A Blessed Experience

When it came to deciding which Planner would carry our visions and plans, it really was no decision at all! We knew Monique and her team at Wise Events was the Planner and Friend we needed to ensure that our dreams came true.

We loved every bit of our process with the team from the consultation meeting, vendor calls, walk-throughs, text/call and follow-ups. Wise Events did not miss a beat!

In this industry you will find a lot of people that will over promise but under deliver which can be disappointing especially at such a beautiful milestone in your life.

Wise Events will not disappoint you - if you think you’re invested in your day, trust that they are invested 10 times more.

Wise Events has true passion in making your event a success and everyone on the team is kind hearted. We were so blessed to have partnered with them for our wedding!

A Blessing!

I'm so grateful for the opportunity of meeting Monique and the Wise Events team! Filming my first Houston wedding was an absolute breeze thanks to her, I'm truly thankful. The experience was second to none and I'd be honored to work with Wise Events & Design again!

Month-of Planning Services

We booked Wise Events “month-of” planning services. Per the contract, these services kick-in ~6 weeks before the wedding but Monique consistently checked-in with me throughout the entire planning process. She truly cares about her brides. She remains calm in the mist of the wedding-chaos. She helped ensure our day ran smooth and most importantly— the bride was at peace.

Monique went above and beyond for us by attending our traditional Nigerian wedding which took place 2 days before our American wedding. This speaks to her commitment to her couples and genuine-nature.

Since we booked month-of planning, all vendors were confirmed prior to Monique’s services beginning (note: this wasn’t requirement), so we didn’t get to leverage any vendor discounts/vendor relationships that she may have. But Monique is well-connected in Houston and I’m sure she will go the distance to ensure her couples get the best vendor for the best price.
