Austin Wedding Planners, LLC

Rosa is the wedding planner you want if you care about both the big picture and the tiny details. My husband and I got married in April 2026 in Dripping Springs, and our wedding was anything but standard - we blended a Baptist ceremony with a Persian Aghd, which meant two distinct traditions, two sets of family expectations, and a sofreh setup that most planners have never touched. Rosa didn't just accommodate it; she understood it. She asked the right questions early, researched what she didn't know, and treated both ceremonies with equal reverence. That alone would have made her worth every penny. But what really set Rosa apart was her vendor coordination. She managed our florist, caterer, officiants, photographer, DJ, and rentals like a conductor - everyone knew where to be, what to do, and when. The timeline she built was meticulous, and she proactively flagged conflicts I never would have caught (load-in windows, ceremony transition timing, even how long the Aghd would realistically take vs. what we'd budgeted). She negotiated thoughtfully on our behalf and was honest when something wasn't worth the spend. Day-of, she was unflappable. A few things went sideways behind the scenes - they always do - and I genuinely didn't hear about any of it until weeks later. That's the mark of a great planner: you should feel like a guest at your own wedding, and Rosa made sure we did. My husband and I were fully present for every moment because we trusted her completely. A few specific things I want to call out: - She built a custom timeline that accounted for both ceremonies and gave our families clear expectations - She coordinated directly with our Persian family on Aghd traditions so I didn't have to translate between worlds - She handled a last-minute vendor issue with zero drama and advocated for refunds and credits when service was anything less than promised - She kept us on budget without ever making it feel transactional If you're planning a multicultural wedding, a Hill Country wedding, or honestly any wedding where you want to actually enjoy the day - hire Rosa. She's organized, warm, deeply experienced, and somehow makes the whole process feel less like a project and more like a partnership. We're so grateful. Thank you, Rosa!

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Austin Wedding Planners. We went with the wedding advisor package. We found them generally unwilling to provide opinions (I would ask questions about something and all I’d get back is "well every vendor does things differently"). They were overly pushy about preferred vendors (for instance, I heard from our venue who were contracted to provide our table settings that Austin Wedding Planners tried to get them to use one of Austin Wedding Planner's preferred vendors without talking to me about it) and they made some expensive oversights with the vendors that they’d recommended. For instance: They insisted a florist they suggested would not give us an a la carte (vs. full design) package. They did. We reached out to a florist AWP recommended with a minimum for full design. When we got that quote back it was clear they were struggling to get to that number and were suggesting more florals than we actually wanted. I saw they also offer a la carte options. I asked Rosa to ask about it. She said no, that that was only for elopements. I was really excited about them so I emailed them directly to ask if it would be an option. They immediately agreed. After I told Austin Wedding Planners the florist would do a la carte for us Rosa called me stressing out. Who would set up and break down the flowers? I said we would figure it out after our call with them. It turns out they were able to do both for a modest fee. Another instance, Austin Wedding Planners said our tenting company would not allow our venue to set up lighting in the tent. They did. I asked our venue which had string lights if they’d be able to set up lighting in our tent (our rain back up plan). The venue said yes. Rosa said no—that the tenting company wouldn’t allow it. I followed up with the tenting company (who were not on the call). They said our venue could set up the lights. These two things would have cost us over $4000 if we hadn’t followed up. Is it possible these vendors gave me different answers than they gave Austin Wedding Planners or they changed their policies recently? Sure. But given the premise of the advisor package is that you have a relationship with these vendors you should be getting me better deals not worse ones than if I negotiated on my own. Austin Wedding Planners have clearly been doing this for a long time and I think if you needed a day of planner this could still be a good pick for you.

As a wedding photographer, working with a great planner makes such a huge difference. Rosa is organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely cares about creating a seamless experience for her couples and vendor team. From detailed timelines to beautifully designed events, she handles every part of the day with so much thought and intention. That allows me to focus on capturing the moments!

Working with Rosa and Austin Wedding Planners was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding journey. From our very first call, Rosa and her team went above and beyond to make us feel heard, supported, and completely at ease. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were unmatched. Rosa's communication was impeccable — she kept us informed every step of the way, checking in regularly with both us and our vendors to ensure everything was perfectly aligned. Thanks to her, the planning process felt seamless and genuinely enjoyable. I never once felt overwhelmed or stressed, which is something I never thought I'd be able to say about planning a wedding! Whenever we had questions, needed guidance, or just wanted reassurance, Rosa was right there with thoughtful advice and unwavering support. She truly listened to our vision, paid attention to even the smallest details that mattered to us, and made sure every single one came to life beautifully. On our wedding day, everything was absolutely flawless. The day ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and soak in every magical moment — and that is entirely thanks to Rosa and her incredible team. They didn't just plan our wedding; they gave us the day of our dreams. We can't recommend Rosa and Austin Wedding Planners highly enough. If you're looking for a planner who will pour their heart into your special day and deliver perfection, look no further!

Rosa was such a hardworking and dedicated planner. She really did her all to make sure our wedding was beautiful and what we wanted, even when we had to change venues and when we had a thunderstorm during the ceremony. Rosa is very compassionate and her and her staff truly care that your wedding is what you’ve envisioned.
