Debra and Her Team Made Our Wedding Day Perfect - Genuine, Compassionate, Dedicated, and Supportive!

I’m writing this review as both my Wife Allie and I had not only an incredible experience with Debra and her team (Esmeralda, Nadia, Martuly,). From day one, Debra made us feel like family, she was available whenever we needed her, she kept us on task, and provided her guidance and advice each step of the way. I know my wife and I both agree that the day would not have been the same without Weddings by Debra and her team. If you are considering whether or not you need a wedding planner, our suggestion is to give Debra a call, text, or email her. She’s such an incredible person and has become family to us. She will make you feel less stressed, more confident, and provide you every bit of support. It’s been an absolute blessing to have had Debra to remind us of all the things we needed to do in preparation of the big day. If you are a newly engaged couple, I promise you that the wedding day goes by so fast, and you will need someone to organize/plan it all. Debra made sure we took time that day to enjoy the moment, made us feel peace, control, and remain confident because her team covered it all. Weddings by Debra, you all are incredible people, my wife and I will never forget all you did for us and for making the day perfect. - ❤️ Mr. & Mrs. Volpe

The best in the business!

Debra and her team are amazing - cannot recommend them enough. Debra spent so much time with us and can’t imagine what our wedding would’ve been like without her. She is professional, thoughtful and extremely detailed oriented. She helped us every step of the way and spent countless hours on the phone - never rushing me, which went a long way. Debra is the best!!

Phenomenal!!

My sister in law works in the wedding industry and HIGHLY recommended Debra Thompson to us. Debra was there for us from start to finish...from recommending bridal shops to calling us after our honeymoon to chat and see how it went! When Debra takes on a couple, she is ALL in! You feel as if you are her only couple and have her absolute undivided attention. Debra's attention to detail and logistics is unmatched. While she prioritizes making your fairytale dream wedding come true, she also prioritizes the "boring" details (that maybe you as a bride don't want to think about...but need to) which is what makes that fairytale dream wedding actually become a reality! Debra is patient and flexible while also providing structure, direction, and clarity to the wedding planning process! On a personal level, Debra will become your friend...and your family and friends will LOVE her as much as you do! Debra is caring, committed, reliable, funny and a comfort/joy to be around! After your wedding is over you will miss her! Not only is Debra phenomenal, but her team that she brings the day of the wedding surpassed our expectations! Debra and her team were at our every beck and call, always with a smile on their face. I truly felt like I was a princess for the day! Debra is WONDERFUL at what she does and is an expert at bringing all the pieces together to make your dream wedding come true! Thank you for everything, Debra! We love you!!!

I have had the pleasure to work with Debra for the past 12 years. We have received rave reviews from brides that have engaged her services. She is very professional, organized and keeps everyone on schedule, not always an easy tasks and she does it all in a very calming manner. I highly recommend Debra and her team.
