Distinct Event Planning was amazing. I loved working with Lucretia to plan my wedding. She exceeded every expectation I ever had about how my wedding was suppose to look and feel. Her table designs were beautiful. The vendors that she referred is to were great. Lucretia and her staff were so nice to my husband and I and made us feel so special on our wedding day. If you need an event planner, get Distinct Event Planning.

In the midst of starting a new job, my husband starting a new job, buying a home AND planning a wedding...I would've lost my marbles if I didn't hire Distinct Event Planning. We selected the full package that included design & decor, planning & execution. I had a vision, but Lucretia and her team brought it to life. There were times where I was stressed in other areas, but my wedding was one area that was extremely STRESS FREE from planning to the moment I left the venue. She was professional, prompt, creative, responsive, flexible and HILARIOUS. She knew just the right vendors to reach out to that fit my style, & budget~~and I received top notch service from ALL. Because I work in the event management field of a major hotel chain, I have an eye for detail, and I'll admit my standards are high, but Distinct Event Planning exceeded my expectations.
Some of my favorite responses from my guests were:
"I had so much fun! The wedding was well executed and classy"
"The food selections were the best I ever had at a wedding"
"Who did the design work?! It was GOREGEOUS"

For future brides who are on the fence of hiring a planner...DO IT...or at least schedule a free consultation! You will save yourself time, energy and MONEY. There are a lot of details that could've been forgotten, but weren't. Months after the wedding, I look back on my special day and have no regrets because it was perfect & worth the money spent.

To anyone looking for an outstanding event planning team - We had an incredible experience working with Lucretia Williams and Distinct Event Planning. The negotiations went very smoothly, and Lucretia was on top of every aspect of the discussion. She was able to get our agreement authorized, and our deposit to us in a timely and convenient manner. Next we had a detailed conversation with Lucretia on the theme for the event and the tentative agenda, so we knew what we needed to know to help make our role in the event fit well with all the other people and ideas involved. We received a terrific Event Timeline from Lucretia which gave us everything we needed to know to complete our preparation of our song selections and set lists for the evening. We even got from her some helpful insights into the parking and load-in idiosyncrasies of The Ivory Room in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. Upon arrival on the event date, we were warmly greeted by Lucretia. The flow and pacing of the event was perfect, and we ended on time. During the course of the evening we received concise and friendly updates from Lucretia as we moved from one segment to another. All in all, between the room and the fabulous view, the marvelous décor, the gorgeous floral arrangements, the personalized table menus and wine bottles, the centerpieces, linens, the decals on the chairs, the beautifully done and very appreciated gift bags at the conclusion, and especially the warmth and charm of the people with whom we enjoyed working, I don’t know how the event could have been improved. As an Entertainment Services Provider, our company does all kinds of events big and small, all over the country and we have worked with the best of the best, as certainly was the was the case in this instance. If someone seeking a reference would like to discuss with me any aspect of our experience, feel free to call me directly at 513-576-9766. We are most grateful to you ladies for your hospitality and your professionalism.
