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

Hi Dominique, career-wise, where do you want to be in the end?
When I am at the end of my wedding planning career I would like to at least have 2 storefronts for brides can still go in and get wedding services. I also want to have a whole wedding team so we can be a one stop shop !

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
How I got to where I am today in my business is simply not giving up . I saw my vision with how I wanted my brand to look and I took it and ran with it . I still have more to accomplish but I am super happy how everything is coming out . I started planning weddings first then I brought in a decorator and she became my friend . She decided to focus more on her own business so I decided to get into decorating. It was very challenging and she still was around to help me . I started taking small decorating jobs and perfecting my craft with each wedding. Once I got to a point to I started an all in one inclusive deals and started offering rentals for a budget friendly cost.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Omg taco in the colony is so good ! Top golf in Dallas is a great place to visit , I love visiting Northpark mall in Dallas to do some shopping . Kitchen and cocktails is a great place downtown to eat .
