  • The BEST Wedding Planner!

    I worked with Billy for a little over a year for my wedding. From the first meeting, Billy was absolutely on top of her stuff. She is extremely detail-oriented, proactive, and is a total get-the-job-done kind of person! I can't tell you enough how important it is to have someone who has expertise, the willingness to help and guide you through the way, and also just genuinely cares. I was in school the majority of the wedding planning process, and it was very refreshing to talk to Billy who answered every single one of my questions faster than I could imagine. Also, Billy's pricing is extremely good. I compared her pricing to many other vendors in Pensacola, and I guarantee that you will get way more help, guidance, and execution with Billy than you will with these other wedding vendors that are just extremely highly priced with only the fraction of the execution of Billy. All in all, Billy did above and beyond for my wedding. I sincerely am thankful for her and her team. If you want a reliable wedding planner that you can trust and KNOW things get done, Billy is my absolute highest recommendation.

    Wow. Billy Rae is a literal dream. I have been so excited to share my experience about the DaSilva team. This is for all my Type A brides out there! From the start, Billy had me. I live out of town but was having my wedding in Pensacola. The thought of planning my entire wedding on my own and then just handing it off to a complete stranger did NOT sit well with me. I knew I needed a wedding planner, but I wasn’t even sure exactly what I needed from one! I had three Zoom meetings before Billy. All of them were fine and friendly. They “checked all the boxes”. But when I met with Billy, her presence came off the screen. I swear I still can’t explain it…but my stress-shoulders literally came down. Her presence gave me such a calmness. My instinct was to go with her. THANK GOD. From that point forward, I’m telling you everything was smooth sailing because of that woman. Any question, concern, needing her expert opinion or just a dose of her calmness really helped ease everything for me. Our rehearsal got moved to a much smaller location because our venue was having a wedding the day before. My husband and I wanted our wedding song with people coming out on very specific lyrics. Billy’s leadership on conducting the rehearsal was amazing. We also had a lot of moving parts because of a storm and people from out of town. With her amazing communication, everyone was on the same page to have an seamless ceremony. The wedding day was INCREDIBLE. For decor, the DaSilva team did EXACTLY what I imagined. After hair and makeup, I came down to peek and see everything. (that Type A is hard to tame) I was amazed at it coming to life!! AND! I totally forgot about the Mr. & Mrs. Table! Who does that?! Me. And what did Billy do?! She whipped up the cutest table with extra decorations I had along with some back up she had. OMG! She even had all these little adjustments I didn’t even think of! Like tacking down items because of the wind from the ceremony. At this point, I’m not sure I can even claim Type A anymore. Everything during the wedding was INCREDIBLE. She kept up with the timeline to make sure all the things we wanted to do were going in a timely manner. The guests, myself and my husband had the BEST time truly  because of the DaSilva team. My key points about this angel are these: She offers expert suggestions but always reminds you it’s your day. Her listening is IMPECCABLE. She pays very close attention to detail and will execute your vision. Her communication is next level—the bridge that makes everything come together seamlessly.She is fun, warm, and supportive, yet knows exactly when to step in and get things done. The perfect balance. I'm telling you....get this woman on your team and let her be the captain of your wedding ship!

    If I could give Billy and Rick a thousand stars, I would definitely give them. Finding Billy to be our Wedding Planner was simply the best thing that ever happened to us. She made our dream come true beyond what we could have imagined. She helped us and guided us in absolutely everything for our big day. Billy even managed to find a translator (Maria Eduarda) so that our family and friends in Brazil could also understand the ceremony and be moved with us, and that was incredibly beautiful. Maria Eduarda was simply incredible with her work. It is also worth mentioning the wonderful work that Rick did; beautiful pre-wedding photos and we can't wait to see the wedding photos. I'm sure they turned out amazing and we will be able to admire them for the rest of our lives. Billy, thank you so much for your exceptional work. And congratulations on having such a wonderful team. They were all essential and helped us a lot on our big day! Thank you also for being the best Wedding Planner I could have found and for all your help and support! Thank you for making our dream come true and even more beautiful and special. As I told you before, I want to get married again just to have you as our wedding planner hahaha. I recommend you and will always recommend you a thousand times. The best wedding planner in the world!!!

    DaSilva's Event Design was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, informative, and incredibly helpful. Billy and her team are true professionals - they are excellent at what they do, incredibly creative, flexible, and incredibly organized. Despite my short timeline of only giving them 2 months notice, they had everything ready to go 2 weeks before our wedding day so I could just relax and know that everything was in place. Billy is a marvel at organization and getting things done, and she and her team worked so hard to make our dream-come-true wedding happen seamlessly. They were also very flexible when we needed to make changes and move certain things around on the day of. And their vendor partners are truly top-notch! I cannot recommend DaSilva's Event Design highly enough.
