Barbara was an amazing coordinator!

We hired Barbara as a "day-of" coordinator for our wedding, and it was certainly one of the best decisions we made. Barbara knew the venue really well, had everything planned out several weeks in advance, put together a timeline and shared it with our vendors, AND kept us all on that timeline throughout the wedding day! As an added note, we had to postpone our wedding twice because of Covid, and Barbara was flexible with us both times. She didn't charge any rescheduling fees due to the pandemic circumstances outside of our control (like some other vendors did) and helped us get everything back on track. One of our vendors even went out of our way to tell us how nice Barbara was when speaking to her. You won't regret hiring her for your wedding!

Barbara is the absolute best!

Barbara was an outstanding individual to work with, from our earliest meetings for planning and scheduling, all the way to the day after the wedding, Barbara was so helpful. She knows what she is doing and she does it so well. Our wedding went smoothly from start to finish, and with her there I was stress-free and was able to focus all of my attention on the real reason of the wedding: my beautiful wife and the celebration of our love!

Barbara was very professional when working with all of our vendors. She created a clear and concise timeline for our wedding, shared it will all pertinent parties, and also helped to ensure that everyone stuck to the schedule. Multiple vendors directly commented to us that they had a great experience working with Barbara during our wedding.

How to relax the day of your daughter's wedding

Choosing Barbara to be our wedding day coordinator was one of the best choices I made for my daughter's wedding. She worked with us to determine what was important to us and designed a timeline based on our input. She was flexible and made changes as we went along. She worked with all of our vendors to make delivery and set up the day of the wedding go smoothly. All I had to do was relax and enjoy the day. One of the best investments you can make for your wedding is to hire an experienced planner and Barbara is an excellent choice.

Calm Organized Kind Wedding Planner

As the mother of the bride, Barbara's calm presence and effectiveness were wonderful on our daughter's wedding day. She is an excellent communicator and was able to resolve any last minute considerations that came up. Barbara worked well with the wedding venue staff, vendors, and family. I highly recommend her services!

Nothing but AMAZING!!!

Barbara rocks!! She went above and beyond to make our day even more special. She took care of many details that my husband and I had forgotten to consider. Nothing escaped her keen eye. With her coordination our wedding ran very smoothly and all unpredictable events were taken care of without notice. She was always available to use before and during the wedding. Her caring nature always made me feel like everything was going to be perfect even when things got a little stressful.

Creative & Perfect

Working with Barbara was amazing! She guided us to ensure we had a beautiful wedding that was within our budget. She hand made our decorations and they turned out perfect. She has an eye for detail. She made our vision for our wedding come to life! My husband and I have only been married three weeks and I’ve already recommended her to a family friend.

Batbara is Amazing!

Barbara did an OUTSTANDING job on our wedding! She comes across as a low-key person but is a total DYNAMO on event day! The venue was decorated beautifully! Leading up to the wedding, Barbara was so responsive and helpful with planning, contacting vendors, and offering reassurance to this nervous bride, and keeping the evening running smoothly. All the guests raved about how beautiful the venue looked. And most of all, this micromanaging, nit-picky bride was overjoyed at the end result! Hiring Barbara was a great decision! Even if you are a DYI kind of person, you need Barbara so you can enjoy your event. Worth every penny! Thanks so much for making the day/evening so beautiful!!

Our wedding was amazing thanks to Barbara!

Barbara was amazing! Everything ran so smoothly and she went above and beyond to make sure our big day was flawless. She even blew up every single balloon for our exit to make it easier for our guests. I don’t think we could have done it without her.

Highly recommend!

My husband and I were VERY fortunate to have hired Barbara as our Month-of-Coordinator. We were looking for someone who is a good listener, responsive, organized, and affordable - Barbara was all of those things. Honestly, we didn't know where to begin with planning and she really helped us step back and see the whole picture... and at the same time be able to help us iron out the details. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is having a wedding. Thank YOU Barbara for making our lives so less stressful :)

Barbara took care of day-of-details and allowed us to enjoy the entire day!

Barbara was so very helpful as our day-of-coordinator. We took care of the details prior to the event, but it was wonderful to have Barbara as our day-of-coordinator so we could totally enjoy the wedding and reception. She kept everything on schedule and helped make our daughter's day extra special. She also had an assistant join her. Although she was our day-of-coordinator, she got copies of all of the contracts that we had signed prior to the wedding and contacted all of the vendors prior to the wedding to ensure that we didn't have any "day of" issues.

The best coordinator for real

I can't even begin to describe how wonderful and awesome Barbara is! My wedding vow renewal ceremony and reception was so perfectly coordinated and everything went very smoothly and seamlessly. Barbara went above and beyond in executing my vision, she understood just what I wanted and her helpful suggestions really made a difference. Several times she came up with things I didn't even think of. I consider myself very nitpicky and also a bit of a control freak, but with Barbara, I never had to worry for a second. I could just relax and enjoy my day because I was in the best hands possible. The reception and ceremony area looked so elegant, I couldn't stop looking around in amazement and gratitude. I got so many compliments on every bit of the event, the decor, the organization, the seamless transition, everything. It might seem cliche to say my wedding renewal was perfect, but I promise you it was perfect and Barbara was a HUGE part in making that happen!

Great Experience

Barbara was wonderful to work with! She has a lot of experience working at Camp Lucy where our daughter was married. Barbara was familiar with many of our vendors and that was very helpful. Barbara is organized, friendly, easy going and most importantly calm. These are all necessary attributes of a successful wedding coordinator. Thanks so much for all your assistance on our daughter's wedding day!

Amazing Wedding Coordinator

I highly recommend Barbara as a day of wedding coordinator. I was not planning to have a day of coordinator, but my venue, Camp Lucy required me to have one. So I started looking for a planner. Many of the planners charge over $1,500.00, even with a low guest count. Barbara was not only reasonable in price, but she executed perfectly. I am very organized, efficient with my time, and managing tasks so I had found almost all my vendors by the time I hired Barbara. She has a great network and was able to find me the final piece of my wedding puzzle: the officiant (who turned out to be amazing as well). She went above and beyond to help with picking up sparklers I purchased from someone in Austin (we live in San Antonio) and brought containers to set them in, which was not something she was required to do. During the meeting at Camp Lucy 30 days prior to our wedding she asked important questions that I did not think of and made excellent suggestions for questions I was unsure how to answer. Barbara has many years of experience and was very familiar with my venue and my Camp Lucy account specialist since they had worked together before. On the day of the wedding Barbara arrived before me and started setting up my personal items as soon I walked in with them. She coordinated with my vendors and everything ran very smoothly. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out and I am definitely glad the venue "required" me to get a coordinator. I could not have done what she did myself and also enjoyed my wedding. If you are looking for a perfectly executed wedding then Barbara is the best choice!

Barbara did a beautiful job on the decorations and exceeded our expectations. My Daughter, wanted simple, lots of lights and elegant. It was wonderful walking into the event (though we had to move everything inside the Zilker Park Clubhouse due to a huge probability of rain.) When I (the Mother of the Bride walked inside, it took my breath away). 2 recommendations that I would make as I learned this because it was my first wedding to plan; Don't leave the ceremony up to your coordinator. I wish I had paid extra to have Barbara at our rehearsal dinner (she does not automatically attend and you can't have the rehearsal at Zilker Park Clubhouse) so the ceremony itself went way too quickly due to poor planning on my part. One other suggestion is to make sure you have hired enough extra hands for clean up. Barbara will be ready and willing to help in any way she can, but don't expect her to read your mind.

Barbara is amazing. I cannot say enough great things about her. She is creative, smart, thoughtful, organized, and everything you need in a coordinator! She was very willing to work with our budget and needs for our wedding. She has a ton of experience and genuinely loves what she is doing. We were in constant communication throughout the planning, which I appreciated it. She is very transparent on what needs to be done. She is someone we could trust 100% to make sure our wedding day would go smoothly! We just needed to concentrate on having fun on the day of my wedding. And we did without a care in the world! It was perfect.
It was great working with her and definitely looking forward to working with her in the future on other projects (kids birthday parties, baby showers, etc). :)

I could go on for paragraphs about how great Barbara’s service was for our wedding. We hired Barbara as a day-of-coordinator about two months before our wedding when we thought we might need a professional to help with day-of logistics. In our first meeting with Barbara, we were totally sold - she is so experienced and had thoughtful questions for us that we hadn’t even begun to think about (and probably should have at that point)!

Leading up to the wedding, Barbara was in frequent contact with me and our vendors nailing down the timeline and answering questions. She was helpful beyond words in answering questions like order of the processional, where we could get flower girl baskets at a reasonable price, the list goes on and on. You never think about how hard it is to plan a wedding when you haven’t planned one before, so it was extremely helpful to have Barbara - she knows her stuff!!

Our wedding day itself was absolutely perfect, thanks to Barbara. She came to me with a few questions or updates on things throughout the day but already had a plan on how to handle them. I didn’t have to make any decisions or worry about timing of things at all during the day, which was amazing.

To any bride who is planning their wedding themselves (like me), having a day-of-coordinator was 1000% worth it and Barbara is a phenomenal choice!

Barbara is the coordinator you could only dream of. She is quick to respond (sometimes within minutes via email), and extremely organized. I had her as my day-of coordinator and she kept us on schedule and ran interference when need be! She was there for every request I had, and even came through with bug spray when I was getting bitten by mosquitos while taking photos outside. Now that's what I call being prepared. I really couldn't have done it without her.

Barbara is amazing!! From our very first meeting, I was so impressed by her organization and warmth. As our day-of-coordinator, she did a phenomenal job keeping things moving on schedule (even when there were the inevitable little hiccups or surprises) and working alongside both our vendors and friends and family who had volunteered to help. I only wish I had found her sooner! She is organized, detail-oriented, patient and calming ;) My fiance and I were so grateful to be able to turn to her for an expert's take at various points in the lead up to our big day.

Barbara at Austin Event Studio was EVERYTHING you could want in a wedding date of coordinator and more! She was extremely responsive in the wedding planning process, and even though she was only hired as a day-of coordinator, she was willing to help me with some of the more difficult decisions leading up to the wedding. She truly went above and beyond. Barbara was always an EXTREME pleasure to work with and her experience as a wedding coordinator truly shows!

Leading up to the big day, she attended a final vendor meeting with my mother and I, and questions prepared for each of the vendors to iron out any wrinkles in the schedule. Then, she provided a detailed schedule (down to the minute!) for the actual wedding day. She was in contact with each of the individual vendors herself and reviewed all the contracts to make sure nothing had been missed.

On the day of the wedding, her and her lovely assistant help to set up the tables, coordinate the vendors, and just make sure that everything was going as scheduled. There was so much to do that I know that without the help Barbara and her assistant, there is no way that everything would have gotten finished on time for the ceremony.

I give the highest recommendation for Barbara at Austin Event Studio. HER PRICES ARE UNBEATABLE! I am talking, people were charging FIVE TIMES as much for the same services and not-so-hot reviews. This is who you should go with! Literally a life saver and I couldn't imagine my big day without her help. Thanks Barbara!!!

We could not have made it through our wedding without Barbara Cooper, or Saint Barbara as I will call her! At first, we just hired her for our day-of coordination, but as the tasks started to pile up, my mom made the smart decision to hire her on as a full-time coordinator. It was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process! Barbara's calm demeanor, professionalism and positive attitude were the perfect match for this stressful time. She had many great ideas, design supplies and was very organized with To-Do Lists and Timelines that allowed our multi-day celebrations to run smoothly. Her decorations for our Meet and Greet and for the Wedding Day were perfect! I was so pleased with the way everything turned out.

On the wedding day, Barbara was there from start to finish. We gave her a few items we wanted at the entrance for the guest sign-in and the display was perfect and really reflected our style! The table settings with burlap runners and small votive candles brought added romance to night. The biggest asset of having Barbara on our team was being able to leave the venue with our friends at the end of the night, knowing that everything was taken care of. All of the vendors had been paid by simply giving Barbara the checks with tips to hand out, all of the leftover food and alcohol was packed up and transported and all of our decorations, including flowers were collected and brought to where they needed to be. I have heard horror stories of couples celebrating their big day only to have to stay late to clean and tie up loose ends. Barbara ensured that all we had to do at the end of the night was walk under the lit sparklers held up by all our guests (which Barbara provided), get on our shuttle bus and enjoy the magical day that had just taken place.

Hiring a wedding planner is the smartest thing you can do for your big day, and hiring Saint Barbara with Austin Event Studios is the perfect choice!

Barbara is the absolute BEST! She's professional, friendly, and (most importantly) a total powerhouse at her job. Without hesitation I'd recommend her for anyone planning any type of event. She was by far the best vendor I hired for my wedding; she made sure my day was stress-free (even though quite a few things went wrong) and enjoyable. If you're on the fence about who to hire, stop looking, hire her. You won't regret your decision. Thanks for everything, Barbara!

Barbara was our saving grace! We interviewed several wedding coordinators before we found Barbara. The minute we met Barbara, my daughter and I felt a sense of peace! She was a self starter, examining the flow and details of the wedding without being asked. She is calm and polite yet knows how to coordinate others! Barbara dealt with vendors, coordinated the decorations, and always had the total picture in mind. During the wedding and reception I was able to totally relax and enjoy the wedding because Barbara had our back- taking care of all the details. Barbara helped make our daughter's wedding prefect!

Ms. Barb is AMAZING!!! There are not enough words to express how wonderful Barbara is at what she does!! From the very beginning she was very accommodating, flexible and helpful with advice. We planned our wedding from Baltimore MD so it was so nice having someone that had expert knowledge of the area, vendors, etc... to rely on. If you are looking for ANY type of assistance for your wedding or other event we would highly recommend giving Barb a call!!! We can't thank her enough for a completely perfect day!

Barbara helped us plan and decorate a brewery for our daughter's wedding reception. It was a challenging venue to decorate and she pulled it off beautifully. She paid attention to details and worked in all the little extra things that we wanted at the reception. Barbara worked within a short time frame to make the venue look beautiful. We received many compliments on the how the brewery was decorated and how the party flowed. Thank you again Barbara!

Wedding guests = approx. 60-65

We hired Barbara for day-of coordination & decor/design assistance. I had SOOOO many ideas (thanks to Pinterest) and needed a little help pulling it all into one finalized plan. She met with us several times & always followed up with emails quickly. With the package we bought, she allowed us to use many of her awesome wedding decorations! They blended so nicely with the items I selected!! She sent us a nice copy of the finalized design plan (which was a huge relief for the DIY bride).

Barbara showed up to the venue early (for day-of coordination & decoration). We had TONS of people helping out, so when I stepped away for hair & make-up, I was a little nervous as to how things would end up. When I came back into the room, I was overwhelmed with excitement because everything looked AMAZING. The tables were set up beautifully.

Throughout the wedding, she made sure we stayed on schedule, but she wasn't obtrusive. We would definitely recommend Barbara for wedding services.

Wow!!!! Barbara at Austin Event Studio was absolutely AMAZING!!!! She will make your wedding like a fairytale and is at your service every step of the way!!! You will not find a better wedding planner in Austin in my opinion. She is very detail oriented, can multi-task like you can not believe, and is able to coordinate with the vendors so effortlessly to make your day absolutely perfect! She always has a smile on her face and is able to make miracles happen even if part of your family has a totally different Vision than you!!! She is there to make YOUR DAY PERFECT! I remember her the day of being there at my beck and call and she even went and picked up all of our flowers on the day of since the florist couldn't (for a very minimal charge)!!!! I just can't speak enough great words about her!!!!

Barbara has done a phenomenal job planning our son’s 1st Birthday party. Her attention to detail and follow through was impeccable. She was very attentive in understanding our tastes, ideas and worked diligently to deliver. She made the planning process delightful.

We would like to specially call out how she went above and beyond to arrange the piñata. We had no way to hang the piñata and we really wanted one for the party. She figured out a creative way to get the piñata up while abiding by the rules of the event center. It was truly awesome!

She and her crew created the “wow-factor” in our party. We continue to get compliments on how well the Birthday party was organized!

We highly recommend Barbara’s event planning services. Thank you Barbara for a job well done!

Barbara was a life-saver for our wedding! I wanted to make sure that my parents could enjoy the wedding and reception without having to do all the setup themselves which was not possible given the time constraints. Barbara service for day-of coordination solved this problem. She is super organized, professional and a nice person. She scheduled a call ahead of the wedding with us and then built a timeline of when things would happen on the day of the wedding. This gave us peace of mind going into what can be a stressful day. She pulled everything together at the ceremony and reception beautifully. The value of this service far surpasses her fee. I highly recommend her to anyone having a small, self designed wedding to help bring everything together so you can enjoy your day.

I had a large wedding and she did a great job with handling everyone. She was pulled in all directions but kept her composure and handled it like a champ. I defiantly recommend her.

I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about Austin Event Studio! I have used their services for our baby showers, birthday parties, appreciation breakfasts and graduation events. The owner, Barbara Cooper is not only highly professional and vastly creative with our events but more importantly she has the keen knack for drawing out the beautiful and intimate characteristics of our loved ones.

It is always an absolute pleasure working with Barbara and Austin Event Studio and I plan on doing so for many years to come!!

Barbara Cooper was a GOD SEND! Much of my family lives quite a distance away, and were unable to help me with the planning process. It would have been so overwhelming without her help! She has such an eye for detail and is very creative. In addition, my wedding day went so smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better event planner. If you are looking for someone to help you plan a beautiful, stress-free day, Austin Event Studio is a smart choice!

Austin Event Studio helped my husband and I have the wedding of our dreams. The service was friendly and helpful, everything was completed with immaculate detail, and she understood exactly what we wanted on our big day. She is very professional and flexible. She was completely flexible when the weather decided to clear up and we were able to have our ceremony outside, which we decided the day of. She was the best wedding planner we could ever have asked for, and our wedding day would not have happened without her.

Barbara Cooper was a wonderful coordinator and planner for our wedding, and we were so happy to have her with us on our special day! She has a fabulous eye for decorating, and the little touches she suggested—especially for the reception decorations—made everything even more perfect than I'd hoped for. I would definitely use her services again!

Barbara was my day of coordinator for my wedding. Her services were amazing! We had an initial meeting in which she asked me multiple critical questions that I had yet to realize we're very important for my big day. She was there for the rehearsal and helped foresee minor potential issues, as well as problem solve with brilliant solutions. My wedding ran very smoothly, and if there were any problems, I was completely unaware because Barbara handled it! She helped with the set up, and packed up everything afterwards. She was kind enough to meet my husband and I the day after our wedding (which was Mother's Day) with a car full of our belongings (gifts, wedding decor/favors, and alcohol). She was extremely affordable, in fact I think she should charge more! I highly recommend her for any event!

Barbara was great! Our wedding process was pretty hectic but she was extremely flexible and always there to help out anyway she could. She also had an assistant since we had such a large wedding. Everything came together and it was absolutely perfect!

Barbara was very easy to work with for day of wedding coordination. During planning she was very accommodating when we needed to meet up in person and when I had any wedding related questions. On the wedding day, I'm glad she was there to keep us on schedule and communicate with the vendors so I could just enjoy the evening. She was very prepared and helped me out when I had a slight wardrobe malfunction!

Day-Of Coordinator for Our Wedding!

Barbara was fantastic to work with and helped provide some detailed timelines in the month leading up to the wedding. She was present throughout my entire wedding and had lots of good day-of tips. I had to reschedule my wedding twice and she was also so flexible in helping me reschedule, which I'm so thankful for. Since I am in Austin and she's now based in Dallas, she wasn't able to attend my venue walkthru but did conference call in.

Well, I am feeling sort of guilty to possibly put the one "bad" review, but now that my wedding is a month+ over and I've talked to family and bridesmaids, I am not thrilled with the service I received from Barbara.

Pre-Wedding:
Initially, I was very impressed with Barbara. We had a great few phone calls where she asked thoughtful questions and offered great suggestions. She was very responsive with email, which was great--she helped me work a few logistics out. I am very very detail oriented myself so it was nice to have another person there to hash through the "little things". That being said, as the wedding got closer, I noticed some of my emails were unresponded to. This is very important and I'd expect better.

Rehearsal:
Barbara seemed confused a few times at where to put people or how to have people walk. A few of bridesmaids commented that she was talking about the wedding having a few hundred people...that she may have been confusing my wedidng with another wedding. Confusion about order of people, etc. This wasn't a big deal and I figured it was an oversight. She helped figure out where to have everyone sit and that was helpful.

Wedding Day:
Barbara showed up on time and ready to work. However, several things occured on the wedding day that I feel Barbara could have done a better job with, which I will detail below.
-Notifying me of small things: Barbara notified me of a plate issue as well as other small things on my big day. I would ask that in the future she go to a key bridesmaid or a family member, not the bride
-When a big problem occured near the end of the night, Barbara didnt offer any solution, so my bridesmaids and i had to work it out ourselves.

Overall Barbara is not a bad choice, I just wish she better spelled things out and utilized my bridal party and family more than me on such a stressful, busy day. She was generally easy to work with and helpful otherwise.
