Reviews of 36th Street Events (Event Planner)

Ren Newey and the entire 36th Street Events team were absolutely amazing! Ren understood our vision and helped us plan and create our dream wedding! From the get go, Ren was very helpful with providing venue options with sample budgets, useful worksheets and task trackers. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns which came up during the wedding planning process. We planned a mixed wedding with a lot of Indian elements, and the team was able to understand and execute on all the details. Day of Ren and her team took over and did not let us or our families worry or stress out about a single detail. Our guests were so impressed with the level of professionalism and the size of the event team for our wedding. Would highly recommend Ren and the 36th Street Team to future brides! You won't regret it!

Jessika Knight is an absolutely fantastic wedding planner, and we loved working with her and 36th Street Events. Jessika has the best attitude for planning a wedding — always friendly and upbeat, but down to earth and easy to talk to. She really listens and pays attention to the details of things you like, and I fully trusted her judgment. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more. On the day of, Jessika and the staff at 36th Street Events made sure everything was perfect, so that we could really just enjoy ourselves and be a part of everything. They thought of even the littlest details, like bringing me a straw during our photo shoot so that I didn’t smudge my lipstick. We had a pretty laissez faire attitude about wedding planning, and she kept us on track throughout the entire process, remembering every little detail. She kept great notes and records of our decisions, and sent us friendly reminders when we needed to handle something. Jessika also helped us scope out the whole budget from the beginning, and then would give us a short list of reasonably priced options/vendors for each thing so that we didn’t have to do endless research ourselves. That alone reduced sooo much of the stress of wedding planning. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, people kept saying how amazing it was that I didn’t seem stressed about anything, but Jessika never seemed stressed, so it was pretty easy to feel like everything was going to turn out alright — and it did! It was all perfect! The only thing we’re sad about is that we’re not going to be working with her anymore!

I interviewed countless potential wedding coordinators in Austin, and ended up deciding to go with 36th Street Events; specifically Jessika Knight. I am here to say we're so glad we decided to go with her. We had a very detailed and complicated outdoor wedding where my wife crafted about 90% of the decorations, and Jessika absolutely knocked it out of the park. She went above and beyond our expectations, took our vision for the wedding we wanted and made it a reality greater than we imagined. Along with this she was also incredibly sweet and easy to work with. We will always be referring our friends to her.

Let me start by saying I am, for better or worse, difficult to impress and often dream up things that are far from reality --- our wedding absolutely blew us away with how perfectly and above our expectations it turned out to be. It all came together so beautifully and thoughtfully beyond what we could imagine. We received endless compliments from our guests on the design, set up, etc, but mostly for the service that Beth and 36th Street Events provided throughout the day. (Of course, we were fully aware of how wonderful Beth is from working with her over a year and a half to plan and were not surprised that our guests received the same customer service). My husband and I have repeatedly told our friends that hiring our wedding planner was the top item that we would splurge on all over again and again. We got to enjoy all of the planning time and relax the day of because Beth and her team literally handled and managed it all! <3 Can't thank them enough!

Ren Newey was so helpful in every single aspect of the planning process! She was so friendly, fun, and outgoing but also made sure to keep us on track, hit our deadlines, and paid close attention to detail. She had great suggestions for vendors and knew what worked well and what wasn't really worth the money. She helped to keep our budget in check, but also knew when it was worth it to splurge on certain items. The day-of, her and her team did an amazing job of being present but also in the background so that everything seemed to run effortlessly and naturally. She even stepped in to add a personal touch when a vendor forgot to complete an item. We are so thankful to have had her and the whole 36th Street Events team helping us to plan our big day.
