Verve Event Co.

vendors, she incorporated our families and kept us on time and on budget! She was my sounding board and confidant as we planned a destination wedding. She has my highest recommendation. If you want an event planner that partners with you to wow your guests, keep you organized and so much more - hire Verve immediately!

was seamless and it was all because of Desirée! I hope to work with her again in the future.

- and wanted our big day to highlight the wedding ceremony itself but also provide a worthwhile experience to our many international & out-of-town guests. Our big day and, in fact, the entire weekend did just that. From the food, flowers, and favors to the music and wedding Mass/ceremony, each aspect of our wedding was beautifully crafted and seamlessly executed to reflect a merging of cultures that was truly authentic to us as a couple and that gave our guests an all-around fabulous time. We even got a thank you card from a guest thanking us for the experience. Seriously, what bride & groom receive a thank you card from wedding guests?! Desirée was incredibly professional. Her knowledge and expertise became even more evident in the questions she knew to ask but we didn’t and in how she anticipated/resolved so many would-be problems. I was also particular grateful for her positivity(!) and focus, which allowed us to stay on track but also enjoy the process. As a bride who was incredibly particular but somewhat unsure of her vision, Desirée helped us ensure we prioritized all the right elements and put together an experience beyond what we could have imagined. Most of all, she gave the groom and I the freedom and peace of mind to be fully present on the day-of to receive and revel in the beauty and joy of our wedding day and the sacredness of the marriage sacrament. This was perhaps the greatest wedding gift we received and one we will continue to be grateful for as the years go by.

de the preparation before the day and on the wedding day flawless. You can’t help but be impressed by the attention to detail. She is very organized and puts the clients and vendors at ease with a well though out schedule. I loved her use of tiny cards she gave every one that outlined the schedule of the day. I referred to her cards a lot and even smiled when the Bride and the groom used it as well. If you’re wanting a planner that will get it done right while treating you like family, then look no further. She is simply a pleasure to work with.

ime, which allowed for a smooth day. During Covid reschedules she made is easy for the client and all the vendors to find a new date easy and worry less. I also enjoy her podcast and live events she host on Instagram. She is always providing useful tips and tricks that is up to date for wedding planning. I love working with her and 10/10 would always recommend her to anyone!!!

her in the first place because her reviews were amazing on The Knot. My favorite part about working with Desiree is that she allowed me to have the time of my life at my wedding. I mean that in the least cliche way possible. I have never and will probably never feel as stress-free and joyful as I did on my wedding day. My husband noticed and was so grateful she was there to make that possible. I almost want to cry thinking about it because I will never be able to thank her enough for giving that to me and my husband. Also, nothing went wrong, I have no idea how that is possible. Everyone told me I should expect something to go wrong and if I did, I had no idea! Desiree runs a tight ship and was worth literally every single penny. I have been singing her praises to all of my friends getting married. She had done an amazing job positioning herself as not just an amazing wedding coordinator, but an experienced and knowledgeable resource for the entire wedding industry and brides.

ice Planning because I felt like she was going to give our wedding a lot of attention and make it really special. The other planner I interviewed seemed like her weddings were much more formulaic and she didn't seem to be as creative. I am so glad we chose Verve Event Co. because it was the most beautiful wedding ever!! Tim (my husand) and I were also able to really enjoy it and just focus on having a great time with our guests because I knew Desiree was taking care of everything. It was awesome :) The room was so stunning and I was so happy with how it turned out. Desiree really did a seriously great job on pulling together the whole design - from the table settings, to the flowers. We had a "floral cloud" and everyone was in awe of it. People also loved all the vendors we chose, from the band, to the venue, to our signature cocktail named after our fur baby. My favorite part about working with Desiree was she made me feel really comfortable and like she had everything taken care of. I had multiple people tell me leading up to the wedding that I was the calmest bride they've ever seen, which is not my normal demeanor. But I knew Desiree had it under control and that it was going to be beautiful no matter what. Also, she worked with us as we continued changing what the overall "feel" of our wedding would be. We ended up changing our minds about what style of event we wanted in the beginning and she was super accommodating and understanding. She was also super organized and creative at the same time. I felt like she kept us on task and made sure we completed things on time, but also had great ideas for the design of the day. This was important to me because not everyone is so talented at both aspects of the planning. I loved having Desiree as our planner because I knew she was looking out for us every step of the way. I wish we could have Desiree planning the rest of our married life as well!

each of the vendors at our styled shoot and displayed flexibility and savvy throughout the whole day. Verve Event Co. would be a wonderful choice for brides looking for these services!

ity I get to work for her on her team!

r team. I could see she was invested in the brides needs and did everything she could to fulfill her wishes. I will be working with her in November and I just know everything will run smoothly!

l call to rave about how beautiful everything was. Most impressive was that the bride and groom and family enjoyed the wedding without having to worry about any details once the bride arrived at the church.

However, Desirée (Verve Events) sticks out in my mind as the most elite and prominent event planner in Upstate NY and the Finger Lakes. She takes a couple’s ideas and brings them to life in a way that others can’t. Her ability to coordinate with a band or DJ at an event is seamless. She is very responsive and easy to work with. I’ve also seem her in action coordinating with photographers/videographers, bakeries and reception venues...and she is undoubtedly a master with exquisite experience and talent. Don’t miss your opportunity to work with Desirée and her staff. She will save you time and collaborate with you on your specific ideas. She will ensure that everything goes smoothly on wedding day and during the planning process. This affords you the luxury of relaxing during the adventure and simply enjoying the experience of planning your special day.

introducing herself. Closer to the event I received a logistics email. Day of event was flawless- Verve Event Co. was kind and supportive to my staff, and made the process relaxed and enjoyable. Finally, and something that will stay with me was her follow up email, letting all the vendors know how grateful she was for working together to create a beautiful day. I really appreciate that. She is one of a kind, a total professional. Highly recommend and hope to work together on many more events!

ointed.

er again soon!!

acilitate the couple's fur-child for a special photo session. She provided ingenious pocket-sized schedule cards to the vendors for quick reference throughout the day. She was instrumental in gaining the smiles from the young flower girls/ ring bearer during the formal photos, while the photographer and myself were able to concentrate on the shots. The day ran smoothly and it was a pleasure to work with her. She really did help bring the couple's special day to life.

edding day to be. As simple as that sounds, it is probably the most difficult part of the planning process but by far the most important. I can't express enough the value she brings to the table and how fantastic she is to work with. May you be lucky enough to have her on your side for one of the most memorable days of your life!

dor is kept in the loop and that is imperative. If you are planning a wedding, shower or need help executing any type of event, do not hesitate to contact/book Desiree.

ars that we had about working with a planner were mostly regarding cost and whether the services that you would be paying for were worth the price. However Verve's tiered options helped us realize that it could be in our budget. We chose to work with Verve Event Co. because Desirée was hands-down the best candidate for the job. The combination of her level of experience, personality and pricing plan made it simple to pull the trigger. We used Verve's Wedding Management service which allowed us to plan a gorgeous wedding and still have time for ourselves. We decided to have our 140 person wedding in my parent's back yard. It was a big commitment up-front and we knew we would be doing a lot of it ourselves. However, I wanted to design the day myself, so this decision made it that I could execute every detail the way I wanted it. Verve was super helpful with helping us to organized our plans, stick to a schedule and execute the more practical elements of the day. The thing that most people talk about was the food, the details and the band. It meant a lot to me that people noticed all of the work that we put into the day, it was a true family affair and we could not have pulled it off without Desirée's help. Desirée is extremely organized and responsive. She made us feel like we could ask any question and get honest and thoughtful advice. You can tell that she really loves what she does which makes her a pleasure to work with. I knew that I could rely on her to make the day turn out exactly how we envisioned it! Desirée's personality shines, she is enthusiastic about her business, she loves it! She is also extremely professional, organized and detail oriented - all qualities that are exactly what a planner should be.

ive with or who would listen to me. I chose Verve Event Co. because of her rave reviews and after my first conversation, I felt we would be a good team. In the end, I’m so glad I worked with Desirée because she made me feel like my event was the one and only thing she had going on and I loved her organization and communication! At my daughter’s shower, the compliments were non-stop and I was just beaming! The luggage tag escort cards and place settings got so many compliments. The flowers - OMG the flowers! And the menu was amazing! I already miss working with Desirée! We had so much fun, no drama! I am trying to think of another event I can do so we can work together again!"

impeccable taste are only a few of the reasons I loved working with Desiree. She is also abundantly kind, extremely prompt and organized, and quite simply, a joy to work with. Raw talent and ability is one thing, but personality is what sealed the deal for me. I will recommend Desiree to all my clients and encourage you to reach out to her as well. She will make your event shine!!

preciated. She was able to come up with a stylized event that was composed artfully, seamlessly, and completely jaw-dropping. There were no hiccups or mistakes. Whether you have a theme in mind, or if you come to her with an open-mind, she is very dependable and sure to make your event marvelous. I am very impressed and will be working with Desirée in the future!
