Deena is fabulous. She can do anything and gives her all to make sure it happens.
Casey Grant
Deena had a short time frame to work with. I heard of her 6 months before my wedding. She said "if we are going to do this we have to start moving now!" I said "Yes"!. From that day forward the flowers, invitations, linens, my dress, all details to the smallest detail were covered. Sometimes it is overwelming. She made sure to only task certain things in chunks so they seemed attainable to me. Anything I didn't care about she just handled. She listened to me. On the pickiest things she really listened, and made them happen. In the end, my wedding day was a dream come true. I owe it all to Deena. She was there with me when even my family, and fiance at the time could not be. Thank you Deena for making the day all that I dreamed of. We will definatley use her for any event we have in the future, For New Year's this last year we called her and asked for a referral for catering. She managed all of that for us as well. It was excellent! Casey Grant
