The Best Wedding Planning Team Ever

Of you want the perfect stress free day ferventdesigns is who you should hire! There were so many stress-related incidents and stuff that had to be done but Rich and her team made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing! We had a beautiful stress free wedding and it would have been possible without them! Thanks so much and I definitely recommend them!

TL;DR - Enjoy your party and hire Fervent Designs to worry about the small things for you!

My husband and I met the Fervent Designs team at a wedding convention and we were initially hesitant to sign up for a consultation but after talking with Richandra (Rich) we decided, “why not do it, it’s free”. The initial call went well - Rich asked about us as a couple and how we envisioned our big day going from the venue to the color schemes, etc. We told her we were planning an out of town wedding and were possibly looking for help and ended the call saying to give us some time to think about hiring her. My husband and I talked it over and decided to hire them so the next day we emailed her and signed the contract for partial planning.
The first two months of our contract Rich made sure that we had our major vendors booked and gave us recommendations when needed. She also gave us an initial budget breakdown of roughly how much everything would cost which helped us see where we could make budget cuts (we also saved money by buying/hiring some services from Fervent Designs). Over the course of the next year she would send out emails checking in on us as well as sending us reminders of when things need to be done. PAY ATTENTION TO THE REMINDERS! It made our wedding day so much easier as we essentially had everything booked, planned, and paid for two weeks before the wedding.
The day of our wedding I was given a bridal assistant Alyssa who was amazing and made sure I was hydrated and cooled off in the summer Texas sun. The Fervent team also did an amazing job trying to keep the day on track as much as it could. Rich made sure that my husband and I ate and had drinks during the reception, which is something most couples forget to do. She also made sure that we got to take photos with family and friends, do our plushie toss (what we did in place of a bouquet / garter toss), and our sparkler send off; all of which we had discussed with her as being important aspects of our wedding. At the end of the night, the Fervent team packed up all of our belongings and food into our vehicle so all we had to do was get in and drive back to our hotel.
Keep in mind that no wedding or event will be perfect and there will always be hiccups. That said, the Fervent team helped to make the day as wonderful as possible and we are ever so happy we hired them to slay our day.

Excellence Beyond Measure

It's rare that I give a perfect score to an organization, but this rating is fitting. I've been to four events, two of which Richandra and Fervent Designs was the organizer; the two that FD did not organize contained many flaws that Richandra would have easily prevented.
