Ionica was amazing to work with! She is warm, friendly, approachable and puts her heart and soul into her work! I enjoyed working together on my wedding as we created a timeline and structured the events of the wedding. Ionica met with me and my husband to tour the venue. She worked seamlessly with me and all other vendors to ensure a smooth process before and during the wedding! I would highly recommend her and her team for day of coordination services! She also does great work with couples for designing and staffing events as well!

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

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.
Amazing. Thankyou so much for taking your time to write us this review and for allowing us to provide you with our services. We LOVED working with you and your family and we look forward to the reception!

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.

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!
