Dee and her team helped give us the wedding of our dreams! With Dee’s professionalism & one of a kind design, our wedding was the perfect wedding! We had a very large guest count, and she still managed to facilitate a smooth day for us! All her recommended vendors were also AMAZING! Everyone had a great time & we received so many positive feedback from friends & family. We are so thankful to have chosen Dee as our wedding planner + designer. ?

We met Dee through a recommendation of a good friend who had a beautiful wedding in LA. She took the time to get to know us and understand our vision and budget. She gave us a list of venues based on what we asked and we narrowed down on a venue where she could really utilize her network and resources.

Wedding planning can be very stressful but Dee was there with us every step of the way even when unexpected complications were happening. Dee and her team were transparent and supportive and we gave them our full trust for making our destination wedding dream come true!

Her exceptional organizational skills and proactive approach meant that everything ran smoothly for the wedding weekend. Dee managed every aspect with grace, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration without worrying about logistics. Dee’s personal touches and thoughtful surprises made the day even more special. Her and her team's dedication, enthusiasm, and professionalism were unmatched, turning our wedding into a truly memorable event for us and our guests. We are incredibly grateful for Dee’s exceptional work and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a unforgettable and personalized wedding experience!

It’s been 1 year since our wedding with Dee and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience. We reached out to Dee a year and a half ahead of out intended wedding date, only knowing that we wanted a luxurious destination wedding. We did not have a clear vision in our minds of what we wanted our wedding to be except good food, vibes, incorporating our Chinese/Vietnamese culture, and memorable moments within our budget. With Dee living in California and my husband and I living in NY, we made it work to meet in each other’s respective states a few times and connected mainly online.

Dee was able to guide us to create an event that our guests still talk about to this day. I.E, we had fireworks at our wedding in Cabo! Even when some pieces did not seem to fit, we joked Dee is like a fairy godmother. She was able to deliver and frequently exceeded our expectations. She always made sure the numbers made sense and was not afraid to DIY if it meant getting us what we wanted for our esthetic or experience. There were times when as a bride, feelings of frustrated or impatience arises, however, you have to 100% trust Dee that everything is going to work out (likely better than expected). Her vision is what helps bring all the big moving parts together. Her experience, connections, and grit help pull these memorable events together.

Choosing the “Dee Lee experience” was one of the best choices we’ve made so far as a couple. If we were to do it all over again, choosing Dee as our planner is a no brainer. She understood us as a couple and treated us like family. We love you Dee!

We could probably write a novel on our experience with Dee, but we’ll try to keep it “short”. We got engaged in December 2022 and were a bit lost when it came to planning our wedding. My now husband, Joseph, wanted to get married in the latter half of 2023, which gave us less than a year to plan and with the amount of information there was on the internet about weddings and timelines, I was overwhelmed. After extensive research on wedding planners, we found Dee and reached out to her. Prior to our first meeting with Dee, we were very positive given the reviews, but once we talked with her and went into detail on our planning process, our confidence shot through the roof.

After dreaming about my wedding since I was a little girl, you would think I had more of an idea of what I envisioned, but I realized I actually had no clue. Dee spent so much time getting to know us as a couple, our vision (even though we didn’t quite have one initially), budget, our preferences, and more in order to curate what became one of the best days of our lives. By being so engaged with us, Dee became like family and the whole process was so enjoyable. In addition to wedding-related things, we would frequently discuss family, faith, stories from our past, the future, and so much more. One specific example I remember so clearly was regarding florals. Since I had no idea what florals I even liked, she showed me multiple examples, designs, and themes that I might have liked and one in particular stood out. Without even saying anything, Dee said my eyes lit up to the one that caught my eye and that just shows the magic touch she has in being able to curate a love story for who you are as a person and together as a couple.

Another thing we’d like to speak on are our vendors. All of our vendors were recommended by Dee or have previously worked with her. During our initial meetings, whether it was for a makeup trial, vision board set-up, etc, they all asked how we found them. Once we mentioned Dee, every single one of them started with, “OMG I love Dee so much” or “Dee and her team are amazing” or something along those lines. That spoke to us in volumes because we believe that people are reflections of the company they keep and it became clearer over time to see how and why Dee is the best of the best. We loved every single vendor and created a wonderful foundation and friendship with them all. We didn’t expect to build these types of relationships, but by doing so, we had a wedding day that far exceeded any expectations. During our wedding day, we were fortunate enough to work with Dee’s wonderful team members: Judy, Savannah, and Carolina. We definitely knew they put out hundreds of fires behind the scenes that we weren’t aware of, but that’s why they are so amazing - because they didn’t want us to be aware of the fires so that we could fully enjoy our day. Judy was the main coordinator for our rehearsal and wedding day and she always checked with us to ensure we were comfortable with something and went above and beyond during the day of the wedding. We always told my family and friends that Dee and her team are like fairy godmothers and it’s true because our family fell in love with them. We can’t even tell you how many positive comments of adoration and respect we received from wedding guests towards them, but it was a lot (that might end up being a second novel lol).

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dee, who is an outstanding wedding planner and person. From the start, her communication and dependability exceeded my expectations. She was always prompt in responding to my questions, addressing any concerns I had, and providing insightful guidance. She was not afraid to give you her true opinion in a respectful way, which showed me her expertise in the industry as well as true care she had for me as a client. She was dedicated to understanding my vision and turning it into reality was evident in every conversation we had. (Even if I thought what I was wanting was a big ask!) With Dee’s work and her connections to amazing vendors, my wedding was TRULY a dream come true and fairy tale wedding.

I think what truly sets Dee apart is her down-to-earth personality. Despite her exceptional talent and expertise, she made me feel truly heard and valued as a client. She was always there to chat even if it wasn’t directly about wedding planning. She was not only my wedding planner, but also a supportive friend throughout the process. She is someone I hope to keep in contact with for a lifetime.

Dependability is another trait that deserves special mention. I never once had to worry about a single detail slipping through the cracks—from the early stages of planning to every single detail on the day of the wedding. There were so many conversations she had with vendors on the back-end that I did not need to worry about knowing that I could trust her 110%. She was always one step ahead. Her reliability gave me, my husband, family, and bridal party the peace of mind, allowing us to fully enjoy the entire wedding planning journey and actual day of event.

Coming to the actual execution of the wedding day: the beauty and elegance of my wedding were beyond words. Every aspect was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. From the breathtaking floral arrangements to the delicious catering, incredible live band, carefully curated lighting, each vendor was handpicked with utmost care and attention to detail. The level of craftsmanship and professionalism exhibited by these vendors was a testament to the strong relationships they have with Dee. There is so much that could not have come to life if it wasn’t for her.

On my wedding day, I was able to fully enjoy every aspect of the celebration. Her team was so experienced and professional. For that, I am forever grateful for. She made my wedding truly an unforgettable night not only for my family, but also my guests.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dee to anyone seeking an unforgettable wedding experience. She is like a fairy-god-mother in the wedding industry! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

THANK YOU, DEE!

Dee & her team knocked it out the park. I am so happy with the work she's done for me & my husband. When first interviewing with her, she asked a lot of important questions that I never thought about. That gave me the confidence that not only does she deeply care about the result of the work, but also about the experience of my guest and I would have.

Dee is so good at her job. She is responsive and reassured me. She also was willing to call me on her off hours to let me know the progress or reassure me with the questions I had. I made sure to be considerate of her time since I know she's also giving the same excellent service to many other lucky brides.

Dee is heavily connected to the wedding community which gave me more options of choosing talented & trustworthy vendors that can execute my bespoke wedding. When I disagreed with the presented vendors, we would have a discussion of what didn't work and she would come back with a new ones.

What I love about her is that she's not a yes woman. She will tell you her opinion if she thinks it's not going to work. She also kept me within my budget and let you know the estimate cost before you make your decision.

On the day of the wedding, I felt taken care of. While Dee was handling the big boss things, her team took care of my bridal & groom's party. I literally did not have to think and allowed me the space to be present. Her team knew exactly what to do with me and guided me to every scheduled event as if I was a performer. They also made sure to check in on me if I was comfortable, fix my dress or hair, and gave me breaks whenever I needed them.

I am beyond happy with Dee's work and all the vendors she hand picked for me (Two Fourteen Photography, Leta Verbena (florals), the Grey Orange Creative (Lighting & DJ), Seafood World (Chinese Catering), Fete the Venue, and Kate Leung (English & Cantonese MC). When I think back to my wedding, I can't help but to smile about it. The event was full of cheer, love, laughter, and dancing. So many of my guests complimented on how fun and beautiful the wedding was.

Dee and her staff at Dee Lee Designs made my wedding day the happiest of my life. As a groom at my wedding, I never imagined that a wedding design, a wedding flow, or a wedding timeline would be so crucial until Dee and her time brought it to our wedding. The designs were flawless, and the timeline ensured that we captured every critical moment of the wedding. I'm grateful to Dee and her team; they did an excellent job. My wedding day, 10.4.24, was transformed into a day I will never forget thanks to Dee Lee Designs and her love and vision for events and weddings.

What an incredible experience that Dee Lee and her team created for us! Planning a wedding could be a daunting task. My wife and I are so grateful that we found Dee Lee Designs.

We still remember our first consultation call. She spent over an hour getting to know us, our visions, and asking thoughtful questions that helped guide us in the right direction. We felt that Dee deeply cares about her clients and has so much experience and expertise to make our vision into reality.

After retaining Dee Lee for our wedding, she provided us with detailed milestones, to-do list, and a team of amazing local vendors that worked so seamlessly with her. She was always just a call or text away and communicating with her was so easy. It saved us so much time and back and forth because we’re based in San Francisco and our wedding was in Los Angeles. My wife being French, we wanted a French inspired wedding in Los Angeles and Dee nailed it! She found the perfect venue that fits our vision and budget. We never could’ve done it without her guidance.

On our big day, Dee and her team went over and beyond to make sure that every single detail was on point and that we didn’t have to worry about a thing but to enjoy our big day. She periodically checked on us to make sure we had food, water and what we needed. We couldn’t have planned it any better and we had an unforgettable evening with our family and friends. Every one of our guests still raves about what a gorgeous and beautifully planned of a wedding it was.

We cannot thank Dee enough and would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for the most professional, caring and easy to work with planner. We love you, Dee!
