About

Debbie Barton – For over 40 years, Debbie has been involved in the event industry. She started in 1979 by blowing up balloons for kids, face painting, spinning cotton candy, restocking fountain drinks, and running concessions. In 1989, Debbie began working with the design and production of personal and corporate events. She has remained in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding areas throughout her career. She enjoys the travel that some corporate companies have done with their national meetings and award ceremonies. In 2000, Debbie began her own event planning and design company with great success. She has a talent and passion for creating visual designs as well as time-sensitive logistics involved in creating unique and memorable experiences with each and every event. Her expertise allows her to relate to her client’s needs as well as have a greater understanding of their vision and goals.

Daniel Barton – Daniel grew up in the event planning industry! With first-hand experience in all areas of the event industry, it makes him the best Event Producer we could ever have, hands down. He knows what to do, how to do it, and when to do it, and can accurately assess needs before, during, and after events. His ability to ensure the events run smoothly from start to finish puts our clients at ease. He is incredibly valuable to our team at Brilliant Event as well as each and every one of our clients.

Deedee Barton Goble – Deedee began her journey in the event industry at the tender age of 14 (you might say she was raised in the business). A logistical genius and a vital member of our team, she works hard and follows through from concept to completion of every event produced. A true Joy to work with, Deedee exceeds expectations by going above and beyond, making sure every detail leads to a Brilliant Event!

Michele Cannon – Michele has always been a planner with everything that she does in life. Her creativity in writing and organizational expertise are what take designs from the imagination to paper. She has a keen eye for contracts and details and she understands what matters most to our clients. She does all she can to make the planning process as easy and seamless as possible and truly enjoys what she does.

Willow Reed – Willow entered the event industry when she joined the family business, Bill Reed Decorations. With some of the most imaginative and extensive collections of unique props and décor, Willow collaborated with event professionals and facilitated events for premier clients.

From brainstorming designs to creating one-of-a-kind installations, even bare rooms are transformed. Willow leaves an indelible impression of quality at every event.

Willow now joins Debbie Barton of Brilliant Events, Inc., one of the most respected and incredibly creative event planners in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, serving Texas and beyond.
