Dee Kay Events

ng the stress of the day as she oversaw and orchestrated all the moving pieces. Diane is THE planner to use -- you will be very happy.

ot overstate this enough: do not hesitate to book Diane. We will be singing her praises for the rest of our lives. After an unfortunate experience with a previous planner left us in the lurch with mere weeks to go before our wedding, Diane came in on her white horse and truly made everything such a breeze. Her genuine warmth, authentically generous spirit, and loving personality instantly revitalized us and not only made us comfortable with the process, but excited. Her meticulous attention to detail, follow-through, and timeliness instilled every ounce of confidence that our wedding day was going to go smoothly. Diane shows up for her clients. Full-stop. This woman makes you and your families feel prioritized and taken care of to the fullest extent. The materials she provided - often generating countless spreadsheets, charts, diagrams, as well as thoughtful words of wisdom - and the phone calls she led left no stone unturned. For someone to jump in at the last minute, she seamlessly fit right in with our families and made sure our vision was executed to perfection. Diane went above and beyond for us in every possible way and we feel so grateful that she was willing to step in and work with us. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING DIANE - WE LOVE YOU!

ppy to follow Diane’s lead from start to finish and everything in-between! The software that the DKE team uses ensures that nothing slips through the cracks and that everything is executed timely. We were extremely grateful to have been able to have open lines of communication from the very moment that we booked with DKE all the way through to our wedding. The DKE team is one of the most optimistic teams that I’ve had the pleasure of working with during an extremely stressful time! No matter the situation or how my fiancé and I were feeling, Diane and her team figured it out with pure elegance and positivity. DKE helped us hire several of our vendors, came to multiple vendor meetings, stuffed and stamped our invitations, created our Welcome and Bathroom Baskets, did our Rehearsal at our venue, and flawlessly executed our wedding day! Not one time did Diane or her team fall short. I can truly go on-and-on with everything that she and her team did to ensure that we had the most perfect, stress-free wedding we could’ve imagined! You can’t go wrong with Dee Kay Events and I feel forever grateful to the entire team for everything that they provided from the moment that we hired them through today. I hope to have another event where I can work with this perfect team again! Thank you Dee Kay Events and Team!

le details I was missing. She immediately took over as the point of contact for all our vendors, had me set up in the system she uses to organize everything, and started sending me essentially “homework” little by little so I wasn’t overwhelmed as the big day got closer. Having her guidance took me from being an overwhelmed, unorganized bride to calm and stress free. Diane is more then a day of coordinator. She is with you from start to finish, there to help talk you off ledges, provide solutions to things your worried about, will give you ideas to bring personalization to your day, and knows where to find anything you might need or want for your big day! She gave me so many fantastic ideas for our welcome bags, decor, logistics etc. Diane also put together beautiful itineraries for our bridal party and provided our vendors all with a full schedule/vision board so they knew our vibe and what we were looking for. Our bridal party kept saying how smoothly our day went, but that was all thanks for Diane for organizing it all. Diane also made me feel so special throughout this whole process. She sent multiple little goodies to my fiancé and I during the planning. Diane had become a life long friend! If your looking for someone to help make your wedding planning process virtually stress free look NO FURTHER!! DIANE IS YOUR GIRL!!

sts. The wrapped chocolate with the Made in Germany tag delighted my friends that stayed at the hotel. She was even able to arrange perfect weather 😉 Thank you!

coordinated everything between the vendors. I had no idea how much went into planning the day towards the end but I am so beyond happy we hired her because I would have been a mess! She is an amazing, down to earth person and so is the rest of her team. Our priest couldn’t attend the rehearsal so she actually ran it for us! She made little timeline cards for the bridal party so everyone knew where they had to be at what time! Highly recommend hiring a day of coordinator especially if you are taking photos at a different location. She had water, fans, and umbrellas for my husband and I to cool off between photo sets. I can’t recommend her enough!

sful by keeping me on top of my checklist and always staying one step ahead. Diane was very responsive to my never ending list of questions and concerns. She provided amazing vendor suggestions (while being very conscious of my budget) and coordinated with them to make the day run smoothly. Most importantly, she orchestrated my wedding day from start to finish perfectly with much attention to detail. I will forever be grateful for Diane and her team at Dee Kay events. Not only did I have my DREAM wedding, but I gained a friend through the process!

elped us find a fabulous last minute celebrant when we eloped, she also re-scheduled all of our vendors from the original date and coordinated the new date for our future celebration. She gave us valuable advice throughout the whole process, which we honestly would have been lost without. Diane managed to make a highly stressful experience very easy for us and we are so grateful to have had her by our side. I would definitely recommend Dee Kay Events to anyone looking for a professional, thorough and caring wedding planner.

e. She is thoughtful and personable, putting everyone at ease and thinking through every single scenario before acting. She makes valuable connections in the industry and connects clients with the best vendors for their events. She is somehow both detail-oriented and big-picture minded, creating the best of both worlds and the kindest demeanor you'll ever encounter. I cannot recommend Diane enough!

e running out of time to finish all the necessary tasks and bookings. It came to a point where we decided that a wedding coordinator needed to be called.. we called Diane and her team and it was one of the best things we could have done! In a short amount of time she took over everything for us and coordinated all of our vendors and found others that we still hadn’t booked yet.. Our entire day was planned out down to the minute with at least one planner in each location to make sure everything worked out seamlessly and we were on running on time. She even gave each vendor this schedule so EVERYONE was in the same page!! Anyone that gets married at the Venetian or any venue could definitely use a team of professionals to put all those moving parts together. I highly recommend the DeeKay Events team, whether you book them from the start or last minute in a pinch, like us. They will coordinate the most beautiful day with the best vendors for your needs and make sure everything is completely flawless on your day!!

what you want and need. From the very first call, we felt comfortable and trust came easily. She recommended vendors that would work within our budget and was never pushy about anything. Her suggestions always aligned with what we were going for, and that shows that she truly cares and wanted us to have the wedding we'd love! She was kind and understanding enough to accommodate last minute changes to some of our appointments (because we just had a newborn when we were planning our wedding!). She followed up when needed and whenever we requested, and genuinely empathized with me whenever I'd get anxious. She's a problem-solver! We never had a problem with communication as she's been exceptionally professional. On the day of our wedding, her team rocked! They did all the runs for us and assured us that everything will be fine - and surely did, more than what we even expected! Diane and her team are the hidden gems of the massive event-planning industry!

sts, to coordinating extraordinary catering and entertainment, to creating the perfect ambiance and decor was second to none. This event was critical to the brand reputation of the company and received rave reviews from important constituents. Her ability to manage multiple communications and coordinate vendors is a huge stress-reliever for anyone hoping to to deliver an exquisite event that is not to be forgotten.

wasn't for Dee Kay Events, I don't know how I would have gotten through the day! She reminded both of us of tasks that needed to be done, even down to tipping. I didn't think of so many things and Diane and her team kept us focused and on task. It was the best day! I highly recommend Dee Kay Events.

Events and appreciate the help always. If you are looking for a smart team of planners, look no further than Dee Kay Events. We look forward to working with them again in the new year.

and they really brought my vision to life. They connected me with amazing vendors and organized and executed the logistics of my wedding perfectly. My wedding was everything I dreamed because of Diane. Vinny and Kat. I’m so thankful that I got to work with them! I would again in a second.

at ease, was creative and resourceful, and went above and beyond. And, everything was executed with a smile and a hug. Highly recommended!

s a planner & wanted everything to go according to plan, I was happy to step aside on my wedding day knowing Diane & hear team would handle it from working with all the vendors, the venue as well as my bridal party in making everything run smoothly. In addition, we got to really know Diane on a personal level as she worked alongside us on wedding planning for a year leading up to our wedding date. I was really impress with how much passion & devotion she has as a planner when she went above & beyond to help my then fiance plan a surprise engagement trip! From there I knew I could count on her when I wanted to stick to a wedding budget or use a different platform to host our wedding website. There can be many ups & downs during wedding planning and Diane was amazing on working through it all from providing comfort, advice to being a sound board. If you are looking for a soulful, caring person who not only want to see your wedding day a success but genuinely cares about you and your partner by walking through all the steps and turning all the rainy days into sunshine, then I highly recommend you reach out to Diane Solaja & Dee Kay Events! With Love, ~ Jenny & Tristan

small personal weddings, mitzvahs that rival weddings, backyard parties etc. She made every step of the way dead simple and super organized. It's actually shocking how many times we encounter planners that make things a bit more difficult but Dee Kay gets it. There's an art to being organized, getting everyone on the same page, communicating with everyone efficiently and the end result proved to be amazing. The wedding was flawless, it lets all the vendors breathe and yet have structure and get the best job done. 2 thumbs up from us! (or five stars, you get the point)

eeply about their clients and will go above and beyond during all stages of the event to make sure their clients' wishes are taken care of in the best way possible. Not only that, but they are very personable and it's very easy to connect with them, which makes working with them very enjoyable, too! I highly recommend Dee Kay Events!

to do this. Never have I met someone so giddy and passionate, yet truly focused on the details and getting the job done. Plus, she is a total blast to be around! She puts you at ease the moment you meet her and is able to pinpoint your design aesthetic within your first meeting. She treats her team with respect and you can tell they love working together. She is truly a gem.

redibly kind and thoughtful, and never short on creative ideas and solutions. She not only kept us organized and on track, but she brought in multiple vendors that provided amazing services without going over budget. She was so generous throughout the year with her time and attention, and came with us to important vendor meetings and venue walkthroughs. When it came to the wedding weekend, we knew that we would be in good hands, but Diane and her team far exceeded our already high expectations. I cannot begin to list how much Diane’s team took on for us, and how grateful we were for everything they did to make our wedding a truly spectacular event. Diane helped us execute our vision perfectly, and the result was beyond what we could have hoped for. Many of our guests came to us with high compliments about the whole Dee Kay Events team, and our families were incredibly appreciative for their support throughout the weekend. Most importantly, when it came to the wedding day, we had absolutely nothing to worry about—everyone was able to fully enjoy the day and be present in the moment, knowing that every last detail would be handled seamlessly, and we felt incredibly well taken care of. Highly, highly recommended!

initely expected the best from my wedding...no pressure! I knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy my wedding day and also micro-manage every last detail on the big day, so that's where Dee Kay came in. Diane was there for me from the moment (even before) I signed the contract. We clicked immediately and her vibrant personality totally won me over. Right away I felt a huge wave of relief and knew I had made the right choice. Diane was super organized and offered so many great ideas that totally fit in with the overall vision for my wedding, basically, she 'got' me. Diane worked with my venue and vendors to create a detailed plan and timeline and I didn't have to worry about a thing. On the day of, Diane was doing a million things behind the scenes, but still was able to pop over to my parents house and hang out with me and the girls while we were getting ready - she was even spotted washing dishes! Even with the Dee Kay team taking care of everything, I still thought there might be a chance that I wouldn't be able to sit back and relax, but when it came time to walk down the aisle, I was completely in the moment and didn't think about a single thing for the rest of the night, because it was handled. Diane and her team managed everything flawlessly and I am so very grateful to them for helping to make our day so incredibly special.

eas and the directing she is on top of it all!!!. She put in a lot of work and delivered a beautiful wedding which has left an imprint in my memory. She is full of unique ideas which make her so valuable. I am highly pleased with her services. I would recommend this professional to everyone.

irthday planner, which was supposed to mirror a wedding. And, let me tell you, our guests keep telling us the party was better than any wedding they have ever been to! Diane and her team took care of every single detail with the planning. As for the design and decor, I could not believe how Diane transformed the space into a dream for my wife. I was blown away. It is one thing to hear ideas and imagine them, but another to make them a reality. Diane is seriously talented. Her happy disposition combined with unprecedented talent and strong work ethic makes her a star. Thank you for giving us a day that our family will never forget. Diane, you did good, kid. You did good.

edibly beautiful bridal shower in a room filled with fresh flower petals, to the coordination of both the bride's and groom's bridal parties on the morning of the wedding, to booking the happy couple's amazing honeymoon throughout multiple cities in Italy, complete with private visits to wineries and a genuine Italian cooking class. Everyone is still talking about the perfection of both the bridal shower and the wedding! A year after wedding, the bride had a beautiful baby girl. Dee Kay Events planned her baby shower on 4/26/14. Diane from Dee Kay events took a mediocre venue that I have been to a dozen times and transformed it into a wonderland of color, fun, and beauty. I did not even recognize the room, which was filled with flowers, balloons, draperies, and coordinating party gifts and accessories. Diane is indespensibly helpful and generous with her time and unique ideas! She is extremely professional, hard-working, but most of all creative. I highly recommend her as an event planner and wish her much success with her company.

bash. We all decided to hire Diane as our wedding/event planner. She worked beautifully with our mom on all the things my mom wanted for the party, and Diane made it all happen. My mother was blown away by the party, as were I and the rest of our family and friends. She really made that event something my mother won’t ever forget and I know I won’t soon forget either.

that without your creativeness and dedication to our event, it would have not been the same. You are our #1 events planner!!

I just needed help figuring out the where and the what. This is when Diane came to my rescue. I was familiar with DeeKay events since she did my baby shower back in Febuary 2013, and I couldn't have been more impressed with how everything came out. At the moment I said , " I need Diane for my wedding"!!!! The amazing thing about Diane is her energy and her compassion for the people she works with. Diane not only has real, raw talent for event planning but she has the patience and the heart of a saint. She gets to know her clients and uses that knowledge into creating the most beautiful and unique events for them. Diane knew I only wanted a small intimated dinner party that people could mingle, enjoy the food, and hear great music. And I what I got was so much more. From the venue, to the menu, to the band and flower arrangements, Diane fulfilled every need I wanted and more. She is a natural at what she does and most importantly at how she makes her clients feel at the end of it all. My family and friends said it was the best party they've been to in years and I couldn't have been happier.... Plus DeeKay events gained new clients that night as well. I plan on using Diane and DeeKay events for any and all upcoming parties that I have.

the best it can be. Not only is she extremely creative, but she also has such a positive energy whenever you speak with her. Diane always has words of wisdom throughout your entire planning process. She was wonderful dealing with all of my vendors on the day of my wedding. We had a massive wedding of nearly 400 guests and we were running behind right from the start due to my make up team I chose. Diane was a superstar dealing with everyone during the chaos. You won't regret working with Diane!

rganized the entire event where people united and came together in joy and fun to celebrate each other and the trip entailed. Dee Kay Events, was in charge of putting care packages together, detailed schedules of group events, lectures and games and networking entertainment events. All in all, I personally had a wonderful time and can't wait for the next event. Thank you for this opportunity. _IM

m executed everything we dreamed of seemlessly! We were blown away by the attention to detail and consistency of theme through all aspects of the party. The guests could not believe how the venue was completely transformed. Diane took all our ideas and desires with a smile and made it come true.

with other wedding planners. It was the best decision I made. She delivered everything she promised. Her organization skills and her ridiculously amazing creativity resulted in the most fabulous backyard wedding. Our event looked like it was pulled out of a magazine. Working with her was seamless and effortless. I felt like I was planning the wedding with a good friend not just a wedding planner.
