The 16 Best Wedding Planners in Dallas (2026)

By Emmy Byers, Founder and Event Managing Director, Poppy Planning

Eight of the 16 Dallas wedding planning studios on this list print a starting price on their own website, and three publish a promise about how fast they will reply. That is what you learn reading 16 planner sites back to back, which is how this list was built on 8 October 2026. The score table shows what each studio puts in writing before you make a call.

One thing to say plainly first. Poppy Planning publishes this list and scores itself by the same seven criteria as everyone else. Every point comes from a planner’s own website on the day it was read, and no studio paid to be listed. Where Poppy falls short, its entry says so.

Key Takeaways

This list scores 16 Dallas wedding planning studios on seven things each one publishes about itself, 11 points in all.

• Two studios score nine of 11, and the tiebreak on team disclosure separates them: one names all seven of its people with roles, the other names one.
• Eight of the 16 studios print a starting price on their own site. The other eight quote after a call.
• Seven studios name an out-of-state venue or city somewhere in their portfolio. The other nine claim destination work in a sentence.
• Three studios publish a reply-time promise, all within 24 hours, among them Keestone Events and Julian Leaver Events.

How We Evaluated These Planners

A planner’s own website is the only source for a point here, read on 8 October 2026. Seven criteria and 11 points, all weighted equally, and you can re-check any cell with a browser.

Packages earn two points for tiers with inclusions listed and one for tiers named only. Team earns two for named people with roles and one for a founder alone. Prices earn two for starting figures on two or more wedding tiers and one for a single figure. A reply-time promise earns one, as does a second office or a second Texas market. Destination earns two for named out-of-state places in the portfolio and one for the word alone. Named work beyond weddings earns one.

When scores tie, team disclosure decides, then published prices, then the alphabet.

16 Dallas Wedding Planners Ranked by Published Score

1. Poppy Planning

Poppy Planning loses both of its missing points on one line: there isn’t a price anywhere on poppyplanning.com. The weddings page spells out three packages with inclusions. On the about page, all seven people appear with their roles. The contact page promises a reply within 24 hours, and the offices are in Dallas and Austin.

The portfolio names the Silverado Estate in Napa, The Dewberry in Charleston and The Old Polo Estate.

Score: 9 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants a named team of seven, a fast reply, and a planner with Austin and out-of-state experience.

2. Sweet Pea Events

Sweet Pea Events prints the clearest numbers on this list. $20,000 buys full-service planning and design for a wedding up to $150,000, according to the site. Partial planning starts at $6,000 with three in-person meetings. Meaghan is the only planner named, and the about page lists offices in Dallas and Seattle.

The destination gallery names Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, the Broad Street Ballroom in New York and Villa Turquesa in Cabo. The Be Sage Conference at the Fairmont Mayakoba is its one named event outside a wedding.

Score: 9 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants the fee in writing before the first call and a planner who has run weekends far from Dallas.

3. Stardust Celebrations

Stardust Celebrations sells its planning in carats, and each carat has its own page with inclusions and a fee. Prices start at $6,000 for the 2 Carat partial package, $12,000 for the 3 Carat full-planning package and $14,000 for the 4 Carat weekend package.

Marsha, Peyton and Devan appear on the team page with titles, and all three are certified through the American Association of Certified Wedding Planners. Every portfolio venue is in Dallas or Fort Worth, and the AACWP Luncheon at Virgin Hotels Dallas is its named non-wedding event.

Score: 8 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants a certified team and a priced package for the whole wedding weekend.

4. Keestone Events

Keestone Events names four wedding tiers on one page, from full service down to month-of coordination starting at $5,000. The inclusions are one shared list for all four, which is why packages score one. Social events are priced separately from $4,500.

The about page names five planners with roles, three of them lead event planners, and the inquiry page promises a reply within 24 hours. Lake Como, Bali and Cabo are named destinations, and a corporate awards ceremony in Denver is named work.

Score: 8 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants a named lead planner, a fast reply and a studio that runs corporate work from the same office.

5. Julian Leaver Events

Julian Leaver Events offers one thing, full-service planning and design, so packages and prices both score zero. The portfolio does the talking: The St. Regis New York, The Ritz Paris, Villa Cimbrone in Ravello and an anniversary party in Capri.

The team page names six people with roles, including Solenne Vervisch as the Paris-based lead for European work. The homepage pairs Dallas with Paris as its bases, and the contact page promises a reply within 24 hours.

Score: 7 of 11.

Best for: a couple whose wedding is a multi-country production and who doesn’t need a package menu to start.

6. A Toast Events

A Toast Events names its packages after champagne and prices every one. Coordination starts at $850 for the Bottle of La Marca, and full planning, the Bottle of Dom, starts at $5,275, each tier listing what’s inside down to the hours of coverage.

Mary is the owner and head planner, and her co-founder Angela stepped back in 2023, so one planner is named. Destination planning starts at $4,000 plus travel with no place named.

Score: 6 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants a priced coordination package with the inclusions already spelled out.

7. A Stylish Soiree

A Stylish Soiree pairs planning with its own floral studio and names Kerrie as owner and designer, Samantha as lead wedding planner and Shannon and Taylor as planners. The top tier is itemized, while the simplified tier promises extras without listing them.

No price appears on the site, no reply-time promise and no second office. The gallery shows Hotel Crescent Court, The Adolphus and a destination wedding in Key West.

Score: 5 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants a named team of four and florals designed in-house.

8. Refined Events

Refined Events lays out two collections with the staffing written in. Wedding Management, the final six-week tier, brings a lead planner and two assistants, and Full Planning and Design brings a lead planner and three assistants. Neither carries a price.

Deena Minter owns the studio, and the about page names Amy Smissen, Harmoni Pliego and Gianna Antioch with roles. Destination planning is offered without a named venue.

Score: 5 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants to know how many planners will be on site before asking the price.

9. Sarabeth and Co

Sarabeth and Co plans from Grapevine, and its weddings page describes one full-service offering with an included list rather than tiers. No price appears, and the contact page says the team will be in touch shortly.

The about page names Sarabeth Quattlebaum as owner, Rachel Burrow as partner and certified wedding planner and Nikki Valente as social planner. The homepage names Rottnest Island, Santa Fe and Big Sky among its destinations, and the corporate gallery names the T21 Dallas Conference.

Score: 5 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants a planner dedicated to weddings inside a studio that also runs galas and corporate events.

10. Todd Events

Todd Events is the production studio on this list, with no wedding tiers or price on its services page. The about page names Todd Fiscus as owner and creative director, Lauren Heiler as president and Crystal Moriarty as director of weddings and events.

The gallery names Montage Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina, a wedding weekend in Jackson Hole, the New York Public Library and the amfAR Two x Two gala. This is the studio that designs the room as much as it runs it.

Score: 5 of 11.

Best for: a couple planning a large design-heavy wedding, in Dallas or far from it, who doesn’t need a package menu.

11. Double Blessing Weddings and Events

Double Blessing Weddings and Events prices all three tiers: full planning from $10,000, partial from $6,000 and wedding coordination from $3,495. Each has its own included list with premarital counseling built in, and the studio plans for Christian couples.

Twin sisters Danae and Chelsey founded the studio in Richardson, and at least three team members work every wedding day, though none is named. The gallery venues are all in Dallas and Fort Worth.

Score: 5 of 11.

Best for: a Christian couple who wants all tiers priced, with premarital counseling included.

12. Lush and Luxury Events

Lush and Luxury Events publishes two itemized packages: day-of and month-of coordination from $1,850 and full-service planning from $4,500. The studio is also a florist, with floral add-ons from $600.

Amber Smith, owner and lead designer, is the only person named. Corporate events and galas are listed without a named one, and there is no destination claim and no second office.

Score: 5 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants planning and floral design priced together by one studio.

13. Rachel Willis Events

Rachel Willis Events publishes two prices and a per-guest figure most studios keep to themselves. Full-service planning and design begins at $13,750 and partial planning at $9,250. The services page adds that most couples spend between $850 and $2,500 a guest.

Rachel has planned in Dallas since 2016, north of 600 events by her own count, and the site names her and Salma. Worldwide reach is claimed with no out-of-state venue named. Corporate work is mentioned, but no client.

Score: 5 of 11.

Best for: a couple planning a bold, design-led wedding who wants the fee and the per-guest numbers before calling.

14. Chancey Charm Dallas

Chancey Charm Dallas is the local arm of a national firm with planners in more than a dozen cities. Its two tiers, Full Planning and Design and Month-of Coordination, are described in prose without an inclusions list, and pricing comes after a conversation.

Lisa is the named Dallas planner, and the page says she serves Austin, Dallas and Houston. Destination rides on the firm’s footprint rather than a named venue.

Score: 4 of 11.

Best for: a couple who wants a planner backed by a national firm’s tools and is happy to get the price on a call.

15. The Simply Elegant Group

The Simply Elegant Group runs a Dallas and Fort Worth office inside a brand that also lists Austin and Houston. One range, $1,600 to $9,000, covers the whole menu on its Dallas page, with no inclusions listed.

More than 20 lead planners work across the brand, the page says, and it names none of them. Destination shows up as a menu link, with no named venue.

Score: 4 of 11.

Best for: a couple on a defined budget who wants a published range and a brand with offices in three Texas cities.

16. Eventfully Designed

Eventfully Designed names a team of four with roles. Katelynn Richins is founder, Bishop Wash co-founder, Elise Werchan lead wedding planner and Kylie Schlueter associate planner. The site publishes nothing beyond those names.

The site lists full-service, partial and month-of planning without inclusions and mentions a flat-fee structure without a figure. There is no destination claim and no named work beyond weddings.

Score: 3 of 11.

Best for: a couple who’d like to meet the whole planning team before numbers come up.

How to Choose a Dallas Wedding Planner

Pick the studio whose published facts already match your wedding, then ask about the gaps before you sign.

• When a tier is only named, ask for its inclusions in writing, above all the hours of wedding-day coverage and how many assistants come with the lead.
• Ask who runs your wedding if the named planner is booked that weekend, since most studios here name one person.
• Ask whether a starting price covers one day or the whole weekend, since the published fees here run from under $1,000 to $20,000 for that reason.
• Ask for the last three weddings the studio ran outside Texas if destination matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the best luxury wedding planners in Dallas?

Read from each studio’s own site, Poppy Planning and Sweet Pea Events score nine of 11, Stardust Celebrations and Keestone Events eight and Julian Leaver Events seven. Luxury in Dallas shows up as named venues and a named team more often than a price, so weigh those two columns.

How much does a wedding planner cost in Dallas?

Published starting prices on the 16 sites read for this list run from $850 for wedding-day coordination to $20,000 for full-service planning. The Dallas wedding planner cost guide explains what sits behind those numbers.

Which Dallas event planners handle full wedding design and floral styling?

Two studios on this list run their own floral studio alongside planning: Lush and Luxury Events, which prices floral add-ons from $600, and A Stylish Soiree. Ask any other planner whether florals are designed in-house or sourced from a florist it manages.

Best event planners in Texas for a luxury destination-style wedding?

Start with the seven studios scoring two on destination, which means their portfolio names the out-of-state venue or city. Julian Leaver Events names the most, from The Ritz Paris to Villa Cimbrone in Ravello. Ask any planner who from the team travels.

Which Dallas agencies specialize in bespoke wedding aesthetics and upscale brand launch events?

Look at the other events column. A studio scoring one there names corporate or social work on its site, proof that it runs a brand event as readily as a ceremony. Todd Events names the amfAR Two x Two gala. Keestone Events names a corporate awards ceremony in Denver, and Sarabeth and Co the T21 Dallas Conference.

The right planner has published facts that already fit your wedding and answers your questions about the gaps quickly.
