  • How did wedding planner make your day special? Danielle is absolutely wonderful. She is a very bubbly and fun person and she loves her job! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. I highly recommend her services. She made everything run smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing on my Wedding day!
  • Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered? Smile and have fun. When the boning of my dress popped through she was there with her "emergency" bag adding white duct tape!
  • How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla? She kept everything running smoothly, if there was a problem she addressed it, and took care of collaborating with all the vendors on my wedding day so I didn't have to worry about a thing!
  • Value of a wedding planner? Danielle was wonderful, I did not expect to have a wedding planner but now that I look back, I don't know how I would have done it without her! I highly recommend her!

  • How did wedding planner make your day special? Hiring Danielle was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. We were lucky enough to meet with her and start working with her at the very early planning stages, and throughout the entire year leading up to our wedding, she was there with us every step of the way! No matter how big or small an issue might be, Danielle always responded to every phone call and email in a prompt, courteous, and professional manner and always made us feel like our wedding was just as important to her as it was to us. She offered wonderful professional advice, gave excellent vendor recommendations, and provided us with all of the tools we needed to stay on track. As the wedding got closer, Danielle stepped in to handle communication with all of our vendors, which saved us time and stress. Once the wedding weekend had arrived, she took care of coordinating the rehearsal, and made sure our bridal party had all the information they needed, including a pocket-fold timeline telling them where to be, and listing all important phone numbers. But what was most impressive about Danielle was how she handled herself the day of our wedding, when she was faced with some very challenging circumstances that came in the form of a hurricane! Danielle never let the bad weather slow her down, and made sure that the night ran completely smoothly. We did not have to worry about anything and were able to fully enjoy ourselves, knowing that Danielle was handling things behind-the-scenes. She worked hard all the way until even after we had left the reception, making sure all gifts and other items were placed in cars, and sent home with the right people (which was not easy in heavy rain and high winds!!!). You can plan for a wedding all you want, but there is no amount of planning that can prepare you for something like a hurricane. If it were not for Danielle, our wedding day could have easily been ruined. But she was there ensuring us that everything would go as planned, and the day would be perfect, and because of her hard work and dedication, it was! I would recommend her to any bride - not only will your wedding day go off without a hitch, but you will gain a wonderful friend in the process!

  • How did wedding planner make your day special? I have so many reasons to thank Danielle it's difficult to even know where to start! When I first started planning my wedding I thought I would do it all myself. It wasn't until a good friend of mine told me "you need to hire a day of coordinator or you will go nuts!" that I decided to start to shop around for someone to help out. Through some online searching I found Danielle and I must admit, this was absolutely the best decision I made about my wedding hands down! From the first day to the last, every interaction we had with Danielle was efficient, fast and professional. As the date approached she started taking over more and more, checking in with my vendors and making sure I had everything covered in my own planning. This was enormously helpful, especially because I live in California and was planning my wedding from afar. She offered suggestions but never pushed her opinions on us, letting us make the final decision in every situation. She accounted for every detail, mentioning things I never would have thought of. At the rehearsal she really ran the show! I'm not entirely sure what we would have done without her there - we probably would have been wandering around, confused and frustrated. LOL. Thank goodness she was there to help! During the wedding she assisted where we could not, made sure everyone was where they should, and ultimately was responsible for helping make our wedding absolutely PERFECT :) Honestly I really couldn't imagine having my wedding without Danielle - she helped me be a calm, happy and joyful bride. She really is the best!

  • How did wedding planner make your day special? We hired Danielle to be our Day Of Coordinator at our wedding this June. It was a decision we got way more out of than we had realized. We did most of the details of our do-it-yourself wedding and labored over most of our decisions carefully, but realized it would be important to have someone ensuring everything went smoothly the actual day of, even though we didn’t want full fledged planning. Danielle definitely was one of the MOST amazing wedding vendors we could have gotten. From the moment she signed on, she was perfect. She checked in with us routinely but knowing that we had a lot of details we were doing ourselves, she never intruded or was aggressive about her opinions but offered advice when we would ask for it (often at midnight or 2 in the morning, wholesale flowers was a common topic…). She was impeccably professional, so responsive (she may or may not take her Ipad to the bath with her ;) )—literally answering emails with lightening fast timing. She made the trek down to south of Philadelphia where we were having our wedding, went through an entire meeting at our venue, and made sure she was on the same page as we were. She also spent hours of time coordinating with our different vendors to make sure we were in good hands—this was incredibly important as we definitely did not have time to do so and she would consistently check in with checklists/emails to all collaborators. She molded the vendors we had carefully chosen separately into an actually remarkably cohesive team of vendors working for our wedding with our goals in mind instead of just letting the vendors show up on our wedding day and “seeing what would happen.” The actual rehearsal (the night before) and the day-of our wedding was amazing. She walked us through the whole rehearsal, helping us with parts of the wedding that we just couldn’t have known how to really do ourselves (where to be standing, ordering of the procession, cues, etc.). This was really important especially since we wrote the ceremony ourselves but obviously had no experience running an actual wedding. The day of—what could be said of her role in this—she was absolutely phenomenal. There are so many things at weddings that just are not in your hands. She was everywhere at once but was unseen—that is EXACTLY what I think you want your wedding coordinator to do. She put out multiple little fires without getting the bride involved, was carefully coordinating timing throughout the day, and being the mother hen by making us get to where we should be on time. From start to finish of the actual wedding, she was on point. She made sure we cut the cake at the right time, had family lined up for the appropriate dances, etc. She also made sure we had everything packed up and taken back to the hotel appropriately. Finally, just a note about her—her personality is so vivacious and friendly—she is very easy to work with and it should speak volumes that when we were searching for someone, her name was given to us BY another wedding planner who was using her as the day-of! That sums it up!
  • Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered? Whenever we asked a question about anything, she was always helpful, trying to figure out solutions to any problems--especially helpful when it came to figuring out how to source flowers, proper processional order, things like that nature.
  • How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla? The day of--I felt like I could just let go and enjoy everything because she was there to help work out any kinks and also I will never forget walking down the aisle because right before it, she was getting ready to cue me, and right before it was my turn to walk she nodded and gestured to take a deep breath. She knew exactly how to put me at ease and help me enjoy every moment.
  • Value of a wedding planner? Invaluable--day of services are perfect for anyone who wants to design their own wedding but make sure it goes off without a hitch on the day it actually happens!

  • How did wedding planner make your day special? Danielle is beyond amazing. Not only did she make my friends and family feel better prepared for the day, but kept open communication between all vendors during the entire planning process. She has been there to assist my mother and I with any questions or concerns since day one and is always quick to respond to emails or phone calls- always within the same day! The value of Danielle's services are well worth the cost- and affordable! She was always able to answer any questions I had and helped guide me through numerous wedding dilemmas. She was well organized and a wealth of information. Not to mention that she is one of the sweetest people I know! She is extremely kind and a true, genuine person. I'd highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!
  • Value of a wedding planner? Danielle in particular added a comfort to our day knowing she was in control of things. She was top of everything and always knew what was going on. We were able to be completely stress free on our day and just enjoy the wonderful moments that were created. We had the best day of our lives and every person kept saying how relaxed and in love we looked!

  • How did wedding planner make your day special? She attended to my every need! My whole vision was executed just the way I wanted it and it could have never been done without her!
  • Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered? She always gave me helpful planning advice anytime i needed it. She was sooo quick to respond to any emails/ quesions I had.
  • How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla? If it wasnt for Danielle, bridezilla would have been unleashed! There was no way for me to be in ten places at once, but somehow she managed to be for me!
  • Value of a wedding planner? I never really thought a wedding planner was needed. I couldnt be more wrong! I never realized until now all that happens on a wedding day. If there wasnt that one person taking control of the show all chaos would have broken out. there is no way for a bride to enjoy her wedding day when she has to worry about every other little detail. a wedding planner alleviates that stress so you can truly enjoy the day!

  • How did wedding planner make your day special? Danielle was wonderful, she made sure that the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. Also, she made sure that all of the items from the reception that we had to take home were either taken care of or made sure that they would be. I would recommend Danielle to any bride/groom that are in need of a Wedding Planner.

  • How did wedding planner make your day special? First off, Danielle is such a sweet person. She is very bubbly, positive, and at the same time, very unique. Whenever I needed anything through out the day, Danielle was never too far away. My wedding was on a tight budget with a small amount of guest. Danielle handled my wedding as if I had spent thousands of dollars. I just felt like she didn't short me of anything.
  • Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered? I am so thankful to have had Danielle there for my wedding day. When it was time to pull together and decorate a huge reception hall (with an overwhelming amount of banquet tables and chairs to dis-assemble, might I add...) Danielle had a game plan for it all. She gave the orders to the helpers and it was all put together in no time. I was completely baffled when it came to the coordination of the ceremony... that was no problem once Danielle came along.
  • How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla? When things began to get stressful for me, Danielle always remained calm, very level- headed, which def. rubbed off on me. Anytime I ran in to a problem, it was as if I just handed them to her and they were taken care of right away. Anything that I needed done, she did it, from handling the food, bustling my wedding dress, or putting on my shoes, Danielle did it all. She is extremely dependable. When I arrived at the chapel, she was waiting in the front for me. She took me to a back room where I could relax until the ceremony started. She had water waiting for me, and this bag she carried around with her had any last minute things that a bride would need. I can honestly say that Danielle is the main reason my wedding day went so smoothly. She was a blessing.
  • Value of a wedding planner? I had my own vision for my wedding. I knew how I wanted my wedding to go, and Danielle didn't change a thing. She only made it better. I think the most important thing for a bride is for things to go the way she intended. She did things the way I wanted them to go. She is very respectful in that way. She is a really happy person ( who is an awesome "Cha Cha slider by the way...) All I can say is, if you want your day to be stress free, go with Danielle. You wont be disappointed.
