Amazing Wedding day

De and her team really know how to make a couple feel special and at ease. Wedding planning can be stressful but De is there every step of the way to make things easier. From the moment we booked her to our wedding day we knew without a doubt we were taken of! The special moments seem a little more special when you have someone like De behind the scenes making it happen. She loves bringing your ideas to life and has so much knowledge to make it work beyond your dreams! We’d get married again just so we could have De make it magical all over again!

Best Cincinnati Wedding Planner

I was one of those lucky Spring 2020 brides. When Covid hit the fan, we went ahead and got married in April 2020 without any family and a total attendance of 8... including us. We pushed the party out to April 2021 and went about our newlywed quarantine. That was the first postponement.
By December 2020, I realized I would have to postpone again. I confirmed a date for April 2022 with the venue and went through the rounds of calls, schedules, contract updates, etc. Now I'm an organized person but after postponing twice, having to switch some vendors, moving out of state, ordering a THIRD round of save the dates... let's just say I was not having fun anymore. I realized I needed to find a Cincinnati Wedding Planner to help me pull it off

Luckily, The Factory Events had De Evans on their recommended vendor list. The staff raved about her and I loved her from our first conversation. She is professional, friendly, and impeccably stylish. I honestly wish I would have let her design the whole damn thing but I was 2 years deep so oh well.
De scraped together my notes and documents, listened to our visions and input, made excellent suggestions when I got lost and with a little bit of magic- we finally had us a party. De dealt with coordinating vendors in the weeks leading up to the event. She kept everyone informed of the schedule and then kept everyone on it. She reorganized the ceremony at the last minute when we had VIP guests cancel (due to COVID) and managed a new layout on the day of when rain was imminent. She handled emotional family and rowdy groomsmen with poise and grace. She even peeled all the stickers off our favors because that's the level of detail she achieves. I know she did more but I didn't see because I was too busy dancing the night away while she handled business.

If you are in need of a wedding planner in the Cincinnati area, I cannot recommend Deanna Evans enough. Even if you think you have it under control, hire her anyway so you can actually enjoy yourself.

TLDR: Hire De. She is an angel.

We recommend

Deanna was awesome. She worked with us for month of planning. We passed all of our selected vendors off to her, and she coordinated every single detail from there. The day of our wedding was seamless; all that we had to do was enjoy our big day.

De is all about the DEtails!

If you are looking for a Cincinnati Wedding Planner then you have found the right one! De Evans is extremely detailed and will not allow corners to be cut. She is invested in ensuring your dream wedding comes to life. Our experience with De was more than we could have imagined, she did all she said she would do and more. The details were on point and she kept the venue and staff in line to ensure we did not have to worry about anything on our big day. We can’t say enough about the experience we had working with De, we will forever cherish the wedding De helped us put together.

Amazing 50th Birthday Party Celebration

If you want to have an event that your friends and family will remember for years to come you must book with De Evans Events.
Deanna is definitely “The G.O.A.T”! (Greatest of all time). For my 50th birthday I envisioned having a 70’s party but I couldn’t see how it could be similar to a house party like my mom used to have when I was a child. To my surprise Deanna transformed a hotel party room into a 70’s HOUSE PARTY decorating sections of the room with the perfect ambiance for that 70’s feel.
Imagine my surprise upon my arrival I saw the guest were all dressed in 70’s attire dancing as the DJ was playing the sound of Carl Carlton, She’s a Bad Mama Jama. I was overcome with happiness and joy to see my friends and loved ones and the sparking 70’s globe that spun around the room, which I really wanted.
From the colorful living room decor, to the photo section with the high back peacock chairs and lava lamps, I appreciated every small detail.
Thank you Deanna for your punctuality, professional and most importantly for making my dream party come true. It’s was a great evening! I look forward to booking with you again for my next event.

Amazing Vendor

I’m way late on reviewing Deanna. Words are hard to describe how Deanna helped us with our wedding. She went above and beyond answered all of our questions and we really felt like we we were the only Wedding that she was handling at the time. Someone asked me recently what was one thing I regret not having or doing for my wedding and I honestly couldn’t think of anything because Deana took care of it all. I highly recommend Deana to any and all brides couples whoever for their event needs.

Amazing to work with

Deanna was absolutely amazing! When we started to plan our wedding in 2019 with Deanna we had no idea what lay ahead, including postponing our wedding due to COVID. If it wasn’t for Deanna I’m not sure how we would have survived wedding planning. She was there every step along the way and provided great ideas and input.  She coordinated everything with our vendors which was a huge help and created a flawless timeline which made the day run smoothly. Her and her team were amazing day of getting everything setup. It was almost overwhelming walking into the venue for the first time because everything was exactly how I imagined it. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Deanna and De Evans Events!!!

Amazing!

All I can say is that Deanna was amazing! She was so helpful at keeping me organized and staying on track! There are so many details to remember and Deanna helped with that every step of the way, at every check in. On the day of the wedding she did so much work and created my perfect vision and was just so helpful and amazing! She was so easy to talk ideas through with and I always knew I was in good hands! I can’t say enough about her!

Deanna is the best!

So glad we decided to book with De Evans Events. After postponing, the stress of wedding planning was overwhelming but as soon as we started working with Deanna a weight was lifted. She was there for every questions or idea we had. I also don't know what we would have done the day of if we didn't have her. She set up the entire reception so we did not have to worry about a thing. De also created the timelines seamlessly and communicated that to the vendors. All of this helped us really just enjoy our day! Would highly recommend De Evans Events to any couple!

Fresh Events was amazing to work with at a wedding I photographed in Oakley, Ohio - 21st Century Theater. Deena and her team added many personal touches that made the event special for the bride and groom.
