Stephanie was the best thing to have happened to me for my wedding. I booked her last minute with a week to spare until my wedding and she executed everything I needed and even helped me make my seating chart because she saw how stressed I was. She made sure I had and wanted everything on my special day. I literally forgot my bouquet and was about to walk down the aisle and she was literally The Flash and ran everywhere to find it for me with the venue staff and they found it!!! Can't recommend her enough. I wish I booked with her sooner and regret that I didn't !!!

We couldn’t imagine having anyone else by our side throughout the wedding planning process! Stephanie took the time to listen to our wants and needs while also easing all our concerns. She is passionate about the work that she does and it shows every step of the way. We appreciated how Stephanie went the extra mile to find the right vendors for our wedding. We would highly recommend Stephanie to plan your perfect day!!

I cannot recommend Stephanie of Sweet Gardenia Weddings highly enough! She was such a blessing throughout the entire process and made our wedding dreams a reality. Her paralegal background made her particularly savvy at navigating contracts and keeping us on track with timeline and invoices. Aside from genuinely caring about each couple as individuals, Stephanie was amazing at helping troubleshoot when challenges inevitably arose: unexpected weather, AirBnB cancelations, even sewing a stitch in my wedding dress when the bustle wasn't doing the trick. Stephanie is a delight, always professional and on top of things - she went above & beyond what we possibly could've asked for. So, book with Stephanie, bride & groom to be! You will be so glad you did ❤️

Stephanie was fantastic!! She really put us at ease the month before our wedding. She was always quick to respond / get responses from vendors. My husband and I are big planners so we did a lot of work prior to her helping us but she was still able to point out very important things/details we didn’t even think of. We had a catholic wedding and Stephanie was aware of church guidelines/rules and was she was very respectful of them. We had an issue with our reception venue/florist that was unfortunate but Stephanie and her assistant Clarissa were on top of it. We felt like we truly could just relax and have fun the day of our wedding because she was there. She got along great with our family and friends and was quick to address their needs the day of the wedding.After the wedding Stephanie was sweet enough to reach out and check on us and even gave us a recap of what happened behind the scenes. I really appreciated her transparency. I still wasn’t happy with what happened with the florist and Stephanie was very understanding. She was nice enough to reach out to the florist after the fact to try and assist us in resolving the issues. During the entire process/after the wedding, she truly cared/advocated for us to make sure we were happy. I really recommend that you hire Stephanie and her team for your upcoming wedding you won’t regret it! You want someone like her on your side.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Stephanie is your girl, instant best friend, life saver and hype woman all in one. She kept us on track, was proactive on items that needed to be done, and didn’t let a single thing fall through the cracks. I feel very fortunate to have known and worked with Stephanie. I truly believe that it is because of her that I was never a stressed out bride- she truly took the reins and let me enjoy this most magical moment.

If I could give Stephanie 10 stars instead of 5, I would! I found Stephanie from a friend who had hired her years ago as a day of coordinator. After an initial phone call with Stephanie, I felt really good about hiring her as our wedding planner. We booked her partial planning services. As an owner of a small business also working in the wedding/event industry and now a bride, I appreciate Stephanie’s communication, her attention to detail, her organizational skills, her referrals, and just her presence throughout the entire process. Stephanie was the first vendor I hired, our hype woman, my saving grace, she took such great care of us and the day of our wedding was no different. She had our back with a vendor I wasn’t so happy with, taking all the bullets from them so I didn’t have to fight that battle. At the rehearsal, she got all the family organized and kept everyone in order, taking control of the situation, which I truly appreciated!! On the day of, she took all the responsibilities off of our plate and we truly and genuinely were able to enjoy our wedding day! She kept us on time, helping me plan out our timeline in advance and listening to what was important to us really showed! I can not recommend Stephanie enough. She is welcoming, a pleasure to be around, really REALLY good at what she does and truly has her couple’s best interest at heart. You won’t regret having Stephanie on your team!

Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with! I found her when I felt like I was drowning. She swooped right in and always made me feel like everything was going to turn out perfect (which it did!). I was not an easy client as I …

This review is LONG overdue. I got married on Sept. 2 of this year at the Lost Mission and contacted Stephanie a year ahead of time because I am a Midland native organizing a wedding in the San Antonio area. Although San Antonio is my hometown, I haven't lived in the area in over 12 years and I knew that if I wanted to make my wedding vision come to life I was going to need the support of someone in the area.When my now husband and I met with Stephanie for the first time we were super excited. She has such a fun and bubbly personality, we clicked immediately. As we progressed in the planning process, something I really appreciated from Stephanie was her patience and willingness to listen. I am an event planner myself and am accustomed to coordinating large scale productions so when it came to my wedding, my expectations where high. During our time working together, I changed my mind ALOT and felt so bad having to communicate those changes with Stephanie. However, she was so kind and always made me feel like I was going in the right direction which was really important because this process is stressful!Once I provided Stephanie the contracts and information for vendors, she took over communicating with them, reminding me of payment deadlines that were coming up and made sure to be the point of contact on the day of the event.On the day of our wedding, Stephanie and her team were absolute ANGELS!! She made sure everything was set up exactly how I envisioned it and kept us on schedule. During the reception her assistants made sure to give me a fan when they would see me to make sure I was cooling off and would event bring me drinks to the the dance floor. They were honestly the sweetest and most thoughtful crew!Stephanie is really fun and bubbly but she runs a tight ship on wedding day which is exactly what we needed to make sure all the things we wanted got done. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to her and her team!Following our wedding we had to deal with some not so much fun stuff as there was a Salmonella Outbreak, but Stephanie was super sweet and continued to check up on us following the event to make sure our guests were okay.If you are in the area and are in the search for an amazing planning team please consider Sweet Gardenia Weddings! They are incredible!

Where do I even begin with bragging about Stephanie?!If any bride is on the fence about having Sweet Gardenia Weddings be part of their big day, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO DO IT!!! You will not regret it one bit, from the very jump, Stephanie was very attentive to every question I had. Our email chain is pretty long but that just goes to show that she is there for anything that you need! She did a tremendous job as my Month of Coordinator, At 6 weeks, she took over everything and it really does take a load off for us brides. When the day of my wedding came, it all ran exactly how we wanted it to run because of her and her team. Clarissa also did an amazing job at supporting us the whole day. We felt very blessed and in good hands for our wedding. Sweet Gardenia's organization is impeccable, any little problem that came up, Stephanie and Clarissa were on it and it was fixed in no time. I cannot thank and brag about them enough! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! - Ashley and Fernando

Stephanie was so great to work with. I was a very anxious bride and Stephanie helped ease my worries throughout the planning process. I cannot imagine what our wedding day would have been like without her- she worked hard to make everything go very smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to truly enjoy our special day. I definitely recommend working with her!
