DVS Events

Victoria came in after we had already started doing some vendor planning on our own and made everything so much easier. She handled the communications and kept track of things as they got overwhelming for us. She advocated for us through everything and always took care of things. Our wedding weekend went so smoothly, we didn't have to worry about any problems and everything was taken care of because of her team. She managed everything, including all the extra things that we wanted. We're so so grateful to her for making our wedding planning process and our wedding weekend so smooth and memorable. Highly highly recommend DVS events for your event planning!

Victoria went absolutely above and beyond for me and my husbands wedding this fall. I tell everyone I know that I could not have done it without her. She asked questions to vendors I would never have thought of, found us the most perfect vendor team (her recommendation for a florist was fantastic!), and ensured the day went smoothly. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the flow of the day and it’s all her. Thank you DVS Events!

We worked with Victoria and her team on our October 2025 wedding with a 6-week coordinating package. Their team has a lot of experience in the Chicago area, so are very knowledgeable about vendors, locations, and other considerations.

Victoria met with us multiple times beginning in September 2025 to help us prepare for our wedding. The meetings were well-organized and helped us to get our timeline ready, which Victoria communicated to our other vendors and ensured everyone was on the same page.

On the day of our wedding, Victoria and her team helped get all of our personal items to the venue and set up perfectly. Any hiccups were dealt with calmly, professionally, and efficiently by her and her team. Her team also packed up all of our personal items at the end of the night so we could enjoy ourselves to the last minute.

Hiring a coordinator was so worth it to us. I was able to shut off my type-A personality brain and just enjoy the day knowing that someone else (who has done this many more times than me!) could be in charge! Victoria and her team were great, and I would highly recommend them!

If you live in the Chicagoland area, you absolutely should choose Victoria and DVS Events as your wedding planning team! Victoria was a godsend during our wedding in October 2024 and I can confidently say that she was instrumental to making our wedding weekend a huge success- we just could not have done it without her and the DVS team. Victoria was with our family every step of the way, constantly available over phone and email as we finalized every minute detail of our wedding. She showed up with a smile and the best suggestions- in fact, our floral, decor, photography, and catering vendors were all her recommendation and they were outstanding. Even when some things got forgotten or didn't go exactly according to plan, she somehow had the solution. Victoria really cared about our families and guests and went above and beyond to coordinate everything in a seamless manner. Truly eternally grateful for her! Wedding planning is chaotic and it's impossible to navigate all the vendors, hotel requirements, and execution during your big day. But with Victoria and DVS, you're treated like family and they will go above and beyond to make sure you have the best wedding possible. Highly, highly recommend DVS Events!

From concept to delivery, DVS far exceeded our expectations.

**Pre-event:** Victoria and her team were incredibly flexible when planning our event. They were punctual for vendor meetings and led discussions to achieve the best outcomes within our budget and creative design. Victoria maintained excellent communication throughout the process. The website she used to track vendor contracts and share information was extremely helpful. DVS’s list of trusted vendors was extensive, and each vendor was professional and engaging. Collectively, DVS presented a highly creative team that not only exceeded our expectations but also stayed within budget. Victoria’s creative input was invaluable and contributed to an event that truly wowed our audience.

**Event Delivery:** DVS Events paid great attention to detail, ensuring that the setup ran smoothly and everything was executed as envisioned and on schedule. They created a comprehensive run of show that was shared with all vendors and team members. DVS effectively managed all teams, delivering a stunning event while ensuring everyone enjoyed the process. They were adaptable and confidently navigated changing weather conditions.

**Post-event:** DVS Events made sure that all vendors left the property in the same condition in which it was found. They followed up with invoicing and ensured that all vendors were satisfied. The event wrap-up was smooth and flawless.

Victoria and her team at DVS Events are truly magical! They did a fantastic job helping us navigate a large wedding while savoring every minute with our loved ones. We did the month of package and it was worth its weight in gold! Victoria set up weekly calls with myself and my mom ahead of the wedding weekend. We also had access to her wedding website, which helped us house our contracts and create the timeline for our vendors. During each call, Victoria offered advice from tipping vendors all the way to which detail shots we should consider. We truly felt prepared for the wedding weekend!
She frequently communicated with our vendors and advocated for our concerns. I have younger brothers who have autism and they were groomsmen. She asked questions on how to best communicate with them as well as their support workers. Victoria’s attention to detail and compassion was helpful during our photos before and after the ceremony. I also have a grandfather that experienced a medical episode prior to the wedding. Victoria and her team made sure he was comfortable and able to enjoy the festivities. I truly appreciate that she looked out for everyone in my family!
Victoria truly knocked it out of the park during the reception. It was amazing watching her seamlessly interact with all of our vendors and ensure our timeline was running smoothly. She helped our best man, maid of honor, and matron of honor feel at ease before their speeches. Victoria repeatedly checked on my husband and I to see if we needed anything. She helped coordinate the storage of important items during clean-up such as the card box and neon sign. My parents had the best time because Victoria ensured everything was going to plan. I cannot recommend her services enough! Victoria is an amazing day of coordinator!

Victoria Shultz and her team at DVS Events did a fantastically superb job of helping us plan our son’s wedding. They were professional, helpful, and always available whenever we needed them to handle a task, discuss something over the phone, a video meeting, or live in person. They did a great job in connecting with all the vendors, coordinating and handling all the mundane tasks to make sure that everything flowed smoothly.

Victoria was always available for us, she was always courteous, and we could rely on her to take care of any task that we threw in her plate. She was very helpful with her suggestions and even helped us in adding additional touches such as adding a harpist to play beautiful music at the wedding and while the bride walked down the aisle!

We are so glad that we were able to find and select Victoria and DVS Events as a wedding planner. It was an Indian wedding that lasted 4 days and Victoria made sure that everything moved along smoothly, perfectly, and on time! We couldn’t be happier with their performance. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking to get a competent, effective, and pleasant wedding planner.

Victoria helped make our day absolutely perfect. From multiple meetings to discuss the details and create a timeline, to going above and beyond on the actual day, we couldn’t be more happy with our decision to book DVS Events. She handled all the coordination with vendors, set up our decor, and made sure we had everything we needed so we could truly enjoy every second of our day completely stress free. THANK YOU VICTORIA AND TEAM!

We highly recommend using DVS Events for your next event! We used them for 'month of' and 'day of' wedding coordinating for our NYE Wedding on 12/31/24 and they were absolutely amazing! Victoria kept us highly organized and on time - which was imperative since time flies when you're having fun. She also handled last minute changes and additions with the utmost efficiency. For example, it rained on our wedding day so that required moving photos indoors. Victoria was able to use her contacts to help us get our photos indoors within 48 hours of the event. These are the little things you forget when you're planning a wedding. Really grateful for DVS Events and hope to work with them again in the future.

We LOVED working with DVS! They helped immensely with the wedding planning process and made the night run so smoothly we didn't have to worry about a thing! Victoria and her team were incredible and so responsive and we truly couldn't have done it without them!
