When my husband and I choose to work with Deb Manley we knew instantly we had nothing more to worry about and we could focus on our special day.  Deb is your energizer bunny in your wedding planning.  Deb’s style is simple, to make dreams coming true.  She’s the Disney World to your happy place.  Deb listens to what her clients want, and respectfully brings fairy tales to reality.  Her experience in decorating, catering and sense of style is experience that many claim they can do but never really have.  If it means getting up at 4am to start decorating the reception hall, she will.  If she knows its going to take the work of an army to get it decorated, she’ll find people to do it. 
She understands what can and cannot be done and while doing so communicates with you assuring you that you are in good hands.

 

 

 Thank you Deb!﷯ We just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work that you did in making the flowers for our wedding beautiful. They were absolutely perfect, and we were blown away at your attention to detail, making everything we envisioned become reality. It was great having a florist that I could put my full trust and faith in and be absolutely satisfied in the end – you captured our theme (and our personalities) flawlessly! Also, we thank you for going the extra mile with helping set up before the wedding by working closely with 
our coordinator. We can’t thank you enough and we will gladly recommend your services in any opportunity we come across in the future! - Mikaela & Greg -  Deb Manley was essentially the backbone of my wedding. Her attention to detail, creativity, and "wedding know-how" made the planning and execution flawless. My family and I struggled to find an adequate caterer for the rehearsal dinner and Deb volunteered her services. The meal was absolutely delicious and the presentation was lovely. I had a military wedding; therefore proper military etiquette was important. Deb already had a firm understanding as to what we needed to include in the ceremony and reception. And what she didn't know she researched so everything would be correct. She continuously went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. She also found a soloist to sing the 'Lord's Prayer' since that was something we wanted to include. Deb did an absolutely fabulous job officiating the ceremony. She added enough creative flare to make it light-hearted in the right places, as well as speak meaningfully and include the audience for an intimate feel. I'm still getting compliments for how wonderful the ceremony was! Our experience with Deb was fantastic. I can't imagine her not being a part of our special day! - Julia -
 If it is your one and only daughter getting married; you want it to be the perfect party! We had decided to host a Welcome Party the evening before the wedding in order to start the festivities and greet all of the 125 Friday-arrival guests to the destination wedding in northern Minnesota. I turned to my longtime friend whom I knew had the vision and expertise to turn my dream into a reality. We met with Deb several times for the planning phase. Every detail was considered including lighting and decorations. She had a timeline for prep, party and cleanup that was well coordinated. Deb put together an exceptional menu that was suitable for everyone! She arrived with a truck and trailer filled with decor, tables, food and totes of behind the scenes equipment. The food was delicious, colorful and done to perfection. The presentation was very attractively done right down to the coordinated " up north" themed bar and table decorations! It set the stage for the entire weekend! I enjoyed the entire evening without any worries because every last detail had been planned for and professionally executed. She truly is an event wizard! - Kimberly -
 “My husband and I were thrilled with the planning process, the food and especially the last minute set-up adjustments we needed to make due to rain just prior to our son’s graduation party. We essentially moved everything from the backyard, including the tent, to the front driveway and garage just in time for the start of the party! Deb was like the calm within the storm. She was incredibly flexible, organized and everyone pitched in to pulled off a nice looking arrangement in no time! The food was a hit, in particular the freshly grilled hamburger sliders. And because my son is a gymnast, Deb surprised us by using gymnastics terms in the entree labels, such as ‘Handspring Tossed Salad.’ We were able to relax and visit with our guests, knowing that Deb and Doug were taking care of everything." - Sherry -
 “Deb Manley was a huge help when planning our wedding and executing things on the day of. It was a glorious day and stuff got done and I don't know how, and that is all because of Deb and the way she was able to prioritize to my other helpers (a.k.a. Personal attendants and relatives that were just standing around doing nothing)and get them done without having to ask me a million questions. She has amazing taste when it comes to putting things together, a great editing eye, great at dishing out tasks to be the most efficient and also skilled at physically crafting things herself. If it weren't for her, my husband would've passed out at our weeding because she has enough experience to know, feed the groom! He's not getting all this attention in a tiny room with a bunch of girls, he needs a snack, so she sought him out and made sure he got fed before all the picture chaos and the ceremony even got started. Deb knows how to zero in on what is the vision for your day and can make decisions that reflect what you wish your event to exude. She is a bucket of knowledge and is a great resource for any type of party/event planning. - Jacqie -  I volunteered to host my niece’s wedding shower at my home. I retained Deb’s services and with her expertise, was able to put on an unforgettable shower. She assisted me by designing pretty invitations, nametags, decorations and flowers, as well as, cater delicious Italian-themed appetizers and a full luncheon. She was available for questions and sound advice throughout the process. She came to my house early the day of the shower to decorate and assist in arranging our home into a crowd-friendly floor plan. I received very positive feedback from everyone after the event and I believe that Deb’s assistance and services was worth every penny. When my other niece gets engaged, I will definitely tap Deb to cater, design and assist with her wedding shower. - Val -
 The stress level is high for the mother of the bride. Mine was significantly reduced by a very organized woman who truly provides a one-stop shop when it comes to wedding planning. Not only was Deb Manly the officiant at my daughter's October wedding, she catered the excellent rehearsal dinner at our home, washed the dishes afterward, 
helped MC at the reception, and was truly indispensable throughout the whole process. My daughter sought Deb's advice on many levels for her military ceremony. Deb was knowledgeable on etiquette, a treasure trove of ideas and has many connections. When we needed musicians, she made the recommendations. We couldn't have been more pleased with everything she touched. Her words made the ceremony relevant and meaningful and her talents helped make the wedding one of the nicest friends and family said they had ever seen. I would enlist her expertise again in a heartbeat. She is worth every penny. - Debra -
 In September 2015, my husband and I were married by our good friend, Deb Manley. We were so glad that we asked Deb to be our officiant -- she helped us create the most beautiful ceremony! From the day that we got engaged, 
I knew that we would want to work with Deb. I, personally, have known Deb for my entire life, but this was the perfect opportunity for her to get to know my husband on a very personal level as well. Throughout our engagement and planning process, Deb met with us several times to discuss all the details for our ceremony. She dedicated so much of her personal time to learning about our relationship and what we wanted for our special day. She helped guide us through the daunting task of writing our own vows and putting together our ceremony. She had so many suggestions for readings and prayers, so we were able to choose options that suited our personalities. She set the perfect tone for our "up north" Minnesota wedding and helped make all of our guests feel like they were a part of something special. We had so many wonderful comments from our guests following the ceremony! Everyone loved her! We couldn't be happier with Deb's service, professionalism and bubbly energy! 
We would highly recommend Deb for other couples 
on their wedding day! Love you! - Katie & Jason -
