Wedding planning in Tx? Full Service Houston Wedding Planner and Coordinator for Select Local Weddings & Destination Celebrations
Houston wedding planner Precious has been planning local and destination weddings for nearly two decades. At Precious Nuptials and Destinations, we proudly call Houston home. With nearly two decades of experience in full-service wedding and travel planning, where every detail is handled, our primary focus is helping couples create unforgettable destination weddings across Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. That said, we’ve also had the pleasure of planning select weddings here in Houston for couples looking for a high-touch experience close to home.
Whether you’re a bride or groom envisioning a stylish Houston celebration for your special day or ready to plan a once-in-a-lifetime experience abroad, our approach is rooted in personalization, ease, and intentionality.
Our Houston Wedding Planning Roots and Planning Background
Houston is where our journey began, which quickly spilled into the greater Houston and Galveston market. We’ve designed and coordinated weddings at some of the city’s most beloved venues, ranging from historic gems to upscale venues and private estates. Our local wedding portfolio includes:
- Custom garden wedding experience in River Oaks
- Historical landmark weddings in Galveston
- Classic weddings in The Heights and Galleria-area venues
While our services have expanded globally, as a wedding planner in Houston, we occasionally take on local weddings when the fit is right, typically for couples seeking a planning partner who understands Houston’s event landscape and delivers concierge-level service.
Clients who book our Houston services often value intentional design, seamless guest flow, and clear communication. These hallmarks of our destination work translate beautifully to local events.
Local vs Destination Planning—What’s the Difference in the Wedding Planning Process?
| Feature | Local Houston Wedding | Destination Wedding |
|---|---|---|
| Venue Access | Typically requires separate venue + vendors | Often all-in-one (resort or package) |
| Guest Count | Often higher, local guests attend easily | Smaller, more intimate groups travel |
| Logistics | Vendor management + setup locally | Travel coordination + international logistics |
| Experience | Single-day event | Multi-day celebration (welcome, wedding, send-off) |
While both types of weddings can be beautiful, destination weddings simplify logistics in many ways, especially when you work with someone who handles both the planning and travel.
Who We Work With (Couples in Houston + Beyond)
We work with busy professionals, often based in Houston, Dallas, Austin, or other metro areas, who care deeply about the guest experience and value working with an expert who can streamline the process.
Whether you’re based locally or abroad, our planning process is designed to work virtually from start to finish. We bring clarity, organization, and strategy to every wedding we plan—whether it’s in your backyard or across the ocean.
We’ve worked with:
- Local Houston couples seeking turnkey support
- International couples flying in to get married in Houston
- U.S.-based couples looking to host their wedding in other parts of the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond
Why Destination Weddings Are a Smart Choice for a Stress-Free Wedding
Many of our couples come to us after exploring traditional local wedding options, only to realize they want something more meaningful, relaxed, and immersive. That’s where destination weddings shine.
A destination wedding is more than a location change. It’s a built-in experience that allows you to:
- Celebrate with the people who matter most
- Combine your wedding and honeymoon
- Create a multi-day event that guests remember for years
- Avoid the stress and scale of large local weddings
From all-inclusive resort weddings in Riviera Maya to luxurious buyouts in Italy, we manage every detail, including travel, guest communication, RSVPs, and event design.
If you’re currently searching for a “wedding planner in Houston” but feel drawn to celebrating elsewhere, you’re not alone. We help couples make that transition confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions from Houston Area Couples
Q: Do you plan weddings in Houston?
Yes. While our specialty is international destination weddings, we occasionally plan select weddings in Houston for couples who are a strong fit for our high-touch approach.
Q: Where are most of your weddings planned?
Most of our weddings take place internationally, with the top destination being Mexico.
Q: Can we still work together if we’re planning a wedding outside Houston?
Absolutely. We’ve worked with couples from different points in the United States (New Jersey, Los Angeles, Colorado, Florida) and even internationally. Our process is designed to work virtually and efficiently, no matter your location.
Q: What makes your destination wedding planning different?
We handle both the wedding planning and guest travel coordination. That means fewer vendors for you to keep track of and a smoother experience from the moment your guests receive their first invite to the final airport sendoff.
Q: Do you charge travel fees for Houston weddings?
No travel fees are charged within central Houston. For weddings outside the greater Houston area, travel fees apply based on location. When we handle both planning and travel, our travel fees are discounted.
Q: Can you help with rehearsal dinners and post-wedding events?
Yes. Whether in Houston or abroad, we can assist with rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and farewell brunches as part of your planning package.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
While we’ve planned large destination weddings with 6 months’ notice, most couples begin planning their destination weddings 12–15 months ahead of their desired wedding date.
Q: Can we switch from a Houston wedding to a destination wedding mid-planning?
Yes, we’ve helped couples make that transition seamlessly. We’ll reevaluate your goals and make new recommendations that align with your vision.
