Abigail E. Sent on 05/01/2024Best Wedding Decision We Made!
Like many couples, when we started planning our Hindu/Western fusion wedding, we felt overwhelmed by thought of planning a multi-day, multi-event wedding on top of our full-time jobs. In the end, we decided to go with DVS Events’ full planning package.
From our initial consult call with DVS Events, we knew we were in extremely capable hands in Victoria and Dan. They both have extensive cultural and contextual knowledge about Hindu and Christian weddings and we didn’t have to explain what certain things were (for example, other wedding planners that we considered didn’t know what auspicious dates, baraat, etc. were and made us feel silly for even bringing these up). We described what we were looking for and what our budget was and Dan and Victoria were confident and excited that we would be able accomplish it.
Their ability to listen attentively to our vision and translate it into a seamless event was remarkable. Throughout the process, they were open to our ideas and suggested some of their own (which was great!). They knew exactly the right questions to ask vendors during our calls and ended up securing a fantastic venue that we wouldn’t have even known was available unless they asked all the right questions. Victoria always waited for our opinions and reactions before giving her own while also offering ideas and reminders about different customs that we had forgotten about.
On the day of our wedding, everything flowed effortlessly, they handled everyhing with grace and composure, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the moment. If anything actually went wrong, it was fixed before we even could find out! Our guests were blown away by the beauty and sophistication of the event, and we’ve received countless compliments on nearly every aspect of the day.
We cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you for making our special day truly unforgettable!
DVS Events's reply:
THANK YOU, thank you!! Your weekend was a true Chicago style fusion wedding! We loved working with you to create a stunning event - congratulations again to you both! -

I cannot recommend working with DVS enough. We had the pleasure of speaking with the owner Victoria 6 months before our November wedding. I had already booked the venue and was unsure if hiring a wedding planner was worth it or not, and after my phone call with Victoria, I absolutely saw the value and knowledge that hiring a planner would bring. Choosing to work with DVS was easily the best decision I made in my entire wedding process (besides my husband of course).
From our very first phone call, Victoria [and Dan] have been beyond incredible. I truly cannot begin to describe the peace of mind she gave me throughout this entire process. I personally get overwhelmed super quickly, never know where to start, and am the biggest procrastinator. From our very first in person meeting, Victoria laid everything out in a way that I was able to process and actually be excited for. She asked questions I never would have even known to ask, was able to take my messy brain and aesthetic and put together the most AMAZING vision board of everything I was trying to describe.
She created an amazing plan on Aisle Planner to house all our contracts, our ideas, our timeline, basically our wedding holy grail. This made it so much easier to see what needed to be done and when, where we were with certain vendors, when payments were due, etc. Despite all of the information being easily accessible and readily available, Victoria was CONSTANTLY there to answer my endless questions. I was always able to reach her with whatever question I had, both big and small. I was always met with her patience and knowledge no matter what I needed.
We had zero stress throughout the entire planning process because we trusted Victoria, her team and the vendors. Victoria answered all of our questions and gave sound advice whenever we were on the fence about a decision. She always waited to see our reaction to options or if we had questions before commenting and she (tactfully) guided us when something was worth spending more on versus something that we didn't necessarily need or it didn't make a difference.
Victoria was beyond professional and it was shown through her team member, Nicole, who was there with us the weekend of. Details were transferred flawlessly between the stars at DVS. Every single one of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and how amazing our coordinator was. No detail was overlooked. There was no way we could have pulled off such an incredible wedding without Victoria, Dan or Nicole. This review doesn't even capture everything that DVS provided -- there is so much more that she did behind the scenes that I'm sure I will never know about. We cannot thank her enough for being our calm, cool, collected pillar of strength and sanity. -

Could not imagine our wedding being even remotely manageable without the help for Victoria, Dan and team. They were so incredibly helpful, courteous and prepared every step of the way. They were extremely responsive over text or email, and hopped on calls on short notice to talk us through various topics. They were great at handling all of our vendors, and were extremely helpful in following up and pushing any slow vendors -

Best Decision Ever!
Victoria and Dan were so helpful and we're not sure what we would have done without them! They provided "month/day of" services and assisted us in finding an excellent decor vendor. We also were fortunate to have their help with decor ideas. Our daughter and her husband had an Indian/American fusion wedding with several events. So many details and vendors and DVS was the perfect choice to coordinate everything and help us celebrate both cultures! -

Hiring weddingwhisperer for Partial Planning was without a doubt the best decision I made during my wedding planning process! I needed someone I could rely on for boots on the ground and high touch support given that I live out of state in NJ but was planning a downtown Chicago South Asian (Bengali) wedding. Victoria went above and beyond in every way for me, providing me with recommendations and serving as a sounding board for the entire 10 month period, which entailed several vendor switches and challenging vendor management. While I couldn't physically be at my venue walkthrough and visit my decor vendor, I didn't need to worry because Victoria went on my behalf. to make sure everything got executed as per my vision. On my wedding day, Victoria saved the day multiple times. She always knew what to do to make things right - whether it was reaching out to her network of cake decorators to redecorate my cake on-site when my cake vendor decorated our cake wrong and refused to fix it, providing a tide to go pen when my husband spilled on his tux, or coordinating with the DJ on stopping the music immediately when I lost jewlery on the dance floor (got found within seconds due to her quick judgement). Dan and Victoria are a dream team on the wedding day! I saved a lot of money on hiring an event producer because they set up a ton of my decor and details that I bought online. I honestly don't know when they did set up because I felt like their focus was on me the entire time! I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that weddingwhisperer is the absolute best partner I could've imagined. Will miss working with them! -

Victoria and Dan are amazing! They kept our day running so smoothly and treated everyone with such kindness. I consider myself a very type A and organized person — I felt like I had everything under control and organized down to the smallest details. Even still, once the day arrives, you have no idea how busy things get and how necessary it is to have a planner like Wedding Whisperer. They kept us on our tight timeline and coordinated with all our vendors to ensure a seamless day where my now-husband and I could just be in the moment and not worry about the details. HIGHLY recommend!!! And cannot thank Victoria and Dan enough for all their hard work on our beautiful day! -

The wedding coordinator!
Victoria was the best! She was so professional and treated our wedding like it was her own. She made sure everything ran smoothly from the beginning to the end. She even help the venue out with set up that was moving slow. The night was perfect! -
