About The Brown Sugar Experience
The Brown Sugar Experience
I’m Nae, the heart and hands behind The Brown Sugar Experience. I plan weddings with soul, intention, and deep care, creating moments where love can breathe and be fully seen. My work is rooted in culture, connection, and crafting a day that feels like home from the first look to the final goodbye. I’m based in Austin and happily travel wherever love calls me. Weddings within sixty miles follow standard rates; outside that range, travel fees apply. Out of state weddings may require flights, but the heart I bring travels well.
The Brown Sugar Experience is Black owned, woman led, and guided by the belief that love deserves to be honored with tenderness and intention. I don’t just coordinate - I care for your story. I protect your peace. I advocate for your vision. Couples say they feel held, seen, and understood in ways that go beyond planning. Guests feel the love woven through every detail. What sets me apart is heart. Culture. Connection. And a commitment to treating your love like the legacy it is.
In three words: Efficient, Nurturing, Resourceful

Amazing experience
Hiring The Brown Sugar Experience was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were organized, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Every detail, big and small, was handled seamlessly, which allowed us to enjoy our wedding day instead of feeling stressed. I cannot recommend them enough!
Nae felt like planning with a friend who gets it!
We’re not traditional wedding folks. We wanted something chill but still meaningful. Nae helped us balance our laid-back style with intentional structure, and she made sure we were seen, heard, and celebrated every step of the way.
Brown Sugar Experience made our dreams come true!
I don’t even know where to begin. From the very first call, we felt like we were in the hands of family—not just a planner. Nae listened to every little detail, calmed our nerves, and made magic happen. Our wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it felt like us. If you want a planner who understands culture, vibes, and connection, stop scrolling. You just found her.
You HAVE to go with BSE!!
We were overwhelmed with all the planning, but Nae stepped in and gave us PEACE. She thought of things we didn’t even know we needed. She advocated for us, organized everything down to the hour, and brought so much love to the process. 3 months later and our guests still talk about how smooth and intentional everything felt. Hire her—you won’t regret it.
Elopement Celebration was AWESOME
We told her our vision—and she brought it to life better than we imagined.” We didn’t want a big traditional wedding. We just wanted a space to celebrate our elopement with the people we love, in a way that felt real and us. Nae listened—like really listened—to what mattered to us, and turned those ideas into a soulful, intentional experience. It wasn’t over-the-top or generic. It was warm, personal, and full of meaning. The vibes were just right, and every little detail had heart.
