“Some of my most vivid memories growing up are of my mother & grandmother planning and hosting parties. I watched their every move as they created authentic spaces and experiences for every occasion. Their attention to each detail, genuine hospitality, ensuring our guest’s felt as if they were in their own home, made an impact that directed my course at a very early age." - DD

Community Events & Industry Resources Giving Back

  • Hiring Deb Dziena of DD Hospitality and Events was honestly the affordable luxury I didn’t know I needed. I used to think I could handle it all when it came to planning events—until I experienced what it was like to actually enjoy one. Deb managed every detail of our Citizen of the Year event with such ease and professionalism, that it completely changed the game for me. Plus, it really elevated the experience for our guests. Instead of running around answering questions and putting out fires, I was able to actually participate, network, and take in the moment. It felt like the weight of the event was completely off my shoulders, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. She worked with me to fit my needs into my budget and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!
