DFW provided the lighting design for our wedding - and it was so cool! Kaite coordinated with our planner to bring the vision to life. The lighting added a romantic feel to the whole night. It was so beautiful. Her team is so thorough - highly recommend!

INVALUABLE! We hired Heart & Dash for our wedding as Day of Coordinator.. around 6 months out we met and went over all the things I needed to have done and by which time. She gave us some very helpful checklists and forms to fill out with details of our wedding day. It was insanely easy to work with Sarah leading up to the wedding. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID so we moved the date a year out and were actually Sarah's first wedding back post-COVID! She obviously has amazing muscle memory OR just a clear dedication to giving the B&G the easiest/best day of their lives. On my wedding day I literally did not have to think of a thing. Her and her assistant, Precious, were there every step of the way anticipating my every need (including but not limited to; lipgloss reapplying, snacks, drinks, jacket, fixing my hair... the list goes on!). Needless to say the day went off without a hitch and it was by far the best day of my life! This team is incredible at what they do and I HIGHLY recommend EVERY SINGLE BRIDE to AT LEAST have a coordinator!

As a type-A human who struggles with trusting the handoff, and who decided to get married during a global pandemic in less than 10 months, I find it very hard to come up with the words to describe the level of gratitude and awe I have for Meghan and the HOC team. My (now) husband and I booked an open venue because of the location and my excitement of being able to completely transform the venue into our custom space quickly overwhelmed me. It seemed completely impossible to put together a team of vendors and design a space to create the wedding of our dreams. Through word of mouth (and good old instagram) we came across HOC and immediately knew this was the team we wanted. Somehow, the wedding Gods were looking upon us and HOC was available our weekend. From the start, it was clear we were in great hands. Somehow, Meghan was able to weed through all of the crazy thoughts, likes, dislikes, must haves, and everything in between we discussed and brought us a vision board that surpassed our wildest expectations. What could have very well had been a stressful time, instead, was a super exciting time. The team's vision and ability to accommodate our wants and needs, while still being conscious of an ever changing budget, is a testament to their care, attention to detail, creativity, and passion to make every event perfect. For our wedding, HOC and their team were unable to get access to our venue until the day of our wedding because there had been a wedding there the evening before. Most people would not have been able to accomplish a fraction of the transformation they did in a mere few hours and yet by the time guests were arriving our space had been completely transformed. Six months later and I still am speechless. I wish we had invited people to see the space before the wedding so they could truly appreciate everything Meghan and the HOC team did. Custom drapery and greenery were hung, intricate florals were arranged, an entire lounge area was built, even a kid space enjoyed by those young and old appeared seemingly out of nowhere! And yet amongst all of these huge moments were small details that made it clear this was OUR wedding to celebrate OUR day and OUR relationship. When it comes to planning a wedding and budget, yes, HOC is definitely not for the those trying to stretch every single dollar. However, you get what you paid for and then some. Design aside, Meghan referred us to multiple vendors, who, truth be told, and in my opinion, were only willing to accommodate us because of their relationship with HOC. For any covid bride, or really any bride who wants the best of the best knows, it can get quite competitive trying to get the vendor of your choice. Working with a team so well know and respected in the industry is another perk of working with HOC. Meghan and her team also provided us with our day of support. Multiple people commented on how calm I was day of and it was all because Meghan and her team were taking such good care of us. There was not a single want or need or request that they were unable to help us with, all while keeping us (and our dogs) well fed and hydrated. It was truly the greatest gift to be able to have the freedom to actually enjoy our wedding. Weddings have changed and timelines are totally different given the past 2 years and how busy vendors are, but one thing you can depend on is that HOC gets the job done on time and beyond your expectations. Thank you SO much to Meghan and everyone at House of Catherine. It was our absolute pleasure and honor to have been able to celebrate our special day with you all by our side, supporting us every step of the way!!

We hired Shipley in the eleventh hour for our daughters wedding 10/31/20. We had to switch 6 weeks prior to a tented venue at Rivers Edge at Pen Ryn. It is a basic commercial tent with plastic inside walls separating cocktail and reception space. You can’t imagine how Gene and his team totally transformed the venue space. Ceiling, band stage area and room separations. It looked AMAZING!! And on such short notice and with a difficult venue to work with, they did an awesome job! Pam and Tammi were a great help in getting things together with quotes, photos, etc. Very professional, courteous and easy to work with. Would highly recommend them for your wedding needs. Great folks personally also which is an added bonus! Exceeded our expectations of improving the venue space.
