We’re WhereAbouts Wedding Co! Let’s Put Your Wedding on the Map

I’m Samantha Been, founder of WhereAbouts Wedding Co, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Since my soft opening in November 2024, this little dream of mine has grown faster (and more beautifully) than I ever imagined. I’m so grateful and incredibly excited to share that I’ve already had the pleasure of booking 17 weddings and guided an additional 12 couples through some of the most pivotal parts of their planning journeys. From scouring the perfect venues to executing seamless wedding days. 

WhereAbouts was built for the modern couple who’s organized, thoughtful, and maybe a little Type A (no shame, I’m right there with you). You’ve got Pinterest boards, vendor spreadsheets, and color swatches galore. You don’t need someone to reinvent your wedding vision, you just need a pro in your back pocket who knows what you don’t, and who can handle the logistics without hijacking your vibe.

Whether you’re hosting a 150-guest bash or planning a soulful micro-wedding with a view, my goal is simple: take the overwhelm out of venue sourcing and wedding coordination so you can focus on what actually excites you.That includes helping you find the best place to have a wedding, identifying the vendors needed for a wedding, and locating inexpensive wedding venues in Austin, TX that actually align with your vision and budget.

My team and I have been lucky to work with some truly incredible couples — and hearing their kind words reminds us exactly why we do what we do. As one recent client shared:

“This was the wedding of our dreams! Samantha and her team at WhereAbouts Wedding Co did an amazing job for us. She covered every little detail with grace and care… I would choose WhereAbouts over and over again! A+”

Creating that kind of peace of mind (and pure magic) is what drives me every day.

I’m not here to fluff things up. I’m here to give you real answers, real clarity, and real solutions. No pressure to “follow tradition.” No overdone timelines. No extra meetings that could have been an email. Just straightforward planning support that makes your wedding feel like you.

Whether you’re searching for venues to get married that feel special (but not overwhelming), or you’re dreaming of a unique wedding reception venue that’ll impress your guests without blowing your budget, I’m here to help make those decisions easier.

If you’re a fellow planner, a vendor, or a venue manager — hello! I’m excited to meet you. Whether we’re collaborating on events or sharing referrals, my approach is grounded in professionalism, trust, and a shared goal of creating meaningful experiences for couples. Let’s make wedding planning feel fresh and streamlined again.

A Love Note to My Future Clients 💌

You don’t need permission to plan your wedding your way. If you’re looking for someone who gets that; someone who will skip the fluff and get straight to the good stuff – then I’d be honored to be that person for you.

Let’s plan something unforgettable together.

With gratitude and excitement,
Samantha Been
