I'm leaving this review a few months after our wedding, and I can't remember the name of the main person who was our wedding "helper," which is unfortunate because she did a stellar job! The pre-wedding stuff was done with Christina, and like another reviewer said, she was VERY thorough and knowledgeable; she made sure nothing was missed, and she made our "would-have-been-drab" wedding a bit more elegant. She worked around our pre-wedding mishaps, and on the day of, she and our other wedding coordinator did their best to make sure things went the way we wanted them to go; they kept everything in order but made a point of giving us space. There were some things that happened around wedding time that were really disheartening and/or stressful, but LoveLee Occasions staff went out of their way to make our day feel like a special occasion and to make sure everyone had a good time. THANKYOU, Christina and co. (sorry I can't remember the other person's name!!!)!

Connor was great to work with! She was helpful, fun, and did everything we asked of her. Her different packages to choose from and add on services, such as coming to our rehearsal, made it easy to get the specific services we needed that fit within our budget. She was also great at getting our 4 year old flower girl and 5 year old ring bearer to pay attention and understand what they were to do. She made our big day so easy so that we could just enjoy it. Would definitely recommend!

I got married on a llama farm, so you could say I’m no stranger to quirky, out-of-the-box celebrations. From that unforgettable day, I realized I have a real knack for bringing dream weddings to life, no matter how unique the vision. Now, I’m here to help couples create their perfect day, whether it’s under fairy lights, in a barn, or even at a llama farm! When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to have Michaela help with some last-minute details for my sister's wedding, and she was an absolute lifesaver! Her attention to detail and ability to bring calm to the chaos were exactly what we needed. Now, seeing her officially launch her wedding planning business after planning her own wedding, I'm thrilled for future couples who get to work with her. Michaela is meticulous, dedicated, and truly has a talent for making everything run seamlessly. She’s exactly who any couple needs on their big day!

She worked well with our family members who were also involved in planning. Our rehearsal the night before the wedding itself went off without a single hitch. She truly seemed to care about us and our day. I’d recommend her a hundred times over to anyone!

Hey, I’m Nae - the woman behind The Brown Sugar Experience. I plan weddings that feel like you - not like a checklist. I bring structure, soul, and calm to the chaos so your big day stays joyful and stress-free. Whether it’s a backyard moment or a full wedding weekend, I show up with love, culture, and clarity. I’m based in Austin and travel nationwide. Just know: the starting rate is for weddings within 60 miles of Austin. If you’re outside of that, travel fees apply. Out-of-state?
