I have been to many incredible parties at the Argyle and other wonderful venues in San Antonio, but I have never been to a party like the one the Cloche team designed and produced this past Saturday night. It was a privilege to work with Cloche. I have been looking forward to giving a debutante party for my daughter for 23 years and every expectation I had was met and exceeded. It was absolutely beautiful and amazing in every respect…the attention to detail was truly fantastic.
Clif DOUGLASS, DEBUTANTE BALL CLIENT
I’m still speechless and in awe of the reception, everything was so thought out, personal, detailed and beautiful. Laura Nell and Christin have the gift of creativity, the ability to get anything done, and passion that radiates into every Cloche event. I’m so grateful that they cared so much and made me feel so special and loved. It was a dream, so magical. The Cloche team is truly the best!
CARRIE HANCOCK, CLOCHE BRIDE
Christin and Laura Nell take the time to get to know you on a personal level which shows in the events they create. I knew I could rely on them with every single detail and fully trust that they would be able to capture my vision. My wedding uniquely and perfectly represented my husband and me. They find the perfect balance between breaking the mold yet staying timeless. Even years later, there isn’t a single detail I would change, everything was absolutely perfect and truly better than I could have ever imaged!
Beth Podraza, Cloche Bride
Overall client service was first-class and Cloche exceeded our budget expectations. Communication was easy and they were both good listeners. Laura Nell and Christin each have exquisite taste and it really shines when they plan and design events. They formulated a vision that included our ideas with new ideas they suggested, but in so doing they planned the event from A to Z; there were no empty holes in their planning. They provided us with real-time accounting reports detailing every financial transaction, listing dates and descriptions of services rendered showing all balances owed. All of this information is on spreadsheets that are very easy to read and follow. Cloche's fees are transparent, very fair and their expertise brings significant value to the planning process.
Cindy and charles Huey, Fiesta Royalty Clients
Everything about my Cloche experience was effortless. Every meeting was full of laughter and excitement with an emphasis that they cared about my fiancé and me as more than just clients. I loved how they took time to hear my husband’s ideas and wanted to make the night special for him. At the beginning, my inspirations were all over the place. Cloche was able to hone them down and give me a wedding beyond my imagination. Christin and Laura Nell are both extremely kind, intelligent, capable women who execute everything to perfection, clearly cherish their clients and love what they do.
Amanda Clairmont, Cloche Bride
Cloche brought our dream to life in a way we never could’ve imagined. They worked within our budget and made every dollar count. Their team was on 100% and went above and beyond. Juggling five client families and over 800 guests was no easy task and they did it the entire time with a smile! They took care of everything. The night was a dream we will treasure forever with our daughter.
Carrie and Tom Green, Debutante Ball Clients
We relied on Cloche for everything from start to finish and they oversaw every single detail, thank goodness! They handled our budget expectations beautifully (not the easiest thing to do when dealing with five families). The overall value of Cloche’s services relative to their fees was absolutely undeniable. Without Cloche we would have ended up spending significantly more overall and would not have had the same cohesive, elegant event. The owners, Laura Nell and Christin are creative geniuses and so incredibly good at what they do, but beyond that they are truly authentic, caring women.
Betty and Daryl Lansdale, Debutante Ball Clients
Cloche is an outstanding company with a ton of talent, creativity, and love. They brought the vision I didn't even know I had to life! We relied on them for every single detail of our wedding, and they delivered the most wonderful design and planning experience. They included us in every step of the process, and really listened. Additionally, their design boards, creativity and client service were impeccable. Day and night, they were there for us, even for the smallest of questions.
Madeline Williamson, Cloche Bride
Besides their impeccable taste, Cloche’s boutique and tailored approach to event planning makes you feel like the most important client in the world. From the budget to the table linens to menu choices, Cloche led us and did so in the chicest way! I felt like I could call them at any time to address any concerns or hash out details.
Niti Volpe, Debutante Ball Client
We relied on their expertise and planning in every way. As a destination wedding we didn’t have access to the vendors that we were familiar with and Cloche found all the perfect matches for every facet! They are so gracious and talented. We were thrilled with our experience and consider these amazing women our friends.
Kristy Bridgman, Mother of the Bride
The client service experience couldn’t have been more perfect. So many mothers of the bride talk about how stressed they felt. I can honestly say, Cloche made everything so stress-free. My husband and I have often commented how much fun and relaxed we felt over the wedding weekend because of Cloche. We didn't have to worry about anything knowing that Cloche would take care of everything.
Gretchen Huddleston, Mother of the Bride
I’m an interior designer and walking into the first design meeting with a binder full of ideas did not phase them at all. They were able to organize all of my dreams and ideas into a cohesive scheme that exceeded all expectations. Christin stood by me from day one and helped me navigate emotions and logistics that come up when families are brought together while Laura Nell spearheaded a thoughtful and personalized day that encapsulated all the things I love. I am so thankful for the love, energy, and attention that they gave my family.
Laura Hoppe, cloche bride
Cloche brought our vision to life in an unbelievable way. Our client service experience was excellent and they managed our overall budget expectations efficiently and professionally. What most makes Cloche special is getting to work with Christin and Laura Nell, the founders. Hire them as soon as possible and get ready for a first-class event!
Jessica and Joe Bakke, Debutante Ball & Fiesta Royalty Clients
Our experience could not have been better. We stayed within our budget and I was completely aware of costs at all times. As it relates to overall value provided relative to fees, the benefit and experience far outweighed the final cost. International Audi Executives who had traveled to be in attendance expressed to me...this was one of the “best ever” grand opening events.
Rick Cavender, Corporate Client
They took on a complex, pro-bono project for Texas Biomed to raise money for the renovation of a classic, but tired, playhouse for children located on The Argyle front lawn. Their persistence and organization produced a perfect result. They even planned a grand opening fundraising event, that had a positive impact on the research at Texas Biomed. Their creativity, persistence and ability to bring a theme and vision to reality showed through to 500 attendees, half of which were children. Project completed, with every detail beautifully handled.
Corbett Christie, Vice President, Advancement & Public Relations, the Texas Biomedical Research Institute
Our wedding was amazing (people still tell us so, to this day). They brought my vision to life by finding new and unique vendors. They branched out from the norm to make it special to us. They think of ALL THE DETAILS. Things that I would never have thought of, made our day even more special. Cloche is hands-on, easy to communicate with, and responded immediately to any questions or concerns.
Amory Felder, Cloche Bride
The event was for a non-profit and so it was very important that we maintained a strict budget. Cloche helped us to host a BEAUTIFUL event within budget that became the “talk of the town.” They took our ideas and turned the event into something really spectacular! They also also provided strategic ideas to generate revenue at the event.
Liz Lamoureux and Linda Leavitt, 2019 Le Brunch Des Chapeaux Event Chairs
Cloche provides exceptional care throughout the planning stages, allowing each event experience to be unforgettable from start to finish. What impresses me most is how diligent they work to stay within budget requirements and yet are able to bring an innovative spirit and attention to every detail!
Liz Jackson, CEO and President, the Briscoe Western Art Museum
We knew that this would be a very emotional and hard time for our family as well as a time of celebration and joy. Cloche was sensitive to our circumstances and led us through the planning with grace, love and kindness. The wedding was effortless for our family because of Cloche.
Mary Olive Judson, Mother of the Bride
