    Thank you SAE!

    I hired SAE (Event Management package so 45 days out + day-of) for our Feb '22 wedding and worked with Danielle who we absolutely LOVED. She single-handedly kept me out of the looney bin in the last few weeks leading up to the wedding and made our event totally seamless. She went on a wild goose chase for this random table I was obsessed with (and found it!), had a great sense of humor during our venue walkthroughs and Zoom calls (I lived in Dallas but wedding was in San Antonio), and helped me tie up all the loose ends that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. She always made me feel like I was the priority and made sure I wasn't compromising my vision of the day just because something might be easier for vendors, etc., and I was able to relax on the day without a second-guess that she had everything under control. My mother-in-law still talks about how much she loved her :) Thank you, Danielle, for being genuine and fun and wonderful at your job!!

    Incredible energy

    Amber was truly one of the most amazing wedding planners I’ve ever worked with. I have assisted her on multiple weddings and her ability to task organize, adapt to any situation, stay positive, and execute such beautiful work goes truly unmatched. As I am new to the industry, She went out of her way to ensure I new exactly what to do and when to do it. All brides, families, vendors, and venue owners are always full of joy when working with her. Amber is a great asset to Sweet August and they have done an awesome job letting her grow in the industry. Any bride that chooses her will have such a smooth and great experience. They always go above and beyond!

    Memorable & Meaningful

    My wedding was always a day I dreamt of and looked forward to with my family, especially my mom. Of course we wanted it to be fabulous but even more so a meaningful, genuine and a god centered occasion. When considering wedding planners we looked for someone that was fun and grounded so they could bring to life that type of occasion. During the pandemic we met with Katherine, and almost instantly could tell she would not be simply a planner but treat us like family. Evenmoreso you could tell she was more than qualified for the job. She managed our expectations, brought to life dreams and ensured all was taken care of… even when we thought a wedding may not happen or masks would be required. Looking back I can tell you that my wedding would not have been so meaningful or memorable without the Sweet August Events team. Their connections and reputation across the industry are unparalleled. They don’t just want to create an impression but a lasting memory for all. At the end of the day in an industry where there’s a lot of wannabes Katherine & SWA are the real deal. My only complaint is that it all flew by too fast and we aren’t still swapping phone calls & texts about wedding details.

    Wedding Magic

    Our wedding planning journey literally began with me proposing to my now wife during the spring break before all heck broke loose. Katherine began helping with our wedding planning at the same time that she was having to reschedule, or in some cases replan other weddings. This was difficult for us to understand at first, but I assure you once the process got further along and our dates were priorities, she worked her tail off to ensure we were happy and taken care of. Her venders and colleagues were all tremendous and it made it abundantly clear that good character builds good company. On the day of the wedding she was strong and capable which also helped her to be a calming presence both pre ceremony and into the evening. For anyone on the fence about the value of her assistance, I assure you it was well worth the piece of mind throughout. And guys, I have to admit, I very frugal, but dang was this the most elegant looking event I’ve ever been apart of. Katherine knocked it out of the park with the décor. I felt like a Rockefeller. Thank you Katherine, for everything.

    I don’t even know where to begin other than saying that KATHERINE IS THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER IN THE WORLD!! I got engaged in late December 2016 while living in Chicago and booked a wedding date for September 2017 in Gruene, TX. The idea of planning a destination wedding in under a year had me stressed but Katherine completely soothed my fears! Even from the first time I spoke with her on the phone, I knew she was a professional. Everyone kept asking me throughout the planning process if I was stressed and my answer was ALWAYS no because I knew Katherine had everything under control! Even the weeks right before the wedding I was stress-free! I gave Katherine my vision and she delivered 100%; she knew things I would like before I did. She knows all the best vendors and made the process so enjoyable and exciting for my fiancé and I. For instance, she arranged meetings with many of our vendors when we were visiting TX; so helpful!! So many of our guests said everything was absolutely perfect and gorgeous and it’s all thanks to her! On top of planning everything, she also did all of our flowers and they were BEAUTIFUL! I had an idea of what I wanted but let her take the wheel. I didn’t know exactly what the bouquets would look like but they were seriously exactly what I had wanted! She is SO GOOD at planning weddings and I can’t imagine my wedding without her! She is the sweetest, positive, and most creative person!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    I was referred to Sweet August Events by a friend of mine when thinking about hiring a wedding planner. I wasn't 100% sure I wanted a planner but after meeting with Kathryn and Deidra I knew they were the team we needed for our wedding! Deidra was the head coordinator for our wedding and let me just tell you...She was AAAAMAZING to work with. She was so patient, sweet and informative when it came to choosing a theme, vendors and every the little detail we made to make our wedding a dream come true.

    We chose the 45 day out package. I was a little hesitent at first when we first signed the contract, but Deidra was very helpful between the day we signed and the 45 day mark. She provided great vendor list and information when we requested it. But let me tell you, when that 45 day mark hit, Deidra was on a roll! She was on top of every detail big and small, vendor communication and every follow up possible. She was so detailed and organized which was a huge plus when we met. She even had ALL of my vendors at our venue walk through, which was helpful for everyone to know what to expect the day of.

    Another plus was that Deidra was assisted the day of our wedding by Molly who was sweet has could be and very helpful the whole night!

    Long story short...I would highly recommend SAE! Their whole team has great style, ideas, are organized and most importantly very sweet! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing, it truly was everything we wanted plus more!! Definitely request Deidra if you can :)

    Sweet August Events were my day planners for my wedding on August 5, 2017 at Kendall Plantation and they were INCREDIBLE! They prepared a timeline, set up all of my decor, and coordinated with every single vendor. They came to my rehearsal AND ceremony (even though the ceremony was 25 minutes from the reception) and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of my wedding. They constantly kept asking me and my husband if we needed anything and were bringing us water and our favorite alcoholic beverages the entire night. Even though I didn't use them as my full time planner, if you just take a look at any of their social media accounts you can see how INSANELY talented they are at wedding planning - their style is elegant yet eclectic and is amazing! Janell and Katherine (the owner) were nothing short of amazing for my big day and I highly recommend using Sweet August Events for your wedding or event!

    Katherine and her team were amazing and made our magical evening the best!! She is energetic, super organized, efficient, calm, and always ready for anything! We are so grateful for her service and she made our event one to remember! Her husband Chris, did our videography as well, and he was incredible. The two of them are such a dynamic team and got the job done but made it fun and stress free! We highly recommend Sweet August Events and Squinted Cinema!

    Deidra did an excellent job as our "month of" coordinator. She is very professional with a sweet and friendly personality. It's important to connect on a personal level with your coordinator as she will conduct the entire event from start to finish and she'll be the contact point for all the other vendors during the final weeks approaching the event date. Deidra was available for several meetings and went on a site visit to the Paniolo Ranch with my daughter and I and our florist to work out logistics for the ceremony and reception. She was always quick to respond to phone calls, texts, and emails. She is also exceptionally talented at calligraphy as well, and did a beautiful job on several chalkboards for us. Her calm demeanor was an added plus, especially on the day of the wedding! You will not be disappointed if you choose Deidra to coordinate/plan your wedding! Thank you, Deidra, for helping to make my daughter's wedding a night to remember!

    There's so much to say about Katherine and her team. As I began the wedding process, I was new to San Antonio and did not know how to navigate the planning process. That's when SAE stepped in and made all my dreams come true. Their attention to detail, experience and relationships with fabulous vendors are great! But their passion for family, love for what they do, and their sincerity makes them second to none. Throughout the process, my fiancé and I felt they were not only committing to making our wedding a success, but also helping us to build a strong foundation for a marriage. We were so pleased with their work! They do not disappoint!

    Katherine Lopez with Sweet August events was an absolute blessing to our wedding! You can't bring a "problem" to Katherine... she remains calm in every situation and has a solution for everything. It is unbelievable! She also did the flowers for our wedding, which was absolutely perfect! So much talent, great service and the perfect wedding planner to lead the way. Seriously, the best investment you can make for your big day. I recommend Sweet August Events without even a tad of reservation. Thank you!!!

    One of the best wedding decisions we made was hiring Sweet August Events. Even after our very first conversation, I could tell that we were incredibly lucky to have found Reba to be our day-of coordinator!

    As a Pinterest-loving photographer, I had a pretty specific vision for our wedding, but I wanted to hand over the logistics on the day of the ceremony so that I could actually be present and enjoy the day with my husband. What I didn't realize was that in hiring Reba as our day-of coordinator, we were also getting a wedding planner for the final two weeks before the ceremony. After I met with her to hand over all of my planning documents, she went straight to work preparing a detailed timeline for us, contacting vendors, and squaring away details. I had been dreading having to follow up with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, but Reba did that for me. She just worked her behind-the-scenes magic and everything fell into place, despite having to move to our Plan B due to torrential rain.

    I could tell that Reba totally understood the style I was going for, and she was lightning fast with communication at all times! No matter what time I texted her, I would receive a reply back within seconds. Seriously, I don't know how she did it! She was so patient with all of my requests. On the day of the wedding, she anticipated all of the helpful details needed for things to run seamlessly. It was like we had a personal wedding coach with us at all times! She taught us how to walk down the aisle, showed us the easy way to cut the cake, and gave us tips for our confetti exit. She was always one step ahead of us, solving problems before they became problems.

    We are SO grateful that she helped make our wedding the best day ever, and we wholeheartedly recommend hiring Sweet August Events!

    Janell at Sweet August was amazing to work with! She was very helpful with the questions we had and was very organized; making sure the wedding timeline was kept and all questions ran thru her. Having Janell at the wedding and not having to worry about the little things is what made the day even more special. :)

    Reba and Katherine are true professionals and made our wedding day unforgettable! They took the time to get to know me as the bride and understand the vision that I had for our wedding & then made it come to LIFE! Our day was truly unforgettable and breath-taking. Reba went out of her way to make our day stress free and amazing. I wish we could do our big day all over again! It was unbelieveable!!

    Thank you to Reba, Katherine and Shelby for their help making it all come true that day.

    I highly recommend Sweet August Events!

    I wish I could put a 6 on some of these ratings. Kathrine was able to make our wedding planning significantly easier and saved my butt more than once on the day of! I am extremely glad that we were able to have her take care of us at one of the most important days of our lives. These girls are willing to go through any adversity to make this day special for you to the point that you wont even notice they are there running the show. Nothing phases them and they will handle any even with pride for their name! Thank you so much for your services.

    We hired Reba to be our full wedding coordinator for our wedding in New Braunfels and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her! Not only did Reba pull off the wedding of my dreams, but she allowed me to be completely stress free throughout the entire process. Reba took care of absolutely everything from selecting vendors, developing the design, making DIY décor, coordinating all of the day-of activities, and everything in between.

    Reba coordinated all of the design/décor for the wedding. This included everything from working with the linen vendor to select table linens to designing centerpieces with the florist. She designed an amazing ceremony backdrop, gift table, cupcake table, and stage backdrop, using a lot of décor from the Sweet August Events warehouse (which saved a lot of $$ since we didn’t have to buy it!). I was completely blown away with the final design! She nailed the theme and made it even better than I could have imagined.

    Aside from all of the design and vendor communication, Reba also did the day-of coordination for the wedding, and again, she was an all-star! We received multiple compliments from our vendors saying that Reba was incredibly organized, which assured me she had everything under control, allowing me to enjoy the day and not stress about a thing.

    Not only did Reba coordinate and design a beautiful and stress-free wedding, but she made it personal to my husband and me. Reba genuinely cared about us and took time to incorporate personal touches to make it about us. I love frozen yogurt and when I mentioned that a froyo bar would be awesome, she did one better and found a froyo truck that drove down from Austin for our late night snack!

    If you are considering hiring a wedding coordinator, you won’t be disappointed with Reba. She is amazing at her job and you will be forever grateful that you could enjoy your wedding day, rather than stressing about all the details. Thank you for the perfect wedding Reba!

    Reba and Katharine saved my life!!! They gave me the freedom to relax on my day and I had complete faith in their ability to set up every detail just as I had envisioned it. Reba communicated with every vendor I had booked to ensure everyone was on the same page and orchestrated set-up entirely without me or anyone in my family so we could occupy our time with each other. Not only did she create reception areas I absolutely loved, she also contributed decor from Sweet August's office that made final touches really wow. I truly think Reba and Katherine are lifesavers and a must-have for brides.

    Sweet August is the ultimate wedding planner. Katherine and her team couldn't have planned my wedding any better, not to mention make my part of the job 10 times less stressful. Katherine is creative, fun, and extremely sweet. I would recommend getting the full
    package where she helps you from beginning to end, it was the best wedding decision I made! :)

    There is no way my wedding day would have been the same without Katherine. I started with the 45 day out package but Katherine came to my rescue earlier when I was feeling overwhelmed by the decisions. Every detail of my wedding was perfect and I am so grateful to her and the amazing vendors she recommended.

    I cannot even begin to say 'thank you' enough for everything that Tristan with Sweet August helped with. Not only was I fortunate enough to find an absolutely fantastic wedding planner, walking away with a beautiful wedding, I also made a great friend who saw eye to eye with me on every level!! Every detail was thought out, considered, and performed. Our wedding was such a flawless event that allowed both sets of parents to relax and enjoy the marriage of their children. Katherine was on site to help the day of the wedding and she was so sweet and wonderful. I understand what makes this company thrive - wonderful women who are respectful of your time, money and especially your vision. Working with Tristan and Sweet August was easily the best decision I made throughout the whole wedding planning process. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    First of all, ladies if your on this website considering how important it is to get a planner for your wedding let me tell you that it was the BEST decision I ever made! It truly made my wedding planning experience a million times better! Choosing Sweet August Events was the second best decision I ever made! Katherine and Tristan make an amazing team and are both such classy, caring, and remarkable women that truly put love into what they do! This is not one of those event planning businesses that creates the same generic work for everyone because every bride is unique and doesn't need that! They are so creative and really cater to what the bride needs and desires. Katherine and Tristan helped me with everything and anything. They were there for me through the whole journey, always being my rock and guidance!
    As for the actual day, words can't even begin to describe how perfect everything was and it was all thanks to my Sweet August Events planners and all the vendors they helped me choose! I have absolutely nothing to complain about! They made all my dreams come true and I know that they are the perfect choice for any bride! Trust me future brides-it will be the best choice you ever make;)

    As an out of town bride Kathrine was very helpful to point me in the right direction and very flexible with my schedule. My entire year of planning was stress free. We had constant email and phone communication and both Kathrine and Tristan were always responsive and professional. The vendors that Sweet August works with are the best of the best and are on time. On the day of my wedding Tristan did an amazing job, she had everything under control. All my guest and myself have to do was show up. I could not have had a wedding as beautiful and run as smoothly with out the help of Sweet August Events.
