Shaady Sent on 02/17/2026A Seamless, Culturally-Rich Celebration with 3 of Cups
Choosing 3 of Cups for our wedding at the Fairmont Austin was easily the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. As a couple with a diverse background, it was incredibly important to us that our personal identities were honored. From our very first meeting, Jessica and the 3 of Cups team met us exactly where we were. They are the perfect blend of organized and efficient, and their collaborative planning meetings were the most beneficial part of the entire experience. They didn't just help us find vendors that matched our personal style; Jessica acted as a true partner who navigated venue specifics and all the details that caused some nervousness from icy Austin weather to ensuring guests parked at the hotel seamlessly. She has an awesome ability to connect with people on a personal level while maintaining a top-tier level of organization that kept us calm and on track. The entire 3 of Cups team is top notch especially when it comes to navigating the unexpected. A perfect example of this was when last-minute weather challenges meant our bagpiper was unable to make it downtown and perform. Jessica and George (3 of Cups DJ) pivoted instantly, securing classic Scottish music to ensure that part of our heritage was still beautifully represented. On the day of the wedding, Katrina on the team was also fantastic. She handled coordination elements like ensuring all guests had their valet tickets so seamlessly that we didn't have to think about a thing. Hands down the favorite part of the night was the atmosphere on the dance floor. If you are booking their DJ services, George is phenomenal. He took awesome direction and read the room perfectly, expertly looping pop music into Persian pop to accommodate our diverse group of attendees. He kept the energy high and the transition between genres felt completely natural. We are beyond thankful to the 3 of Cups team for making our wedding day at the Fairmont such a memorable experience. We cannot recommend them enough to any couple looking for a team that is professional, personable, and truly experts at what they do. -

Loved every moment!
Hiring 3 of Cups — Jessica, Katrina, and their team — was the best money we spent on our wedding. Brian and I were married on 10/25/25 at Springdale Station, and we live in Oregon, so planning from afar felt daunting. 3 of Cups made everything easy: organized, fun, and effortlessly cool. They handled the nitty‑gritty while we got to make the fun decisions.
We’re laid‑back and not great with deadlines, and Jessica and the team never added stress or made us feel bad when we missed something. They were realistic about vendors and budgets, and their recommendations were excellent. We used their in‑house florist, DJ, and photographer — and loved them all.
Kay, the florist, made all my flower dreams come true even though I struggled to describe what I wanted; everything she created was beautiful and interesting. George, the DJ, played our hits and brought nonstop energy. Lee, the photographer, arrived early, offered to stay late, and fit right in with the group. We haven’t received our photos yet, but I already know Lee will make us look way cooler than we actually are.
We could not recommend 3 of Cups more. Thank you, Jessica, Katrina, and team — you made our day perfect. -

By far the best decision my husband and I made was picking Jessica and her team to help plan our big day!! We can’t recommend their team enough. From the very beginning, we were met with enthusiasm and guiding expertise that helped us make all the crucial decisions leading into our wedding day. We got married at the LBJ wildflower center and it was so amazing to have a planner who knew the ins and outs of our venue and knew how to talk us through how to make our dreams come true in this space. It is an overwhelming world out there in wedding planning but every planning call meeting eased our worries and always left us feeling less stressed. We had specific asks of our vendors and 3 of Cups helped us find the perfect vendor team, including finding our DJ! All of our vendors matched our personality, our vibe and helped delivered the most PERFECT day and night! If anything went wrong or had hiccups, I didn’t notice because they handled that day perfectly, diligently and professionally. We also had a huge family loss that happened just days before and Jessica and her team showered us and our loved ones with empathy, kindness and love. Jessica and her team are so much more than wedding planners, they become invested in you and your story. They are so personable and truly grow to caring about you and your family, and that care translate across the board in everything they touch. Our favorite part of the wedding was our ceremony, it was so perfectly curated and planned and it was only possible through their creative problem solving and expertise. We love Jessica, Katrina, Jordan and the whole team so much!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Best investment by far! -

Natalie Sent on 10/24/2024Hiring 3 of Cups is a must!
I was initially hesitant about hiring coordination for our wedding and am now so so thankful we did. Working with Jessica and her team could not have been more helpful or necessary!! Having a POC throughout the planning process to help with the details (and even knowing what details we need to consider are) in addition to day of coordination made the planning process so much easier. The day of the wedding Jessica was there with two of her assistants, who helped with everything from décor set-up, ceremony details, timing of the event, and everything in between. Overall, the wedding went so smoothly and exceeded our expectations and all credit goes to Jessica and her team! -

Jessica and her team were absolutely essential in helping us plan our wedding. We were working with a tricky venue and planning from out of state...there was no way we could have done it without her. Every meeting we had was meticulously planned ahead of time to maximize efficiency and ensure we got what we needed. On top of that, Jessica was just a super fun and great person to work with. She made sure that on the day of, all we had to do was enjoy and make some memories. Definitely recommend!! -

Ana C. Sent on 10/10/2022Super knowledgeable, organized, effective, and fun team!!
We had an amazing experience with Jessica and her team at 3 of Cups as our day-of coordinators! When my husband and I first got engaged, we set out to find a day-of coordinator who could also help us make sure that we’d thought everything through in the late stages of wedding planning. 3 of Cups and their 3⁄4 Cup Package was a great fit for what we were looking for. Right off the bat, Jessica sent us resources for planning and set up a collaborative Google Sheet that helped guide our planning, which was super helpful. Our meetings with her were really efficient: we felt like we always had enough time to go through our list of questions, as well as Jessica’s list of reminders, if she had any. It was also extremely helpful to do a venue walkthrough with Jessica. She helped us visualize and run through the wedding day timeline, which got us thinking about any details or loose ends we had missed.
Thanks to 3 of Cups’ approach and all the level of detail, the wedding day went so smoothly! We had Jessica as our Lead Day-Of Coordinator and Shannon as our Assistant Coordinator. They were AWESOME. They made us feel so at ease all day and night. We honestly wouldn’t be able to tell you if anything went wrong that day, because if it did, we never noticed it… Jessica and Shannon were right on point. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend 3 of Cups because of how thorough, organized, and experienced Jessica and her team are.
Relatedly, we also went with 3 of Cups for our Sound and Equipment services, which was an absolutely excellent decision. George was amazing as our DJ/Sound Engineer -- he brought and setup all the equipment he needed, and he did an awesome job picking songs out of the playlists we made based on party vibes.
Just all in all, 3 of Cups absolutely killed it, and we would recommend them in a heartbeat! -

Lillian Sent on 04/21/2022She knows what she's doing!
Jessica and her 3 of Cups Team were coordinators for our wedding at Umlauf Sculpture Garden in Austin, TX on 4.2.22. We booked Jessica for day-of coordination and 6 planning hours, and it was the best $ we've ever spent. Umlauf poses particular challenges in that the vendors can't set up until 4pm, and there is an amplified noise cut off at 10pm. Jessica and her team helped plan and execute an swift timeline that allowed us to cruise through photos, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and cake cutting so that we could have ample time dancing and just enjoying the evening. Any logistical snags that occurred were not evident to me :). She also helped us massively with event and dinner layout, templates and to-do's, and her wide-thinking of various options and scenarios. We are so appreciative that we were able to spend our wedding day enjoying the moment and dancing with friends. -

Kayla Sent on 01/09/2022Stress Free Wedding Day Thanks to Them!
Jessica, Lauren, and Dasha were incredible to work with! My husband and I hired Jessica after she was recommended to us by a friend who wished she could have hired her for her Austin wedding. I am a type A personality and my husband is the easiest going guy, albeit he comes off aloof at times. Jessica was able to help bridge the gap for us a few times over details that we probably would have spent hours debating over. We ended up purchasing 6 additional hours of planning time leading up to our wedding day and it was the perfect amount of time in my opinion. Jessica was so helpful in getting our thoughts organized and laying out the timeline for our wedding day in excruciating detail (and by excruciating I mean in a way that made my type A heart sing!). I should also mention that nothing fazes Jessica and she is as cool as a cucumber like my husband. Lauren our DOC, and Dasha her assistant were incredible. They made sure everything ran smoothly and were so thoughtful and wonderful throughout the night. Lauren even got down on the floor and helped bustle my disaster of a french bustle that was of course just being very difficult after couple's photos. It was just a really wonderful experience overall, and I cannot recommend their services enough! -

Jessica was great to work with and was so helpful in navigating the planning process. In the great reshuffling of weddings due to the pandemic, we also worked with Lauren and the transition between planners felt seamless and things on the day of our wedding went so smoothly. Jessica and Lauren were also super affirming of non-traditional partnerships and marriages, which was extremely important to us. -

Melissa Sent on 10/10/2021Coordination saved this overwhelmed bride
I had no idea where to even start for planning my wedding especially since we were having a six month engagement. Jessica of 3 Cups was my savior! I actually contacted her when we were thinking of doing a different venue, and she helped us pick a better one. I loved the flexible options for the amount of coordination you want, and her detailed checklists helped me know what all needed to be done. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement, she recommended the perfect makeup artist, helped us with rentals and even arranged for her husband to be our last minute audio/music. Jessica is awesome and I'm glad I chose her company to ensure my wedding day was perfect. -

Kathleen Sent on 10/06/2021Made the week and day of so easy!
Jessica was amazing! She was so on top of all the details, which made planning a wedding from 1500 miles away so much easier. Her collaborative google doc made organization and communication easy, and her packages were flexible for when we needed additional planning time at the end. Jessica knew a ton of vendors, what vendors would be able to offer and what we would need, how things would work the day of, etc. We felt so at ease the week of the wedding knowing all the prep and communication that went into everything, and we got to enjoy the time leading up to the wedding. Our day of coordinator Sara was super on top of things, and we got to spend the whole wedding with our guests having fun! -

Chelsey Sent on 07/26/2021Incredible experience! Best decision for our wedding.
Jessica, the 3 of Cups owner, worked with my wife and I to plan and coordinate our wedding day and I cannot emphasize enough how valuable her help was. We independently booked most of our vendors prior to reaching out to 3 of Cups. They had the perfect package for the stage we were in and supported us through the remaining steps and details. So many of the highlights of our day came from Jessica's suggestions that we never would have thought of. The coordination on the day of was seamless and we truly felt cared for by the team. We cannot recommend enough! -

Melina Sent on 07/17/20213ofCups are THE BEST wedding planners!
My husband and I got married in Austin at Mercury Hall this past February. We hired 3ofCups as our day-of wedding planners and also utilized their packages for videography, photography, and decor. Our venue recommended them and I cannot express how incredible they all were and how thankful we are for their planning, their perfection, and their love throughout the entire process.
2021 has been a tough year with the pandemic and then Austin's snowpocalypse, which occurred 2 weeks before our wedding. Throughout all of the challenges, Jessica and Lee stayed positive and optimistic about our wedding day, ensuring us the day would be perfect no matter what life throws at us.
So you know a little about me (in case you can relate), I am, myself, a natural planner and really wanted to do most of the planning leading up to the day. Jessica (my day-of planner) provided me with a 3ofCups package where I payed less to be my own planner leading up to the day. At which point Jessica and her assistant took over. Jessica and I had three 1.5 hour long meetings before the wedding day where we checked in with each other and went over everything. Jessica also provided me with a super organized Google Sheet where we kept each other updated on the plans. Overall, everything leading up to the wedding was very organized.
On the wedding day, I gave Jessica and Lee the reins and sat back and enjoyed my wedding day. I had so much trust for the 3ofCups crew; handing them the reins was easy.
Regarding photography, videography, florals, and decor - The photos and the videos were the most beautiful (grab the tissues) wedding photos/videos any of us have ever seen. The florals and the decor were everything I wanted. My wedding was a fairytale.
I recommend 3ofCups for everyone - the folks that are super organized and want to plan, and the folks that want someone else to do it all. 3ofCups has all kinds of packages and they really listen to you from Day 1 to understand how involved you want to be.
Thank you so much to our 3ofCups crew - Jessica, Lee, Jose, Coley. You made our wedding day absolutely perfect. -

Kate Sent on 06/29/2021Great planning and day of coordination!
Jessica is amazing! We hit it off right off the bat. The planning meetings we had were great for us to get a game plan going and get everything we needed together before the wedding. We had initially decided to get married in April 2020, but then Covid hit and everything changed. We postponed our wedding, and then postponed again to May 2021 and Jessica couldn't have been more understanding and accommodating throughout it all. I was an emotional wreck, but Jessica's energy and positive attitude was so great. She's an angel! We had planned for an outdoor wedding and the forecast for the day was looking bleak, but Jessica told us not to worry about it and said we could wait to change the layout until a few hours before. I was SO GLAD because literally hours before the ceremony it cleared up and we had the wedding that we had hoped for! It was perfect! And everything went seamlessly thanks to Jessica! -

Ashley Sent on 06/10/2021Loved Working with 3 of Cups!
If you’re questioning if you should hire a wedding planner…the answer is YES! As a type-A person, I was prepared to do most of the planning solo, until I started actually planning! Hiring Jessica and the 3 of Cups team saved me so much time, stress and helped me bring my vision to life. Also, I loved how they were mindful of my desired level of involvement and budget in selecting the best package.
Since we aren’t located in TX, having a planner with so many connections and insight into the Austin wedding sense legit saved me hours of online research! I appreciated how flexible Jessica was in guiding us through the process without totally taking over. Her style allowed us to think outside the box and not get too caught up in the details and anxiety. Having the 3 of Cups allowed us to enjoy the process of being engaged, not just focus on the wedding!
During our wedding weekend, I loved how Jessica and the team made sure we got to enjoy all the energy we put into the planning process. My husband and I were able to relax (get drunk) and not worry about A THING! Jessica put our fires we didn’t even know existed while making sure we felt like rockstars! -

I literally couldn't have planned my wedding without Jessica's help. She helped me plan my big day even if I lived 3 hours away from the location. 3 of Cups kept me on track, helped me pick vendors and all the big stressors of a wedding day. I'd highly recommend to anyone in the Austin area planning a wedding, regardless of your organization skills! -

Marianne Sent on 05/03/2020Getting married? You need 3 of Cups!
My husband and I were married in April of 2019 at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. When we were looking for a coordinator, we knew that the main challenges we faced with our wedding planning process were 1. We don’t live in Texas and 2. Our venue has a limited set-up window day-of. In addition to having experience with weddings at our venue, it was also important to us that our coordinator be creative, open-minded and detail-oriented. My husband and I are both trained as architects and we treated wedding planning like a design project. The most successful projects are the ones where your consultants / vendors are like-minded collaborators rather than just “hired guns” and 3 of Cups was the perfect match for us in this respect.
Jessica gave us room to be creative while helping us set realistic expectations for our ideas. She came up with the idea to do a tortilla toss for our exit since we had tacos at our dinner reception, which everyone loved! We also utilized 3 of Cups Floral + Design services, who completely knocked it out of the park with their gorgeous arrangements (probably still my favorite aspect of our wedding - shoutout to Coley who did all this while pregnant with TWINS). We used the 3 of Cups sound engineer and then added on a professional DJ for the dancing, an option which helped save us some cash and allowed us to be in control of our dinner and cocktail hour music.
Jessica’s flexible tiered packages worked out great for us and she was always conscious of our budget. Her collaborative remote planning sessions were incredibly efficient and FUN! Having a shared Google Doc was perfect for keeping everyone connected and accountable even from afar. I always breathed a sign of relief whenever we hung up the phone at the end of a session because I knew we were in good hands. Day of, Jessica had all the vendors in position at the starting line to set up in the allotted time. I really appreciated that she made sure my husband and I had a moment to ourselves to be alone and stuff our faces with QUESO (did you know you need queso at your wedding? You do.) The 3 of Cups team handled all of our details beautifully, following our obsessive architectural diagrams and problem-solved on the spot gracefully. Jessica was also wonderful with all our family - my dad to this day talks about how great she is whenever we talk about wedding day memories. She is an absolute joy to work with and I would recommend 3 of Cups to everyone. -

Amanda Sent on 04/16/2020Absolutely loved working with Jessica
My fiancé and I were planning to have our wedding in May 2020. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we ended up having to cancel and will now be having an elopement instead. However, I still wanted to write a review for Jessica because she was absolutely amazing during the planning process and I know she would have given us the most beautiful wedding!
We were planning a small, family-only gathering, so I was initially on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, especially since I have prior experience in event planning. But I knew right after meeting Jessica at our first consultation that it was the absolute right decision and that she was a perfect fit for us. She is so personable and easy to talk to, and was so supportive of our plans and ideas. I loved that she offered an hourly package that was flexible and would let me to do most of the up-front work, while she would be in charge on the day of the wedding, taking the pressure off of me. It was the perfect option for us. Our first meeting and then follow-up phone calls and venue meeting were so much fun and so productive! I was so amazed at how quickly she took my jumbled ideas and put them together into a beautiful vision. I couldn’t wait to see how it would all come together on the day of our wedding.
Making the decision to cancel our wedding was a hard one, but it is the right decision for us to get married on our planned wedding day. I will be taking the inspiration and ideas that Jessica gave me to add some small touches to my elopement that will make it very special and memorable. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to any bride who is looking for a wedding planner. She will listen to your ideas and then turn it into something so magical! I hope to work with her in some capacity in the future. Thank you, Jessica! -

LOVE 3 of Cups!
My husband Michael and I got married in October 2019 at the Sanctuary. We wanted everything about our wedding to feel personal, like a representation of us and our love. On top of that, we wanted the process to be fun and enjoyable. And lastly, we really wanted to feel like we were getting the biggest bang for our buck. I feel like we accomplished all of these things and so much more! 3 of Cups was instrumental in ensuring that we chose vendors that provided high quality services at affordable prices -- from the food, to the DJ, to the rentals, to the lighting, we truly had the best quality without breaking the bank. Jess from 3 of Cups also did a wonderful job guiding us through the planning process and making sure we thought about all of the little details. On the day of the wedding, she was a breath of fresh air amidst the inevitable nerves. Jess is fun, easygoing, stylish, personable, and organized. She has become one of our closest friends. We absolutely loved our wedding day and wouldn't have changed a thing. I can't recommend the 3 of Cups team more! -

Olga Sent on 02/26/2020The most wonderful experience!
My husband I got married this past December at the Wild Onion Ranch in Austin (a gorgeous venue, for those still on the hunt for the right place!) and I just cannot imagine how we could have pulled off such a fun and relaxed celebration without Jessica. We also loved Ash, her assistant. The day-of, they were both incredibly kind and everything ran super smoothly. Jessica's husband, George, is also just wonderful, and he was our sound designer through the whole evening.
We chose the "1 of Cups" package, which included 6 hours of meeting time with Jessica before the actual event -- this is where we really discussed our vision and Jessica helped us put all the pieces together, from connecting us with vendors she thought would match our style (like Stephanie Rogers Photograpahy -

AMAZE! Highly Recommend!
I can't say enough about the beauty Coley and her team created for our wedding -- flowers/greenery and star installation! We were seriously blown away, and everything we hoped for! She was super friendly, flexible and had some great ideas. We'd definitely recommend Coley for any of your floral/design wedding needs! -

Mark Sent on 01/20/2020Our Wedding Rocked!!
Lauren and I got married this past November and were planning on having a lot of guests from out of town. We wanted our wedding to be a unique and very “Austin” experience for those spending the time, effort, and money to travel to this special event. 3 of Cups was recommended by a friend and, looking back, we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Jessica was fantastic at making sense of all our chaotic and sometimes crazy ideas in our initial meetings. We were given a Google planning document that had everything we needed to organize everything from the guest list to the vendors. And speaking of vendors, I can’t emphasize enough how valuable 3 of Cups was in this department. In addition to the wedding itself, we planned a separate welcome party the night before. Although this wasn’t really part of the deal, Jessica’s suggestions for catering companies proved to be a perfect fit. 3 of Cups is very well-connected in the Austin scene and has a plethora of excellent choices for vendors. Her guidance and planning were absolutely crucial to the success of the entire weekend. We could not have done It without her!
We chose Star Hill Ranch as our venue and couldn’t be happier with that choice. The owner, Matt Wooley was more than helpful and ended up saving us a good amount of money which allowed us to put more into areas that we felt were important. Between 3 of Cups and the staff at Star Hill Ranch, we felt confident that we were well taken care of and were going to have a wonderful weekend.
We had initially decided to use Star Hill’s on-site coordinator for the “day of” events but later decided to have 3 of Cups there too. However, by then Jessica was already booked elsewhere. Luckily she was able to send Sioux, one of the 3 of Cups staff members in her stead. Sioux did a fantastic job making sure everything went perfect during the wedding and reception. She was also very pleasant and had a really good time which showed to me her ability to coordinate a rather complex and detailed event with ease. I would HIGHLY recommend both 3 of Cups and Star Hill Ranch for your next wedding or event. Both are not only top notch professionals, they’re also just “good people”. -

Alana Sent on 01/06/20203 of Cups was amazing!
Going with 3 of Cups was one of the best decisions my husband and I made with our wedding. Jessica's organization, professionalism, and laid-back vibe instantly made us feel like we were in good hands. With both of us working in education, budget was something for us to be mindful of throughout planning. Jessica was able to point us in the direction of some amazing vendors within our price range that she had already had positive experiences working with in the past. We felt like we were so supportive and understood after all three of our (extremely productive!) pre-wedding meetings. Aside from obviously helping us with day-of details (i.e., schedule, vendors, decor), Jessica also helped put my anxiety at ease whenever I got stressed out by the wonderful world of wedding planning/drama. On our actual wedding day, my husband and I were both blown away by how smoothly everything went and how well Jessica and her assistant kept the show running. It was wild watching this insanely detailed Google doc we had created with 3 of Cups come to life. We also utilized 3 of Cups sound engineering services and it was amazing. We were able to plan our own playlists for the entire wedding, which was something that was important to me from the very beginning, and George (the sound engineer and Jessica's husband) did a great job at making everything sound seamless and sticking to our musical taste there were gaps to fill. He was also super sweet and professional, which came as no surprise after working with Jessica. Overall, we could not be happier with 3 of Cups and would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married in the Austin area. Honestly, I'm eager for any of my Austin friends to get engaged just so I can recommend 3 of Cups. -

Erin Sent on 11/19/2019the greatest gift we didn't know we needed.
5 stars!! Hiring the team at 3 of Cups was the greatest gift we didn’t know we needed. Being an overly organized & meticulous person, I believed I could manage the execution of our event with the help of a few friends and family members. Add in the unexpected (yet expected) wedding drama and we were forced to change venues a few months before our big day and one of the requirements of our new venue was that we have an official event planner or day of coordinator on-site the day of.
After reaching out to several different coordinators I instantly knew 3 of Cups would be our pick the moment I saw Jessica’s smiling face on their website. During our first meeting, I cried a lot (wedding drama) and she listened to me with compassion and immediately began offering solutions & support.
It was important to me that I had control of the design, details & overall planning of our wedding. It was an experience that I wanted to have and lessons that I wanted to learn, both the easy & the hard way. Jessica let me do my thing, right up to the point where I needed help. And she was there, again, with solutions. Most importantly, she was patient and kind with me while I struggled to find the point where I needed to ask for help.
I was given contact information for several different vendors that were a dream to work with, all of them close with the team at 3 of Cups, all of them professional, willing to accommodate our slightly non-traditional ideas & incredibly skilled at their craft.
On the day of, I stepped back and was truly given the opportunity to be present in the moment with our friends & family. I had confidence in the communication we’ve had from all of our meetings, walk throughs, the rehearsal and every detail was perfect. And when I threw a few curve balls on a whim into the timeline, Sioux & Kaitlyn went with the flow.
What was most important to us is that we felt heard, supported & that these ladies truly cared about the experience that we had. They worked HARD and it showed by how Doug & I had no care in the world other than the dance floor!

Jessica was amazing to work with. We started working with her over a year before our wedding. She provided great vendor recommendations while keeping our budget in mind. She was easy to talk to and work with. She is very laid back and knows the industry well.
When our original venue flooded and closed a month before our wedding, she worked non-stop to help us find an incredible new venue! Our wedding would not have been as much fun without Jessica. She made sure day of went seamlessly as well and kept everything running on time. She even wore an outfit in one of our wedding colors to coordinate with the event! So many people have talked about how much fun our wedding was and we couldn't have done it without Jessica! -

Vanessa Sent on 12/09/2018Best. Decision. Ever! You're in Great Hands with Jessica and her Team!
When my husband and I began the wedding planning process, we had absolutely no idea where to begin. All we knew was that we wanted our wedding to be at least a year out from our engagement and have our wedding in Austin. We live in New York, I’m from Houston, he’s from the Bay Area, but we wanted to have a central destination where all of our beloved friends and family could meet us for the celebration of the year. Our wishlist was simple: laid back, good vibes. With 3 of Cups Weddings + Events, we got that and more!
We ended up booking our photographers first during the early phases of wedding planning. They are a talented dynamic husband / wife duo that had years of experience working with tons of venues and planners in the Austin area. When we asked for recommendations for day-of- planners, Jessica Ryan from 3 of Cups came highly recommended per our style. They also provided a few others as alternatives, but when we connected with Jessica, we instantly knew she was our perfect match. From our first consultation, Jessica provided tons of recommendations for unique gems throughout Austin for our rehearsal dinner that we wouldn’t have discovered since we’re not from Austin. That was just for the rehearsal! For every detail in actually planning the wedding, we always felt like Jessica was our trusted partner and friend throughout the entire process. She was always mindful of our budget and always quick on her toes with additional suggestions. Our meetings never felt like work, they were always fun, productive, and filled with laughter. Perhaps my most grateful moment was when Jessica offered to meet with the majority of our vendors at our venue and conduct a site visit on our behalf a few months from our wedding. We always knew we were in good hands, but that alone, gave us so much comfort and confidence knowing that every plan — A, B, and C — had been carefully considered, and all we had to literally do was show up.
When it came to the day before and the actual day, that’s exactly what we did. My husband and I like to tout that we’re super chill, but when it came to rehearsing the day before and getting ready on the actual day, you can’t help but feel butterflies and stress leading up to the moment you walk down the aisle. Nonetheless, whenever Jessica walked into the room to check on us, those nerves just melted away. I remember mentioning that I forgot to pack a coat in case it was chilly the next day (we got married in the fall), and Jessica brought her stylish, fur coat for me! Those personal touches are invaluable.
For everyone planning now in the Austin area, my advice would be to NOT skip out on a planner and to book Jessica and her team. No matter how organized you are, or how many family members and friends offer to help out, the day flies by. You’ll need a professional by your side to make sure things run smoothly (and on time!) behind the scenes, and who can problem solve on your behalf so you, your partner, family and friends can truly enjoy the day. We will always cherish our day and are forever grateful to have found Jessica and gained a new friend along the way.

We had a great experience with 3 of Cups. Our wedding was at Umlauf and 3 of Cups was a preferred vendor. As a side note - strongly recommend booking your wedding planner early, ideally before anything else. A good planner will provide you with lots of great vendor options in your price range (which is what Jessica provided us.) Planning a wedding was one of the biggest and most overwhelming projects my wife and I have worked on. Jessica had the entire thing visualized from the get go and gave us options along the way. She gave us a crash course and after our second meeting we could picture the whole event playing out in our minds start to finish. Our day-of coordinators were truly excellent (shout out to Ari and Sophie!) They knew the venue well and things went off totally smoothly. I don’t think they missed or forgot a single thing. Would definitely say 3 of Cups delivered. -

If you're looking for help to run things behind the scenes on your day - recommend! We opted for the smallest package as our booked venue included a lot of things. Jessica helped keep us on track with deadlines, created a stellar detailed timeline for the day, and provided great insights during our walkthrough. You can 100% count on Jessica to give you honest feedback and advice backed by tons of experience! Audrey was our lead day-of coordinator and she is a rockstar! Kept our day moving smoothly and thought of anything extra we could possibly use. We also used 3 of Cups Sound & Lighting and highly recommend! George was an awesome DJ -- kept the party going & upbeat! Our friends & family had a blast -

The experience with 3 of Cups, particularly with Jessica, during the planning process was poor. Truly, I'm more sad than upset that I had my wedding planning experience made so stressful by 3 of Cups. I read so many reviews that were glowing, that mentioned they could let the planning team handle the details and just not stress and enjoy the lead up to the wedding. This was not my lived experience.
I felt it was extremely frustrating to work with Jessica due to her disorganization and attitude. Jessica was seldom on the same page as us, which caused unnecessary stress during the process. I asked questions during our meetings in which she would not answer them outright but make fun of me first for having asked them. Unprofessional and I also found her to just be kind of rude.
Condescension in attitude is one thing, but condescension without competence, which she also lacked, is unacceptable.
There were many frustrating instances where she would admonish us for being too nervous and to rest assured that everything would work together on the day of. However, the reason I was nervous was due to several mistakes made, the largest of which was when the 3 of Cups team emailed one of my vendors for me to change my order to something that was incorrect.
I've waited a while after my wedding to write this review, and after months of reflection, I maintain that you should avoid working with 3 of Cups. Two stars ultimately because the day of the wedding went well, not perfect since Jessica was also rude to our officiant on wedding day, but all in all I do not recommend. Book at your own risk. -

TL;DR: A heartbreaking experience. Our photographer forgot the wedding, and 3 of Cups was deeply unprofessional throughout.
We wouldn’t recommend 3 of Cups to anyone planning an event of any kind.
It’s painful to see how positive others’ experiences were when ours was the opposite. I’m only sharing this here because I couldn’t find a Google business profile for them and hope that our story helps other couples make an informed choice. This isn’t written out of bitterness — just a wish that we had seen something like this before hiring.
We were married on February 23, 2024. We waited a year to write this because it’s taken that long to process how far off course our wedding went due to this planning and coordination team. Every part of our day that involved 3 of Cups — or their recommended vendors — fell apart.
We’ve had time to reflect and want to present what happened as clearly and calmly as we can.
Why We Hired Them
We chose 3 of Cups because we booked The Sanctuary, where Jessica had previously worked as an event coordinator. We believed her familiarity with the space would be an advantage.
Before the Wedding
Every meeting revolved around one question: “Did you do the spreadsheet?” Whenever we asked for clarification — as first-time clients just trying to understand the process — we were met with visible frustration and dismissiveness.
The event timeline was quietly adjusted in a way that triggered extra “overtime” fees we only learned about shortly before the wedding.
Halfway through planning, our initial coordinator (the owner’s close friend) left the company. Our paid hours were used for Jessica to get up to speed, and we were billed for additional time.
We asked to do a final run-through during rehearsal. Jessica brushed it off as unnecessary. Her tone and attitude that night left several family members uncomfortable and surprised.
During the Wedding
Our photographer, Lee Behrend, forgot the wedding entirely. She arrived four hours late. There are no photos of me getting ready with my mother, and none of my husband with his father — moments we can never recreate. When Jessica told me, she said, “You’re such a chill bride,” which felt unbearably tone-deaf in that moment.
Family photos were rushed and disorganized, taken in harsh light. When we asked for direction, Jessica snapped, “It’s on the spreadsheet.”
Hair and makeup were scheduled excessively early, even though there were only two of us. We spent over three hours dressed and waiting.
The DJ (Jessica’s husband) did not mix or manage the music as planned. Our emails about playlists went unanswered.
The announcement of us as husband and wife happened while I was still in the bridal suite. It wasn’t redone. The music didn’t restart.
The farewell moment was missed entirely; the DJ was already packing up.
The “last call” announcement came after the bar had already closed, and I ended up passing drinks to confused guests myself.
After the Wedding
Could we have advocated more forcefully? Maybe. But when you hire professionals to ease your stress, you shouldn’t have to fight to be treated with basic care.
Jessica treated our wedding like a routine job, not a once-in-a-lifetime day. She made repeated comments about her husband’s mustache looking like my husband’s — a strange detail that, in hindsight, reflects how little focus she gave us personally.
We left feeling ignored, overcharged, and dismissed. The Sanctuary itself was beautiful, and our friends and family created a joyful day despite everything. But looking back, it’s painful to know how much we spent on a team that showed so little professionalism or empathy.
Our photographer did issue a partial refund but has since stopped responding when I reached out to purchase the RAW files now on 10/30/25. -

3 of cups was recommended to us by our venue as experts in microwedding planning and day of coordinator. We worked with Jessica as the wedding planner and Ash as the day of coordinator. Although both of them are wonderful people my wedding unfortunately did not go as planned due to lack of communication. When we first decided to go with 3 of cups we were under the assumption that the planner and the day of coordinator would be the same person. Later on in the planning we were told it would be two different people and were assured of a “seamless” transition. We felt very uneasy about having the day of coordinator be different but trusted their expertise. During the planning of the wedding Jessica was unorganized. We had talked about a follow up meeting during one of the planning meeting. This meeting turned in to meeting the day of coordinator and a few days before the meeting Jessica asked if we could meet with Ash on our own as she had a personal commitment. We were confused as to how we will be using this meeting to plan for the wedding without Jessica. So we brought that to her attention on the confusion and thankfully Jessica did make things right by attending the meeting to plan. She canceled this tag up with the day of coordinator so I didn’t meet her until the day of my wedding. Another instance Jessica was unorganized was then she included another contact in her email who had the same name as my husband on the meeting notice causing confusion as to why that person declined the meeting. Lastly, the final bill that Jessica sent was inaccurate with wrongful charges that we caught and brought to her attention. In my opinion, Jessica knows her stuff but is overbooked and overwhelmed which compromises the quality of service.
The day of my wedding was not a seamless transition. The day of coordinator failed to get my family in the right area for major events such as signing of the documents. My pictures are missing my family witnessing a milestone. Moments like these can’t be recreated. Items from the material checklist was “checked in” without visually seeing it. When I asked how the corsage was checked it without seeing it. The response was well we assumed it was all together. A few other items on the wedding schedule was changed without the consent of the bride and groom. I can’t blame the day of coordinator as she didn’t meet me or know me until the day of my wedding. My now-husband attended the walk-through with 3 of cups but I did not as I lived out of town. I really can’t blame the day of coordinator on how she handled the wedding as she didn’t know that communication was important to me. It would have been nice to have 3 of cups schedule a get to know meeting so this could have been addressed.
Over all 3 of cups has a good process in planning but lack communication and professionalism due to limited bandwidth. If you hire 3 of cups ensure everything you agree to is in writing and review all documents to ensure accuracy. Jessica doesn’t have time for phone calls to address her mistakes. All of it needs to be sent in an email which are answered in a few days. I believe my wedding would have gone better if the planner and coordinator was the same person and if 3 of cups was more mindful of their bandwidth before taking on clients
