Something To Celebrate — Award-Winning Wedding & Event Planning | Austin, Houston & San Antonio, TX
Established in 2005 and proudly serving Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and destination celebrations beyond Texas, Something To Celebrate is one of the most experienced, decorated, and genuinely beloved wedding and event planning firms in the Lone Star State. With over two decades of award-winning, published events under their belt — featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Style Me Pretty, The Knot, and beyond — the Something To Celebrate team brings a depth of knowledge, a breadth of vendor relationships, and a warmth of personal investment that couples and families consistently describe as the thing that made their wedding feel entirely, unmistakably theirs.
Led by founder Melanie and supported by a full team of planners including Jessica, Michelle, and Christina — with team members based across Austin, Houston, and San Antonio — Something To Celebrate operates not as a solo act but as a true ensemble. Every client benefits from the collective experience, creative resources, and emergency backup of the entire team, not just their assigned planner. It is a rare model in the planning world, and one that consistently results in better outcomes, more creative solutions, and far less stress for the couples they serve.
What makes Something To Celebrate genuinely different comes down to six qualities the team lives by every day:
Team-Backed — every event planner is supported by the full STC team across all three cities, with built-in backup and cross-city travel support when needed. Professional — the firm carries a $1 million commercial liability insurance policy, maintaining the kind of professional standard that protects couples and vendors alike. Reputable — two decades of trusted relationships have earned STC a coveted spot on the preferred vendor lists of some of Texas’s finest venues. Knowledgeable — over 20 years of experience means the team knows every trick of the trade that minimizes stress and maximizes results. Customized — every plan is built from scratch around each couple’s personality and style, never from a template or cookie-cutter software. And above all, Detailed — clients hear consistently that attention to detail is what sets Something To Celebrate apart from every other firm they considered.
Services span the full spectrum of celebrations — luxury weddings, multicultural and destination weddings, corporate events including holiday parties, conferences, and galas, and social events including milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions — all handled with the same composed, gracious, behind-the-scenes precision that keeps the couple smiling and the guests completely unaware of the work going on around them.

Working with Something to Celebrate was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process!! We had the privilege of working with Christina, and from day one, she was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and set my nerves at ease! I had what felt like thousands of questions leading up to our wedding, and she always responded so quickly with thoughtful, helpful answers. Having someone so responsive made the entire planning process feel so much less overwhelming. On our wedding day, Christina made everything run so seamlessly. She coordinated with all of our vendors, kept the timeline on track, and handled every detail behind the scenes so we never had to worry about a thing. Because of her, we were able to be fully present, enjoy every moment, and truly soak in the day with our family and friends. She was so sweet and an absolute joy to work with, and we will always be thankful she was such an important part of our wedding. We are so grateful to Something to Celebrate for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. We wholeheartedly recommend their team to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding planning experience!
Christina was our coordinator for our wedding on 7/2/2026 and I immediately have to shout her out. She was so organized from the start, great with communication, and a ton of fun to work with. She facilitated so much and made everything look absolutely beautiful for us. Our day ran extremely smooth start to finish. I am sincerely blown away by her attention to detail and how awesome she truly is. If you are getting married and need a coordinator/planner I 1000% recommend her. Even our guests commented on how amazing she was and very thorough. Everything was absolutely perfect and all thanks to Christina. She is worth it! Thank you Christina for making our day special, organized, and stress free. You truly are the best at what you do!
Christina Rivera is a complete professional. Christina was the wedding planner and organizer for my daughter Bryana's wedding to John Cannan on July 2 at the Brodie Homestead. She is knowledgeable, gracious and personable. My wife Luann and I highly recommend Christina and we are happy to be a reference for her and her company.
The team at Something to Celebrate made my wedding day so much less stressful. The wedding day timeline put together by Melanie was impeccable and very thorough. Christina's bubbly energy kept me going throughout the day of the wedding. Having their services available once putting a deposit down was an added bonus as they were able to help me with vendor recommendations. Overall, they gave me peace of mind and I knew that if there were any issues on the day of the wedding, that they would be able to handle it. They were absolutely worth the money!
If you are planning a wedding, Something to celebrate should be the first on your list. We had the privilege of working with Melanie and she was every bit of amazing as we were told. Melanie and her team made me and my husband’s dream wedding come true. The organization, and professionalism cannot be beat. The resources and shear knowledge of the wedding world as well as the attention of EVERY detail was met with careful consideration and care. The personal relationship we developed over the year with Something to Celebrate made planning fun, easy, and even more special than we could ever hope for. Thank you so much Melanie and Something to celebrate! It was the perfect day and YOU made it happen!
