Hello!
My name is Deanne, and I am the owner and lead planner at Elegance and Ivory! I started this company because, while I have many wonderful memories with my husband, our wedding day is by far one of my most cherished. I believe every couple should feel their very best on their wedding day, and I absolutely love working with couples to prepare for what will undoubtedly be one of the most exciting days of their journey together.

I cannot put into words how wonderful Deanne and her staff are. As a Covid bride, Dee helped us downsize our original wedding and reschedule our big party. Her attention to detail and reassurance throughout the process were phenomenal and on the day of, she truly was a lifesaver. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for a wedding planner, Deanne is the best!

I had the most exceptional experience working with Deanne at Elegance and Ivory. She helped us plan and coordinate our wedding this October. I was amazed at all of the things I would have missed while planning if it weren't for her team. She was extremely professional and reliable for every element of our wedding. Deanne has multiple years of planning experience which shows through her attention to detail and vision of the event. I am so glad we got to work with her for our wedding, it would not have been the same without her. Day of was a bliss for me and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She moved us through the timeline and made sure everything that we wanted was done. I am very organized and particular and I am so glad we were able to put 110% trust in Deanne for our big day. She is truly the best in the area. You will not find similar quality in this area for event planning! I would hire her again for all of my events. I recommend her to EVERYONE even if you think you don't need a planner, you do. Whether it's someone to add a helping hand on a few items or someone to take over the full planning process.

Elegance and Ivory helped us accomplish the wedding of our dreams. Deanne's planning and execution made the entire process as stress free as possible in the midst of a pandemic. Her suggestions and connections helped us choose which vendors we wanted to work with and her staff were so polite and helpful on the day of the wedding. We really didn't have to worry about anything and just got to experience the day together with our friends and family knowing that everything was in good hands and being taken care of behind the scenes. I would absolutely recommend Elegance and Ivory to anyone planning a large scale event, whether it is a wedding or not I would trust Deanne to deliver top of the line expertise and service.

Highly recommend!!! Working with Deanne and her team was by far the best experience I could of had for the days leading up to my wedding this past October. My now husband and I both agree that we couldn’t have pulled off our special day without her. Honestly! She helped us in every way with asking the right questions, following up with us, working with the vendors and being available every step of the way. She is very organized and prepared in all aspects. You won’t regret hiring her! You need her, trust me! Getting engaged and planning can be overwhelming but working with Elegance and Ivory, will make it much easier and fun!
