WE CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU
We’re a North Texas-based wedding planning and coordination service committed to making your wedding day as stress-free as possible.

"Amber and her staff were very professional and helpful through this whole process. She went above and beyond for us, example: it looked like rain on the day of our wedding, and for three days she called and emailed several companies to help find us a decent price for tents, we ended up not needing them but she was on it and meant a lot to my wife and myself. We ran out of alcohol halfway through the night and her staff ran to the store twice more to make sure everyone had drinks. If you're looking for someone who is professional, goes above and beyond, and a genuinely sweet person, then look no more, her name is Amber ;)Thanks a lot for everything Amber, seriously you were great and all your staff was incredibly nice :)."

The wedding rehearsal prepares everyone for their roles during the ceremony. We cover:
Where and how the wedding party will stand at the altar.
What to do when the bride approaches and arrives at the altar.
What the groom can expect during the ceremony, how to receive the bride and her escort, and how to walk her back down the aisle during the recession.
Where the family will sit, including their reserved rows.
We typically hold a same-day rehearsal, about 2 hours before the ceremony or when the photographer arrives to begin detail shots. At this point, the bridesmaids are hair and makeup ready, and the bride is finalizing her look. The rehearsal itself takes about 30 minutes, leaving time for everyone to get dressed for photos.
We recommend same-day rehearsals because they’re more convenient. They eliminate the need to schedule a separate event the day before, deal with venue availability, or manage travel conflicts with out-of-town wedding party members. It simplifies the process and ensures everyone is present and prepared.
If you prefer to have your rehearsal on a different date, this can be arranged for an additional fee. Let us know your preference, and we’ll work with you to schedule it.

All of our ceremony options can be modified for religious or non-religious services. We have a marriage prayer that we've found folks really enjoy and can include bible verses that are special to you and your partner.
