  • Serves Athens, TX

I graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, and throughout college I received certifications in marketing, event management and advertising. I absolutely love my job and all the challenges that come with it, and I feel I’ve been thoroughly prepared for anything that could be thrown my way. ​ I started this company in January of 2020, when I started planning a friend's wedding and realized my passion wasn't just event planning, it was wedding planning. I took the time to train and understand different types of weddings, so that I can make sure my job is done right the first time.

Ivory & Sage Weddings, led by Maeghan Davis as our day of coordinator, was a wonderful support throughout our two-day multicultural wedding. Maeghan brought a calm, organized, and reassuring presence that made a big difference for us. She helped keep everything moving smoothly and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy each moment. We had our Catholic nuptial mass which she was able to help keep us on timeline and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Then the second day, we had our Nigerian traditional. This can be intimidating for some but she handled big personalities and a big event with such grace. Ivory & Sage was also able to provide a beautiful charcuterie and basic florals for us, it was so nice to get things with one vendor. I believe she also offers decor. We’re very thankful for her support and would happily recommend Ivory & Sage Weddings to couples looking for a thoughtful and dependable coordinator. 10/10!!!

If I could give 10 stars, I would to this venue. Michael and Pam are wonderful, kind people. I was planning my wedding from out of state and Chef Pam met with my mom and spoke to me frequently to help us with any decisions. I was able to pick out all the linens, china, food, areas, and decor with Chef Pam. She helped me find other vendors that were familiar with her setup. The venue itself was beautiful! It is sweet southern charm at its best. There is a grooms cottage, a bridal suite, and a honeymoon cottage and other cottage. Everything has so much care put into it. The day of, it rained but they already had the plan in place and let me be in the driver's seat (with invaluable input from Chef Pam). The ceremony was easily moved inside by her team and was gorgeous. Her food is EXCEPTIONAL! With Chef Pam, I did not need a full wedding coordinator - she handled so much for us.

The greatest gift we have ever received is time. I photograph as much of life as I can in order to preserve each of those moments as they once were. Time goes by so fast and sometimes we forget the small things, I started taking pictures because I want to be able to relive those wonderful moments as much as I could. I am learning new tricks of trade every day and experimenting with all the wonderful opportunities I am given. I travel all over the country to capture these cherished moments and love every second of it. Photography for me is a love and joy that if given the chance I can give those same moments back to you.

My name is Nicole Creech, and I am so happy you’re here! I love planning and decorating anything and everything. Every moment deserves a celebration, and I am here to help! One thing I love most about planning is getting into the special details that make it “you” and creating moments you’ll remember forever! I carefully curate to each individual so that everything feels intentional. My superpower is being very thoughtful in my planning and turning even the smallest detail into something meaningful.

It has been such a joy to watch Nicole transition into event planning and see her passion for this new chapter in her life truly shine. What I love most about seeing her do this is the way she treats every single detail as if it were for her own family; she isn't just planning an event, she’s curated a meaningful experience. She brings a sense of peace to what can be a whirlwind of a time, handling every logistical detail with such grace that the couple is free to just be together. Anyone would want to work with Nicole because she has that rare combination of calm, collected energy and meticulous organization. Her creativity is endless, but it’s the heart behind her work that truly stands out. She will treat every wedding as a sacred trust, ensuring that the day isn't just perfect on the outside, but filled with genuine warmth and meaning. If you want someone who is as invested in your day as you are, she is the one you want by your side.

Anna Neel Photography is a portrait photographer based in East Texas, specializing in seniors, couples, families, and weddings. I focus on creating warm, natural images and a comfortable, confident experience from start to finish. My sessions are fun, guided, and stress-free, and my goal is always for you to leave feeling confident and loving your photos.🤩🩷

From our first conversation, Anna was quick to respond to our questions and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. My husband and I aren't huge on photos, but Anna had a gift for capturing moments we didn't even know we were making. She kept everything on schedule and made the day feel effortless, which meant we could just focus on getting married. When we saw the final images, we were blown away—her work exceeded what we thought was possible. Anna made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and delivered photos we absolutely love. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

I'm Bryce LeDuc, founder of DJ BOT, based in Beaumont, TX. I started DJing in 2021, driven by a passion for music and a desire to make every event unforgettable. What began as a love for mixing beats and reading a crowd has grown into Southeast Texas's go-to DJ service for school dances, private parties, corporate gatherings, weddings, and everything in between. I believe every event deserves a soundtrack that fits like a glove. I bring professional-grade sound equipment, dynamic lighting, and a music library spanning every genre, from country to hip-hop, classic rock to today's biggest hits.

DJ Bot made planning our wedding reception a breeze from start to finish. He asked thoughtful questions about our vision and worked with us to create the perfect night. On the day of, his energy was infectious and he kept the dance floor packed from the first song to the last. It was clear he had the experience to read the room and adjust on the fly, giving us exactly what we wanted. His quick responses throughout the planning process took so much stress off our shoulders. We'd absolutely recommend DJ Bot to any couple looking for a DJ who truly cares about making their reception unforgettable.
