What we do


We start with your story! Through sharing your story individually, as a group, or as a newly engaged couple, your vision is heard. It’s nurtured. It’s developed. It’s designed.

Our creative approach is developed through your story and curated into your unique event through our design expertise.

With each event in your life, you are leaving the old and entering the new. We understand how these transitions can feel exciting yet unnerving . We understand you are letting us into an intimate part of your story through the celebrations of life. We understand that the planning process can be overwhelming. We strive to be trustworthy advocates for you during these poignant transitions as you put your faith in our team. Through our trusting relationship, we are able to work as a team to create the exquisite memories of your story.

We are trustworthy.

We are Meticulous.

Our careful attention to detail and capacity to manage many things , allows you the space to be present during the planning process and the day of the event. This allows room for you to have peace of mind knowing we have all the details covered.  The meticulous timelines, checklists, and care for every detail support the entire vendor team to work cohesively together to execute the event of your dreams.

In the planning process we are the calming presence you need to bring harmony, order, and stability in what may at times feel overwhelming. We become the broker or mediator for all involved in the planning process, so you can continue to enrich your relationships. As managers of your event, we will not only impact you and those involved in the planning process, it will overflow to your guests and vendor team as we influence the atmosphere with our commanding, calming presence.

We are a calming Presence.

Vendor Reviews

"Deena with Refined Events is such a joy to work with! In my experience, most planners are either detail oriented or a creative event designer. Deena is the best of both worlds. She provides the perfect balance of being detail-oriented while curating amazing designs. She excels at giving guidance to clients, explaining the ins-and-outs of every aspect of their wedding, to achieve their vision on their budget and timeline." - Jill

"I’ve seen Deena fight for her couples when vendors screw up or don’t deliver and *that* is the person you want serving you on the biggest day of your life. I’ve also seen her sitting behind closed doors taking the tag out of every. single. one. of those fun glow-foam sticks (the ones you see at receptions and just turn on magically by themselves) for 200ish guests. She’s committed, she’s passionate about serving you, and she’s there to make sure everything goes perfect for you. 10/10 would definitely recommend." -Christopher
