    Above expectations

    I can not express how satisfied we all were with Dolyn Designs. She was very attentive to our requests. My niece has what she wanted in mind and Dolyn Designs made it into a reality. Thanks for making her special day a day to remember.

    Gwen is awesome!

    I'm a photographer who's captured a lot of Gwen's pieces and her attention to detail is amazing. The flowers are always breathtaking and fresh.

    Exhibition Booth Design

    I had hte opportunity to work with Dolyn Designs to curate an upscale booth for my business. As a food business, it was important for me to have an experience that stood out. I shared my vision with Gwendolyn and it was executed very well. Dolyn Designs was a joy to work with!

    Elegant, Efficient and Exquisite

    I highly recommend Gwen Thomas and Dolyn Designs for any event where beautiful florals, linens and decorations are desired. Gwen has the ability to transform basic rooms into beautiful exquisite spaces. She is professional and talented in every sense of the word.
    Her team worked miracles and paid special attention to every detail requested by my clients to make theirs a Dream Day Wedding. From the bridal bouquets and boutineers to the wedding and reception linens, centerpieces and decor, everything was over the top and tastefully done.
    Not only did Dolyn Designs deliver efficiently and on time, they returned after the event in a timely fashion to teardown and take everything away.
    I have used Dolyn Designs for our church's anniversary gala and for a wedding and reception. They are definitely my very first choice for all of my event decoration needs.

    Professional, Great pricing

    Dolyn Designs listened to the vision my daughter had for her wedding. A proposal board was created and in fact exceeded my daughter's vision. The finished product was breathtaking. I would highly recommend Dolyn Designs.

    Couldn’t have been happier

    Ms. Gwen took a blah space and glammed it up beautifully for our daughters 21 st birthday. She took our vision and ran to the finish line with it-even up to changing out the drapes! Including pics of before and after...but the pics don’t do ANY justice. I would use her services over and over.

    Phenomenal

    Friday October 25,2019
    New Hope Baptist Church held our 85th church anniversary celebration at the Pinnacle center. Dolyn Designs did a phenomenal job transforming The Pinnacle Center's Ballroom into an elegant space. We received so many compliments thanks Gwendolyn Thomas, CEO and founder of Dolyn Designs for making NHBC Anniversary Celebration an unforgettable occasion.

    Gwen was wonderful to work with. She put me at ease after our first consultation; Gwen took care of every detail--zero stress. The flowers, bouquet, table decor were even more beautiful than imagined. I highly recommend Dolyn Designs.

    Highly Recommend for your Wedding Dream!

    Gwen is such a great person to work with from the start. The feeling is like working with a friend who really cares to make your big day special. The quoting process gave me a lot of control to decide what I liked and how much I could afford, and the set up on our day turned out so beautifully for the cost. Gwen is vey fair and willing to work with any budget, and was able to deliver more than what I even expected with her creativity and passion. The pictures do no justice to how beautiful it turned out. She was able to execute a unique runner set up I found on Pinterest just as I saw in the picture. I was particularly impressed with how beautiful our entry and head table were set up. She had some suggestions for things that weren’t in my original vision and wasn’t sure of how they would turn out (candelabras) but I am SO GLAD she did! They turned out beautifully and really completed the look and complemented the flowers cascading across our head table. Gwen is a professional from set up to tear down, even helping to place some wedding cake flowers for us last minute. If I could go back and spend the money, I would have hired her to also do my ceremony. I’m so glad to have met her and thankful for the beautiful space where we got to celebrate. Thank you Dolan Designs!!!

    Totally Worth It

    My experience from start to finish with Gwendolyn was wonderful! She was extremely responsive on Facebook. She kindly gave me a reality check with my wine taste on a beer budget. And she took me out for coffee to showcase just a sample of what she could bring to the table. It was stunned and I instantly rearranged my budget. She followed up in the time in between and she even surprised me with a little something (I’ll suggest you book her to see what it is!). She came with me to my reception and did a sample with my family and my mother burst into tears. I knew for sure I was in good hands. When the day arrived I was stunned! The room was already beautiful, but her decorations took it over the top! I felt like I was in a fairytale. At the end of the day, I have her the biggest hug, and I even added her on Facebook. Such a sweet lady with an eye for detail. So many pictures will be taken at your reception and ceremony, make sure you add the extra glam to make your day even that more special and memorable! I’ve included a couple of photos, but they do no justice to how breathtaking everything was.

    The Perfect Mix of Professionalism and Service

    Gwen, the owner of Dolyn's Designs, is absolutely phenomenal She recently did the desert and gift tables at my baby shower. Not only way the work impeccable and customized to fit my theme, but it was also completed quickly and professionally. Gwen was so knowledgeable about event design that when she notices something missing from our event she provided expertise and a solution we didn't know we needed! I'm so glad that we chose Dolyn's Designs the team brought our vision to life and helped make our event memorable for the rest of our lives.

    Beyond Expectations!

    Dolyn Designs was recommended by a friend and Gwendolyn stepped right in and began planning the design immediately. She was always super responsive to our emails, calls, and questions and always made me feel like I was number one as the bride! Her staff was also very helpful and super nice. Overall I was very happy with her services and I’d recommend Gwendolyn in a heart beat.

But She really exceeded our expectations and we would love to take your services for our future events as well. I have already recommended your name to my friends. Thanks for your help once again :)

    Dolyn Designs created the artistic vision for the decor to help me celebrate my 40th birthday party. What Gwen and her team did was nothing short of breathtaking and amazing! I have had friends compare my gathering to Oprah's soirees and it was all because of Gwen. She transformed the space to such a degree that the venue staff took pictures to post on their website. I highly recommend Gwen! She is gifted at what she does and her excellence and customer care are unparalleled!!

    Gwendolyn's work speaks for itself. Everything she does is in excellence. I've worked with her on two events and each one was exceptionally executed. The room and table decor looked amazing on both occasions. I will definitely hire her again in the future, and I recommend her to anyone looking for someone with a creative eye but who is also affordable, professional and timely. Thank you Dolyn Designs.

    Gwendolyn took our suggestions, offered her own advice and the end result was great.

    Gwendolyn was very easy to work with. I contacted her fairly late and she was willing to help me conceptualize a great decorating look for the wedding- I had to do some legwork of course. She was very responsive and even proposed edits to the plan when she tested the setup and she thought something did not look quite right. My only feedback would be that she also test the lit version of he setup as the candleabras were not flattering-could barely tell the candles were lit. I am very happy with Gwendolyn and I would recommend her to anyone! I was out of town when I was doing my planning and working with Gwendolyn was low stress. She is reasonably priced.
