On this Memorial Day, let us remember that true appreciation goes beyond words. 🇺🇸

It is found in the way we live, honor, and uphold the values our heroes fought to protect.

Today and always, may we embody the spirit of service and sacrifice that defines our nation.

Meet the Team Monday! 😊

After being in the events industry for more than a decade, Sarah has a knack for cultivating relationships with some of the industry’s premier practitioners.

She perfected her diplomacy and mastered the fine art of celebrating the cultural richness of diverse people and regions while traveling around the country as part of the advance team for the President. (Yep, *that* President! 😉)

Sarah’s wedding clients find her attention to detail and calming demeanor to be invaluable assets. She loves being a creative consultant, idea innovator, etiquette expert, soiree stylist, and protocol professional.

Sarah aspires to one day be a contestant on the Amazing Race, however, until the casting agents call, she'll continue to enjoy being a dog mom to Lucas, refinishing furniture, playing bingo, and going on mission trips with her church.

Just like you've found your perfect match, we want your coordinator to be the perfect match, too!

That's why we evaluate which member of our team is best qualified for each individual client and their specific event.

For example, we look for experience at the venues, and previous work between the coordinator and the vendor team. We also take into consideration any personal traits our clients feel would be a good fit for their families.

Basically, we aim to complete the dream team that you've already begun to pull together. ✨ So you can have the perfect wedding experience!

Meet the Team Monday! 😊

Born and raised in the Dallas area, Colleen made the move south to Austin in 2013 and has never looked back. An experienced hospitality professional, she spent several years in some of Austin’s top restaurants as a pastry chef before trading in her spatula to become a nonprofit event coordinator.

Colleen planned her own wedding in 2018 in Dripping Springs, the wedding capital of Texas. Ever the thrifty spender, her proudest moment of wedding planning was being able to snag a boutique dress for half price. 🙌

At home, you’ll likely find her tending to her many plant babies or her two rescued fur babies, a pug named Buckley and a Catahoula mix puppy named Saoirse. She also enjoys binge watching the latest trash TV on Netflix, and is expanding her musical talents by learning to play the banjo. 🪕

06/04/2023

You'll never regret investing in the important moments. ✨

03/04/2023

You've done all the hard work to prepare for your wedding. (You're a rockstar! ⭐)

So, is it really necessary for us to start working 6 weeks out? In short, YES.

At the 6-week mark you'll typically have a better idea of what your guest count will be, making this the perfect time to solidify final set-up choices at the venue.

Plus, you'll still have a few more weeks to turn in final head counts for food, rentals, and florals, so we'll be able to work together to meet those deadlines.

Making sure everything is lined up and you have exactly what you need is how we ensure a happy, relaxed wedding day experience!

Visit our website today to learn more about what makes our approach stand apart, and let's connect today.

⭐ Venue Spotlight: Le San Michele ⭐

We love weddings at this beautiful Texas venue, and here's why:

The luxurious 12-acre country estate features an elegant two-story limestone house inspired by the Old World styles of Europe.

Inside, it's immaculately furnished with antiques, wood cabinetry, ceramic tile floors, and wrought-iron fixtures.

Step outside and Le San Michele boasts unparalleled scenery and a welcoming ambiance day and night, complete with gorgeous gardens. (The perfect spot for photos, if we do say so ourselves. 😉)

Truly, it's a showstopper, and one of our favorite wedding locations. Check out to learn more!

Our favorite thing about spring? ALL the beautiful weddings.

But we're a little biased. 😉

We love a summer wedding, and this was one of our favorites!

That's right — a little to July 2021 at the stunning Salamander Resort in Middleburg, Virginia.

A beautiful location for an even more beautiful couple, Heather and John. 🥂

Our Plan B is always as strong as our Plan A! 💪

When you hire the Etc. team, we keep all your important wedding details in the Cloud. This way, we never have to worry about information being "locked" on someone's computer should a last-minute change come up.

Our entire service is designed to manage, minimize, or eliminate the unexpected, and we always have a plan in place to make sure your day runs smoothly!

Hotel managers and day-of coordinators are not created equal — although they both play a very important role in your big day! 💍

Each position has a totally different set of responsibilities, but together we make the perfect team!

To learn more about how we can work seamlessly with your venue staff and what services we provide, give us a call or send us a DM today.
