Weddings by Debra Thompson LLC

Debra and her team are amazing! She is truly a godsend. She is so knowledgable about the wedding industry. She helped us to a find a new officiant when ours cancelled on us a few months before the wedding. She also helped us when we were having some issues with the band's manager. She truly knows what she is doing. She kept me so organized and helped me stay on task throughout various stages of wedding planning. Because of Debra and her team of skilled coordinators we were able to actually enjoy our wedding and did not have to worry or stress about anything- as they took care of EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE. If you are even on the fence about booking a wedding planner or coordinator, do yourself a favor and book Debra. More...

By the time the wedding day arrived, Debra felt more like family--and even some of her staff who I only met on my wedding day felt that way (shout-out to Lorraine, who is also amazing and complete doll). Debra shows genuine care for her clients and helps work through any manner of decisions. She is kind and kept us laughing (and calm)! We hired her as a day-of-coordinator, and this was very much money well-spent. I know the price tag is not small, but the bang for your buck is there--her day-of-work felt like partial planning because she does so, so much to help you. More...

Debra and her team were fantastic. During the run up to the wedding Debra was constantly in communication and was detailed/consistent in her responses. She provided feedback when we needed it, but never felt like she over stepped. The best compliment I got from a guest was "I hope the wedding was as smooth behind the scenes for you as it appeared to us." Her production team day of: Nina, Marissa, and Karina were there to do all the heavy lifting and were total professionals. Most importantly my bride was able to enjoy our wedding with all the chaos going on around us! More...

Just a wonderful planner with a great team. Debra and her team helped us navigate a chaotic weekend and made it all seem effortless. We were able to enjoy our event without any added stress pretty largely in part to Debra and her team helping ensure everything was as it should be. If I had to do it all over again, I'd happily hire her team without pause. More...

Just three months prior to our wedding, our venue fell through and we basically had to start from scratch. Being on the west coast, with our family living in New York, we had to plan every detail remotely. This is when we reached out to Debra, who came highly recommended by our florist. Throughout the planning process, Debra was approachable and supportive, while never being afraid to express her qualified point of view. We never got the sense that she was overselling us and in fact, her candor was refreshing. She was very insightful and helped us prioritize where - and where not - to spend. Debra had a great sense of how we wanted our day to look every step of the way and the positive feedback we received from our caterer, venue, photographers, and entertainment company was reassuring. As Debra told us from the very beginning, we would not need to be preoccupied with the many logistics on our wedding day. Debra and her team discretely took care of every detail so that our focus could be on our family, our friends, and each other. To Debra and her team: thank you so much for your part in such a beautiful day, and for the time and effort that you took to make it as amazing as it was! More...

I am so grateful I found Debra! We worked with Debra over the course of 2 years because our original wedding plans were affected by COVID. She was always supportive, empathetic, and organized. Wedding planning can be overwhelming (an understatement lol), and my calls with Debra always left me feeling reassured that things would come together. When it finally came to the day of, our expectations were beyond exceeded. I don’t think things could’ve gone better - the day went so smoothly, we stayed on time, and Debra and her team were always there to assist when anything came up. She and her team are so caring and professional. I am so grateful for all they did to make our day so special! THANK YOU! More...

Deb is the wedding whisperer! My husband and I both wanted a unique combination of traditional and nontraditional elements and Deb truly listened and understood the vision we were trying to create. She helped us navigate complex family dynamics and reinforced our perspective at every turn. She was also wonderful about connecting us with vendors — including our florist and tent/ furniture vendors. Everything stayed on track thanks to her wonderful talent for coordination and made sure On the day of the wedding itself, Deb and her team were simply spectacular—keeping everything moving along on time, jumping in to rectify any hiccups, making sure everyone was where they were meant to be. I felt totally assured having her present—a total wedding day blessing. More...

If you are hesitant to hire a wedding planner because you think you are organized and don't need anyone please reconsider. I am a very type A person and plan events for a living but my parents still thought it would be a good idea to hire a wedding planner. Debra and her team exceeded all my expectations. Debra was there for me whenever I had concerns about COVID or needed advice about vendors or family drama. She genuinely cares about each of her brides and wants us to have the wedding we always dreamed of. The day of my wedding Debra's team had everything organized and was always two steps ahead of me. They made sure we got all the pictures from our shot list, set everything up at the venue how we liked, made sure everything was ahead of schedule and even made sure we had food and drinks throughout the whole night. I can't imagine a more perfect wedding day and it was all because of Debra and her team. All my stress was gone the minute I started getting ready because I knew I was in good hands. Debra's team are rockstars and I think every bride needs them by their side. More...

Words can’t express what Debra and her team did. We hired her and her team for our short term planning and she was so organized with everything. The stuff they think of and how hard they work day of to ensure everything you want happens, it’s truly an experience. I cannot thank them all enough for helping our vision come to life, for ensuring anything that could’ve happened didn’t and whatever did happen was handled. Their passion and professionalism is unparalleled. Thank you so much! More...

I’m going to start my review in honesty - I did not think we needed a wedding planner and that it was a waste of money, but as the wedding got closer, I could not have been happier to have a group of women who thought of everything I no longer had the broadband to think about. Their thought and effort made our whole weekend run flawlessly. They thought of things I would never have thought of and their efforts enabled both my and Joe’s family to relax and truly enjoy the day and be in the moment. If it weren’t for them, I don’t think my wedding would have been half as phenomenal as it felt. If you are thinking about it and trying to decide if a planner is worth it, trust me-it is!! More...

Hire hire hire now. If you’re even on the fence about a planner you don’t even understand all the details and things that go into a wedding, and I’m in the business and still had a lot of overwhelming moments till I involved Debra and her team. There are so many decisions to make, so many things to think of, so many people to coordinate with, family dynamics to please it’s endless lol. Having Debra there to navigate through her process and her team. PRICELESS.
She is so passionate about what she does, she remembers everything even when you forget, your vision is her vision. Not only is she amazing to her clients but vendors LOVE her too. They all want to work for and with her, they want her clients to be happy they respect her. Having Debra and her team on your day is a NO Brainer. You will never regret a second of it . She’s the best with a heart of gold.
Thank you thank you for everything 😘🥰 More...
