    Museum Wedding 2024

    I booked Fervent Designs from Bridal Extravaganza January 2024. What drew me to this company was the knowledge of my venue which was the Museum of Nat...ural Science in Houston, TX. Richandra who is the owner has worked for over 15 years with the museum in multiple capacities. She knew all the rules and regulations so it made planning a breeze. We had a very non traditional wedding and Fervent Designs was able to help facilitate that. Richandra met with us very often to make sure ever detail was planned. Day of I had multiple teams members from Fervent to assist with all aspects of the wedding. Truly an unforgettable time. Thank you so much Richandra and team for planning this event.

    Wedding at the Museum

    We had an amazing experience with Rich and her entire team at Fervent Designs for our January 2023 wedding at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I... met Rich at the Houston Bridal Expo in January of 2022 and immediately knew I was in good hands. She had experience working with our unique venue and was prepared to help from our first consultation (before we even hired her)! Her meticulous attention to detail was evident in every step of the process, from invitations and vendor recommendations to multiple venue walkthroughs and personalized catering tastings, resulting in a tailor-made bespoke wedding. She came prepared to every meeting and kept us on track, ensuring every detail was considered and accounted for.
    We had a near disaster when our cake vendor canceled two weeks before the date and Rich skillfully managed to solve the crisis before I even had time to stress! She tactfully handled our large and boisterous family, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there so we could focus on the joy of our wedding day and the life we are building together. I am so grateful for her ensuring our priorities were the focus - a private first meal, lively celebration, and so many little details that made our wedding feel so unique and special!
    Rich's professionalism and problem-solving abilities ensured a seamless and memorable celebration. We will certainly be using Fervent Designs for all of our life milestone celebrations. We highly recommend!

    They have it all under control

    When it comes to wedding planners, it doesn’t get any better than Fervent Designs. Richandra "Rich" Nickerson-Ukpong and her team are the G.O.A.T.!...!!

    They planned and designed my son’s wedding (my only child), and they did a phenomenal job! Their professionalism and attentiveness to detail are top notch. We knew what to expect leading up to the wedding, because they kept us informed all along the way. On the wedding day they arrived on the scene and I instantly knew that they had everything under control. As the mother of the groom my emotions were all over the place, but they constantly checked on me to make sure that I had everything that I needed.

    They kept everything moving and on schedule. The reception was a fun (not stuffy) affair, and the Fervent Designs team became a part of the party. Ms. Rich took off her “running shoes” and put on her dress and heels, becoming one with the family and turned up was on!!

    I cannot say enough good things about this team. Weddings can be very stressful, but this group helped to make it a very “stress-free” and happy day for all. I would highly recommend them for any event that you want to go without a hitch.

    Exceptional Service!

    My husband and I had a destination wedding in Cancun, MX and it was absolutely the best day of our life. The weeks leading up to and the day of my wed...ding Rich and her team made sure my husband and I was happy and got everything I wanted out of our day. She was so organized, very tentative and made every aspect of the day a breeze. I would recommend this planner to everyone if you want someone that's on top of their game, very passionate, and knowledgeable! I can’t thank Rich enough for how special our day was! Rich was responsive through email and phone calls for my many questions, she made contact with the venue for us on multiple occasions to visit as part of the planning process and so much more!

    Micro Wedding During Pandemic

    My husband and I are from out of state, so we knew we’d be relying very heavily on our planner to identify the best venue, photographer, caterer, et...c. for the micro-wedding we were planning in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, as neither of us are very familiar with the area. In addition, we wanted the best value for our buck, as it seemed ridiculous to us to spend an excessive amount of money for an event with a guest count under 25. It was also important to have someone who would exercise the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of a Covid-19 outbreak at our event, as that was a great concern of ours as well.

    The Fervent Design team exceeded our expectations on every count, by making excellent recommendations for everything we needed, and in many cases offering their own in-house services that were even more affordable and just as nice as a third-party would have provided! Everything was socially distanced, and planned in the safest, and most thoughtful way so that guests could enjoy themselves and not have to worry about Covid. In addition, Rich and everyone we encountered through her have the kindest dispositions, and just seem to really love what they do! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was, and how impressed they were with Rich and her team. Would highly recommend her and the Fervent Designs team to any couple looking to have a beautiful, well-planned, low-stress wedding - during or post-covid.
