Dhalia Events is an award-winning, full service team of Hudson Valley Wedding Planners. Headed by two co-founders, Deliece and Melissa, our team currently holds over 20 years' experience in the industry that spans several regions across the US as well as global destinations.
We curate and produce highly personalized and tailored events from the ground-up, whether it be a 20-person intimate soiree, a built-from-scratch private estate celebration or a 600+ person extravaganza!
We focus on the uniqueness of our couples by encouraging them to be their most authentic and raw selves. Our couples are as interested in the journey as they are in the end product. They already know who they are and what they like - we bring those visions to life. They are deep thinkers and open about their needs, even if their need is to say "I have no idea how to execute this, and I need help".
Planning with our team is often described as easy. We represent a unique mix of consistent professionalism with fun interactions, allowing our couples to approach their big day with confidence and excitement.
Our couples plan with us for 3 main reasons:
1. Our History & Experience: Our co-founders are educated up to MBA level and have a unique combination of high level corporate experience in the luxury brand and design industry, coupled with on the ground experience in the event industry. Our team has worked events at all levels, from back of house support all the way to leading and producing multi-day corporate conventions and retreats.
2. Our Style & Creativity: Our Founder Deliece, worked as a professional dancer and choreographer for over 15 years. She has a unique eye for creating moments throughout events that are intriguing and that pull out the nuances of our couples' personalities. She dreams with you! Our co-founder Melissa, has a corporate finance background and is always thinking about the logistics and delivery of the end product. Melissa also trained for over 9 years with one of the most prominent brands in the NY and CT Region, Abigail & Kirsch. When it comes to understanding how event production works from start to finish, Melissa has an incredible depth of knowledge that gives our clients confidence and comfort throughout the planning process.
3. Our Professionalism & Relationships: Our couples love that they can call us friends, while also knowing that their events will always take priority. We value exactly what our clients value and work hard to get it right, each and every time. Wait, there's MORE - We've commissioned events for large corporate brands and worked with top tier social media influencers to plan their events.
Our deepest love, however, is for our private clients. We take the time to understand their vision for their events, as well as what makes them excited, inspired and unique as people. After all, isn't that what we are here to celebrate? People!
If you identify with our style, you're already halfway there. That's our Dhalia Promise. Let's connect to start your Dhalia Experience.
I had such a positive experience working with the Dhalia team for my private estate wedding. Both Melissa and Deliece were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. I worked closely with Melissa the entire time; she was incredibly thorough and genuinely cared about every detail. I didn't really have much help planning the wedding aside from the Dhalia team, so it meant so much that they took the role seriously and were there to guide me every step of the way, from vendor selection and managing the timeline to providing their general expertise, etc.
Despite having less time to plan the wedding (around 5 months or so), I felt confident that they could pull it off, and they did not disappoint. From our initial call, their confidence, experience, and professionalism assured me, which was exactly what I needed because my partner and I had no idea what we were doing. They executed everything perfectly and brought my vision to life. It really was a perfect day. On the day of the wedding, their additional staff was exceptional. A special shoutout to Antonia for her support and attentiveness. She was a literal angel!
You can't go wrong with Dhalia Events. They made my wedding day truly magical!
Dhalia Events holds a special place for my family! We worked with Deliece in 2019 for my sisters wedding, and again for mine May 2024. The attention to detail, the strong communication, and round the clock service could not have made wedding planning as stress free as it was without Deliece and her team. They all go above and beyond to make your day so special, meaningful, and absolutely perfect! I wish we could do it all over again!!
