I hired Debra Thompson in March of 2023 for wedding planning and consultation services in preparation for my May 3, 2024 wedding. My now-husband and I were living overseas when we got engaged and for the first half of our engagement. I am pretty organized and was committed to doing some of the planning myself, but needed someone to keep me on track so that I knew what I needed to focus on next, and provide a list of recommended vendors since I am not originally from the Westchester area. Debra did all of that and so much more, remaining extremely professional at all times. She gave me lists of tasks to work on throughout each step of the planning process, and was always respectfully candid when I asked for feedback on decisions I was trying to make, whether it was which particular vendor I should hire, invitation wording, logistics (and I had SO MANY logistical questions!) or whatever else. Debra could always tell when I was getting overwhelmed and knew when she needed to step in a bit more. Whenever I reached out, she always got back to me in a matter of days—sometimes even quicker—despite all the other events she was helping to plan. If she hadn’t heard from me in a while, she’d send me an email to check in which reminded me to get moving. I knew from the first time I spoke to Debra that I needed to work with her to help plan my wedding and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. She truly knows her stuff. All of our vendors were from her recommended list of vendors, all of which were top of line. Our wedding went off without a hitch—we were told by so many of our guests that ours was one of the best weddings they had ever gone to, and they meant it. I know that all of Debra’s guidance played a large part in that. Her feedback was invaluable. So if you are looking for a wedding planner, whether it’s full wedding planning, or more of a consultant role like I chose, look no further—Debra is your girl!

Working with Debra Thompson and her exceptional team for our wedding was an absolute dream come true. Debra not only excels professionally but is also an incredible person. The entire wedding planning process, guided by her expertise, was a joy from start to finish. Debra made us feel like family, offering unwavering support throughout. On the big day, everything felt like a dream - every detail was meticulously handled. Even when I had a thought, Debra and her producers were already on top of it. We are grateful for an outstanding experience. Thank you for making our day amazing!!

We had attended a wedding produced by Debra in 2016 and it went off without a hitch. 7 years later, we contacted her for our wedding and she did not disappoint. We hired her and her team for the Oceana Rose package and it was worth every penny. Debra seamlessly navigated us through the ins and outs of planning our big day -- no detail was forgotten. She helped us stay on track in terms of timelines, and gave us great insights for vendors, packages, pricing, and nuances we did not consider. When our wedding weekend arrived, her value was immeasurable. She helped coordinate families, transportation, and logistics in the background so we could embrace the magic of the moment and truly enjoy our wedding day. Notably, her team handled hiccups behind the scenes without us even noticing! Cannot recommend Debra and her team enough -- wish we could give her more stars! -Alex & Siân
