Event Planner or Fairy Godmother?
Wedding planning can be very overwhelming and chaotic, so many people choose to hire a wedding planner. The show will host four savvy, trendy teams, ready to talk about creating a one-of-a-kind experience just for you.
Scheduled teams are JoAnn and John at Schwartz and Woodward; the ladies from Event Identity, A Splendid Event, and the mother daughter duo at A&E Weddings and Events.

No wedding is complete without a cake that’s equal parts delicious and beautiful. Vendors such as Nadine Moon at Who Made the Cake, Edible Designs by Jessie and Cakes by Gina will be on hand to answer any questions and offer scrumptious samples.
Wedding Seminar
Learn from the best wedding vendors in town, discover insider secrets to wedding planning and enter to win exclusive prizes such as the coveted Swag Bag at the Beyond the Basics Wedding Seminar. Houston’s wedding experts will take you behind the scenes and show you the ins and outs of wedding dos and don’ts.
