    Outstanding!

    Blake and his team are the best in the industry, hands down. We booked him for a full wedding package. He made sure everything was perfect for us. During the planning process, he was always easy to reach and very patient with our many questions. He was super communicative throughout the entire engagement period. He gave great recommendations for vendors too. Even if we decided to go with other vendors, he was extremely professional and took everything in-stride. He was highly organized: he kept detailed notes for all our requests and meetings and ensured we were always aware of how things were progressing by using a Trello board, which was extremely assuring! I’m a Type A perfectionist, so I was worried about leaving everything in someone else’s hands but it was SO SO easy to relax because I knew he was taking care of it. I couldn’t recommend a more competent wedding planner. If you’re on the fence or even just starting your search for a wedding planner, I can confidently say your search is done! You found the best! Blake and his team won’t let you down!

    A joy to work with!

    I worked with Blake recently at a stunning wedding he planned in Santa Fe, NM. His attention to detail, proactive communication skills and organization skills made it a joy for me as a photographer to work with him and run things smoothly. The entire thing was amazing!

    Highly recommend!

    We had the pleasure of working with Blake, TJ, and Frida on wedding day (and the 2 weeks leading up to it).
    From start to finish, they executed everything flawlessly, ensuring every detail was just as we envisioned. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and coordination skills were exceptional. They made wedding day stress-free and magical, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment!
    I highly recommend this team for anyone seeking high quality wedding coordination services.

    Simply the best

    Smartest thing I did when planning my daughter's wedding was hiring Occasions Events & Designs. Alex and Blake were just so sweet, helpful, and resourceful. Loved everything about their service.

    Blake is Amazing!

    Blake was absolutely amazing! He was my best friend through everything. He made sure I had everything I needed leading up to my wedding day. If anything went wrong during the wedding my husband and I didn’t know. He was professional, courteous, attentive, and thorough. I would HIGHLY recommend him ❤️

    Oed is the best!

    My husband and I had a fantastic experience with the Occasions Events and Design team! We mainly worked with Blake Herrera, who I can't say enough amazing things about. He took a very complex and stressful wedding planning experience and made it achievable, while prioritizing our vision and our happiness. I loved how he started each call with "What is stressing you out? What can I take off of your plate?"

    They provide a lot of services in-house as well (can make signs, design and print stationary, rentals for centerpieces, floral arrangements, etc.) which is way more efficient than looking for a different vendor for each thing you need AND great quality as well. If you're thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator - give this company a call! Don't walk, RUN! :)

    We loved working with occasions!

    Blake and his team were so organized and kept us on track the entire night. They were also able to make my sweetheart table and wedding boutique dreams come to life! They were both more beautiful than I could of imagined. Look no further as Blake and his team strive to make all your visions come true!!

    Excellent customer service!

    I absolutely adore Blake, TJ and Shae from occasions. From the week before my wedding to the day of my wedding, they made sure I had everything in place. I never had to want or ask for anything, because TJ made sure everything was done and done beautifully. I honestly feel like she made my wedding! Thank you so much!!

    A Blessing!

    Blake and his amazing team were recommended by the venue at Hollow Hills Event Center and we are forever grateful! We were forced to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and there is no way we would have moved through the occasion as gracefully without Blake. This team is super attentive, responsive and amazingly organized which not only made the wedding beautiful, the wedding party was able to enjoy the festivities knowing the folks at Occasions Events & Design were all over the details! A great find and a pleasure to work with for sure!

    Cynthia and Ozzy’s wedding

    Hiring OED was the best thing I could have done for our wedding. Not to have to worry about decor and the actual day itself was truly amazing, we were able to enjoy the entire day. Blake and his team were a dream to work with and reassured me everything was going to be perfect and it was! Truly made our day memorable and stress free!

    Could not have asked for more. Amazing!

    Blake was invaluable! His experience and calm when things got crazy was absolutely amazing. My flowers were pure perfection, the ceremony and reception went smoothly and without him the set up portion would have taken twice as long. I highly recommend Blake to help make your special day perfect.

    Occassions is the best!

    Blake and Katie were the two most helpful people at my wedding! They were absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond my wildest dreams! I was able to relax and enjoy my day and trust that they had everything covered! I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job! I could go on and on!

    Plummer Wedding

    A close friend referred Blake to my family. Instantly, I knew that he would be great as he was from our hometown Burkburnett. Blake was able to bring our vision to life. At first , I thought fresh flowers would be out of our budget. However, I am so glad that we chose the fresh flowers. They looked amazing. The toss bouquet was even beautiful. Blake works with All budgets and his work is prestine. Thank you Blake!!! We love you.

    Occasions and our planner, Blake, were wonderful to work with and answered a ton of questions! The reception was a joyous occasion free from stress thanks to Occasions! We would definitely recommend them! Hiring them was the best decision we made!

    Absolutely Perfect

    I can't say enough good things about Occasions Events and Design to make anyone understand how amazing they are! Short story...HIRE THEM!!! Long story...Blake was our wedding coordinator and he absolutely far exceeded our expectations. He worked through every single aspect of our wedding with us and handled it with professionalism, expediency, and care. He provided us references for vendors, contract review services, task management, excellent communication and so much more. Planning our wedding was so much fun and was incredibly easy because I had Blake to oversee everything. The Occasions team ensured that we had the prefect wedding day and I can't thank them enough for all of their hard work. From start to finish it was the most wonderful experience working with Blake and Occasions Events and Design.

    Fantastic team

    I cannot say enough good things about Blake and his team! I hired them for month-of planning services, but they were there throughout the process to consult as needed. We had to deal with major storms that flooded several streets near our venue, but Blake, Katie, and TJ made sure that everything arrived safely and on time--by the time I arrived, setup was running along smoothly, and I never would have known that they had been running through downpours to make it happen. Blake knew that an outdoor ceremony was important to us, so once it looked like the rain would let up in time, they reset the ceremony outside and made sure that everything was absolutely perfect. From the major work of setting up and breaking down, to the tiny things like re-pinning a few stray pieces from my hair and helping with some makeup issues, Blake, Katie, and TJ didn't miss a detail. The ability to just be present on my wedding day, knowing that there was a team who could handle just about anything, meant so much.

    Alex G. was the wedding coordinator assigned to me for our "week of planning coordinator." She was very easy to get in touch with and such a likable person. She helped with every single detail, kept us on schedule, and was a professional coordinating all of the vendors prior to the event. Alex was a lifesaver and a great person. I highly recommended her without any reservations

    Words can not express how wonderful Blake and his team were throughout the whole process. I hired Blake for his month of services for my wedding, and my only mistake was not hiring him for the entire time! As soon as the month hit he was in constant contact with me and I did not have a stress in the world! People kept asking me why I wasn't stressed, and I kept saying it is because I have Blake! He was able to suggest vendors for me to use, since I am not from this area. Blake organized all the vendors schedules, took care of ALL set up and tear down at the venue. It was absolutely amazing! I will definitely be using him again in the future and suggest all others do as well!!

    At first I wasn’t planning on hiring a planner or coordinator, but as the wedding got closer I began to get overwhelmed and new I’d need someone I could trust to make the day run smoother. I’m so glad I found Blake with Occasions Events + Design for my day-of coordinator! He fit my tight budget, and even had a discount for the venue I got married at. The day of he did everything from running my morning of rehearsal, to setting up my decorations, to making sure my new husband and I got food. It was so nice not having to direct everything myself, and if there were any problems during the day, I didn’t hear about it!

    I do not have enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation for Blake, Alex and the entire Occasions DFW team! Without a doubt, hiring Occasions DFW was the best decision I made for my Wedding day. Flawless execution and above and beyond service from day one through to literally the last few minutes of our special day. What could have been a catastrophe when our getaway car did not show up turned out to be just fine when Alex stepped in and no questions asked, personally drove us nearly 2 hours to our hotel. I will forever be grateful to the team for their attention to detail, passion for their job and contribution to ensuring our day was absolutely perfect. You will NOT regret hiring Blake and his team.

    We hired Blake for Month of planning. He made the last month less stressful. The wedding day was perfect and our timeline and requests were all taken care of. His assistant TJ was great and helped take care of everything. Anytime I needed help with anything whether it was taking care of my dress, changing, or needing coffee, she was there. I could have asked for a better team!

    What can we say?! Blake and his team helped create the wedding of our DREAMS! We cannot say enough good things about Occasions Event Design DFW! From our very first meeting, we felt confident that Blake could execute our vision for the wedding. He was always helpful throughout the entire process and replied almost immediately to our e-mails and questions. He helped our wedding officiant (one of our friends) prepare for our ceremony including helping with a draft script as well as reading our personalized vows. Blake even met us about a month before the wedding for a planning meeting when he had the flu! Talk about dedication! Blake and his team were invaluable the day of the wedding -- they took our instructions and decorations and created a gorgeous venue. He walked us through each step of our wedding and we literally didn't have to lift a finger! We couldn't be more happy and appreciate of Blake and his team. THANK YOU!!!
