About Us

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Deena Shields, I am the proud owner and creator of Essential Event Planning.  In 1992 I began my career working in the floral industry.  In the last 16 years I have created floral arrangements for all types of events, including a fundraiser sponsored by Clyde Drexler.  I began working with brides for their floral needs and have expanded in assisting with all of the details of a wedding.  While studying the art of wedding planning I took my knowledge one step further to assist businesses with all of their event needs.  Over the years, I have worked with creative vendors and have gathered a group of vendors that can conquer any type of event.  As one solid company we will handle your special event with great creativity and professionalism.  Please give us an opportunity to show you how we can help.

It is very important to me to help companies and individuals stay on budget.  Our budget team will assist with balancing all budget needs and to show you how to stay within a set budget. Please take a few moments to review our website and if you have any questions please feel free to call or email us.

It is a pleasure and honor to be able to assist you in your special event.  It is my goal to make your event one that your guests will always remember.
