“I hired Bethany as our day-of coordinator for my daughter's wedding last weekend, August 20, 2021. My goal was to no have to do anything but enjoy my daughter’s wedding. Bethany was a saint. First of all, Bethany came in and educated ME on everything she would do for us. I had no idea I was basically done planning when I hired her. My daughter and I are very organized and had finished almost everything but were blown away when we met with her. She came up with a timeline (I didn’t know we needed one) and we did. She responded to any texts, emails, or calls so promptly with our questions. She ran the rehearsal perfectly and was at the venue early the next day. The wedding was on a Friday evening. I didn’t do anything that day. If I noticed something I just told her, and it was taken care of. She had drink orders ready for the wedding party right after the ceremony which was amazing. Everything moved along with her timeline perfectly. Our runner didn’t work in the wet grass, so she came up with another way to use it. She also handled an issue with the bakery for us post-wedding. Also, she is super sweet which is icing on the top! I would highly recommend her. She KNOWS weddings. Her family owns a wedding venue in Texas. She also does wedding photography and video. I give her five stars!”

Client Feedback
“Bethany was absolutely incredible, would give her more stars if I could. I cannot stress enough how helpful and on top of everything she was. Because of her we had so much less stress on our wedding day and the weeks leading up to it because she took care of so many of the details and preparation to ensure that everything went smoothly and on schedule and it was so worth the money. We booked her for "day of" but she helped us so much in the month leading up to the wedding and even many months before that. We felt like we were in such great hands with her and that she really allowed us to leave things in her hands and we could be confident that they would be handled while we enjoyed ourselves, which is one of the greatest things anyone can provide on your wedding day! Thanks so much, Bethany!”

“Bethany was great to work with and absolutely amazing on the day of our wedding! She didn't make the day about her but behind the scenes everything ran so smoothly and everything just magically was taken care of. On top of that, Bethany went above and beyond her duties when our old Golden Retriever had a little pee accident before her grand entrance. Bethany cleaned it up without hesitation and had everyone ready to go. I would definitely recommend Bethany for coordinating your wedding!

“Bethany was the coordinator for the day of our wedding and was amazing. 5 stars hands down.She is extremely responsive and on top of things. There’s no stone left unturned. We met up with Bethany at the venue close to our wedding date along with the venue director, caterer, and bar contacts for a final review and walkthrough. That meeting and walkthrough immediately made us feel that we had absolutely nothing to worry about for the day of. Bethany knew how to get everyone on the same page in regards to the timeline. On the wedding day, Bethany was a rockstar. She was cool as a cucumber and did a great job of keeping everyone updated on what to do and where to go. She even stayed until the very end and helped us pack a bunch of our stuff up in boxes. It was probably 11pm or so at this point. While all of our vendors were great, she honestly was a huge part in making sure everything came together seamlessly.”

“I don't have enough words in my vocabulary to describe just how amazing our experience with Bethany from Ivory Oaks was. She's incredible. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, there were many times when my partner & I said "we don't know what we'd do without Bethany!" And now that our wedding is over, we can confidently say that she is a key reason for the success of our special day.
Bethany was there to answer every question along the way. She gave recommendations when we needed them. There wasn't a single issue she couldn't help us navigate through. She kept all of our vendors organized and on-time. On our wedding day, she was organized and managed to make our day as stress-free as possible. Hiring Bethany was the best decision we made for our preparations and our wedding day. She's amazing and I'd recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.”

Vendor Feedback
We are an event venue that has worked with Bethany on both large and small weddings. Her industry knowledge and supportive manner takes the stress out of wedding planning for her clients. Bethany understands the varied aspects of the wedding industry and guides her clients with the her kind spirit, happy personality and do-all attitude. Bethany goes above and beyond in making sure her couple's vision is brought to life, down to the detail, while supporting vendors on-site to create a beautifully cohesive, thoughtful and well managed event.

My husband and I are DJs recently worked with Bethany from Ivory Oaks for the first time (for a wedding in April of 2022). We absolutely loved working with her.
Bethany was amazing to communicate with and work with from the first email we corresponded on through the execution of the event when the three of us were the last out the door. She was on top of every detail, went above and beyond to be sure that everyone on the vendor side was informed and prepared, impressively predicted things during the wedding, and made sure the wedding was flawless (it was!). I was so impressed by the detailed and clear timeline she provided, which was beyond what we’ve come to expect.
Her kindness is a joy, and I really appreciated her ability to be an advocate for our clients when needed. Bethany is absolutely wonderful, and we will absolutely be seeking out opportunities to work with her whenever we can.

As an Event Designer at a high end caterer, I work with so many planners! While a large majority of the planners I have the pleasure of working with are amazing, Bethany at Ivory Oaks is beyond exceptional! She understands the ins and outs of planning, is super responsive with both vendors and clients, and is just a true joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing planner with many years of experience not only planning, but also managing venues, working as a photographer, and many other aspects of weddings and events!
