Julia Sent on 01/12/20245/5 Stars - AMAZING Wedding Planner!
Julia Stone is hands down the only reason why our wedding was a success! From the very beginning she was responsive, friendly, and uber helpful. She always answered calls, emails, and texts quickly -- regardless of how important the message was about. She always listened to my ideas and concerns and helped me to find the best path forward in accomplishing my wedding goals! Julia is so organized and paid attention to the smallest of details. Her organization system for her clients is thorough and I relied heavily on it! She also was able to help me find vendors that were reputable and well-rated, including a photographer for our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks event! She made things so much easier by corresponding and keeping ALL of our vendors up-to-date on details, too. She was so quick in problem-solving, and her calm demeanor was integral in making me feel like everything was under control throughout the whole planning process and the wedding. I feel like Julia really got to know us and what we wanted. We were on the fence about hiring a wedding planner/coordinator, but looking back I don't think we could have done it without one... Or without JULIA! I HIGHLY recommend her! 5/5 stars! -

Julia….words cannot describe how amazing she is. She is an absolute must to have on your team. My wedding planning was as chill as can be. If I had questions, she was always available by phone, text, or email. The day of the wedding seconds before one of my bridesmaids walked down the aisle, a button snapped on her dress and Julia swung in and had it fixed before she hit the door. The bustle broke on my dress and she crawled underneath my dress to safety pin it up so I wouldn’t trip down the stairs. She went above and beyond and made everything so easy. -

Julia is amazing at what she does! We had Julia assisting us with our reception space and vendors we had won from a wedding service contest! She was very organized, which as a type A bride I absolutely loved along with a great communicator. She coordinated with our wedding planner and each individual vendor to ensure one vision for our perfect day and that everything arrived on time and was set up beautifully! We could not have had our wedding reception for 350 people over 10,000 square foot warehouse all ready to go without Julia!!! -

I cannot brag enough about how amazing Julia with Set in Stone Events is. I booked her at least 1.5 years before my wedding, and she was super helpful throughout the entire time leading up to my big day. My husband and I hired her mainly to coordinate since we planned the majority of our wedding, but Julia did so much to relieve any and all stress I was experiencing, especially in the last few months leading up to the wedding. I would send her lengthy emails, random texts as my brain remembered small things to ask, etc. (even when we were still a year or more out from the wedding), and she was always super professional and prompt with her responses. We are all human and need grace at times, and Julia was really good about showcasing this trait throughout my time working with her. She handled all vendor communication 1-2 months before the wedding, created the ceremony & reception hall floor plans, made a day-of timeline, and executed our day wonderfully. She also reworks the day-of schedule as little hiccups come up throughout the day but still makes sure everything gets done before the end of your event. If there is any advice I can give to fellow brides, it’s this: hire a coordinator, and let it be Julia. It’s 100% worth it. You not only hire someone who is super easy to work with and will execute your day amazingly; you also gain a wonderful friend in your life. Julia and I still text here and there even after my wedding; she truly is such a down to earth human that I cannot thank enough! -

Even with a modest wedding budget, I was sure we wanted to hire the services of coordinator, even if only for day of! My fiance (now husband) took some initial convincing, but once he met Julia he was as sold on the idea as I was. We ended up working with Julia for nearly a year to plan our wedding, and I am so glad we found her! The day of the wedding, the last thing I wanted to do was worry about logistics, other vendors, a timeline etc. Julia took care of all of that, even taking the time to sit with me and give me water/calm me down ahead of my walk down the aisle. Julia is down-to-earth and really takes what each couple needs to heart. She uses her significant industry expertise to navigate putting together a wonderful day that is unique to us. I could go on. Basically, if you're a Houston area/Texas bride especially - look no further than Julia. You will not regret it.
Not only did Julia help design, plan, and coordinate our wedding, but she also became someone both my husband and I now consider a friend. I cannot say enough how much we appreciate her. Thank you, Julia!
Love,

Julia and Valerie were absolutely incredible! I hired Julia to be my day of coordinator and it was one of the best decisions I could have made.

Megan G. Sent on 01/11/2021Hands down the best planner out there!!
Selecting Julia with Set In Stone Events as my event coordinator had to be one of the most valuable pieces of my wedding day that I will always remember and cherish. I was lucky enough to be given her information from a band I was inquiring about early on in my planning. Although the band did not get the booking, I am so grateful for their referral because Julia is hands down the best planner out there! My first meeting with her felt so natural, just felt like friends catching up together. She made me feel at ease with planning my wedding from start to finish. My budget was honored in every aspect, always respecting our choices as well as offering amazing vendor referrals! I had her for Month-Of planning, but she would touch base with me about my progress and if I had any newly booked vendors about every other month or so. She was a very attentive planner, which made all the difference for me.
My fiancé and I had to postpone in 2019 for 2020 and she was with me every step in getting a new date locked in and timeline figured out. Neither of us could have expected what was to come of March 2020 (hello Covid-19) but Julia and her team kept things under control and professional. Even as a panicked bride with last minute guest cancellations, I knew Julia had our wedding as her top priority, keeping me as calm as possible while handling everything behind the scenes.
The experience I had for planning my wedding was made so much easier because of Julia. I highly recommend Julia with Set In Stone Events to any couple in the Houston area planning their wedding.

Exceptional Service, Flawless Execution, Using Again
Julia at Set in Stone Events was AMAZING. She took care of everything leading up to our wedding and was available to answer any and all questions and handle all the planning with vendors. The day of was flawless - she took care of everything, my family and I did not have to worry about a thing - she's on top of it 24/7 and you'd never know if there were hangups because she handles it flawlessly!
Her demeanor is calm, cool, and collected - she kept everyone grounded and stress-free. It was as perfect as I could have imagined. So good that she's already booked to do my brother's wedding next year - cannot recommend enough!
Lastly, the level of service she delivers at her price point is worth every penny. There is not another vendor I have used that delivered as well as Set in Stone Events!Set in Stone Events's reply:

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for your family. You guys are incredible people & it's my absolute honor to help you & Wyatt. I cannot wait for Becca & Jeff's wedding in 2021! It's going to be amazing. -

Valery I. Sent on 09/23/2020Outstanding!!!
Julia was my rock throughout the entire wedding planning process (through COVID I would like to add lol). We booked her coordinating services about a year out and she made sure to do monthly check-ins and more often when the big day got closer. She had no hesitations with contacting our vendors to make any changes and even picked up our freaking cake!! Day of, I had ZERO worries/issues, literally. Julia handled everything and EVERYTHING was perfect. I can't thank her enough for allowing me enjoy the best day of my life. You will not have any regrets when booking her. Highly recommend!!!!!!!! -

Phoebe G. Sent on 09/14/2020The Best Day Thanks to the Best Coordinator
Words can't express how grateful I am for Julia and how she uses her talents and skills so selflessly for others. Getting married at the end of July in the middle of a pandemic and then, days before, learning of an incoming tropical storm gave me all the feelings. Thankfully, Julia was by my side throughout the process and was an incredible encourager and even better coordinator/planner. She is so personable, it didn't take long for our check-in calls to feel like planning my wedding with one of my girlfriends.
We had a beautiful day, rain and all, and it's thanks in large part to Julia's expertise, creativity, and flexibility. Given the restraints of COVID-19 and the rain, she was able to craft an excellent day-of-timeline for our day that allowed us to get beautiful photos to cherish (without getting drenched) and while helping us reduce mingling/socializing and still ensuring our guests had a great time. I really appreciate her connecting with our vendors through all of the changes, especially the ones that my husband and I made on the fly on the day of. Given all that's going on in the world, weddings just have to look different (for the time being) and I love how Julia is an out of the box thinker.
If you're considering working with Julia for your upcoming wedding or event, book her now! She is a gem and I couldn't imagine the wedding planning process or the actual day of without her. -

Adrienne S. Sent on 08/04/2020Julia is the best investment
Set In Stone Events was recommended to us and Julia lived up to her glowing recommendation! I was planning my Houston wedding from a different city and Julia was on top of everything. Being so far away I was worried how I would stay on top of things, but leading up to the wedding Julia was in constant communication and made my worries disappear. On the day of she created a stress free day and made sure everything ran smoothly. When the evening came to an end she put together a to go bag of food and cake that we took back to our hotel. That gesture was just the icing on the cake and I would choose her to be our coordinator again and again! Julia is seriously one of the best investments we made for our wedding! -

Julia Is The Calm In The Midst of Chaos
If you want someone who can manage a crisis flawlessly, Julia and her team are the folks for you. We hired Julia as our day of coordinator for our intimate 40-guest wedding at a local restaurant on March 14, 2020... the Saturday after they cancelled Rodeo, the president declared a national disaster, and the last wedding weekend of the pre-COVID era. As my wedding guests cancelled and last minute changes were needed to accommodate the constantly evolving circumstances, Julia took them all in stride and made sure our day went as best as possible. Vendor coordination, decor, music cues, timeline, payments, precious hand sanitizer - Julia made it happen. We could not have made it through that weekend without her! Even with so many unknowns at that time, she still made our wedding day the calm eye in the center of a storm. Thank you, Set in Stone!! -

Amanda S. Sent on 02/03/2020Literal life-saver!!
Julia has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She was always easy to contact and helped me keep track of what needed to be done and when. She also literally saved our day by finding someone to marry us when our officiant didn't show! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. She was easily the best money we spent. If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose her to be our coordinator again in a heartbeat!Set in Stone Events's reply:

Y'all are amazing! I had so much fun with y'all at every single Montrose & Heights coffee shop we could possibly find! How many did I make you go to? 4-5? HAHA! -

Jo-Anne S. Sent on 03/01/2022Couldn't Imagine My Wedding Without Julia
From the moment I met Julia I knew she would be the best fit for us as a wedding coordinator. Her professionalism, willingness to go above and beyond with vendor recommendations and anything we needed, as well as her open and friendly attitude throughout the entire process made planning our wedding so much easier and less stressful.
When my wedding dress needed last minute alterations the week of our wedding, Julia came through with great recommendations of someone willing to do a super last minute alteration. And throughout the day of our wedding she was a calming force, making sure everything was going smoothly, and that both me and my husband were taken care of and didn't have to worry about anything. Highly highly recommend her!! -

Natalie Sent on 03/16/2020So thankful for Julia!
My husband and I got engaged in August 2019 and our wedding was in February 2020. We were very excited to get married, a shorter engagement was the way to go for us (it also worked out with the Lenten season, as we wanted it to be before then!). So we were busyyy....reaching out to venues, photographers, make-up artist, finding our dress/tux, etc. After seeing how much some wedding planners/coordinators charged, I honestly convinced myself that we might be able to have a family friend help us with day of coordination. Well, beyond thankful that I vetoed myself and asked for a few more estimates for wedding day coordination. Julia responded to us same day and we had a phone call. When talking to Julia on our initial call...it was like talking to one of my good friends. She got me. She listened to me, she was cheerful, easy to talk to, positive, down to earth, and had great advice...she helped lift a huge weight off my shoulders! And the rest was wedding day bliss history.
By the time we found Julia, it was November, so we had just a few months left until our special day! She helped us to give recommendations, get quotes, and determine availability for those vendors we still needed to nail down. But that, was just the beginning! She came with us to our food tasting at the hotel where we held our reception (Le Meridien), continued to give great advice through the decision process of what linens, what centerpieces, Videographer rec (Big Camera Guy Hou - his work is amazing!), what size tables for sweetheart/cake, reaching out to all of our vendors before our wedding to make sure every one was on the same page. Not to mention...alright, I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for to do lists and organization...our day of timeline she put together for us. I thought I was good on making schedules, y'all. I'm here now to say that I had no clue and way in over my head! The level of detail was comforting and more importantly, helped her and all of our vendors stay on track the day of!
On the day of - she was there early in the day, brought me a Starbucks latte (even though I was too nervous to drink most of it), and got to work right away, making sure everything was perfect. From our place cards, table #'s, photo guest book, centerpieces, making sure everything arrived on time, floor layout was on point, and all things were in their pre-discussed place. Checking on us before our entrance to the reception (we had a break between ceremony/reception), keeping us calm as we walked towards the reception area...even participating with us in a quick "go team" hands in to shake my nerves. Making sure we had drinks throughout the night. Keeping us on schedule. Helping distribute tips to our wonderful vendors, making sure my mom and sister grabbed all of the guest gifts/cards, our decor items, etc.
I obviously cannot say enough about Julia! If you're still reading this, LOOK NO FURTHER. If she is available, seriously, work with her to book immediately!Set in Stone Events's reply:
Natalie -
Oh my god. You were such a pleasure to work with & thank you for allowing me to dive into all the details! I'm glad you liked the timeline, I am also a sucker for to do lists too.
Glad you had a fabulous experience! I look forward to staying in touch with you two. -

Julia was awesome, at first I was hesitant about having a coordinator but I’m glad that I did! She was able to meet me where needed, ( hard for me to travel far because my son)! So she always met me close to home. She was very responsive, and made my wedding day stress free! I was a DIY bride and she definitely helped a lot with set up! She was also very flexible with my schedule! I was very busy with school as well. Everyone raves how smooth everything went.Set in Stone Events's reply:

Absolutely amazing - stressfree!
Set In Stone is by far the most amazing, detailed, and stress-free experience I had while planning our wedding. We hired them for day of coordination and they exceeded expectations tremendously. I cant say enough praise for Julia's attention to details, management of the entire process, and communication. Especially since my husband and I lived 8 hours away in West Texas. She kept me focused every month and helped me create my perfect dream wedding!Set in Stone Events's reply:

Absolutely SO amazing getting to be apart of your wedding with MacKenzie. I was so honored to help y'all along the way. Since MacKenzie & I were old high school buddies, I am so happy that he picked the PERFECT WIFE. Hang next time you're in Houston? PLEASE. -
