Creative, Professional - Highly Recommend

DFW provided the lighting design for our wedding - and it was so cool! Kaite coordinated with our planner to bring the vision to life. The lighting added a romantic feel to the whole night. It was so beautiful. Her team is so thorough - highly recommend!

Simply Incredible to Work With!

I was lucky enough to work with Katie and the DFW Team for my wedding on May 14, 2022. Katie did a massive install in our tent along with lighting, privacy screen, some draping for a ceremony rain plan, etc.. My family referred to Katie as our saving grace because the DFW team literally saved our wedding day vision.

The location where we got married has very strict rules, many of which centered on the use of equipment on the lawn where the tent would be going. When we realized this after already designing the whole concept for the tent, it was instant panic on how in the world any vendor would be able to install without the forklifts, we really thought we had to scratch the idea. Then came DFW, saving the day. We called Katie, met with her at the venue for a walk through and she drew up a plan and made it happen. I still to this day have absolutely no idea how they installed the piece without the use of the heavy-duty lifts, but somehow they pulled off a miracle. The install was INCREDIBLE!! It was massive, it was jaw-dropping and it was the star of the tent.

My dad worked closely with Katie during the planning process and every single time we called Katie for something we needed last minute, she was right on top of it. It was always, yes, absolutely, not a problem. Flexible and Accommodating does not encompass how wonderful Katie was throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, never for a second leaving us to feel like DFW couldn't conquer anything that was thrown at them with absolute grace and professionalism.

Katie, we'll never be able to thank you enough for all that you did for us to bring our wedding day vision full circle. My entire family is forever grateful for your hard work and kindness in working with us. You are truly one of a kind.

My dream flowers!

Katie and Marlee are amazing to work with! They did the flowers for our wedding and we could not have been happier. Katie said the flowers I wanted were out of season, but she made it work anyway, she added some flowers that were perfect! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs design, planning, decor, custom anything! They are so creative and accommodating. They made everything perfect!

I can't even begin to describe how LUCKY I was to work with DFW event design. I would recommend them to ANYONE for the best, care free, wedding planning experience. I used DFW for both full planning and design and it was WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. A friend recommended Katie Robinson and her team and I submitted a inquiry and heard very quickly from Marlee. I worked with Marlee for many months with managing my budget, finding a venue, hiring all my vendors, and she literally took care of every single detail. DFW made it so easy -- they have impeccable style and taste, and produced the most amazing weekend for all our family and friends. Because we had the full planning, they were there from start to finish and my wedding day was an absolute dream. If anything went wrong, I don't know about it!

After my wedding, all I could do was gush about how incredibly amazing they were. I had a friend who was having well, not the best luck with designers/decorators and her wedding was FAST approaching. I mean, FAST. I quickly gave her their information and I am in awe of what an INCREDIBLE job they did for her wedding and how beautiful and unique their decor was. I paid it forward and they were SO HAPPY.

DFW truly understands what you want and elevates it to the NEXT LEVEL.

Check out their blog and IG, it's serious #weddinggoals.

The team at DFW Event Design was fantastic. We had a non traditional wedding with some pretty unique requests and Katie and Marlee accommodated every single one of them with a great attitude. It was apparent that they did A LOT of work behind the scenes and helped to shield us from the stress involved with planning a wedding. There are simply are too many things they did well to list them all, so we will simply say: if you are considering hiring a wedding planner, do it. And if you’re going to do it, hire Katie.

Perfection professional and very pleasant to work with. When my husband and I were stressing about all my he details of our wedding we decided it was time to hire a planner. DFW planning was the perfect fit at the right price. Katie and her staff were very detailed oriented, they knew what we needed and executed everything to our standards. We can not thank them enough. Use this company you will be extremely pleased.

Katie and her team nailed it! I had very little left in my budget and very little time left for our wedding and decided at the last minute to look into hanging decor for our dance floor. We chose to do a mix of hanging lanterns and tissue flowers. While on location getting ready I decided to sneak a peak at the space and was thrilled. And it looked absolutely stunning when the whole space was finished with our tables and flowers. It just finished the space off perfectly! So so happy with how it turned out. And, also incredibly happy with Katie and how easy it was to work with her. DFW is great. If you are on the fence about booking them, do it!
