  Thank goodness for Hitched in the Hood!
  When we started planning our wedding, being a DIY/hands on type of bride I was unsure that we needed a planner, but the venue required one. We chose Hitched in the Hood for our planner and could not have been happier! Turns out, even being so hands on, we definitely needed their help and expertise. Worth every penny. We are so grateful for Debbie and Ashley!
  We started with a questionnaire that let them get to know us as a couple & the type of wedding we were dreaming of. Then we had a phone consult to talk over ideas,budget and vendors. After which, we chose and hired our vendors as a couple. We met Debbie& Ashley for a walk through at the venue a few months before our wedding date. Then again at our rehearsal.
  The team of vendors we had were phenomenal! And as captain of that team, Hitched in the Hood helped keep things running smoothly. The different vendors we chose work so well together and have a great rapport. We love the team that worked magic for our wedding! Very talented and good people.
  We were unsure about how a "month of coordinator" worked with the planning process and were amazed at how much work before the month of Debbie and Ashley helped us with. If we had any issues with choosing vendors and needed help, Hitched was our go to. If we were unsure about anything wedding planning related, Hitched was there. Leading up to the wedding was a lot less stressful knowing we were in good hands. It meant alot to us knowing that the stress to our families would be limited,due to Hitched taking care of us. Everything was so well organized in our wedding workbook, every detail.
  
  Every time we met with Debbie and Ashley we felt like they heard us and were working to make sure that we got to experience our version of a dream wedding.
  Day of the wedding went smoothly! They took care of us and our guests so well! Truly a magical day! Talented and good hearted people at Hitched in the Hood.

  Debbie is an absolute dream to work with! We had a lot of big ideas and she worked hard to make sure they all came to fruition. Our wedding truly couldn't have happened without her ability to get things done. The day of I was relaxed because as little bumps appeared I knew she had everything taken care of.

  Debbie with Hitched in the Hood worked with us to make our wedding perfect at Timberline Lodge, August 2016. We had many of our own ideas for what we wanted our wedding to be and many changed as time went on, but Debbie was there to keep us on track and focused on the things that needed to be done! Once Debbie had a good grasp on our style, she gave us very helpful suggestions for the vendors we had yet to book. She truly took great pride in recommending local vendor that fit our specific style, which ended up making our wedding so very much more special!
  
  Once the vendors were booked, Debbie took over with them, doing a great job keeping in contact and being a good go between with the vendors, Timberline Lodge, and us. We put great trust in Debbie and it was very relieving to have her be the ultimate glue to our wedding. The week before the wedding, Debbie was there checking in with us and making sure that everything got wrapped up. She directed us through the rehearsal, which was very helpful since our friend was marrying us, we weren’t having a traditional procession, and weren’t having segregated bridal party sides during the ceremony.
  
  Essentially Debbie embraced our unique vision, delivered the perfect vendors (including alternative options before we settled), and fostered a great working relationship with us. She is professional, has great rapport with local vendors (which only added to the night’s synergy), and much appreciated direct communication skills.

  I have told anyone that will listen how incredibly helpful Sara was throughout my wedding. I was on a tight budget and told her anywhere I can cut costs, lets do so, and she made it happen. She was very responsive and on top of it all. Anytime I found myself spinning trying to figure out next steps, I would call her and she would get me organized. The day of was perfect! She made sure everything was put together and set up correctly. She kept us to our schedule and during the day of and worked directly with vendors prior to the big day. I highly recommend working with hitched in the hood!

  Debbie and her team are the best!! She helped me with partial wedding planning, month of coordination (timeline, vendors rentals...), and the day of - they took care of everything (a huge job considering we had to change a lot of things last minute due to rain)!! Her services were the best dollars spent on our wedding.

  Responsive, helpful, organized. I especially liked using the rental company associated with Debbie as well as Hitched in the Hood because it made for clear communication with fewer people involved.

  While still in the afterglow of what many guests called an “epic wedding”, I wish to express my appreciation for the fine work of Debbie Dennis and Hitched in the Hood. As the mother of the bride, I experienced a calm and smoothly unfolding morning the day of the wedding. No drama, no panic, no worries – everything happened on time and according to plan. I could be with my daughter and her bridesmaids, savoring the special moments without distraction. When I checked on the caterers, the setup, and the sound system, I saw that everyone knew what to do and all details were managed with expertise. During the ceremony and reception, Debbie and her assistant were quietly in the background taking care of things. I knew all was in good hands and I was able to relax and fully enjoy the wedding day. Comments I heard from guests were all positive -- “It was perfect!” or “Everything was beautiful!” Many people spoke of how warm and welcoming the atmosphere was. I attribute much of the success of the day to the professional planning and advice from Hitched in the Hood, both before and during the wedding. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

  Debbie was very responsive, attentive to detail, and worked well with all my family members (and their opinions!!). She has a wonderful personality, and it provided peace of mind to know that everything was taken care of. Could not be happier with her services!!!

  Debbie was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were planning our wedding in Hood River while living in San Francisco, and I cannot imagine what we would have done with her. Not only did she help us find an amazing caterer (Boda's Kitchen), but she was a huge help with designing and managed to put all of our random decor ideas together and make it look beautiful. She also did some DIY/crafty projects for us at a very reasonable rate. Leading up to the big day, Debbie was always quick to respond to emails and answer any random questions we had, and even set up some phone sessions as well. And the actual day of ran seamlessly thanks to Debbie's organization and professionalism.

  Debbie is outstanding... she was incredibly helpful all the way through my wedding planning process. I felt like I could go to her for any question at anytime and she would go above and beyond. I felt very very lucky to have her coordinating out special day. She was always a pleasure to work with.

  My partner has had a long history in Hood River, OR and while we now live in Seattle, we knew that getting married near Hood River would be important to us. We are two brides and trying to plan a wedding from a distance felt daunting - not to mention the prospect of finding vendors who are LGBTQ friendly. Given our ties to Hood River, we wanted to be sure that we hired local vendors! How did we resolve these challenges? Effortlessly, thanks to Debbie and her team at Hitched in the Hood. Debbie is outstanding! Not only did she help us find local vendors who we felt great working with, but she also helped us design, plan and execute our chic and personalized wedding. We have received multiple comments from family and friends who attended, saying that they were amazed by how both our ceremony and reception reflected us as individuals and as a couple. Debbie skillfully listened to our wishes and desires and often came up with solutions and creative ideas that we would not have come up with on our own. Amazing! I could go on and on about each vendor. It was, by far, a magical day, and everyone in attendance has said it was "the best wedding they've been to" because it reflected the heart and soul of who we are, and how much our guests mean to us. We wanted to do a big wedding to honor the key role our highly supportive friends and family have played in our lives. With Debbie's help, and the help of all our amazing local vendors, we did it! We can't recommend her highly enough. And for those who are interested, she has worked with several gay and lesbian couples in the past, so she is an incredible ally to the community and really listens to each couple's needs. Three cheers and more for Debbie, her husband and the incredible team at Hitched in the Hood and Riverhood Rentals.

  What can I say? Debbie is the best there is. My husband and I had a completely wonderful experience with Hitched in the Hood from beginning to end. Debbie provided great guidance to develop our vision and on the day of helped us capture it in the most incredible way. We were unbelievably happy with how everything turned out. Her ideas are brilliant and she has her own awesome, unique, and beautiful aesthetic, and she really helps you channel who you are as people and what you want your wedding to be. She is so dedicated, and throughout the planning I kept wondering how she found time to think of us so much. She was always sending questions, ideas and photos that were a huge help. And what's so great is that Debbie not only is super creative and artistic, she is an organizing genius and keeps you on your toes, thinks of all the details and vendor questions, and makes sure things happen how and when they are supposed to. Our wedding was nearly 45 minutes ahead of schedule by the time we got to photos! It was crazy. I cannot say enough good things. Debbie is brilliant and possesses everything a couple is looking for. Plus, she is a super cool and very kind person. I would love to answer any specific questions a bride or couple may have. Cheers!

  Debbie is one word is AMAZING! We had a destination wedding and I knew I couldn’t do it on my own. We started corresponding, and almost immediately I knew she was the right fit. She herself had a destination wedding so she understood exactly what I needed to make it happen without a hitch!
  
  I was able to trust her completely as her ideas were exactly what I’d envisioned.
  Debbie is extremely organized, with great attention to detail. She recommended an amazing group of vendors. Each and every one on them went above and beyond my expectations. Debbie turned my pintrest board into such a magical day! 10 times better than what I could have ever imagined.
  
  Debbie a force to be reckoned with! She has several shabby chic decorations in her bag. She also has a rental company so she’s a one stop shop. If your anything like me, when I’m comfortable with someone, I’d prefer to deal with one person. She is it. She really took care of me. She threw in so many extras to ensure my day was beautiful. Debbie is professional, organized, with great communication skills.
  
  Our guests were so thankful for having such a beautiful wedding out of state. It was all due to Debbie! Our collaboration turned into such a memorable wedding day. Several wedding guest told us “it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to” “The food was to die for” the list goes on.. and on. Debbie is highly recommended. I truly feel I’ve walked away with a friend for life.

  Simply put, Debbie with Hitched in the Hood is amazing! She kept us organized (and sane!) in the months leading up to our wedding, and ensured that everything was perfect on the day of.
  
  Within minutes of first meeting her we felt like we had known Deb for years. She was outgoing, down-to-earth, and was genuinely interested in getting to know us. As we took her through the inspiration board we had created, she became as excited as we were about it. The little details were hugely important to us, as we knew they would make our day unique and highly personal. Deb totally got that. We walked away from that meeting knowing, without a doubt, that she would be the perfect planner and event designer to help us achieve our vision.
  
  Debbie went above and beyond in every aspect. She was extremely organized and attentive to detail. She helped us find our other vendors, who were all as equally incredible. She consistently sent us ideas, or added them to the Pinterest board she had created for us. We took on a lot of DIY projects and not only were many of them her ideas, but she actually created some of them for us. She even helped us write our ceremony! Deb truly made our months of planning so much fun and gave us real peace-of-mind through it all.
  
  To say that she helped us achieve our vision and made our day perfect is an understatement. Deb was at the venue bright and early to bring months of planning and creating to life. As we sat getting our hair and make-up done, we watched her work her magic on the grounds below. At one point we turned to each other and acknowledged how lucky we were to have found Deb. As stressful as her role was that day, she stayed calm and collected through it all. Not only did everything look just as we envisioned, but she ensured that we didn’t have anything distracting us from enjoying every moment of the day.
  
  It’s now months after our wedding (this review is long overdue!) and our friends and family are STILL talking about how incredible the day was, many saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The compliments all had a similar theme – that all our details made it feel so memorable, personal and uniquely “us”. We couldn’t ask for better compliments, and more importantly, couldn’t imagine having better memories of the day. And we have Deb to thank for all of that.
  
  We don’t know how many couples can say that they came out of their wedding planning process with a new friend, but we certainly can! Deb is way more than the gal who planned our wedding, she is now an amazing friend.
  
  We couldn’t recommend Deb more highly. If you are looking for a wedding planner and/or event designer who will make you feel like her only client, one that will be excited to help you create a unique experience, and one that will make sure everything is executed beautifully - don’t think twice about contacting Debbie with Hitched in the Hood!

  Simply put, Debbie with Hitched in the Hood is amazing! She kept us organized (and sane!) in the months leading up to our wedding, and ensured that everything was perfect on the day of.
  
  Within minutes of first meeting her we felt like we had known Deb for years. She was outgoing, down-to-earth, and was genuinely interested in getting to know us. As we took her through the inspiration board we had created, she became as excited as we were about it. The little details were hugely important to us, as we knew they would make our day unique and highly personal. Deb totally got that. We walked away from that meeting knowing, without a doubt, that she would be the perfect planner and event designer to help us achieve our vision.
  
  Debbie went above and beyond in every aspect. She was extremely organized and attentive to detail. She helped us find our other vendors, who were all as equally incredible. She consistently sent us ideas, or added them to the Pinterest board she had created for us. We took on a lot of DIY projects and not only were many of them her ideas, but she actually created some of them for us. She even helped us write our ceremony!

  Debbie was terrific to work with from beginning to end. We are an older couple who were married before. We started out wanting a very small and casual wedding without too many frills. We originally hired Debbie just to help us coordinate the vendors the month before and orchestrate and take care of everything on our wedding day. We thought we could find vendors and make decisions on cake, flowers,music, etc all on our own. It was far more complicated and time consuming than we thought. Our guest list grew larger and as it did the wedding took on a life of it's own. Before long, I felt overwhelmed by the whole process, and couldn't "see" how it was all coming together. Debbie was available to answer questions, make recommendations, and put me at ease. She made recommendations for vendors and offered ideas to make things more fun and unique. She created a vision board with a "French Country" theme for the wedding, and that brought the whole thing together for us. It helped me to relax about the decisions I had to make because I could "see" the wedding I wanted. She thought of every detail. People commented on how beautiful everything was and how the decorations and flowers set a relaxed yet elegant mood the moment they walked in. Many guests mentioned it was one of the most beautiful, enjoyable, and fun weddings they have ever been to. We have to give Debbie props for her hard work and attention to detail, and her enthusiasm and creativity. She is a delightful person to work with! We highly recommend her!

  Hands down the best coordinator in the Hood River area. Debbie is super organized and on top of everything. She had great vendor recommendations and she spent as much time with me as was needed to get details hammered out. Even though I only did the "month of" package, I felt like I had hired a full time coordinator. She worked with me on my vision for my wedding day and offered suggestions and a professional opinion when they were needed. Everything went smoothly and it was gorgouse!!

  Hitched in the Hood is perfect for those looking for a little help, especially if you are not from the Hood River area. We were very impressed with the last minute advice and attention to detail.

  Debbie was a pleasure to work with! Getting married in Oregon was a destination event for us, and Debbie's local expertise and vendor recommendations were very helpful. We were especially grateful for her coordination in the weeks leading up to the wedding, when she jumped in to manage final plans with vendors. Throughout the process, she was warm and professional. On the day itself, we felt we were in such good hands, even as we had to make of-the-moment plans due to the fickle Pac NW weather. We couldn't have done it without her!

  When my husband and I initially began planning our wedding we were not planning on hiring a wedding coordinator as we were trying to work with a small budget. However, three months before our wedding the venue we were planning on was forced to cancel all their weddings. This set us back quite a bit, so we met with Debbie to see if she might be able to help us get back on track. Upon meeting her, we knew we wanted to enlist her services, and we are so glad we did!
  
  Debbie is full of great ideas for weddings, has a nice vision and a very easy to get along with personality. We knew that with her behind us we wouldn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day. She turned our blank space into a beautiful wedding backdrop and ensured things kept flowing as the night went on. And when the party was over she stayed to clean it up while we continued to enjoy our evening.
  
  We couldn't have imagined our wedding without Debbie, and I highly recommend her for her wedding and party planning services

  Overall we were very happy with the wedding that Debbie and Sara (who was also our day-of-coordinator) put together for us. Their eye for design is lovely, and they achieved exactly the right look we were hoping for (which was one that was a little rustic, a little elegant, and in keeping with the natural beauty of the Columbia Gorge that we were surrounded by). Everything went smoothly the day of, and Sara did a great job of keeping us on schedule and coordinating all our vendors. The planning process was also fairly smooth though there was sometimes a short lag in email responses back and sometimes an overlook in answering a particular question, though these occurrences decreased as we got closer to the actual wedding date. We sometimes got the feeling that we were more minimalist than they were in terms of the amount of *stuff* we needed but as long as we communicated our vision, they made it happen. We are very thankful to them for putting together a memorable, beautiful day for us!
