Brindle Events

MY WEDDING PLANNING PHILOSOPHY

I'm Dani Beiswenger, owner of Brindle Events and proud Alaskan who transplanted from San Diego, CA in 2018. One of my greatest assets is the breadth of experience I bring from having planned a wide variety of events, and thus truly understanding what it takes to achieve success. In event planning, I've learned success is defined by the level of genuine trust and rapport a planner develops with their client, the planner's commitment and integrity toward carrying out the client's vision, the planner's ability to manage client expectations in accordance with budget and event parameters, and lastly the planner's ability to execute a cohesive, organized event design with great attention to detail.

These core principles apply just the same to wedding planning, but their importance is that much more heightened by the fact that for many clients their wedding is regarded as the most important and anticipated day of their lives thus far. As a planner, taking on that pressure and responsibility exhilerates me, and I get so much gratification from taking that burden off the shoulders of my clients. While I relish in the wedding design and planning stages of hours spent researching, communicating with clients, and managing the excruciating details of vendors, decor and logistics, I also thrive in the fast-paced environment of wedding day execution when everyone is looking to me for guidance on the plan, decisiveness when unexpetced hitches arise, and a voice of reason when emotions run high.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND AT A GLANCE

In addition to six years professional experience in event design, planning and management for corporate meetings, nonprofit galas, golf tournaments, and special events, I'm currently pursuing my Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation to further my expertise. I had the unique challenge and opportunity to plan several large scale fundraising events here in Anchorage during the coronavirus pandemic, adding virtual/hybrid event execution and public health risk management to my resume. Additionally, throughout my four-year tenure as an events-based fundraiser with the American Cancer Society of Alaska, I solidified relationships with many key players in the local events industry which I maintain today. I moved north with my third-generation Alaskan husband in 2018, and while I was born and raised in Southern California, Alaska has truly become my home. Its beauty and incredible people have captured my heart and inspired me to create a business of my own to serve the community that has welcomed me with open arms.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

My husband and I were married at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, AK back in summer of 2021 after juggling multiple postponements due to the Coronavirus pandemic. I planned our wedding from top to bottom, and it ultimately came together to exceed all our expectations - a true testament to the value of persevearance!

My passions include hiking, skiing and biking whenever I have the chance, cooking new and traditional recipes with my husband, spending time with our huge extended family, using up those Alaska Airlines miles to travel the world, volunteering with the Alaska American Cancer Society and other local organizations, and of course hanging with our two pups. In fact, the inspiration for our name comes from our beautiful brindle greyhound-mix, Luna!

Thanks for taking the time to learn a bit about me, and I can't wait to connect with you on your next event!
