Designer Weddings Inc

Linda and her team were great at designing and decorating our yard for our daughter's wedding. She was so great in helping them see the vision of what it could look like and the end result was amazing. Melissa was our wedding coordinator and I couldn't have survived the day without her (or days leading up to it). They made the day a great success!

We got married this August at the Inn at Laurel Point. The hotel was undergoing some major renovation near the terrace and ballroom where the ceremony and reception were taking place. Linda proactively came to check out the site the week before and did a beautiful job decorating the place that we barely noticed the construction in the background. The decoration came together so beautifully and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Linda and team!

We had the privilege of working with Linda and her team for our wedding at Bear Mountain in August 2021. She took the time to listen to what we wanted, and used her experience to offer alternatives/options that we may not have otherwise considered with minimal pressure. The end result was more than we could have ever hoped for! Covid threw us a lot of curveballs planning a wedding, and Linda was always flexible and assuring when it came to the constant changes. Bear Mountain was undergoing major renovations right up until our wedding day, and Linda even came to meet us at the venue to make sure her vision aligned with ours perfectly. She showed us professionalism, was punctual, and truly delivered the wedding of our dreams.

If I could give Linda 10 out of 5 stars I would!We worked with Linda to try and plan our wedding through the pandemic. She followed us through 4 versions of our wedding! Her responses were timely, her attitude was so positive, and the support she provided me was crucial to making it through our wedding day!I cannot thank her enough. I would recommend her to absolutely every bride!She is also very transparent in her quoting and works to make your day special while also respecting your budget. You know exactly what you are paying for, which provided me with alot of comfort.Thank you Linda and team!

Linda (and her husband Doug, can’t forget Doug) are so lovely. Linda knew exactly what we needed and what we didn’t know we needed. She’s very organized, has thought of everything and is very transparent. She is easy to communicate with whether over phone or email with a very quick response time which trust me, when it’s closer to the event date is huge. She provides an invaluable service at a very reasonable price.It’s hard to find good decorations for events but if you’ve found Linda look no further, she will turn your event up to 11. I recommend without question, thank you for everything Linda.

Linda was fabulous to work with for our wedding! What a lovely family business they have. Designer Weddings offer a wide variety of rental items for a very reasonable cost. Make sure you contact them directly about things you might need -- not all the rental items are on the website yet or some rental items could be in the process of being made (it looks like they are constantly adding to their collection!) My husband and I had a beach themed wedding and they had everything we needed (shells, fish nets, sand boxes and more).Linda was so communicative and flexible about the changes that we needed to make throughout our wedding planning process. Pick up of decor was so easy, too! We borrowed decor for approx 1 week. Thank you so much!!

Linda made our wedding more beautiful than we could imagine. She made everything so easy for us. All our guest commented on how stunning the decorations were. Amazing work.

Linda Payne of Designer Weddings Inc is incredible. She is hands down the most helpful & accommodating designer/decorator that I have ever worked with. My friend hired Designer Weddings for her Wedding August 2019 and did a spectacular job with the decor at the Delta Ocean Pointe Hotel. I then hired her for a family event (January 2020) and I cannot say enough good things about her. First off, I don't live in Victoria and she was so accommodating with emails, photo examples, phone calls and more. She made a stressful task of planning this event from afar seamless. She offered amazing insight/experience and was willing to work within my budget and help make this the perfect dinner. In an industry where everything is so costly, she really makes an effort to come up with cost effective options! Linda Payne is wonderful and does amazing work whether it is a small event (like my family dinner) or a large event (like my friend's wedding). I would definitely recommend Linda/Designer Weddings for your next event, you will not be disappointed!!

We planned our Sooke wedding from Nanaimo and made our vendor selections online which can be nerve racking to say the least. From the moment that we met Linda our minds were set at ease. Linda is very warm, friendly and most of all calming! She listened attentively to our vision for our wedding and in no time was pulling together the elements to make our vision a reality. A very important part of the vision was the design of the ceremony site. I had originally thought that my dreams were larger than our budget but had saved a photo of what I liked and showed it to Linda. I was blown away when she said that she was able to give us what we wanted and keep it within our budget! Throughout the planning process Linda was quick to respond to all of my questions and requests. Her prices are very reasonable and payment schedule was very fair. On the big day the decorations at our ceremony and reception sites were exquisite and exactly what we had asked for and I cannot say enough how happy we both are with Linda, her professionalism and for making our wedding day dreams come true!

Designer weddings…… THANK YOU so much! For creating an absolutely amazing wedding that we will never forget. We were originally getting married May 05, 2020 in Hawaii but of course our plans had changed due to Covid. While trying to navigate the unknown with planing another wedding in Victoria, we truly had no idea what to expect. We met with Linda, gave her our ideas of wanting to still incorporate a Hawaiian themed wedding and wow did she ever blow us away. Our wedding in Victoria was way more than we ever expected our could have imagined. It was perfect in every way! Be sure to book with Linda and her team. You will not be disappointed!Thank you Linda!
