The best Day with the best team!

Our day was absolutely perfect. The team at RD (Jess, Riley,& Heather) made sure my day was perfect. We had a minor issue with a vendor and they solved it! Our vision came to life. The guests are still obsessing over the phone, staff, and entire night. Their prices are so fair it’s almost unbelievable. There’s no need for an additional coordinator either - this team does it all. Heather was my fairy godmother all night. I cannot keep expressing how much I love RD and all of their staff!

10 stars all around!!!

Running Deer went above and beyond to ensure our day was PERFECT!!!

I highly recommend Heather DeRosa as your personal coordinator for the day! Heather ensured we were always fed and taken care of throughout the whole duration of our day/evening. She even was so kind enough to take care of our parents who aren’t as mobile, which meant so much to us.

Everyone raved about the food, the desserts, the bar, EVERYTHING. I could not recommend Running Deer enough!!!
