The Best Decision We Made: Truly Exceptional From Start to Finish

If I could give TUM Socials more than five stars, I absolutely would.

From our very first conversation, Dee Dee made my wife Ashley and me feel seen, heard, and completely at ease. Planning a wedding can quickly become overwhelming, but she stepped in with a level of organization, creativity, and calm confidence that reassured us every step of the way. What stood out most was her ability to truly understand our vision and elevate it beyond anything we could have imagined.

Ashley and I are both very detail-oriented and had a clear vision for our day. I will be the first to admit that I can be very particular when it comes to execution because I wanted every element of our wedding to feel intentional, cohesive, and truly unforgettable. Dee Dee welcomed our high standards with patience, professionalism, and grace. No matter how specific the request, she approached it with a solutions-driven mindset and never made us feel like we were asking for too much. Instead, she matched our energy and delivered at the highest level.

Dee Dee is not just a planner; she is a strategist, a problem-solver, and a true advocate for her couples. She guided us through every decision with honesty and expertise, connected us with an exceptional vendor team, and ensured that even the smallest details were executed flawlessly. Because of her leadership, Ashley and I were able to be fully present on our wedding day rather than worrying about logistics.

Our wedding was elegant, seamless, and deeply personal, which is a direct reflection of Dee Dee’s talent and dedication. Guests are still telling us it was one of the most beautiful and well-orchestrated weddings they have ever attended, and we owe so much of that experience to her.

Beyond her professionalism, Dee Dee is simply a joy to work with. She cares deeply about her couples and treats your wedding as if it were her own. That level of care is rare, and it made all the difference.

Choosing TUM Socials was one of the best decisions Ashley and I made during our entire wedding journey. If you are searching for a planner who will protect your peace, champion your vision, and deliver an exceptional experience, look no further than Dee Dee and her team.

Forever grateful,
Jayce Thompson

Well organized and great to work with

Deedee of tumsocials was great to work with for my May 2023 wedding. She personalized her recommended based on my husband’s and I personality. The vendors she recommended and worked with were great and everything came together nicely. We had a two day wedding and it was a lot of work, but Deedee made sure everyone was informed and organized for the wedding.

If I was to do everything again, I would definitely choose Deedee of tumsocials to work with. She definitely knows what she is doing and will go beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly on your wedding day.

Exceptional Planner, thank me later!

I hired Tum Socials (DeeDee George) for my wedding on 10/8/22 after having a nightmare of an experience with my initial planner. It was 6 weeks before my wedding and I was in a terrible predicament (to say the least). From the first phone call I had with DeeDee, she made me feel at ease. She is kind, attentive to your concerns, and most importantly, she is genuine. There are not enough words to express just how grateful I am to her and her exceptional team.

In a time where so many people call themselves "planners", DeeDee is the real deal. She is organized, efficient, and responsive; all of which put me at ease during such a stressful period. She is also so much fun! We had the best time working with her and was so grateful for all of her professional recommendations. She is truly invested in making sure your vision is realized. My only regret is that I did not hire her from the very beginning, but you live and you learn.

If you are questioning why you should hire TUM Socials over other planners, the answer is simply because she (DeeDee) advocates for the bride and groom. At the end of the day, a wedding is a 1 day event out of many years in your marriage. However, when you work with Tum Socials, it is a day you will cherish forever.

Thanks to DeeDee and her team, our wedding was executed PERFECTLY. Literally everything I prayed for, she worked hard to ensure it happened and happened well!. She gave my family and our guests an experience of a lifetime. Thank you so much DeeDee, you are a blessing and we could not be more grateful.

Tum socials all the way!

My husband and I were very clear early on that we wanted to hire a quality wedding planning team to help us with the planning and execution of our big day. We were honest about having no idea about everything it will take to plan a wedding and wanted to hire professionals who could offer that hand held/step by step guidance. After our initial informational interview with the team lead of TUM Socials, Dee Dee George, we were sold on working with them and opted for the full planning package. For the year we worked together, Dee Dee prioritized our vision and ideas; was organized, upfront, honest, and practical about action items and timelines; and was reassuring, nurturing, and simply kind during times of stress and anxiety for us as a couple. All qualities an expert planner should have. In addition to the expert skill and knowledge that TUM Socials exudes, they offered a variety of the BEST vendors ever which speaks to the excellent relationships the team maintains within the larger wedding business community. And if a particular vendor wasn't in our budget, there was always another option available that put us at ease.

We are so appreciative about how EASILY our wedding day flowed. From the time we woke up to the very last song of the night, Dee Dee and her team made sure we, as well as our family members, bridal parties, and guests were well taken care of and pampered. It's these personal touches that made our day so special. We truly felt like VIP guests who just had to show up at the wedding and have fun.

There are not enough praises I can give to TUM Socials. For anyone contemplating on hiring a wedding planner, please JUST DO IT! It makes all the difference for an expert in the field to oversee details you are simply not knowledgable about. It will ensure a stress free (as possible) planning journey and an enjoyable and fun wedding day. And of course, if you are in the Washington, DC area, lock in TUM Socials.

We are so excited to utilize their services for future milestones down the road such as birthday parties and baby showers. Dee Dee, you have life long clients with us!

With love,
Camille and Gbenga #GNCWed

The Best Wedding Ever!

Working with DeeDee and TUM Socials on our wedding planning was an excellent decision. The TUM Socials team were very a professional and wonderful group of individuals. In addition, DeeDee was extremely flexible and accommodating; she was very helpful with providing suggestions regarding several decisions throughout the entire process.

The team essentially felt like family, who were very helpful, reliable and supportive at all times. DeeDee and the team truly helped bring our vision to life. We had so many guests refer to our wedding as either the best or one of the best they had ever been to.

Our wedding was not just an event, but rather a joyous, memorable “experience”. TUM Socials is hands down a “10 out of 10, Highly Recommend!”.
