About

My name is Crystal Howard and I am the founder of LoveGush Events Inc. My passion for weddings started in 2008 when I got engaged. I spent countless hours researching every detail of my wedding. Finally, the day came and gone in what felt like a second. All that planning and it seemed to pass like a blink of an eye. Months after my wedding, I continued to stay current on popular wedding trends. I found myself reading wedding websites and browsing through magazines. I had done a lot of research on the wedding market and contemplated getting into the wedding planning industry. 5 years after my wedding, I decided to get certified to become a wedding planner.

In 2013, I became a certified wedding planner through NECI (Nuptial Essentials Curriculum and Instruction). Nuptial Essentials is the only wedding consultant school to have earned a license as a vocational school from the state of Texas. I have a genuine passion for the wedding industry and my mission is to work closely with you to create the wedding of your dreams! I truly believe that each wedding should be a reflection of a couple’s personal style and interests.

My extensive background in sales and event planning have enabled me to build strong relationships in the industry while utilizing the latest technology to stay ahead of trends, making your wedding stand out from the rest.

We look forward to making your wedding a dream come true!

Crystal helped me with my wedding last November, and to sum it up -- WOW -- I am so thankful and blessed that I found her!! As the first bride in my family and also in my friend group, I had no idea what I was doing or where to start; I was absolutely all over the place. Crystal took me on as a client and held my hand for nearly a whole year throughout every step of the wedding planning process. I 100% don't know what I would have done without her. Not only is she kind and calming, but she is great at what she does, and her passion for people and for her really shows. She had great advice, was super organized and on top of everything, and really made the process a breeze. She was always available to me at any time for any issue whether big or small, wedding related, or just bridezilla-type personal. She dug into so many different details of the wedding I never would have thought to plan out myself. On the big day, Crystal and her assistant handled absolutely everything -- bridal party and I didn't have to worry about a thing. My guests couldn't stop gushing about the decor she set up, the food she found for us, and the awesome DJ she suggested. Crystal & LoveGush truly made my special day one to remember, and I will forever be grateful to her-- HIGHLY recommend!!

Choosing LoveGush as my day of Coordinator was the best vendor decision I made during my wedding planning - and I had zero complaints about any of them. Not only was I so busy during my wedding planning, but I didn't know the first thing about weddings. I hired LoveGush for day of Coordination, but boy did I receive way more advice, help, and therapy from Crystal than I ever could have imaged. She went above and beyond for my husband and I for months. She made sure I completed different things on my checklist in a timely manner, and Always had a fantastic list of vendors at hand when I couldn't find what I was looking for. She took time out of her precious weekends to make multiple trips to the venue with me over a 6 month period and was always available when I needed questions answered. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about LoveGush. Thanks to Crystal, my wedding day was 100% worry free. She knows her stuff and is always on top of everything! Thank you so much!

Crystal is awesome!! If you're looking for a great wedding planner, then Crystal is your lady. We had the pleasure of working with her at a few events and that led to us working together on a video blog about the importance of including a videographer. She not only takes care of her customers, but the vendors as well. At the end of the day, everyone is beyond happy.
