Another Rave Review

I just love working with Moms to help plan their daughter's perfect wedding & Konyi was no exception. She was so excited about Lindsay's wedding & her joy was contagious! Here is a little excerpt from their thank you notes (wedding 9.3.11)...

Lindsay (Bride)---
Just wanted to thank you again for all of your awesome work this weekend. You have no idea how great it was to watch my mom relax and enjoy herself last night. I never expected to see her bustin' a move on the dance floor and she wouldn't have without the help of you and your crew! Our entire wedding weekend was perfect and we couldn't have imagined anything better. You did a wonderful job pleasing so many people and Darren & I are so grateful.

Konyi (Mother of the Bride)---
Just wanted to thank you again for everything you did during the coordination of the wedding.......wow, what would we have done without you? It was so awesome for Les & I to feel we could just sit back and enjoy the evening and our guests, because you were handling it all. You did an awesome job, and we really appreciate all of your time & effort!

Vendor Spotlight {Byrne-Reed House}

I recently had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the Byrne-Reed House in heart of downtown. This stunning 100 year old restored mansion is Austin's newest event facility & is available for weddings, showers, parties, & meetings. Built in 1907 at the corner of 15th & Rio Grande the house is an Austin gem & has been fully restored to it's original glory. In the 1970s it was wrapped in a stucco facade which completely entombment the original house (see pictures below) making it impossible to know that just under the surface was a gorgeous mansion which was hidden for almost 40 years! The Humanities Texas foundation carefully & lovingly restored every detail of this priceless Austin landmark. Many of the features such as the flooring & windows are original to the house being perfectly preserved under the 70's stucco facade. When you see the before & after photos it's truly amazing, the Byrne-Reed House is like a beautiful butterfly that has been released from it's cocoon. Stepping into this mansion is like stepping back in time, it's absolutely stunning & one of a kind.

Contact us today to find out more information about hosting your next event at the Byrne-Reed House.
