KIND WORDS

From our clients

MDE was an imperative factor that brought our wedding together from the week after engagement through taking off for our honeymoon. There is no other team that works as collectively as MDE does- they ensure open communication, demonstrate complete transparency and provide expert knowledge. Michelle and Nicole are superior wedding architects, problem-solvers and creative consultants who are available at all times. We had a seamless wedding year planning and flawless wedding day!

OUR STORY

Michelle Durpetti founded this company on the principle that event planners must be good sources of ideas combined with practical experience. She has instilled in her team the importance of flexibility and know-how to manage a luxury wedding from beginning to end. It is our pleasure and privilege to take that knowledge and conceptualize your event in dazzling detail: through fun, surprising and intimate reflections of your love.

We believe that everyone is entitled to a beautifully planned and executed wedding or special event, regardless of race, religion, creed, or sexual orientation. We are not a team that accepts commissions for referrals, and instead we rely on trusted relationships cultivated over time.

Your happiness is our top priority, we work very hard to create lovely events that are well celebrated for you and your guests.
