Maps

I have been in the wedding industry for 17 years and never created a map for our guests. In my opinion, hiring a professional that specializes in services That I am not familiar with is the best solution. But with the new software available and the help of wine, I have determined I can conquer my fear of PowerPoint and other essential programs. I designed and created my first map for a bride this weekend. Now I can offer my brides more services and have a reasonable explanation of the bill at the liquor store:)

Today's taste testing

As a wedding planner for over 15 years, I do not surprise easily. I have either seen it, done it or heard it! But today I did have my socks knocked off. During a taste testing with a client, my caterer said "I just want to show you something a little crazy...". She brought shot glasses filled with homemade chocolate chip Cooke dough and graham crackers. They were so cute and fabulous. Kudos to Food by Design for "wowing" me and giving me a treat to look forward to in a few months:)

Published

I just received confirmation that Premier Bride has requested to do a 2 page spread on my June 16 couple! Kim and Mike are going to be able to show Maryland, Dc and Delmarva future brides how a wedding can be fun, beautiful and incorporate all their favorite things. What a wonderful opportunity to showcase their love.

My Bride

Love my job... Last night I sat with my bride and groom and her parents for over 4 hours. I watched them fuss, laugh, love and enjoy some cocktails. Believe it or not, I like to bond with the family and know that friendships will last longer than contracts do:). Btw. It was a super productive meeting....

Saturday Fun

I had a wonderful meeting with Liz this morning for her September wedding. We finalized her invitations and a ton of other things. I can't wait to execute a yacht ceremony. It will be my first but I am ready and will have Dramamine on board:)

Spray tan

I think it is very important that I am able to refer my clients to quality vendors. Some times I try new products and things just so I know whether or not they can meet my standards. This week I did just this. My bride was interested in a spray tan. I have never tried one but felt it was important for me to have knowledge and first hand experience..... I have to say, I love it! It cannot compete with the actual beach days and cocktails but I am very happy with the results! Thanks to Fusion spa in Rehoboth for fitting us in:)

Beach Ideas

How cute are these for a Beach Wedding? We had these on our table for a recent wedding show  in Ocean City,  Maryland. 

About Me!

Hi my name is Deborah Wayland and I am the founder and owner of Eastern Shore Events! I have been in the Event Coordinating industry since 1993. My passion for the industry began while I was working as the Director of Catering for a high end catering company out of Richmond Virginia. As the Director of Catering I gained the experience and knowledge to start by own business, Professional Event Coordination . In Virginia, I had the privilege and honor of working with some amazing vendors and client. My clients ranged from the Governor of Virginia, Corporation to countless brides and grooms.

I will always love Richmond, and my clients there, but in 2008 Delaware's Eastern Shore became my home. My family and I relocated due to my husband's job. I have observed the Eastern Shore has a unique draw for weddings and events from the surrounding cities and states. Over the last couple of years I have been building relationship with accredited  local vendors and community members. I now own Eastern Shore Events, an event and wedding coordinating company, based out of Bethany Beach, Delaware. 

Along with my experience I bring a touch of my Southern Charm to the Eastern Shore! I started this blog to keep my clients and prospective clients, in touch with me and our amazing community! 

Welcome and we hope you enjoy
