Mari JuarezWhen my older sister was getting married, I was tasked with being the unofficial organizer, and, of course, I didn’t say no, as it’s always been a dream of mine! A month later into the task, however, I tapped out, but hear me out.
I enjoyed some tasks, like finding the right photo booth rentals, catering, and video editors, but scheduling and logistics were a nightmare! So, I asked my team to help me find OKC’s best wedding planners to ensure a smoother process.
The prestige role may have been handed to someone else, but they’re the most capable people for it—plus, I was still the maid of honour! If you’re looking to put your wedding in good hands and don’t want to worry about anything, keep on reading!
What is the average cost of wedding planners in Oklahoma City?

1. Faithful Events Company
Services: Partial planning and design, 60-day coordination, full planning and design
Location: 722 N Broadway Ave #201
Contact: [email protected]
Business hours:
- Tuesday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Friday and Saturday: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Faithful Events Company caught our attention with its strong focus on meaningful and elegant events. The team considers every detail, from decoration to vendor sourcing, to help couples focus on the significance of marriage, and not the event.
Clients we spoke with shared how easy it was to gel with their planner due to their exceptional relationship-building skills, making each wedding feel more personal.
The team is helmed by Mikaela Garrison, who found love in wedding planning after planning her own wedding. She does an excellent job of reporting regularly to couples and providing suggestions based on their preferences, budget limitations, and overall desired theme.
We also admire how she and her team are connected with numerous reputable vendors, from photographers to caterers, etc. Furthermore, they’re able to organize these vendors in a strict timeline, which is a testament to the team’s time management skills.
Although the smaller team means more personalized attention, it could also affect their availability, especially during peak wedding season.
The whole planning process was just a dream
“I could not say enough kind words about Mikaela & her team to do them justice! The whole planning process was just a dream (which I know is not always the case).
Her attention to detail is incredible, and I was just blown away when I saw everything come together on the wedding day. Mikaela always had ideas of different ways to bring my vision to life, and connected us with the most wonderful vendors.
It is so important to have a wedding planning team that is professional and gets things done, but also KIND. Mikaela leads with kindness and grace, which is not easy to do. She is the best of the best!
Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to Faithful Events Co and Mikaela Garrison! I will forever be thankful to know them.”

Best choice we could have made
“Faithful Events was the best choice we could have made for our wedding planning process. We truly had a dream team of vendors that were excited about our vision and our wedding day that we wouldn’t have found without our planner, Mikaela.
Mikaela was so well organized and made sure every detail was exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I can’t imagine having planned my wedding without her. Our wedding day was perfect— so much love to the Faithful Events Team!!”

2. Events by Suad
Services: Planning and design
Location: 6608 N Western Ave.
Contact: +1 405-410-9561
Events by Suad offers one of the most colourful portfolios out of all the planners we’ve seen in OKC. The team, helmed by Suad, strongly focuses on design, which explains why all their works look cohesive and elegant.
We also spoke to their previous clients, who shared that they were able to achieve their vision because of the team’s close collaboration. They also noted that the team genuinely seeks their clients’ input to base their designs around them.
Clients also praise for never failing to meet deadlines, even tight ones. Furthermore, they do an excellent job of communicating promptly and clearly, whether it’s regarding last-minute changes or the overall progress of the design stage.
Our only gripe is that they’re mostly focused on design planning, which could mean that clients would need to hire additional teams for logistics, vendor coordination, etc. Still, our interviewees noted that Events by Suad was their top pick because of its high-end, glamorous designs.
Extremely helpful in every way possible
“Genuinely the best event decorator. Suad helped throughout my entire engagement planning process, and she was extremely helpful in every way possible.
No matter how many times I contacted her, the number of questions I had, or any of our requests, she never made me feel unheard.
She brought my vision to life in the most beautiful way. She works with you in every way possible to guarantee your satisfaction, and she is extremely timely and great at communication. I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you, Suad, for being so amazing at what you do.”
– Dareen Alrashdan, Google Review
So easy to communicate with!
“Suad and her team were amazing to work with for our wedding at The Gaillardia Country Club. She is also so, so easy to communicate with! She not only brought our wedding vision to life, but did it even better than I could imagine.
My goal of having an elegant and timeless-looking wedding was achieved through collaborating with her and her amazing team.”

3. Blair Sims Events
Services: Full and partial-service planning
Location: 1000 W Wilshire Blvd.
Contact: +1 405-313-0511
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Blair Sims Events has been around for over a decade, and this tenure has granted her team extensive organizational and event management skills.
For starters, previous clients we spoke to shared how seamless their weddings were because of the team’s careful coordination with logistics and vendors. Furthermore, events run smoothly thanks to Blair’s attention to detail and time management.
They offer flexible planning packages as well, but clients shared that even the partial planning package feels like 24/7 guidance. It includes essential tasks such as meetings, event designs, vendors, and day-of coordination, which helped a ton.
As for the full-planning package, it’s a close collaboration from start to finish, with added services like venue selection, budget construction, etc.
We also like how the company is well-connected with reliable vendors. Our interviewees stated that they ended up with the best florists, photographers, caterers, and even venues, because Blair and her team considered their preferences and budget.
The only setback we noticed was that Blair Sims Events isn’t accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB), which some couples may look for during their research.
Best decision I made
“Blair was the best decision I made regarding my entire wedding process. Despite where or what it looked like, Blair would have gotten it done in the exact same way: polished, on time, and exactly how I envisioned.
She took all of my ideas and made them better. She is super connected and vetted in the wedding world, so I trusted her with every single little thing as I knew she had seen it, heard of it, or knew how to make it happen.
She never tried to make the day “hers”; she instead made SURE it was mine through every single detail you could imagine. I never felt as if I had to check on Blair and instead knew from the jump she was taking care of everything, being kind, and getting things done.
She put out fires I didn’t even know about, she took care of all my family, friends, and vendors, and she did it all with energy and with a smile on her face. She made the entire process so easy, and I truly cannot recommend Blair enough.
She was the perfect planner and went above and beyond for me, and I know she does the same for every single one of her couples!”
– Chandler Coale, Google Review
A great listener and a great person
“Blair is not only a true professional in the wedding industry but also at navigating the emotional and political intricacies of a wedding! Weddings are stressful, but Blair took care of everything, which allowed me to focus on myself and my overall fairytale vision.
Blair had many great recommendations about every aspect of the wedding, right down to the timeline on the day of the ceremony. She helped me stay organized and on track.
Blair has the kindest soul; she is a great listener and a great person. My whole family really enjoyed working with her, and our wedding was perfect, left in her capable hands.
Sincerely,
A very happy Bride!”

4. About Last Night
Services: Full-service, month-of coordination, wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, after-parties
Location: 7632 NW 102nd St.
Contact: +1 405-640-8382
About Last Night is one of our top picks because of its comprehensive selection of wedding planning services. For starters, their full-service package consists of essentials, like designing, vendor coordination, scheduling, and our favourite, unlimited contact.
We feel like the last one should be highlighted more because it’s extremely handy for couples to speak to their coordinators during these exciting yet stressful times. Our interviewees even mentioned that the team picks up the call even after business hours.
On top of their full-service and month-of coordination, they offer extra services, like wedding showers, after-parties, and rehearsal dinners. They can also provide and deliver customized guest baskets.
We also saw their portfolio of designed reception and ceremony venues, and we immediately noticed how polished and elegant they were.
Clients also shared how easy it was to come up with the final design, as the team made sure to stick to their vision while also recommending better changes.
The only thing we’re iffy about is that even though the company has been around for over 25 years, the amount of public feedback available online is quite limited.
My wedding was a fairytale
“About Last Night is a MUST book for any special event! The professionalism is beyond belief, and Bea & Kaelyn are so easy to work with!
They can make your dream inspiration come true. My wedding was a fairytale, and it wouldn’t have been possible without their expertise! I highly recommend this event planning company!”
– Ashton McCall, Google Review
Created a fun and entertaining event
“We had the pleasure to work with Bea & Kaelyn from About Last Night…event planning. They created a fun and entertaining event and and everyone had a blast.
If your looking for an event planner who has the experience and contact to make your event extraordinary, look no further. Your event will be a hit!”

5. Embellished Weddings
Services: Signature collection, full service, partial service
Location: 1290 W Covell Rd Suite 204
Contact: +1 405-326-3108
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM
We want to include Embellished Weddings because of their 17+ years of experience and their strong focus on weddings rather than being an all-around event planner.
We’ve also seen their previous works, and they all looked elevated. This is a testament to their design team, whom clients shared as being extremely creative while keeping their best interests in mind to turn their vision into reality.
It’s also admirable how the company offers large teams for every wedding, with each member playing a different role for a more seamless workflow. Some of the tasks they assist with include budget management, designing, and vendor curation.
Couples we spoke to also mentioned how their planners granted them peace of mind during stressful times, and even made the overall process enjoyable.
Although this doesn’t make them the best choice for partial planning, such as month-of and day-of coordination, they make sure that everything goes smoothly from start to finish.
Made the entire process feel calm, organized, and enjoyable
“I used Embellished for my wedding in July 2025, and Ryan Kinzer was our wedding planner. I truly couldn’t recommend Ryan more. She made the entire process feel calm, organized, and honestly enjoyable.
Ryan helped orchestrate the wedding of my dreams and handled everything with so much care. She is extremely organized, a great listener, and works so well with family and vendors.
She took everyone’s opinions into account, filtered them thoughtfully, and still always made sure the bride was the priority.
She went above and beyond in so many ways, including helping me organize the seating chart, set up vendor meetings, and always responding quickly to emails.
Ryan had the perfect balance of letting me be involved in the parts of planning I wanted while completely taking off my plate the things I didn’t.
We were married outside with the reception inside at The Bower in Edmond, OK, and everything ran seamlessly. I can’t imagine our day without Ryan’s guidance and support, and I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.”
– Grace Anderson, Google Review
Made sure everyone was taken care of
“Ryan Kinzer and Embellished Weddings are truly one of a kind! I’ve been meaning to share this review for a while, but it’s taken me a while to find words that do justice to how meaningful this experience was for us.
Ryan puts so much good energy, care, and deep thought into every wedding she plans. My husband and I look back at our photos and know that everything captured so beautifully was truly made possible because of her.
As someone who struggles with anxiety, I honestly could not have done this without Ryan. She helped ease my nerves every step of the way. Whenever we talk to family and friends about our big day, they always comment on how incredible a job Ryan did.
She made sure everyone was taken care of, kept everything running smoothly, and cheered us on the entire time. When I tell my kids and grandkids about my wedding day, Ryan and Embellished Weddings will always be a part of those stories and memories.
That is something incredibly special to us. We truly have nothing but amazing things to say about the entire experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
