Beyond Eventful - Charlevoix, Michigan

Consider this a glowing review for Debbie and Ford (AKA Mr. Debbie)! When our original venue required us to hire a wedding planner, I was so excited to work with Debbie. Even from our first video call, I could tell she truly loves what she does and would be an absolute joy to work with. When disaster struck and our original venue didn’t work out… she was extremely flexible and helpful in finding a new venue. Communication was always spot on and she was always willing to chat even with our busy schedules.
During the weekend of the wedding, I received so many complements from everyone on how efficient and organized she is. It was such a relief having her and her hubby set everything up and not having to worry about anything so we could truly enjoy every moment. Every situation a bride doesn’t want to deal with was taken care of before I even knew about it.
Overall, DO NOT miss out on the opportunity to work with this lovely woman. I am absolutely so thankful for everything they did. If there is any moment in the future I would need a planner, Debbie is my girl! 💕

We chose Beyond Eventful for our destination wedding in Traverse City after an extensive search for a wedding planner who could seamlessly blend Indian and American traditions. Looking back, we are so grateful we chose Debbie as our planner.
Words can’t fully express how thankful we are for Debbie's guidance throughout the entire planning process. From design to coordination, her expertise and support made everything stress-free and enjoyable. Debbie is incredibly caring, professional, and brimming with creative ideas. She listened to our vision and made sure every detail, from wedding rituals to decor, was exactly as we imagined.
Even though our guests met Debbie for the first time on our wedding day, they were all immediately impressed by her warm, approachable nature. As for the design and decor, we were absolutely blown away. When I entered the reception hall, I was in awe of how perfectly she brought our vision to life. It was stunning and beyond anything we had hoped for.
Thank you, Debbie, for your dedication, your care, and for giving us an unforgettable wedding experience. We couldn't have asked for a better planner.

My fiancé and I, after 2 years, realized our dream wedding would be in Harbor Springs, MI. Not being locals, we knew we needed an experienced wedding planner with connections.
Debbie with Beyond Eventful was exactly what we needed. When we shared our proposal story, she suggested an amazing Friday event that tied in our love story. She coordinated pontoon rentals on Walloon Lake and she found us a captain, Ford is the best!
Our entire wedding weekend was amazing because of Debbie and her connections. Starting with our ceremony, leading into our intimate reception and ending on Sunday with a golf outing. She went above and beyond to make our entire wedding weekend exceed our expectations. I would definitely recommend Debbie to anyone I know.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Debbie from Beyond Eventful for our wedding. From the very beginning, Debbie was organized, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect and so "us".

Debbie, a Northern Michigan local, has extensive knowledge and experience working with all the vendors and venues in the area. This expertise was invaluable in ensuring everything came together seamlessly. She took our vision and made it a reality, handling every detail with care and professionalism. Whether it was finding the perfect vendors, managing our timeline, or ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day, Debbie was always on top of things.

What truly sets Debbie apart is how she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is exactly as you imagined. She is the kind of planner who is invaluable—bringing a level of dedication and care that you simply can’t put a price on. On our wedding day, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the moment, knowing that Debbie was taking care of everything behind the scenes. Our family was able to also be present the entire time and this was so huge to us. She seamlessly coordinated with vendors, managed any last-minute changes, and ensured that everything went off without a hitch. Her husband was also there to help, and together, they made us feel like family.

If you’re looking for someone who is not only experienced and capable but also kind and genuinely passionate about creating the perfect wedding weekend and bringing your love story to life, look no further than Debbie and Beyond Eventful. We are so grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

I can not rave enough about how AMAZING Debbie and her team was the day of our wedding. I had a pretty specific vision in my mind and Debbie and her team knocked it out of the park. I never worried about anything the day of the wedding which gave me the opportunity to be present on my special day. If you debating on weather or not to get a planner my answer to you would be DO IT and pick DEBBIE!!!!

Debbie and her team at beyond eventful were great! She definitely went above and "beyond". The service was worth every penny. She exceeded expectations of what she was contracted for and continued to be helpful even outside the scope of her responsibilities

We absolutely loved working with Debbie! She helped us with our rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and farewell brunch. Debbie and her crew consistently went above and beyond to help us plan and carry out each event. She has great relationships with so many vendors and venues Up North and was absolutely ready to go to bat for us when any gave us trouble or inconsistent information. Likewise, on the day of the wedding Debbie and her team were superb and vital to us being able to have a beautiful day. We had inclement weather and Debbie made sure every alternative arrangement was in place on a compressed timeline. Debbie always seemed to strike the right balance of offering her own suggestions based on her expertise and deferring to our ideas throughout the whole process, and we could not recommend her more highly!
