We help couples like you, who need a planning confidant and truly appreciate the "tiny touches" that subtly infuse your unique story into your big day! Chances are, you’ve never planned a wedding. As the saying goes, you don’t know what you don’t know. Wedding planning involves more than just selecting a venue and hiring vendors.

We can help you develop and execute your vision. With our proprietary online planning portal, phased planning process, and impeccable attention to detail, we ensure our couples are informed and prepared during each stage of their planning journey. Based in Alpharetta, GA, we offer a variety of customizable service options tailored to meet your unique needs as a couple, from full-service wedding planning to "month-of" coordination services.

Dabney provided us with the most amazing assistance in getting ready for our wedding. She listened to all the details of the scope and the style of the wedding we had in mind, and helped us turn all of our thoughts and dreams into a perfect weekend in Cancun. Dabney assisted in every detail from the design of the invitations, to welcome bags for our guests, and we benefitted greatly from her experience when working with the photographers and onsite event coordinators. By the time the event came, it all went so smoothly because everything had been thought through. Thank you so much for all the hard work

Our destination wedding in Cancun was nothing short of magical, and it’s all thanks to Dabney! Dabney was such a joy to work with— she is organized, extremely detail oriented, communicative, and full of great ideas. She made the entire process so smooth and stress-free, ensuring every detail was ready well in advance of the big day. From the moment we first connected with Dabney, she took the time to understand our vision and was dedicated to making our day uniquely ours. She created a suite of stunning custom materials that perfectly captured the “sentimental sunset” elegance we wanted, including a personal monogram, beautifully themed invitations, custom signage, and a plethora of goodies for our welcome bags! Every piece she created felt unique, personal, and perfectly tailored to us. If you’re planning a wedding and want someone who can create truly stunning designs, Dabney is the one to call. Her work made our wedding feel cohesive, stylish, and unforgettable, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, Dabney, for everything you did to make our wedding so special. You helped us bring our dream to life, and we are forever grateful!

ng your wedding weekend vision to life. I truly appreciate your kind words about my organization and attention to detail—it means the world to me! Knowing that you felt supported throughout the planning process and that everything came together beautifully is the greatest reward. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together, dreaming up your “sentimental sunset” design vision. From determining the best layouts and table configurations to exploring different tabletop combinations, every moment was a delight for me. Creating each coordinating themed detail—invitation suites, signage, day-of supplies, and welcome gift bags—for your destination wedding weekend was a true highlight. Your wedding in Cancun was magical and memorable for everyone! Thank you for recommending me; it truly warms my heart! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

Dabney planned and coordinated my wedding and made the whole process seamless. She truly thinks of every last detail to make your day perfect. Her team is organized, efficient, and on top of their stuff! We greatly benefitted from her design expertise not only in ceremony and reception layout but also with creating signage and a beautiful invitation suite. I could not imagine going through the wedding planning process without someone and focused and organized as Dabney!

ur wedding planning journey and am thrilled that you were pleased. Knowing that you and Drew (and your mom) felt supported and that we helped bring your vision to life truly means the world to me. We hope that you feel as though we moved mountains for you (pun intended.. ha!) to create your one of a kind wedding day! Your wedding monogram, with its nod to the beautiful North Georgia mountains, is one of my all-time favorites! I also adored the personalized table names and seating chart featuring the hiking trail names that you and Drew have trekked together. Those tiny touches truly told your story and made your big day even more personal and special. Thank you for recommending us, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and adventure together! Cheers, Dabney & the team

If you are considering working with Dabney as your wedding coordinator or planner, go ahead and do yourself a favor by BOOKING HER! Truly was such an amazing experience to work with her and her team. From the first time me & my now husband met with her, we could tell how passionate she is about weddings and making sure everything is just right. Dabney makes sure every detail, whether small or large, is accounted for, leaving no stone unturned. She discusses all of the details and decisions you need to make/can make with you, so even if it is something you are not including for your wedding day or are okay with passing on, you have all the information about it and are able to make an informed decision on the matter. Over the course of our time working with her, I met with her several times and each meeting was so valuable - she would bring up very helpful information and ideas that I had never even thought of (and probably wouldn’t have thought of if it wasn’t for her). Her creativity is off the charts and it shows, as she created our bar sign, reception programs, welcome sign, vow books, and so much more! We told her we really wanted to give our wedding a personal touch, and she really helped us deliver this! She added our beloved cat onto our bar sign, helped our vision come to life with our table numbers having our baby pictures on them, just so many small details that made our wedding feel like us. And if you are someone who values organization, Dabney has you covered! Her online planning portal she uses makes everything so accessible, easy to find, and helps you stay organized and on top of everything you need to handle. Many people say that on your wedding day, there is at least one thing that will go “wrong” or not according to plan - and I can honestly say that this was not the case for my wedding! Dabney made sure everyone, whether a guest, wedding party member, family, vendor, had all the information they needed and were well taken care of and where they needed to be at all times. I felt so much more at ease on my wedding day knowing Dabney had things under control. She made many stressful situations so much easier, and I can’t thank her enough for that. So do yourself a favor, and BOOK DABNEY DESIGNS!

e wedding journey with you and Greg. Your kind words about my passion for weddings and attention to detail mean the world to me. I’m also thrilled to hear that our online planning portal was very beneficial in keeping your planning process organized and on track. Most importantly, the greatest reward for us is knowing that you felt at ease and supported on such an important day and that we helped incorporate your unique love story through the added details! I absolutely love how all those tiny touches turned out, especially how we incorporated your beloved cat, Charlie. Thank you once again for trusting us with your special day. You and Greg are such a cute couple. Your families and friends were just as lovely. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness! Cheers, Dabney

Dabney is so wonderful to work with!!!! She listened to all the details for my wedding and executed it perfectly! I am by no means a person that has an eye for design or nor can I explain it well but Dabney understood me and made it come alive! She is also there to calm your nerves about any irritants that come with wedding planning. I would recommend her to anyone! Grab her ladies!!!

Where do I even begin? Dabney is an absolute gem of a wedding coordinator! From the moment we met her, my partner and I knew we were in capable hands. Our month of wedding coordination with Dabney was nothing short of extraordinary. Dabney's attention to detail is unparalleled. She meticulously went through every aspect of our wedding plans, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. Her organizational skills are impeccable, and she managed to streamline the entire process, making what could have been a stressful time incredibly smooth and enjoyable. One of the most remarkable things about Dabney is her ability to listen. She took the time to understand our vision for our special day and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. From coordinating with vendors to handling last-minute changes with grace and professionalism, Dabney was a true lifesaver. On the day of the wedding, Dabney & her daughter were a calming presence amidst the chaos. They flawlessly executed every detail, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more. If you're searching for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, look no further than Dabney. She is a true professional with a passion for her craft, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by our side. Thank you, Dabney, for making our wedding day truly magical!

Dabney and her team are flawless. She went above and beyond at every single turn to make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. Her attention to detail was outstanding, bringing to life so many aspects of our personalities and giving our wedding character. I am pretty meticulous myself, but Dabney blew my mind with her creativity and thoroughness. Creating a custom monogram, guest welcome bags, napkins, newspapers, vow books, thoughtful seating chart details, and so much more doesn't even begin to encompass everything she put together. And her online planning portal made everything so easy for me to keep up with. Throughout the wedding day, there were "emergencies" happening that I never had a clue about, and as a bride, having peace of mind on your wedding day is so important. Dabney handled it all and made sure that my day was as easy as possible. She and Hayden calmed my nerves any time I got overwhelmed and kept everything running as scheduled. I would recommend Dabney's Designs to anyone planning a wedding or celebration. I am so excited to review that I couldn't even wait for all of the photos to come in from the day so I'm including a few, but I'm sure more will be on her business Instagram when they arrive!!! @dabneys_designs

Dabney is an awesome event planner! I gave her my theme (Sneaker Ball Surprise Birthday Party) and she ran with it! I was very impressed by her creativity and her keen sense of detail. Her communication during the planning phases was top-notch and she, along with her team, took the stress out of the whole process. I highly recommend her!!!

Dabney and her team made the entire wedding planning process, from consultation to execution, absolutely effortless! Her attention to detail, especially minute personalized details you would never think of, was endlessly impressive. On the day of my wedding, I didn't have to lift a finger because Dabney and her team were always five steps ahead of everything with solutions already in place for any potential issues that arose. I am forever grateful for everything they did so that I could truly, thoroughly enjoy the best day of my life!

I have been extremely impressed by Dabney's work and had the opportunity to attend a few events she created and hosted. I have also enlisted her for decorating ideas and never been disappointed. Dabney first begins with a vision of every project and gradually builds on that foundation, with every detail addressed. She is easy to work with, communicates and listens to your ideas, and offers a fresh perspective that you may not have thought of, while working within your budget. Your event will be beautiful and memorable; I would highly recommend this creative designer to plan your upcoming event!

Dabney’s Designs is the premier wedding planner of the southeast. As a bridesmaid in a recent wedding planned by Dabney, I was blown away by the attention to detail and creative vision that was so beautifully executed to make my friend’s dream wedding a reality. I tell all my newly engaged friends to hire Dabney for a wedding to wow their guests!

I had never even heard of cold sparks and now I can’t imagine a dance floor without them. But I would never have done them justice. The difference between me placing something where I think it is supposed to go, and seeing how Dabney transforms a space into something magical is the biggest difference! Other vendors were asking her for help during her last event!!!
