Strategic Event Planning & Management

The Planning House partners with companies, organizations, talent and individuals to transform complex event ideas into organized, intentional and professionally executed experiences.

From corporate events and company launches to entertainment productions, conferences, nonprofit gatherings and select private celebrations, we bring the strategy, systems and leadership required to move an event from vision to execution.

Our Services

Event leadership for experiences that matter.

Founded by Desiree, a seasoned event professional with over a decade of experience spanning some of the largest churches in America, Fortune 500 corporations, Grammy award-winning artist productions, and international nonprofit organizations.

Every event begins with a purpose.

You may be launching a company, gathering leaders for a summit, celebrating an organizational milestone, producing a live entertainment experience, raising support for a cause or bringing together the people you love.

The Planning House helps turn that purpose into a clear event strategy and execution plan.

We step into the moving pieces—vendors, venues, production, timelines, guest experience, staffing and logistics—and create the structure required to bring everything together.

  • Samantha + Ryan

    “I will say the planning process was crucial to the success of the day.. you were always a text away which was also so helpful for when something popped into my mind. 

    you tended to the groom all day making sure our needs were first and made sure everyone in the family was also being looked after. I loved being checked in on with drinks and food. for keeping us on the timeline without being annoying. I knew you were there because everything was going so well but otherwise I would not have noticed!! you worked so hard behind the scenes. 

    when I asked my parents about you this is what they said: “Mom and I were discussing, she did a fantastic job, all went extremely well, plus she had a very sweet spirit, never stressed, always a smile and very helpful “

  • Taylor + Brandon

    Brandon & I were talking and we are both still so grateful! From helping without a rehearsal, throughout Brandon’s health emergency, family dynamics, and emergency calls you had to make to save the day! It definitely did not go unnoticed. We are forever thankful for you making our day a beautiful and memorable one we will cherish for the rest of our lives. You played a huge part and I’m grateful to know you as a result…You’re truly a diamond and I couldn’t think more highly of you!

  • Daniel + Georgia

    Desiree, thank you for a remarkable day that’s forever etched as the best starter to our journey. I personally made your life so hard from the marriage license fiasco to the canine blessing of the vows. You fixed my bow tie, ran around looking for my brother, and patiently waited for the exit carousel that was behind schedule. I had countless guests come up and express the awe they had in such a well flowing ceremony & rehearsal. You and Melissa on the other hand made my life so easy and that just feels so remarkably unfair to say out loud haha. Thank you both for making this an extraordinarily special day - one that felt so effortless despite knowing full well it required heaps of energy, thoughtful consideration, and attention to detail. Thank you both for your patience, kindness, and grace towards me and my family. We wish you so much well deserved rest and GG & I look forward to seeing you again soon.
