Luxurious, Messy & Totally You

Noah & Caitlin

Working with Sydney was exactly what you want from someone you’re putting so much trust into. Sharp, reliable, yet somehow comforting in how easy she makes everything look before and on the big day.

It’s spilling a little bit of Veuve while filling up your coupe.
It’s wearing a Rolex while you play pool at your fave Sixth Street dive bar. 
It’s blasting trap music on your way to a C-suite meeting. 
It’s about presence, not perfection.

What’s Messy Luxury?

The moodboard and design dossier I create will help you visualize the fabulousness. The sage advice and chill demeanor I offer will ease your nerves.

We wanted our wedding day to feel very unique and true to us. We didn't want the traditional bridal party, speeches, cake cutting. Sydney understood the vision!

When I turned 16, I threw myself a pudding party for my birthday, complete with a Slip ‘N Slide and kiddie pool filled with 50 gallons of pudding. And though my sense of style and level of decorum have certainly matured since then, I’m delighted to say that my obsession with unforgettable parties has not. Our experiences with the people we love are what matter most; I’ll be damned if they’re tainted by another stuffy party with a predictable timeline and uninspired theme. 

Your Design Extraordinaire

Absolutely. I take inclusivity very seriously, and even include a non-discrimination clause in my contract. I’ll spare you the legalese, but in general, it states that the team and I are committed to providing services in an inclusive and respectful manner. We do not tolerate discriminatory behavior from anyone—employees, vendors, clients, or their guests. Period.

Do you work with LGBTQ+ couples? What about BIPOC?

That’d be me, babe. When you hire Syd, you get Syd. Plus my team of amazing day-of assistants, because even wedding planning dynamos such as myself need to take an Alani break every once in a while. 

Who will be working on my wedding?

When I plan your wedding, I go in deep—so I can only take 10 Full-Service weddings each year. Full-Service is available for booking 18 months prior to your wedding date.   

How many weddings do you take each year? When should I book you?

Based south of Austin (New Braunfels), but always down to jet. California coast? Italy? Funky desert town with great tacos? Say less. I’ll bring the timelines and the bubbly.

Where do you work? Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes! We will do a site visit upon booking to get a feel for the venue and gather necessary requirements, event flow considerations, measurements, etc. While some venues have their quirks, many are cut and paste when it comes to understanding their flow and requirements. We’ve got you covered!

Can you plan my wedding if you haven’t yet worked at my venue?

Do you require us to purchase event insurance?

For full service planning, yes - 1000x yes! Even if you do not book with us we highly recommend it. You’re dropping a pretty penny on your day - if worse case scenario happens (you or your fiancé are sick, inclement weather, loss in the family, etc.) we’d hate to see all your spending go down the drain. Trust us, if you’re spending thousands of dollars on your wedding day it is 100% worth investing a few hundred dollars into the security of your day. 

DO YOU HAVE REFERENCES?

Sure do! If interested, just ask. Also, take a look at our reviews here.

any questions?

cheers to us

And I’m not just talking about the wedding day alone. Get ready to actually enjoy our months of wedding planning together. I’m hella experienced, completely grounded, and ready to guide you through the time of your life.

Because if there’s one thing I can sure as hell deliver on, it’s a champagne poppin’ party.

drink up
