Debbie is a life saver. She gave my husband and I the wedding we wanted and even more. She was very helpful in each aspect of planning and also on the day of the wedding. I could relax knowing that everything would turn out because Debbie was taking care of it.
We had a change in venue and the venue we chose was in the process of being built, so there were bumps along the way, but Debbie handled them very well. I would highly recommend her to any couple who is looking for a wedding planner.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Debbie from December 2016 up until our wedding on August 26, 2017. She was simply amazing and helped us make our day everything we wanted. We could not have done it without her. She helped ease our stress during the planning phase and the day of we both felt super calm with her around. She became family over the course of planning and it felt like having a best friend with us through it all. My wife and I both agree that the best thing we did was hire Debbie for our wedding. I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding truly perfect. It was the best day of our lives and we could not have done it without Debbie!

Debbie was amazing, there are no other words. She was always so calming, regardless of the situation. She always took my side in any family disagreements :-) She was on top of things from a planning and detail perspective. She was proactive, always asked the right questions at the right time and ensured loose ends were all tied up with plenty of time. No matter the time of day, Debbie was always available via phone, text, email, etc. and did whatever she could to make me feel comfortable, calm and SO excited for the big day! Even my husband, who was not involved in the wedding planning process at all, commented at the end of the weekend how great Debbie was. My mom and sisters who were involved in planning loved working with her too. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone to become your best friend and take all the responsibility off your plate :-)

Our Wedding was back in April, and Debbie Wayland was our planner. She was so active in the planning process and was very easy to reach at all times. The day of the wedding there were some bumps in the road with the wedding venue, and Debbie stepped in and worked her magic and none of the guests ever knew that there were any issues. She was truly amazing. Everything looked amazing, it was way beyond our wildest dreams. She makes everything she touches look fantastic! I would highly recommend her. Plus she is a blast to work with! We can't thank Debbie enough for all that she did!

Debbie and Ellen at ESE (Eastern Shore Events) were life savers. My wedding was 8/27/16 and although I booked the month of package, Debbie, the owner of ESE, was still willing to help out every step of the way from the time I hired her in November 2015 by helping with booking hotels and other vendors. She helped to make my outdoor tented reception at Lighthouse Sound in Bishopville, MD the exact nautical theme I envisioned. Debbie had many creative ideas and went the extra mile to find decor. I have a demanding job and hiring ESE was the best thing I spent money on because it took a lot of stress out of planning. Debbie had all the details under control and reminded me when I needed to do things. Although Debbie had already been hired to be at a wedding on my day, she made sure to be there when the tent was being set up and was extremely responsive. Ellen, who works with Debbie, was amazing and stepped in to handle my rehearsal and wedding day. Ellen was a pleasure to work with and my entire bridal party and parents were happy she was there to handle things as they arose the day before and the day of the wedding. She had an excellent demeanor and had a way of creating a calming presence. Ellen and Debbie also went the extra mile to take time and visit the small church where we had our ceremony before the wedding to make sure plans would be in place to fit all of our guests. Debbie and Ellen are true professionals and I highly recommend hiring ESE.

Debbie was one of the best investments we made when planning our wedding. She was extremely nice and accommodating. She truly wants you to have an amazing experience and goes above and beyond what is required to make sure that happens. She has a ton of contacts and knowledge which makes you feel very comfortable with her helping you along the way! She was so helpful on the day of the wedding also to help with last minute details and little mishaps that happen along the way she was able to make everything better/perfect without me as the bride having to give it a 2nd thought. I highly recommend Debbie and her team for your big day!

Debbie and Eastern Shore Events was a life saver! I am so glad I found her. Whatever I needed she was ready with solutions and/or contacts. And all the people that she suggested were fabulous. The wedding was perfect and beautiful! Thank you Debbie!

WOW, I don't even know where to start! Our entire experience with Deb from Eastern Shore Events was absolutely phenomenal. From the beginning, she went out of her way to make sure she knew what our vision was and she made it happen, no matter what! We originally planned to have our wedding at a house in OC, MD on the bayside. After we booked it, there were some complications and we could no longer use that site anymore. Without skipping a beat (and on her Birthday even) she found several backup plans for us that were even more beautiful and fit our vision even better. We ended up booking Back Bay Bungalows so we could have several of our family and friends stay there with us for the week. It was perfect. Our theme was rustic romantic with a very intimate feel. Leading up to the week of our wedding, Deb was in full force and had a plan C in full effect. Believe it or not, a hurricane was planing to hit that weekend but, she had the ballroom of the hotel where all our guests where staying on reserve and ready to go. All of our vendors pitched in and made it absolutely beautiful. Everything was stunning and went so smoothly that day, that when people say, so sorry about the weather and all the floods I almost forget what they are talking about because Deb did such a good job keeping all of that in the background! She made our dream wedding come true.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
