Debbie is simply the best. You should contact her now! :) If I could give Debbie 10 stars, I would…read more She truly made the wedding planning process and wedding day so much better for my groom, myself and our families in every way. To start with: I was hooked on Debbie during our first conversations. Unlike other wedding planners I spoke with, she did not immediately push me on her packages and get me to sign a contract. Instead she spent two hours on the phone with me listening to our day and the issues we had run into so far planning. She immediately jumped in and worked with me trying to find solutions to these initial problems. I actually felt like she cared about our day and was going to work hard to make it perfect. That's when we chose her and over the year we planned together, we never regretted the decision. My husband and I had a complicated wedding day. We had 200 guests and had two ceremonies (Hindu and Christian) at two locations with a luncheon and evening reception. All in one day! It was logistically very complicated. In addition, Debbie had never planned an Indian wedding (which she was up front about during our initial conversations). While we definitely needed to both do our homework throughout the year, Debbie did an amazing job all year researching Hindu traditions and actually coming to us with ideas for vendors. She is unbelievably organized and meticulous which is definitely why our crazy day went so perfectly. We weren't sure if we could truly pull off our tight timeframe for the day but we did almost to the minute! Our guests definitely noticed how smooth the whole day was and appreciated it! We have received so many compliments about our wedding day from both of our families and friends. We were able to honor both sides and traditions and make the long day fun for them. Much of this success is due to Debbie. Debbie is also just truly a pleasure to work with. Her husband, Mike, and her are just "good people" that make it fun to spend hours throughout the year on the phone discussing what can be mundane details of a wedding day, checking out vendors, etc. She led us repeatedly to vendors that were similar - she tried to use smaller and locally owned vendors when possible. We were so happy with everyone she introduced us to and loved supporting local. One of the most telling signs of what Debbie meant to me is probably how I felt that week before the wedding. While I had some stress with our visitors and some private events we were hosting during the week with family and friends, I had NO stress about the wedding day itself. I had total faith that Debbie and her team would be on top of all the details. When my mom expressed a worry about how she'd know when this or that was happening on the day, I said "don't worry! listen to Debbie!" It's wonderful to NOT focus on all those details and last minute challenges of wedding planning, but rather to be able to focus on the excitement of marrying the love of your life and celebrating with family and friends. Debbie made that possible. Thank you, Debbie, for making our wedding day truly the best day ever!!

Working with Debbie at Your Perfect Event was an absolute dream. We were planning our wedding in…read moreMichigan, all the way from California. Debbie was the only vendor that I used who was able to work around the time difference and the whole planning process was seamless. We used Debbie for Day of Planning, as well as having her assist us with the rehearsal the night before. We had several phone calls in the months leading up to the event. It was so helpful that she always had a list of things that I needed to accomplish before our next call. I had so many other things going on it was difficult to stay on task. Debbie took the time to meet with me and my family during one trip to Michigan and was able to meet with me again when I returned three weeks before. She was so kind to all of my family members, after our first meeting they all commented on how organized she was. In the weeks leading up to the wedding Debbie offered her assistance with all the last minute details, she even offered to help me out if my family was starting to drive me nuts. Before the events she confirmed all vendor appointments and even worked out a few kinks we had in the scheduling. I was able to drop all of the little details for the wedding to her in advance so I would not have to worry about the little things like table numbers and seating charts. The day of our wedding Debbie and her team were so helpful, everything was seamless, she took charge of the ceremony, because the venue did not have an onsite coordinator. I did not have to worry about a thing. She even handled a little meltdown by my aunt. I do not think our wedding would have turned out so amazing without her. I would recommend her to everyone looking to have a day of coordinator. She will really put your mind at ease. You cannot put a price on the services she provides. It is worth every penny.

I would highly recommend them for anything you need. Despite being a little pricy, it was well worth the expense.

She checked in with us along the way, gave us lists of things we had totally missed, and helped us create an amazingly unique and complex experience for our guests :]. While the venue (Riviera Mansion) was fantastic, the processions and events would not have run smoothly without Amy! She made agendas and gave them to most of our vendors and friends to keep the show running smoothly. Amy troubleshooted issues quickly.

From start to finish, throughout our wedding planning process, Amy and her team exceeded our expectations. In the months leading up, Amy checked in via email, and we had a few video meetings to go over necessary details. Amy is so personable and friendly! Every chat felt like a conversation with an old friend -- yet she demonstrated the utmost professionalism. As far as tasks go, Amy is proactive, extremely detail-oriented, and always seems to be one step ahead. With my busy schedule, this is something that I really appreciated. During my wedding week, I met Amy's team, and they were just as awesome! Our day-of coordinator, Jenni-Elise, was an absolute godsend!!! Her and her assistant, Tori, did an amazing job of making sure that everything ran smoothly, and that every detail was taken care of. Of course, there were a few random mishaps (example: we were short 3 floral arrangements), but Jenni and Tori handled everything and made sure that I had nothing to worry about on my big day. Plus, they were such a blast to hang out with!! I am SO grateful that they were there with me on the most important day of my life! Our wedding was beyond perfect because of them. :) We will cherish these memories forever. THANK YOU so much, Amy, Jenni, and Tori!

We highly recommend Lynette and All Grand Events for your wedding.
