Amazing!
The privilege of working alongside such a great company, made the wedding process so much easier! When I first met Rich, the majority of the wedding had been planned, but it was those fine minute details that I never thought, that she knew I needed that set my wedding over the top! When I say Rich and the Fervent Designs Team was one of the most amazing investments I could‘ve made; my husband and I are just beyond grateful. 10/10 all the way. Book with the best and she’ll exceed your expectations. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! -

Museum Wedding 2024
I booked Fervent Designs from Bridal Extravaganza January 2024. What drew me to this company was the knowledge of my venue which was the Museum of Natural Science in Houston, TX. Richandra who is the owner has worked for over 15 years with the museum in multiple capacities. She knew all the rules and regulations so it made planning a breeze. We had a very non traditional wedding and Fervent Designs was able to help facilitate that. Richandra met with us very often to make sure ever detail was planned. Day of I had multiple teams members from Fervent to assist with all aspects of the wedding. Truly an unforgettable time. Thank you so much Richandra and team for planning this event. -

A Blessing
What I could say about Fervent designs can be turned into a book, but I will try to keep this short. Rich was a dream from start to finish, from blowing me away at the bridal show all the way to personally dropping off my wedding license at my doorstep with OFFICAL COPIES.
I have never been a planning type of lady, especially not for 100 people or more. I was blessed to find Rich; she made everything so easy, she had vendors all over, and most were lovely. I had one odd experience and she handled it. (And it was the one vender I picked outside of her; guess I learned my lesson.) But it was handled repeatedly by her until it was done.
I was overwhelmed a lot and she talked me through things, it helped keep me grounded when I felt like I was drowning in wedding stuff. She MC’d My rehearsal dinner, she hosted my wedding beautifully?
I was nervous when my bridal assistant was not going to be her, but Bianca was a gift from God. That woman knows how to have fun, keep things calm all while keeping things moving. Immaculate professionalism from Bianca, Rich, and the rest of her lovely staff.
One of my dear friends of 10 years said, “I never knew my girl deserved and needed to have a wedding planner till I saw yours.” I had so many people refer to her by name, even my guests who liked to complain had nothing but compliments.
I do not plan to get married twice, but I will see her and her 11/10 staff when my baby shower happens.
Thank you for a magical night. -

Exceeding Expectations: A Tribute to Houston's Premier Wedding Planner
As a wedding photographer who recently collaborated with one of Houston's top wedding planners, I can't help but applaud her remarkable workmanship. Her attention to detail was nothing short of impressive, ensuring that every facet of the wedding was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. From coordinating vendors to orchestrating the timeline seamlessly, she demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism.
What truly set her apart was her unwavering dedication to exceeding her clients' expectations. She anticipated their needs before they even arose, allowing the bride and groom to fully immerse themselves in their special day without a single worry. Witnessing her commitment to ensuring their happiness was truly inspiring, and it was evident that she poured her heart and soul into every aspect of her work.
Thanks to her exceptional efforts, the bride and groom were able to cherish every moment of their wedding day without the stress of managing details or vendors. Collaborating with such a talented wedding planner was an absolute pleasure, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her an invaluable asset to the wedding industry. -

Absolutely Amazing
We had an amazing experience with Rich and her entire team at Fervent Designs for our January 2023 wedding at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I met Rich at the Houston Bridal Expo in January of 2022 and immediately knew I was in good hands. She had experience working with our unique venue and was prepared to help from our first consultation (before we even hired her)! Her meticulous attention to detail was evident in every step of the process, from invitations and vendor recommendations to multiple venue walkthroughs and personalized catering tastings, resulting in a tailor-made bespoke wedding. She came prepared to every meeting and kept us on track, ensuring every detail was considered and accounted for.
We had a near disaster when our cake vendor canceled two weeks before the date and Rich skillfully managed to solve the crisis before I even had time to stress! She tactfully handled our large and boisterous family, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there so we could focus on the joy of our wedding day and the life we are building together. I am so grateful for her ensuring our priorities were the focus - a private first meal, lively celebration, and so many little details that made our wedding feel so unique and special!
Rich's professionalism and problem-solving abilities ensured a seamless and memorable celebration. We will certainly be using Fervent Designs for all of our life milestone celebrations. We highly recommend!-

Excellence Beyond Measure
It's rare that I give a perfect score to an organization, but this rating is fitting. I've been to four events, two of which Richandra and Fervent Designs was the organizer; the two that FD did not organize contained many flaws that Richandra would have easily prevented.-

TL;DR - Enjoy your party and hire Fervent Designs to worry about the small things for you!
My husband and I met the Fervent Designs team at a wedding convention and we were initially hesitant to sign up for a consultation but after talking with Richandra (Rich) we decided, “why not do it, it’s free”. The initial call went well - Rich asked about us as a couple and how we envisioned our big day going from the venue to the color schemes, etc. We told her we were planning an out of town wedding and were possibly looking for help and ended the call saying to give us some time to think about hiring her. My husband and I talked it over and decided to hire them so the next day we emailed her and signed the contract for partial planning.
The first two months of our contract Rich made sure that we had our major vendors booked and gave us recommendations when needed. She also gave us an initial budget breakdown of roughly how much everything would cost which helped us see where we could make budget cuts (we also saved money by buying/hiring some services from Fervent Designs). Over the course of the next year she would send out emails checking in on us as well as sending us reminders of when things need to be done. PAY ATTENTION TO THE REMINDERS! It made our wedding day so much easier as we essentially had everything booked, planned, and paid for two weeks before the wedding.
The day of our wedding I was given a bridal assistant Alyssa who was amazing and made sure I was hydrated and cooled off in the summer Texas sun. The Fervent team also did an amazing job trying to keep the day on track as much as it could. Rich made sure that my husband and I ate and had drinks during the reception, which is something most couples forget to do. She also made sure that we got to take photos with family and friends, do our plushie toss (what we did in place of a bouquet / garter toss), and our sparkler send off; all of which we had discussed with her as being important aspects of our wedding. At the end of the night, the Fervent team packed up all of our belongings and food into our vehicle so all we had to do was get in and drive back to our hotel.
Keep in mind that no wedding or event will be perfect and there will always be hiccups. That said, the Fervent team helped to make the day as wonderful as possible and we are ever so happy we hired them to slay our day. -

No need to look further!
Best Event planner ever! I interviewed several event planners and this was the only one that was truly professional all the way through and reasonably priced. They paid attention to everything we wanted and executed to a T. I had absolutely no complaints in every step of the way. Our 40th was a blast with a few surprises she happen to pull off very well. Don't look any further. You found the right one! -

Amazing Service
My husband and I had a destination wedding in Cancun, MX and it was absolutely the best day of our life. The weeks leading up to and the day of my wedding Rich and her team made sure my husband and I was happy and got everything I wanted out of our day. She was so organized, very tentative and made every aspect of the day a breeze. I would recommend this planner to everyone if you want someone that's on top of their game, very passionate, and knowledgeable! I can’t thank Rich enough for how special our day was! -

Wonderful!
With a little less than 3 months of preparation, it was such a big blessing to have Rich and her team plan our wedding. We're amazed of how organized she is, and how she handles everything. From the tiniest details, to the big ones, she delivered. She made sure we have the best vendors, and our wedding turned out to be wonderful! We would definitely recommend her to everyone we know who's getting married. Can't imagine how we're gonna pull off that wedding without her! -

Covid-19 Micro Wedding
My husband and I are from out of state, so we knew we’d be relying very heavily on our planner to identify the best venue, photographer, caterer, etc. for the micro-wedding we were planning in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, as neither of us are very familiar with the area. In addition, we wanted the best value for our buck, as it seemed ridiculous to us to spend an excessive amount of money for an event with a guest count under 25. It was also important to have someone who would exercise the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of a Covid-19 outbreak at our event, as that was a great concern of ours as well.
The Fervent Design team exceeded our expectations on every count, by making excellent recommendations for everything we needed, and in many cases offering their own in-house services that were even more affordable and just as nice as a third-party would have provided! Everything was socially distanced, and planned in the safest, and most thoughtful way so that guests could enjoy themselves and not have to worry about Covid. In addition, Rich and everyone we encountered through her have the kindest dispositions, and just seem to really love what they do! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was, and how impressed they were with Rich and her team. Would highly recommend her and the Fervent Designs team to any couple looking to have a beautiful, well-planned, low-stress wedding - during or post-covid.-

Great team to work with!
The fervent designs team helped execute my perfect wedding day. I gave them my vision and they did all of the hard work of researching, finding the best prices, and ensuring I didn't have to stress about wedding planning. I would highly recommend them whether you just want a little help or you want them to plan every last detail. This was especially great the day of the wedding when all I had to do was get ready and enjoy myself until I walked down the aisle! -

World Class
Rich and her team were such a delight to work with! She was so understanding and helpful even though we had to postpone our wedding multiple times due to my husband's deployment since he is military and surprise baby after his deployment. She always made us feel that our family (us and baby) comes first and everything else will fall into place no matter what challenges came our way. From cake vendors to disappearing with our money to price changes from our wedding venue, she had our back through everything and I couldn't think of a better suited team for us than Fervent Designs. She kept our budget and our vision in mind through it all. Truly World Class.. Hire them, you can't go wrong! -

Best Choice!
This was the best choice we made for celebrating our Church Wedding/10-year Anniversary Vow Renewal! Richandra (and team) totally catered and customized her event planning skills to fit our unique event, held in our church and then our very own backyard. You will not regret hiring this awesome company! Everything from start to finish was handled very professionally and very thoughtfully. The “day of” matters were executed with care and precision. All of this allowed my husband and I, our family, and our friends, to truly be present and enjoy our night fully and stress free. Our guests continued to rave about the Fervent team for days and weeks after our wedding!-

Fervent Designs = Dream Team
Richandra was my Fairy Planner Mother when it came to the wedding. She made sure my wedding day was flawless and stress free! I was nervous wondering if things were getting done or how could i help but I was told to stay put and relax...she did it all. Her team made sure everything was in its place and ready for a gorgeous wedding. We ran out of mixers and juices so one of her dream team went to the store and got us some more. They are the problem solvers. They are Heaven sent! We had no worries that day and everything ran smooth like clockwork. She's the best! Get her...you will not be disappointed at all!! -

You'll want Richandra on team bride and groom!
I first met Richandra when she was the coordinator at my friend's wedding. When I got engaged to my now husband I told him that I didn't even want to look around for a coordinator and I wanted Richandra! I plan events for a living and I knew that I needed her without a doubt. Richandra was amazing from day one and she did a great job of keeping all the details leading up to our big day organized. She knew what questions to ask and made sure that we were remembering little details that likely would have missed without her. When it came time to our wedding day we were so relaxed and were able to enjoy everything because there was nothing to worry about! Richandra and her team had everything handled. -

Best decision and Investment I ever made!
If you want a flawless wedding, you need Rich on your team. Richandra and her Fervent Designs team go above and beyond to make the day you envision come true. It has been 3 months since the wedding and I still get compliments on the wedding and how great Rich and her team were. My husband and I had a great, stress free time with all our wonderful friends and family and I had my traditional wedding just the way I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of supporting this business and recommend them to any future bride! -

Phenomenal Coordinator!!
Richandra with Fervent Designs did a phenomenal job as my wedding coordinator. She kept me on a track with my to-do list. Though it drove me crazy at times, the to-do list was definitely needed as there were a lot of things that I hadn't even thought of. Richandra's expertise in the wedding industry is top-notch, which helped me a great deal. She is amazing and very resourceful. The team (Richandra, Bianca and Ashlynn) made my wedding day go very smoothly, and I know my wedding party would say the same. I would highly recommend Fervent Designs for your wedding planning and coordination as they are a wealth of knowledge regarding everything "Wedding!" -

Beautiful, Stress free wedding
At first I didn't plan to hire a wedding coordinator for our May10th wedding. But hiring Fervent Designs was the best decision. Our wedding was beautiful and most of all stress free. Whenever I did feel overwhelmed or my nerves were on 10, Rich was available to ease my nerves and help me think clearly and rationally LOL. The added touch was having Ashley (Fervent Designs) as my right hand on the day of. I am so appreciative of all the hard work the Fervent Designs team put in. I'm ready to do it all over againLOL -

Your Last Stop!
Fervent Designs was my first and last choice! When my hubby and I met with Richandra, we knew she was the event planner for our special day by her willingness to get to know us as a couple.
During the planning process she was passionate, organize, timely, creative, and had our best interest at heart.
My husband and I schedules are so busy, we couldn't imagine planning a wedding without an event planner. Fervent Designs was a life saver. Our wedding was amazing and the staff was so attentive to our every need!
Don't hesitate to hire this God sent company....
Thanks again Fervent Design!

Couldn't have done it without Fervent Designs. You made the impossible possible.
We were referred to Richandra through a close friend. At first we were skeptical about having a wedding planner, because we are military and currently reside in Virginia. But we were both from the Houston area and had to have our wedding in Houston. When i tell you, this team was 10/10 on everything. From decor, to food, to having everything on a strict schedule, our wedding and reception was PERFECT!!!! We only made 1 trip to Houston to pick out the reception venue about 10 months before our wedding date. Everything else was handled by Richandra and her amazing team. We had monthly, bi-weekly, and weekly skype meetings to go over plans all the way up until the wedding day. All i have to say is if it wasn't for Fervent Designs, i have no clue how we would have accomplished half the things they made happen for us. Thank You so much!!!! -

Dynamic Team!
We first met Richandra at the Houston Bridal Extravaganza in January of 2018. We were not looking for an event designer or day of coordinator at the time. However, when wedding decisions needed to be made and our stress levels began to rise, we remembered Richandra's warm spirit and humility - and decided to giver her a call. She met with us right away and when she began asking us questions that we would have NEVER even thought of, we knew that Fervent Designs needed to be a part of our day. From the moment that we gave FD the steering wheel to our wedding, we no longer had to worry about the details and organization of the day. She worked within our budget and was extremely honest about the things we could do without. Never did we feel pressured or uncomfortable with the idea of how we wanted our day to go.
A lot of brides talk about being stressed and nervous on the day of, but I can honestly and gratefully say that was not the case for me thanks to the FD team. They handled EVERYTHING!
Through our wedding, our friends have made connections with Fervent Designs and plan to use them for their own events.
The Fervent Designs Team will forever be in our hearts. We are truly grateful that our paths crossed! -

This review is long overdue! Our wedding was October 12, 2018 and Richandra was our Coordinator. Let me tell you, she was nothing less than Amazing! She made everything run so smoothly, kept us organized, decorated, and did so much more. The Fervent Designs team was incredible and my husband and I are so happy we chose Fervent Designs to help us with our special day. Richandra's skills when it comes to planning and coordinating events are undeniable and she really is the Best of the Best!
I truly had a great experience working with Fervent Designs and I highly recommend this business to anyone who is planning a wedding or event. -

Life savers for a destination wedding
Richandra Nickerson-Ukpong and the Fervent Designs team were a huge help to my husband and I during the planning of our destination wedding. With every hiccup, the Fervent Designs team was ready, willing, and able to find a resolution to any issue that landed in our path. Richandra promised me from the start that she had our backs throughout the entire process and she most definitely delivered - from the planning process to onsite coordination the day of the wedding. I’m so glad that I chose Fervent Designs to handle the details of our wedding. I now have an experienced event planner to help with future events and I also gained a friend in the process. I highly recommend Fervent Designs for all your event planning needs!!! -

Precise and Organized
I met Richandra at one of the wedding showcases and I immediately loved her professionalism and energetic spirit. We decided to hire Richandra for our day of coordination. Everyone jokes that I’m super organized and precise, however Richandra definitely has me beat. Her coordination made it possible for me to truly enjoy our day! -

Outstanding personal service and value
Richandra and team are exceptional. She will execute YOUR vision, and if you need inspiration, she can provide that also. My wife and I met her at the Houston wedding expo, and we felt immediately at ease with her when we first met. She showed us her copious detailed checklists of tasks that we had to get done in the 6 weeks before our wedding, and she provided a technology platform to maintain the lists and keep communication flowing. We had at least one meeting per week - the days did fly by - somehow we managed to get everything arranged.
I would recommend to start working early with her, as she has excellent vendor contacts and recommendations. Sometimes she can even negotiate a special discount! We ended up using many of the same vendors that she works with - but finalized some of them before meeting her. Quality and service are a priority with Richandra and her team.
She planned and executed our rehearsal dinner also - and she provided beautiful and elegant decorations and engaging activities for our guests.
On the wedding day, I was able to relax knowing that Fervent Designs was on top of everything and that everything was going to go smoothly.
I cannot say enough positive comments about Richandra and her team - I only wish we would have contracted with her sooner. Nevertheless, all of our guests were thoroughly impressed with her, and everyone spoke highly of her team and work. Richandra not only wants to ensure that your day is perfect, but she also wants to be involved in your life and in your wedding.
Work with Fervent Designs, and you won't regret it! -

Fervent Designs gave me and my husband the wedding of our dreams on our budget. Richandra assisted me through the entire process and left no stone unturned. Our day was so beautiful, more than we could have ever imagined. I would give Fervent Designs 10 out of 10....They were professional, budget friendly and the quality was amazing......we are truly blessed to have had Fervent Designs as apart of the beginning of our beautiful marriage. -

Choosing to work with Richandra from Fervent designs was the best decisions we ever made. Without her and her staff we would not have been able to have our dream wedding. We literally gave her about 3 months to plan our wedding and she just got it done. She saved us time and money and lots of stress. She was professional and very organized. Her personality is simply the best and she treats you like family. The only thing we regret is not finding her sooner! We by chance met her at the Wedding expo in Houston and I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, because I was just looking for linens and I got so much more than I could have imagined and more with Richandra. Not only did she help us plan our wedding but she helped with the rehearsal dinner as well, getting that all set up. Overall, do yourself a favor and hire this wonderful woman to coordinate your wedding, I promise you you won't regret it!! We love you Richandra! - Magan and Jason Frederick. -

Had such a great experience with the Fervent Designs Team. Many of our key guests commented on how well Fervent Designs coordinated our wedding- from the rehearsal dinner, to keeping the wedding party informed, and having the wedding party ready AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. My wedding day was stress free, I must say. We had the unique situation where we had to reschedule our wedding due to Hurricane Harvey and it was such a smooth and anxiety free process. The entire planning process was well organized and it really helped to bring about our vision for a Nigerian and American cultured wedding; I was very picky about this. We truly enjoyed Richandra and her Fervent Designs Team. Highly recommended. -

Fervent Designs is the perfect planning team when it comes to complex event designs! My husband and I were planning a destination wedding and connecting families from two different states and Richandra and her team made our wedding weekend absolutely everything we wanted. She connected me with vendors for our everything from the welcome bags to the bridal party gifts and designed all of our decor. Any issue that arose was resolved quickly and without my involvement but always to my benefit! Richandra and her team executed multiple wedding activities in another country at a resort they hadn’t worked with before beautifully (and perfectly). I still receive compliments from our guests on how amazing our wedding was from the execution of events to the decor to the helpfulness and dedication of the entire Fervent team- we got everything we wanted for our wedding day. Thank you Fervent Designs! -

What can I say -- Richandra and her team were FANTASTIC! From the initial phone conversation, through the wedding, and now afterwards, I have nothing but great things to say! I hired Richandra for the Wedding Coordination, and she took such great care of us. Her attention to detail is unmatched. We met each week leading up to the wedding for a phone consultation and went over our "to do lists." She followed up to make sure both my tasks and her tasks were completed. Our wedding was just two weeks after hurricane Harvey hit Houston, so Stephen and I had a lot of anxiety about the venue, hotels, etc. She was with us every step of the way, even reaching out to our vendors on our behalf to get an update on the building conditions. She was clearly visible the day of the wedding, making sure we were ok. She can literally handle everything - organizing, negotiating, issue resolution, paper flower creations -- I could go on and on! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Richandra Nickerson-Ukpong! If you're a busy bride trying to plan your own wedding -- stop! Just call Fervent Designs and let them take care of everything for you! -

Thank you Fervent Designs for taking care of us! We love you!-

Thanks to Richandra Nickerson of Fervent Design, my 25th wedding anniversary celebration was a huge success! I had taken time to meticulously plan every detail of the event, and choosing Mrs. Nickerson as my "day of" coordinator was the best decision I could have made (next to marrying my husband again)! I've already booked her for my 50th birthday celebration in 2018!-

I met Richandra at a wedding showcase in early 2016. I decided to book with her after our first meeting - and I'm so glad I did! I cannot imagine working with a better wedding planner. Richandra and her team were awesome. From the planning to the execution - everything was perfect. Richandra helped us design amazing, gorgeous save-the-dates, her check-ins the month prior to the wedding were very detailed and on-point, and our wedding the day-of was more beautiful than I could have imagined. She truly coordinated everything. Her timelines were detailed and very well put together. She was on the ball on the wedding day regarding any issues that came up. She kept us on track, made sure we ate, and ensured we had a wonderful celebration. She also coordinated with all the vendors, which took a huge load off our shoulders. She even designed our flowers - and when I asked for all non-traditional blooms she was more than happy to oblige. Everything was absolutely stunning, and I can't imagine having entrusted my wedding to anyone else. Richandra is a true professional who will bring your wedding-day dreams to life. -

The Fervent designs team was amazing! They were professional, accommodating, and extremely attentive. It literally flooded during my wedding but that did not stop the team from getting everything done inside the venue and away from the venue. Richandra's organization skills are immaculate. I highly recommend and will be using Fervent designs again. -

Fervant Designs helped me plan and execute an anniversary/ birthday party for my parents. Being out of state, Richardra eliminated a lot of the stress of planning for found the perfect venue, catering company, videographer, DJ, saxophonist and decorations. My parents married in the court house 35 years ago so this event was like the wedding they never had. Without the help of Fervent Designs, I would not have been able to provide my parents with a celebration they deserved. I really appreciate Richandra and her staff. -

Richandra and her team were beyond AMAZING!! I found her at a wedding expo and I knew the moment I spoke to her that she was perfect for the event I was working on. Her knowledge and determination for my good friend's, Lizbeth & Ever's backyard wedding was more than I could ask for. She made my job easier and I looked like a superstar!! If your planning for any kind of event, don't think twice about your event planning needs and services. She is worth every dollar spent!!! -

Everything was perfect! I know it may be hard to believe but there was not one hiccup. Decor was perfect, music, promptness, direction, set up, photos. Anything from A to Z was covered and might I add Fervent was hired exactly 1 week from the wedding date to make it happen and it was FLAWLESS. The team was courteous, professional, attentive, totally at my disposal and willing to do whatever it took to make our day a total success! A+++++ -

My husband and I got married June 18th 2016 and we decided to hire Richandra because when met her at a Bridal Expo earlier in the year we loved how she was so upbeat and positive she had an awesome team surrounding her and I was just drawn to her. I must say that she catered to me and my husband's every need throughout our entire wedding planning process and our wedding was a complete success because of her!! Of there was anything we needed she had suggestions and vendors! We were not stressed out we had no worries at all!! She was able to coordinate our wedding of over 300 guests with ease everyone spoke her praises as well as her team regarding how professional and awesome they are. There's nothing but great things that I can say about Richandra and Fervent Designs! If you want the best you have to get the best and Richandra and Fervent Designs is the absolute best! She and her company now have a permanent planning job in our lives for all of our life events from this moment on! We have had the BEST experience that we could of had with her and we wish her all the best because she is the best wedding planner that Houston has to offer thank you again Richandra and Fervent Designs We love you always!!!! -

Richandra came in with 2 weeks until our wedding and quickly put together all of our details and worked through every thing. It took a huge weight off my shoulders and was nice to have someone who was able to do last minute things for me. I was already so busy and so stressed and she made it a much more enjoyable last 2 weeks! -

Truly amazing team for a special day
Rich and the whole team are the best! We hired her on later in our planning process with little to nothing really finalized. She helped guide us in every way possible even with our wedding in Austin. She is great at telling you what needs to be done and never made me feel overwhelmed or anxious for anything. Also being a one stop shop we used fervent for almost everything except food & photo/video. This really helped us get to where we needed to be within our timeline. Day of was amazing too! With all the team there and rich knowing exactly what and where I needed to be I felt very confident and comfortable the whole day. My love goes out to every single person who made our wedding the best day possible! Truly a family when working with the fervent designs team.-

The Wedding G.O.A.T.
This review is long overdue, but we’ve been so busy that life is just now settling down.
We used Fervent Designs for our wedding this past September, and it was a wonderful experience! Rich did one of my groomsman’s weddings in 2018, and I told her then she would be doing mine, too. Even though we booked Fervent Designs 15 months before our wedding, Rich was there monthly, letting us know our timeline and what we needed to do. Rich had a vendor for everything from booking the venue to the caterer, the cake, decorations, and anything else you might need for a wedding. She was very patient with us because, Lord knows, we kept missing deadlines on her calendar. As time got closer and we needed to make last-minute changes, Rich was right there with us, working it out as if it was the plan from the beginning. Finally, we got to our BIG day, and everything went off without a hitch! The entire day flowed beautifully, and if anything went wrong, I still don’t know because Fervent Designs took care of it. The assistant that my wife got, Bee, was also a lifesaver! She was there from the beginning to the end, helping my bride with her dress by lacing it up and making little adjustments so she could enjoy the night. The only constructive criticism I could give is that we would’ve liked to get our pricing for decorations a little sooner than we did. We were able to pull it off and get it taken care of, but once we found out the price, it was a scramble. I will say make sure you ask questions you need the answers to well before you need them. We had so much going on we didn’t bother to ask too many questions, and I believe that’s why decorations sent us scrambling. Nonetheless, I still recommend Fervent Designs to anyone looking for a wedding or event coordinator/planner. -

The Fervent Designs team really helped my stressed wife-to-be!
I'm grateful for all the things Rich was able to take off my wife's plate. She was a lifesaver for her! My bride didn't have any wedding day worries and we had the time of our lives. Thanks to Rich and the whole team! -

In the beginning my husband was hesitant about getting a wedding planner but we are both so glad we had the team on our wedding day! The to-do list kept me on track and I was able to ask for help with whatever I needed! The weekly meetings the month before the wedding ensured me things would go smoothly the day of the wedding and they did! -

Nothing but excellence and nothing short of it
My experience was nothing short of excellent. Richandra was in control the entire time, very professional and stopped a disaster from happening (prevented a guest from giving a drunken speech 😮). She guided us every step of the way until the day of the wedding. A lot of funny moments in the wedding but it was all handled with class and grace. A true professional. Shout to Rich! -

Disastrous Wedding Day
I strongly suggest NOT using Fervent Designs wedding planning or their DJ services. Wedding Day execution is the most important aspect of the entire lengthy process and Fervent left us with a day of painful, humiliating memories and chaos that my husband and I will unfortunately have to live with forever. The following dreadful details were shared with Fervent’s owner, Richandra, and to which her response was either an excuse or I’m sorry. I can’t have a re-do of my wedding day so this review is intended to save other couples from a heartbreaking experience.
Where do I start with the list of EVERYTHING that went totally left of our expectations?
1. A precious moment in our ceremony (planned and rehearsed) was to have our 94-year-old grandmother get up and place the ceremonial broom at our feet. This was destroyed because Richandra’s team member (who was never mentioned before the wedding day) abruptly interrupted the ceremony by walking down the center aisle and snatched the broom from grandmother. We were horrified and stunned while this happened in front of ALL of our guests. Grandmother was heartbroken and there was nothing I could do to give her back that moment.
2. Richandra gathered all our guests after the ceremony and gave an unsolicited 10 minute speech plugging her business and personal couples advice while my husband and I stood there in disbelief. It was so incredibly unprofessional, awkward, and humiliating that our wedding planner took the microphone and center stage for herself! My family said they saw the horror on my face.
3. The Fervent team Richandra brought on the wedding day was very unprofessional. Our wedding was a black-tie event and her team came dressed unprofessionally in faded shirts, jeans, tennis shoes, even pink crocs! They sorely stood out. Catering team, bar tenders etc. were all in uniform. Fervent’s team was rude & bossy to guests, were caught drinking from the bar and eating on the dance floor!
4. Richandra, Fervent’s owner, danced on the dance floor during the reception as if she was a wedding guest herself. Completely unprofessional and our guests absolutely noticed this. To add insult to injury, she did not execute table and chair placements around the dance floor as we strategically planned, which left my guests awkwardly standing all evening.
5. Fervent’s DJ services we additionally paid for was HORRIBLE. I gave him an entire playlist of music choices/songs in addition to things NOT to play (sexual/booty rap). He did the exact opposite. Didn’t play songs from list but instead played music I strategically told him not to! He was playing an inappropriate sexual song at the introduction of my father-daughter dance. So embarrassing! He completely killed the vibe I planned for our reception by playing music that did not fit our guests demographics. DJ was a waste of money.
6. Richandra enlisted a “hype” man to be on the microphone and dance floor during our reception and this was never discussed during planning. This hype man (also dressed unsuitably for a black-tie event in t-shirt & orange tennis shoes) was on a college-party level. Yelling in the mic at us (bride & groom) to get up and dance, yelling at the guests to do this and that. I was so humiliated!
All of the above ultimately led me to go hide in the bathroom and cry the rest of the night. My cousin had to convince me to come out and say goodbye to everyone. Please choose from other wedding planning companies to avoid a disastrous wedding day. I’m still processing and trying to get over it.

Pros: Great planning ahead of time. Detailed itinerary. Great communication. Very personable. Flexible price
Cons: Bad attitude with us multiple times. Mostly everything the day of the wedding that was In the control of Fervent designs that could go wrong did. It was so many I cant list even half of them.
- My aisle runner did not get rolled out. Richandra couldn't figure out how to during the actual wedding and my mom did it with no effort after the wedding. The door was open so the guests saw me and then them trying to unroll it.
-I had to in the middle of the wedding ask for my bouquet to toss because they forgot to get it and said they had to find it 5 minutes before it was time to toss.
- No one came to tell us when we needed to be dressed during the actual day of how many minutes we had left. They showed up, I asked are we supposed to be dressed now? I have no watch. I was told, youre late. No prior warning.
- We pre-packed flower girl petals and told them where they were, they weren't put out and prepared before the wedding.
- Fervent designs forgot to announce there were party favors as planned so hundreds of dollars was thrown in the trash
- We weren't aware that we were supposed to cut the bottom of the cake, and that was our fault, but paying a coordinator I would believe that they would let you know. No one did. We cut it wrong.
-Our itinerary was tight we were supposed to be in certain places at certain times. I asked if they would let us know when we needed to do what, that was only done maybe 5/20 times, so we were just standing there awkwardly at points.
These were just a few problems. There were so many more huge issues. Even guests noticed. Prior prep was great. Wedding was a MESS. -

STAY AWAY!!! Everyone must know!!! Do not waste your money! My wedding is already stressful enough, this has only added To it. Sooo many problems with just the invitations and programs, I can only imagine the poor quality of work that would be given by being a wedding coordinator. thanks to Fervent Designs I had to claim the amatuer quality of unfinished work, that was full of unfulfilled promises. I'm so disappointed and out money that she will not refund even though I just wanted to part ways after seeing the program draft that were even worse than the invitations. I had to scramble a few days before my wedding to find someone to help. -
