Liza is knowledgeable when it comes to taking pictures and she goes out of her way to meet the client’s needs in a very professional way. The time, effort, and ideas she put into our pictures are unbelievable. Liza went above and beyond and exceeded all our expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer!”

They made an impressive groom’s cake for my husband that was exactly what he wanted! CuppieCakes has a very professional team and made sure we did not leave the building without being 100% with our decision on flavors!”

"My experience with Main Street bridal was something of a dream. Ever since I moved to Belton I knew I wanted to find my wedding dress from them. The moment we arrived the staff greeted my family and I with such familiarity that made trying on dresses very comfortable. The staff was also very good about working with my schedule as I was commuting back and forth from Lubbock texas. I am forever grateful for the staff and seamstresses that took great care of me during my time as a bride."

“Amber at Wolfe florist was the sweetest! She provided us with multiple suggestions on how to “dress up” our venue for an affordable rate. She was always quick to respond to any emails or phone calls. Wolfe Florist delivered beautiful floral arrangements the day of the wedding and my vision become a reality! The hanging arrangements, along with the other florals, made our day picture perfect!”

“Susie provided the wedding invitations and thank you notes for our wedding. Paperdoodles had an abundance of options to choose from and Susie was extremely helpful in picking out the perfect invitation. This process can sometimes be stressful, but she made it so simple and easy. She was always quick to respond to phone calls, even going out of her way on her days off to mail me items. I highly suggest Paperdoodles for all of your stationary and invitation needs!”

“I can honestly say my wedding day was all I have ever dreamed of and more because of Weddings By Shauna.

Shauna and her team made my wedding day perfect in every way, allowing me to enjoy every moment of it.”

“Vintage Villas provided a stunning landscape to host our wedding ceremony and reception. The moment we stepped foot on the grounds at Vintage Villas, we knew this was the venue to host our special day with our family and friends. The incredible views and lush grounds made us feel like we were transported to a beautiful Mediterranean vacation destination. From the beginning, the staff made the process of planning the wedding as pleasant as possible. The booking office was very friendly, diligent, and responsive to all of our questions and needs. The onsite chef was fantastic to work with, accommodating our needs and providing an incredible menu to delight our guests. We loved the set-up of the venue so that our guests could enjoy both the indoors and outdoor patio and never miss the sunset. Vintage Villas provided a beautiful canvas for us to paint our dream wedding and we couldn’t be happier!”

“Laurel & Finch blew my floral vision for my wedding day out of the park. Everything was so beautiful and it all came together perfectly. I cried happy tears when I saw my bouquet for the first time. I would recommend Laurel & Finch time and time again!”

“Deerfield Estates was at the top of our vendor list because it had everything we knew we wanted and needed for our wedding weekend. The staff was extremely accommodating. The venue is not only beautiful but a perfect location for out of town guests with their lodging. I’m so glad we chose Deerfield Estates for our big day!”

“I can not put into words how grateful I am for Georgio’s Bridal. The staff knew exactly what I wanted and delivered! Finding my wedding dress at another local business was a dream come true. We found my mom’s, mother-in-law’s dresses and tuxedos there. It was a seamless process and I will forever be a fan.”

“We could not be more thankful for the vendors we chose for our wedding. Shauna Hamby (Weddings by Shauna) is the most well-connected and resourceful planner in Central Texas. With her guidance, we were able to connect with Amber at Wolfe’s Florist who brought my floral vision to life! My dress from Georgio’s will forever be one of my favorite possessions. The team over there took great care to make sure it fit perfectly. Of course, I wouldn’t have looked my best without my girl Courtney, CY Artistry! There are not enough good things I could say about our venue, Deerfield Estates. The grounds are beautiful and welcoming and the staff is readily available to assist. Our rentals and visual teams at Pendley Party Productions and Wall of Sound had everything we needed for our romantic ceremony and reception. To everyone, a huge thank you! We could not have done it without you!”

“Almost a year of being married, not only are my husband and I wanting to relive our special day, so are our guests. Each time we speak with our wedding guests, they mention how beautiful our venue was along with our stunning florals. We would not have wanted to host our wedding at a more perfect venue than HighPointe Estate. Their in-house floral design team brought my vision to life from my bountiful bouquet to the breathtaking ceremony decor. From staff members to the overall aesthetic of HighPointe Estate, we could not recommend a better location for our dream wedding!

“When I first walked in to tour One Eleven East, the white brick walls, natural light from the skylight, large glass windows and the beautiful wood floors captured my attention. I knew this place didn’t need much more decoration…it was already so dreamy! The location of the venue is in downtown Hutto, the size was enough to accommodate our close family and friends. The large farmhouse tables in the main hall made our wedding feel like a big family dinner for our guests. The extreme temperature changes in Texas make planning an outdoor wedding difficult so I was comforted knowing that the venue space could accommodate both the ceremony and reception without having to step foot outside. Even so, our guests enjoyed the quaint outdoor patio during cocktail hour and dancing. I couldn’t be happier with One Eleven East. The venue staff and team were responsive and helpful throughout the wedding planning process. We’re thankful for Fallon and her family to share this historic building and space. Our memories at this venue will forever be cherished. You won’t regret having your wedding at One Eleven East!”

“Main Street Bridal was a shining light in my wedding dress experience. Unfortunately, the week before my wedding dress appointment, my grandmother passed away, leaving us dreading this experience instead of bursting with excitement. Kimberlyn, our Bridal Specialist, helped cheer me on as I tried on dress after dress. Whenever I became overwhelmed with all the choices, she provided helpful bridal insights and narrowed the dresses until I finally said, “Yes to the dress!” Her contagious attitude brought back our excitement during this moment and helped keep our spirits up till the very end. Main Street Bridal will hold a special place in my heart when looking back at my wedding. Nothing compares to the indescribable feeling of walking down the aisle and your husband seeing you for the first time in your dress.”

“Confetti Rentals is like walking into a weddingthemed candy shop with beautiful furniture and every napkin color you could ever imagine. We had an idea of a unique take on the ceremony set-up, without hesitation, they assured us we could devise a plan to make it possible. Thank you Confetti!”

“Carmen and Jake from Carmen J. Williams Photography were an amazing duo to work with for photography and videography. They were personable and made sure to get to know us in order to make sure we had the best experience possible. Carmen and Jake did an amazing job capturing our wedding day and then flew out first thing the next morning to Ireland to capture parts of our honeymoon, as well. We were very blessed to have both Carmen and Jake on our team, making our dream wedding possible!”

“We were in awe the moment we saw Snyder River Ranch. The venue was gorgeous and included everything that we wanted in our venue. The barn was beautiful and so easy to imagine how we wanted it to be set up! The Snyders were absolutely amazing in helping us plan our day, design the layout of the ceremony space and reception area, setting up the day before and day of, and so much more! I could not imagine a more perfect place to get married!”

“Working with Kyrsten was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the start, Kyrsten was so organized and professional. We walked into our wedding prepped and ready to enjoy the day. We cannot express how smooth photos where. Kyrsten was the go to person making sure every detail was perfect and captured. She truly has your back and makes sure every need is met. Kyrsten's attention to detail and organization is unmatched and she goes well beyond the role of being a photographer. We are so grateful to have had her with us on our wedding day. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment."
