Theresa Sent on 03/28/2022Stacy will NOT let you down!!!
Stacy was everything we could have asked for as our planner! Since our wedding was a destination venue we were very reliant on her to communicate our needs to vendors and streamline our planning process. She went above and beyond in all aspects and her communication was prompt and very professional. Stacy managed to encapsulate our vision for the wedding, from the floral, venue, place settings, catering, and photographers /videographers. We can't thank Stacy and Eclipse Event Co enough for everything. -

Alex Sent on 02/26/2025Call Stacy Now!
We LOVE Stacy! I found Eclipse Events through the Knot/Instagram and reached out shortly after my engagement. I had interviewed several planners and felt like Stacy and I just clicked. We had already booked our venue by the time we hired Stacy but really had nothing else planned. I sent Stacy my Pinterest board and told her about some of my ideas for the big day, and she got to work immediately creating a mood board and reaching out to vendors. She had great vendor recommendations across the board and since we got married in Boerne, offered options from Austin and San Antonio. She was a large part of the planning process, but her biggest contribution was the weekend of the wedding. She was with us from the rehearsal dinner the night before all the way through our grand exit. We had a lot of moving parts that weekend and she made sure everything ran smoothly. She was able to make quick adjustments to some last-minute changes I threw at her and I’m sure handled plenty of little hiccups that she made sure I never heard about. If you’re looking for a planner/coordinator who will absolutely nail the job and make it look easy, call Stacy! -

Amazing Experience (Husband Perspective)
As the husband, I wasn’t deep into the wedding planning, but I know my wife has high expectations and a lot of specific requests. Kristi from Eclipse Event Co. did an amazing job keeping everything on track and managing all the details, big and small. She kept the process organized and took a lot of the stress off both of us. If you want someone who can handle anything thrown their way and keep things running smoothly, Kristi is the one you need. She delivered on every level and made sure the day was exactly what we wanted. -

Amanda Sent on 04/04/2024Such a wonderful team!
Haley was our planner for our wedding at Villa Antonia in March. I can't say enough amazing things about her - she is prompt, professional, empathetic, organized, and most importantly - ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!! Every little question I had she was already several steps ahead of me. We are so, so happy that we chose Eclipse because we couldn't have done this without Haley!
A fun tidbit - I broke my toe 3 days before my wedding (proof you need to plan for every possible mishap!) and Haley handled it flawlessly. She made sure I was comfortable and checked in on us every step of the way. We are so thankful for her! Thank you for helping our wedding day be the best day ever!

Amanda Sent on 03/10/2024Work with Eclipse, work with Art, and be prepared for the best wedding day ever!
Art at Eclipse is the best in the biz! We planned our Austin wedding from Boston and truly would not have been able to do it all without him. His portfolio of vendors were beyond impressive and made us feel confident in who we worked with for our big day. He answered our many (MANY!) questions over our year and half engagement and more importantly, he made sure our wedding day was seamless. He was always thinking at least three steps ahead all day. Work with Eclipse, work with Art, and be prepared for the best wedding day ever! -

Taylor Sent on 07/03/2023Tessa is incredible
There are not enough words to describe how amazing my experience was with Tessa at Eclipse Event Co. Tessa is by far the best decision my husband and I made during the wedding planning process. She was extremely detail organized, personable and my go to gal with every question and concern I had. I truly feel like I was working with my best friend.
We worked with Tessa for about 1.5 years and she made sure every detail was accounted for. She would remind us of what needed to be completed at each month of the process, held us accountable and offered up soooooo many recommendations to make sure our day was extremely special. She also was super on top of all vendor communications behind the scene so that everyone was aware of timelines and expectations.
On the day of, my husband and I didn't have to lift a finger or worry about a single detail. She was on top of everything from beginning to end and made our experience truly magical. If you have questions about who should be your planner, I beg of you...HIRE TESSA AT ECLIPSE! Thank you again for making this process soo fun for us :) -

Morgan Sent on 04/11/2023Eclipse and Stacy Nailed It!
Stacy is a ROCKSTAR! She went on a year-and-a-half journey of planning with us, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. She was quick to respond (email and text), professional in all instances, flexible, was really invested in making sure we got exactly what we wanted, was honest, and tactfully managed expectations. All of the vendors she recommended fit perfectly into our overall vision and she made the process very easy with them. The day of, she was amazing. She made sure every detail was planned to the T for us and all vendors and that everything went smoothly. I cannot recommend her and Eclipse enough! -

Kaitlin Sent on 02/13/2023Incredible experience with Cherese!
Cherese at Eclipse Event Co. was absolutely incredible! She was so crucial to making our wedding day completely amazing. Throughout our whole planning process, she was kind and approachable and listened thoroughly to our vision for our wedding and had great suggestions to implement this vision. Cherese made us feel comfortable, made us feel at ease to ask questions throughout planning, and was so fun to chat with during our planning meetings throughout the process. I am a very detail-oriented person who likes to be involved in planning, so I really appreciate that she made the process very collaborative! She was accessible and responsive throughout the planning process and communicated very clearly. As an engaged couple who wasn't familiar with the world of wedding planning, we really appreciated Cherese's expertise and advice on how to do things or what would work well. Cherese did a great job communicating with our vendors and wedding party and was so organized.
On top of helping us design the wedding we dreamed of, Cherese absolutely saved our wedding day when an ice storm destroyed our original venue about 48 hours before our wedding! When Cherese called to tell us the news that our original venue was unusable, she already had a great backup plan and acted quickly to communicate with our vendors and implement everything we wanted for our wedding in a new space. We were SO happy with how our wedding turned out, and Cherese worked tirelessly to make it happen. In addition to doing such an incredible job with planning (and re-planning), she helped our wedding day run super smoothly! She was so kind throughout the day while keeping track of what all our vendors and wedding party members needed to be doing and coordinated with all of them seamlessly. We wanted our wedding to be a celebration of love, for our guests as well as for each other, and Cherese did a great job creating that atmosphere and helping us assesmble a vendor team that reflected this feeling throughout the day- we felt so surrounded by love and care, from our guests, but also from our wonderful vendor team, including Cherese. We cannot recommend Cherese and Eclipse Event Co. highly enough- our wedding literally would not have happened without her! THANK YOU, CHERESE! -

John Sent on 11/22/2022Lauren C was amazing!
What can we say about Lauren Chumbley of Eclipse Event Co other than she saved us! Before hiring Lauren, we spent months searching for a venue. Sorting through all of the possibilities was time consuming and overwhelming. Within a week of hiring Lauren, she provided us a list with several possibilities of each type of vendor that she had personally worked with and could vouch for. Even when we were interested in a vendor not on her initial list, she would enthusiastically support us and handle communication with the vendor. I can’t tell you how much of a stress relief that was to us.
Throughout the year of planning for the wedding, Lauren was constantly personable, professional, and attentive. Even when our wedding was many months away, she would always promptly respond to our texts and emails.
On the day of the wedding, Lauren was even more in her prime. Poor weather blew through and we had to make last minute adjustments to our ceremony. Lauren kept a cool head and minimized the impact on us. She honestly just handled everything on the day and we didn’t have to worry about it. She handled coordination with all of the vendors and the timeline and made sure everything was just right.
Her attention to detail and wanting to get things right was also amazing. One story we want to share is when we were about to take wedding photos after a short rain shower, Lauren went outside ahead of time with paper towels to make sure any puddles that would be visible in the photos were soaked up. She really wants to make everything perfect for your day.
Lauren was without a doubt the best investment we made for our wedding. She was worth every penny! -

Lauren Sent on 07/11/2022Went above and beyond!
Cherese was our month of coordinator for our wedding in May and she did an incredible job! She was so easy to work with and made sure I was not stressed about anything! I had no plan for our send off because I originally wanted to do confetti cannons and our venue did not allow for them. Cherese quickly found an alternate option and sent me several links. I was able to have an incredible send off because of her! She is so gifted as a planner and I loved every minute of working with her! -

Margaret Sent on 04/25/2022I hit the jackpot with Eclipse
I can't even imagine how lost I would've been in the weeds of planning our wedding without the help of Lauren and the Eclipse team. Every time we talked, Lauren was 5 steps ahead, gently reminding me of decisions I needed to make, while keeping me from feeling overwhelmed by all the pieces that had never even crossed my mind. She became a listening ear and knew how to make me laugh when I needed both of those things. When it came to the wedding day itself, I was so relaxed and was able to just enjoy my day knowing Lauren and the team had it all under control. I can't recommend them enough. -

Brooke Sent on 04/09/2022Lauren is a life saver!
We were looking to hire a month of coordinator. Unfortunately we were not happy with the original one we hired and let her go 2 months into the month of… Lauren stepped in and saved the day! She was already ready to answer any questions and ensure everything was organized and ready to go. As a type a bride, I couldn’t have asked for a better planner. She even helped my mother in law with the rehearsal dinner!
We had a lot of different requests for our wedding and she helped us make each one become a reality. I’m beyond grateful that we chose Lauren to share in our special memories! -

Jacquelyn Sent on 04/05/2022Hire Lauren, thank me later.
We came to Lauren at Eclipse in early 2021 with dreams of a NYE wedding. We live in Brooklyn, but I am originally from Texas, so we wanted to have our wedding in Austin. Well, after purchasing a few wedding planning books from Amazon (they are now collecting dust on my bookshelf, in case you can’t tell where this is going), I realized there was no way we could do this on our own. I realized that even if we lived in the same city as our wedding venue, we would still be in over our heads. The logistics alone during a “normal” year would have sent me over the edge, but with the rise and fall of health concerns over the past two years, we really needed help navigating the unexpected. Enter Lauren, our new best friend and wedding guru.
Intellectually, I realize there are no perfect people, but Lauren comes pretty darn close. She navigated contracts, listened to and interpreted our vision, offered advice (and therapy) when we felt like we were dropping balls/ getting overwhelmed, and saved our wedding more than a few times (insert covid fury and disappointment). I will refrain from mentioning all of the ups and downs (as to keep any other brides from reading horror stories), but so many things started unraveling toward our wedding date, and Lauren was so helpful and focused on making things great; I knew it would all be OK.
You might be the most patient, organized person ever, but when it comes to your own wedding, that kind of goes out the window. While I know you can “technically” do things on your own, it is just… it’s a lot, and I don't recommend it. You will be surprised how much you need someone who can offer perspective and solutions when things don’t go as planned (and trust me, that is true for any and every wedding that has ever happened). Your friends and family will be there to help you when you are deep in your feelings, but Lauren will do all of that AND help you figure out your options and solutions, while staying calm and positive. She books insanely fast, so IF you can get her, hire her!

We worked with Cherese Bishop from Eclipse and she was PERFECTION!!!! She was so on top of everything, in contact with everyone all the time, had answers to all of our questions promptly, and made our wedding day a truly magical and stress free experience. Our guests have even mentioned how amazing she was throughout the day! Her personality is amazing and she was such a friendly face to have around on the best day ever!! -

Sandra Sent on 06/29/2020Eclipse made planning stress free for this MOB - even in time of Covid
I don’t know what we would have done without Stacy at Eclipse. When my daughter got engaged, I figured my daughter and I would be the main wedding planners. After all, I had experience planning big fundraisers and other major events. However, I took the sound advice from other recent MOB friends who told me a wedding planner was invaluable. Best. Advice. Ever. We were referred to Eclipse by a family friend. From the pre meeting phone call my daughter had with Stacy and the first meeting (7 months before the wedding day), Stacy instantly “got” my daughter’s vibe and helped educate us on budget and how to use it to meet our goals. She immediately started the ball rolling - I knew we made the right choice. We did Eclipse’s “The Mix” package which is in between “day of” and “full service”, and lets you customize which areas of service you want/need, which Stacy advised on as well. She led and guided us through the process, provided expertise and advice only a true pro knows and was a calm, super organized, kind presence. Behind the scenes, she sourced all of these great vendors and acted as the go between, which was especially helpful as Covid-19 hit midway through planning and we had to change course. Throughout it all, she kept all of us on track and kept us sane during this crazy process and time. Having Stacy allowed both my daughter, her fiance and I to enjoy the planning process rather than be consumed and stressed out by it. After our daughter’s ceremony, even the church coordinator said she wished every bride “had a Stacy”!! So true!

Kristi and Lauren have an amazing, talented team at Eclipse Event Co. I have worked with nearly every planner on their staff, from huge elaborate weddings to much simpler, smaller affairs. Their professionalism, creativity and enthusiasm is consistent across the board. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding, bar mitzvah, etc. You will not be disappointed! -

Eclipse Event Co.
Review
If you are considering a wedding planner I cannot make it clear enough that you should choose Eclipse Event Co., and even more importantly that you DEMAND Brie Oglesby as your designated planner. I was trying to plan my Austin wedding from Seattle, and to say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. Brie put me at ease immediately on our one on one phone call. She is so kind, has great ideas,
style and connections, and is incredibly down to earth - while working together I can truly say we became friends! Brie took my vision and worked (what felt like night and day) for a year, and truly gave me my dream wedding. She was always available to me for big and small questions, I swear she’s attached to her computer at all times, and would even tell me to text her if anything felt urgent. I never felt like I was competing with her other clients for her attention or time, and felt like she was as excited about every little detail as I was. Brie made every single stage of the planning process so simple for me, giving me options to choose from and setting up my calls with vendors - she seriously made everything so easy. And this girl went to bat for me and my budget, getting us discounts any chance she could. I never felt pressured by her to increase our budget, instead she kept me on track with what was most important to me on that day and focused on stretching every last dime to work for us. On the day of she was there with her assistant and WAS A DREAM! She took care of all the day of details, had our rambunctious wedding party where they needed to be when they needed to be there, and took all responsibility off of our families shoulders so we could live in the moment and enjoy the best day ever. I am so incredibly thankful that I was lucky enough to have Brie work on my wedding with me, it was everything my husband and I could of ever asked for and is truly thanks to all of the time, effort, and attention Brie gave us. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Christina Sent on 09/17/2019Amazing, Thoughtful, Resourceful--above and beyond just a wedding planner
There are not enough words to explain how incredible Kristi and Eclipse Events are. Choosing Kristi as my planner made my dream wedding possible. Not only did she capture my vision from day one--but she knew which vendors could make it possible within my budget. Her experience in the industry is invaluable. From the smallest details to flawlessly helping me with a venue change less than a month prior to my wedding--she pulled off the wedding of a lifetime. She also went above and beyond on a daily basis answering my calls, texts, and emails leading up to the wedding. I could go on and on. Choosing Eclipse Events for your wedding will be THE best decision you can make for yourself as a bride!! -

Kayley Sent on 07/01/2019We got to enjoy our WHOLE day!
We knew we were hiring a wedding planner, we just didn’t know we would hit the jackpot. I truly wish I could put into words how wonderful Loren was with me and Felipe. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to postpone our wedding by almost a whole year only a month out from our original date (yeah, you read that right). Loren was kind, understanding and never stopped supporting us. She continued this support and planning throughout our entire process. Loren created a real “safe space” where no idea was too much but all ideas were met with realistic expectations and a plan for follow through. It was amazing. She not only kept up with me but more often than not, Loren beat me to it and that is no easy feat! She thought of everything x1000 and I have no idea what went on day-of because I stopped paying attention to anything around 2pm day of and just enjoyed every second of it. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Even when it started thundering, Loren kept her cool, moved EVERYTHING up and it was even more incredible. She dealt with family, friends, vendors, and ME with ease. She is so patient and creative. All my ladies kept mentioning how she was such a perfect mix of kind and firm. Loren, you were made for this. I wish I could hire you for everything all the time. THANK YOU. -

I want to get married again because of Tessa!
If you have an opportunity to work with Tessa Johnson at the Austin location, snag her up! You guys can't believe the work this woman has done for me and my husband. She wasn't just a wedding planner, she literally was a God send. She made sure all my crazy requests were done, she responded so fast to everything and kept me up to date of everything. I have a stressful job and 3 step daughters and she made this the least stressful thing in my life. All the vendors she hired were on point and affordable. I can't tell you enough how much I'm going to miss working with her. I want to get married all over again just to work with her. She's the best. -

Christy Sent on 07/18/2018I am so happy to have found and chosen Eclipse! I worked with Tessa who was absolutely amazing. She was very sweet, patient, responsive, and overall just a down-to-earth cool chick :) Eclipse is a stellar company and I would definitely recommend working with them. I felt for the value they were especially great; and helped to make our wedding stress-free and memorable!

Mercedes Sent on 07/08/2018This is a company that showed true professionalism from start to finish! I came into contact with this fantastic team as their back up florists! I had a week to put everything together and I could not of done it without Loren! She’s amazing! Wise beyond her years that’s for sure. All my interaction with her was via phone, text and email. She’s a go getter, a fix it all woman and a sweetheart! Imagine the pressure of no florist on the Monday before the wedding. Seriously just imagine that! We all were under so much stress and she kept her cool every step of the way. She kept me informed and helped me navigate all the details of what turned out to be a beautiful and stunning wedding. When I finally met her in person it was like meeting a family member you have t seen in a while. We became instant sisters (my much younger sister;) and made it all happen. Keep in mind she not only had me to guide through all this, but all the other vendors and of course the most important person The Bride. Everything was just flawless. I’m dying to work with her and the rest of the team again. If you’re looking for true professionals that know exactly what they are doing, look no further. Let them take care of you like every bride should be! I wish I would of hired them for my wedding:)

Valerie Sent on 07/06/2018Amy and the Eclipse team took on our eclectic and long list of artists, vendors and wedding guests and managed to perfectly execute our fabulous wedding. While always caring for our experience above all, their attention to detail, thorough communication and perfectly balanced reminders supported our specific style and eased any pre-wedding planning stressors. We are so lucky to have added new friends to our community of support through the Eclipse team.

Nicole Sent on 04/04/2018My hubby and I had an amazing day thanks all to Eclipse and our lovely planner Loren! She was such a dear in helping us decide what we wanted and helping us prioritize our wants and needs. Her responsiveness and availability was so helpful and I can’t thank her enough for making our day the it could possibly be. I highly recommend her and Eclipse! Thank you! -
Lacy Sent on 04/03/2018A planner is the BEST decision I have ever made in regards to our Wedding! Tessa helped me make timelines, layouts, and spoke with all of my vendors for me. It was such a weight off of my shoulders. Without her I would have been lost day of. She made sure everything ran smoothly, fixed any problems that arised, made sure I got to taste both cakes (when they were disappearing quickly), and made sure I stayed on time and the schedule (I love my schedules). I HIGHLY recommend Tessa she is fabulous and kept me sane! Without her I would have been lost. Thank you Tessa for being my saving grace.

Andrew Sent on 02/27/2017I officiate 40-45 wedding ceremonies a year. This gives me a great insight into how event wedding planners work. Lauren and her team were outstanding in all they did for a recent wedding I officiated. Their organizational skills, professionalism, and politeness with the wedding party, guests, and vendors was outstanding. When my own daughter gets married, I would be delighted if Lauren and her team work with her. If you are looking for someone to take the pressure of you and exceed expectations, I highly recommend Eclipse Event Co. -

Kelsey Sent on 11/16/2025Good experience with a few caveats
We had a complex vision for our wedding, and it came together with Eclipse. Amy Bay was our primary coordinator. For months she helped us focus our efforts and keep track of our progress.
We knew it might be tricky to find vendors to support our eco-friendly goals and go along with our creative quirks. At times we weren’t sure Amy was catching our vision. For example, we said *multiple times* that we didn’t want fresh flowers (love flowers, just didn’t want the non-eco friendly aspects). I also shared a fairly filled-out Pinterest board with our colors and décor ideas, and I was excited to see the vision board Amy created for us. We were therefore both confused that the vision board she offered us was covered in traditional florals and looked very little like the Pinterest I’d shared. However, she and the Eclipse team were open to our feedback, which we appreciated, and they pivoted to incorporate more of our goals.
One other issue: We both felt passionately about reducing waste at the wedding and several times requested a waste management meeting prior to the event (we’ve both coordinated teams and understand the importance of extra training in this area). This didn’t happen, and I ended up getting messages and questions about this on the morning of the wedding. The team was able to sort much of the items and donated leftover food to Keep Austin Fed (Lauren Chumbley’s idea!), for which we are so grateful. However, we ended up with tons of opened and unopened items that we had to throw away since they hadn’t been properly managed. We’re thrilled the coordination and catering teams did what they could to reduce the waste, and we encourage other couples to request this as well! Just make sure to have a plan and insist on everyone knowing about it.
Notwithstanding these bumps in the road, on the day of our wedding, Amy and her team (Jesse, Chantale, and Jenn, with special help from Lauren Chumbley) were dedicated and helped our big day run smoothly. They took boxes of décor (including lovely secondhand dried flowers) and created something beautiful in the reception hall. Amy “was a lifesaver” to a guest who was having an allergic reaction. Her team helped keep the multiple events (two cocktail hours and a Scottish/Irish music & dance hour, in addition to dinner and dancing) flowing. The result was a beautiful, joyous occasion for us and our 230 guests. Thank you to Amy, Lauren, Jesse, Chantale, and Jenn for everything. -

Tatiana Sent on 01/13/2025Working with Amy Bay
I hired Amy Bay from Eclipse for their "The Works" package, expecting a high level of service for the price. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations.
Amy provided minimal input on creative ideas for our wedding. The only suggestion she made was a mirror seating chart, which we used. Everything else—from wedding favors and place cards to unique touches like the wedding newspaper—was either my own idea or something I worked on with family and friends. Even when I asked for help finding a guest sign-in book, all she did was send me a link to a generic Etsy search page for "wedding guest book."
Communication was another major issue. I often had to wait a week or more for a response to emails or texts. While I understand she has other clients, a simple acknowledgment that she received my message would have gone a long way.
Our final guest count was 100, as outlined in our agreement, which only required one assistant. However, Amy repeatedly pushed to keep two assistants, which felt unnecessary and like she was trying to avoid putting in the effort.
Overall, the lack of initiative, poor communication, and sense of laziness left me disappointed. While I've heard good things about other planners at Eclipse, I cannot recommend Amy Bay.
If you're looking for someone to truly help you plan your wedding go with anyone else at Eclipse, otherwise, you'll likely end up doing most of it yourself, as I did. -
