Excellent Wedding Planners!

Deliece and Melissa were absolutely fantastic! They really helpful from the get-go and jumped right in when we were in a time crunch–helping us create the wedding of our dreams! We could not have done it without them! Also when the groom found out his shoes didn't fit just hours before the wedding they were able to run out and bring back the EXACT SAME shoe in the correct size. We highly recommend them and hope to work with them again! Thank you again so much for everything!

Could Not Have Asked for a Better Wedding Planner

We absolutely loved working with Dahlia Events for our wedding. We went with their Rosebud collection and Deliece was our main point of contact, she was truly a joy and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She took care of everything we needed, and so much more than we even knew to ask for. Deliece came prepared with spreadsheets, thoughtful questions, and clear guidance that helped us navigate decisions we didn’t even realize we needed to make, but that proved to be essential. Her organization and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel manageable and well-supported. She handled communication with all of our vendors seamlessly and always made us feel completely taken care of, no matter the detail. When a few hiccups came up along the way, she addressed them with such ease, professionalism, and genuine empathy that we never felt stressed or worried. Beyond her incredible competence, Deliece also brought the warmest, most positive energy, our calls were always something we genuinely looked forward to. And on the wedding day itself, nothing was missed (and I truly mean nothing). Everything ran so smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without a single concern. We cannot recommend Dahlia Events highly enough. Working with Deliece was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding.

Definitely recommend!

From the moment we first reached out to Dhalia Events, we were impressed by their quick, efficient, and responsive communication style. They were so thorough in their planning that our wedding day felt completely effortless - the Dhalia team truly made everything come together seamlessly. I loved working with the entire Dhalia crew, they were all so nice and helpful that I was honestly sad to say goodbye to them when our day was over. I would recommend Dhalia Events 100 times over to any couple planning their wedding!

Dhalia Events is the best!

Dhalia Events was absolutely the right choice for our special day. Deliece and Melissa were with us every step of the way - organized, detail-oriented, and incredibly thoughtful. The day of our wedding went perfectly - from the vendor coordination, from helping organizing the wedding party, and making us feel at ease and comfortable all day. They helped us to execute our vision above and beyond! Special shout out to Kimberly who was available and considerate to the bride the entire wedding day. Our wedding day exceeded our wildest expectations - with behind-the-scenes coordination from Dhalia. Bonus points for great sense of humor too! Would absolutely recommend them to any couple on their wedding day, especially ones that are hesitant with decision-making! They made the day, and we are so grateful to have been able to work with them.

Exceptional!

I had such a positive experience working with the Dhalia team for my private estate wedding. Both Melissa and Deliece were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. I worked closely with Melissa the entire time; she was incredibly thorough and genuinely cared about every detail. I didn't really have much help planning the wedding aside from the Dhalia team, so it meant so much that they took the role seriously and were there to guide me every step of the way, from vendor selection and managing the timeline to providing their general expertise, etc.

Despite having less time to plan the wedding (around 5 months or so), I felt confident that they could pull it off, and they did not disappoint. From our initial call, their confidence, experience, and professionalism assured me, which was exactly what I needed because my partner and I had no idea what we were doing. They executed everything perfectly and brought my vision to life. It really was a perfect day. On the day of the wedding, their additional staff was exceptional. A special shoutout to Antonia for her support and attentiveness. She was a literal angel!

You can't go wrong with Dhalia Events. They made my wedding day truly magical!

Look no further than Dhalia Events!!!

Dhalia Events holds a special place for my family! We worked with Deliece in 2019 for my sisters wedding, and again for mine May 2024. The attention to detail, the strong communication, and round the clock service could not have made wedding planning as stress free as it was without Deliece and her team. They all go above and beyond to make your day so special, meaningful, and absolutely perfect! I wish we could do it all over again!!

The Dahlia team will help you to make your wedding day dream come true

I had not felt that we needed a wedding planner as our venue provided a wedding consultant who was a pleasure to work with and assured me that he and his staff would serve all our needs. My friends insisted that I needed a wedding planner so that I could enjoy the day, so I relented. After interviewing several planners, I chose Dahlia because of their professionalism and the variety of packages that they offered which allowed me to pay for the services that we needed. Melissa was a godsend. She met with us regularly beginning ten weeks prior to the event and made sure that we were organized and attending to all the details. She was incredibly thorough and always quickly responded to any of our questions. Our zoom meetings were productive, helpful, and certainly gave us piece of mind that we were going to be ready for the big weekend. Melissa was excellent at respecting our wishes and ideas and helping us to make them become reality. She is focused and practical. We had a few little glitches that I enlisted Melissa's help in and she always came through. The maid of honor’s dress got wet from sitting in a puddle in the car and when it dried it had a big stain. I called Melissa and she called me back five minutes later with the name of a local dry cleaner who she had contacted and was waiting for us to drop off the dress. They made it look like new and it was ready in plenty of time. On the day before the event, we met the rest of the staff at the rehearsal and knew that we were in great hands. Melissa, Delice and Antonia took care of everything. On the wedding day, everything went according to the schedule that Melissa had carefully planned and communicated to the wedding party and vendors. At the event, the team was everywhere and attended to every detail. I cannot say enough about how happy I am that we had the Dahlia team helping us. I had no idea how many moving parts were involved in a wedding and, thanks to Melissa, Delice, and Antonia, the day was a dream come true.

Made the wedding planning process so seamless!

I cannot recommend Dhalia Events more! Melissa and Deliece are truly pros. I went into the wedding planning process thinking that I would have everything under control, but they go above and beyond and helped me with details that I wouldn't have even thought of. They made the process so seamless and really planned everything perfectly, so during the wedding, we were able to fully relax and enjoy the night. In addition to Melissa and Deliece's help throughout the entire process, Antonia's help on the day of the wedding was crucial to its success and the whole team really made our wedding absolutely perfect.

Dhalia Thinks Of Everything!

Deliece & Melissa were integral to the success of our beautiful wedding, and life savers in their day-of coordination of the event. I selected a ten week package where my fiancée and I selected our vendors and personalized the event to our tastes, but in the two and a half months leading up to the big day they dove in head first to get a handle on every detail and help us polish off any items on our to do list that we were struggling with.
After hours of meetings to extract information that had been swirling around in my brain for a year, we were provided with a minute by minute timeline of the day, along with an entire decision making workbook that lead us through ceremony choices, first dance planning and a comprehensive item inventory to make sure no detail was left behind. They provided a budgeting workbook that made my little accountant heart flutter, and offered guidance based on years of practical experience working events and seeing how guests congregate and react to specific elements. Once their package kicked in I was able to pass off tasks that were stressing me out and know that they were being handled completely.
Their additional day-of team member, Antonia, shadowed me (the bride) for most of the day and acted like a fairy godmother—handing me an already opened bottle of water or much needed electric fan, provided hair pins out of thin air, tackling my complicated bustle, and generally being warm, pleasant, and comforting in moments of anxiety. She melted into the background when I was on, and offered a protective enclave to sink back into when I needed a minute.
The Dhalia team was flawless in their execution of the plan, and tactful in their handling of complex family relationships and herding of guests. Their pricing was clear and uncomplicated, and they were happy to answer straightforward questions with concise answers and no awkwardness or pressure to spend more than planned.
Alanis Morissette prepared me for the possibility of rain on my wedding day, but Dhalia made sure my vision still came together perfectly! Thank you so much!!

The Perfect Planning Duo!

Melissa and Deliece make a truly amazing planning team! We had a long (2 year) engagement and booked Dhalia Events as our planners roughly 18 months before the actual wedding day, but that didn't stop them from going above and beyond from the start. Not only that, they were always extremely organized, receptive to feedback, and wanted to make sure they understood exactly what we wanted/envisioned for our special day. From helping organize the budget, to corresponding with vendors/venue, to being absolute rockstar day-of coordinators, we couldn't have been happier with our choice to book Dhalia. Thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts for making our beautiful wedding run so smoothly, Melissa and Deliece!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
