The Team
Who We Are
D'Vanya Hinsey
Founder & CEO
Lead Planner/ Designer
Growing up as the “planner” D’Vanya always had a knack for planning and putting things in a schedule. It only made sense that she would pursue a career in planning. Her parents both in the event industry in different capacities she grew up watching the logistics of events put into motion to see the final result.
Starting her planning experience in the hotel she first entered the hospitality industry in the resort kitchen as a chefs assistant taking in the ins and outs of the food and beverage side of restaurants and events in the hotel.
After working in the kitchen for 2 years she moved into events where she planned and executed hundreds pf weddings. After about 5 years in the hotel she would move to a design and planning company where she garnered more experience in the planning world and also gained experience in the design and setup logistics side of events.
Aced Affairs was launched during the pandemic by D'Vanya Hinsey, a passionate event planner and designer.
