Desired Events by Dee Sinclaire & Co

Dee is an absolute gem. I (the bride) was in charge of almost everything in our wedding planning and execution, including writing the ceremony and all the crafty decorations. Someone had once told me that the best money spent for their wedding was on a Day Coordinator. REcognizing that I could do a lot, but I couldn’t do it all, I took their advice and I must say that I agree 100%. We interviewed a few people and Dee shined from the moment we met. She was so enthusiastic and so supportive from the beginning of our planning all the way through the cleanup after the reception.
We hired Dee to help us coordinate on the day of. I didn’t want to worry about our detailed timeline on the day of, or any rowdy guests that overindulged… Dee not only did a fantastic job on the day (which I will describe in more detail later), but she also held me accountable throughout my planning, months in advance. In general, I am a self-​motivated person, but with so much to do for the wedding, it was easy for me to overlook (or ignore) some tasks. Dee checked in monthly to see how I was doing with my todo list. If I ever felt overwhelmed or stuck, she would give me comforting advice and the tools to get through my roadblock. For example, at one point I was totally hung up on finding my shoes– to the point where I had frequent nightmares about showing up shoeless to the wedding and having to shoe-​shop instead of attend the ceremony. Dee put a stop to the those nightmares by reassuring me that she would make sure I shoes on the day, even if she had to last-​minute run out and buy something for me.
Fast forward to the day before the wedding: Dee traveled 4 hours to our destination city and reassured our entire bridal party and family with a comforting rehearsal. This allowed all of us to sleep better that night and goodness knows I needed a good sleep the night before the wedding. Knowing that all I had to do the next day was wake up, get my hair and makeup done and show up to the wedding, was an amazing relief. I’m not going to lie– it was really hard for me to hand over my baby– that is, my vision of decorating, but looking at the photos now, Dee and her assistant did a phenomenal job with the decorations. Originally, I wanted to show up for setup for a little bit to help direct, but dee told me NO, and I am certain now that was for the best. I just ran over my idea for decorations and table settings the night before at rehearsal and she executed it beautifully without my help on the day.
After the fact, I found out there were some inevitable hiccups (what big party goes off without a single hitch, really?) But on the day, Jeremy and I had no idea and that’s exactly how it should be. With Dee orchestrating everything, we were free to focus on each other and all the love and fun the day had to offer. If I had to do it all over again I, would choose Dee in a heartbeat. All you brides– and grooms-​to-​be out there, do yourselves a favor and hire Dee. You will be so glad you did because she is Superwoman and amazing.
