Meet Kieshon Davis | Event Planner & Stylist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kieshon Davis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kieshon, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes of planning any event, no matter how big or how small it is. Believe it or not, there’s a lot of confusion about the different titles & roles of professionals in the event planning industry. This tends to leave ‘outsiders’ unsure of who they should be seeking out for their event services and what those services cost. To break it down— the most used term I see is an Event Planner. Event planners main responsibilities are to handle the full logistics of the event, from beginning to end. The planning process usually starts months (sometimes even years!) before the event and typically this service starts at a higher price point.
On another hand, there are Event Coordinators, whose purpose is to help execute the plans that were previously made by the event planner. Event coordinators usually start the coordinating process weeks or a few months before the event, and mostly costs less than an Event planner. Sometimes they tend to fill the role of Event Director or Day-of Coordinator…..especially at weddings.
My absolute favorite role is an Event Stylist or Event Designer. I use these terms almost interchangeably, due to the fact that both of these roles main purpose is to develop and execute the overall aesthetic of the event. Event Designers/Stylists have very little to do with any actual planning or coordination. The slight difference between these two terms is that an Event Stylist generally focuses on the very small decor details, where as, Designers focus on the overall design of the event.
What makes Divine Dream Designs so special is that I offer all of these services. I work with each client to plan and execute, their dream event from start to finish. I handle everything! From the logistics, to installing the design, to coordinating during the event, and cleaning it all up, I provide my clients a totally stress free experience so that they can prioritize making priceless memories with their loved ones.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Divine Dream Designs is a full service, lifestyle based, professional luxury event planning company that specializes in weddings, dinner galas, luxury outdoor dining, and many private events. The most important skill that has allowed me to operate my business is the ability to adjust and keep going. The most important lesson I’ve learned is to not base my progress on other’s success. In life, it can get really hard to look at someone else getting the support and recognition that you feel you deserve. What’s important is to realize that there’s enough room for everyone and to not compare yourself. My goal is to leave behind a legacy of creating outstanding memories for my clients and their families.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I were showing my bestie around Denver, we would end up doing things that we’ve both never done. Raising my two boys and being a full-time entrepreneur does not leave me a lot of time to experience all of the attractions Denver has to offer. I would like to experience a train ride in the mountains, hiking,the rodeo, and the outdoor range.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
For me, my mom has been the number one reason why I have been able to pursue my long time dream of planning and styling events. My mom, Teresa, gives me constant support and encouragement to continue to grow. Nothing could ever repay all of the grueling event set ups she helped with for free and the amazing care she provides to my children while I’m working.
