We’re a little “extra” about the details
Events with verve make an impression, pull out all the stops, and include moments of surprise and enchantment.
We design, plan, and execute heirloom occasions with a sense of leisurely elegance. At the heart of every event is the belief that gatherings form the foundation of your story, and each detail deserves its due.
Based in Rochester, New York, planning events near and far.
Because what distinguishes an event are those unexpected surprises that epitomize your relationship. Those elements feel like colorful easter eggs just waiting to be found.
Whether you envision an outdoor wedding under the stars, a tented fête on the grounds of a sweeping estate, or something else entirely, we are excited to make it happen.
“Other than choosing my husband, choosing to work with Desirée was the best decision that we made for our wedding.
- Mallory & Bill
She’s the most organized, knowledgeable person I’ve ever met! My mom said during the planning process, ‘When I count my blessings, I count Desirée twice.’ Thanks for making it the best day ever!”
"Desirée knows what she's talking about. She understood my vision and was extremely organized.
- Ashley & Max
“During welcome drinks and on the wedding day, I got to fully relax and enjoy the moment with my family and friends while Desirée made sure everything was buttoned up, running smoothly, and perfectly.”
“Each detail of the wedding, from the favors and flowers to the music and menus, was reflective of us and the things we really value.
- Ingrid & Martin
“It was the happiest day of my life, and we were able to fully receive it and take it all in. Desirée is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in weddings — the stuff you forget about or wouldn’t even know to think about or plan for. Everything was covered, with no stone left unturned!”
We’re here to make planning your wedding as leisurely (and fun!) as possible.
