Dabney Smith
Founder, Creative Director & the heart behind Dabney's Designs
Dabney is a Southern Belle who fell in love with being a hostess way back during her childhood tea party days. Fueled by sweet tea, she is pumped up to plan your wedding or event!
Over the years, she always jumped at the chance to plan a party! It seemed only natural for her to pivot her interior design business into the event planning arena.
Dabney's background in design combined with her original career as a Certified Public Accountant lends itself well to event design, planning, production & styling. It is a rarity to find a person who is both a creative force and remarkably organized with impeccable attention to detail.
Dabney believes bringing together artful design, strategic coordination, and effective communication is the magic behind a successful event.
She highly values the relationships she forges with each of her clients and believes that those relationships allow her to personalize your event which is what truly elevates the ordinary!
