Hire immediately!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Daniela and her entire team! From the very beginning, Daniela was a dream to work with. She was incredibly organized, responsive, and thoughtful. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Daniela made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable. She took the time to understand our vision, our culture, and all of the details that were important to us, and she brought everything together more beautifully than we could have imagined.

On our wedding weekend, Daniela and her team were truly phenomenal. They handled every detail behind the scenes so effortlessly that we were able to completely relax and be present with our family and friends. No request was too small, no problem was ever made to feel like a problem, and they were constantly making sure that everything was exactly where it needed to be. Their professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for us made such a difference. They even brought us food and drinks to our table, and Daniela was sweet enough to bring us a cocktail while we were getting ready for our reception and everyone else was at the cocktail hour.

Our wedding was a fusion Gujarati-Assamese celebration, and Daniela made sure that all of the traditions, cultural details, and personal touches were honored beautifully. She helped bring our vision to life while also making sure the day flowed perfectly.

Daniela is not just an amazing wedding planner—she becomes someone you can trust and rely on throughout one of the most important days of your life. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her and her team by our side, especially in the last few busy weeks before our wedding when she was on top of details that I never even thought about. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and so much of that is because of Daniela’s hard work and dedication.

If you are looking for a wedding planner who is organized, caring, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making your wedding incredible, RUN to book Daniela and her team! We would recommend them a million times over and are forever grateful for everything they did for us!

Hiring DA Event Planning was the best

Daniela is truly an angel! I did most of the vendor coordination before hiring DA Event Planning but starting at 60 days out from the wedding, I no longer had to worry about anything! A lot of my husband’s family members only speak spanish and it was very important to us for the wedding planner to be able to communicate with everyone comfortably, she was amazing! We also had 2 medical emergencies and Daniela handled these with complete ease, my husband and I didn’t even know something happened until the morning after the wedding! Hiring DA Event Planning was the biggest help, you cannot go wrong with this extremely professional and organized team!

Professional, Thoughtful, and Detail-Oriented

Daniela and team are absolutely amazing!! We went with full wedding planning, and could not have been happier with our decision to go with her. She is very experienced in all types of event planning (especially South Asian weddings), and was one of the biggest reasons our wedding went so smoothly! She is very kind, thoughtful, and communicative with us, and really provided a ton of resources and help in every planning stage. Her and her team’s adaptability and attention to detail was impressive, and it gave us complete confidence that we could enjoy and be present for our wedding, knowing her and her team are taking care of it all. If you are looking for a wedding planner who does it all and more, look no further and hire DA Event planning!

Daniela is amazing!

Daniela is unbelievable. She is incredibly talented, professional as can be and so kind. She immediately takes away so much stress with her efficiency and thoroughness and all our vendors knew every last detail and were all on the same page. Our wedding timeline was perfectly created and followed. She had everything in place, was extremely flexible and communicated with my mother and I constantly. My family and I feel so lucky that she chose to work with us, thank you again Daniela for everything!!!

The Best Money I Ever Spent – Daniela is a Wedding Planning Superhero!

I truly don’t know what I would have done without Daniela. From our very first meeting, she was organized, transparent, and incredibly patient. She clearly explained what the process would look like — what I needed to handle and what she would take care of — and from that moment on, I knew I was in good hands.

Throughout the entire planning process, Daniela was my rock. She always reassured me when things got overwhelming and helped keep the stress to a minimum. She never missed a beat — reminding me of payment due dates, catching small details I hadn’t even considered, and helping me bring my wedding vision to life in every way.

She was instrumental in finding vendors that matched our style and budget, and her calm, collected energy was exactly what I needed during the planning process.

On the big day itself? Absolute perfection. We had 350 guests and a 7-hour ceremony and reception — and Daniela handled it all flawlessly. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I got to fully enjoy my wedding knowing Daniela had it all covered.

Hiring her was hands-down the best decision and best money I ever spent. If you’re looking for a planner who’s organized, thoughtful, and truly invested in your day — Daniela is the one!

Daniela was absolutely phenomenal and I could not recommend her and her team enough!

Hiring a day-of coordinator was top of mind for my wife and I because although we wanted to plan everything ourselves, we also wanted to be fully present on the day of our wedding. I met with about 10 different wedding coordinators and Daniela was my last meeting. I knew right away that Daniela’s warmth and determined energy was the perfect fit for my wedding at the Sunken Gardens. She answered every question I had with confidence and never made me feel like she was going to pressure me on any decisions (many of the coordinators did not give me this feeling). From our first meeting to the wedding day, she was attentive and fast to respond. On the wedding day, she gave us complete peace of mind as she coordinated with our other vendors to make sure everything was as we envisioned. To say Daniela went above and beyond is actually an understatement. Here are a few of the ways she exceeded our expectations: she provided worksheets to create all necessary timelines for the wedding day, she made up a plate of charcuterie from our cocktail hour and delivered this + wine to us while we were doing our couples portraits, and she loaded her own vehicle with DIY items and florals and dropped them off at our house at the end of the night. The day after the wedding, my Dad told me that he had doubts about whether a day-of coordinator was necessary but after seeing Daniela work, he agreed her leadership was the key to how flawless the evening went. If you have any doubts about booking with DA Events, I hope this review will encourage you to move forward. If we ever need an event coordinator in the future, we would quickly reach back out to Daniela and her team. Thanks for everything!

Christian-Hindu Wedding

Daniela and team are amazing! From the planning process to the execution of the event, Daniela was with us the entire time- keeping things organized and helping us find vendors, including our two officiants for our somewhat a-typical combined Christian-Hindu ceremony. She is very responsive, on top of it all, and an all-around great person to work with! Daniela made sure that the vision for our wedding was represented throughout - with our focus being on our guests and ensuring that they had an amazing time at our celebration. Our venue didn't have the best communication with us or Daniela leading up to the event, and upon arrival to the venue, Daniela made sure that everything ran smoothly and did a lot behind the scenes that we didn't even know about so that we could enjoy our day. She and her team made it possible for us to be in the moment on our wedding day and we were able to relax knowing that DA Event Planning team had everything covered!

Incredible Wedding Planner!

We hired Daniela to help us plan and coordinate our destination wedding in March of 2024. Daniela was phenomenal to work with! She is such a great listener, so patient and supportive, and she truly understood our wedding vision. She made every step of the planning process so easy! I actually enjoyed wedding planning, just from all of the support she gave and knowing I had someone I could trust and count on for the wedding day! She always put me at ease. The day of the wedding, I had no time to oversee or check up on the set-up of the ceremony or reception. But, that didn’t matter, because Daniela and her assistant were on it! I had the LONGEST list of requests for the set-up and decor, and Daniela didn’t miss one detail. My whole vision came to life, and it was such a pleasant surprise to see all of that when I walked down the aisle and into the reception space. I’m not a big crier, but I was in legitimate tears of happiness all day and night, because of how beautiful our wedding day was. None of that could have happened without Daniela, and my wife and I are beyond grateful we hired her! Thank so, so much Daniela! I hope we can take you out for a drink the next time we are in Florida! :)

Daniela is amazing!!

I cannot say enough about Daniela. Living in Gainesville and trying to plan a wedding in Tampa can be so stressful. Not when you hire DA event planning. Daniela and her assistant made the day so stress free and I was able to focus on my daughter for her big day. Daniela was on top of everything from the beginning of the day to the end of the night. She contacted all vendors prior to my daughter’s big day and had everything coordinated. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I was able to be the mother of the bride and not a stressed mother of the bride. She was so caring, dependable and down right one of the best people I have ever encountered. I highly recommend her. You won’t regret it. Thank you Daniela. You’re truly amazing!!!
