DeeDee Cohen - Your Event Planner

DeeDee.

cial and so perfect. I'll miss you Deedee!

rience. Her fee was also reasonable, $1,250 -- it was definitely worth it to make sure that I could focus on my wedding during the wedding day and not have to worry about vendors or anything else.

a pinch. I got married on October 29, 2022 and she was there every step of the way to make sure everything went perfect. I have memories to last a lifetime thanks to her hard work behind the scenes. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to have her for my big day!

ns that arise, and then executes them to perfection. We could not have done it without her. Thanks DeeDee!

eline and anything else that was still needed. Her expertise and attention to detail was invaluable! Dee Dee, Allison, and Ann made sure our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and so much more. Dee Dee and Allison captured some amazing candid pictures at the rehearsal and wedding that I will always cherish. This team's was attentive to the bride, groom and their families. They were on top of all our vendors and make sure everything followed our timeline. Even with some last minute changes, they handled with ease. You cannot go wrong hiring Dee Dee for your wedding or any event. She made the week of the wedding non-stressful and I was able to really enjoy the wedding. If I could give more than 5 stars; I would. They deserve it!

deals on vendors and second lines than we could ever found ourselves. In addition, she happily allowed us to send things to her house since we we based in SF, which really helped us out. She also coordinated with our moms, making sure everyone was in the loop, taking stress off us. We ended up hiring DeeDee for the whole weekend and are SOOO GLAD we did this. Not only is she very fairly priced but made our entire wedding weekend perfect so we could be present with each other and out guests. On our actual wedding day, DeeDee was always 4 steps ahead -- making sure we always had a drink in our hand, that we were fed and that even our parents were taken care of. Our entire wedding commented on how DeeDee was so amazing and a real joy to have around. We miss her dearly already!! Best planner you could ever hire -- hands down.

Weeks before the wedding DeeDee was taking care of all our concerns. Additionally, we hired her for both the day before the wedding (we had a crawfish boil and she saw that all the guests were well taken care of) and the wedding at the Elms mansion in New Orleans. I seriously don't know what we would have done without her! The wedding ceremony and reception were flawless due to her exceptional professionalism.

ssional. She took the time to meet us and get to know us before the wedding day. She contacted me several times to offer her assistance, even got me then bartenders and little things that I didn’t want to bring from CA to NOLA. She’s affordable and is worth a lot more than what she charges. She stayed on top of everything from weeks before the wedding to the end to make sure all vendors and guests vacated the venue. The bride, officiant, photographer, caterer, venue coordinator, second line band, me, my family, everyone loved her and I was worry free the entire weekend. If I had met Ms DeeDee before planning my daughter’s destination wedding, I would have hired her to coordinate the event. That says a lot because it’s hard to find someone you can trust and hand over the reins to for such an important event. Ms DeeDee, we can’t thank you enough.

now that she would help with anything we needed from that moment on. We would meet with her on a weekly basis to discuss timeline and plans because she wanted to ensure that our day went just how we wanted it to. The timeline went through various iterations based on our request and DeeDee was always happy to help and make the necessary adjustments. She also came to our Rehearsal to ensure that everything would go as planned and help everyone understand their roles for the day of the wedding. She was also so helpful in providing items that we needed for our event like table linens for the sweetheart table and bird cage for gifts. On the wedding day she made sure our day stuck to the timeline and made sure that all our wants and asks were accomplished. DeeDee was truly incredible and I highly recommend her to all brides! Not only did she always check on the Bride and Groom but she made sure that all our family and guests were well taken care of the entire day. Thanks again DeeDee! You truly were incredible!

leaning. She even cooked us breakfast. She is an event planner you can rely on for your big day and she goes above and beyond.

our way of celebrating with our friends the following weekend. We rented a large house for all 33 friends to stay for the weekend in New Orleans and DeeDee did the rest! She catered in amazing local food for multiple meals, created romantic dinners in the backyard pool area with all her own decorations. She hired an amazing jazz band who played for two hours and then paraded us all through the streets of New Orleans. She covered photos and videos and a Dj and bartender. Helped decide the menu and the alcohol order. Offered us recommended lunch spots and tours through NO. She helped with every little detail. Even allowed us to send welcome bags to her home and make grocery and accessory runs for us!! She’s so talented, easy to work with, all you need is a rough idea of what you want and DeeDee will make those ideas reality and execute! She’s a professional through and through and works with the best vendors. When we wanted to add on a Sunday farewell brunch, but her main dinning vendor cooks for private planes Sunday morning and was unavailable, so she agreed to hire a few helpers and cook for us, and it was incredible!!! She was flexible and communicative and quick to respond. There’s not one thing I asked of her where she didn't exceed my expectations. We’re from NYC but will definitely be back to plan more with DeeDee. Hire her, you will not regret it!

looking to get married in the New Orleans area!

y detail! She helped decorate for the rehearsal dinner, gave super great suggestions and has the sweetest personality for making every part of the weekend stress-free. I would choose DeeDee again and again for any party!

y end of the wedding night. I highly recommend DD for all your event planning.

d met with me and the bride, and the rest was a beautiful memory. She took the lead and handled everything from the brides vision and transformed our venue to an amazing and fun party. Very glad that we have a great spot that offered outdoors and weather protected. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who can make it happen!

r we met with her the first time. She knows a lot of people and places in the area and was able to help us make informed and all-around good choices for the wedding. DeeDee is passionate about her work and helped us make the wedding planning fun, rewarding, and take the stress out of planning your wedding. Every single vendor she recommended turned out to be amazing and each vendor reaffirmed our decision to go with her over other planners in the area at our initial meetings. We are so glad we found her and so thankful that she did an amazing job and our special day turned out to be perfect. Thank you thank you thank you!!
