Dabney's Designs (Elevated Events)

Creative Director

Dabney is a Southern Belle who fell in love with being a hostess way back during her childhood tea party days. Dabney's background in interior design combined with her original career as a Certified Public Accountant lends itself well to event design, planning, production & styling. It is a rarity to find a person who is both a creative force and remarkably organized with impeccable attention to detail. Dabney highly values the relationships she forges with each of her clients and believes that those relationships allow her to personalize your event which is what truly elevates the ordinary!

At Dabney's Designs, we strive to elevate the ordinary! We help couples in need of a planning confidant & truly appreciate the "tiny touches" that subtly infuse your unique story into your big day! Chances are, you’ve never planned a wedding and may not realize that it involves more than just selecting a venue & hiring vendors. It encompasses a multitude of details that can feel daunting—budgets, timelines, layouts, design cohesion, day-of supplies, & narrowing down trends. That’s where we come in! We can help you develop & execute your vision using our proprietary online portal, phased planning process, & impeccable attention to detail.

    Dabney’s Designs made our wedding dreams come true! From start to finish, Dabney went above and beyond to make every detail perfect. Before I could even think of something like blue napkins to match our custom crest (which Dabney designed!), she had already found them! She did the same with the menu in the shape of the crest, the escort table, cocktail rounds, flower arrangements, and the entire ballroom design. I am very picky, and I LOVED everything she would show me. She truly listens to her brides (and their partners/families). Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed—stunning flowers, beautiful signage, delicious food, and an incredible band! Our guests were absolutely blown away, and we’ve had 10 or more friends say they want their weddings to be just like ours! Dabney and her team took care of everything, connecting us with the best vendors. If you want a wedding that’s seamless, unforgettable, and full of love, we can’t recommend Dabney’s Designs enough!

    Dabney was the person I absolutely needed before and on my wedding day. My husband and I couldn't have imagined our wedding day without her. Despite living in another state, Dabney was so accommodating and friendly and always listened, providing insight and experience onto every one of our suggestions. We were always so impressed with her knowledge and ideas! I don't have enough words for how amazing she is as a wedding coordinator and also a person.

    Dabney provided us with the most amazing assistance in getting ready for our wedding. She listened to all the details of the scope and the style of the wedding we had in mind, and helped us turn all of our thoughts and dreams into a perfect weekend in Cancun. Dabney assisted in every detail from the design of the invitations, to welcome bags for our guests, and we benefitted greatly from her experience when working with the photographers and onsite event coordinators. By the time the event came, it all went so smoothly because everything had been thought through. Thank you so much for all the hard work

    Simon, Thank you so much for your stellar review! It was such a joy to work with you and help bring your wedding weekend vision to life. I truly appreciate your kind words about my organization and attention to detail—it means the world to me! Knowing that you felt supported throughout the planning process and that everything came together beautifully is the greatest reward. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together, dreaming up your “sentimental sunset” design vision. From determining the best layouts and table configurations to exploring different tabletop combinations, every moment was a delight for me. Creating each coordinating themed detail—invitation suites, signage, day-of supplies, and welcome gift bags—for your destination wedding weekend was a true highlight. Your wedding in Cancun was magical and memorable for everyone! Thank you for recommending me; it truly warms my heart! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

    To the MOB: If you would like to be cool calm and collected without a worry in the world on your daughter's wedding day you need Dabney as your wedding planner. You will be confident she will take care of everything (and she will.) Her goal is for your Day to be perfect and she will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
