Ionica was absolutely amazing to work with! She truly has a gift for making magic happen—even when time is limited. Her ability to see the vision for your event and provide thoughtful, personalized guidance is unmatched. Ionica took the time to understand what I wanted and made sure every detail reflected that. Her team was just as incredible— going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfectly in place. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for someone who will treat your event as if it were their own, look no further. Ionica and her team are simply the best!

They did an outstanding job planning our outdoor summer party by the beach! She beautifully captured our vision and brought it to life with stunning colors that perfectly matched the natural beauty of the location. From the seamless execution to the thoughtful details, everything was beyond what we had imagined. Ana’s creativity and attention to detail made the event unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We were working in a tight schedule with many changes in the last week. Ionica and her team took every hiccup we threw at them and ended up with great decor.

I inquired with Ionica about doing an event for our company's anniversary. Our budget and size were incredibly constrained but Ionica provided us invaluable support to help us put together an event that met our needs. Her professionalism and creativity were top tier during our engagement!

For our daughter's wedding ceremony, it was a genuine pleasure working with Ionica! She came up with beautiful designs for both ceremonies ie Indian which was celebrated in our backyard and the reception which will be held later this year at a beautiful venue. Ionica was great in incorporating our wishes in her designs and her team was extremely friendly and efficient! We recommend Ionica and her team wholeheartedly.

Ionica was just an awesome decorator. She was prompt in her responses and asked thought provoking questions to make the day memorable. She made it a personal responsibility to make sure that every detail was addressed. Her and her team were professional and punctual. I’ll never forget April 28th, and they’re a big reason why! 5/5 for sure.

I had such a great experience working with Socialite By Design. Ionica really understood the vision that I had for the event, and transformed our space into something magical. The staff was very helpful, organized, and punctual. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Ionica provided great options for my baby shower, I wanted a budget friendly shower, she worked with my budget. She was very responsive. We had a hiccup with my custom sign but she managed to provide an alternative last minute, true sign of an accommodating event planner.

I had an absolutely amazing experience working with Socialite by Design! I am a senior in high school and was hosting a Winter Dance at our school gym. I piloted this idea and it took over three months to have it approved by the administration, so I wanted everything to go perfectly. I began reaching out to event planners and was in contact with three, but Ionica stood out to me. From the beautiful decorations she has done in the past on her page, I immediately felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands. With only a quick phone call of my vision, she sent me a mood board within days that fit my image perfectly! From there we took off planning the event. As a full time student, I had a lot on my plate but Ionica was able to ease those worries along each step. Because we didn't have any funding, Ionica was so helpful helping us cut costs. She also provided support with outreach, including finding a wonderful DJ at a low cost (DJ Dani). The event turned out to be roughly 200 students and I heard nothing but GLOWING reviews of the night. The school gym was truly transformed into a completely different space with purple and blue lighting, a stunning backdrop, wonderful standing tables and draping all along the walls! Ionica was truly such a blessing and I 100% recommend working with her if you have the opportunity!

I can not say good enough things about my experience with Ionica. She assisted in the planning, vision, decoration, design and project management for my wedding reception, and she did phenomenally. I was blown away by her passion and zeal in ensuring the day went off without a hitch. I found her information when I was feeling overwhelmed with all the planning and in a time crunch- after the first meeting with her I instantly felt at ease! She made our reception come alive!! We had a classic theme, lots of greenery, white and gold. Every piece of decor was placed with intentionality! We also had “thank you” cards on each plate for our quest and Ionica customized it, and our guests loved it! Ionica design well, but more importantly she cultivated an atmosphere of love for us and our guest and it was literally the best experience! A++! Socialite by Design staff were great, attentive, punctual, knowledgeable, profession and overall great people to partner along side with. She understood what I wanted, added invaluable feedback and was an amazing counselor throughout the process. I also found her services to be great price! With our budget, we didn’t have to compromise on style or taste and Ionica delivered just that. The service she delivered was truly priceless! Book today!!!! You’ll have NO regrets.

Ionica was such a pleasure to work with for my law school graduation. Ionica and her team were incredibly personable and helped achieve my vision for an intimate celebration with friends and family so seamlessly. We met a few times to discuss layout and design prior to the big day and I always left our meeting happy and excited. She communicated with the venue while always keeping me in the loop and never let me be in the "unknown" which I truly appreciated. Not only did she do an amazing backdrop and center pieces but she designed a layout with high tops and food tables that made it perfect for mingling all night long. All of the guests were impressed by the personal details and made the celebration one to remember :). Thank you so much, Ionica and the team!!

Fantastic experience and amazing attention to detail. The team at Socialite By Design are top notch pros. They turned my living room into a Caribbean resort for my husband's birthday party and the guests were so impressed as was I.

Monica B.Nov 2021

All I can say is WOW! Ionica was amazing. After a few quick conversations by phone she really got a good sense of what I was looking for. She also met me at the venue and that was really helpful. The day of the event I was blown away by how amazing everything looked. I have recommended her to my friends and can’t wait to have another event so we can work together again.

Ionica was very responsive the moment I reached out to her with my event query. She immediately set up a call with me to understand my style and needs and delivered everything as promised. She’s very professional, friendly and also made a customized sign for my baby shower!! I throughly enjoyed working with her and she made my background very beautiful for pictures! Thank you Ionica and team!!
