  • Dear September Events is MAGIC

    I wish we could give DeAnne more than 5 stars because she deserves that, and more! DeAnne made our wedding dreams come to life. We fell in love with her work. We interviewed other wedding planners but felt such a pull to work with her. She listened to us as we described our vision, but her ideas were the ones that made our day magical. We wanted to have nods to Harry Potter for our big day and DeAnne did this in the classiest of ways. We had floating candles above our dance floor, our table 9 was 9 ¾, and we had an incredible magician perform during our cocktail hour. These were all her ideas, and they were all truly magical! Everything was perfect and our guests are still talking about the big stuff and the little details of our wedding day. I said this to DeAnne a few times throughout our wedding planning process and I’ll say it here too: Our wedding would have been ugly without DeAnne. She made our wedding day seamless, low stress and just simply beautiful. Our day was filled with sweet memories, a perfect ceremony, and an epic dance party! We highly recommend Dear September Events to anyone looking to have the best weekend of their lives. Thank you DeAnne, you are an incredible planner and person. We are forever grateful! You made our wedding day pure magic.

    A million thanks to DeAnne & Sarah for making our wedding a fun and relatively seamless experience. DeAnne swooped into our planning with less than 6 months to our wedding date. We thought we just needed a day of planner, but DeAnne helped us see the light! She provided us with the structure we desperately needed to make our day special, cohesive and intentional. DeAnne worked with our vision and the folks we had already hired, while bringing in the best of her contacts. Plus, Sarah was the most amazing, energetic and peppy day of coordinator. Thank you both!!! I would 100% with no reservations recommend working with Dear September for your wedding!

    Outside of deciding to marry my wife, choosing Dear September Events (DSE) for our special day was one of the best decisions we have ever made! We worked directly with DeAnne and Sarah, who were so kind and patient. Despite our lack of specific direction, they took charge and delivered beyond our expectations. DeAnne understood our vision, even when we ourselves were not entirely sure what that vision was. She did not even bat an eye when we u-turned and decided an international destination wedding was the dream. We leaned on DeAnne heavily throughout the planning process, and she seamlessly brought everything together. Even with vendors in another country, nothing slipped by her! DeAnne was organized, understanding, and knowledgeable. She was always responsive and addressed any concerns we had, making the entire experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. She supported and advocated for us, even after the celebrations were over when some details needed to be resolved with a vendor. Working with her, it was clear that DeAnne has a real passion for her work and loves what she does!  Sarah was with us in person for day of coordination. She handled our group well and everything flowed flawlessly. We are sure there were many things going on behind the scenes that we are not even aware of, which allowed us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the celebration knowing that she had everything handled. It was the small details that made having DSE so special. DeAnne checked in with us the whole time we were abroad and sent the sweetest messages. Sarah helped manage our families, corral our wedding parties, and made sure we were taken care of. It was incredibly warm on our wedding day, and Sarah made sure we hydrated and hid us in the shade every chance she got. She was equipped with napkins and blotting sheets, which were definitely needed!  We wholeheartedly recommend DSE to anyone looking for a dedicated, talented, and passionate wedding planning team! You definitely want DeAnne and Sarah on your side for your wedding process. We are forever grateful to DeAnne and Sarah for making our vision come to life and creating the most perfect wedding celebration!  Lots of love, Q M

    Planning our wedding with Dear September was an absolute breeze from start to finish. From the moment we met DeAnne and Sarah, we knew we were in good hands. Not only are they incredibly professional and on top of every detail, but they're also refreshingly easygoing and cool. Throughout the planning process, DeAnne and Sarah listened to all of our ideas and visions, offering valuable insights and suggestions, while also respecting our preferences. We wanted a non-traditional wedding and they immediately understood the vibe we were going for and made it happen. On the day itself, Sarah went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. From coordinating with vendors to making sure I was hydrated, and managing last-minute hiccups, she handled every aspect of the event with grace and professionalism, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the night. Thanks to Dear September, our dream wedding became a reality, exceeding our expectations in every way. We can't recommend them highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner who is not only good at what they do, but also a pleasure to work with.
