The Best Dallas Wedding Planners

You're finally engaged, you're planning your wedding, and you want to see who the best Dallas wedding planners are to help you plan your perfect day! Below are three of the top wedding planners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We've included their contact info and website links so you can hire them if you think they would be a great fit! Happy planning, my dear. :)

Best Dallas Wedding Planner #1: Double Blessing Events

Double Blessing Events is a Christian wedding planning company in Dallas that was founded by two identical twin sisters, Chelsey and Danae. Their love for Jesus and their couples is extremely noticed and very much appreciated by their brides and grooms! Having planned weddings since 2013, these two ladies have helped plan over 100 weddings. Here's what they have to say!

What do you love most about being a Dallas wedding planner?

Oh, where do we even BEGIN?? Haha. This is our absolute DREAM job. If you had told us 5 years ago that this would be our full-time job, we would not have believed you! We both went to college for teaching (which we did for several years!), but then GOD called us out of it and into our wedding planning business. He didn't have to tell us twice, haha! We were THRILLED. We always thought it would just be a hobby and nothing else! And that we would have to keep our other jobs. He is so good!

As Dallas wedding planners, we are CRAZY about planning, and we'll jump at any opportunity to plan anything! So having the blessing and honor and privilege of planning our couple's literal best day ever? Wow. What a humbling thought! And boy, is it fun. Getting to see how HAPPY our brides and grooms are on the wedding day...seeing them enjoy EVERY moment without worrying about a thing...seeing their faces literally BEAMING at how their wedding vision came to life better than they ever imagined...yep. That's it right there for us. All the possible stress and craziness leading up to that moment is TOTALLY worth it. ❤️

How has your business impacted your faith, and how has your faith impacted your wedding planning business?

Oh wow, what a question! Well, it wouldn't even exist without the LORD. It's so amazing getting to work with couples who love Jesus, as well, and who really want to honor Him in their wedding and in their marriage. Because we strive to center everything we do around GOD. If you hire us as your wedding planner, we don't take it lightly! Throughout the planning process, we're encouraging you with Scripture, we're praying for you, and we're helping you stay focused on what REALLY matters: honoring the LORD and your future marriage! 

It is SO easy to get caught up in all the details...the flowers...the cake flavors...what the bridesmaids are going to wear...and we're here to not only help you handle those things (so that you don't have to!), but to also remind you that those are secondary. What's MOST important is being able to focus on each other, grow in your relationship, and create a strong foundation for your future marriage! Actually being able to spend quality time together and with GOD, instead of having no time for anything else besides wedding planning. Because that's not what it's about. We're here to take the burden off your shoulders, so that you can enjoy every moment and focus on this covenant that you're creating between the two of you and the LORD. ❤️

One of the reasons why we're called "Double Blessing Events" is because with us, you not only get a wedding planning company, but you also get a ministry! We not only help our couples plan their perfect dream weddings, but we help them grow spiritually, as well. We offer Christian premarital counseling with all the brides and grooms who hire us, as well as what we call "Breakthrough Sessions" or "Freedom Sessions." And these are to basically go through all the spiritual trash that you're holding onto (knowingly or unknowingly) so that you can become the husband and wife that GOD is calling you to be. He wants you to walk in COMPLETE freedom, and that's what we help our couples do. :)


What kind of couples do you love working with?

The couples that we go crazy over are couples who love Jesus with all their hearts, souls, and minds! Couples who want, above all else, to keep Christ in the center of their wedding planning and marriages! They want their wedding day to be absolutely perfect, but they have no idea where to start or how to put all the pieces together.

It is such a joy being able to come alongside those couples, take all the stress off their shoulders, and help them plan the most important day of their lives! They want so desperately to just sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment, but they're so worried about forgetting something or something going wrong. And then, we have the blessing of handling it all for them! So that they can wake up the morning of their wedding day, and all they have to do is show up and feel like a king and queen.


What wedding planning packages do you offer, and what are their prices?

We offer 3 different packages!

1. Full Wedding Planning Package: We walk through your side from start to finish through the entire planning process! As soon as we start working together, we sit down to nail your wedding vision, your priorities that are the most important to you, and your budget! From there, we take exactly what you want and help you find your venue, caterer, photographer, DJ, bartenders, etc. We create your design board with inspiration pictures, flowers, and your color palette, we make sure you stay on budget, and we help with literally everything! If it has to do with your wedding in any way, then we're here to help. :)

We don't want to plan your wedding FOR you, we want to plan your wedding WITH you. Think of it like the two of you are in the driver's seat, and we just come alongside you in the passenger seat with the GPS, guiding you on where you want to go! Because this isn't Chelsey and Danae's wedding; it's YOUR wedding. We're your cheerleaders, and you ultimately make the final decision! We're just here to guide you, give you our expertise and suggestions, and make sure you have the best day possible. :)

As the wedding day draws closer, we'll confirm all your vendors, finalize details, and make sure they have everything they need! We'll coordinate your entire rehearsal for you, and you'll get us for 10 hours on the wedding day, along with a wedding day assistant! Just so everything goes according to plan. :)

Our Full Planning Package is $6995

2. Day-of Coordination Package: This wedding planning package is best for you if you've got the planning down, you know what you want, and you just need someone to come in at the end, tie up the loose ends, and make sure your wedding day goes seamlessly! We'll have two planning meetings the month before the wedding so we can nail down your timeline and all the details, we'll reach out to all your vendors to confirm with them and give them all the details they need, we'll coordinate your rehearsal (so that all you have to do is show up!), and we'll be there to make sure everything on your wedding day goes perfectly! You will get one main coordinator, along with a wedding day assistant so that everything goes according to plan. :)

Our Day-Of Coordination Package is $1995

3. Dream Wedding Planning Membership: This is for you DIY brides out there! Our wedding planning membership is a 100% online program, so that you can plan your entire wedding in your PJs on your couch! It's basically like having us as your wedding planning coaches. :) You don't want to pay the price of a full Dallas wedding planner, or maybe you feel pretty confident about planning a wedding, but you'd love to have help from a professional! Whatever the reason is, this is perfect for you if you just need a little guidance. You've never planned a wedding before, and you just want to make sure you're on the right track and not forgetting any important detail!

You'll get access to the entire Dream Wedding Planning Membership in your online portal, and it's structured like a table of contents. Everything is in order chronologically of what you should plan when, but you can also jump around if you need to! You get all of our wedding planning resources (our timelines, spreadsheets, seating chart maker, budget calculator, questions to ask vendors, etc.), and you can join for however many months you'd like. :)

The Dream Wedding Planning Membership is $47 per month


What's been your FAVORITE wedding so far, and why?

One of my absolute FAVORITE weddings with my couple, Amber and Grant. Oh my gosh, that was the BEST wedding ever. Amber is seriously one of my best friends now. I had NO idea what GOD had in store when she hired me! Not only was their wedding a destination wedding in San Diego on the beach, but when I went to San Diego for the wedding, it seriously felt like I was going to see family. Not going for my job.

Throughout the wedding planning process, I felt like we talked more about our lives and faith and what GOD was doing than the wedding itself! Haha! And man, did we plan a BREATH-TAKING wedding. Wow. She and Grant could not have been more happy! She spent at least 15 or 20 minutes with me at the end of her wedding night telling me how grateful she was for me, and how much GOD was using me. 😭 She keeps telling me how much of a blessing I was for her and Grant, and how much she needed me, but she doesn't realize that it was ME that needed HER. ❤️ Wow, I cannot wait to spend the rest of this earthly life, and then eternity, with this woman.

Best Dallas Wedding Planner #2: Shay K Events

Shay K Events is owned by the lovely Shay Katebe! Her specialty is in cultural weddings, and she loves planning outside the box with her brides and grooms! Here's what she has to say:

What do you love most about being a wedding planner?

I love getting to serve my clients. That's the biggest thing. I have such a passion for people and getting to see them live their best lives. If I can be a positive part of any part of their life journey, that is a win for me. My favorite part of what I do is getting to see the joy on my client's faces when they see their vision come to life. It is so rewarding.

How has your business impacted your faith, and how has your faith impacted your wedding planning business?

Oh my goodness! Where do I begin? Those two questions are almost one in the same for me. My whole business journey has been a faith walk or "step of faith." There have been so many times I have considered quitting what I do, but every time I've thought about it, God has sent a client my way that reminds me why I do what I do.

Even though it is a career, this really is my ministry. God gave me the gifts I have to be able to do what I do. To neglect using them would be a disservice to the kingdom and how God would like me to impact it through my business. My faith has grown so much through my entrepreneurship journey. God has been so faithful through every step.


What kind of couples do you love working with?

I love working with clients that are dreamers, but allow room for reality. Those are my people. Haha! I understand them because I'm also a dreamer. Apart from that, I enjoy working with multicultural couples. It's always cool to get to incorporate different aspects of their cultures to create a wedding that reflects them well.


What packages do you offer, and what are their prices?

We have a Destination Wedding Planning Package which starts at $6,000. Full Planning Package which starts at $4,500. Wedding Management Package (Month of) which starts at $1,500. Apart from those three packages we have a Planning Consultant option which allows DIY bride's to get a professional's help without having to hire a wedding planner. $100/hr or $225 for three 1-hr sessions. We also have a photo booth. Clients are able to get 10-15% off the photo booth when they book one of our packages.


What's been your FAVORITE wedding so far, and why?

I don't know if I have a favorite, but the most memorable one was a multicultural wedding. The bride was Mexican-Guatemalan and the groom was American. It was by far the most stressful wedding I have ever planned, but it was also the most rewarding. I planned the wedding in two months. It was about 120 guests.

The thing that made that wedding most memorable was  the spiritual aspects that were part of the ceremony, some of the different cultural things we infused into the wedding, and and the vendors we got to work with. Everyone was in such a good mood. All the vendors were dancing where they were working. It was such a wholesome wedding. Everyone from the guests to the couple, and the vendors alike, had a great time. When you have a solid team of vendors and a planner that is good at their job, it helps everyone not to be stressed. The bride and groom were so grateful and said the wedding was even better than they imagined it would be.
