Reviews of Goen South Events (Event Planner)

JDM Advisors

Morris from Goen South Events was highly recommended by the resort I held our 2016 Awards Event. Morris is a miracle worker! You name it and Morris delivered. Everything from; a mariachi band, to models with custom shirts, a jeopardy game, a casino night, even fire dancers. Everyone was blown away with the seamless precision. I would highly recommend Goen South to anyone that wants to take their events to the next level. In addition Morris is a great person, and is a pleasure to work with.

Had amazing décor for our USO Appreciation event on January 19th, 2018. Not only was the presentation first class, Tanya Schilling provided exceptional customer service and truly elevated the experience, which many of our guests continue to rave about! Thank you Goen South for ensuring this special night was on target with the UIW Sky Room elegant venue!

Dana and Amanda at Goen South are incredible - we planned an outing at La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio and worked so hard on unique activities and experiences for the guests. Everything was flawless from the armadillo races, long horn, beer burros, transportation, etc. you name it - it was incredible. We could not have pulled it off without Goen South!

We worked with Goen South on a conference we put on in April 2016. Best DMC I've worked with! Very professional, met all their commitments - and went above and beyond. They came to us with ideas and helped us pull together events for attendees that were great. And - they were there every step of the way - including during the events. And when there were glitches (which there always is something) - they took the lead in sorting things out - being creative at times - and our attendees were non the wiser. I would highly recommend them and if I'm ever doing something in San Antonio they are going to be my first call

Goen South is awesome to work with, they are professional, organized and ever so creative. It is a wonderful team!

Henry Brun

I've known Morris for quite some time and respect his level of service, always striving to achieve that never done before presentation, giving his client more than they ever envisioned (as a norm and not an exception). As an entertainment consultant/international performer I push the limits to whatever presentation I have at hand. Partnering with Morris creates a comfort zone, knowing that together we'll hit that zone, the Wow! factor. You'll always succeed with your event when you team up with the best!

Goen South did a fabulous job with our event at Hotel Emma! Their staff was SO professional and detail oriented, which made for an easy event day all around. Thank you Goen South!

Melissa Edwards

Goen South provided beautiful floral centerpieces and feast- style tables for a private dinner we hosted at the Hotel Emma. I cannot recommend the Goen team enough-- their florals were absolutely stunning and they did a fabulous job incorporating custom elements that fit our dinner's theme!

Gustavo Garcia

Goen South is an amazing San Antonio DMC! They have been an incredible support for our organization, SAY Sí. We have worked with their team for a number of different events and they are extremely accommodating when it comes to the needs of our organization. They always provide excellent service and we highly recommend Goen South to any business or organization looking for a San Antonio DMC to support their events!

As musicians, we enjoy working for Goen South Events!

I have been planning corporate events for over a decade and, honestly as a control freak, I have a challenge trusting event coordinators to follow-up and follow-through on details. However, I knew within a day of working with Goen South, our event was in great hands. Ashley, the Event Sales Manager, had amazing attention to detail, dependability and creativity. She asked great questions, made suggestions that made our event better than I imagined and delivered everything she promised and more! If all event teams worked as well, as professional and as diligent as the Goen South team, all my events would be stress free! I can’t think of a better company I’d recommend based on my experience with Goen South. Their customer service, enthusiasm, professionalism and uniqueness is matchless! I am looking forward to working with them again (and again, and again)!

GOEN SOUTH Events is a fantastic event planner! Our company, Southwest Casino Productions, has worked with GOEN SOUTH for several years. They professional, very organized, and give you all of the details needed to make sure that each event runs smoothly. We highly recommend their services for any upcoming event/party planning needs that you may have.

Gayle Pugh

I love Goen South Events. Wonderful product, wonderful service and wonderful communication! Will use them every time I can!

Carlos Sanchez

As a Professional Musician/Entertainer I get to work with many DMC's, Private event companies, event planners, etc. who hire me for their events and while I have to say I have always been treated nicely by most everyone, the two things that stand out about Goen South are their Professionalism and their Teamwork culture. I have witnessed this first hand and have been rather impressed at the level of attention to detail and expectation they have of themselves and by default of anyone who works as a part of their team... the result is a "well oiled, very tight and good looking machine". But that would just make it a very efficiently run business, however, in this industry, that isn't enough to be Outstanding!.. you still need to have the People factor, the Human Factor, the "I can't believe they did this..." Factor and in my opinion, one of the reasons for their success is the fact that they operate with a Family like Culture where everyone is helping each other and my perception is that one of their main goals is not to "reach a number" or "win an award" at the end of the year but to earn that "Wow, this turned out way better than we could have ever imagined..." reaction from their clients. I feel privileged to be able to collaborate and be a part, in a small way, of such a wonderful group of people. If you're looking for a DMC that will deliver on your expectations and then some, you've found it!!

Dusty Gatlin

Morris and his staff are GREAT! Provided excellent communication prior to our event, on site delivery, and exceptional follow through afterwards. They're full of outside the box ideas that are sure to make any event an eye opener! Would highly recommend to anyone who is trying to unload some of the worry of event planning.

Terri Burns

Our event went so smooth and seamless with the expertise of Ashley Toney and Goen South Events! The planning, preparation and skill of everyone involved was excellent! Service was above my expectations and was executed with professionalism and flare! Ashley, the Event Manager was "on top" of all details and kept me in the loop from beginning to end! I give this lovely lady and her team 5 STARS without hesitation! I will enlist her help time and time again!!!!!

Philip Barr

Morris and his crew are creative, energetic and highly professional. If you can imagine it, Morris can make it happen. And if you can't imagine it, Morris has the type of creative mind that can help you with your ideas. From his early days as a photographer at the San Antonio Express News, through his career in the wedding photography business, to his current focus on event production, Morris has maintained the highest standards for himself and his staff and has always been ready to go the extra mile to make his work extraordinary. This extra effort has resulted in the success he enjoys today.

Philip Chancellor

I needed a red carpet for a last minute event on a Saturday for that evening. I called Goen South and the owner Morris Goen personally called me back within an hour then met me at his warehouse, so I could pick the style I wanted then he drove it to the location and installed it himself. They are a great company to work with and I will not use anyone else for my future events.

Paige From Texas

Working with Goen South was a fantastic experience. Our planner, Alexandra Bowman, especially made the experience worthwhile. Our wedding was gorgeous down to the minor details. Highly recommend and thank them for their service!

Mike Fry

Wonderful experience working with Morris.

Rebecca Johnson

We had a fantastic experience using Goen South as our DMC in San Antonio. Our transportation was organized, our awards dinner was beautiful and our team building was a great time. They came through on everything!

Judy Larson

Kacie and her team took our ideas and thoughts and turned it into a spectacular event and experience for our first President's Diamond Ball. Everything was executed with precision and flawlessly!

Michael Cruz

Goen South is San Antonio's premier DMC company. They have such great culture and are always helping their employees. They have helped my good friend become such a well versed sales manager. She is always speaking so highly of the company.

Mary Ellen Miller

We have been working with Goen South for a number of years, and have developed a wonderful partnership with them. All the staff is professional, courteous, knowledgeable and fun! The events produced by Goen South are spectacular and award winning. From the great attention to detail to the overall big picture of the event, Goen South delivers 100%. We consider Goen South to be true TEXperts!

Mindy Miller

Goen South recently donated decor for a Studio 54 event hosted to raise funds for Fiesta Cornyation charities. From red carpet, velvet rope & stanchions, fabulous marquis lights, to an uplit bar, disco balls, silver drapery & linen, every detail was accounted for, the staff was professional & courteous and substantial money was raised for Beat AIDS, Thrive Youth Center, and the San Antonio AIDS Foundation. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoy working with the Goen South DMC team & San Antonio DMC, especially when they’re willing to give back in such a generous way to the local community.

Treniss Evans

Pleased to work continually with a reputable event company. They live up to expectations and deliver what you pay for on time!

Angie Henegar

Luanne was AMAZING! She was so easy to work with, she was very responsive, and always made me feel like I was her only client. We had an event at the Alamo. She arranged EVERYTHING, down to the heaters needed since it was cooler that night. They gave us multiple options and had everything in the proposal. I cannot say enough good things. Lauren our onsite contact was always available and very helpful.

Sarah Johnson

Goen did an unbelievable job at are National Sales meeting over 5 days at La Cantera in January 2019. We had the pleasure of working with Morris Goen has his team for 2 years in a row. Excellent transfer service from the airport for over 350 people, nightly events with amazing décor. Wonderful employees in the office and set up crew. Everything went great and the entire team had a ball, especially at 80's night, ask Morris for a photo. If you have a DMC need, GOEN is Five Star! Sarah Johnson - 3M Personal Safety Division

Angi Mendez

I can not say enough GREAT things about Goen South. Everyone from the support staff to Terry and Morris are incredible! My history working with this team spans over 4 years now. I am so comfortable working with this team that I pretty much give them complete creative freedom for each event. THANK YOU Goen South!

Gary Jones

I have had the opportunity to work with the Goen South Team on several occasion and their creativity, professionalism and attitude is always fabulous and appreciated

Laura Wietlispach

GOEN South was great to work with and very accomodating!

Cara Jacobsen

Morris Goen and his team are remarkable to work with. They are fast with responses, have clean proposals that are easy to read, and are willing to work with budgets as best they can. We had a high profile dinner here at the Hotel Emma that had an odd hollow square set design for dinner. The Goen South team took the look and trunks, lanterns, succulents, and other larger items to fit both the Emma feel and make it feel like a fantastic centerpiece so the void of the hollow square was not noticeable. It was a beautiful look and really wow'd the customer. Carlos, Morris' designer and florist, is also amazing. I had a wake (last minute of course) and Carlos put together some beautiful and creative yellow flowers with white vessels. They were so subtle but added so much to the room, especially since the person who passed absolutely loved yellow flowers. The pieces were small and delicate and something I would never have thought to purchase. Overall, I love that the Goen South team listens to what I need for any event and will put something together that fits. If it's not perfect, we tweak it, and perfection happens.

Kristy Welsh

We have used Goen South as our production/design company for our 1,500-guest holiday party for the past two years and we love working with them! They are knowledgeable on event spaces and vendors, they are creative and they are willing to partner with you to design an amazing event. It is a pleasure working with them on the holiday party events as well as other smaller events. Whatever your size event, they work hard at making it a huge success.

Ranaldo A. Ruiz Jr.

Happy to be apart of Goen South. We as a company are happy to assist/provide the events presented at this location.

Ariel Foss

I absolutely LOVE working with Goen South! They are my go-to contacts for any event needs that I have. They have provided the best games, decor, etc. for my clients. The entire team is super responsive and always ready to help and think outside the box! Highly recommend!

Joe Caruso

Attention to detail, flawless execution, they not only meet—they exceed expectations. When Goen South produces an event, it's special. Total pros!

Todd Kabes

Working with Goen South Events was so easy. They are seasoned pros who know exactly what needs to be done and they make it happen. You can feel confident that your ideas will be implemented correctly and that your event is everything you expect it to be. We love working with Goen South.

Danielle Gollenberg

John and team did a wonderful job listening to our group's needs and executing a fun and unique experience in San Antonio!

The Kennedy Show

I have had the pleasure of partnering with the Goen South Team on events for over four years now. Working as a hospitality professional, they NEVER cease to amaze me, and my clients. Innovation and creativity are two words that instinctively come to mind when describing this company. Not to mention the ENTIRE staff is a joy to work with! Have a single thought, or idea of something you might want, then seeing that thought transformed into reality is mind blowing. They do this every day! I mean..who has a transportable bar made from a truck?! They do! Who can turn a dining room into a garden paradise? They can! From corporate to social events, Morris, Terry and their team have their hands in it all. They personally make sure every detail is taken care of, and you feel it as their client. I would know, I not only work with them professionally, I could think of no one else when it came to my own wedding! They are incredible, a one stop shop to create a fantastic and memorable event for all guests!

My good friend Jennifer Sheets has blossomed working for Goen South, San Antonio's premier DMC company. I worked with her at her very first job where she found the love for events. She is always promoting and recruiting employees over to the company as well as different businesses. She always has her work that on so everyone can experience the one of a kind service and event design they offer.
