Eastern Shore Events/Fine Events by Deborah Wayland

completely flooded from ground water. Rather than helping with a Plan B, they did nothing and our friends and family did EVERYTHING. Our friends and family went and bought shop-vacs, sump pumps, and extra plywood to help make the unusable usable. And don't even get me started on the details that were missed including not all of the alcohol being given to the bartenders, escort cards not being put out before cocktail hour, and the front row not being saved for parents/siblings.

aking care of it. We had a change in venue and the venue we chose was in the process of being built, so there were bumps along the way, but Debbie handled them very well. I would highly recommend her to any couple who is looking for a wedding planner.

stress during the planning phase and the day of we both felt super calm with her around. She became family over the course of planning and it felt like having a best friend with us through it all. My wife and I both agree that the best thing we did was hire Debbie for our wedding. I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding truly perfect. It was the best day of our lives and we could not have done it without Debbie!

asy to get ahold of, quick to respond to any concerns or questions I had, and very professional. Worth every penny! Highly recommend. Thanks, Debbie!

't have to do any searching. They have an amazing florist, DJ and bakery that they work with and we could not have had a more perfect day.

at were the right fit for us and also someone who could step in for any task that we were not able to take on ourselves. She exceeded our expectations when it came to that and everything else beyond that. She really got to know us, our style and what was best for us every step of the way. Debbie's attention to detail was recognized and praised by all of our guests. We loved working with her and recommend her to anyone planning their big day.

an amazing job and absolutely made this event. Without Debbie's guidance and direction, advice and all- out effort to help us find the best vendors at the most reasonable prices the wedding would have been much, much less successful. And her personality blended in so well with our group that my other three daughters want to hire her when it comes to be their time(although I hope not too soon!) We highly recommend that you hire Debbie (and all the good folks that she can help bring to the table) to help make your special day all the more special.

hat! We originally planned to have our wedding at a house in OC, MD on the bayside. After we booked it, there were some complications and we could no longer use that site anymore. Without skipping a beat (and on her Birthday even) she found several backup plans for us that were even more beautiful and fit our vision even better. We ended up booking Back Bay Bungalows so we could have several of our family and friends stay there with us for the week. It was perfect. Our theme was rustic romantic with a very intimate feel. Leading up to the week of our wedding, Deb was in full force and had a plan C in full effect. Believe it or not, a hurricane was planing to hit that weekend but, she had the ballroom of the hotel where all our guests where staying on reserve and ready to go. All of our vendors pitched in and made it absolutely beautiful. Everything was stunning and went so smoothly that day, that when people say, so sorry about the weather and all the floods I almost forget what they are talking about because Deb did such a good job keeping all of that in the background! She made our dream wedding come true.

put it 'ready' for our event. There were many many snags along the way that Debbie tirelessly helped us resolve. She is an ultimate professional - communicating and navigating all the vendors to present an absolutely beautiful wedding for our daughter. We are from New York, and have clearly different standards than many, but even for our NY guests, the reviews were 'amazing', 'glamorous', and 'just perfect'. Thanks Debbie!

ces were priceless! There is not enough space on this page to list everything that she did and thought of that helped to make our daughter's special day amazing! If you are looking for a wedding planner, you will truly be missing out if you do not chose Eastern Shore Events!

had a relatively relaxed wedding.

ted- one being that sand wasn't the best for some of our elderly family members to walk on, but we so desperately desired the feel of a beach wedding. Using her knowledge of the area and available vendors, Deb was able to find us a venue that exceeded our expectations, provided a stable ground to walk on, solved all of our problems, and gave us the beach feel we wanted. We initially met at the potential venue to discuss our ideas and to establish Deb as a day-of coordinator, but after chatting with her, we knew she would be well worth the additional expense to have her involved in every aspect. Deb was invaluable (and saved us money) every step of the way. Debbie sent us updated spreadsheets with the costs and budget, kept us organized, and ensured that we booked each vendor in a timely manner. Our wedding was absolutely amazing! There wasn't a single issue. She worked well with every vendor. Having our wedding in Lewes, DE and using vendors recommended by Debbie made our team feel like family by the end of the night and we were so sad to have it all end. But, we have amazing pictures, a video that DJ Bump exudes his enthusiasm (he really does LOVE weddings), and memories to last a lifetime. Debbie really is a Planner Extroadinaire! We love her!

h us every step of the way. At times, Debbie seemed more excited about the whole process than I was! Debbie was with us picking out our vendors and provided insightful and excellent advice. Debbie handled so much for our wedding that we were actually able to sit back and enjoy the whole process!!! Whenever I asked Debbie a question through a text message, email, or phone call, she responded right away and was always so helpful. Debbie has all the right connections and allows her customers to use her contacts to find the best vendors. Eastern Shore Events is affordable but extremely classy with taste. My wedding ceremony and reception was the most beautiful wedding I could have ever imagined. I received so many compliments on how beautiful everything was. My wedding was so perfect and I owe it all to Eastern Shore Events. I will use Eastern Shore Events in the future and will recommend this company in the future, hands down!

elp! Debbie was so great. She jumped right in and started fine tuning all the details with me right away, and was so easy to work with. I was very confident throughout the whole process. We exchanged plenty of emails and phone calls since I couldn't meet her in person. As the last week approached, I was in contact with Ellen, who was to be the coordinator on site. She was so great at executing our vision without ever meeting in person until the day before the wedding. As much as you plan and prep, there are always last minute snags that just happen--Ellen and Haley handled them gracefully! Our ceremony and reception were in two separate locations, we had a handful of DIY decorations, and a scare with my bouquet, and not once did they seem overwhelmed (because I sure was!) Ellen was also great at keeping us to our timeline and throughout our whole evening, she continued to check in with us to make sure we were doing fine. Having that personal contact was very nice. It was such a relief working with a team of reliable professionals at Eastern Shore Events. From timeline management, vendor payment, decorating, and over all coordination, they helped make our day as special and fun as it was. Thanks so much! Laura and Coe

issues and Debbie stepped right in and made the day more than we could have even dreamed of. She made sure every detail was taken care of, she ran every idea passed us with numerous options, found us the best vendors and prices. There wasnt one item or issue Debbie didnt know how to resolve. Her work is truly priceless! We would have never had such a beautiful wedding without her. Just completely incredible...I cannot thank them enough. I hope to work with them again some day!

knew that I had an amazing crew there to make sure it happened. Debbie was my go to if I needed anything at all. She kept our documents and rings safe, helped keep my mom sane, and made sure that our day was everything we could have every imagined and more. Im not exaggerating when I say that not one single thing went wrong. Well with the exception of our grooms men loosing buttons before the wedding, but then again Debbie and her husband were there to save the day! I would HIGHLY recommend using Eastern Shore Events to plan your next big event. The price is right, the people are fabulous, and they will do their best to make sure everything turns out just the way you pictured it!

t cities, so there was a lot of coordinating to be done. In addition to that, we had a barbecue at our home Thursday night and a Welcome Party after the Rehearsal Dinner Friday night. She assisted me in planning and executing both of those events. She helped me find a wonderful caterer for Thursday night and the perfect spot for the Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party Friday night and followed through with all the planning with them, always keeping me informed. When it came to the wedding, after we made our selections, she orchestrated everything with the event coordinator at the club where our reception was held, the rental companies and the florist. She assisted us with some of the small details too. She is willing and able to do whatever is asked of her and has incredible patience! I highly recommend Debbie for whatever event you are planning. You can't go wrong!
