Janessa Sent on 11/03/2025She Turned A Nightmare Into Our Dream Wedding
Dee and her amazing team are truly unmatched. Dee’s exceptional expertise, unique skill set, and extensive network transformed what could have been a nightmare into the wedding we had always dreamed of.
I spent months researching wedding planners across multiple platforms, but unfortunately, I initially signed a contract with someone who was unable to fulfill her responsibilities. With just two months to go before our wedding, none of the details had been finalized, and I still hadn’t received any quotes from my planner for essential design vendors, including florals, rentals, and draping. I ended up terminating that contract and frantically posted on all the SoCal wedding forums looking for a new planner. Within 30 minutes, I was on the phone with Dee on a Friday evening, figuring out the next steps.
Long story short, Dee literally saved us. She made our Nigerian-American wedding the best day of our lives. She was always available for communication, even on her birthday. Being out of state, I needed someone I could fully trust, and Dee went above and beyond in every way. She provided a sense of relief in the months leading up to the wedding and was my calming presence on the big day. Every vendor she recommended was exceptional.
Dee’s team also helped create all the graphics, monograms, programs, menus, itineraries, and printed materials. Her additional team members on the wedding day were phenomenal. Dianna was by my side throughout the day, helping with anything I needed—from holding my bouquet to keeping the timeline on track.
Dee navigated all the cultural aspects of our wedding with care and understanding, ensuring that every tradition was honored beautifully. She brought our completely off-track planning back on course and expertly managed all vendors. Dee truly is the glue that holds everything together. Her recommendation to use parasol umbrellas for shade during our outdoor photos on a bright, sunny Californian day made all the difference. She also proactively removed our card box after guests arrived to prevent any risk of theft, demonstrating remarkable attention to detail and foresight.
There are countless other little things I could mention to exemplify how amazing Dee is at what she does. But what stands out most is who she is as a person and how she treats everyone around her. During those two months of planning, Dee made me feel like family—not just another bride on her list. Thank you, Dee and team, for your undivided time, attention, and care, which made our wedding day a truly magical experience that we will forever cherish.

Gretta Sent on 12/30/2024Unforgettable Memories Made Easy, Thanks to Dee Lee Designs
It's almost been a year since my wedding day, but yet, people are still talking about it. How my wedding was very organized and very memorable. It had to be the work of my wedding organizer, Dee Lee.
I found Dee through her Yelp reviews. I then stumbled upon her website and answered her questionnaires and luckily for me, she responded to me quickly. She called me and she was extremely personable from the beginning. I can tell by her voice that she has passion for what she does, and I'm not just another client. Dee was very professional in organizing my wedding. Starting from the pre-ceremony to the wedding reception. She knew what I wanted and what I envisioned without me having to express it. I didn’t lift any finger because she understood what I needed. Her attention to details was perfect.
At times, I had to bring my family, friends with me. She was very respectful, calm and very family oriented which she prepared time to get to know my closest family and my husband’s family members.
I could rest assured that things will be done on time, and I didn’t have to worry. The things I was anxious about, she's already steps ahead of me and taken care of it.
In addition, I admired about Dee and her team is that they have an extremely good relationship with the vendors. She knew
a lot of vendors and has a solid foundation and positive rapport with them. I could tell that her networking was incredible.
Dee would work with my budget, and I did not have to feel reluctant to talk about anything. She would take time and explore my needs and there was always a way out to solve my problems, needs or my hesitations.
All and all, during my wedding preparations and on my big wedding day, I never doubted Dee or her team, or questioned her about the preparations progress, considering my high level of anxiety. She just had the job done nicely and perfectly that the wedding program flow was very smooth. Thank you, Dee Lee Designs and team. I appreciate you. -

Steven Sent on 12/30/2024The absolute best vendor choice for our wedding
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner than Dee from the moment we reached out to her, we knew we were in great hands. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Dee and her team made everything so much easier.
Communication was seamless from start to finish. She was available to answer questions, offered expert advice, and never made us feel like we were bothering her (even with last-minute changes!). We loved how organized she was, which gave us confidence every step of the way.
What really stood out was how Dee helped us bring our dream wedding vision to life. We had a pretty unique theme in mind, and Dee took it and ran with it—suggesting creative ideas we never would’ve thought of ourselves. She was always on top of things, managing our budget and coordinating with all the vendors to ensure everything was perfect.
On the big day, Dee and her team kept everything running smoothly. From handling unexpected changes to making sure every little detail was in place, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even made sure we had time to enjoy the moment, which was so appreciated!
We can’t recommend Dee Lee enough. She truly went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, creative, and kind, Dee is the one!
Thank you Dee and your wonderful team. -

Dana Sent on 12/20/2024Dee and her team are the dream team!!
Dee and her team are absolutely wonderful - I am so thankful that we found her and had her with us throughout the entire wedding planning process and on our wedding day. Her knowledge and expertise of planning and producing a beautiful wedding, along with her caring and empathetic personality really made what would usually be a stressful and daunting process, fun and easy to navigate.
When my husband and I first met Dee, she listened closely to what we wanted and helped us form a vision since we both hadn’t done much research and only knew that we wanted to have a coastal wedding. In a matter of minutes she already had ideas and started really getting to know who we were as a couple and brainstorming ideas on how to incorporate little moments from our story into the wedding. Not only that, she was extremely respectful of our budget and never pushed us towards spending more for the sake of spending more. Dee always found ways to maximize every dollar we spent and it felt so great to know that we had a planner who was really advocating for us every step of the way.
In the year and a half leading up to the wedding, Dee was incredibly patient and answered all of our questions, helping us learn about the wedding planning process so we could make educated decisions and finding vendors for us. Since we live in New York and realistically were unable to constantly fly back for wedding related tasks, having a planner with such strong relationships with our vendors made us feel so much more confident going into the day. We even booked our venue without touring it because Dee had such great relationships with the venue! For over a year, Dee was always readily available and communicated quickly - we always felt as though we were heard and were truly understood as we planned all the details of the wedding.
On the wedding day, Dee and her team were with us every step of the way. People always say wedding days can get really chaotic, but Dee and her team were working tirelessly to make sure that everything was seamless. Our families and friends all had a wonderful experience and had a blast at our wedding, while my husband and I were able to be fully present on our wedding day without worrying about anything. We truly went through our wedding day with the biggest smiles on our faces, fully focused on us and it was all thanks to Dee and her team. There have been very few times (if any at all) where I felt fully present in the moment for an entire day, and it really meant the world to me personally to have our wedding be one of those days. Even after the wedding, we’ve been fortunate to call Dee and our wedding vendors our friends because of how amazing everyone’s energy was on our wedding day.
I’m incredibly grateful and appreciative to have gotten a chance to work with someone like Dee and her team who were so wholeheartedly invested into our wedding as we were in bringing it to life. We truly cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done for us and are also so happy to have gained a wonderful friend throughout this entire process as well. -

Jennifer Sent on 12/18/2024Amazing Wedding Planner
From the moment we met Dee, we knew we were in for something extraordinary. Planning a wedding at a five-star hotel with extravagant florals and attention to every detail, Dee took our vision and turned it into a reality that far exceeded our expectations.
Dee went above and beyond for our floral arrangements and it was truly a work of art. She transformed our entire venue into a dreamscape. Every guest was stunned by the decor and we couldn't have been happier with the overall aesthetic.
Dee and her team worked seamlessly with our venue and vendors to ensure every detail was handled with precision. On Wedding Day, her team was immaculate in their execution from logistics to timing where everyone in our party and family didn’t have to lift a finger. They really took care of EVERYTHING!
Dee is worth the investment! She was with us every step of the way during the planning process and provided valuable insight and guidance. Whenever I had any doubts or uncertainty, Dee was always a text or phone call away and provided reassurance and helped me trust the process. I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and caring planner. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful and takes the time to truly get to know you. She went above and beyond for us. We cannot thank Dee enough for her amazing work! -

Leeann Sent on 11/23/2024Fairytale wedding in Cabo Mexico with Dee Lee Designs
We reached out to Dee a year and a half ahead of out intended wedding date, only knowing that we wanted a destination wedding. We did not have a clear vision in our minds of what we wanted our wedding to be except good food, vibes, incorporating our Chinese/Vietnamese culture, and memorable moments within our budget.
With Dee living in California and my husband and I living in NY, we made it work to meet in each other’s respective states a few times.
Dee was able to guide us to create an event that our guests still talk about to this day. I.E, we had fireworks at our wedding in Cabo! Even when some pieces did not seem to fit, we joked Dee is like a fairy godmother. She was able to deliver and frequently exceeded our expectations. She always made sure the numbers made sense and was not afraid to DIY if it meant getting us what we wanted for our esthetic or experience. There were times when as a bride, you may feel frustrated or impatient, however, you have to 100% trust Dee that everything is going to work out (likely better than expected). Her vision is what helps bring all the big moving parts together. Her experience, connections, and grit help pull these memorable events together.
Choosing the “Dee Lee experience” was one of the best choices we’ve made so far as a couple. If we were to do it all over again, choosing Dee as our planner is a no brainer. She understood us as a couple and treated us like family. We love you Dee!

Jamie Sent on 08/26/2024Dream Destination Wedding
We met Dee through a recommendation from a good friend who had a beautiful wedding in LA. She took the time to get to know us and understand our vision and budget. She gave us a list of venues based on what we asked and we narrowed down on a venue where she could really utilize her network and resources.
Wedding planning can be very stressful but Dee was there with us every step of the way even when unexpected complications were happening. Dee and her team were transparent and supportive and we gave them our full trust for making our destination wedding dream come true!
Her exceptional organizational skills and proactive approach meant that everything ran smoothly for the wedding weekend. Dee managed every aspect with grace, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration without worrying about logistics. Dee’s personal touches and thoughtful surprises made the day even more special. Her and her team's dedication, enthusiasm, and professionalism were unmatched, turning our wedding into a truly memorable event for us and our guests. We are incredibly grateful for Dee’s exceptional work and highly recommend her to anyone seeking an unforgettable and personalized wedding experience! -

Josephine Sent on 09/17/2023Dee Lee Designs - The Best of the Best!
We could probably write a novel on our experience with Dee, but we’ll try to keep it “short”. We got engaged in December 2022 and were a bit lost when it came to planning our wedding. My now husband, Joseph, wanted to get married in the latter half of 2023, which gave us less than a year to plan and with the amount of information there was on the internet about weddings and timelines, I was overwhelmed. After extensive research on wedding planners, we found Dee and reached out to her. Prior to our first meeting with Dee, we were very positive given the reviews, but once we talked with her and went into detail on our planning process, our confidence shot through the roof.
After dreaming about my wedding since I was a little girl, you would think I had more of an idea of what I envisioned, but I realized I actually had no clue. Dee spent so much time getting to know us as a couple, our vision (even though we didn’t quite have one initially), budget, our preferences, and more in order to curate what became one of the best days of our lives. By being so engaged with us, Dee became like family and the whole process was so enjoyable. In addition to wedding-related things, we would frequently discuss family, faith, stories from our past, the future, and so much more. One specific example I remember so clearly was regarding florals. Since I had no idea what florals I even liked, she showed me multiple examples, designs, and themes that I might have liked and one in particular stood out. Without even saying anything, Dee said my eyes lit up to the one that caught my eye and that just shows the magic touch she has in being able to curate a love story for who you are as a person and together as a couple.
Another thing we’d like to speak on are our vendors. All of our vendors were recommended by Dee or have previously worked with her. During our initial meetings, whether it was for a makeup trial, vision board set-up, etc, they all asked how we found them. Once we mentioned Dee, every single one of them started with, “OMG I love Dee so much” or “Dee and her team are amazing” or something along those lines. That spoke to us in volumes because we believe that people are reflections of the company they keep and it became clearer over time to see how and why Dee is the best of the best. We loved every single vendor and created a wonderful foundation and friendship with them all. We didn’t expect to build these types of relationships, but by doing so, we had a wedding day that far exceeded any expectations. During our wedding day, we were fortunate enough to work with Dee’s wonderful team members: Judy, Savannah, and Carolina. We definitely knew they put out hundreds of fires behind the scenes that we weren’t aware of, but that’s why they are so amazing - because they didn’t want us to be aware of the fires so that we could fully enjoy our day. Judy was the main coordinator for our rehearsal and wedding day and she always checked with us to ensure we were comfortable with something and went above and beyond during the day of the wedding. We always told my family and friends that Dee and her team are like fairy godmothers and it’s true because our family fell in love with them. We can’t even tell you how many positive comments of adoration and respect we received from wedding guests towards them, but it was a lot (that might end up being a second novel lol).
Lastly, we’d like to speak about Dee’s character. To say that Dee is a blessing is an understatement. Words cannot truly describe how grateful we are for her and her team. It has been our pleasure and absolute honor to work with Dee and I pray that we continue to cross paths throughout life. As I mentioned before, we discussed various topics outside of wedding planning, which showed Dee’s character as a friend, educator, family woman, businesswoman, and SO much more. I could also list all the great characteristics about her such as punctuality, professionalism, kindness, communication, dependability, but again, that could be a novel. As we kept in touch throughout the months leading up to the wedding, it was so inspiring to see DeeLeeDesigns continuously grow every week from partnerships, destination weddings, Disney weddings, and well-deserved awards and recognition. She inspired us individually and as a couple and taught us so much about life in general. I know they will continue to soar and we will be right there cheering them on in anything and everything they do. Since we became like family and admired Dee with everything she did for us, it was mandatory that our photo shot list included a picture with Dee, her team, and the vendors (see photos). Dee also did a room reveal with us for the reception and we were absolutely blown away when we opened our eyes; it was more than we ever thought possible. Dee, Joseph and I love you very much and will forever be thankful that it was in God’s plans for our paths to cross. Thank you for creating an absolute perfect day with all the pieces falling into place.
Just like someone finds “the one” in a life partner, we believe that’s how it is for finding a wedding planner too. Trust us, Dee is THE ONE. -

Reinardus Sent on 06/26/2023Dee Lee Designs - Pure Awesomeness!
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Dee Lee Designs for our wedding, and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible the experience was. Dee Lee and her team exceeded our expectations. Her friendly demeanor and attention to detail truly made our wedding planning journey a breeze.
Dee Lee is a true friend when it comes to wedding planning. From our initial meeting, she warmly welcomed us and was willing to listen to our vision. Her friendliness and positive energy immediately put us at ease, turning the sometimes-stressful planning process into a joyful celebration.
Dee Lee isn't just about good vibes—she's also a master of the timeline! She kept everything on track, ensuring that no flower wilted or guest wandered off into the sunset. Her organizational skills made us feel at ease during the planning stages and on our wedding day.
Lastly, with her extensive network and experience, Dee Lee was able to negotiate pricing with vendors to ensure we got the most out of our budget.
We 100% recommend Dee Lee Designs without hesitation!

Christina Sent on 05/11/2023Fairy Tale Wedding Come True
I recently had the pleasure of working with Dee, who is an outstanding wedding planner and person. From the start, her communication and dependability exceeded my expectations. She was always prompt in responding to my questions, addressing any concerns I had, and providing insightful guidance. She was not afraid to give you her true opinion in a respectful way, which showed me her expertise in the industry as well as true care she had for me as a client. She was dedicated to understanding my vision and turning it into reality was evident in every conversation we had. (Even if I thought what I was wanting was a big ask!) With Dee’s work and her connections to amazing vendors, my wedding was TRULY a dream come true and fairy tale wedding.
I think what truly sets Dee apart is her down-to-earth personality. Despite her exceptional talent and expertise, she made me feel truly heard and valued as a client. She was always there to chat even if it wasn’t directly about wedding planning. She was not only my wedding planner, but also a supportive friend throughout the process. She is someone I hope to keep in contact with for a lifetime.
Dependability is another trait that deserves special mention. I never once had to worry about a single detail slipping through the cracks—from the early stages of planning to every single detail on the day of the wedding. There were so many conversations she had with vendors on the back-end that I did not need to worry about knowing that I could trust her 110%. She was always one step ahead. Her reliability gave me, my husband, family, and bridal party the peace of mind, allowing us to fully enjoy the entire wedding planning journey and actual day of event.
Coming to the actual execution of the wedding day: the beauty and elegance of my wedding were beyond words. Every aspect was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. From the breathtaking floral arrangements to the delicious catering, incredible live band, carefully curated lighting, each vendor was handpicked with utmost care and attention to detail. The level of craftsmanship and professionalism exhibited by these vendors was a testament to the strong relationships they have with Dee. There is so much that could not have come to life if it wasn’t for her.
On my wedding day, I was able to fully enjoy every aspect of the celebration. Her team was so experienced and professional. For that, I am forever grateful for. She made my wedding truly an unforgettable night not only for my family, but also my guests.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dee to anyone seeking an unforgettable wedding experience. She is like a fairy-god-mother in the wedding industry! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
THANK YOU, DEE! -

Elizabeth Sent on 01/10/2023One of the Industry's Most Knowledgable and Resourceful
It’s been 2 months since our wedding, and we’re still receiving so much praise from our family and friends for such a magical night! We got engaged in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic and knew we most likely wouldn’t be able to have a wedding celebration anytime soon, so we decided to plan for a 2022 wedding instead. Since we had so much time (2 years!) before the wedding, we thought it’d be possible to plan everything ourselves, but about 4 months in to the planning process, we knew we were in way over our heads! After talking to our wedding venue’s sales manager, we were introduced to Dee. From that moment on, everything just felt so much easier because Dee was there to lead us through every step!
Dee is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful, and she is also very well-connected with some of the wedding industry’s best vendors. From the beginning, Dee asked about our budget and our vision for the wedding, and with those important details in mind, she tried her absolute best to help us choose a selection of vendors that fitted our price range, while not sacrificing quality. Dee also attended a handful of our vendor meetings with us, to ensure that our vision for the wedding was aligned, while also still making sure that we were staying within budget. Over the course of our 2-year planning process, Dee made sure to check in with us periodically to let us know about any industry changes, such as fluctuations in prices, which vendors we need to lock down, changes in COVID-19 safety protocols, and so much more! It was so reassuring knowing that things were being taken care of, even if the wedding wasn’t happening for a while.
2 months before the wedding, the stress really started creeping in, though it was mostly due to a lot of last-minute questions/additions/changes from our families. All of that took so much of both my husband’s and my energy, so it was such a comfort knowing that Dee was helping us in the backend to make sure all of the vendors and details were taken care of. Dee texted or called me at least twice a week leading up to the wedding, and she even scheduled calls after her working hours to help answer the questions that our families had and to offer her suggestions. I don’t think we could’ve gotten through those 2 months without her help!
On the day of the wedding, we truly felt taken care of by Dee and her team. Huge shoutout to Judy and Savannah! They were the absolute best! Prior to actually planning a wedding, we never really thought about all of the logistics that actually need to be taken care of in the backend in order for a wedding day to go smoothly, but after getting married, we definitely understand the sheer amount of pressure and stress that it can be. Imagine worrying about floral deliveries or lighting issues, while also trying to actually take part in the wedding ceremony and remembering your vows or first dance. With Dee and her team coordinating everything on the day of the wedding, we were allowed to truly be present and enjoy all of the festivities with our family and friends! Thank you so much Dee, Judy, Savannah, and the rest of the Dee Lee team for all that you’ve done for us! -

You Would Be Lucky to Book Her
Dee & her team knocked it out the park. I am so happy with the work she's done for me & my husband. When first interviewing with her, she asked a lot of important questions that I never thought about. That gave me the confidence that not only does she deeply care about the result of the work, but also about the experience of my guest and I would have.
Dee is so good at her job. She is responsive and reassured me. She also was willing to call me on her off hours to let me know the progress or reassure me with the questions I had. I made sure to be considerate of her time since I know she's also giving the same excellent service to many other lucky brides.
Dee is heavily connected to the wedding community which gave me more options of choosing talented & trustworthy vendors that can execute my bespoke wedding. When I disagreed with the presented vendors, we would have a discussion of what didn't work and she would come back with a new ones.
What I love about her is that she's not a yes woman. She will tell you her opinion if she thinks it's not going to work. She also kept me within my budget and let you know the estimate cost before you make your decision.
On the day of the wedding, I felt taken care of. While Dee was handling the big boss things, her team took care of my bridal & groom's party. I literally did not have to think and allowed me the space to be present. Her team knew exactly what to do with me and guided me to every scheduled event as if I was a performer. They also made sure to check in on me if I was comfortable, fix my dress or hair, and gave me breaks whenever I needed them.
I am beyond happy with Dee's work and all the vendors she hand picked for me (Two Fourteen Photography, Leta Verbena (florals), the Grey Orange Creative (Lighting & DJ), Seafood World (Chinese Catering), Fete the Venue, and Kate Leung (English & Cantonese MC). When I think back to my wedding, I can't help but to smile about it. The event was full of cheer, love, laughter, and dancing. So many of my guests complimented on how fun and beautiful the wedding was. -

Treats you like family!
I hired Dee 18 months prior to our wedding. It was during a difficult time of the pandemic when Hawaii implemented strict restrictions on gathering. The wedding industry of the island was hurt, and was recovering from the previous year. I contacted local planners and waited days or even weeks to get a reply. I got anxious and decided to search beyond the island. And viola! I found Dee! Dee is so cheerful, easy to talk to, replies on my inquiries asap, assures me that weddings are easy (who says that?) LOL 😅 Dee and her associate visited Hawaii 3 times prior to the wedding. Talk about customer service!!
Fast forward to the day of the wedding. It was romantic and beautiful just as we envisioned! Her team that includes our photographers and videographers were outstanding. They know how to make us relax and pose for the camera. Dee checks on me from time to time to make sure I was doing alright.
We fly Dee’s team to Hawaii because we believe in their work and professionalism. Thank you so much for being there from start to finish, bringing in your own supplies so we can have a unique celebration, and for being very flexible for any last-minute changes. Mahalo nui loa from the bottom of our hearts! A hui hou kakou (until we meet again). 🌸 -

Francesca Sent on 07/13/2022Dee is fantastic
I hired Dee near the beginning of my wedding planning process. I wanted a partner who would listen to all my creative input, help me understand what was practical, what was cost-effective, and what else could be achieved, and then execute our plan. And she definitely did all that and more! Covid was tough to navigate, from contracts to changing city and county mandates, and she was always on top of the information and what venues and vendors were doing. It's her connections throughout the industry that made the difference, of course including finding the best deals and the right vendors for every job. Her honesty and keen eye were crucial to bringing all my ideas to life in an organized and beautiful way. If something came up that I didn't understand or stressed me out, she would calmly explain what was happening and why. The planning process was so much fun, and how could it not be when you're both foodies and have a planning session over noodles and mochi dounts! There were a few little things that went wrong on the wedding day, but that's to be expected with such a huge event, and mine surely was. But one of my top priorities was "guest experience," and all my guests continue to remark on how seamless everything felt and how all the details (that Dee and I spent hours creating and hammering out) made the wedding feel so special and unique to me and my husband. They ate great food, danced to great music, felt taken care of, and therefore think my wedding was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. And it was the most incredible wedding I could ever have asked for. I really truly couldn't have done it without Dee. Her specific knowledge, connections, cultural insight, organization, aesthetic, and communication made the process smooth, fun, exciting, and I wish we could do it all over again. -

Joi C. Sent on 06/27/2022Dee will be one of your best wedding decisions!
I started working with Dee about three months before my destination wedding in Aruba. I was overwhelmed and wanted to work with a wedding planner that had my back, has industry savviness and close network with other vendors, and most importantly, bring my vision to life! Fast forward to now a week married and having time to reflect on our experience, and I can whole heartedly say, I would hire Dee again and again if I could for all my life events!!
She is not only fantastic and passionate at what she does, she truly cares for her bride and groom, and the entire bridal party. She counseled us on what was worth spending, what are creative options to stay within budget, and she worked hard to build a great chemistry with all the other vendors and resort staff on our team.
As soon as we all arrived in Aruba, Dee and Judy were on-call, foot on ground, ready to support me regardless of the ask - whether it was the rehearsal dinner plans, put together welcome bags, last minute re-designs, healing a finger wound, or just checking in to make sure I was breathing, staying calm, and just enjoying myself instead of worrying.
You will love working with Dee and her team. You will be taken care of, and you will laugh, cry, and love every moment! We got our dream wedding because we made one of the best decisions to go wit Dee! -

Dream Wedding
Dee was amazing. She absolutely made my wedding more than I could have ever dreamed of. After working with another coordinator and vendors they decided to cancel on us a couple of months before our destination wedding, leaving us scrambling and stressed. Fortunately for us, Dee came to our rescue and she was a blessing. Every little detail was taken care of and she made everything a breeze. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her work and team.

As an out of state bride, I should have known better that I need a wedding planner before we even look for a wedding venue. I hired Dee after i decided to book skylinks at Long Beach Golf Course based on the pictures I saw online. When I went there in person to check out the venue in person, I was super disappointed and almost cried! The venue was so different from the pictures they presented online. Dee was there with me. She used her network and helped me found a much better looking wedding venue very soon. She understood we lost our deposit from Skylinks wedding venue so she helped us to save as much money as possible. She was there for me along this entire wedding planning journey ever since she was hired! I was having mental breakdowns for multiple times due to stress and she was there to share her life experience to cheer me up. It is so hard to just step back and let someone else plan your wedding. Dee likes to talk about her experience, sometimes she talks a lot. But thats what makes her a wonderful planner. She advices us on every single detail, and when we didn’t take her advise seriously and we ended up with mistakes and regret! I am so lucky that Dee was there to help save the day. If you hire her, you just have to trust her expertise and professionalism. Dee and her assistants were so amazing and supportive on our wedding day. I didn’t have to worry about anything on our big day. Our wedding was very beautiful and so much fun! thanks to Dee and her amazing team! One of our relatives who recently had a wedding commented that Dee is very good. I am not sure how to thank Dee enough for all of her help, advise and mental support! If you are still looking for a wedding planner, look no further,
Dee is the one! -

Elizabeth Sent on 12/23/2018Amazing wedding planner
Dee is such an amazing planner. Her personality and her attitude make her such a joy to be around. From beginning to end she will make your event her priority. She always makes your visions on how you want the event to look at the top of her list, all while still putting her unique spin and amazing touch on it. Her team is amazing and so professional. The connections she has are the best. The best part is that you just mention something your interested in and her response is, "I know someone that can do that for you."
From beginning to end she made sure that we had everything and more for out wedding. She completely surpassed our expectations and we couldn't be happier with the way our event came out with her.
We truly couldn't express more how ecstatic we are that we had Dee by our side to plan our wedding. -
Isabella Sent on 10/11/2018Dee Lee was AMAZING (BEYOND AMAZING!) We could not have done the wedding without her.
We had a dream of having our wedding at Malibu Rocky Oaks (MRO) in August 2018. The venue had so many different restrictions, and we were really trying to keep a tight budget. MRO is one of the most logistically difficult venue in the Southern California area (and probably in the United States)! It's a completely blank canvas which allows for a lot of creativity, but also creates a huge challenge. Additionally, my fiance (now husband) and I were pretty ridiculous. We also had a lot of random things we wanted to execute: a DJ, a musician (Masumi), a caricature artist, a MirrorMe Photobooth, a particular Vietnamese/Chinese banquet style dinner, etc. etc.
Dee worked with us every step of the way! From the very beginning, we clicked with her right away. She is genuine and kind. I felt like she was my family rather than my wedding planner.
We sat down to plan. She gave us suggestions on the design concept: what chairs to get, color schemes, plate set-up, decorations, lighting (the chandeliers are so beautiful!), helped us set up the dessert table, and so many things that I cannot even list. She helped us find our vendors. She also did 2 site walk through at the venue with us so that we can avoid crises on the day of the wedding.
Our wedding was beyond my imagination! It was incredibly beautiful. If I didn't have Dee, I think I might have just made it look like an Asian restaurant with white polyester linens, lame flowers, and no plate settings. She helped us refine our vision and executed it flawlessly, and UNDER BUDGET! She was there from the very beginning to help direct load in and to the end to help with load out.
She really went above and beyond. Book her as your wedding planner ASAP!
Dee, I don't know how you manage to do everything you do/did. Thank you so much for the wedding that little me wished for but couldn't ever have imagined! <3 -

Julia Sent on 09/21/2018Had no idea where to even begin for wedding planning. Dee took charge & in one week booked my venue, all vendors, & found the perf dress. Engaged on NYE, got a June wedding @ Sheraton Hotel SG thanks to D, they weren’t even open yet. She took me to a sample sale & found the PERF dress (brand new NBW) for 1/2 of retail price. All her vendors were so nice & felt like friends. D rec. Porto’s for our cake, the cake was DELICIOUS & beautiful. Dee helped my mom & MOH plan my shower, worked great w/them & got along w/my fam. She knew I loved mermaids & rolled w/it, from the cake & desserts to the decor. She was able to present what I wanted, even though I wasn’t sure what that was yet. But once I saw it I knew it was EXACTLY what I dreamed of. I wanted multicolor florals but was hesitant bc I’d never seen it done before. D encouraged me to go w/it, SO glad that she did. Everyone loved how unique it was. D even offered her services to decorate our Tea Ceremony, ready to set up @my MIL house the night before. Any issues, D took care of w/ease. Forgot champagne glasses: she already had some placed on our sweetheart table (way cuter too). Forgot garter, D cut lace from my bouquet & tied it around my leg. Next morning I worried bout all the stuff I left behind, esp my VEIL! Called D, she already handled it. She gave everything to our fam. If anything else went wrong, idk bc D took care of it all. I am so blessed to have had her along every step.

Lr Sent on 06/05/2018Dee is the go-to planner. Dee made my wedding an impeccably beautiful and memorable experience. Dee did so much more than a planner's job, and I am impressed by her dedication, professionalism and kindness. Thank you very very much for everything Dee.

Stephanie Sent on 01/12/2018I work in the wedding industry so I thought I had a handle on everything, but I was in waaay over my head. Looking back, I can't believe I ever thought I could get by without an event designer/wedding coordinator. Thank goodness we found Dee. She was a LIFESAVER leading up to and on our wedding day. There were so many snags with the venue but Dee handled everything with absolute grace and professionalism and took all the worry off our shoulders. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Not to mention she immediately understood our vision and brought it to life—walking into the venue and seeing exactly what I had hoped for (and more!) was amazing. She has an incredible eye for detail and she never settles for anything less than perfect. I don't know where she gets all that energy and drive (she was at my hotel room door at 5am making sure I was up and ready to go!) but event design and planning is what she was born to do. Thank you, Dee!
