About Us

About Our Professional Wedding Consultant

Are you looking for a professional wedding consultant in Southern California, with the experience and skillset necessary to help your magical event come to life? Hello! Welcome to Premier Weddings & Events! My name is Dalice Huffman, and I am ready to become your professional event planner. Known as “D” by my close friends, I am a certified event planner and mom of two precious children: Dylan and Keilani (aka Kiki).

When I am not busy helping people like you plan memorable events and weddings, I love spending time with my kids, family, and friends; going to the beach, riding bikes, playing volleyball, dancing, singing in the shower, pretending I am working out, drinking a good smoothie, devouring frozen snickers while watching my favorite show on Netflix, cooking and eating yummy food, and last but not least, drinking a good bottle of wine with my dearest friends.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I knew as a young girl that weddings were my passion. I was first truly captivated by weddings at the age of ten when I would plan elaborate mock ceremonies for my girlfriends as well as create my very own bridal portfolios filled with ideas of what I described as my “dream wedding.” My love for all aspects of planning weddings only continued to blossom over the years, but I found that personally to me, it is the special elements that each couple incorporates into their wedding that makes each one so special and unique.

In 2001, I made a life-changing decision to move to beautiful San Diego. I then enrolled in school to become a professional wedding consultant. While in school, I interned with and was mentored by one of the finest high-end wedding and event designers in the city. In 2006, I started my own professional event planner business. Since that time, I have had the privilege to execute and coordinate many successful weddings and events for many clients throughout the area. I have also developed ever-lasting relationships with some of the best vendors in Southern California. My vendors, excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and exceptional service all distinguish me from my peers and have helped me to build the loyal customer base I have today.

In 2014, I was honored to be selected to become part of the amazing L’Auberge Del Mar team as the new wedding manager and coordinator. After three wonderful years working for L’Auberge Del Mar, the road of light brought me back home to Premiere Weddings & Events. Having been able to work independently and exclusively for a hotel venue has helped to expand my creativity, my experience, and my knowledge of this wonderful and creative industry. I am so grateful for all of the wonderful wedding adventures I have had the pleasure to be a part of bringing to life.

Now that you know a little about me and my history as a professional wedding consultant and event planner, I am excited to get to know more about you and hear all about the event you want to plan. Wonder what it is like to work with me? Take a look at some of the photos and testimonials from my past clients to see for yourself.

Fill out my wedding questionnaire form to request more information about how I can help you bring your special event to life. I love working with customers and families located throughout the Southern California area.
