We had a timmmee!!

We hired Beyond the Decor by LaToya as a full-time planner and decor about a little over a year before the wedding date. She was very knowledgeable about everything we needed to do, and she was with us every step of the way. She made our lives much less stressful, I can't imagine having planned our wedding without her. As for the wedding day, everything was perfect and went as plan. Highly recommend!

Exquisite Design, Realized Dreams - Beyond the Decor by Latoya

In every special event, there exists an invisible thread that weaves the different elements into a cohesive, beautiful tapestry. For our 10-year vow renewal ceremony, that thread was the exquisite design orchestrated by Latoya, the brilliant designer behind Beyond the Decor.

From the moment we enlisted her services, Latoya impressed us with her artistic flair, exceptional attention to detail, and intuitive understanding of our vision. She didn't just listen to our ideas; she absorbed our story, our love, our journey, and transformed them into a visual spectacle that perfectly encapsulated our essence as a couple.

The sheer magnitude of her creativity and resourcefulness was reflected in every aspect of our ceremony. From the elegant floral arrangements to the strategic lighting, from the thoughtfully selected colors to the intricately detailed table settings, Latoya left no stone unturned. Each element was carefully chosen, perfectly positioned, and seamlessly integrated to create a setting that was at once welcoming and awe-inspiring.

What we admired most about Latoya was her commitment to making our day uniquely ours. The decor was not just beautiful; it was deeply personal, resonating with our personalities and reflecting our shared experiences. She managed to capture our decade-long journey in a beautiful visual narrative, turning our venue into a celebration of our love.

Beyond her undeniable talent, Latoya’s professionalism and patience made the planning process a joy. She handled every challenge with grace and efficiency, ensuring that our vision was realized without a hitch. Her dedication and warm personality added a reassuring calmness to the otherwise hectic event planning.

Beyond the Decor by Latoya transformed our vow renewal into a visual spectacle that wowed us and our guests. Her designs not only set the stage for our celebration but also contributed to the wonderful memories we created that day.

To anyone in search of a designer who can take your vision and transform it into a breathtaking reality, we wholeheartedly recommend Latoya and Beyond the Decor. With her at the helm, your event will be more than just beautiful; it will be a testament to your unique story.

Latoya, thank you for making our day extraordinarily beautiful. Your work is a perfect blend of art and emotion, and we feel truly fortunate to have had you as part of our celebration. Beyond the Decor, where dreams take shape, and celebrations come to life.
