We hired Crystal for "Just the Basics" Wedding Planning Package for our daughter's wedding. She developed a very effective schedule for the day and executed it flawlessly. She was extremely organized, professional, and prompt. She listened to the bride & groom's vision and made their dream wedding come true. As parents of the bride, it was so awesome to just be able to relax and enjoy our friends & family, as we were confident she had everything under control.

I highly recommend Crystal and her staff! Our wedding day could not have gone any more smoothly thanks to all of their help. Instead of working all day our parents got to enjoy the event as much as we did. Great organization and so much less stress for our whole wedding party!

Crystal Marek, the owner of Style and Grace Events was amazing. We decided to have a very short engagement (six weeks) and Crystal jumped in with two feet. She provided vendor referrals (all of which she contacted first to ensure availability), planning and etiquette advice, thought of things that I never would have and fielded all of our never-ending phone calls and emails. She was responsive and resourceful (when I spaced a tablecloth for the unity table) and was exceedingly cool under pressure. The wedding day events proceeded flawlessly under her direction - even when some of the vendors needed a little encouragement to remain on task. Her assistant was pleasant, hard working and helpful - she didn't even bat an eye when Crystal asked her to bolt to the store for some crackers and Pepto-Bismol (yes ladies, everyone's worst nightmare - I got sick during the reception - nausea, dehydration, etc.). My only regret with Crystal was that I didn't hand the whole wedding over for her to plan. It would have been 100% worth the money and I'm sure she would have done a better job, while still completely respecting our preferences.

I love to plan weddings, so I just asked Crystal to help with my daughter's reception. As the Mother of the Bride, I didn't want to be in charge of ANYTHING on that day! Crystal was absolutely amazing. She took care of any questions/issues that came up, worked with our caterer to ensure everything ran smoothly, and afterwards straightened up the many different areas we had used, and left me NOTHING to do! I thoroughly enjoyed the reception, knowing everything was being taken care of. Our flower vendor even mentioned what a pleasure it was to work with her. I would highly recommend Crystal's load-lifting, stress-reducing abilities!

Crystal helped my Mom and me out so much before and during my wedding. I would definitely recommend her to any other bride-to-be who has a need for an MC or just questions about Austin weddings in general!

I would highly recommend Style & Grace Events for anyone looking for wedding planning and coordination services. They are very professional and organized. I did not have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding as they handled it all. From organizing vendor arrival times, to ensuring the ceremony got started on time, and to helping speed the picture taking process along. Crystal is wonderful and very knowledgable about weddings.

Crystal was wonderful througout the wedding planning process. She was always there whenever we needed her for suggestions for planning the wedding, and when the big day came into action. It was very difficult to plan an out of town wedding and Crystal made it happen so smoothly for my husband and myself. I will always remember when Crystal made a special trip out to the wedding venue by herself to help the organization and layout of the tables so that the flow of events would seem like the back of your hand. She made this great computer layout so I could send it out to all the help that was going to be there that way everyone was on the same page. It was also very pleasing to see it all come together on paper as it was in my vision. I believe Crystal went above and beyond what we asked of her and with that said anyone who has worked with or met her she truely does have a passion for weddings. And if you haven't yet you are missing out! If I ever come across anyone that is getting married I suggest Style & Grace Events no matter if they have an event planner or not.

Crystal was amazing. She was easy to work with and made sure everything went perfectly! There is nothing I would change about my day! I just hired her for the day of logistics and the day before set up. Her services are definitely the best bargain for the flexibility I needed in my package. I couldn't be happier with the result.

Crystal Marek with Style & Grace Events coordinated my wedding in January of this year. She did a wonderful job and really helped keep things on track. Crystal is very professional and it is obvious through her work that she has a lot of experience. The ceremony and reception has the potential to be such a stressful time for the bride as well as the family -- Crystal ensures everything flows smoothly and really helped keep us relaxed! I would highly reccomend Style & Grace Events for your wedding or any other even you are planning!

Style & Grace was easy to work with and gracious in making special accommodations to meet our needs. I wouldn't want to execute a wedding without their help!
