Meet Leslie D. Johnson

Leslie D. Johnson is the powerful visionary force behind LDJ Expressions. With an illustrious career spanning nearly two decades in the hospitality field, Leslie has been able to hone her craft to perfection and deliver unparalleled service to hundreds of clients seeking assistance with event planning, organizing, décor, and coordination.

Leslie's journey to owning a successful event planning business began within major hospitality corporations where she booked and coordinated social and corporate events for elite hotels. This allowed her to develop a refined understanding of what it takes to create a truly exceptional experience and unforgettable event. Soon, Leslie's professional path intertwined with her personal goals when those in her inner circle couldn't help but notice the keen eye and artistic flair she possessed when it came to planning, organizing, and executing events of all shapes, sizes, and kinds. She became known for her meticulous attention to detail, her dedication to delivering excellence, and the innate ability to elevate events from ordinary to extraordinary. Because of her remarkable skill and reputation of quality, Leslie became the exclusive go-to event coordinator and planner amongst her friends and family. But this well kept secret would not be secret for very long.

LDJ Expressions Was Born

After many successful events, word of Leslie's talents spread throughout her community. She began receiving requests from close friends and colleagues for her one-of-a-kind event planning and decorating services, and of course, she delivered. Equipped with a strong desire for perfection and the ability to ease the minds of her clients, she began to make a name for herself independently. As these requests became more and more frequent, Leslie realized that it was time to take her business to the next level and make it official. She had always aspired to become a professional event planner and décor designer, and finally, in 2018, LDJ Expressions was born.

Since then, Leslie has worked tirelessly to bring her clients' visions to life and ensure that their celebrations are planned and executed seamlessly. She has planned, coordinated, designed, and decorated hundreds of events with the same attention to detail and careful oversight of each and every one. Her mission is to eliminate the stress and burdens that comes with pre and post event planning by using her industry expertise and wealth of experience. As her business continues to grow and flourish, Leslie has not lost sight of where she started and continues to dedicate herself to growing her business and her brand by letting her work speak for itself.
