Denean's Events and Designs

Denean created a seamless and perfect wedding for our daughter and her husband. Her expertise, organization and knowledge combined with her creativity and wonderful personality are above excellent. I highly recommend Denean at Denean's Events and Design. She is the best!

Denean and her team are absolutely phenomenal. We recommend them to anyone and everyone becuase they know what they are doing, and are really good at it! They know what a wedding needs and will think of everything that you will probably overlook. Our ceremony went so smoothly, and our stress melted away due to their care and diligence. Plus, our friends and family share our feelings. We heard again and again from our friends how impressed they were, and how relieved our family members were after talking through their concerns or questions with Denean and her team. Hire them!

My words can not describe how good they was. We had a vow renewal and i hired them. She is very honest and tell you what you can get for your budget. If you have to adjust your budget, she and her team are so talented that it looks absolutely good. I added some things at the end and she and her team made it possible that i get it. If i could give them 10 stars i would. Professional, on time, friendly and they know what they are doing. They are the best!

Denean is a life saver! I tried to plan my daughter’s reception by myself in the four months she gave me. After three months, all we had was the venue and the dress. I called Denean and spoke to her the day before Thanksgiving and asked if she could plan a reception in four weeks during the Christmas holidays. Luckily for me, she accepted the challenge. Denean got right to work and started coordinating immediately. She is very responsive, answered all of my questions and gave me great advice and recommendations as I had no idea what needed to be done. Denean designed the entire event from the flowers, the centerpieces, the ballroom layout, the flow and schedule of the evening, basically everything. She got a list of my other vendors and started coordinating directly with them. She met with the hotel event coordinator and got everything I needed ordered and set up. I paid for her event day coordination services and that was one of the best decisions I made. She was there six hours before the reception setting up the room, working with the other vendors, managed the flow during the reception and helped with the cleanup. All I had to do was show up for the event. It was amazing! I was able to come, relax with my guests and enjoy the evening. Hands down I would recommend having her coordinate the day of your event. My favorite part about working with Denean was the atmosphere she created for the event. When we first talked, she asked me what I would like, and I said I want to be able to walk into the ballroom and be completely wowed with how pretty it would be. I wanted it to be classy and elegant. She blew me away. The flowers were phenomenal! I had repeated compliments at the reception and for days following about how beautiful the flowers were. The whole ballroom smelled like a garden. Her bouquet was perfect. The lighting she designed made the ballroom feel cozy. The sitting areas she set up around the dance floor were loved by my guests. I can’t say enough good things about working with Denean. I will definitely work with her again if I plan another large event. I told my husband that the best Christmas present I got this year was hiring Denean to plan the perfect reception. My daughter loved it and said it was everything she had imagined for her special day.

If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, DO IT! If you have not yet hired a coordinator, HIRE DENEAN'S PARTY BY DESIGN! I met Denean at a bridal expo and felt an instant connection. I did not feel as though she was trying to rope me in or push her services on me whatsoever. We had a conversation about the importance of a day of coordinator and the differences between hiring an outside company vs. using the coordinator provided by a venue. I was hooked and booked her and her team the following week. Leading up to the wedding we had a phone conference and she made my husband and I feel very relaxed and at ease about the our planning process. She gave us "homework" which was helpful because her questions helped to get us thinking about specifics we had not yet considered. About a month before our wedding, she sent us an extremely detailed questionnaire which helped us to plan out the tiny moments and make choices that would make our day flow more smoothly. Our in person meeting was super productive and efficient. Flash forward to our rehearsal dinner and Denean and her team (once again) knock it out of the ball park. She divided our bridal party and families into small groups and gave them the information that pertained to them, rather than speaking to the whole group the entire time. Denean and her team showed up on the wedding day and got to work. She had explained that she would not bother us unless she absolutely had to and I did not see her until late afternoon, just before the ceremony. Our entire day went off without any issues and we have Denean and her team to thank for that. Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were with how smoothly our day. Katrina was also phenomenal. She was with my father and I prior to walking down the aisle and she was so kind. She gave clear directions and had great words of encouragement the whole time. Throughout the entire process Denean was punctual, professional and brought a sense of ease to our planning and preparation. My husband and I never once felt like she was pressuring us into anything or judging any decisions we made. She was always available via email, text and offered to speak on the phone if we had even the smallest question. Denean and her team added so much to our day. We cannot thank them enough!

We hired Denean as our day-of coordinator for our wedding, but she worked with us over the course of a year to get everything perfect! She is detail-oriented, responsive, experienced, professional, and so much fun to work with! She checked in with us periodically during our planning, and knew our big day inside out as if she had planned it herself. She and her team handled everything so effortlessly the day of that I hardly knew they were there, or whether there were any issues at all! My husband and I were both in disbelief of how smoothly the wedding went, and we absolutely have Denean to thank!

Denean was absolutely a godsend! If I was wiser from the start of planning my wedding, I would have had her do the full wedding planning, but she was the Day of Coordinator for my wedding and I really don’t know what I would do without her and her team leading up to the wedding and on the day of. I chose Denean’s Party By Design because of how quickly Candice (Business Manager) responded to my questions and how she made herself available to reach her by email/phone/text about any questions I had, in addition to her professionalism and service-oriented demeanor. In addition to that, the pricing was very reasonable and I felt confident in my choice because I knew what to expect (as explained by Candice). I was fortunate to have Denean as my main Coordinator. Since I was planning my own wedding, Denean asked me questions about the wedding day that I had no clue that I should consider, which helped to alleviate a lot of my wedding planning stress. Although she was the Day of Coordinator, she was available to answer questions that I had and it meant a lot to have someone with expertise and experience that I could consult when needed. On the day of the wedding, I received so many compliments about Denean as the Coordinator and the other team members who were highly professional and helped to keep me and everyone else on time, calm, and focused on enjoying the moment. In addition to coordination, Denean also provided basic set-up for the ceremony and décor and set-up for the reception. The décor for the reception was absolutely beautiful. Denean was able to take what little vision I had and transform it into a beautiful space that was far more than I imagined. There is nothing that I would change about my wedding day, and that’s largely attributed to Denean and her team making it such a memorable and special day for my husband and I, as well as our guests.

Denean is very polite, courteous and professional. She dealt with a few unexpected situations during the wedding so well that the wedding seemed seamless and smooth to the guests. I would definitely recommend her hands down.

I cannot say enough good things about Denean and her team. From our very first meeting and up until my wedding day, she was always there to help answer my questions, offer advice and suggestions, and help me plan the wedding of my dreams every step of the way! She is the upmost professional and her attention to detail is impeccable. I hired her for day-of coordination, but her services are so much more than just that. All the pre-planning conversations we had before my wedding day, plus the help of her stellar team, made my special day run so smoothly, I honestly don’t know how I would have survived without them! From the bottom of my heart - thank you Denean!

Denean and her team are amazing at what they do! We had to find a new florist close to the wedding. Denean stepped right in and quickly became one the best decisions we ever made. Our floral arrangements were beautiful and our reception table decor looked amazing. She is passionate about her job, has great taste in design, super down-to-earth, and friendly. You can not go wrong by choosing Denean’s Party By Design.

Denean's services was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Denean and her team were professional, attentive, responsive, and accommodating. They made my day run so smoothly, so I could enjoy my day - and it was truly the best day ever. You would be crazy not to hire Denean and her team, she will treat you like family and take care of you on your special day. I am so grateful for Denean and her team - thank you for making my day so special.

If I could give Denean more stars I would. Her job was exceptional and she’s highly detailed oriented. And if anyone is debating whether they should hire Denean or not, the answer is simple, you won't regret it. Denean took care of everything and made my wedding better than my vision. I'm soo happy I hired her. She's prompt, professional and the quality of her work is perfect. A month before our wedding, we found out we were unable to use our venue and Denean immediately helped us secure a beautiful venue. I was a little apprehensive because I planned my wedding from New York and spoke to Denean mostly over the phone with two in-person meetings but Denean went above and beyond my expectations. My family and I were just in awe of the attention to every little detail she put into making our day special. I couldn’t thank Denean enough for making my wedding perfect.

Best day of our lives, all thanks to our day of coordinator! These ladies were amazing! We had a festival backyard wedding on June 10, 2017. Denean’s Party by Design took our vision and and made it a reality. Thank you for everything!

We found Denean as a day-of-coordinator based on reviews we had read online. I spoke with Candace over the phone for an initial consultation, and when we told her we would be more comfortable hiring someone if we could meet with them in person, Denean arranged to meet with my mom (I live out of town) at a very convenient location for her. We loved her instantly and booked her right away! She went above and beyond her duties as a DOC, meeting with us several times in the months leading up to the wedding, staying in constant contact with both me and my mom, attending an extra walkthrough meeting at our venue with us and our caterer, and contacting all of our vendors the week before our wedding to make sure they were on top of their jobs. She set up the enormous mass of items and decorations we had for the wedding and kept everything running perfectly that day. We fell behind schedule early on in the day and I went to her in a panic, only to find that she had already handled it and gotten us back on track. I would have been an absolute mess that day had Denean and Jessica not been around to wrangle my bridal party, family, guests, and myself and my husband. Her service was worth every penny (and she was very reasonably priced) and our family will absolutely look for her again if/when our siblings get married in the future. By the end of the planning process, I felt like she was a long lost friend, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I will miss her now that the wedding is over! If you are looking for someone to make your whole day go perfectly, look no farther than Denean!!!

Denean's Party By Design was an absolute life saver, not only on the day of and before my wedding, but throughout the whole planning process as well. She worked closely with my venue and other vendors, was quick to respond, had back up plans for everything, and was able to very quickly adapt to any changes we threw at her (and we threw several). She was attentive, intuitive, incredibly detail-oriented, friendly, easy to work with, just an absolute genius! She took so much weight off my shoulders and she is extremely affordable! All my friends told me my wedding was like a fairy tale, and that is thanks in large part to Denean's vision and seamless execution.
