Verve Austin
Event Planning & Design Firm
With over 30 years in various aspects of the Event and Hospitality industry, Verve Austin Events has become one of the premier luxury event companies in Texas. Hosting events anywhere from 50 – 1000+ guests. From timelines to family relationships, event planners know every detail about your wedding. However, they may not have designed the visual display.
Our services do not limit you to just planning, we are also a design firm. A planner who is also a designer will have a unique ability to fill the role of both professionals. The major benefit is you will be able to work with one professional who will truly know your likes, dislikes, and greatest wishes for your event by heart. We are pros at sourcing the best details, designing, and styling each element to perfection. These professionals are focused on your wedding day’s logistics. Your planner will orchestrate your wedding rehearsal the night before and will be on hand from the moment vendors begin setting up until the final vendor breaks down at the end of your reception on your wedding day. You have the option of working with your planner for a varied amount of time (think: entire engagement or just the month leading up to your wedding day).
