Booking White Dahlia was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning! We booked with them almost two years in advance, and they were so helpful and supportive from day one. Jess, our wedding planner, was absolutely incredible—we truly couldn’t have gotten through the day without her. She’s the kindest person, and you can tell she and her team genuinely love what they do. We also rented decor through White Dahlia, and they brought my vision to life perfectly. I’m truly obsessed with how everything turned out, all thanks to Jess and her amazing team. Thank you so much! -

Kelsey Sent on 10/07/2024The BEST coordinators. Hire them now.
I love White Dahlia so much. They went above and beyond to make sure our decor was perfect and our day went smoothly. They are very detail oriented, organized, and respond to our emails right away, even on days they are out of office! They also did us little favors (like dropping off linens for us or throwing in extra decor) to keep us from spending extra money. I truly felt calm and in safe hands the whole planning process and their help was WELL WORTH the money. I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone. -

We recently had the pleasure of working with Jessica Smith and Courtney from the White Dahlia team for our wedding, and I can’t say enough good things about them. From the moment we started planning, they were the kindest, most professional, and incredibly skilled people we could have asked for.
They took away so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning and execution. Even on the big day, they handled everything seamlessly, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Our wedding day was perfect, and we owe so much of that to Jessica Smith and the team. Our families and wedding party couldn’t stop praising them, and neither can we. I genuinely feel lucky to have worked with them and am actually a bit sad that it’s all over!
If you’re planning a wedding in the area, I highly recommend (demand) that you work with Jessica Smith and the White Dahlia team. Every interaction we had with them was perfection. They have a truly great company, and it shows in everything they do. -

Lizzie Sent on 01/02/2024Engaged? Next Step: Book White Dahlia
White Dahlia was absolutely necessary for our wedding! After the whole planning process and the wedding day Connor and I both agreed if there is one vendor you must have its a coordinator and that coordinator has to be White Dahlia. From booking Jessica and her team were AMAZING and even tho we switched main coordinators about 9 months before the wedding they made sure each and every one of our details and our vision was planned! The month of Jessica contacted each of our vendors to confirm details and she even helped us run our wedding rehearsal. Jessica was better than we could have ever dreamed of! Jessica, Courtney, Brooke, and Kelsey were all so so sweet and kind! They had smiles on their faces all day even while doing such tiring work. As the bride being able to relax and only worry about getting married was an absolute blessing! Their team was so responsive, helpful, professional, and kind. Their team was so on top of everything that I wasn't even worried when I hadn't heard from our venue to discuss details a month out from the wedding. I knew White Dahlia had it covered. And when our photographer told us three days before the wedding that they were only coming with half their team Jessica made sure to get everything worked out. Jessica helped us plan the most perfect day and if anything went away from the plan their team had it under control! White Dahlia is the way to guarantee a stress free wedding day so you can focus on your husband, guests, and having fun and not anything else! -

White Dahlia planned our 150-person wedding in Southwestern Michigan at Tabor Hill Winery. From the start, Jess and team took great care of us to reduce all of our anxieties and put the right plans in place for what turned out to be an amazing day. They laid out timelines, ensuring we were all clear on what decisions we had to make and when. Their local expertise was incredibly helpful -- they were able to recommend vendors ranging from transport to desserts, and even worked with restaurants to help facilitate our rehearsal dinner and after party.
As well, we didn't have a strong vision for the design of our wedding, and the White Dahlia design team helped us shape that vision, sharing examples and helping us determine color scheme, floral, and rental needs.
As the wedding got closer, their team leaned in further, even arranging a housecleaning for our home in Michigan that we were hosting pre-wedding events in.
We'd attribute the fantastic success of our day to their management on the day of the wedding! We were able to concentrate on enjoying our time with each other, friends, and families knowing that the little details were taken care of -- even when things didn't go exactly to plan.
We really enjoyed working with Jess and White Dahlia and would highly recommend them! -

Events Sent on 09/28/2023Amazing Experience!!
We absolutely loved working with Courtney at White Dahlia Events! As a florist traveling two hours to a wedding venue, we felt calm and confident knowing that Courtney's organization and kindness would make the wedding go absolutely perfectly. We would highly recommend using Courtney as your wedding planner and we cannot wait to work with her again! -

Kayla Sent on 11/16/2022White Dahlia truly made our day special
When my husband and I got engaged, I was already feeling overwhelmed and stressed with everything that needed to be done, and growing up in Southwest Michigan, I knew the competition and demand for wedding services is so high, and that everything needed to be figured out logistically and booked as early as possible. I also knew that I had several huge projects coming up at work that would require a lot of extra time, focus, and dedication during the months when planning would be most important. When we booked our vendor, they required a day-of coordinator and recommended White Dahlia. Knowing everything on my plate and seeing that they provided full planning services, we went ahead and hired them as our wedding planners. That was the best decision. Having someone to brainstorm with, narrow down the huge field with trusted vendor recommendations, and reach out and coordinate with those vendors make wedding planning much, much less overwhelming. Every step of the way, they truly took care of everything and celebrated my ideas and my wedding with me; they genuinely cared about my husband and my love story and were eager to support in every way they could. It was also so helpful for me to be able to ask questions or advice; we had a lot of kids at our wedding and they really helped us in figuring out how to keep kids entertained and parents happy with a wedding babysitter and provided some genius tips on how to keep track of the kids after dark, logistics that I wouldn't have even known to consider. The vendors they recommended were a great match, and I had no issues at all with any of them. I felt so well-loved and supported by my coordinator and the entire White Dahlia team, and the design they put together for the wedding day was beyond gorgeous, and I was so happy to have that trusted professional support and not have to pick individual flowers, napkin folds, etc. and worry about whether or not it would all come together. We received so many compliments from our guests on everything from the decor, lounge seating, and vintage glassware (such a big hit!), to "this is the most chill wedding I've ever been to." And it was; we actually got to enjoy our day rather than worry about details, hosting, coordination, etc. We had a fantastic time just enjoying our wedding as the guests of honor; how many brides or grooms get to say that? They even set aside appetizers and cocktails for us so we didn't miss out on any of the things we picked out and were looking forward to. I can't say enough good things, and I am so incredibly happy to have had a team that truly had my back throughout the entire process, and especially the day of. Even though the day would've been great no matter what (we were getting married!) I truly believe I was able to be fully present and enjoy my day so much more due to the hard work and assistance White Dahlia gave through the entire process. Thank you so much to such an incredible team for filling our wedding day with so much happiness. -

Elizabeth Sent on 09/06/2022Absolute wedding must!
Courtney at WD was one of the BEST investments we made for our wedding day. She answered any question I had for over 2 years while I planned. She came to my rehearsal, set up all the decor, and on the day of she handled EVERYTHING. She truly made my wedding day stress-free and I couldn't be more thankful for her and her hard-work. I also rented items from WD that I would never use again (table numbers, card box, easel, etc.). They set it all up and took it all down. 1000/10 recommend! -

Daniel Sent on 09/04/2022A great experience from beginning to end
We used white dahlia for our rentals the day of our wedding and everything was perfect. They have some really unique pieces, and we were able to create an ambiance that was both relaxed and comfortable but still felt elevated. Courtney was a dream to work with and was nothing but eager to help throughout the planning process. The holler back vignette is one of my absolute favorite things that we had at the wedding! -

I don't know where to begin! White dahlia is organized, kind, creative, reliable and just amazing to work with! Looking back I am so grateful that we chose to have them be apart of our special day! It wouldnt have been the same or nearly as smooth without them! They are beyond worth it and I wish I could have the opportunity to work with them again! -

Samantha Sent on 06/06/2022The most amazing team to work with!
We had the best experience working with White Dahlia for both planning and rentals!
Camille was everything I could have asked for in a planner and more! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was as perfect as possible. She was super responsive and always available to answer any questions that I had (and there were a lot!). She also was super creative in helping us find ways to make our day exactly what we wanted it to be!
Everything we rented from them was BEAUTIFUL as well! And they have so much to pick from!
Cannot recommend working with White Dahlia enough! -

Where do I even begin?! White Dahlia is the best wedding vendor out there. I had an initial call with Jess and knew I wanted to work with her and her team in some capacity for our wedding day. We decided to move forward with the Month of Coordination plus rentals and I'm so so so happy we did. Kelsey was so helpful with the rentals and turned our venue into a completely different and magical venue. Jess and Jenna helped during the rehearsal dinner and wedding day and went above and beyond to make sure the day ran seamlessly. Jess is so calm, kind, enthusiastic, and truly wants to make your wedding day so special. There are not enough words to truly thank her and her team for alll of their help to make our wedding day so special. If you're debating on wedding coordination (and even rentals), look no further - White Dahlia Events is the best of the best! Thank you so much for all your help - it was such a pleasure working with this team! -

Dream Team!
These girls are the DREAM TEAM!!! I hired them as a wedding gift to myself and omggg am I glad I made that decision. These girls did everything as promised and them some. They held my hand through postponing due to covid, they replied to everyone one of my (semi-over-the-top) emails, they rolled with every last minute change, they made my vision come to life, they cleaned everything up at the end of the night AND packed out car for us!!! I seriously 1000% believe that we would have had a completely different wedding if it weren't for the White Dahlia girls. Forever grateful for them and would highly recommend them to anyone! P.S. Their rental selection is superb!!! Kelsey has fantastic vision! Renting our signature drink glasses was one of our favorite parts of the wedding! -

Not wanting our families and guests to do anything but enjoy our special day with us, we decided that hiring a Day of Coordinator was what we needed. Jen and her team from White Dahlia made our wedding day and the weeks leading up to it run seamlessly (at least as far as I, the bride, know). Any hiccups that may have occurred, if there were any, were handled without my involvement being needed at all, leaving me and my husband to enjoy or day with our guests.
Having been laid-off for a while due to COVID shutdowns, I had lots of time to put together my vision for our wedding. White Dahlia took that vision and executed it more perfectly than I could have imagined!
When I was having an issue with vendor responsiveness with another vendor, Jen stepped in to help. They also took care of returning our rental vases to our florist the morning after our wedding so that my husband and I could just sleep in and not have to worry about anything.
White Dahlia went above and beyond what I ever expected of them! Even if you’ve got your vision and vendors figured out, I highly recommend White Dahlia to help everything to run smoothly and allow you and your guests to do nothing but enjoy your special day!

Caitlin Sent on 09/29/2020Everyone needs a wedding planner/coordinator!
To be honest me & my husband had no idea what getting a month of coordinator would be like lol. I was one of my first friends married, but we decided to go for it and needed the extra help with our crazy schedules. And little did we know how much help it would be! Their team was AMAZING :) I talked to everyone on their team and worked directly with Jen, she was so sweet and amazing to work with. They helped take over the month before our wedding and confirm with all our vendors on times everyone needed to get there, layouts, making sure everyone was on the same page, set up, rehearsal practice etc. I also rented a few items from them (candles, sign holders, custom signs, and a sitting area). It was beautiful! I love all the rental options and they did an amazing job at communicating with us and answering any questions. They also helped pack up the car/bus at the end of the day which was SO helpful. Thank you guys so much -

Such an amazing experience renting through White Dahlia. Their inventory options and pricing are fantastic, and we rented so many items that truly set the tone for the day. They handled set up and tear down completely, and they were so responsive and supportive the entire time. Highly recommend! -

Katie Sent on 08/06/2020Best Decision I Made for my Wedding!
I had an amazing experience with White Dahlia Events! Jess was the day of coordinator for my sister's wedding 2 years before mine. She did such a phenomenal job that she was the first vendor I booked for my wedding! I literally hired her before I found a venue! Both Jess and Kelsey are amazing humans and I'm so glad that they teamed up to create White Dahlia! Jess and Kelsey literally went ABOVE AND BEYOND for my wedding day. From last minute changes, checking in with me, handling anything and everything, answering all of my millions of questions, getting me beautiful rentals and being so nice and easy to work with, they were absolutely amazing! You know you had a good wedding when 1) you didn't hear of any drama because Jess handled it all without you even knowing, and 2) Kelsey's team is working tirelessly on the day of to make sure it's pulled off exactly how you pictured it. Do yourself a favor and book White Dahlia today! It's the best decision I made for my wedding! I can't recommend them highly enough! -

The vendor I would hire over and over again
Kelsey was an absolute dream to work with, and quite honestly I don’t think I could have put together the wedding without her. Her services were worth every penny, and she’s the one vendor I would hire over and over again. She has a talent for picking up the brides vision for the wedding day, and she builds upon it. She has a lot of experience, and a ton of amazing ideas. Her rentals are so beautiful, we rented long family style wood tables which she helped dress with eucalyptus garlands, gold tea lights, white flowers and pillar candles. She also helped install her beautiful silk flower arrangement on the tree that our ceremony took place under. During the entire planning process she was always just an email or a text away, we met in person multiple times to discuss the decorations and planning. She made me so calm and I could always depend on her. She had great vendor recommendations, and on the day of our wedding she did a great job keeping all of our vendors organized and she kept the day running smoothly. She led the rehearsal with the bridal party- and she led the procession on the wedding day. She even packed all the decorations my family left behind, and brought them to us the following day. She respects her customers and is a true professional. I could go on and on about how amazing her services are! If you’re a bride- you absolutely need Kelsey and her team in your life! -

Billie Sent on 09/03/2019Hire them!
Kelsey was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!!! I hired Kelsey and the WDE team for my big day in August 2019 and they were incredible. I was able to communicate with Kelsey months before the wedding and she helped with both small detail planning as well as big picture logistics. She went over and beyond my expectations and was willing to do whatever I needed, truly always making sure my wish list was achieved. I encourage every bride to hire the WDE team as they made the entire day a dream! -

Our Wedding couldn't have happened with out White Dahlia!
We truly believe we had the best wedding ever and this was all due to Jess Smith and her team at White Dahlia Events. From our initial call with Jess, we knew she was a must-have for our wedding! She listened patiently to our vision and gave advice on vendors and next steps. We enjoyed our catch up phone calls to keep on track throughout the process, we appreciated her honesty when she saw gaps. She was sympathetic during times of stress and knew when to take charge. She planned well with the other vendors as they gave positive feedback on how great she was to work. White Dahlia worked collaboratively with other rental companies to create our vision for a perfect evening. We had three events throughout our wedding weekend and White Dahlia went above and beyond to make each event special. Wedding planning is stressful but Jess and her team made it easy. Thank you Jess Smith and White Dahlia for making my wedding everything I wanted and SO much more! -

Alyssa Sent on 10/12/2018Words can not express how amazing Jessica is! From the moment we first spoke with her (about 8 months prior to our wedding) up until wedding day she was readily available for all questions we had - anything from vendor recommendation, advice on decor, ANYTHING! Originally we booked Jessica because we wanted someone that could be a day of coordinator but liked that she also helped with logistics such as coordinating with the transportation vendor, etc. Jessica definitely went above and beyond the call of duty! She even helped me re-glue an eyelash that was falling off day off. From the moment we booked Jessica I have felt a weight lifted off and much less stressed about everything.
Jessica also always brought an energy with her and made you feel like you were the only bride she was working with. You can really tell she loves what she does! I would recommend Jessica to anyone in a heartbeat! You will NOT be disappointed! I wish I could give her 10/5 stars! -

Emily Sent on 02/04/2016Where to start... Jessica is AMAZING! I needed someone last min (a month before my wedding) because it was a destination wedding and I realized I had no one to set up the barn (blue dress barn) the way I imagined. She contacted me back right away! She was available the day I needed her and gave me a few options of how involved I needed her to be... And was very detailed for each of her package options. I also found her to be reasonably priced even tho peace of mind is priceless! She was however the first person I called and thank god for that because I would never have wanted to work with anyone but her! ?? We met for lunch and did a walk through of the venue together. She was the sweetest and most generous person. I knew I had nothing to worry about and that she would bring my vision to life making this important day as perfect as I ever dreamed! She ever snapped a few amazing pics of the barn and me seeing the barn for the first time that my Photograoher didn't even capture. She's truly amazing and this is her passion! Not just a career. That makes all the difference.
