We had the privilege of working with Kristin from Deborah Minarik Events for our wedding this past Saturday November 16th, 2024. From the moment we spoke with her we felt like we were in great hands, she was so down to earth and we felt like she was one of our friends. She was my day of coordinator and honestly I would have made the decision again and again to decide to have one, it made the day stress free for us and allowed Kristin to step in and ensure the day went off without a hitch and our vision came to life. She is so cool, calm and collected and made sure everyone felt great and was taken care of the day of. If you have the opportunity to work with Kristin or Deb and her team you will not be disappointed. They are professional and super skilled at what they do and ensure the biggest day of our life comes together seamlessly. Thank you again Kristin for being such a big part of our special day...you were the best!!! All the best- Mr & Mrs Rich & Courtney Benner xoxo 🤍

Deb is the one to RUN to not walk to for help planning your big day. We worked with Deb and her team for two years before our wedding day. When we moved out of state to NC, Deb was there for everything and anything we needed with all of our vendors and meetings back in NY. Our zoom meetings were PERFECT for all of the big and small details of planning. One of my favorite parts of working with her was the very detailed timeline of wedding day to make sure that everything was accomplished and ran smooth and perfect. She is so warm hearted and easy to work with. Now as her friend I can say you will not be even close to disappointed having her and her team help plan your big day

My husband and I got married in June 2022 at Bourne Mansion. I found Deborah through the geotag feature on Instagram. We had been looking for wedding inspiration while planning and were reluctant to hire a planner because of the cost. Deborah came highly recommended through Miriam, the director at Bourne, and other brides throughout New York. We hopped on a phone with Deb and her team and we were stunned by her honesty and kindness. Due to our budget, we decided to retain Deb and her team for day-of coordination. I have to say, it was one of the best decisions we made. Even though we contracted only for day-of services, Deb and her team were always available to answering the multitude of questions we had for them. They were always open to get on the phone to explain A and B to us. On the day of our wedding - we were assigned Suzanne C. from Deb's team, who worked to ensure our day went perfectly. She made sure most of the photos on our photo/video shot-lists were taken. Our ceremony ran seamlessly as did cocktail hour and the little bits of our reception (i.e., parent dances, cake-cutting, bouquet toss, wrap-up). Also - we received over 1000+ photos from our photographer, as a result of Suzanne's hard work coordinating! It must be Deb's experience running giant weddings - we could not have asked for a more perfect evening wedding. Thank you Deb and Suzanne!
We highly highly highly recommend Deb and her dream team for all planning/coordinating purposes.

We have heard a lot of stories about day of coordinators, and were hesitant to hire someone to help us with coordination. We worked with Kristin who went above and beyond to help us with everything we could need! From 3 months out she was available, made timelines, and reached out to vendors. She was instrumental the day of, making sure we had everything with us as well as coordinating a ton of behind the scene logistics. We appreciate her hard work so much and would recommend her to anyone!

Kristin from Deborah Minarik Events was an absolute superhero leading up to and the day of my wedding! In the weeks prior, she was in constant communication, helping me craft my timeline and asking all the questions I hadn't even thought about. Day of, she was always there when I needed her, and made expert game time decisions so I didn't have to. She even snapped photos throughout the day so I could have a little snapshot of the day to look back on while I waited for my professional photos to come in. To me, my wedding was absolutely perfect, and I know that a huge factor in that was Kristin's hard work making sure everything ran smoothly. Can't recommend Deborah Minarik Events enough!

We hired Kristin as our day-of planner for our wedding on June 1, 2024, but it truly felt like she was with us every step of the way. Leading up to the wedding, we had multiple calls to perfect our timeline, and she effectively communicated all updates with our vendors.

On the wedding day, Kristin came fully prepared. Everything ran seamlessly thanks to her. We stuck to the timeline, got all of our photos in, and she ensured the evening ran just as smoothly - all while capturing the day simultaneously. Kristin was ready for every situation and expertly managed a lively bridal party. She handled all the day-of details, including distributing envelopes, arranging place cards, and even providing us with mints before walking down the aisle. We highly recommend Kristin if you want to enjoy your special day without worrying about the small stuff.

Honestly don't know what we would've done without Deborah. We hired Deborah as our day of planner for our wedding and she was absolutely beyond amazing. Her attention to detail and calming attitude helped make our wedding flawless. She handles everything from beginning to end and was always there for any questions we had leading up to the big day. Aside from her being amazing at her job she is just such a nice person to be around. I am so happy we hired Deborah, she helped make our wedding perfect. My biggest advise to a bride is make sure you hire a day of planner and if you are lucky enough to get Deborah you have nothing to worry about, she will help make your dream day come true and make sure everything is done. I seriously can't thank her enough.

Where do I begin. For the last year and a half we planned my daughter’s destination wedding in Jupiter Florida. We had meetings and FaceTime meetings and meetings about our meetings. All the time Deb takes it in stride, kept us calm, & organized. Her amazing knack for detail and her fantastic personality makes everything seem easy.
I am thrilled to say the wedding was 1 week ago at the beautiful Pelican Club and it was perfect in every way.
We could never of pulled off a 185 person wedding without the Amazing help of Debbie Minirak. She is worth everything and then some. Do Not Hesitate to hire this fearless Boss !!! She gets the job done and dazzles with effortless love for her work and clients.
With every little hiccup that happened ( I forgot the veil at the hotel ) Deb said “ I will be right back “ and literally flew to the hotel and never skipped a beat. And when the lights were broken at our Meet n Greet poolside and we were in the dark she ran to hotel rooms and had floor lamps set up before the hotel staff knew what was happening.
Thank you Debbie from the bottom of my heart. You were my rock and my daughter & son in law had the most Amazing wedding.
I Love you. Xoxoxoxo
