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!

Working with Ionica and her team for our Killington, VT wedding was nothing more than amazing. Ionica worked tirelessly with us to make sure our special day would hold true to what we envisioned! She met with us many times to check-in and make sure everything was still on track and there werent any design changes, she even took the trip up to Killington to tour the space and make sure she fully understood how to transform the space into what we wanted. On the wedding day, they showed up early and got to work transform the space. When we finally got to the top of the mountain and saw the magic that she had created it was beyond anything we could have imagined. She went above and beyond and her and her team absolutely crushed it! We cant thank her and her team enough for making our special day even more beautiful than we couldve imagined. Dont hesitate on hiring Ionica and her team, they will meet and exceed your expectations!

Socialite by Design was great to work with for our company holiday party. We had a tight bugdet but they made it work and still manage to make the venu look amazing. We got so many compliments from staff on how great the decor was and they really felt like they were walking into a Winter Wonderland. Communication was great and responsive to all of our needs and questions. thank you
