Schwartz & Woodward

Houston, TX

Schwartz & Woodward is one of Houston's most experienced and detail-driven wedding planning firms — and one of the few in the city with a dedicated, deeply hands-on specialization in South Asian weddings. Led by Jo Ann Woodward and her team, Schwartz & Woodward has been planning Indian and South Asian multi-day celebrations in Houston for years, bringing a level of cultural familiarity and logistical precision that families consistently describe as the reason their wedding weekend came together beautifully, across every event, without a single detail falling through the cracks.

What sets Schwartz & Woodward apart for South Asian couples is the sheer comprehensiveness of their involvement. From selecting an auspicious wedding date and securing the ceremony priest, to designing the Sangeet décor, coordinating the Baraat procession, ordering ceremony garlands, overseeing Mandap setup, managing the Mehndi artists, and supervising every vendor at the reception — the team is present and hands-on throughout every stage of the multi-day celebration. They attend tastings, escort the couple to florist and décor meetings, negotiate vendor contracts on the couple's behalf, and pass referral fees and discounts directly back to the client — never keeping them.

Their full South Asian wedding planning service covers every event across the weekend — from the home Mehndi and Sangeet through the ceremony and reception — with a customized event calendar, detailed vendor payment schedule, and a complete vendor team assembled to match each couple's specific vision, traditions, and budget. Day-of and two-months-out coordination packages are also available for couples who need professional support closer to their date rather than from the very beginning.

Schwartz & Woodward — because a South Asian wedding deserves a planning team that knows every ritual by heart.
