The Antidote To Wedding Expectations
Weddings are pure magic… most of the time. It’s the expectations that always make trouble. There’s what your grandma wants, what the magazines say you should want, and then what you and your partner actually want.
Enter Satin Wedding Co. — your wedding dream team whose top skills are listening, advocating for you, and playing “bad cop” when the maid of honor gets an attitude. Whether we’re planning the whole shebang or coordinating the plans you laid to perfection, we’ll show up with our big girl pants on, ready to dropkick anything that tries to get between you and your dream day. And you better believe they’re made of satin.
Our Smooth Process
1. Vibe
Once you inquire, we’ll meet for happy hour (virtual or otherwise) to get to know you, your boo, and your vision for the wedding. This meeting isn’t for selling you on our services — it’s for making sure we vibe. Assuming sparks fly, we’ll send a proposal, take that first payment, and officially welcome you to the Satin family!
2. Plan
We’ll kickoff with a one-hour details call to go over all of your plans for your big day. It’s time to spill the tea! If you’re a Cashmere couple, we’ll keep meeting every month starting one year out from your wedding. Coordination couples, we’ll meet with you three more times before the wedding.
3. Party
It’s here! It’s here! Your wedding is here, and we’ve literally never been more excited for anything in our entire lives. This is what we do, babe, so don’t worry ‘bout a thing. We’ll keep the show running smoothly and a cold drink in your hand for the entire shindig.

Is This What You’re Wondering?
-
Yes, yes, yesssssss. As a queer-owned business, we love serving our own community, which includes vetting all of the vendors we recommend to make sure they’re inclusive, too. Nobody puts our clients in a corner!
-
Your proposal will include an invoice for you to review. Half of the total is due on contract signing, and the other half is due 30 days before your wedding. All of this is done online so it’s fast and easy for you!
-
ATX has our hearts, but do we also love to travel to the ‘burbs and beyond? Hell yes! Working at any venue(s) within 50 miles of Austin city center are included in our fees. Locations outside of 50 miles will incur an additional fee per mile, roundtrip. Locations beyond a 1.5 hour drive may also require overnight accommodations for our team.
-
Sorry, dude — we ask our vendors to give us their best work, not their lowest price (though we’re always conscious of your budget). We’ve found that folks do their best work when they are treated with respect and paid fairly. In service of that same goal, you should know that we don’t accept any kickbacks or incentives from our vendors.
-
Um, yes, and here’s why: the venue’s event manager works for the venue, not for you. Their job is to prioritize and protect the venue’s property, while our job is to prioritize and protect you, your guests, and your wedding day vision. And damn, we’re good at our job.
Meet The Gang
We’re Satin Wedding Co., a small team of wedding planning badasses. Whether you entrust us with all of your plans, or have us join the team just a few weeks before the big day to make sure it goes down smooth, we’ll be your wedding hype crew the entire time. We’re known for coming up with some wild ideas, but we’d also love to hear yours. To us, there’s only one correct response to a weird wedding request: “HELL YES!”
Vibe Check
Not every couple is a Satin couple, and that’s cool! Because we don’t wanna work with every couple — just the right couples. And “right,” to us, are the busy Austin folks who are ready to turn planning into a party, bend the rules of tradition to throw the wedding/rager of their dreams, and think our dad jokes are hilarious.
