Best event planners in Austin: find options near you

After Fun Fun Party did such a great job for my 40th high school reunion party (see review below), I knew I wanted to hire them for my wedding reception, at Canyon Springs Golf Club! The Fun Fun team (Madhu and Dev Malani) were graciously willing to drive south for my event, and the selfie station they set up was such a great hit! Guests had a wonderful time taking photos, with all the great props (and a few serious photos too!). Guests got to take multiple photos home with them, and we also shared the array of photos with our friends, after the party was over, to relive the fun. I helped to craft my own personal photo frame that was perfect for the occasion. Madhu and Dev are so polite and professional. You will not find a better selfie-station/photo booth company! I will hire them again for my next big party. You should do the same!

******************************

Great fun… Great service… very Professional!
I can’t offer enough praise about our Fun Fun Party experience. They are a local family business, and they work hard for your needs as a customer! For a price less than that of “chain” photo booth companies, they offered high quality photos, great props, and attendants to help out the (clueless!) party guests in creating great memories. They also offered photo prints for any guest wanting one! They were responsive to my inquiries and questions, and they worked with me to get just the right photo frame. They were polite and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Fun Fun Party for your photo booth needs!

If you need to rent a photo booth, look no further! I have used Fun Fun Party for 10 events over the last 5 years. They are always on time, professional, affordable and a pleasure to work with. My guests love the Mirror Me photo booth and being able to take home souvenir photos from the event. They truly make sure you have a Fun Fun Party!

FunFun Party Photo Booth was the perfect addition to our wedding! They were professional, and helped enough so everyone knew what to do. They had the cutest props! We loved having them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a photo booth.

Fun Fun Party was great to work with. They were very easy to book, responsive and good communication. We were able to pick one of about a dozen templates and customize with our logo and colors. At the party, they were wonderful. We had so many people comment on the large variety of props. They set up a silver background which we picked and was included. The rest of the setup was very professional with red carpet, stanchions, etc. The attendant kept everyone moving through efficiently, prompted people to put phone number in for text photos and printed out the right number of photos. We received the links with all the photos within 48 hours of our event. Highly recommend. Thanks again!

We booked them to come to a dinner & dance at our country club. They are awesome to work with and the photo booth was so much fun! I love that this is a family affair. The owners & their son showed up to staff the photo booth. The props were so fun & innovative. I highly recommend them.

Great photo booth! We had them at our wedding. It was a really fun way for guests to interact and have fun during cocktail hour and throughout the reception. Its great to have the goofy and cute photos of everyone that we wouldn’t normally get!

Fun Fun Party Photo Booth was a hit at our company holiday party. The team running the equipment were so friendly and helpful. The props were awesome. We loved getting multiple copies of the photos on the spot as well as sent to our phones. We highly recommend.

Our 40th wedding anniversary Masquerade ball decorations were beautiful! Becky did such a fantastic job! I don’t believe anyone could have done it better!!!! From the first meeting to the last, brainstorming, additions and changes, Becky was very patient through it all! Thank you so much!

Becky and her team did an amazing job with the decor for my wedding reception. She was creative and was accommodating to all my requests. Would recommend her for any small or large scale decorating needs.

My wedding was 100 times better than I could ever imagine thanks to Party Fascinations! I recommend their services for every event you have coming up!

Becky helped me plan and organize our company holiday party this year. Working with her and her team was a seamless process from planning through execution. The venue decorations were stunning! It was one of the talks of the evening from our employees. She offered wonderful suggestions all while talking the time to listen and implement what was important to us. I will absolutely be reaching out to her for future events. Thank you Becky and team!

We hired party fascinations to decorate/coordinate our wedding,as I am a professional decorator I was very nervous to hand the responsibilities to someone else but my wonderful husband insisted on so I could enjoy our wedding. It was one of the best decisions ever! My idea was winter wonderland and Ms.Becky and her team did such a beautiful job putting it all together with great detail. She executed our vision to the “T” Ms.Becky also was our coordinator for our wedding and also did a great job with keeping the wedding going on time and communicating with all my vendors. If you want a great event coordinator and decorator we highly recommend party fascinations for your event.

My husband and I were hosting a party to celebrate out marriage. We wanted it to include dinner and dancing and look nice, but beyond that, we had absolutely no idea what to do for decorating. Most places that we looked were much too expensive for what we had a budget for and also for what we wanted. Becky’s team was a fit.

Becky brought ideas and experience to our vision. She suggested several ideas and helped us narrow down our focus. She was responsive to us and clarified what we wanted.

On the day of our event, Becky was there to ensure that all set up was smooth. Her team knew exactly what the plan was. They were quick, efficient, professional, and good at what they did. They set up table settings, center pieces, a backdrop for photos, and uplighting. Becky’s centerpieces were gorgeous and so many people complimented our decor! Becky’s team was efficient and clean in their takedown. Knowing that decoration set up and take down was covered was such a relief!

Becky is a kind, compassionate human with a strong eye for decor and excellent work for a reasonable price. I highly recommend her for your decorating needs!

Party Fascinations delivered an extraordinary experience at our company Christmas party that surpassed all expectations! Their excellence shone through in every aspect, from the enchanting decorations to their impeccable services and outstanding communication.

Allow me to introduce Becky, a true standout in event coordination. With a wealth of experience, she proved to be an invaluable asset, ensuring our event ran seamlessly and with unparalleled smoothness. Managing a gathering of 420 people, Becky orchestrated the dinner service flawlessly, skillfully directing the line to ensure efficiency. Her attention to detail and organizational prowess were evident as she allowed two tables at a time, demonstrating her expert touch.

Becky’s communication skills were nothing short of amazing. From coordinating with vendors to providing a comprehensive checklist of considerations, she left no stone unturned. It was reassuring to know that, with Becky at the helm, every detail was covered, alleviating any concerns about overlooking something important.

The servers, under Becky’s guidance, did a fantastic job ensuring our guests had a delightful dining experience. From keeping cups filled with water to promptly attending to any beverage needs, the waitstaff exhibited impeccable service.

In summary, Party Fascinations provided us with an unforgettable and truly remarkable experience at our company Christmas party. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence made our event a resounding success. We wholeheartedly recommend Party Fascinations for anyone seeking an unparalleled event experience.

We used Events Unleashed as our planners for our Wedding on July 26th. They were organized, communicative, and helped make our Wedding Weekend perfect. They really assisted us every single step of the way. Our main theme of our wedding was to ‘Tell Our Story’, everything was carried out so beautifully. We feel like our ‘lookbook’ came together in the end. They were so informative, specific, and knowledgeable. They also gave the best advice and recommended the best vendors. They were open to doing anything we wanted to do ‘our way’ and advocated for us whenever things got hard or difficult. Because of them, we never felt alone in the Wedding Planning process. We are so grateful to Lahoma, Breanna, Maurice, and Kaley. We truly wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Jasmyn and Kaley with Events Unleashed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the initial communication to the event day, their team was professional, responsive, and well-organized. They provided clear guidance and made the whole process smooth from start to finish.

What really stood out to us was how easy they were to collaborate with. They were responsive, valued our input, were open to feedback, and gave us the flexibility to do what we do best. Whether it was confirming branding details for the photo templates or adjusting last-minute timelines, everything was handled with professionalism and care.

Thanks to their strong planning and attention to detail, the event ran effortlessly. We are grateful for the chance to work with such a thoughtful and organized team and would absolutely welcome the opportunity to partner with Events Unleashed again.

If you’re considering them for your next project, you can rest assured you’re in excellent hands.

Incredible experience working with Lahoma and her team. They put together the absolute best of the best for our wedding and dealt with every issue quickly and efficiently. Numerous people have commented on the fact that our wedding was so much different than the normal weddings they’ve gone to and that is a credit to Lahoma and Events Unleashed. We highly recommend them for any event–but especially for a wedding!

From start to finish, Lahoma and the Events Unleashed Team were perfection. Like many brides, I started my wedding planner search via google. Lahoma quickly responded to my inquiry and I immediately felt comfortable with her and her process.

As a picky bride with no vision, I was really nervous about how all of the moving pieces would come together. Lucky for me, Lahoma is an expert. She gave me the structure I needed to make timely decisions within my budget and the space and time I needed to explore my likes and dislikes. She was always available when I needed her and always had great insight when I had a question or wanted her opinion. She has great relationships with fantastic Austin vendors and, once she got a sense of my style, was able to identify which of these vendors would be the best fit. She even got her nails done in my preferred style by the technician that I ultimately chose so I could see it (out of town bride).

Looking back on it, I can’t believe how calm I was our wedding weekend. As a perfectionist and a control freak, this is a true testament to Lahoma and her process. Lahoma and the Events Unleashed team shouldered all of the day of stress and craziness. And wow…I couldn’t believe how everything came together!!! It was beautiful!!!

As with most couples, our wedding weekend was largely a blur. That said, Lahoma ensured that my husband and I shared private moments to breathe and take everything in, including appetizers together alone before our rehearsal dinner and a lengthy departure ride with food and drink. After the wedding, my husband, who wasn’t super involved in wedding planning (shocking…lol), mentioned to me how warm and reassuring Lahoma was when it was time for him to walk down the aisle (THANK YOU, LAHOMA!).

Finally, through the months of planning, I think of Lahoma as a friend. I feel so lucky to have worked with her and the Events Unleashed Team!

Where do I begin!? I am based in the UK and when planning an event in Austin I needed some last minute help with delivering our conference. Events Unleashed went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, responsive during the lead up and couldn’t have been more helpful during the week of the event. Even taking me to target to pick up last minute supplies! Forever grateful in particular to Lahoma & Breanna, thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been working with Unleashed Events for a while now, and they never miss a beat. Their attention to detail in both planning and execution is always on point, making every event seamless and stress-free. The team is not only highly professional but also incredibly friendly—every single person I’ve interacted with has been polite, welcoming, and ready to help with anything. They truly go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you’re looking for an events team in Austin that knows how to deliver with excellence and a great attitude, Unleashed Events is the way to go!

I had a wedding in May 2024 and working with Events Unleashed was an absolute dream! From the initial consultation to the last dance, they flawlessly executed our vision, making our wedding day truly magical. Their attention to detail was impeccable, their communication was top-notch, and they seamlessly managed every vendor and potential hiccup with grace and professionalism. We felt completely supported and stress-free throughout the entire planning process, and our wedding day was everything we ever imagined and more. I would highly recommend working with Lahoma and team if you want a stress-free and elevated planning experience and would welcome the opportunity to work with Events Unleashed on future events!

Absolutely exceptional! I had the pleasure of working with Yeraldin as my wedding planner, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the moment we started planning, she went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, she took the time to listen to me and ensure our wedding vision came to live she had great communication with the vendors and all parties that were going to be part of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, she stepped in like a true hero, handling everything seamlessly. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the joy of the day. It was truly the best day of my life, and I owe it all to Yeraldin Events. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a talented and trustworthy wedding planner.

This woman’s magic is amazing!

Literally put together a bachelorette party in Colombia, and it was AMAZING! 19 women from Texas trusted Yeral, and she was just so so so amazing.

Attention to detail, we went to so many beautiful places in Medellin, it was possibly one of the best trips of my life.

We had so so much fun, and it was thanks to her. She is originally from Venezuela and she has lots of amazing connections in Colombia, so yea, SHE ALSO SPEAKS SPANISH! She is a beautiful soul and will make sure you have fun and enjoy the time. She also does quinceañeras and many more events!

I knew my Last Spin in Medellín was going to be legendary because Yeraldin was running it (and to be honest, I feel like she most especially KILLS it when it’s a Latin country), and those that also know me, know I expect a certain standard.

And I think that leads me to another crucial, and unspoken nuance.

A lot of us are in our mid-thirties— and, well, life is hectic for us all. I had moms, wives, singlin’ & minglin’, and girlfriends all come to this trip, 17 deep— but I think one of the most beautiful things about having Yeraldin plan my bachelorette is that because we honestly felt we were in good hands,

the space she created allowed for all of us to truly kick back, relax, dance to our heart’s content, drink, and live carefree for the next 48 hours.

You just can’t put a price on that.

Once in a while I would catch myself looking around the amazing Airbnb, or in the chiva (Colombian party bus), or even at the restaurants Yeraldin would take us to, and I would take a moment to examine their faces— every single one of them—

And every single one of them had pure happiness on their faces— it’s like we were taken back to a simpler time where the biggest worry was what outfit we’d wear tomorrow, or if we studied enough for a test— and I promise you this—

We all had the most amazing time because we felt like we could let our hair down and be completely and utterly free— and it was the most magical experience ❤️

To close, it’s actually a privilege and pleasure to know and work with Yeraldin. She will always give you her very best, and trust me, her best is out of this world!

Yeraldin was an absolute godsend for our wedding. She was extremely organized, always on time, and even handled our chaotic family in a way I know I couldn’t have. She was thoughtful in considering details I never would have known were important without her guidance. Having Yeraldin on our team took a lot of the stress out of the planning and day of the wedding- which gave us the chance to actually enjoy it. I would definitely recommend Yeraldin and would work with her on events in the future.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Yeraldin, my Day of Wedding Coordinator. From our initial meetings to the hustle and bustle of the big day, she was an absolute lifesaver.

Yeraldin’s attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that every aspect of my wedding day was flawless. She went above and beyond, providing me with invaluable guidance and support throughout the planning process, including a comprehensive spreadsheet that kept me organized and prepared.

On the day of the wedding, Yeraldin’s dedication truly shone. She seamlessly managed all the decorations, coordinated with vendors, and kept me informed every step of the way, just as I had requested. When faced with unexpected challenges, such as catering issues, she didn’t hesitate to take charge and ensure everything was sorted promptly.

Her tireless efforts didn’t go unnoticed by my family and friends, who were all impressed by her hard work and commitment to perfection. Despite any hiccups, her ability to handle them with grace and efficiency ensured that the event flowed flawlessly, leaving everyone in awe.

I wholeheartedly recommend prioritizing a wedding day coordinator like Yeraldin to ensure your special day runs smoothly from start to finish.She truly is a wedding day superhero, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

If you want great vibes & a great time Yeraldin is the one for you. Her planning skills for events are phenomenal! She even planned an event out of the country and I couldn’t complain about anything. You can obviously see how passionate and hard working she is when she puts an event together because it shows in the end.

Yeraldin planned an amazing bachelorette party for a large group (17 people) of us in Medellin, Colombia. She thought of every little detail from start to finish. For such a large group everything was coordinated so smoothly and she communicated everything along the way. She’s extremely organized and made spread sheets for all of us to access so we were all on the same page and knew exactly how much we would be spending. I’m so grateful she was planned this trip for us, it was no easy feat for a large party and the trip went perfectly! We all had so much fun!

I hired Clearly Classy Events to plan my daughters birthday party. Johnell was great to work with! Very responsive, listened to our needs and created a beautiful event for our family and friends to enjoy! I couldn’t have done it without her! If you are looking for an event planner, I would recommend Clearly Classy Events!

I am a wedding professional and I have worked with Johnell’s team for 5+ years! Her team is one of my favorites to work with! Event day always runs so smoothly and her and her team have great style and will bring your vision to life perfectly!

I would recommend her as your planner for your wedding or next party!!!

Johnell is one of the best in the business. A truly experienced professional planner ready to handle any unexpected curveballs, and there are many behind the scenes in the wedding world! I am a wedding florist and have worked with Johnell for over nine years on dozens of events. I always get excited when I know she is the planner for the event because she is easy to work with and is really an advocate for her clients. I always recommend her to my clients!

I hired Johnell of Clearly Classy Events for day-of coordination for my New Years Eve wedding. She made my wedding run so smoothly and perfectly. I truly had the best night of my life, and it would not have been possible without her and her team there helping to ensure that everything happened on time and that everyone knew where to be and when. Johnell and her team are absolute rock stars and are truly great at what they do!

We reached out to Johnell for my 3 year old’s birthday party recently. We hardly had two weeks for the event day and Johnell worked day and night to get everything planned and coordinated according to the theme of the party. She provided great suggestions like the claw machine, face painting and a magician. It was tough to find a magician in that short time period but she did her magic to find the best one for the event and it was great! All our 50+ guests who attended the party raved about how well the planning and coordination was done for a 3 year old’s birthday. It wouldn’t have happened without her!

She also helped with my baby shower back in early 2020 when Covid didn’t hit us yet. My husband worked with her to throw me a baby shower and it was amazingly done. That baby shower event has made us reach out to her again because we knew she will do an excellent job and can trust her because she puts her heart in every event that she takes up.

Thank you so much Johnell for all the efforts and an outstanding work even with such short time that you had. Looking forward to connecting with you soon for my daughter’s birthday party!

I work with Clearly Classy Events regularly for weddings, birthday parties and other celebrations. Johnell is a seasoned professional and always knows how to handle any situation. I would highly recommend Clearly Classy Events for any occasion you need a planner for!

Clearly Classy Events always does an amazing job! As a photographer who shoots a lot of weddings, I work with a lot of coordinators and Johnell is top of the line. I have seen the Clearly Classy crew deliver stress free, fairy tale weddings to their clients time and time again.

We absolutely love working with Fifth Street DMC.
Everyone is so friendly, organized, professional and just a joy to partner with! If you are looking for the best “things to do” in Austin, These folks have you covered!

I collaborated with Kennedy in Spring 2019 to enhance the team building and events that were part of a corporate meeting in Austin (think: private yoga class, takeout pizza for a paint and sip night). All of the staff I worked with was detail-oriented, energetic and downright good at communicating. The team was very knowledgeable about the Austin neighborhoods and foodie scene and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Kennedy as a DMC to any meeting planner hosting a meeting or event in the Austin area.

I’ve worked many times with this top-notch event planning team over the past few years, and I’ve never been less than impressed by their creativity, professionalism, and lightning-fast response times. They’re true pros with a great deal of expertise, having worked with a ton of small local brands, Fortune 50 companies and everything in between. It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with this dynamic crew. I’d wholeheartedly recommend them any day of the week.

We enjoyed working with Fifth Street on an outing for the guests of our business conference attendees! Would 100% use them as our preferred DMC in Austin, TX.

Fantastic event company! I highly recommend them for your conference, event, or party. They also very experienced in Destination Management.

Great respective staff.i was quite impress with the magnitude of staging inventory very chic and eclectic

Receptionist is incredibly rude.
