MEET OUR TEAM
HEY HEY!
I'm Desiree', a Certified Wedding Planner and Designer
Hello! I’m Desiree’ Wolf, owner and Certified Wedding Planner and Designer of Devoted Wolf Events. I relocated to New Jersey in 2018 and I am loving all of these seasons! I lived in Florida for the previous 30 years so you can imagine my excitement upon learning I can use my hair dryer and NOT worry about frizz. WHAT?!? When I’m not blow-drying my hair, you can find me spending time with new friends and exploring this great area!
I have been a Certified Wedding Planner with The Certified Wedding Planner Society, the nation’s leading educator in the wedding industry and largest group of wedding planners in the world, since 2017. But I’ve been planning events my entire life. From weddings, to baby showers, to corporate events, (and everything in between!) I am fully capable of handling it all. As of 2020, I am also a Certified Wedding Designer through the very same society that brought me my planning certification. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from Eastern Florida State. I am also the CWP Society State Coordinator for our beautiful state of New Jersey.
HEY HEY!
I'm Brittany', a Certified Wedding Planner
Hello! My name is Brittany Mangano and I am an assistant wedding planner for Devoted Wolf Events. I was born and raised in Virginia. My love for soccer brought me to Randolph College where I played all four years. In 2016 I graduated with a Masters Degree in Teaching Elementary and Special Education.
Four years later, my best friend asked me to be her Maid of Honor. I quickly realized the next career path I needed to take. Shortly after her wedding, my husband and I moved to New Jersey and I received my first opportunity at ValleyBrook Country Club as a day-of wedding concierge. This position eventually led me to meet Desiree’ where I get to continue my journey and meet some of the most amazing people!
OUR Core Values
Communication
Communication is key. Too often, we find ourselves in a bit of a pickle simply because of a minor misunderstanding or miscommunication. Let’s avoid that if we can!
Organization
We pride ourselves on organization.
Business organization.
Our lives are organized chaos.
Sustainability
You won’t be receiving a planning binder from us.
All of our planning resources come straight to you in digital format.
Reliability
Our management clients are just as important as our full planning clients. We will never disappear on you.
End of story.
Life isn’t alway rainbows and butterflies. Regardless of how effortlessly some people seem to float through it.
Life is the sunburnt, the sticky, the dirty.
Life is what happens when we’re busy making other plans.
What Desiree' Believes
- I believe that good times are more fun with good people

What Brittany' Believes
- I believe in playing outdoors over playing on social media.
- I believe in laughing at myself instead of pretending to be perfect. And yes, I laugh at myself often.
- I believe success happens when you start to live a life authentic to you and not what is expected of you.
- I believe gratitude is the key to a happy life. Because even the darkest times can turn into the biggest gifts.
