    Our Daughter's Dream Wedding

    Hiring Carolyn Mills, Sweet Tea Events, was simply the best decision we made for our daughter's amazing wedding at Iron Manor. Together we planned and executed the wedding of our daughter's dreams. Not only does Carolyn respond immediately to texts, emails, and calls, she actually replies to questions with decisive and sound answers. Every time I felt flustered, one call to Carolyn fixed things. Without exception, every vendor we worked with from the venue to the Drywater Band knew her name and said they loved working with her. I enjoyed every minute of our daughter's wedding day and didn't have to worry about a thing because Carolyn took care of every detail. On top of everything, Carolyn is exceptionally kind, patient, caring and fun to work with. The Sweet Tea Event Co. is a gem should you be so fortunate to work with them.

    Mother of the Bride best gift

    Carolyn Mills was such an asset to helping us plan a destination wedding in Montgomery, Texas. She was readily available for the planning leading up to the wedding, knowledgeable of and well respected by vendors in the area that she would be working with, helpful with decor, transportation, and timeline questions, creative with signage needed for the event, and very friendly and easy to work with. Carolyn was the best gift I could give myself for my daughter’s wedding!

    The best there is!

    From our very first phone call, Carolyn was on top of everything! From reviewing our contracts, to setting up meetings leading up to our wedding, she nailed down every detail we wanted. On the day of, we had to worry about absolutely nothing but having the time of our lives!

    Carolyn got every detail, big and small, right.
    From the linens, place settings, signage, coordination with other vendors, timelines, meeting the venue's guidelines, and a rehearsal with the groomsmen, she got everything perfect. She had extra help at our wedding, and both were outstanding. They even had to-go boxes for my now-wife and I packed for when we left the venue as our own late night snack!

    If you truly want to enjoy your day with no stress, and professionals on your side to know which adjustments to make if they are needed, Sweet Tea is your go-to!

    Didn’t have to worry about a thing

    Carolyn was extremely helpful throughout our wedding planning process. She was quick to respond to every email, text or call. Our day was perfect, on schedule, and a lot of fun, thanks to Carolyn! Using linens and decor through Carolyn was also super easy and well worth it.

    Best Coordinator in all TX.

    Carolyn was a wonderful friend to wedding plan with and we couldn't have had a better experience. She provided the best of everything, from planning, coordinating, vendor decisions, linens, designing and styling... literally everything. Our dream wedding was only possible because of her expertise and delightful personality. We can't thank her enough. Very friendly and always resolving our every stress of wedding planning. Highest recommendations and gratitude to our new friend forever, Carolyn and STL! She should be everyone's first call after the proposal :)

    Exceptional!

    My daughter’s wedding was postponed twice due to the pandemic. The final date available to us was one on which our wedding planner already had a previous commitment. She promised to leave us in great hands with another “day of” coordinator, and she did just that! Carolyn came in as if she had been part of the planning process all along. The wedding day was completely stress free for the bride, groom & parents, as Carolyn made certain every detail was covered. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend her!

    Sweet Tea and Linen's reply:

    Thank you so much Sandra! It was truly an incredible honor and extreme pleasure to Celebrate with you all!!

    November 2019 Wedding

    My husband and I used Sweet Tea and Linen for rentals including drink menu chalkboards, rustic cupcake stands, flower girl basket, and chair signs. We also opted for arbor draping at The Carriage House in Conroe, TX. Carolyn has a plethora of options to choose from for arbor draping colors and more. Upon arrival on the day of, the gentleman that hung the arbor draping asked me to come out and sneak a peek of it before he left to ensure it was exactly what we envisioned. They arrived promptly and brought all necessary rental items to the venue and they also picked them up at the end of the evening. There are many budget friendly items that we chose that really helped make our special day beautiful.

    Absolutely Amazing! Highly recommend

    Carolyn is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! As my now husband said to me “Our coordinator is definitely our best booked vendor and best money spent the whole wedding”. She is so sweet and personable and we knew we wanted her to help coordinator and plan our special day the instant we started talking to her. She is very knowledgeable about the industry and goes above and beyond to make your special day absolutely perfect! She was able to help bring my vision to life and made my wedding more perfect than I could’ve ever imagined. Her day of coordination package includes partial planning too! From the start she stayed so plugged into all our vendor selections, helped with the design and putting things together, and we got all our rentals from her as well. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions or requests. She’s so creative and has such brilliant ideas for things from snack and bubble tea table set ups to photo displays, wedding signage, table centerpieces, and much much more. She made the whole process very simple and stress free, especially the day of the wedding. Our family and wedding party loved her too. Her mom also help set up the day of and she’s just as sweet. We are so thankful they were both part of our special day and made it everything that it was. We can’t thank Carolyn enough!

    Carolyn is amazing!

    Carolyn was incredible! Could not have done this on our own. She always had everything in control, she was in consistent contact with all the vendors and lined everything up. She knows her stuff and is a true professional!

    Sweet Tea and Linen's reply:

    It was such an incredible honor to celebrate McKenzie and Kyle with you all. I honestly don't have words for how much I adore each of you!! Thank you so much!!

    The sweetest and best coordinator!

    We could not have planned our wedding without Carolyn. Her years of knowledge and expertise made the process much smoother and less stressful. She went above and beyond to make sure that our day was as special as possible. She carved out time for us to have a few minutes alone after the ceremony, and I cannot tell you how valuable that was for us. We also rented the LOVE marquis letters from her, which were a huge hit with all of our guests. Her collection of rentals allows for any style of wedding and allows you to not stress at all. From all of the meetings to the day of, we knew that we could count on her for anything that we needed. She was by far the best vendor that we booked!!

    What style! What grace! We held a post-elopement happily ever after celebration for friends and family in Austin and Carolyn - working in a venue she had never seen - brought it all to life with her amazing props and decorating flair. She worked magic with our bulk flowers and brought special touches to every corner of the reception hall. Her vintage style was perfect for us! She's also a dear to work with and offered lots of smart advice on everything from how much booze to buy to how to best display three cakes (all of this was particularly helpful since we live across the country). Thanks, Carolyn, for bringing our vision to life - even when we weren't sure of the vision ourselves!

    Carolyn was an absolute treat to work with and made our day so special. We literally would not have had the amazing, stress-free experience we had without her. The peace of mind she gave me as the bride and my mother was phenomenal. She is unmatched and made EVERYTHING easier. We even had several issues with our venue that she handled, and some minor last minute questions for the DJ, and she handled everything professionally and made it a win-win for both myself and the vendors. She is WONDERFUL!!

    I have so many lovely things to say about Carolyn from Sweet Tea and Linen. The ease of our wedding truly would not have been possible without her.

    She cares about her clients, a value that my husband and I greatly appreciate. She worked diligently to make sure that we had our wedding visions come to life.

    Carolyn is incredibly kind, a fantastic communicator, highly skilled, very organized and great at what she does.

    Trust us, you definitely want Carolyn as part of your wedding. She’s amazing!!

    Where do I start? Sweet Tea and Linen are fabulous!!! My wedding day was nearly flawless because of their coordination services. Carolyn is extremely accessible and easy to reach. She has a great inventory of decor that gives a wedding that personal touch. Very reasonably priced and worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. I honestly couldn't have done it without her. Do yourself a favor, and hire Carolyn Mills as your wedding coordinator. You won't regret it!

    Amazing Coordinating and Decorating!

    Carolyn is the best planner and decorator we could have asked for to help make our wedding a beautiful reality. We hired her as a "day-of coordinator" and she work with me beginning 12 weeks before the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. She is so kind and easy to work with, and she answered my calls at any time of day to make sure I felt comfortable. Carolyn also did all of the decorating for the wedding, and her attention to detail is outstanding. She made our wedding a dream and I could not have made it happen with out her. Thank you so much Carolyn!

    There are no wedding planners more amazing, more kind or more devoted to the bride and the groom, than John and Carolyn! My husband and I miss seeing them as frequently as we used to because they feel like they’ve become part of our family. Carolyn goes above and beyond what she charges for her wedding planning services and John was so willing to help us in any way possible. At one point, I asked Carolyn if she knew what the cost was for about 50 different types of flowers and foliage and she immediately went to a wholesale vendor to figure out each price and continued to ask them questions when I wanted to know prices for 10 additional types. She also came out to my Bridals photography shoot to help with logistics, she helped me with the train, and she helped open up the venue and close it when we were done. That is not something that was in the contract but she wilingly helped! She would send me emails and texts just asking how we were doing and felt more like a friend and part of the family instead of a vendor we paid to help us for our wedding. She adores wedding planning and does such an amazing job along with her wonderful husband John! She will put in the extra effort and she is very detail oriented. I never was worried about anything related to vendors or planning and was able to have the time of my life. Carolyn and John will make your wedding wonderful and give you the opportunity to sit back relax and let them handle everything for you.

    They are absolutely great! I could not have had a more perfect wedding day without Sweet Tea and Linen! I would've been so lost without Carolyn! We felt like she really understood us and took our vision for the wedding to the next level. I showed her pictures of things I really liked and they made it happen. Not only did they decorate our entire wedding but she was there for us throughout the entire event. I highly recommend their service!

    We were absolutely blown away by the level of service given by Sweet Tea and Linen at our wedding. Carolyn's level of attention to detail, and her years of wedding experience made sure that our wedding day went perfect without a hitch. From our first phone call with her, Carolyn made sure to put all of our concerns at ease. Carolyn has the most amazing selection of rentals and décor! She supplied a variety of vintage items for our wedding, everything from massive four foot tall LOVE letters, to candle holders, to welcome signs, a seating area, and not to mention Carolyn's beautiful styling of it all so that everything just looked perfect! We used three of her vintage couches for our lounge area at our wedding. People just kept talking about how loved them as well as off of the décor! We also had four foot tall LOVE letters that were a big hit! Our guests loved taking selfless with them. But what truly stood out to us about Sweet Tea and Linen was how easily Carolyn made us feel at home from the first moment we walked through her door. Sweet Tea and Linen made sure to take all of our wants into consideration, and a gave us a variety of choices in services that fit within our budget. We are full time wedding photographers, so we know many people in the wedding industry. Having worked with Carolyn at dozens of weddings over the years, and we always looked forward to knowing that the wedding would look absolutely beautiful down to the last detail. Carolyn was on top of everything throughout our wedding, and we were totally blown away with the beautiful décor that she used. She even helped style some of our stuff too! They say that everything is in the details, and Sweet Tea and Linen has that in spades! We can't recommend her enough! By having Sweet Tea and Linen supply our settings and details, we knew that we would be able to walk away at the end of our wedding night while they continued to work until late gathering up the rentals. Talk about stress free!

    John and Carolyn Mills are a super couple when it comes to wedding planning. Their warehouse is filled with anything and everything you could possible think of for a wedding, fit for any bride. Both of them are so sweet, patient, kind and they really listen to what you want for your special day. Carolyn was available 24/7 in case I needed anything or had any questions and she really made the night flow as she guided my groom and I to the next special moment. I couldn't have chosen better people to help me plan my wedding reception.
    Thank you so much, John and Carolyn! You guys are amazing!

    Carolyn went above and beyond in helping to plan our special day at Big Sky Barn. We hired her for day of coordination and decor. Her decor inventory is awesome and she even made personalized signs for our ceremony and reception. She was a great resource for us during the planning process, especially regarding koozies, sparklers for our grand exit, and dishes for the reception. During our reception, Carolyn and John were amazing and kept everything moving smoothly. They even fixed a plate for the bride and groom and made sure we had drinks in hand at the appropriate times for toasts, etc. We highly recommend Sweet Tea & Linens!
