TL;DR Troy's events are much more than ordinary events. They're for those who live for the…read moreunexpected moments and making unexpected connections. When we go to events, most of us generally have expectations of what they normally entail. Some of us will begin to dismiss the possibilities of the unexpected. In my own observation and experience, Troy's events are not those events. Troy is not the planner you collaborate with when you want a normal event. He specializes in the unexpected. However, there are those of us that understands that every waking moment is unexpected. Everyday, we meet all kinds of people. But what is it about meeting them at a networking event, holiday party or wedding makes the unexpected come out of some. You will meet these people at Troy's events whether out of familiar faces or out of strangers you are soon to meet. If you're a event's professional in DC and you're not attending these events, you're missing out on making lasting connections. These are the kind of connections that propels personal and professional growth. In my past experiences. I've partied through the stroke of midnight with friends I made that evening at his Studio 54 DC New Years Eve Party. Set at the Blind Whino artistic venue, this event was a step out of reality and memorable. At the MES mixers, I've caught myself in the a truly diverse mix of DC young professionals ranging between artisans, techies, musicians, natural-born hustlers and jet-setters. The connections I've made so far can be best described as relationships fused between business and friendship. If you're a DC professional networker, a couple planning your big day, or living for those truly unique experiences, check out Troyal Events.

We hired Troy about eight months before our event, when it became clear our wedding was becoming…read morelarger than we were capable of handling. He helped us design the entire day, and the result was more beautiful that we could have ever imagined. We definitely felt he took the time to create a personal, individualized reception for us, as opposed to just pulling from a usual "bag of tricks." Troy was also invaluable by running our ceremony and rehearsal. He made sure we were calm, prepared, and stayed on schedule. We knew we didn't have to worry about any details besides sharing the day with our friends and family. The peace of mind was tremendous, and we couldn't have done it without him. Troy's professionalism and passion for his work is unparalleled, and I highly recommend you consider him to be a part of your next event.

Professional! Courteous! Wonderfully Thorough! Just plain amazing!…read more We got married last year just under the wire of the pandemic with only a few months to plan. My maid of honor/sister suggested we hire DEI as a day of coordinator. She had been very impressed with their presentation at a wedding expo and thought they would be a good fit. They ABSOLUTELY were! I have them and my sister to thank for saving my sanity. Weddings are a lot of work. Do yourself a favor and hire Dot Every I. They really do. I cannot thank them enough. I wish we had found them sooner so that we could have hired them as wedding planners. They have my highest possible recommendation rating.

We appreciate everything you guys did and made our day so special!

She also worked with the hotel to flesh out and finalize the BEO and served as our advocate throughout the experience. Having someone who can "talk shop" with the hotel coordinator was really valuable to us. From set up to tear down, Amaia worked with our vendors and the hotel to make sure every detail was executed perfectly. She regularly checked in with us to make sure our needs were met and even checked in on our families! Everyone commented how put together and professional she was!

She went above and beyond in every aspect and paid close attention to details that we didn't even know existed throughout every step of the process. Leading up to the event, we had multiple calls to iron out everything to make sure we were on the same page and she asked so many important questions about details that we hadn't even considered. On the day of the event, all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves because everything was handled to a T. Hiring her will be the easiest decision of your life!

Laura is located in Washington, DC along with the co-founder Carlee in San Diego, seamlessly and professionally brought together a beautiful day. I grew up in San Diego and have some knowledge of the city but Laura and Carlee really brought it together and added their "green" touch to the event. These are the most important things- for me-, but there are many more, that GWE provided: *Support with design, table layout and overall look and feel of the event. *Amazing ability to manage a project professionally but also bringing a true sense of calm to an overwhelming process. *Extensive knowledge of wedding etiquette, vendor relations, negotiations, overall event production and coordination and of course, reducing the impact of any event on the environment. *Day-of coordination and everything that lead up to that including timing of deliveries, managing the final details of contracts, and the chronology of the wedding day. There was also a lot of people-wrangling that was done with ease. The venue was unique to say the least, and GWE's team never batted an eye handling all the bumps and idiosyncrasies. We could not have done it without them and I would hire them again and again for any event in the future both here in Washington, DC or San Diego.
