About
On WeddingWire since 2019
Most planning companies are award-winning, and frankly, so are we. So what makes us different?
Our approach and our couples.
We are a full-service team of Hudson Valley Wedding Planners. Headed by two co-founders, Melissa and Deliece; our team currently holds over 20 years' experience in the industry that spans several regions across the US as well as global destinations. We curate and produce highly personalized and tailored events from the ground-up, whether it be a 20-person intimate soiree, a built-from-scratch private estate celebration or a 600+ person extravaganza!
We focus on the uniqueness of our couples by encouraging them to be their most authentic and raw selves. Our couples are as interested in the journey as they are in the end product. They are deep thinkers and open about their needs, even if their need is to say "I have no idea how to execute this, and I need help".
Planning with our team is often described as easy. We represent a unique mix of consistent professionalism with fun interactions, allowing our couples to approach their big day with confidence and excitement.
Our couples plan with us for 3 main reasons:
1. Our History & Experience: Our co-founders are educated up to MBA level and have a unique combination of high-level corporate experience in the luxury brand and design industry, coupled with on the ground experience in the event industry. Our team has worked events at all levels, from back of house support all the way to leading and producing multi-day corporate conventions and retreats.
2. Our Style & Creativity: Our Founder Deliece, worked as a professional dancer and choreographer for over 15 years. She has a unique eye for creating moments throughout events that are intriguing and that pull out the nuances of our couples' personalities. She dreams with you! Our co-Founder Melissa, has a corporate finance background and is always thinking about the logistics and delivery of the end product. Melissa also trained for over 9 years with one of the most prominent brands in the NY and CT Region, Abigail & Kirsch. Melissa has an incredible depth of knowledge that gives our clients confidence and comfort throughout the planning process.
3. Our Professionalism & Relationships: Our couples love that they can call us friends, while also knowing that their events will take priority. We value exactly what our clients value and work hard to get it right, every time.
Wait, there's MORE - We've commissioned events for large corporate brands and worked with top tier social media influencers to plan their events. Our deepest love, however, is for our private clients. We take the time to understand their vision, as well as what makes them excited, inspired and unique as people. After all, isn't that what we are here to celebrate? People!
If you identify with our style, you're already halfway there. That's our Dhalia Promise. Let's connect to start your Dhalia Experience!

Perspicacity and meticulousness are my strengths, and my focus is always on the end result. My journey to founding Dhalia Events includes professional experience as a Global Director of HR as well as a solid business focus by leveraging my MBA.
Both of these, combined with my genine love for events have helped to build a company that is backed by passion and real-world, professional expertise.
I'm convinced that our clients refer us not only because of our attention to detail, but because we internalize their "vibe" and "energy". When we win a new client, it's never taken for granted as the consistency of our work and our reputation is directly related to the consistency of satisfaction of all our clients.
Also:
If my husband would get on board, I'd probably adopt as many cats as could fit in our house! I also believe it's fact that salty snacks are the best kind of snacks and that dancing is the cure for pretty much everything.
I genuinely enjoy the entire planning process and value how invested our clients are in their events.We've seen budgets in the hundreds to the hundreds of thousands and make sure to mirror that investment through our work. Plus, the ability to combine my background in Finance & Accounting, with my 10+ years' work in Hospitality & Operations has been a dream come true. Numbers and events are an odd combination to love, but I truly do love them both.
Also:
If I could spend the majority of the year camping in the Catskills, I would. Family is everything and my two kids are the most awesome kids you will ever meet. No seriously, you should meet them!
