Keestone Events - Dallas, Texas

Jason & Amy Troy

Our wedding was amazing, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our stellar wedding planner, Stephanie Roper from Keestone! She’s truly so great. Couldn’t love her more.

I’m THAT bride – with 1 year to plan a wedding, I thought it would be hard, but doable to plan on my own. I hired a month of coordinator and tried planning the rest on my own. I thought the cost of a full package wedding planner would be silly when there is so much social media to hinge off.

6 months into this arduous attempt, I was burnt out. Wedding planning created more anxiety than joy, and it felt like a chore. Cue Keestone entering the planning process. With 6 months left until wedding day, I met Steph – and I could not have imagined anyone more perfect to entrust the planning reigns to.

From the moment we met, Steph showed me she doesn’t just “hear” you, she understands you. She captured our vision and brought it to life with incredible attention to detail. Her experience is remarkably helpful (and relieving!) when you have decision fatigue. She stays organized and helps guide you in options, especially when you have too many Pinterest ideas. She manipulates costs/benefits to your set budget to work wonders.

For example: a few days before our weekly meeting, I email her a photo of silver decor balls over the dance floor. At our meeting: “After discussing with the venue coordinator, we would have to rent trussing.” Immediately provides quotes for EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE LOCAL VENDOR who provides trussing. Despite doing all the hard work already, she offers tips. “That budget would be more helpful for XYZ because people spend more time XYZ; because the ceilings are too low for full effectiveness; but it’s ultimately up to you!” She doesn’t take the short cut. Ever. She provides you all the options but gives her two cents without being pushy.

On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly – despite torrential downpour rain ALL day, with 2 of 3 the events of the day involving outdoor plans. We didn’t have to worry at all – Keestone had everything under control. Every aspect was executed flawlessly, literally rain or shine – from changing floor plan, shifting of decor, to the timeline. Random other example nuggets of the fantastic Keestone team on the big day:

- Chelsea and Skylar were FANTASTIC. Spot on with everything. Had the right questions (Chelsea with “what drink do you want when you get to the venue?”) and responses (Skylar taking us up the elevator to the bridal suite after stressful photos, and just being the sweetest calm cucumber)

- Goes above and beyond for MOB- when my mom didn’t have her reception dress in hand moments before the reception, Steph was ready to send someone from her team to retrieve the dress from the tailor.

We received so many compliments from guests about how beautiful and well-coordinated everything was. Days after our wedding, I was solidified in my greatest vendor decision of choosing Keestone. Our best man was talking to my husband on speakerphone, recapping the wedding – I overheard them having a FULL 3 minute conversation on solely the topic of how great our planner was. They couldn’t get over how composed, quick, and on top of it Steph was all day (15+ hours). If even the boys notice, you can only imagine the appreciation as a bride planning for 12 months. Our only regret was not hiring Keestone sooner. They are simply the best, and 1000% worth every single freaking penny!

We just got married this month, and I can 100% say that they made the wedding planning process so much fun, and helped remove a lot of stress! We truly loved getting to work with Tzahhia & Hannah because they really took the time to get to know us, and helped bring all our dreams to fruition 🙂 Whether it was finding an officiant, to picking linens, to helping keep my dress from getting grass stains, they’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for a wedding planner they are the absolute BEST!!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Tzahhia from Keestone as our wedding planner, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, she guided us through the entire process, helping us design our dream wedding. The mood and design boards she created were incredibly organized, and her attention to detail—particularly with colors, flowers, and vendor recommendations—made everything so much easier for us. During our planning meetings, Tzahhia walked us through every step, always making sure we felt confident and informed. On the day of the wedding, her calm demeanor and professionalism shone through. I honestly felt like a guest at my own celebration! Tzahhia’s strong relationships with vendors and her excellent recommendations made a significant difference. My family was thoroughly impressed with her and the entire team that helped bring our vision to life. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is detail-oriented and truly dedicated, Tzahhia is the one to choose! Thank you so much!!!<3 - Anna and Duc

From the first phone call, my mom and I knew Keestone was going to be the best fit for what we wanted. Kelly and her team were incredible through out the process but especially during the last 4 weeks. Working with Kelly in the 6 months leading up to the wedding made it a seamless and stress free transition for me (the bride) during that last month. My parents and I didn't have to think about a single detail the day before and the day of the wedding. She also helped recommend vendors in the area based on what atmosphere we were looking for and our budget. Kelly and her team were great!

Cannot recommend Keestone Events highly enough! I am so grateful for the support, guidance, design, and behind-the-scenes work that Tzahhia, Sarah, and their team did to make our wedding the day that exceeded all of our expectations! I had so many ideas but not really an eye for design and Tzahhia and Sarah brought together my vision so beautifully! I am also very indecisive and a bit of a procrastinator and my initial lead planner, Tzahhia was so supportive in helping me talk through different ideas and concerns and gave my the time and space I needed to feel confident in all the decisions while kindly keeping me on track throughout the process. When Tzahhia went on maternity leave a few weeks before my wedding, Sarah took over seamlessly and didn’t miss one beat. This could have been a disaster or at least stressor with a less thoughtful and experienced company, but I felt like I had the best of both worlds having the opportunity to work so closely with Tzahhia and Sarah! Sarah was especially helpful as we came up to the event making sure every little thing was cared for and taking as much as she could off my plate leading up to the big day. The day itself went SO smoothly and we were able to soak up the bliss, love, and beauty of the day without any stress or last minuteness. I am so thankful we hired Keestone Events and especially thankful for Tzahhia and Sarah - they are amazing!!!

I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about Keestone Events!! From the minute we started working with Sarah, everything exceeded our expectations of what a planner should be... she was on top of literally everything and made the whole planning experience (from meeting us to pick our flatware, to hopping on endless calls with me and my mom, who lives out of state) an absolute blast and took 100% of the stress out of everything. Not to mention she had the most incredible vendor recommendations and reputation throughout the industry and everyone LOVES working with Keestone Events. Starting with a vision board of our ideas, she helped us cultivate the look and feel of our dream wedding.

Our wedding was originally scheduled for March 2020, and then two weeks out, it got moved to October. Within an afternoon of deciding to postpone, Sarah had seamlessly transferred literally everything over, and worked with all of our venders (whom she recommended, who were all FANTASTIC!) to make sure we were able to have everyone we wanted, even getting vendors to change/accommodate our new date. It was incredible! We had to postpone a second time to April, and again she replanned everything flawlessly for us. We even had the opportunity to work with another lead planner within Keestone, Stephanie, and got the DREAM TEAM with them both! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stephanie, either. She didn’t miss a beat coming into a wedding we had been planning for almost 2 years at that point and learned everything about our wedding even better than my mom nor I had. We had about a million and one details, and she nailed every single one of them, both throughout the rest of the planning process and on wedding day. Not to mention she made the day stress free, fun, and just all around perfect.

I can’t possibly say enough good things about Keestone Events and I could not imagine our wedding without this amazing and talented team – I am truly sad the planning process with these two women is over! I only wish we could do it all again!!!!

The Keestone team was absolutely incredible to work with during the planning process and on the day of our reception. Tzahhia helped us think through every detail, had invaluable advice along the way, and helped keep everything organized down to the smallest details and up to the biggest contracts. I can't imagine having planned our special day without the Keestone team!
