Mac M. Sent on 11/06/2022Jessika is an absolute lifesaver
Jessika was such a lifesaver for our wedding! We had moved away from Austin and were functionally organizing a destination wedding from afar, so we hired her for day-of services plus advance planning for three months before, We simply couldn't have done it without her. Before the big day, she helped us think through logistics and did such a stellar job of walking the line between helping us realize our ideas...and gently nudging when we needed the professional guidance to steer away from some of those ideas. The thing you want on the day of is knowing you're in good hands so you can focus on the moment, and we were only able to do that because of her. Jessika and her staff handled a thousand tiny things to make the day go smoothly and we didn't even notice anything was awry, which is the highest compliment. She even transported a carful of decor to and from the venue, really above and beyond. We highly recommend her! -

Chanler from 36th Street Events is an angel that made my day perfect!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Chanler from 36th Street Events - she is truly an angel that made my wedding day so perfect. Don't even think twice, and book her 😊. She will truly make your day so special and worry-free. I got to really take in my wedding day and live in the moment which is really every bride's dream. On top of that, she felt like a best friend which was really comforting. My husband also couldn’t believe how amazing she was at her job, and our entire wedding party was just so impressed.
My wedding venue, Ma Maison, requires you to book a day of planner and I did A LOT of interviews with different preferred wedding planning companies and their planners, but most of them felt so intense and honestly stressed me out. I wanted my day of planner to feel like one of my friends since they are literally with you every step of the way on your wedding day. As soon as I had a call with Chanler I knew right away she was the wedding planner I wanted to book. She has a calm but very cheerful demeanor, and brings such a positive vibe to all things. While Ma Maison did require me to book a day of planner, looking back I would book Chanler whether it was required or not because she took so much stress off my plate during the pre-planning process & made my wedding day run smoother than butter!
Let's talk details:
--> Pre-planning process:
While I booked the "day of planning" package, services actually start ~6 weeks out where Chanler took over all of my vendor & contract communication (so helpful!). Even before the 6 week timeline, Chanler and I met for coffee so that I could tell her my wedding plans and ask questions. From there, Chanler put together an initial timeline that we were able to make changes to along the way. This was extremely helpful because I had no idea where to start with a timeline. Chanler also provided me with pre-planning documents and checklists which was kept us on track. She did this in a shared excel/word doc which made it so EASY to make comments to eachother & have timely communication. Every bride knows how stressful wedding planning can be, and Chanler made the process organized to help me not get over-whelmed.
-->Rehearsal:
My wedding party was SO IMPRESSED with Chanler! She is spunky and professional & did an amazing job getting our large wedding party (20 people total + parents) to follow instructions. Chanler did a great job getting our wedding party to listen and have a successful rehearsal but to also enjoy it (other weddings I’ve been in, it can sometimes feel like a chore). EVERYONE LOVED CHANLER!
-->Wedding day:
This is where the magic happens! Chanler and her team were just out of this world amazing on the wedding day. They are so professional, and helped us follow the timeline. It was truly like MAGIC. Not once did I feel stressed with the timeline or was thinking "what's next". I just got to live in the moment and enjoy my wedding day with my husband, family, and friends. My Mom, and bridal party just kept raving about how wonderful Chanler and her team was, they made the day run so smoothly!
-->Overall:
If I could give more than 5 stars for Chanler I would. She is truly the best in the business, and deserves all of the accolades. She is professional, organized, calm, and brings such an amazing energy that is hard to describe until you meet her. Thank you Chanler for making our wedding day so special and for being such an amazing person! -

36th Street Events is definitely one of the more well known wedding planning agencies in the city, and it's obvious why. They make the planning process seamless. Coming from an events agency background myself, it was important to me that I didn't need to worry about anything and that the planner had processes and procedures that made the event seamless. I truly was able to throw all of my already planned details, not so planned details, and details I didn't know about yet at my planner (Chanler). She was as involved as she needed to be as a month of planner (as in, she wasn't all over me, nor did she ghost when I needed - she was perfectly accessible). And she took all of my details and executed the event flawlessly and with a smile on her face! I'd like to think I was easier than most as I didn't have a ceremony, but I'm certain she would have handled that with grace and ease as well. I'm truly grateful for Chanler - and the pricing was competitive too, so I know I chose correctly! -

Jessika Knight was the planner for our wedding on December 29, 2019 at South Congress Hotel, but she was much much more than that. She was a visionary, designer, project manager, advocate, negotiator, team leader and supporter. She did it all with a smile and a warmth that put me at ease from day 1. Ours was a very short engagement - only 5 months - and Jessika exceeded our expectations at every turn. She really understood us and what we wanted and found the right vendors at the right price to execute our vision. She made excellent recommendations and was so so knowledgeable. It was truly a perfect day! I can't imagine how we could have improved on it. If anything went wrong I'm certainly not aware of it (as it should be)! Jessika deserves all the credit for making our wedding dreams come true. -

Hiring Andie from 36th Street Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We got married in Austin but live out of state and were nervous about planning a wedding from afar. There was no need to be nervous once we had Andie on board, from the moment we started talking to her about our wedding it felt like a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. She was so organized and asked all the right questions. The day of our wedding went so smoothly thanks to Andie and her team. We had our wedding during COVID and Andie didn't bat an eye when we explained all of the social distancing/safety precautions that were important to us. No need to look any further -- hire Andie and the 36th Street Events team now!! -

I hired 36th street events for partial planning and day of planning for my wedding in Septembere 2021. I worked with Jessika and she was great! Before the event she gave us all the tools we needed to plan our layout, track meals and understand the schedule of the wedding day events. She made sure all of our vendors were informed of the production schedule and were all on the same page. On the wedding day itself Jessika and her assistant made everything go completly smoothly and even grabbed me a new pair of shoes from my room when my original ones were killing me. They were professional and had a great positive attitude. Highly reccomend I don't know how we would have done it without them! -

Brittany V. Sent on 12/17/2019Jessika Knight is hands down THE best
Jessika is absolutely remarkable- stop searching for a coordinator- YOU FOUND HER! If you want to feel completely supported so that you (as a bride) and your family can relax leading up to and on your wedding day, hire Jessika. We hired Jessika for full-service and we can say without a doubt it was THE single best decision we made when it came to our wedding. She accompanied us to all of our appointments and always had a list of questions that we wouldn't have even thought to ask vendors. We got to relish in the excitement of cake tastings, venue choosing, DJ listening because we knew she had our back. We trusted her so much that we practically just used whoever she recommended without question, which worked out better than we ever imagined. It's nearly impossible for us to choose our favorite thing about Jessika because she is the perfect amount of fun, kind, incredibly intelligent, organized, spreadsheet loving, design guru who listens intently....but don't let her kindness fool you, she will go to bat to make sure her bride & groom are enjoying their day surrounded by family and friends. At our first meeting Jessika let me ramble about what I wanted and the vision I had for my wedding. I knew what I wanted my wedding to look like but had no clue how to make that happen or if it would all flow together. She put together a shareable pinterest board for the both of us and from there she was inside my head and knew exactly what vendors I should use, where to get the taper candles (oh yeah, I learned new words along the way too), what flowers would bring it all to life...you name it, she could find it. Those were just a few of the hundreds of details she put together. When I saw the final product, I was in tears...lots of happy tears. I got thank you cards from guest after our wedding thanking us for inviting them to the most beautiful wedding they've ever seen and all of that was owed to Jessika. My Grandma even sent Jessika a thank you note. All of this to say, these are just the duties we saw her do, none of this to mention the unseen jobs she was doing behind the scenes. She can bring your vision to life and make your day more magical than you ever imagined. Just WOW. Thank you, Jessika for being your perfect self. -

Our wedding day would not have been possible without Jessika & 36th Street Events! For the past year, Jessika has been with us every step of the way - helping us crystallize our wedding vision, choose vendors, make important decisions, and most importantly, keep our sanity! Jessika has been in the Austin wedding business for years and had planned several weddings at our venue (Laguna Gloria) which was really important to us. She has so many industry relationships and was able to tailor her recommendations to us based on our vision and budget. One of the things we loved most about Jessika was her thoroughness throughout the entire process. From our 3-hour initial planning meeting to countless vendor proposal revisions to our endless questions in the lead-up to our big day, she was always so patient with us and thoughtful with her suggestions. She’s extremely solutions-oriented and goes above and beyond for her clients. One example of this is that she allowed us to ship misc. items like our guest book, welcome sign, etc. to her home (!!) because my husband and I moved to California during the wedding planning process and had nowhere to ship them. We never felt like any of our ideas or questions were silly because she always considered them genuinely and has the most optimistic, cheerful attitude. During the week of our wedding, I had the utmost confidence in Jessika that our wedding would be executed perfectly, and I truly felt like I could relax and just enjoy the moment. That was no small feat as our wedding venue has an extremely short set-up window (2 hours!), but I never felt any of the stress that I’m sure Jessika and her teammates were feeling that day! We would highly recommend Jessika to anyone planning a wedding in Austin! Jessika, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more! -

I don't know if I can adequately express how happy I am with my decision to use 36th Street Events. My planner was Jessika Knight, and to say she is top-notch is an understatement. She was responsive, gave me her honest opinion when I needed it, and a dream to work with. From our initial phone call through the wedding day, she was on top of everything. She really understand the vibe I was going for, and it really felt she wanted to do everything possible to execute my vision. I had multiple family members and wedding party members tell me that my planner was amazing, as she made sure on the day of the wedding that everyone knew at all times where they needed to be and when, as well as provide direction on anything else. You must have Jessika plan your wedding!! -

Let me start by saying I am, for better or worse, difficult to impress and often dream up things that are far from reality --- our wedding absolutely blew us away with how perfectly and above our expectations it turned out to be. It all came together so beautifully and thoughtfully beyond what we could imagine. We received endless compliments from our guests on the design, set up, etc, but mostly for the service that Beth and 36th Street Events provided throughout the day. (Of course, we were fully aware of how wonderful Beth is from working with her over a year and a half to plan and were not surprised that our guests received the same customer service). My husband and I have repeatedly told our friends that hiring our wedding planner was the top item that we would splurge on all over again and again. We got to enjoy all of the planning time and relax the day of because Beth and her team literally handled and managed it all! -
