The best wedding planner!

Working with our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always a few steps ahead, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. Her professionalism, prompt communication, and constant availability gave us peace of mind every step of the way. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If you want someone who truly takes your vision seriously and supports you throughout the process, we couldn’t recommend her more.

Best Wedding Planner Ever!!!

I think it speaks volumes about a wedding planner when your entire family and friends "Thank God" for your wedding planner, and I could not agree more, Thank God for Lady Vye. My husband and I were blown away by Lady Vye's professionalism and work ethic from the very first time we met her. She went above and beyond to turn our vision into reality. Furthermore, I cannot tell you how many times her YEARS of experience saved us from committing a wedding faux pas, because at the end of the day, you don't know what you don't know. However, Lady Vye knows, and she'll never steer you wrong. The best money we spent this entire wedding was on Lady Vye.

The Roberts 2024

I cannot recommend Vivian with DesignbyLadyVye enough. We had a destination wedding and she was instrumental in the year long coordination, with the sales team, onsite team and of course my guests. Her being onsite is a must investment for any surprises, as some seem to be on island time. She was very professional and responsive and I trusted every decision along the way as the subject matter expert! Cheers to you!

Short term notice

The Designs by Lady Vye team expertly crafted a beautiful and personalized wedding day experience for us with less than 3 months notice! Owner Vivian Baldwin called us herself and had multiple hourly conversations to help steer us in the right direction and retrieve the needed information about our preferences to create the perfect family focused wedding day experience we desired. She coordinated all details with the vendors and made sure our day ran smoothly so that we could enjoy our friends and family without worrying about the day’s details. I would highly recommend Vivian and her team to future brides and grooms. 🤗
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Vivian's creativity is awesome, when me the dj walk into a venue and see the decorations and have to stop and take a real good look, then I see Vivian come from behind a backdrop or door. I just shake my head and go, Vivian you amazed me again. Excellent vender to work side by side with.
