Dara Castiglione is professional, caring, hard working and diligent. We hired her full service planning of my daughters wedding and we are beyond satisfied with our wedding events and all the details that came together to make for a magical, love filled and joyous weekend. Her staff is attentive and fun, her vendors are creative and professional, and Dara is exceptional as a wedding event planner. I would highly recommend Castiglione Events for planning and intend to utilize her amazing services again. Thank you to Dara and the Castiglione Events Team!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Dara and her team. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the perfect planner to bring our wedding day vision to life. With each inspiration picture I shared, she immediately knew the right vendor and reached out to secure them for our day. Her network and connections across the wedding industry allowed us to have the best day of team of vendors - everyone worked together seamlessly and understood our vision! Dara’s organization and communication took away any stress that a bride could have. My husband and I enjoyed every step of wedding planning and can truly say there was no stress, arguments on details, or hiccups along the way because of Dara’s amazing process. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfection and brought everything we hoped for together - beautiful, classic, timeless, whimsical, and fun! I cannot recommend Castiglione Events enough and just know that once you are a bride in Dara’s hands, you are one of the luckiest brides on earth!!

My husband and I worked with Dara for the duration of our 2 year engagement before getting married this past weekend. From the start, Dara was incredibly easy to talk to, approachable, and organized. The website she builds for each couple keeps you on track of things you should be doing and when. We scheduled calls with her multiple times throughout the years to catch up and to talk design/planning. On these calls she listened to our comments, opinions, and thoughts on the overall design and vibe as we continued to perfect it. She worked with us and our vendors on adjusting our reception timeline to what we had hoped it would look like. The vendors she recommended for day of signage and paperwork produced incredible products that are now wedding keepsakes.

After those 2 years, we were so excited to see everything come together. Dara and her team worked behind the scenes that morning setting up our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces. She and her team then had to flip our ceremony space from one location to another due to inclement weather in about 30 minutes all without *seemingly* breaking a sweat. The entire day, for us, was stress free and enjoyable. Dara's bridal attendant, Steph, was with me all day and had everything my bridesmaids and I could possibly need along with a wonderful and calming demeanor.

Working with Dara was such an enjoyable experience and the final product her and her team put together was incredibly us. All of our guests commented on how everything in our design felt like a true representation of us and how no small detail was overlooked. Dara and her team are top of the top and I could not recommend them more!!
