life that type of occasion. During the pandemic we met with Katherine, and almost instantly could tell she would not be simply a planner but treat us like family. Evenmoreso you could tell she was more than qualified for the job. She managed our expectations, brought to life dreams and ensured all was taken care of… even when we thought a wedding may not happen or masks would be required. Looking back I can tell you that my wedding would not have been so meaningful or memorable without the Sweet August Events team. Their connections and reputation across the industry are unparalleled. They don’t just want to create an impression but a lasting memory for all. At the end of the day in an industry where there’s a lot of wannabes Katherine & SWA are the real deal. My only complaint is that it all flew by too fast and we aren’t still swapping phone calls & texts about wedding details.

I hired SAE (Event Management package so 45 days out + day-of) for our Feb '22 wedding and worked with Danielle who we absolutely LOVED. She single-handedly kept me out of the looney bin in the last few weeks leading up to the wedding and made our event totally seamless. She went on a wild goose chase for this random table I was obsessed with (and found it!), had a great sense of humor during our venue walkthroughs and Zoom calls (I lived in Dallas but wedding was in San Antonio), and helped me tie up all the loose ends that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. She always made me feel like I was the priority and made sure I wasn't compromising my vision of the day just because something might be easier for vendors, etc., and I was able to relax on the day without a second-guess that she had everything under control. My mother-in-law still talks about how much she loved her :) Thank you, Danielle, for being genuine and fun and wonderful at your job!!

Amber was truly one of the most amazing wedding planners I’ve ever worked with. I have assisted her on multiple weddings and her ability to task organize, adapt to any situation, stay positive, and execute such beautiful work goes truly unmatched. As I am new to the industry, She went out of her way to ensure I new exactly what to do and when to do it. All brides, families, vendors, and venue owners are always full of joy when working with her. Amber is a great asset to Sweet August and they have done an awesome job letting her grow in the industry. Any bride that chooses her will have such a smooth and great experience. They always go above and beyond!

Our wedding planning journey literally began with me proposing to my now wife during the spring break before all heck broke loose. Katherine began helping with our wedding planning at the same time that she was having to reschedule, or in some cases replan other weddings. This was difficult for us to understand at first, but I assure you once the process got further along and our dates were priorities, she worked her tail off to ensure we were happy and taken care of. Her venders and colleagues were all tremendous and it made it abundantly clear that good character builds good company. On the day of the wedding she was strong and capable which also helped her to be a calming presence both pre ceremony and into the evening. For anyone on the fence about the value of her assistance, I assure you it was well worth the piece of mind throughout. And guys, I have to admit, I very frugal, but dang was this the most elegant looking event I’ve ever been apart of. Katherine knocked it out of the park with the décor. I felt like a Rockefeller. Thank you Katherine, for everything.

I don’t even know where to begin other than saying that KATHERINE IS THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER IN THE WORLD!! I got engaged in late December 2016 while living in Chicago and booked a wedding date for September 2017 in Gruene, TX. The idea of planning a destination wedding in under a year had me stressed but Katherine completely soothed my fears! Even from the first time I spoke with her on the phone, I knew she was a professional. Everyone kept asking me throughout the planning process if I was stressed and my answer was ALWAYS no because I knew Katherine had everything under control! Even the weeks right before the wedding I was stress-free! I gave Katherine my vision and she delivered 100%; she knew things I would like before I did. She knows all the best vendors and made the process so enjoyable and exciting for my fiancé and I. For instance, she arranged meetings with many of our vendors when we were visiting TX; so helpful!! So many of our guests said everything was absolutely perfect and gorgeous and it’s all thanks to her! On top of planning everything, she also did all of our flowers and they were BEAUTIFUL! I had an idea of what I wanted but let her take the wheel. I didn’t know exactly what the bouquets would look like but they were seriously exactly what I had wanted! She is SO GOOD at planning weddings and I can’t imagine my wedding without her! She is the sweetest, positive, and most creative person!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Sweet August Events were my day planners for my wedding on August 5, 2017 at Kendall Plantation and they were INCREDIBLE! They prepared a timeline, set up all of my decor, and coordinated with every single vendor. They came to my rehearsal AND ceremony (even though the ceremony was 25 minutes from the reception) and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of my wedding. They constantly kept asking me and my husband if we needed anything and were bringing us water and our favorite alcoholic beverages the entire night. Even though I didn't use them as my full time planner, if you just take a look at any of their social media accounts you can see how INSANELY talented they are at wedding planning - their style is elegant yet eclectic and is amazing! Janell and Katherine (the owner) were nothing short of amazing for my big day and I highly recommend using Sweet August Events for your wedding or event!

I was referred to Sweet August Events by a friend of mine when thinking about hiring a wedding planner. I wasn't 100% sure I wanted a planner but after meeting with Kathryn and Deidra I knew they were the team we needed for our wedding! Deidra was the head coordinator for our wedding and let me just tell you...She was AAAAMAZING to work with. She was so patient, sweet and informative when it came to choosing a theme, vendors and every the little detail we made to make our wedding a dream come true.

We chose the 45 day out package. I was a little hesitent at first when we first signed the contract, but Deidra was very helpful between the day we signed and the 45 day mark. She provided great vendor list and information when we requested it. But let me tell you, when that 45 day mark hit, Deidra was on a roll! She was on top of every detail big and small, vendor communication and every follow up possible. She was so detailed and organized which was a huge plus when we met. She even had ALL of my vendors at our venue walk through, which was helpful for everyone to know what to expect the day of.

Another plus was that Deidra was assisted the day of our wedding by Molly who was sweet has could be and very helpful the whole night!

Long story short...I would highly recommend SAE! Their whole team has great style, ideas, are organized and most importantly very sweet! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing, it truly was everything we wanted plus more!! Definitely request Deidra if you can :)

Katherine and her team were amazing and made our magical evening the best!! She is energetic, super organized, efficient, calm, and always ready for anything! We are so grateful for her service and she made our event one to remember! Her husband Chris, did our videography as well, and he was incredible. The two of them are such a dynamic team and got the job done but made it fun and stress free! We highly recommend Sweet August Events and Squinted Cinema!

Deidra did an excellent job as our "month of" coordinator. She is very professional with a sweet and friendly personality. It's important to connect on a personal level with your coordinator as she will conduct the entire event from start to finish and she'll be the contact point for all the other vendors during the final weeks approaching the event date. Deidra was available for several meetings and went on a site visit to the Paniolo Ranch with my daughter and I and our florist to work out logistics for the ceremony and reception. She was always quick to respond to phone calls, texts, and emails. She is also exceptionally talented at calligraphy as well, and did a beautiful job on several chalkboards for us. Her calm demeanor was an added plus, especially on the day of the wedding! You will not be disappointed if you choose Deidra to coordinate/plan your wedding! Thank you, Deidra, for helping to make my daughter's wedding a night to remember!

There's so much to say about Katherine and her team. As I began the wedding process, I was new to San Antonio and did not know how to navigate the planning process. That's when SAE stepped in and made all my dreams come true. Their attention to detail, experience and relationships with fabulous vendors are great! But their passion for family, love for what they do, and their sincerity makes them second to none. Throughout the process, my fiancé and I felt they were not only committing to making our wedding a success, but also helping us to build a strong foundation for a marriage. We were so pleased with their work! They do not disappoint!
