It's tough to know where to start with a review for Alex of XO Moreau because everything she touches turns to gold, as in the most vibrantly beautiful, well-designed and expertly organized event you've ever attended. We started working with Alex in late 2019 and by early 2020 she supported us logistically and emotionally as we chose to bump our wedding one year from 2021 to 2022. We were so appreciative of our her calm and understanding as we navigated tough decisions at this time.

When we came back together to plan our April 2022 wedding, I was anxious and excited for Alex to make our colorful, fun, spring design come to life. She more than delivered. She understood the vision and vibe perfectly. Alex remained mindful of our budget by picking out design elements with the biggest pop and bang for your buck. While I loved her execution of my personal ideas, I was most impressed with her creativity, the elements that really make an XO Moreau event extra special -- unique twists on traditional details and unexpected entertainment that helped us create a memorable event.

When our wedding day finally came, Alex was exactly the calm that we all needed. She had every small detail under control and did it all with ease. She cares deeply about her wedding couples and ensures their day is even better than in their dreams. And she even makes time to attend to the smallest of details like blowing leaves away from the front door guest entrance -- she is on top of every small detail! I should also add that her excitement and joy is infectious in the best way, throughout the entire planning process -- she is as invested in your day as you are, genuinely excited to help you bring it all together, and every step of the way her positivity squashed my anxieties and gave me the confidence to focus on myself and my partner on our wedding day.

Alex also cares deeply about her vendor relationships and has the best recommendations who can come together seamlessly to make your special day perfect. If I had the budget I would choose XO Moreau 100 more times, for every birthday and big event still to come in life, because her ideas are the epitome of a fun-filled, blow-your-mind beautiful, wildly creative celebration that brings joy to everyone in attendance. Best wedding planner in Austin, hands down.

I want to be Alex when I grow up. She is SO on top of it and has absolutely found her calling. She is the head sheriff in the wild, wild west of weddings and is honestly such a vibe.

Her eye for detail is incredible and the ideas she brought to the table were absolutely sick!!! Beyond ideas, she made it so easy to execute and connect with the right vendors to make our dream wedding come to life.

Alex is THE GAL you want in your corner. We so appreciate you, Alex!

From our initial call with Alex to saying good night after the reception, we never once faltered in our decision to work with her. She is funny, kind, diligent and truly one of the best people to have around you in a time that can be hectic and overwhelming.

As with any wedding there were personal ups and downs during the whole process, ie. family issues, budgeting roadblocks, global pandemic, etc. but not once did I stress about how they would affect the actual wedding day. We just knew that XO Moreau would be there to game plan with us and make it work.

She nailed our aesthetic preferences and style in one shot and made it come to life in a way that we still can't believe. Our wedding was beautiful and perfect and magical and whimsical and everything we wanted it to be. All of Alex's vendor recommendations were an absolute hit and people told us over and over again how it seemed to be the perfect representation of “us.” (Which is really just a testament to how much of an effort Alex made to get to know us.)

At the end of the evening we could honestly say that if anything went wrong or was out of place, we had no idea. We can look back at the day and night and truly say it was perfect.

I will forever tell people that the best decision we made during the wedding planning process was hiring Alex and the team at XO Moreau. So if you can, do it!
