Wendy Land
I am a native Texan who grew up in Houston and moved to Austin to finish University. I spent the next 16 years there before moving further west and falling in love with Dripping Springs.
I started Hill Country Event Staffing in 2016 to provide day of coordination, planning and staffing services for the many who come for here their special day. My love for this industry is obvious in so many ways. It is an amazing feeling to help people enjoy a special day that they have been waiting for and planning for a long time. That is the attitude I go in with for every event. I work alongside my staff at most events. I like setting a standard of how we operate, which is to work hard and have fun. Our staff are a professional team and our comradery is what I value the most.
Outside of weddings and events I can be found spending time with my family, grilling, cycling, working out, taking care of my chickens and hiking with my dog Strawberry.

Day of Coordinator & Floral
I have lived in Texas all my life, growing up in the beautiful city of San Antonio. After moving around a bit, I finally landed in Dripping Springs - a great place for my husband and I to raise my kiddo!
I love putting the little details in place, as they make your whole vision come to life. My favorite is the Day of Coordination, as this is where I get to enjoy all the hard work and dedication everyone has put into your day! I feel very honored and blessed to be a part of your special day and hope you create a lifetime of memories with family and friends. Outside Day of Coordination I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, grilling, and reading.

Day of Coordinator & Board Appétit
I moved to Texas in 2022 to be closer to family. I fell in love with the Texas Hill Country, and I'm happy to be here. I started working for Hill Country Event Staffing and joined the world of weddings and events. My love for food and its beauty inspired Board Appétit, where we create stunning grazing tables, platters, cups, and boards for any occasion. I believe food should be just as beautiful as it is delicious.
I've also branched out into event management and day-of coordinating. It is a wonderful thing to work with brides, grooms, and their families to create beautiful memories on a very special day. When not in the world of weddings, you can find me with my wonderful husband, four children, and three dogs.
