Jecholiah has a great eye for design and works hard to ensure her customers are happy. When it came to planning the event she was helpful and patient. The picnic came with games to play, a charcuterie board, sparkling water, lemonade, a nice table setting, a Bluetooth speaker, napkins, and blankets to sit on. We could tell she pays attention to detail and enjoys what she does. Thank you for making my partner happy, which inevitably makes me happy!

Vicky was my wedding planner, and I really can't say enough about her. Let's just start from the…read morebeginning... I interviewed two planners, and I knew I wanted Vicky right away because I was confident that she could get the job done. She didn't want to be my best friend--she wanted to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams while staying under budget. When we were deciding on what services we wanted her to take care of, she showed us this very detailed list of services, kind of like an a la carte menu. We wanted to keep our wedding planner services at $3000 I think, and so we basically picked and chose which things we wanted her to do. SO SIMPLE. No negotiating necessary. After that, she made it feel like our wedding was the only wedding she was working on. Such attention to detail, with a balance of her suggestions and getting our input so that it would still be our wedding. She was honest and straightforward about what she thought were bad ideas, which made us trust in the things that she was excited about and thought were great ideas. Vicky just has so much experience that--really--every little tiny detail was taken care of, so that on the day of our wedding, all we had to do was get our hair and makeup done and show up at the wedding. (My husband and the groomsmen were actually bored the day of our wedding!) The weeks before the wedding, my friends--who know that I get stressed out managing dinner reservations--were amazed to see me so stress-free! Lastly, and maybe I should've opened with this, as soon as we booked all of our vendors, I knew that the cost of having Vicky as our wedding planner paid for itself. The money and time we saved using Vicky's contacts (especially DJ, caterer and florist) was significant. SIGNIFICANT. Please consider Vicky for your event planning services! She is amazing!

I would recommend her to anyone in the DC area looking for a solid planner.

My maid of honor/sister suggested we hire DEI as a day of coordinator. She had been very impressed with their presentation at a wedding expo and thought they would be a good fit.

Before the wedding, Amaia worked with us and our vendors to put together a master plan and itinerary that proved instrumental the day of. She also worked with the hotel to flesh out and finalize the BEO and served as our advocate throughout the experience. Having someone who can "talk shop" with the hotel coordinator was really valuable to us. From set up to tear down, Amaia worked with our vendors and the hotel to make sure every detail was executed perfectly. She regularly checked in with us to make sure our needs were met and even checked in on our families! Everyone commented how put together and professional she was! We never had to worry about anything - exactly what you want from a planner. We'd love to work with her again!

She walked into the event with no preparation and immediately jumped in and helped in every aspect -- ideating where items should be placed, making suggestions with respect to logistics, setting up/cleaning up meals, always thinking one step ahead.The day went so much more smoothly than it would have had she not been there. She is clearly very skilled in executing events and showed a great ability to think on her feet and deal with curveballs (that are always thrown during an event).

Alexis and her assistant did not disappoint. She was very accommodating throughout the process and was always punctual to our meetings and on going e-mail communication. Everyone, including myself were super impressed with her commitment to make our wedding day the best and most organized. She was very accommodating to the bridal party, but knew when it was time to put her foot down and get things moving. Very assertive when she needed to be, and i can certainly appreciate that. It is hard to keep everything moving along -- if you don't have the attention of the audience, so i was very appreciative that she could maintain her composure and work with so many moving parts. I will say that Alexis went above and beyond at our wedding. The venue had some step backs and didn't execute all of our wishes, but Alexis was there to the rescue. She was able to complete all of the necessary tasks, while still managing all of the vendors and the wedding party. To say the least, i am grateful to have her there. Not sure many other event planners would've been able to handle the uncertainty of some of the details. Thank you, thank you!

It initially started with a…read morevirtual 30 min. consultation where she asked all of the questions to get an understanding of our budget and our vision. After the consultation within the next couple of days, I received an email with some venues to look at and visit. Andrea took care of setting up the appointments to visit locations based on our schedule, once we selected the venue she contacted all of the vendors that we selected as well, we didn't have to deal with the vendors unless we wanted to. Her service includes unlimited calls, texts, and emails and she definitely lived up to that! Her response time was always within minutes and she always had time to sit and answer every question I had. When it comes to budgeting she is a realist and will give you an honest answer to ensure you are making a wise choice, I trusted her experience and she helped me save a lot of money. It's good to work with someone who will give you sound advice because as a bride I got caught up in things that didn't matter, like the color of napkins... Andrea kept it real about what truly matters on your day. And now that I am married she was right. On the day of the wedding, she was at the venue very early and was in communication with all vendors, and knew what everyone was doing. Some things like all weddings didn't go as planned but she kept me calm and made sure my focus was on getting married. She thinks quickly on her feet and is great at solving problems. If there was an issue she had a solution. Andrea has a great personality and you will not regret working with her. I plan on using her for events in the future!
