Ruth helped us plan the most magical day—it was truly a dream!!! She is organized, personable, and always on top of everything. If we forgot to do something, Ruth was quick to follow up and keep us on track. She took the time to get to know us and our families, which made the entire process feel so personal and special. Ruth also has connections to many fantastic vendors, making it easy to find the perfect fit for every detail of our wedding. She made herself available at any hour to address our questions or concerns and was always patient and generous with her time. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, our wedding was absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have done it without her! -

Ruth was 10/10. We can’t even express how grateful we are of having her as our wedding planner.
We literally felt we were guests at our wedding because she took care of every detail and coordinate with all vendors.
We had a multicultural wedding between Israelis and Venezuelan and she found the way to entwined our cultures and make the best wedding that represented our cultures
Toda Raba Ruth!

We are so happy that we engaged Ruth to help us with our wedding plans. She worked with our vendors as well as offered her own and listened to our requests. Ruth is flexible, on time, creative, helpful and we really didn't have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding. It was worth every dime! -

Let us start off by saying there are no words to describe the sincere level of service, commitment, and love that Ruth provided throughout our wedding planning journey. Writing this review alone brings back so many beautiful memories of our planning time with Ruth, whether it be at a restaurant, vendor's location, or on a Skype call. Having no family close by, Ruth completely took us under her wing and made sure that each step of the way leading up to the wedding day that Rene and I were both calm and prepared to carry out what we had been planning over the course of seven months. By the time you finish reading this review, my goal is for anyone reading this to feel the love and appreciation Ruth put into our wedding as our coordinator. I would go through each stage of the wedding planning process, but then I would be told the character limit was reached.
Rene and I were skeptical seeing that we are a gay couple. While yes, this was in 2021 and amid a raging pandemic, it could be difficult finding people you felt you could trust and who were also open and understanding. We reached out to Ruth not knowing what to expect but figured why not take a leap of faith and see where this experience would guide us. Within a few hours, we received a response and were asked if we would like to have a conference call. While this calmed our nerves knowing she would not see us, we were both hesitant as we did not know what to expect. The day came for the call and just like that, there her voice came on the other end of the line. Immediately, we were embraced by a warm and kind spirit with a soothing voice. This made a world of a difference in our eyes as her personality made us feel as though we could trust and open up to her. She listened to our concepts and ideas of what we wanted our special day to be like, not just for us, but for our family and friends that would be joining us. When asked if we had specific vendors we were looking to work with, we honestly had no idea of any. No worries, she said and proceeded to make her personal recommendations of local vendors she had worked within the past. From a highly fashion-forward florist, an invitation designer, and a fantastic photographer, Ruth was spot on with her recommendations. After only meeting once with all involved, we completely hit it off and made lifelong friends. Our theme was A Royal Wedding, a night at the Adolphus Hotel. In the end, it was Ruth that made the night as spectacular as it was. I genuinely feel as though our paths were meant to cross. If you want attention paid to every detail and idea, Ruth is the coordinator for you. She is considerate in every way possible. If you want budget-specific amounts for specific areas of the wedding day, Ruth has your back. She will provide you with endless ideas that involve any price point you and your partner feel confident with. The level of detail that she puts forth into her services is out of this world and a characteristic that one can only dream of possessing. She listens and is very eager to take on the stress that comes with planning a wedding so that her couples do not have to. I have so many beautiful things to say about Ruth and her team. She is someone that I will forever be grateful to and look forward to working with her (and only her) on any future events my husband and I will host. Thank you, Ruth, for bringing my royal wedding concept to life. No words will ever describe how memorable and special you made both of us feel that day.
Love you always, Michael & Rene.

Ariella Sent on 11/30/2021Amazing Wedding
Ruth has had years of experience and helped keep us on track for what needed to happen and when. She was always flexible, meeting us wherever and whenever we wanted. She is personable and caring and made an effort to get to really get to know us while we were planning the wedding. She has many connections with other experienced and talented vendors and also had a wonderful team for the day of the wedding. All of the vendors we worked with (including some who did not yet know Ruth) said she was the most detailed planner they had ever worked with. It was clear throughout the planning process that she made our needs and wants a priority and helped us create, not only the most beautiful wedding, but an entire weekend, that was so much more than we could have ever imagined. -

Beth Sent on 11/24/2021Dream Wedding Realized Thanks to Ruth
We could not have made the wedding of our dreams for our daughter without Ruth’s help. Her commitment to our vision was complete and she was instrumental in picking fantastic vendors to help with so many aspects of the wedding, organizing our tasks and keeping us on track.
On the day of the wedding I didn’t worry about anything because I had Ruth and her team to ensure it went smoothly. We had a complicated event because we tied a whole weekend of events around the we don’t, and Ruth helped us with all of them. But on the actual wedding day I think was the day I appreciated Ruth the most! I really enjoyed my daughters wedding and we heard from so many people that it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
We could not have done it without Ruth. Thank you Ruth!!! We have the most beautiful memories now - and your professionalism and work ethic made it all possible. -

Brian Sent on 08/08/2021Ruth has you covered!
Prior to COVID, we set out to plan a 250+ person wedding from out of state. We initially chose a December date. Ruth helped us find the perfect venue that was not already booked with a holiday party for the date that we wanted. Ruth recommended amazing vendors (String Quartet, Band, Photographer, Florist, Videographer)! We had everything planned and booked...then everything changed with COVID. Ruth took care of the entire process of changing the date, resigning contracts for the venue and vendors for a future date, rebooking one of our vendors who was no longer in business. What could have been a nightmare, took very little effort for us because of Ruth.
Once we had our new date, Ruth held us to deadlines, sent us reminders, kept an up-to-date timeline of everything we needed to get done. We had limited weekends that we were able to come to Dallas and she made time in her schedule (often during nights and weekends) to meet us while we were in Dallas. When we were not able to come into town, she made herself available for Zoom calls and phone calls. She also arranged Zoom calls with our vendors to go over details in the months leading up to the wedding.
When it comes down to the details, there is no one who does it better! Some of the things that stood out to us in addition to everything we already mentioned were Ruth came to each dress fitting, Ruth arranged for Kosher meals including Kosher china and silverware for some of our guests for each meal throughout the weekend, and Ruth worked constantly with the venue and florist to make every detail of our dream wedding perfect.
From day one of planning through the day after your event, Ruth has you covered! -

It was a pleasure to work with Ruth. She is very knowledgeable about the wedding market in Dallas. She’s very organized and kept us on track throughout the entire wedding planning process. She had a lot of great ideas we never would have thought of. I attribute the success of our wedding to her. If you’re looking for an exceptional wedding planner she’s the one.

Ruth was referred to us by friends who spoke very highly of her planning skills and "day of" organizational expertise. She was available day and night for fielding our questions or offering her suggestions and advice. She has close connections with many vendors and negotiated discounts on our behalf. It felt like Ruth was a true partner in the planning of our daughter's wedding! -

We literally could not have survived our wedding without Ruth! She walked us through the whole process and created timelines for us that were updated as needed as we got closer. She was always available if we had questions. The day of the wedding everything was SEAMLESS, smooth, and perfect. It really was our dream wedding. -

We hired Ruth for her á la cart services to hire vendors and coordinate the day of our wedding. Her connections with local vendors is top notch and and she helped us make great planning decisions. On the day of the wedding, we were able to just enjoy our celebration because Ruth and her team had all of the details under control. Thank you, Ruth! -

Ruthy Sent on 08/16/2020Perfect wedding and Planner
I was planning my daughter’s wedding during the challenging,COVID-19 Pandemic and realized that I needed a partner in planning out a fairly complicated wedding. Once we were able to finalize a date, we hired Ruth. It was the best decision we made. Ruth had only 3 weeks in which to help us finalize and pull off the wedding.
We had the Perfect Wedding! It was a beautiful, intimate, and fun Wedding . We were able to share this special day with many of our family and friends on Live Stream. Ruth was able to help us coordinate all the Vendors and keep us focused on moving plans along. She was warm, knowledgeable and interested in learning what the Bride and Groom wanted. Ruth is goal oriented and pays attention to every detail. When the wrong table linens were delivered for the Reception she stayed on the phone till the company delivered the correct ones.
The Day of the Wedding ran smoothly and I was able to enjoy the wonderful celebration , knowing that Ruth was handling all the necessary details. -

Lauren Sent on 09/26/2019Perfect Wedding Day with the Perfect Planner!
Ruth was amazing! Every last detail was taken care of! She connected us with amazing vendors and was so easy to work with! If something didn't look right or feel right, she fixed it! Ruth is very detail oriented and has a great eye. The week of, she visited the hotel twice to make sure everything was perfect for our day. There was not one thing I would have changed about my wedding. Ruth made sure it was beautiful down to every last detail. And it was perfect thanks to Ruth and her team. -

Marilyn Sent on 09/22/2019Ruth was the best decision ever!
It is hard to put into words how pleased we were with Ruth Spirer. She helped us from beginning of the planning to end of the reception. She made the entire process easy as she made vendor suggestions (all were wonderful) and guided us in keeping to a timeline. She made sure that every detail was perfect. Nothing was overlooked and the bride, groom and the families were sure it was the best wedding ever because of Ruth. Her help and guidance were invaluable. She organized details we never even considered. The wedding was like a dream and we were all able to relax and enjoy knowing we had Ruth!! Our guests had a great time and it was a day we will always remember. Thanks so much, Ruth -

Ellie Sent on 09/10/2019Ruth is amazing!
There is only one word to describe our wedding: perfection; and it was all thanks to Ruth and her team. Being an out-of-town couple, it can be challenging to articulate what you want and visualize how every piece comes together. Ruth understood and captured every possible detail we imagined.
When it comes to planning a Jewish wedding, Ruth’s expertise and knowledge is unbeatable. We can't thank her enough for making our wedding weekend celebration a huge success! -

![Doris]()
Doris Sent on 07/15/2019As the mother of the bride, I had an advocate in Ruth
I contacted Ruth several months after we started planning our daughter's wedding. I asked her to help us the day of the wedding and she said she doesn't work that way. She said no one can be very helpful if they step in the day of the event. It made sense and we hired her for the last 2 months. We are so glad we did!!!
She helped with asking all kinds of questions I wouldn't have thought of, or would have thought of too close to the time of the wedding. She referred us to great vendors, who discounted their price because of their association with her. She was very responsive to all of our questions, even late at night! She was extremely helpful in collaborating with us to create a timeline that made sense for our individual needs. In addition, she was easy to work with and felt like an advocate for us. I would recommend her unequivocally. -

The MOST incredible day of my life!
...That's what everyone wants for their wedding day, right? To be able to look back and remember, not only the wedding ceremony and reception to be wonderful, but the whole wedding journey and process in its entirety, to be just as great.
Yes, my entire experience with Ruth goes beyond any person I have every worked with before. She was able to understand exactly what I wanted, was able to help me create the vision I had always dreamed of, and the knowledge she brought to every meeting allowed me to feel more than comfortable, but an ease I just can't put into words.
Trust does not come lightly, especially when it's an important event that you put such high exceptions on, but her confidence, organization, professionalism, and preparation never had me worrying for a second.
She wasn't just acting as my wedding planner, but as a woman who took the time to know all the ins and outs of what I wanted; details on literally everything... from venues, to florists, to linens, all the way to providing excellent suggestions with chair covers, and she had the ability to step back and see things I didn't even think notice or think about!
Most of all, what made her different from any other person I have ever worked with, was her genuinity and warmth in making me feel like I wasn't just another wedding to her, but that my wedding and my day meant just as much to her as it did me... Now THAT'S a wonderful feeling!
My wedding was undoubtedly THE best day of my life, and if I could, I would relive it over and over again- this wouldn't have been possible without the lovely and brilliant, Ruth Spirer!
Thank you for making my day what I had always wished it would turn out to be! Unforgettable, perfection, and beauty don't even do it justice! XOXO -

Kate Sent on 04/24/2017We hired Ruth for a partial wedding package since we had already booked a lot of our vendors when we came to her. She went above and beyond this in every way imaginable. She is extremely detailed and made sure everything went exactly as we wanted. Even though the wedding was in Fort Worth and she's based in Dallas (about an hour drive apart), she made several trips out to Fort Worth to check out and meet with the venues. She met with us numerous times prior to the wedding, and always for as long as we needed, we were never rushed. By the time the day came, she knew exactly our tastes and priorities, and we were able to hand everything over to her and just enjoy the day. It was obvious that she truly cared about us and making our day perfect. Everything at the ceremony and reception was just what we wanted (and some things even better), and went off so smoothly under her detailed direction. Every vendor she recommended was also excellent and very experienced-I felt like the vendors we got through her were of a higher caliber and experience level than I ever expected to get within our budget. Although I'm sure she could do any wedding well, her knowledge of Jewish weddings far exceeded any other planners that we met with, including other ones who specialize in Jewish Weddings. Ruth was absolutely instrumental in making sure everything was included and executed perfectly.
On the day of the wedding she brought 2 assistants who were both wonderful as well. We didn't have to lift a finger or think about a thing and were able to just enjoy it. We knew we were in excellent hands with Ruth. Ruth and her team really exceeded our already high expectations and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner, whether from start to finish, or partial like us. You will not regret it. -

She helped make our Jewish wedding the perfect blend of traditional and modern. Our wedding day was seamless and stress free thanks to her organization. She found us the perfect vendors for our needs. We couldn't have been happier with the way the wedding day turned out. We have her to thank for our perfect day.
