There were red flags before the wedding- Athena stood us up on venue walk thru appointment, had to contact assistant only because Athena would not respond on their communication platform for weeks, had to remind Athena to schedule meetings to go over details a week before the wedding.
During the wedding, Athena came up to bride and groom on 3 occasions to tell us issues going on. Didn’t correct the musician, who played the wrong first song. I was 20 minutes late to my ceremony because Athena left me without any means of communication in the bridal suite and told me to wait (had to send a venue staff to ask her what was the hold up). Didn’t ensure the photographer pulled us for golden hour photos. She left early saying “I’m not getting paid to clean” to another vendor and left her assistant who didn’t ensure all vendors finished before the venue closed, which cost us our security deposit. Her contract ensures the bride and groom will not lose deposit for this specific situation (vendors leaving on time). She lost rental items from another vendor, which almost cost me that deposit as well but during our honeymoon was able to locate the items and mail them to the vendor. She refused to reimburse the security deposit from having vendors leave late from the venue and alleged she left early because she had allergies. Then had her husband email me that if I tried to request my security deposit he would go after vendors they felt were at fault for not leaving on time. All my vendors worked incredibly hard, I wouldn’t want them to lose income knowing they did their best.
I post my review because I would hate for another bride to have this experience. You hire a coordinator to avoid all this stress on an important and expensive day. This coordinator truly disappointed us. Coalesce Creations is not worth the cost and added stress.

I can't say enough good things about Athena and her team! I'm a wedding photographer and it is always a joy to work with planners. Jennifer (our mutual bride) had told me so many good things about Athena. One big one is that she goes out of her way for her brides to do what she needs to do to make their day amazing. As a wedding planner you have a lot on your plate: from organizing, to setting up, to clean up, and all of the things in between. As I was photographing the wedding yesterday I saw so many wonderful things that Athena did so well. As soon as I walked in she immediately greeted me with a big smile, let me know where the bride was, and told me to let her know if I had any questions. She also had the table settings ready just for us (EARLY!!!) so we could go ahead and get those shots. The way she interacted with our couple, their families, and the other vendors was top notch. If something came up unexpectedly she just went with it, fixed the problem, and moved on without even batting an eye. Athena is a wonderful planner and such a sweet lady! I highly recommend her. Her attention to detail is remarkable and her goofy personality was so fun! More...

Partnered with Athena and her team on quite a few events and I love working w/Athena. She is the epitome of professionalism, knowledgeable, savvy, God-Fearing and creative. Our joint clients have nothing but high praise regarding her.. She just doesnt take on an event and thats it...no no...she actually invest time as well into her clients and her vendors on a personal level. Love her to pieces! I pray much continued success to her in her ministry/business. More...

There are too many things that I could say about Athena but the one thing that stands out the most is her "huge heart". Athena is always willing to help another business owner in anyway that she can. She has a passion for what she does and it shows. I feel so fortunate to call Athena DeVonne "friend" More...

Athena is literally an angel on Earth. Her spirit and ability to create beauty for others is truly a ministry. I cannot thank her and the lovely women of Coalesce Creations Weddings & Events enough! She designed/organized everything for us after only meeting 2 times due to us being out of state. At our first meeting we knew she could get us to "I Do". It was difficult to trust someone with our special day with us not living in the same city as our wedding location, but I will say we were in very blessed and capable hands. God bless your business and your families! More...

Athena went out of her way to make sure that our 35th wedding anniversary and vow renewal was a memorable and enjoyable occasion for us, as well as for our guests. She coordinated the food service providers, the professional photographer, the DJ, the make-up artist and hairstylist for my wife, the officiant, the invitations, managed the guest list, and scheduled the venue and its decor, all in a very professional, extremely courteous and responsive manner. I wholeheartedly recommend Athena's professional event planning service to anyone who is planning any type of event or occasion. She not only does an excellent job organizing the event to your expressed standard, but she also performs her job in such a manner that it leaves your guests (close family, friends and loved ones) feeling good that they attended.

Athena with Coalesce Creations is one of the leading planners / designers in the Dallas - Fort Worth wedding space. She pushes herself to be on the forefront of creativity, integrating unique materials and concepts into her work. She is very embedded in the community of event professionals, always the first to jump in to lend assistance where needed. She is building quite the portfolio of styling work and is a leader in paper floral designs. I have worked with Coalesce Creations on multiple occasions on weddings, private events and photo shoots and have experienced first hand what a true pro Athena is. If you are looking for an organized, creative and fun professional to handle your wedding day logistics and design, Coalesce Creations should be at the top of your list. More...
