EPISODE 20 // Business Systems & Operations Savvy // Desirée Adams
Desirée is a wedding planner in Upstate New York who designs heirloom occasions that bring people together and allow them to revel in the time they have with one another. After a decade of producing upscale events for international companies and organizations, from intimate dinners at ambassadors' residences to inaugural balls with 13, 000 guests, she founded Verve Event Co. in 2017.
Focusing on efficiency and modern design, Desirée helps couples enjoy planning their contemporary wedding so they still have time for #allthethings. For her, life is too short to waste it on moments without meaning. She has received awards from The Knot, Wedding Wire, and the International Live Events Association. Her work has been published on Inspired by This, Bridal Musings, and Wedding Chicks. She's also appeared on multiple podcasts and, in 2019, she became one of the first members of the wedding industry to launch an Alexa Flash Briefing: Ask the Planner.
Desirée is a recovering grammar queen and loves staying fit. When not planning, you can find her leading dance parties with her interns (aka her kids), or buying macarons to share with her husband, whom she met while attending a high school leadership conference.
