MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi! I am Dominique
An entrepreneur, a wedding planner, and an event designer dedicated to creating experiences that feel like a celebration of your love rather than just another event!
As a Trinidad-born, celebrations are a part of my DNA. When I was seven, my family moved to the United States in Brooklyn, New York. I grew up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. Growing up in Brownsville gave me the opportunity to encounter diverse cultures, and this somehow inspired me even more to be who I am today. I attended the public school system in Brooklyn then went on to graduate from Long Island University with a degree in Media Arts.
As a child, I watched my aunts set up beautiful tablescapes for Christmas and set the table for Sunday lunch and made it look like Christmas every Sunday. Their talents hit me with just one thought - I would do this all one day!
My love for celebrating every milestone and special moment in our lives allows my creativity to shine through. So, the Holidays are extra special. I must have a huge Christmas tree and lots of decorations, and every gift must be wrapped to perfection.
My passion for celebrations made me throw two birthday parties every year for my son – one at school and the other the Saturday after until he said he didn't want a party anymore.
I love to celebrate all things big and small. So, it is so fitting to step into my purpose.
I have been planning events for over 15 years. I planned baby showers, birthday parties and family BBQs.
However, my first formal event was the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005.
From there on, there has been no looking back as I found my calling. Later that year, I interned at 107.5 WBLS with Wendy Williams. Becoming the intern that assisted with ticket sales and the red carpet for Wendy's signature Dons and Diva's event.
Since then, I have planned numerous successful events. From baby showers to children's parties, corporate luncheons, and staff holiday parties.
Even though I have spent 22 years working in Healthcare, Non-profit, and Politics, I always found myself pivoting towards planning and designing events.
However, nothing can compare to the feeling I get when planning Weddings. I am truly and genuinely drawn to weddings, proposals, and events surrounding them. Love is a beautiful expression of life that is divine, and that is what I like to showcase through the elegance of execution in my work.
I watched my mother become a successful entrepreneur as a beautician and salon owner. I always knew I would follow in her footsteps when the time was right. She showed me what success looked like and paved the way for me.
I am inspired by my parents and motivated by my children.
So, after all these years, I finally decided to step out on faith, and Divine Elegant Décor was born.
