Hi there, I’m Denie!

The heart behind Back to the Garden Events. Originally from Southern California, I now call Memphis home, where I help couples create weddings that feel elegant, intentional, and authentic—so they can be fully present and savor every moment.

I secretly love a little adrenaline.
You can find me baking something sourdough.
I’m competitive by nature.
I truly enjoy eating well and living a disciplined life.

BEYOND THE WEDDINGS,

More about me :)

From assisting a wedding photographer, to planning my own wedding, my love for celebrating love stories was something I quickly wanted to pursue.

With experience in planning everything from intimate weddings to stadium-scale events, being a certified wedding planner and having a degree in Organizational Management, I ensure every detail is seamless and organized so couples can truly enjoy the day they’ve always dreamed of.

My husband and I love serving the Memphis community and the local church as youth pastors. When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll find my husband and I exploring Memphis, traveling, running, sipping coffee, and spending time with family and friends. I can’t wait to create + dream with you!

At Back to the Garden Events, our approach is rooted in elegance, intention, and thoughtful detail. I guide couples through every step of planning—helping you make decisions, curate vendors, and design a celebration that truly reflects your love story. My goal is to handle the logistics so you can focus on being present, enjoying your day, and creating unforgettable memories.
