Dee Lee Designs - The Best of the Best!
We could probably write a novel on our experience with Dee, but we’ll try to keep it “short”. We got engaged in December 2022 and were a bit lost when it came to planning our wedding. My now husband, Joseph, wanted to get married in the latter half of 2023, which gave us less than a year to plan and with the amount of information there was on the internet about weddings and timelines, I was overwhelmed. After extensive research on wedding planners, we found Dee and reached out to her. Prior to our first meeting with Dee, we were very positive given the reviews, but once we talked with her and went into detail on our planning process, our confidence shot through the roof.
After dreaming about my wedding since I was a little girl, you would think I had more of an idea of what I envisioned, but I realized I actually had no clue. Dee spent so much time getting to know us as a couple, our vision (even though we didn’t quite have one initially), budget, our preferences, and more in order to curate what became one of the best days of our lives. By being so engaged with us, Dee became like family and the whole process was so enjoyable. In addition to wedding-related things, we would frequently discuss family, faith, stories from our past, the future, and so much more. One specific example I remember so clearly was regarding florals. Since I had no idea what florals I even liked, she showed me multiple examples, designs, and themes that I might have liked and one in particular stood out. Without even saying anything, Dee said my eyes lit up to the one that caught my eye and that just shows the magic touch she has in being able to curate a love story for who you are as a person and together as a couple.
Another thing we’d like to speak on are our vendors. All of our vendors were recommended by Dee or have previously worked with her. During our initial meetings, whether it was for a makeup trial, vision board set-up, etc, they all asked how we found them. Once we mentioned Dee, every single one of them started with, “OMG I love Dee so much” or “Dee and her team are amazing” or something along those lines. That spoke to us in volumes because we believe that people are reflections of the company they keep and it became clearer over time to see how and why Dee is the best of the best. We loved every single vendor and created a wonderful foundation and friendship with them all. We didn’t expect to build these types of relationships, but by doing so, we had a wedding day that far exceeded any expectations. During our wedding day, we were fortunate enough to work with Dee’s wonderful team members: Judy, Savannah, and Carolina. We definitely knew they put out hundreds of fires behind the scenes that we weren’t aware of, but that’s why they are so amazing - because they didn’t want us to be aware of the fires so that we could fully enjoy our day. Judy was the main coordinator for our rehearsal and wedding day and she always checked with us to ensure we were comfortable with something and went above and beyond during the day of the wedding. We always told my family and friends that Dee and her team are like fairy godmothers and it’s true because our family fell in love with them. We can’t even tell you how many positive comments of adoration and respect we received from wedding guests towards them, but it was a lot (that might end up being a second novel lol).
Lastly, we’d like to speak about Dee’s character. To say that Dee is a blessing is an understatement. Words cannot truly describe how grateful we are for her and her team. It has been our pleasure and absolute honor to work with Dee and I pray that we continue to cross paths throughout life. As I mentioned before, we discussed various topics outside of wedding planning, which showed Dee’s character as a friend, educator, family woman, businesswoman, and SO much more. I could also list all the great characteristics about her such as punctuality, professionalism, kindness, communication, dependability, but again, that could be a novel. As we kept in touch throughout the months leading up to the wedding, it was so inspiring to see DeeLeeDesigns continuously grow every week from partnerships, destination weddings, Disney weddings, and well-deserved awards and recognition. She inspired us individually and as a couple and taught us so much about life in general. I know they will continue to soar and we will be right there cheering them on in anything and everything they do. Since we became like family and admired Dee with everything she did for us, it was mandatory that our photo shot list included a picture with Dee, her team, and the vendors (see photos). Dee also did a room reveal with us for the reception and we were absolutely blown away when we opened our eyes; it was more than we ever thought possible. Dee, Joseph and I love you very much and will forever be thankful that it was in God’s plans for our paths to cross. Thank you for creating an absolute perfect day with all the pieces falling into place.
Just like someone finds “the one” in a life partner, we believe that’s how it is for finding a wedding planner too. Trust us, Dee is THE ONE.
