Deedee and her team were exceptionally awesome! From venue scouting to various vendor meetings, She did it all as though it were a piece of cake. But most importantly are her negotiating skills for certain line items on my budget without reducing the quality of the work. I would choose her again and again! Thank you so much Deedee

Very reliable, resourceful and detailed for all my wedding needs. She was very accommodating in meeting my budget and provided fresh ideas for us. I can't thank Deedee and her team enough for all the hard work put into making our day special.

We hired 3sixteEvents 30 days out from our wedding. Dee Dee came in and crossed the T’s and dotted the I’s. The day of I don’t know how we would have been able to complete the wedding without her team, they made the day come together perfectly. The biggest compliment we got about wedding was how organized it’s was.

Deedee was a lifesaver for us as we planned our wedding while living in another state. She brought a great team of professionals who helped to keep us calm and prepared all the way up to the big day. Deedee is not only a great professional, but a person we will like to be friends with for years to come. We recommend her for your wedding!

Dee Dee was a pleasure to work with. I will just say, I started planning before I found her and she did the partial planning package for us since we hired several vendors already but we ended up changing our venue and Dee Dee was so helpful with working with us through that transition and getting all of our other vendors on board. I got pregnant half way through the process and she was so helpful as I redirected my attention from the wedding to my new growing family. She took care of following up with Vendors and even the vendors I already booked, she circled back with them to make sure we were getting the best deal and value. She was patient even when we weren't, she was thorough even when we weren't, and she always is responsive, even when we weren't. As a crazy pregnant lady with very specific desires and ideas (especially budget constraints) I could tell I was a lot of work but she was so gracious and kind and professional. She has an amazing spirit and I could tell from our first meeting that she would not disappoint. I'm so glad she didn't. My husband and I have already recommended her to people we know and care for so we are without question, happy about our decision to have Dee Dee and her amazingly kind staff work to bring our anniversary wedding to life.

DeeDee and her team were so excellent to work with!! Our initial contact was more like an open discussion with a friend, very unlike the more "formal" consultation process that I was expecting from a wedding planner. She really listened to us, and seemed genuinely concerned about capturing our vision for our wedding. She stood by us through the whole process and was always so calm about everything. Our day was so special, it was truly a dream. Even with all the unexpected extras that came on our wedding day ?, 3Sixteevents took care of everything and kept us in good spirits!! If you are searching for a wedding planner who will not only put in the time to seamlessly coordinate your event but also genuinely care about you as a client, contact 3Sixteevents!!!
