From the moment I met Desiree, she was engaged, enthusiastic, and extremely supportive. Desiree had a clear, streamlined process that made wedding planning and the day itself a total breeze. She even helped us troubleshoot some issues we had with the tenting company in a way that Josh and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Nikki and Charlene were also so lovely on our wedding day and went above and beyond. I cannot recommend Dejanae events highly enough!
I have had the distinct pleasure of planning several events with Dejanae Events, Desireé Dent, and the DE Team. Among them were my wedding in 2013, my mom’s surprise 75th birthday, and most recently my daughter’s 1st birthday. All were executed flawlessly and with exquisite attention to detail! The DE Team members are superb problem-solvers and so very creative - an invaluable combination when trying to execute such meaningful events. Desireé is the consummate professional and I trust her and her team to deliver excellence each and every time.
Desiree is simply THE BEST period! I needed a planner to assist with a Graduation Party for my daughter, and wanted to make this party extra special. I connected with Desiree based on a referral from a planner in Washington DC, and from the first call, she and I connected. In addition to being warm and friendly, Desiree is very experienced in the business of planning. She quickly focused in on what I was trying to accomplish, because she LISTENS keenly to what you are saying, before she offers advice. She provides guidance, but never changes your vision. She always said, this is YOUR event, and we are here to create a wonderful experience for your daughter, your family, and your guest. She was always available to answer questions, communicates clear plans and status updates, and provides visuals of event ideas to ensure we are in sync. Her industry relationships are so extensive, such that she can deliver some of the best service providers: caterers, photographers, florist, entertainment, in a very short time period. I feel like we received so much more because we were a client of Desiree! On the day of the event, her team delivered like a well oiled machine. We had a short window for preparation and set-up, the team was on time, well scheduled, in sync, and Desiree was in motion the entire time, always had a big smile, but ensuring everything went according to plan. The party was AMAZING, my daughter was so happy, and our family had so much fun. Desiree is a pro planner, but through her you get so much more: planning, execution, great service, efficiency, "calming therapy" :-), and truly what feels like a friend!
Desiree and her team made the month leading up to my wedding and my actual wedding day as stress free as possible. My husband and I booked her about 2 months before our wedding for day-of coordination. More than just serving as a coordinator, Desiree becomes your go-to resource on wedding planning from the moment you book her, a trusted confidante and general organizer to tell us what we needed to get done when. My only regret for our wedding is not booking Desiree sooner! A few times when I thought Desiree really delivered: - When our videographer showed signs of cancelling, she linked us up with two great reco's on the same day. - She answered promptly my almost non stop q's in the 2 months leading up - She singlehandedly saved a wedding cake disaster. Our cake was supposed to be delivered in the morning and the bakery forgot. I (the bride) was the only one with the bakery info and she finessed it from my phone without me noticing and got our cake there. - She kept our vendors honest on pricing and kept our HUGE bridal party in line for all their duties and on schedule
Great sweet 16 event! Not sure if they were on charge of the food, but all the sets were too sweet to eat! Great atmosphere created. The birthday girl and all her guests really seemed to enjoy themselves!
