Reviews of Engaged By Darcie (Event Planner)

Haley Khatib

Darcie is such a phenomenal wedding planner. I had to plan my wedding in less than six months in the pandemic, and she was able to guide me through planning the wedding of my dreams. Darcie was dedicated to the conversations during our phone call meetings and easy to contact when I needed advice. On the day, she and her team were outstanding. They worked out all the minor bugs without fault. She is a true professional and very knowledgeable of the wedding business. I would highly recommend her for any size of wedding. When I look back on my special day, it was stress-free, and Darcie was a substantial contributing factor that made this so.

Friendly, patient and thoughtful, definitely considerate of everyone’s needs. The way she handles last minute changes is admirable. Highly recommend.

Darcie is a god send. We hired her after our destination wedding fell through last summer because of the pandemic. We opted for a beautiful venue in Sylvan Lake and the owners of the venue highly recommended Darcie as our wedding planner. It was no brainer for us to hire one considering all the changes and the headache we experienced with our last wedding plans falling through. But little did we know she would exceed our expectations completely!!! She’s super attentive to detail, responds timely to any questions or requests, and has such a bubbly and warm personality that immediately makes you feel comforted. Anyone in the Red Deer/ Sylvan Lake or anywhere in Alberta should really consider having Darcie on their team! After the last restrictions imposed on Alberta, our Sylvan lake venue cancelled our wedding due for 2 weeks, but Darcie took control! She eased our worries, found us another venue, in Banff at the Fairmont and it worked out even better than expected! She worked her magic and made the whole day so seamless and beautiful. I can honestly say, we would have never had such a beautiful day and our dream wedding had it not been for Darcie. She goes above and beyond for her clients, from being hands on with decor, finding our commissioner, ensuring all guests and vendors knew where and when to be, holding my wedding dress train, bringing water bottles, snacks, champagne. She was our Go-To person during the day and she brought it! At times it felt like she was at two places at once, that’s how good she is!! We will never forget her and can never thank her enough for making our day so magical!!

Darcie is one of the kindest, most creative and talented event coordinators/ designers in the area. I have worked with her as a fellow vendor and she is completely personable and professional at the same time. She is someone who you can definitely trust to plan and execute amazing events. I look forward to working with her much more!

I have worked with Darcie on many different weddings. She is warm, friendly, and has a great sense of humor (very important when it comes to keeping stress levels low when planning a wedding). She is also an unstoppable force with incredible energy and vision! Truly an invested professional.

We love working with Darcie on weddings (and other events)! She really knows how to get 'er done! We've seen her plan, organize, set up, and coordinate, among other things. Give her a holler.

Wow Just wow! As a Catering Sales Manager at a Busy Hotel, I am always a bit leery when Wedding Designers show up! I was so pleasantly surprised the day Darcy came to look at the venue with the Bride and Groom. She is extremely professional, and when talking to her on the phone prior to the event she was alway cheerful with so many great ideas, some we had never witnessed in our space. On the day of the event her ability to trouble shoot on some issues that arose was astounding. Not only did she cover up for another vendors mistake, she did so without anyone but myself knowing. All in all Darcy was great to work with and I would be happy to welcome her in my facility anytime! OH! and her Candy tables are to die for!

When my husband and I were planning our wedding (before covid) a wedding planner was the farthest thing from our budget. Due to covid we decided to elope which freed up money for things we didn’t consider before. If I had to go back and plan a big wedding... I would MAKE room financially to be able to have Darcie on our big day. She was absolutely incredible! She took my short notice and all my visions and made them into the most amazing elopement. When I say I had zero stress on our big day.. I mean I had ZERO stress. This woman is insane in the best way. She takes care of literally everything and manages to also remember the small details that most people forget about. Not only was she present through email and text all the time while planning, she also contacted me a month or two after the wedding to make sure I was happy with my photos and how everything had turned out. One thing I was worried about was her being supper uptight because of having to plan literally everything, but I’ve honestly made a friend out of this whole experience. She is so down to earth and I will never stop recommending her to my friends and to strangers. 15/10 - absolutely worth the extra money. So if your unsure if you want a planner... trust me you want Darcie!

We hired Darcie as our wedding planner, and it was the BEST investment we made. My husband was skeptical at first, but even he agrees it was the best thing we did. Darcie is the most genuinely sweet, enthusiastic and knowledgeable person about everything weddings we could possibly have asked for. We are two busy professionals, I have NO eye for decor/fashion (I cried in the pillow aisle at Homesense, it was overwhelming) and we were relatively new to the Red Deer area. Darcie not only got to know us and what we wanted in our wedding, but also helped us get the most out of our budget and focus on enjoying our engagement and wedding as her and her team handled both set up and take down. As most of our family/friends were coming from out of town, I cannot tell you how lovely it was to NOT have to shut the party down early or have them worry about helping and just have a great time. Darcie provided invaluable expertise and opinion in everything from venue, menu, decor, transport, flowers and her relationships with vendors SAVED us money. She was also excellent about making sure WE respected our own budget, which as it gets closer and you're already spending so much money already, it was really easy to get carried away (and I'm usually very diligent). Darcie invested SO MUCH TIME in us, our vision for our wedding day, and our wedding itself, and was so positive, enthusiastic and lovely the entire time, that I cannot recommend her enough to ANY couple getting married.

Darcie is truly a saint!! She is so sharp and kept everything running so smooth on our wedding day despite multiple hiccups. She is such a special person with so much expertise.

Darcie designed and created my dream wedding! From the first meet, it was like she was able to crawl in to my brain and pull out exactly what I wanted. From the smallest of details to the overall vision, Darcie is a true master of her craft! To say I highly recommend her is an understatement! She is professional, creative, reliable and detail-oriented. You can see how much she truly cares that this day is perfect and stress free for the bride and groom. You won’t be disappointed if you choose Darcie for any aspect of your wedding planning! I could not have asked for anything more! Everything I envisioned she was able to create and at a level that I could never have imagined! Thank you Darcie for all you did for my special day!
