The Coastal Magic of Say Yes! Weddings & Events
Lights. Florals. Action.
When the curtain rises on your big day, no one delivers the drama—minus the stress—like Say Yes! Weddings & Events. With a touch of Broadway, a flourish of Southern charm, and a whole lot of Gulf Coast glam, this premier planning powerhouse turns everyday venues into center-stage showstoppers.
At the helm are Brie Lybrand Garza and Jordan Melancon—co-owners, lead planners, designers, and resident visionaries. With theater in their bones and a fierce passion for storytelling, they approach each event like a grand production, where timing, emotion, and spectacle come together in perfect harmony.
Brie and Jordan built Say Yes on the belief that no two events should ever feel the same. One celebration might lean Bridgerton elegance, the next might go full Gatsby-glam, and another might sparkle with down-home authenticity and coastal soul. Whatever the theme, their events are rooted in heart, handled with polish, and delivered with flair.
“One of my all-time favorite weddings has to be the one with a thousand guests—it was unforgettable,” Brie said. “We’ve had the honor of working with so many families in the Asian community, especially Vietnamese weddings. We really fell in love with the traditions, the culture, and the vibrant energy. It’s a different experience every time, and it’s always so beautiful.”
Because for the Say Yes team, it’s never just about planning. It’s about producing memories that feel cinematic—and making sure the couple feels like the stars of their own once-in-a-lifetime debut.
And Say Yes isn’t just a brand—it’s a full-blown ensemble performance. Behind every stunning centerpiece, every flawless transition, and every heart-stealing moment is a cast of creative pros who know how to stick the landing.
A powerhouse lineup of talent that reads like the credits of an all-star stage play:
• Ashton Lindsley – Lead Floral Designer with an eye for blooms that take your breath away.
• Leon Wallace – Executive Assistant Coordinator & Photographer, capturing the behind-the-scenes magic with style.
• Emily Davis, Payton Mattina, Amanda Ramsey, Travis Smith, Sam Dossett, James Fuqua, and Clint Bond – Planners and Coordinators who keep the chaos calm and the schedule sharp.
• Emerson Guess and Pete Stump – Coordinators and Photographers who never miss a moment—or a great angle.
• Chris “Dignity” Alley – Coordinator with presence, poise, and panache.
• Kyra Rogers – Assistant Floral Designer with flair and finesse.
• Thuy Nguyen – Translation Coordinator who ensures love speaks every language.
• Gregory Stanley and Jayson Tisdale – Coordinators and Security whose mission is simple: keep the peace and the party rolling.
“We started out as a big group of friends,” Brie explained. “When Jordan and I started the company, we knew we were going to bring everybody up with us. We’re more than friends—we’re family.”
Each member of the Say Yes team brings something extraordinary to the table—whether it’s precision, creativity, tech skills, or the uncanny ability to diffuse a flower girl meltdown with one well-timed juice box. Like any great cast, they know their cues, support their leads, and believe in the story they’re telling.
Together, this dream team stages everything from black-tie galas to barefoot beach ceremonies, with one signature throughline: it has to be unforgettable.
And even the best-laid plans can hit a few snags. Cakes get dropped. Makeup artists no-show. But this crew never misses a beat. They stick to their super objective: creating unforgettable moments—and pulling a little magic out of their sleeves when they need it most.
“You never can tell when we’ll have to play fairy godmother and bibbidi-bobbidi-boo something to make a carriage out of a pumpkin,” Garza laughed. “But we always make it happen.”
Because when the lights go up and the vows are said, Say Yes! Weddings & Events isn’t just behind the scenes. They’re center stage—not just pulling off the big moments but making them unforgettable.
Standing ovations are optional—but highly likely.
