From Point A to Z, Without the Fluff in Between.
Austin Wedding Coordinator & Planner Specializing in Venue Sourcing
We get you started by helping you navigate one of the largest and most important decisions of your wedding planning journey - your venue. Then we pull it all together 90 days out with our coordination services. If you're excited about having expert advice in your back pocket from the beginning of your planning journey without the full-service price, you've arrived at the right spot. From sourcing your venue to coordinating the day, we’ll help you get from here (stressed & not having fun) to there (thriving and happily married)! We'd like to help you streamline your planning with valuable resources from the start to make everything fall in line much easier.
It’s hard to get your whereabouts with wedding planning - pun totally intended. We get that, which is why we’re all about equipping you with the tools and a la carte services to plan your own wedding in between finding your venue and 90 days out.
We help you out with the essentials like finding your dream venue, give you the tips + tricks we’ve learned from over a decade in events, and even have a la carte options available to meet you where you are in the process.
We can also meet you where you're in the planning process.

Venue Sourcing
Let's cut through the noise and find your perfect venue. Together, we'll nail down your vision and your budget. Then we'll tap into our network of 250+ Austin venues to create your personalized venue shortlist. No more endless Google searches.
Next, we’ll schedule your tours, give you the exact questions to ask, and review your venue contract to make sure your dream space offers everything you want.
Have a venue already? No problem. We’ll start with an initial coaching call, then starting 90 days out, we jump in to see where you're at with planning, address concerns, manage the walkthrough, create your timeline and gameplan, start vendor communication, and plan day-of coordination.
While other couples are stressing about timelines and hunting down late vendors, you'll be sipping champagne and soaking in every moment with your people.
We offer venue sourcing and wedding coordination for weddings in the Austin and Central Texas area. We help couples who want their wedding to be memorable for all the right reasons.
Throughout your planning journey, you’re going to make 100 decisions and the largest one (measured by $$$ and vibes) is going to be… your wedding venue. Your venue sets the tone for the type of vendors you need to book and how far your budget is going to stretch. Want to ensure there’s extra money for that fun ice cream cart, or your dream designer dress? You have to lock down your venue first.
We do the heavy lifting of venue research, pull it all together in a tidy way, and help you make the biggest decision of your wedding journey (besides who you marry, of course).
You’ve found your person! But have you found the place?
Don’t let your dream venue be the one that got away. With insider knowledge of over 250+ venues in the Austin area and Texas Hill Country, we know there's one venue that WILL check your boxes – and we'll help you find it.
Samantha and her team at WhereAbouts Wedding Co did an amazing job for us. She covered every little detail with grace and care and we couldn’t have pulled it off without her and her team. What a blessing! I would choose WhereAbouts over and over again! A+!"

"This was the wedding of our dreams!
I worked with Samantha to give her some vague ideas about my dream venue, budget, and what area of Austin was most accessible to my family in-state... We ended up moving forward with one of the venues that she suggested that was similar to the original venue I had in mind - just way more functional for our wedding size! Samantha has been a joy to work with during the wedding planning process, and I am so grateful to have been connected with her.
- Melody + Robert
"As a bride-to-be planning a wedding from out of state, my knowledge of the Austin area is dated by about 10 years.
We only had her for a short time, but she came fully prepared and ready to help make this day more easy flowing, taking many tasks off mine and my moms’ hands. She was proactive in meeting with us prior to the event to gather all the information and details she needed to help us have a successful day. She also continued to check in with us and was extremely communicative and attentive throughout our time with her! On the day of the wedding, she was well organized and was able to adapt to our needs, keeping everything flowing in the right direction. I highly recommend Samantha for your wedding day!

"Samantha was an amazing addition to my sister's wedding day. She was kind and joyful to be working with us.
From the beginning she equipped us with the tips and tricks to support us while we made 100 decisions. Then her support on the day was invaluable. She was quick to address anything that came up, calm to support, and an expert wrangler of the wedding party. If you’re looking for assistance where you need it and when you need it, Sam’s your planner.”
- Lauren + Michael
“Sam was a wealth of knowledge when it came to preparing us for wedding planning.
I interviewed 5 coordinators and most will say the same thing. However Samantha stood out. She has actual ideas to help achieve your vision and will help you stay in budget. She impressed me so I chose her and it was the best decision I made! Professional, organized and execution was all spot on. I am a Type A person and as a bride it came out more. My standards were high and Samantha not only met that but exceeded those expectations. She helped execute my DIY wedding and vision. She was my planner before the wedding and my boots on the ground during the day of the wedding. She kept us on time and relaxed. I don’t know how everything would have gotten done without her! Samantha proved to me I could trust her on my most high stress and important day and because of that I was actually able to enjoy my wedding! This not a paid review, I just want other brides who are struggling to know who they can trust and have a happy wedding like I did! Samantha is not someone to pass on!"
- Stacia + Zac
