About
Desirée ADAMS
A Life of Intentional Excellence
My journey has taken me from a small town in Virginia to dinners with royalty, always with a butler stick in hand and a passion for hospitality at heart.

A Little Extra, Always
I’ve produced events for presidents, royalty, and celebrities, but what inspires me most is helping others to step confidently into their own spotlight, whether that’s planning an unforgettable event or building a business with intention and strategy.
From orchestrating state dinners in Washington, DC, to designing weddings for discerning couples across the country, I’ve built my career on the belief that every detail matters and every story deserves to be celebrated.
Let's design the business you were always meant to lead
Calligraphy practice, vintage stamps, high tea, and toasted marshmallows are just a few of the “extras” I bring to daily life. I believe in overdelivering, noticing the details others miss, and making every client and mentee feel truly seen and celebrated.
“Desiree was a LIFE SAVER when I started my wedding business.”
When I first became a wedding planner, I was so overwhelmed with all the conflicting information online, and as a new business - it was hard to know who to trust. Until I found her. I loved that Desiree prioritized her blog, like me, and had a unique yet data-based approach to everything. Working with her didn't feel like "motivational fluff," instead she helped me get tangible systems in place and develop a stronger marketing strategy for my business. She' has forever changed my wedding business and she's still one of the only wedding planning experts I trust to guide me today!
"Desirée knows what she's talking about. She understood my vision and was extremely organized.
- Ashley & Max
“During welcome drinks and on the wedding day, I got to fully relax and enjoy the moment with my family and friends while Desirée made sure everything was buttoned up, running smoothly, and perfectly.”
“Each detail of the wedding, from the favors and flowers to the music and menus, was reflective of us and the things we really value.
- Ingrid & Martin
“It was the happiest day of my life, and we were able to fully receive it and take it all in. Desirée is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in weddings — the stuff you forget about or wouldn’t even know to think about or plan for. Everything was covered, with no stone left unturned!”
