De Evans Events

Working with De Evans Events was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning! From our initial consultation, we felt a connection with De. She immediately understood our vision for the wedding, and was incredibly supportive and engaged throughout the planning process. She also had beautiful and creative ideas that we were able to incorporate into our plans. De was available when needed, but never pushy. While she had recommendations, they were definitely only recommendations. She had vendor recommendations, but we were still free to choose who we wanted to work with. Overall, she helped us to make decisions that supported our vision for the wedding, helped us solve problems we were having with vendors or decisions, and provided great support when we just needed to vent! She was also very honest when she felt something was unnecessary or not worth our time/money. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, De helped us to stay on track. She anticipated problems we might experience, and let us know about decisions we didn't even know we had to make. On the days of the rehearsal and wedding, De and Emily were so calming and reassuring. They took care of everything and made sure the wedding ran smoothly. I truly don't know how we would have managed without them. We would highly recommend working with De and her team if you are looking for a Cincinnati wedding planner or any event coordination.

De and her team really know how to make a couple feel special and at ease. Wedding planning can be stressful but De is there every step of the way to make things easier. From the moment we booked her to our wedding day we knew without a doubt we were taken of! The special moments seem a little more special when you have someone like De behind the scenes making it happen. She loves bringing your ideas to life and has so much knowledge to make it work beyond your dreams! We’d get married again just so we could have De make it magical all over again!

Looking for a wedding planner? Look no further. Deanna Evans is THE Cincinnati Wedding Planner. From the littlest details to the largest, De has it absolutely covered. I appreciated her willingness to help me with stuffing programs and constructing my escort boxes to helping me brainstorm aesthetics and ideas for set up. There was no shortage of help from De. She reminded me time and time again that this is what she was there for and she definitely was! I could text her and she would get it handled. Needed to call my venue? De did it. Timeline didn't feel right? De fixed it. I can fully say I was 1000% present on my wedding day thanks to De and her team. I ate, I danced, I sang, I was HAPPY! I have no pictures in my phone because I was too busy really living in the moment. I was too busy being a bride! I'm so glad that I took the step of asking for help and finding Deanna. She is definitely the wedding planner to hire! Even if you think you have it all handled like I did, hire her. Save yourself immense stress and HIRE HER! She wouldn't let me speak to a vendor without her knowing and I loved that! I needed that. To be able to just breathe leading up to your wedding day is so important. HIRE DE EVANS EVENTS! Don't think twice. It's so worth it.

I was one of those lucky Spring 2020 brides. When Covid hit the fan, we went ahead and got married in April 2020 without any family and a total attendance of 8... including us. We pushed the party out to April 2021 and went about our newlywed quarantine. That was the first postponement. By December 2020, I realized I would have to postpone again. I confirmed a date for April 2022 with the venue and went through the rounds of calls, schedules, contract updates, etc. Now I'm an organized person but after postponing twice, having to switch some vendors, moving out of state, ordering a THIRD round of save the dates... let's just say I was not having fun anymore. I realized I needed to find a Cincinnati Wedding Planner to help me pull it off Luckily, The Factory Events had De Evans on their recommended vendor list. The staff raved about her and I loved her from our first conversation. She is professional, friendly, and impeccably stylish. I honestly wish I would have let her design the whole damn thing but I was 2 years deep so oh well. De scraped together my notes and documents, listened to our visions and input, made excellent suggestions when I got lost and with a little bit of magic- we finally had us a party. De dealt with coordinating vendors in the weeks leading up to the event. She kept everyone informed of the schedule and then kept everyone on it. She reorganized the ceremony at the last minute when we had VIP guests cancel (due to COVID) and managed a new layout on the day of when rain was imminent. She handled emotional family and rowdy groomsmen with poise and grace. She even peeled all the stickers off our favors because that's the level of detail she achieves. I know she did more but I didn't see because I was too busy dancing the night away while she handled business. If you are in need of a wedding planner in the Cincinnati area, I cannot recommend Deanna Evans enough. Even if you think you have it under control, hire her anyway so you can actually enjoy yourself. TLDR: Hire De. She is an angel.

Deanna was awesome. She worked with us for month of planning. We passed all of our selected vendors off to her, and she coordinated every single detail from there. The day of our wedding was seamless; all that we had to do was enjoy our big day.

If you are looking for a Cincinnati Wedding Planner then you have found the right one! De Evans is extremely detailed and will not allow corners to be cut. She is invested in ensuring your dream wedding comes to life. Our experience with De was more than we could have imagined, she did all she said she would do and more. The details were on point and she kept the venue and staff in line to ensure we did not have to worry about anything on our big day. We can’t say enough about the experience we had working with De, we will forever cherish the wedding De helped us put together.

If you want to have an event that your friends and family will remember for years to come you must book with De Evans Events. Deanna is definitely “The G.O.A.T”! (Greatest of all time). For my 50th birthday I envisioned having a 70’s party but I couldn’t see how it could be similar to a house party like my mom used to have when I was a child. To my surprise Deanna transformed a hotel party room into a 70’s HOUSE PARTY decorating sections of the room with the perfect ambiance for that 70’s feel. Imagine my surprise upon my arrival I saw the guest were all dressed in 70’s attire dancing as the DJ was playing the sound of Carl Carlton, She’s a Bad Mama Jama. I was overcome with happiness and joy to see my friends and loved ones and the sparking 70’s globe that spun around the room, which I really wanted. From the colorful living room decor, to the photo section with the high back peacock chairs and lava lamps, I appreciated every small detail. Thank you Deanna for your punctuality, professional and most importantly for making my dream party come true. It’s was a great evening! I look forward to booking with you again for my next event.

Deanna was absolutely amazing! When we started to plan our wedding in 2019 with Deanna we had no idea what lay ahead, including postponing our wedding due to COVID. If it wasn’t for Deanna I’m not sure how we would have survived wedding planning. She was there every step along the way and provided great ideas and input.  She coordinated everything with our vendors which was a huge help and created a flawless timeline which made the day run smoothly. Her and her team were amazing day of getting everything setup. It was almost overwhelming walking into the venue for the first time because everything was exactly how I imagined it. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Deanna and De Evans Events!!!

All I can say is that Deanna was amazing! She was so helpful at keeping me organized and staying on track! There are so many details to remember and Deanna helped with that every step of the way, at every check in. On the day of the wedding she did so much work and created my perfect vision and was just so helpful and amazing! She was so easy to talk ideas through with and I always knew I was in good hands! I can’t say enough about her!

So glad we decided to book with De Evans Events. After postponing, the stress of wedding planning was overwhelming but as soon as we started working with Deanna a weight was lifted. She was there for every questions or idea we had. I also don't know what we would have done the day of if we didn't have her. She set up the entire reception so we did not have to worry about a thing. De also created the timelines seamlessly and communicated that to the vendors. All of this helped us really just enjoy our day! Would highly recommend De Evans Events to any couple!

Did a great job, above and beyond what most vendors do.

Deanna was warm from the first phone discussion. She asked me what I wanted for my vow renewal, and she has delivered results. She found my wedding dress, and that was incredibly difficult. She listens as well as make recommendations. She's held our hands the entire time. I can't say enough great things about her!

We hired Deanna as our Day of Coordinator and she truly went above and beyond our expectations of what a day of planner was. She got to know my husband and I so that she could make decisions as we would on our big day. She kept us on schedule without making me feel stressed about time at all which is a big deal as I am always late to everything thing. She also did an awesome organizing our vendors. We got lots of great feedback from other vendors about how much they appreciated Deanna reaching out and making sure they had all the wedding day details together. I know my day would not have went as well as it did if it were not for Deanna. Lastly she was lots of fun to work with.

Deanna is absolutely fabulous. I trust De Evans events with any occasion. Her creativity, resourcefulness, and industry knowledge allows her to seamlessly execute any event with great skill. I would highly recommend!

Deanna was great! My husband and I had to change our wedding plans completely from international to local. We started over with 2 months until wedding day. We called Deanna and she instantly helped us get everything in order. She was great at communicating, always on time for various appointments, and worked around our work schedules. She is detail oriented and keeps everyone on schedule. We didn’t have anything to worry about on our wedding day as Deanna took care of everything. I would definitely recommend her.

Deanna was so much more than our “day of” wedding assistant. She met with both my daughter (the bride) and me several times to learn exactly what our specific needs were, then customized our perfect day. She thought of things, and I’m sure prevented glitches, without even bothering me with the details. Deanna is someone I’d love to hang out with! I highly recommend Day of Deanna!

Deanna was extremely organized and professional throughout the entire process. Both of us wanted to be involved in the planning process; Deanna was flexible and mindful in her approach. Deanna took a lot of stress off of our plate. Our day of ceremony & reception felt seamless and ran so smooth. Deanna was able to take our vision and execute it without any issue. We feel that Deanna's services far exceeded our investment.

Deanna made our wedding absolutely perfect. We didn’t have to lift a finger- as promised. Deanna took care of everything and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was able to take our vision and bring it to life even better than we could have imaged. I wouldn’t recommend planning your wedding without her!

Deanna was a great addition to our entire wedding planning process and especially helpful during the wedding weekend! Would definitely (and already have) recommend her to friends and family!

We couldn't be happier that we hired Deanna to be our day-of wedding manager!! My mom, husband, and I wanted to do a lot of the planning ourselves, but we needed someone to help put it all together. Deanna was without question the right person for the job. She went above and beyond creating many detailed timelines, contacting all our vendors, getting everyone on the same page, etc. which alleviated MUCH stress from us. She took the time to meet with us more than once, within a month or so of our wedding, as it was very important to her that she knew exactly the vision we had for our day so she could help make it happen. She is also such a friendly person and super easy to work with. I will miss meeting with her! On the actual day-of, Deanna was on top of it & did an incredible job helping to make the night run smoothly. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy the best day of our lives. We will HIGHLY recommend Deanna to anyone looking for a wedding manager.

Rob and I got married on 6/29/19. We could not have pulled it off without the help of Deanna and Estephanie! I booked Deanna for month/day of coordination. She was prompt, organized, and professional. She knew all the questions to ask and was an amazing resource for my final details meeting with my vendors! She shared my timeline with vendors, communicated with vendors of timing of arrival, and was the point person for all set up questions! I am so thankful for all of her time and hard work! It was a perfect, smooth day!!! Could NOT have done it without her!! Book her now!

Deanna was so helpful in making sure everything went off without a hitch. She worked with this type-A bride and took everything off my plate for the wedding weekend so I didn't have to worry about a thing. We really saw her shine in our final details meetings with the photographer and caterer, asking questions we wouldn't know or think to ask, during the rehearsal when she really took charge and led us through the entrance, and the day-of, when she coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure our day was perfect. We're so grateful for all that Deanna did for our special day.

Deanna was very professional and responsive to our needs and requests. She connected with us and our daughter about a month before the wedding and was on site for the entire wedding weekend. If we had an issue, we handed it off to her and she handled it perfectly!

Deanna was great we didn't know how we were going to get everything done but when I walked into the reception is was spot on. Thank You.

I truly appreciate Deanna for removing all the stress and anxiety I was experiencing while planning a surprise dinner party for my wife. Deanna was very patient, attentive and listened carefully to how I envisioned the day. Deanna made everything appear easy in the two weeks we had to plan. It was everything it imagined it would be with an additional touch of class. The venue was elegant, the food and cake was delicious. I didn’t have to do anything but show up. Deanna coordinated arrival times with the out of town guest and times with the venue of serving drinks, food and desert. Day of Deanna is on speed dial in my phone. The service provided was professional, personable and affordable. Every little detail of the event included a personal touch of elegant handmade essentials which highlighted my wife’s character making the event unforgettable. Thank you Deanna for the amazing service you provided.

Deanna is everything! We had to move our wedding up by six months, due to a military family member's deployment. We were panicking...but then we were advised by a friend to hire a wedding planner. We began our search and found a highly rated and reviewed planner named Deanna. Oh my goodness! She is so wonderful, and takes away all of your wedding stress. From day one she has a plan and broke it down into easy to follow steps. Being in a budget, we were concerned about spending too much on a planner...but she was affordable and worth it! We felt prepared and ready for our special day, and everything went according to plan. We felt like we were one the same page throughout the entire planning session. With a bridal party of sixteen people strong, we needed someone to help keep everyone in line, and she more than delivered. She was authoritative in the kindest way, and will leave you feeling positive after every meet up and phone call. For every bride looking for that perfect wedding planner, get you some Deanna in your life! Exceptional service. Deanna, we love you so much and appreciate all of your hard work. Thank you!

Deanna did an amazing job! She is a sweetheart and takes all the stress & pressure off your plate. Having a "day of" wedding coordinator was a total game changer ... it was especially helpful in the last three months leading up to the wedding when it was crunch time and there was so much work & so many details to iron out. I'd highly recommend Deanna to any of my close family or friends!

Deanna is knowledgeable, intuitive, creative, professional, fun, understanding (and more) and worth every penny of her fee!! I don't know what we would have done without her services. She is definitely a class act... top of the line. You will find none better!! Mrs. Bruce B. Thomas

We used Deanna for day of coordination. We wished we would have hired her sooner. She was very polite and helpful and made everything move smoothly.

Ok, so I've been married over two years now BUT I wanted to make sure I posted official reviews for Deanna & her team. They were AMAZING - I still remember my wedding like yesterday. I purchased the service where she took over the week before the wedding. SHE WAS GREAT!! I could not have been able to pull of my wedding without her help and expertise. If you get a chance, hire her - she is a wedding angel!

Deanna and her team were amazing. I needed someone who knew what they were doing and would help me avoid wedding day stress... Deanna did just that. Deanna and the Fresh Events team was thoughtful, creative and took care of everything. I am truly happy with all the work Deanna and Fresh Events did, they made my wedding beautiful and enjoyable. Thanks so much!! Heather
