Delissa and her team went above and beyond to ensure that my son and his bride had the wedding of their dreams.
Delissa was my wedding planner for our wedding in March 2023. She was there every step of the way and truly had our best interest in mind.
From the photographer to the engagement pictures, venue, bridal boutique, cake tasting she was constantly working on making our day the most special day possible.
The day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about a thing and I felt like a true princess.
The most common comment about our wedding was this is the best wedding I have ever been to.
It wouldn’t have been like that if it wasn’t for Delissa and her team. Her attention to detail is impeccable, even tiny details that meant so much such as having a memorial table for my father who passed away in the 2008. She even left gifts at the front desk of our out of town, wedding guest to have a little welcoming gift upon arrival.
I highly recommend Delissa and her team for your wedding needs 💜
It was a great experience, very strategic in planning, managed time to the second, and professional to work with along with clear communication.
Everything was amazing. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We had the wedding of our dreams due to our amazing vendor.
If there were ever a time when dreams came true, it was the day my son and his beautiful bride walked down the aisle. The services provided by our event planner, @ Designs by Delissa Weddings and Events, were exceptional! It was a fairy-tale fantasy wedding come true.
The venue was decorated to near perfection-from the entrance to the exit. The tables, centerpieces, flowers, and other decor adorned the venue with the comparable elegance and style that my son and his bride also exude. (Yes, I am a little bias.)
Then there were the musical selections, delicious food, and overall ambience that resonated with that fairy-tale atmosphere.
I expected no less following our initial consultation. Delissa and her team assured us that they were more than capable of giving our happy couple the wedding of their dreams. The team did not disappoint!
Even though it has been several months since this blessed event, the bride and groom, our family, and friends are still reflecting on how much they enjoyed the ceremony, how beautiful everything was, and how the day could not have been any better.
Delissa and her team are a class act! They provided an experience that will not be soon forgotten. They are professional, but they also provide a personal touch that speaks to their desire to render the best service possible.
For these reasons, I would recommend this amazing team to make your amazing day absolutely more amazing!!!
This wedding was top notch! I loved how it was so well organized with the flow of service, punctuality, choice of decorations and overall just a very classy event. The quality of service was very professional. I was very impressed!
Delissa created a beautiful wedding ombience. Delissa's attention to detail was outstanding. Delissa's creation made it easy for our families to meet and greet all night. We enjoyed every moment. Her eye for design was nothing short of fabulous. In addition to the decor, she can wable to incorporate both the Bride and Grooms favorite things and desires in order to share with us all. Thank you Delissa for providing such amazing service and care for the Golden' Wedding!
Very professional.
I was able to be hands off and let her do the job. Took the stress off of me and my wife.
Delissa helped make our wedding flow and run smoothly. From making sure the wedding party was ready to ensuring we got in all the pictures we wanted and much more. She was very professional and answers and assisted in any way we needed.
My Husband and I wanted a small intimate wedding that reflected our union and personalities. My original organizer/decorator dropped out two weeks before the wedding. Designs by Delissa stepped in and took the stress off me and my husband. She helped coordinate the wedding and venue perfectly never before having seen the venue. She made sure the bridal suite had everything I needed and I was comfortable from start to finish.
Delissa and her team are great to work with, very detailed and highly professional!!!
You will not regret working with Designs by Delissa for your next wedding or event!

My husband and I didn’t get married in the city we lived in, so having a reliable, trusting wedding planner was a must for us. Delissa turned my dream day into a reality. I knew I wasn’t a DIY bride but I knew everything that I wanted, and she executed my vision beyond my dreams… you can’t wrong with choosing her as your wedding planner
Designs by Delissa made sure I had a wedding day to remember.
Delissa executed everything I wanted to the fullest.
She comes highly recommended.
If you want a wedding that is wonderful and memorable, Designs by Delissa will definitely make that happen. Give her your thoughts and and ideas about what you want and relax. The only words you will be saying is ok, yes, wonderful and when.
Amazing
Delissa made my wedding day hassle free - I bought her full wedding planning service and as a bride, I can say it was well worth it. I most appreciate how effective she was in negotiating with vendors and bringing our cost down - she easily paid for herself in cast savings. My day was magical and I'm so grateful!
Delissa handled everything that was asked of her and beyond for the bride & groom's families. She took the stress off the families along with adding her very personal touch. She was involved with the smallest details along with the big decisions along the way. Her calm demeanor and big smile was ever present. I would highly recommend her and can't thank her enough for all she did to make this wedding so memorable for us all!
Delissa was a sweetheart and it felt like working with an Auntie! I met her very late in the planning stages and it was such a relief to hand over the reigns and trust her with my vision. My wedding was absolutely gorgeous and her preferred vendors were awesome! She even came to my wedding ready to go after getting sick and losing her voice, and having a member of her family pass... She is a trooper, a beam of light, and I would certainly work with her again!
This is a bit late but I wanted to take this time to give a sincere shoutout to Designs by Delissa. I was looking for a wedding day coordinator to take care of all the minute details involved in a Pakistani wedding such as picking up party favors, keeping our gift box in a safe place, directing vendors, and making sure my parents were relaxed on what is supposed to be a stressful day. She did such a good job making sure our dinner buffet line went smooth.
When we were first looking for a coordinator, Delissa came by to meet with us and get a sense of what we were looking for. I love her sweet and calming personality.
Thank you Delissa and her sweet friend for helping make this a memorable and relaxed wedding day for us!
She should be considered for your wedding needs! She will give her heart and soul into the work she is tasked to do!
Fantastic job with our son's wedding! She also handled and solved a potential problem professionally. We were able to relax and enjoy the planning, the wedding, and the reception!
Delissa and her team did a great job for my son’s beautiful wedding and reception! The details from start to finish were all taken care of with professionalism! We were so pleased with their services and will refer others to them!
Delissa was great! She helped us to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of our big day.
Words cannot express my gratitude for Delissa and her staff. My daughters wedding was something out of a movie! Delissa is a #1 planner and we were incredibly blessed to have had her help. She always made use feel as though she had everything 100% under control and that is what you want in a planner!! We loved everything she came up with and she respected our input. Thanks again for making my daughters wedding AMAZING!!!
Designs By Delissa and her staff did an AWESOME job on our anniversary renewal!
The décor was beautiful! We were in awe of the wonderful work she did and how she made us feel like it was our very first time getting married!
DesignsbyDelissa & Staff ROCKS!
Delissa is a great organizer and communicator. She is dependable. She handles even the smallest details - like putting a bow on the cake cutting knife. She works well with vendors and facility coordinators. She can be firm but kind all at the same time. She is invaluable! As the mother-of-the-bride, I recommend her very highly. I did not worry about any details. After the wedding, she even brought the left over food to my house and put it in my refrigerator while we entertained out-of-town friends. Delissa is just the best!!! (I am the mother-of-the-bride, not the bride. There was no choice for MOB in the field below.)
Working with Delissa was an absolutely amazing experience! She is passionate about making her brides’ dreams come true. Her and her team are professional, detail-oriented and thorough. If I had to do it all over again, I would still work with Delissa!
Delissa took care of our special day from beginning to end! She was truly a pleasure to work with and I never had to worry about any of the details of the wedding. It was truly a stess free experience!
I had seen Delissa's work at a friend's wedding, and when my turn to walk down the aisle came, I had no doubt about my choice of wedding planner. From the first phone call to the post-wedding follow-up, Delissa was spectacular. She got to know me as a person and not only learned my preferences and personality, but she also understood them. That's HUGE! In so doing, she was able to customize key elements of the wedding, thereby streamlining the process, saving me time, frustration, and keeping the wedding within budget. But all that pales in comparison to her efforts on the wedding day. Just when I was ready to unleash my crazy, I stepped into the venue and saw her creativity and resourcefulness on display. It was better than I ever could have imagined. Throughout the day, from orchestrating hair and makeup to adding her special touches on things I never would've thought of, Delissa delivered. Even during the wedding, she and her team directed the production to perfection. And when it was over and my husband and I had left for the hotel, I heard from my parents how Delissa took control and marshaled her crew to assume the key breakdown/cleanup chores. I am a busy medical professional with an odd work schedule. To have been assigned the additional duties of putting together a wedding such as this would have been overwhelming, plus I wouldn't have had the imagination and creativity to achieve such heights. Delissa made it easy and exceeded all expectations. I can't thank her enough.
The area that distinguishes Designs by Delissa from other wedding professionals is her focus on relationships ...with vendors, venue professionals, brides and families. Our vendors loved working with her and went the extra mile for Delissa, as she negotiated the best services and rates for us. She was always available to us (bride and mom) advising on hundreds of details that went "above and beyond" our contracted agreement. She was genuinely passionate about our wedding and personally worked hard to make sure every aspect of the vision was achieved. With so many moving parts -we highly recommend Designs by Delissa's full service plan. Our wedding could not have been more wonderful!
Delissa is absolutely fabulous! She is a problem-solver and such a joy to be around. She was professional throughout our entire wedding planning process. Each appointment was solely focused on me without interruption. She would repeatedly tell me that making her brides happy is her main goal. My wedding day was flawless and I owe so much of that to Delissa. I would recommend her and her staff to any bride without hesitation.
Mrs. Delissa and her team were absolutely incredible. We had a very large wedding and held the ceremony and reception at two separate locations. They made sure everything flowed and our guests had an extraordinary experience on our special day. Everything flowed effortlessly and on time which with our size wedding seemed nearly impossible but they got it done. Their impeccable customer service is unmatched- from bribing the little ones with candy to behave to calming me (the bride) down by doing a funny dance right before walking down the aisle. You're in perfect hands with this team for your special day! We are so grateful for this team who went so far and beyond for us before and on our wedding day. For your once in a lifetime moment, you need this incredible team. Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU! - Crystal and Mike

Delissa was so helpful with every detail of wedding planning, from making the wedding weekend schedule, to recommending vendors , decorating the reception venue and assistance with the church rehearsal.

Trust me you need a coordinator and Delissa is the best!

Delissa went above and beyond even our highest expectations. She not only brought along her knowledge and expertise, but she showed genuine care and concern.
I would definitely hire her again in the future and have recommended her to my family and friends.
Delissa is truly a delightful person and you will enjoy every minute that you spend with her. She really did make our wedding dreams come true.
I wish I could have given her six stars!!
I had a very small wedding. Delissa treated me like I was priority. She was extremely creative and worked within my budget. She is a professionals!
Excellent. Services provided were above and beyond required expectations.
As a former engineering project manager and supported by family and friends, I thought that I could plan an outstanding wedding. It became clear that I was out of my league. Because there were so many details, plus my normal work schedule, I was overwhelmed. I immediately felt my stress level reduce, because Delissa was so knowledgeable of the subject matter, had numerous inside contacts, and identified areas that we had totally missed. She thought of and took care of everything with excellence. She even negotiated with the venue to save us a few thousand dollars. Delissa came in and literally saved the day! The dress that I ordered on my own was held up in customs and would not arrive in time for the wedding. She took me to the perfect bridal salon, Gowns of Grace in Dallas, where I found my dream wedding dress in less than 30 minutes! The wedding was beautiful, stress free, and fun because of Delissa's touches. I believe that God sent Delissa, so we could have an absolutely wonderful wedding!!! She is AMAZING!!!
I have always loved the Fall season. Not only that I love warm and earth tone colors like brown. orange and gold. When my big day would come I knew it would be in the Fall, in the month of October and it would be filled with all things Fall. I meet Delissa at the Bridal Show in Plano. When I met her there was something about her that made me say she was going to be my wedding planner. She was the best wedding planner I could have asked for. She was more than my planner, but she became a close friend and confidant during the planning process.
She listened to me and understood the vision I wanted for my wedding. Delissa took my visions and made it a reality. From the venue, to the vendors, to the food everything was amazing. She has developed relationship with some of the the best in the wedding industry. Delissa provides exceptional service with a smile and kin spirit. She treats every bride as if they were her own daughter. She is there with you every step of the way. She even goes bridal gown shopping with you. What wedding planner does that? Mine did.
Delissa has a passion for making a bride's vision come to reality with every detail. I am so thankful for her. My Fall Romantic Wedding was just what I envisioned.
Delissa and her staff were beyond helpful. Every service I used from the florist to the caterer and photographer were excellent. It was a joy to work with Delissa. She is prompt, courteous, and very professional.
Designs by Delissa created a beautiful experience for us and our 200 guests on our wedding day. There were no details missed and the professionalism was top notch. We entertained many out-of-town guests who all raved about their experience. We have referred many friends and would continue to do so.
