“ I had the pleasure of working with Desiree for my August wedding, and immediately after meeting with her, she took on that "mommy role" in addition to her wedding planning duties.  During the planning phase, every call was either answered or followed by a text if not, she was always punctual for all our appointments, and always provided advice so that I wouldn't spend too much money! She also keep me on track with all the time-sensitive materials and made sure nothing fell through the cracks.  On my wedding day, she and her team took care of everything, and I literally felt like I was on David Tutera's "My fair wedding" when I walked into my reception-it was absolutely gorgeous!  Thank you again for putting up with me and my semi-breakdowns during this whole process. I won't be planning another wedding anytime soon, but for other elegant events, I'll definitely utilize her services again. ”

" Desiree and her team were absolutely amazing. My wife and I didn’t contract her services until late in the wedding planning process after ending the relationship with our previous planner. As I am sure you can imagine we were pretty apprehensive about hiring anyone else. Much to our surprise, Desiree stepped in and picked up the pieces, and helped steward us through the wedding planning process as if she was a part of the team since day one. Her organizational skills, attention to detail, and tenacious work ethic are all traits that she embodies and are what makes her a legend in the business. On top of that, she recommend “Grade A” vendors for us and we were thoroughly pleased with her services. Our wedding went on with zero problems and we highly recommend Dejanae Events for your next event. ”

" The wedding was wonderful.  Your outstanding organization and time management skills as well as your wealth of knowledge of the wedding preparation process were a huge part of its success.  Thank you for everything and especially for your top-notch execution on Staci and David’s wedding day, and the friendly and relaxed manner that you always showed.  You’re the best!”

“ THE ABSOLUTE BEST WEDDING PLANNER IN THE WORLD!!  People talk about DAVID TUTERA, but Desiree you do what he does…create those same PLATINUM WEDDING experiences…BUT, without the platinum price tag.  You are creative, resourceful, caring, and very meticulous which for me is a plus. You have so much passion for wedding planning, the Mother-of-the-Bride is pampered just from the overflow of attention you give the Brides-to-Be.  You are a CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL WEDDING PLANNER, teaches the course, is a featured speaker across the country, is in every bridal magazine, appears on the LIFETIME CHANNELS and other wedding channels is highly sought after, and has an earned reputation among clients, other vendors, and peers.  Photographers, videographers, DJs, and others recommend you to us which is how we found you and we are truly Blessed to have you during this process! ”

" Wow. Dejanae Events. By far the very BEST in wedding and event planning! I've had the opportunity to work with the DE team twice- first, for my wedding in 2013 and most recently my baby sister’s BEAUTIFUL spring wedding this past May. I consider it a pure honor and joy! When my sister announced her engagement it was a NO brainer who we'd hire as her coordinator. Owner, Desireé is the TRUTH and her support staff is just as amazing! ! My sister knew firsthand what to expect from the Dejanae Events and we were totally blown away yet again! As matron of honor, I of course wanted to alleviate as much stress from my sister as possible. Desireé did just that and way more. Her superb attention to detail, excellent communication, charisma, and kindness are unparalleled! What I appreciate most is her genuine, honest professionalism. Her love for what she does is evident in her work. Her vendor relationships are also worth noting- she works with the best! She makes each bride feel flawless and confident and eliminates any stress and anxiety. It doesn't stop there. She makes the bride and groom’s family feel at ease in what can be exhausting, stressful moments (pre-wedding planning, rehearsals, and wedding day). I am blessed to know Desireé and am proud to call her a friend. I look forward to working with her for years to come! ....I have another sister who'll be getting hitched sooner than later. It'll be an international wedding in Scotland.... and yes, we plan to have the DE Team there! Ask about Desireé, she's going places, and moving mountains- the best is yet to come! ”
