Destination Wedding Details

We hired Rosa from Austin Wedding Planners for our wedding in July 2016. We chose to do the Extended Wedding Advisor package, and it was worth every penny! We were planning our Austin wedding from Connecticut, and I don’t think we could have pulled it off without Rosa’s excellent support. Rosa was very accessible by email and phone call, and helped accommodate our needs by meeting with vendors when we couldn’t be there. Rosa really knows the Austin wedding scene, and her vendor recommendations were spot on! Her experience working in the wedding industry allowed us to save time searching for the right caterer, venue, bakery, florist, etc. Rosa was very detail oriented and we discussed every aspect of the wedding to make sure it went just as we had envisioned. We wanted our wedding to be a great party for us and our families, and it was everything we had hoped for, thanks to Rosa’s planning assistance and her flawless coordination on the wedding day! Rosa and her staff were working hard for us, and we got to enjoy our wedding, 100% stress free!

We hired Rosa as a day-of-coordinator for our wedding and she did an absolutely amazing job! Although she was a day-of-coordinator, she worked with us before the wedding as well. She was able to get all of our vendor's contacts and she made sure that they were all updated with new plans etc. She also created a very organized and detailed itinerary. We had a few in-depth sessions where we went over every single detail so that she could create this. We also had a run-through session with her and the caterer so we could plan where we wanted everything to go. Every vendor and every single person in the wedding was sent the itinerary and I truly believe her detailed organization and this itinerary made the wedding run so smoothly. I have a tendency to get stressed, but on the day of the wedding I didn't feel stressed at all! As far as I am concerned, everything was absolutely perfect that day and there were no hiccups! I will never forget the moment my husband and I walked into the reception area for the first time. We were blown away. I couldn't believe how beautiful everything was and how all my ideas came together. I know Rosa made sure everything was perfectly placed. That day, we got married at St. Mary's Cathedral and Rosa was able to make sure that we were all set there while our reception at The Texas Federation of Women's Club Mansion was also getting set up. During the reception, she did an amazing job at discreetly coming up to me to notify me what time it was and if I was ready to start the next part of the reception. She was also with us the day before at the rehearsal and made sure that everyone was aware of where they needed to be and what they needed to do. It's hard to believe that my mom and I had originally thought we could do it all without a wedding coordinator. We needed Rosa and she did it! If I went back in time I would definitely choose Rosa again. She is so detailed, very conscious of etiquette and really wants to make it a beautiful day that celebrates your marriage. Thank you so much Rosa!!!

When my daughter—who lives in Austin—asked me to “help” plan her wedding, I panicked. Let’s just say this request was complicated in many ways, the least of which being that I live on the East Coast. The one really, REALLY critical piece of advice I picked up from all the “how-to” resources? Hire a wedding planner/ coordinator! Planning a wedding—regardless of size or budget—is an endless series of decisions and hiring Rosa Gibson of Austin Wedding Planners, turned out to be the BEST decision we made. Her many years working within the Event/Wedding Planning industry made her an obvious choice, but it was Rosa’s gracious and enthusiastic attitude—a mainstay from the first phone contact to the final congratulatory hug at the end of a Perfect Wedding Day—that sold me. AWP’s “Day/month-of-services" provided everything we needed to coordinate all the moving pieces. Rosa was readily available to offer advice or address concerns through frequent contact in the months and days leading up to the wedding. Rosa’s recommendations of vendors were “spot on” given our budget and a handful of very specific requests from the bride and groom (i.e., dietary needs, etc.) In fact, every vendor we interviewed, even a few we found through our own research, commented on their eagerness to work with AWP based on previous experience. The wedding/reception was a small (70 guests), non-traditional, mid-week, mid-afternoon affair attended by a diverse mix of local friends and out-of-town family. Everything went seamless. Everyone had a great time. The bride & groom were ecstatic. And I was completely chill. Rosa promised a beautiful wedding and she delivered!

Rosa and AWP were amazing. We hired Rosa as a wedding advisor about 2 months out to help with preparation before the wedding to make sure the “day of” was executed flawlessly. Rosa met all of our expectations. She is very knowledgeable in event planning and the wedding industry. She was a great resource for vendor recommendations to help us stay in budget, knew what details needed to be decided and finalized before the big day, and prepared a detailed timeline to help us prepare for our wedding day. She was essential in the planning process and made sure that as we got closer to our wedding day we wouldn’t be running around to get things in order. She was always available to talk either via email/text/phone. What was great is she always took the initiative to complete the next task for our wedding. I never had to approach her to make sure something was getting done because she was already on it. As we got closer to our wedding day, she was great at communicating with all of our vendors to make sure they had all of the necessary information. Our wedding day ran smoothly all thanks to Rosa and AWP. I didn’t have to worry about a thing during our wedding. I knew Rosa was taking care of all the details. We were able to enjoy our wedding day with our family and friends. My only regret is not hiring her sooner in the planning process! I would highly recommend Rosa and AWP!

We were so blessed to find Rosa with Austin Wedding Planners. She was the first and last person we interviewed and her experience and knowledge were very evident. Rosa helped give my daughter the fairy tale wedding of her dreams. We worked with Rosa during the year prior to the wedding on all facets of the event. Rosa made sure everything went smoothly for our 200 person wedding and reception. There were many details to oversee and Rosa and her team did so flawlessly. Rosa and her associates are extremely professional in all ways and they think of details that we had overlooked despite all our planning. We truly could not have done it without Rosa. It was a wonderful wedding event and Rosa and her team were worth every penny and more! Our guests commented that it was one of the most beautiful weddings/receptions they had ever seen, especially all the small details; the hotel staff said the same. I have recommended Rosa to other friends and she has helped them have a magical day at their special wedding events as well. Rosa is a jewel and we loved having her be a part of our daughter's wedding.
