Verve Event Co.

nd worked with us to make sure it was absolutely a reflection of who we are. She has amazing relationships with vendors across Rochester and makes sure that every vendor understands your vision for your wedding day. On the day of our wedding, we had zero stress and full faith in Desiree and her team to pull together a beautiful ceremony and reception and they exceeded our expectations big time! We would highly recommend working with Verve Event Co. and can't say enough great things about Desiree!

your day is perfect! She travelled to Chicago for my wedding and we are so glad we hired her to make sure our weekend was perfect!

ganized when it come to the details! As the dj, it’s important for us to work side by side with a planner who shares the same level of integrity & professionalism when it comes to our clients. We’re so grateful to work with Verve Event Co. and highly recommend them to everyone. We look forward to working with them at many more events & weddings!

oordinates and communicates with all of the vendors early on which I found very helpful, and her organizational skills in preparing for the day really helped the vendors. I was able to tend to the clients knowing Desirée took care of organizing the important details that I would normally have to worry about. I have also worked with Desirée on a styled shoot. Her meticulous attention to the details and effort put into preparing everyone for the event made the day so much smoother. I highly recommend couples consider Verve Event Co. for their upcoming nuptials!

d, professional, yet still fun to work with. Because of her expertise, it allowed for the wedding planning process to run smoothly and efficiently. Her ability to correspond with both the client, and myself as the vendor, allotted more time for me to concentrate on important details behind the scenes. She was also very creative and was always one step ahead in the planning process. My favorite part of working with Desiree was her calm and easy demeaner through the entire planning process. She's so easy to talk and I would highly recommend her to anyone starting their wedding planning journey.

allest detail was of utmost concern for Desiree and her team. They ran a wedding like a major television broadcast, always being behind the scenes making sure every moment was memorable for the Groom's and their guests. I highly recommend Verve Event Co. to anyone that wants take their event to the next level!

is extremely professional, detail-oriented, creative, and energetic. Desiree's organizational skills deserve a separate shout out - we have never arrived at a wedding with more information about the plan for the day. The smooth flow that she created, plus the work of her dedicated team on the day-of, allowed us to do our best work, knowing that every detail was taken care of and there was nothing for us to worry about. Over the years, we've worked with many teams of vendors, but with Desiree leading the way, there was a noticeable difference in cohesiveness. Everyone's styles and personalities complemented each other perfectly, allowing us to all focus on making an amazing day for our couple! We all know that wedding days can be stressful and overwhelming, but the best thing about working with Desiree is that it was truly fun. From the meetings she facilitated with our couple early on, to the final delivery of their gallery, it was an amazing experience and we are SO thankful for her expertise. We cannot say enough great things about Desiree and recommend her to anyone seeking the best in the business!!

through out their day. As a vendor, communication is key, Desiree was super on top of emails and communicating any changes and full schedule. She made it super easy and enjoyable. We would love to work with her and her team again!

atering staff… having a great quarterback is essential. That said, Desiree and Verve Event Co bring that sentiment to an entirely new level! It’s rare to find someone, that isn’t just organized… but someone who cares about your wedding as if it were her own, or cares about your event as if she were the host. Desiree and her team have taken every event we’ve worked together as serious and as important as anyone should. That kind of extra effort and attention is exactly what’s required to make sure clients and guests alike are able to completely maximize their evening and the tremendous depth in which it should be enjoyed. Desiree is an incredible planner and coordinator and without question at the top of her game… her execution and work ethic makes me want to marry my wife again! Thanks Verve for all you do!

er met. We knew an overall vision of what we wanted for our day but I had no idea how to actually make it a reality. Desiree made our vision come to life and even added special details to make our day uniquely ours. Even elements that I couldn't really put into words or have a picture to show her she was able to make happen! It honestly was like she could read my mind! My mom actually said during the planning process "when I count my blessings I count Desiree twice" and it is so true. Even my husband, who was very skeptical about hiring a wedding planner to begin with could not stop talking about how amazing Desiree and her team were, and how worth it it was the morning after our wedding. The actual day went on without a single blip. Everything was on time, smooth and perfect! We still have guests that comment about how amazing our day was and specifically point out how smooth it went. That was all thanks to Desiree and her team. Thank you so much for making our day the best day ever!

Covid times and had already planned a destination wedding out of town at a venue which we ultimately cancelled and went back to square one and planning all over again...this time a local wedding in our own backyard. With our new plan and having our wedding in our backyard we were so excited yet kept running into various logistical roadblocks and it became clear we needed help! This led us on a search for a Wedding Planner and we were SO incredibly fortunate to have found Desirée!!! What led us to seek her out in the first place were the rave reviews we had read about Verve Event Co and Desirée online, and when we connected, we just knew she was the perfect fit and that we were on the same page! When Desirée entered our lives and began to help us plan our wedding our stress completely disappeared! She was prompt with all of our correspondence, attentive, organized and knowledgeable. She offered guidance in every wedding category that we needed help with and she always kept the right balance between letting us make decisions and guiding us when necessary, it was collaboration in the most perfect way. Desirée is incredibly organized and has phenomenal planning tools and a process in place to keep everything organized as well as everyone on the same page from vendors to essential wedding party members. When it came time for our wedding day my fiancé and I were completely stress free and because of Desirée we were able to focus on the excitement of the day knowing we were in good hands. When we look back on our wedding day a month ago, we cannot imagine it without Desirée! She gave us a gift that will last a lifetime and that is the gift of enjoying our day and executing on every idea we had FLAWLESSLY! Nothing went wrong and we enjoyed every minute of our day and the only reason we were able to do that is because of her! She is professional and pours her heart into her work and is worth every penny! My husband and I cannot say enough good about Desirée and recommend her to anyone needing help with their wedding (or even those that don't think they need her help)!! She is incredible to work with and gave us one of the greatest gifts of enjoying every minute of our wedding stress-free. A month later and we still cannot stop smiling and I'm not sure we ever will. Thank you Desirée and Verve Event Co!!!

design that reflected our personalities and priorities instead of a "traditional" or "classic" wedding. Everyone was amazing by the amount of creative touches and how they all complemented and reflected each other. Everything - our stationery, escort card display, china selections, photo lounge, candle favors, florals, photo lounge - was customized and totally represented our personalities and style. It was amazing to see our vision for the ceremony and reception come to life, in a way that was even better than we could have imagined and that has definitely created forever memories for us and our guests.

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.
