This is a bright, beautiful ballroom wedding just the way we like it! Classic in all the right ways with a hint of modern glam and a whole lot of romance. Creative Consultants covered this historic, Austin hotel in color and transformed it into one of the loveliest, most luxurious celebrations we’ve seen ’round here! This is just a snippet of all the gorgeous goodies in the full gallery so make sure you head that way to see it all!

It would be difficult to find someone who has more experience throwing weddings and special events in Austin than Victoria Hentrich, co-owner of the event planning business Creative Consultants with her daughter. Jennifer Hentrich has been helping clients create family parties, internatorial inaugural lunches and storybook weddings in the Capital City and around the world for 30 years.

There are a small handful of fundraisers that can hit every high note and turn the whole evening into pure magic. This year’s Xanadu-themed Red, Hot and Soul for ZACH Theatre was that and more.

It was my first venture to this annual event, but I had heard praises of the evening for years. Bobbi Topfer and Larry Connelly were chairs this year, and you just can’t go wrong with that.

From the moment you walked into the ballroom at the Hilton Austin, you were immediately thrust into a world of disco beats, satin jumpsuits and dazzling shirts of glitter and sparkles. People took this theme seriously!

Holidays moved into conversations as Victoria Hentrich and Society Diaries Lance Avery Morgan discussed upcoming holiday soirees and Donaji Lira gave us the scoop on the Twelve Days of Driskill. The tree lighting and seasonal celebrations for the hotel kick off December 1st.

An Austin event planner extraordinaire who works her magic all over the world.
