Simply the Best!

I don't have the words to describe Denise! Our wedding would have been nothing without her. A majority of our planning happened out-of-state, and it would have been so much more stressful if it weren't for Denise's prompt and thorough communication. She answered every email within minutes...even late into the night. She communicated exclusively with our vendors, and was always transparent with us regarding all of her communications with everyone. In addition, she tirelessly researched and vetted vendors in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area for us.
We came to Phoenix several times during our planning process, and every time, Denise had a gift bag and thoughtful card waiting for us at our hotel. She would plan out our visits with well-organized itineraries of vendor meetings. We always commented that we felt like we were wedding planning with our moms. She is so nurturing and loving. She cared about us as a couple, not just as clients. And she cared so much about making our day perfect for us! She is so detail-oriented...she literally thinks of everything! Our wedding day was perfect because of all of the countless hours of planning she had done. Not to mention, she had several other weddings in the weeks prior to ours. But she made us feel like we were her only couple.
You won't regret hiring Denise as your wedding planner! She gives you her devoted attention to getting to know you, as well as to planning the wedding of your dreams. Her Instagram feed speaks to who she is as a person as it is sprinkled with "Happy Anniversary" posts to couples that she has worked with in the past. She is a fabulous wedding planner, and an even more phenomenal person!

Planning a wedding is fun, exciting, but also overwhelming! There is so much to do and I don’t know what we would have done without Denise! From the very beginning, we really clicked with her. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does, it’s not just a job but a passion. She kept us on track with our checklists and helped us with vendors. She coordinated perfectly with our venue and every detail was ironed out and every question was answered. Her communication was outstanding! She is worth every single penny!! You will be in great hands if you go with Denise, she will make sure your day is memorable and as stress free as possible.

Having Denise plan our wedding was the best decision we could have made (besides marrying each other!). Denise made our dream wedding come true! She made all of my ideas come to life! She is great at what she does and I did not worry one bit how it would turn out. I had all the faith in the world in her. She not only was our wedding planner but she became our friend and I treasure our relationship.

I cannot over state how much i loved my experience with Denise. She is a lovely person who gives everything she possibly can to make your wedding day and other events the most fantastic day you can imagine. She does this all while being a calm, assuring voice even when things do not work out. Our wedding had plenty of hiccups in the planning process and she came through time and time again with grace. Right down to the very last minutes she was fabulous. We now consider her a life long friend. You can't ask for more than that. The vendors love her and you will too.

My daughter, now son-in-law and I, would have been lost or at the very least adrift – without Denise, her heartfelt desire, devotion and commitment to this “Wedding” as well as her unwavering support, guidance, persistence and follow up – brought the “Wedding” to fruition – a perfect, beautiful day full of much warmth, love, family and friends. Thank you Denise, from the bottom of my heart all the way up, truly – Nancy Hooton

After interviewing multiple wedding planners, we found Denise with What A Day Weddings and what a difference it made with our wedding planning!

From the very beginning, Denise was proactive in assessing where we were in the planning process and what still needed to be done. She made sure to understand our goals and vision for our wedding day and helped to brainstorm very creative and personalized ideas to make our day special. She reviews all vendor contracts and even sets up a calendar with reminders for all of the vendor payment dates so you won't miss one by accident.

Our wedding day could not have gone any smoother. Denise provided a timeline for the entire day and distributed it to the wedding party and all the vendors ahead of time. While we were getting ready Denise was there every step of the way, making sure everyone was OK and that our dresses were steamed and perfect.

Months later, family and friends are *still* raving about how perfect and seamless the day went. Even the vendors that we contracted for our wedding all commented on Denise's level of detail, organization and overall kind and helpful nature. If you want your day to go smoothly, your vendors to be happy and your wedding to be picture perfect go with What A Day Weddings!

Denise was so great while planning our wedding. She allowed us to use a lot of her personal decorations and the wedding turned out absolutely beautiful, capturing our exact vision. All of the guests complimented on how gorgeous it was and how we were able to make a small backyard turn into the best wedding venue. Denise was very proactive in helping us to find the best vendors and worked with multiple changes that we had to make. We are so grateful for Denise as she took on stressful situations during the day so we wouldn't have to.

We were introduced to Denise when we offered to host my brother-in-laws wedding at our home. She is amazing. Her attention to detail spot on. She truly puts her heart in each and everything she does for the bride and groom. She was at our home the evening before for the rehearsal and back again Saturday from 9:30 am to 10:30 pm. You will be well taken care of with Denise.

The best advice that we can give to any couple reading these reviews and trying to decide if they should use What A Day Weddings is - do it. You will not regret it, Denise is one of the most lovely, helpful, friendly people we have ever met.

Trying to organise our wedding in Scottsdale whilst we were living in Australia was always going to be hard and we were recommended to look at What A Day by our photographer and it pretty much saved our sanity. Right from the start Denise was so accommodating and easy going, which matched our style perfectly. She was able to keep us on track, she had fantastic suggestions and was always willing to work with us no matter what.

We couldn't think of a better person to share the wedding experience with and would provide a recommendation for her services any day.

Denise - Thank You once again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
