Kathleen Deery Design

Kathleen and her team were an absolute delight to work with.
Kathleen designed my wedding, everything from the dance floor, to the gorgeous furniture, to the spectacular floral arrangements.
Her attention to detail is impeccable.
I literally want to plan another event, just so I get the opportunity to worth with her again!
If you want a seamless, jaw dropping event she is the lady you need on your team.
I was so lucky to find her, she was so much more then a designer through the whole planning process. She was my advisor and advocate when it came to dealing with other vendors.
I can not say enough about her and her team to give them enough credit. I couldn’t have had the wedding of my dreams without her!

We can’t say enough about our experience working with Kathleen. From the moment we sat down in her beautiful design showroom to hot tea and warm scones we knew we were in good hands. Moving forward we were taken care of by Kathleen and her amazing team of designing women with excitement and great attention to detail. Our wedding, set on my parents property in Napa, was more than we dreamed of. The flowers were perfect and so beautifully designed from the altar all the way down to the flowers in the restrooms! The day was very hot but not a bloom wilted, real pro’s! My sister is engaged now and my Mom and I are so excited we can plan another family event with Kathleen summer of 2014.

Kathleen phone etiquette has alot to be desired, I would call it «rude» Thanks Kathleen but no Thanks… good luck…

I felt so completely blessed to have worked with Kathleen Deery and her team. My wedding was more beautiful than I ever could have dreamed it to be. From the sitting in her amazing studio, laying out ideas for the Big Day, to seeing for the first time in full her magnificent creation, I couldn’t have asked for more. Kathleen and her team are so talented. The peonies used in my wedding were like pieces of art. I have never seen anything so perfect. I kept looking around the room in disbelief that this was actually my wedding. She designed everything from the ceremony to cocktail reception courtyard to the main ballroom at The Carneros Inn. The outdoor space was fully transformed with the most beautiful pieces of furniture and lanterns. Months after, I continue to receive compliments about my wedding. Kathleen also referred me to Riana, their in-​house design person, who was incredibly creative and skilled. She designed these gorgeous place cards and escort cards for us. The inks, the paper texture, the elegant font — every last detail was so thought out. I was completely blown away. When you have so many other items you need to do, it is so helpful to be able to release just a few of the tasks like that, knowing they will be flawless. Beyond all of the talent, they are also the most kind and generous team. They were always patient with me. When you are making such big decisions about the look and feel of your wedding, you want a team you feel confident in, that you trust and love. I found that with Kathleen Deery Design. I will be forever grateful to have worked with them.

I spoke with Kathleen on a couple of occasions to do flowers and minimal décor for my wedding. I exchanged phone calls and e-​mails with her and her assistant (?) Janet. For weeks we discussed my color scheme, preferences and pictures of ideas. During our last call (a month after our first conversation) she asked me my budget. I told her I wanted to stay between $ 5,000 and $ 6,000. After telling me that she typically does weddings in the range of $ 7,500 to $ 75,000, She told me she would prepare a quote for what we had discussed and get back to me on Monday of the following week… And I never heard from her again. A simple «I’m sorry, I cannot work within your budget» would have sufficed. My phone calls and e-​mails have gone unanswered. Instead she left me, 7 weeks out from my wedding, with no flowers or décor to start all over. I didn’t know that we were in the kind economy where you could turn your nose up at $ 5000 worth of business. Not very professional. I extended my budget to $ 8,500 and took my business somewhere else.

We had the honor and pleasure of having Kathleen Deery and her remarkable staff do our daughter’s weekend at a private residence in Napa this past weekend. Kathleen is not only warm, charming and delightful to work with, she is an OUTSTANDING event planner and artistic floral designer. She made our every wish and dream come true and made us feel that she would do whatever it took to make our wedding beautiful, joyous, creative, and basically exquisite. Our venue had many different design areas, and Kathleen heard our wishes and presented us with the most unique and beautiful materials to work with. Anyone who has a chance to work with her and to have share her expertise, unique creative skills and good cheer is truly blessed.

Kathleen is doing our wedding in September… we obviously haven’t even seen the final result but have 100% confidence that everything will be amazing. She is so personable and as the other reviewer said, you feel like you are working with your best friend. She honed in so quickly on my taste and was able to describe it better than I was. Just adore her!

Kathleen is the most gifted event designer I have had the pleasure to work with. She does everything from florals to full-​on creation of décor, table linens, etc.
Her designs are simple, elegant and chic. She personalizes every event and makes you feel like you’re working with your best friend. She is extremely nurturing and wonderful to work with!
Her studio/​warehouse is a great reflection of her tastes and she is great not only with weddings, but events of all kinds and sizes. Hands down the best in the city to work with.
