Best planner ever!

Courtney-Rose and her team KILLED it! We had experience with them in the past because my sister used her for her wedding and it was so perfect so we knew we had to book her for our wedding and we are so happy we did! Courtney-Rose helped us with every detail and was so communicative and transparent. Everything was perfect and we truly could not have done this without her. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! HIRE THIS TEAM!!! Incredible and forever grateful for the attention to detail and wonderful recommendations.

We already want to hire Courtney-Rose and team again!

Courtney-Rose and her team helped us plan our DC wedding, and we're already thinking about other events we can host so that we can work with her again. We used her three month coordination service and she helped us find a venue, but I feel like we got so much more - Courtney-Rose's vendor recommendations helped us book so many other wonderful vendors who made our day perfect, and once we'd booked someone we often realized Courtney-Rose was already coordinating with them about our timeline, logistics, and other behind-the-scenes work that took such a burden off our shoulders. From our first meeting to the day of our wedding, Courtney-Rose made us feel at ease. At our wedding, Courtney-Rose and her team navigated so many tricky situations (two venues, snow, etc) with grace and without us feeling any of the wedding planning stress. So many of our guests gushed over how smoothly the wedding went. Thank you so much!

Best wedding planner in the dmv!

Being the Mother of the Bride and the bride living in San Diego, Courtney Rose and her team made planning my daughter's DC wedding a breeze! My daughter's engagement was 2 years+ because her husband is military. We hired CR as our full wedding planner and couldn't have been more satisfied! At a very reasonable price, CR was with us on our journey the entire time.
Our celebration took place the entire weekend. We started on Friday with welcome drinks and appetizers ending with breakfast on Sunday. I did not expect her to help with those contracts as well! CR and her team exceeded our expectations!

Invaluable Decision and Investment

Hiring Courtney was the best decision and investment we made! I recommend to EVERYONE that they hire a full time planner and always point people to Dantus & Co. Courtney guided us through every step in planning our wedding over the course of 18 months. She kept us on time and efficient by steering us to great vendors who met our vision and budget. On the week and day of, we didn't have to lift a finger, nor did our family and friends, which was the ultimate goal. We wanted everyone to have the absolute best day and everyone did! We heard from many of our guests that it was the most perfectly executed wedding that they had ever attended - and so much of that was due to Courtney and her team!

A+ planning for the type-A bride!!

Becca hopped on board about a month before our wedding, and excellent doesn't even begin to describe how incredible it was to work with her. From organizing tables and working with our florist to determine how many candles were needed, to handling all of the logistics with the venue and our band - I never doubted that things were taken care of with Becca around. Even though I'm very type A and usually feel like I need to be aware of everything that's going on, I was truly able to relax leading up to my wedding knowing that the nitty gritty of it all was in good hands. Don't hesitate to work with Dantus & Co!

Best Decision I Could Make!!

Deciding to get a day-of planner was by far the best decision I made for myself throughout the whole wedding planning experience. By the time I was looking into planners, I was so worn out from stress that even the idea of making this one decision felt daunting. Pretty much immediately, though, I felt completely comfortable and confident in my decision to work with Courtney-Rose!
She was the first planner I had an interview with, and I canceled all the rest and booked her right away. Even my husband - who was grumpily on the fence about spending the money for a planner at all - immediately clicked in with her and was ready to hire.
First of all, even if you are just using her Day-Of Coordinator services, Courtney-Rose and her team never make you feel like you are on your own before the day of the wedding, or less of a priority to her. We had multiple meetings, email correspondences, and she not only stayed looped in on where we were in the process, but helped to guide us along the way.
Her attention not just to detail, but to Your unique details, was entirely invaluable!
Finally, come the day of my wedding, I had Nothing to worry about. She delegated all of the bridal party duties, her team helped wrangle vendors and family, and all I had to do was allow myself to get put together and nervously await the most beautiful ceremony of my life. Most people say their wedding day flies by, but I can honestly say mine didn’t. I had full ability to just soak in each and every moment without needing to run around making sure everything went the way it was meant to, or worry about any sort of logistics. That is the greatest gift that Dantus & Co’s services will give you as a client - enough peace of mind that you can actually enjoy your day.
If you are anything like me, then just an interview with her is all you will need to know she is the perfect choice to make.

Hire Courtney and Her Team for a Stress Free Day!

My husband and I just got married on 11/5/22 at the Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers Martime Park in Baltimore and we are so happy we worked with Dantus & Co! We spoke with Courtney Dantus in our initial interview after we received rave reviews about her team after a friend's wedding. Courtney is very knowledgable and attentive. We chose to have a three month coordinator. At the three month mark, we were introduced to our lead coordinator, Becca Mai. Becca was knowledgable and friendly throughout the process. She saw our vision and then did everything in her power to make it come to fruition. She gently pushed us to take care of a lot of the logistical work a little earlier than we had originally intended. This was exactly what we needed because as we approached our wedding day, it was seamless and stress free because Becca had already guided us well! On the day of, Becca and her team worked seamlessly to make our event run smoothly. Courtney Dantus was even there and she stayed for the whole event. We cannot thank Courtney, Becca and the team at Dantus & Co enough for their dedication, hard work and communication. I highly reccomend their services!

Hire her immediately!

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Courtney-Rose and her team. My husband and I planned an out-of-state wedding and we would have been so lost without her (something we both admit openly and often). We knew we wanted something outside of the traditional DC wedding, and Dantus & Co just made sense for us. Beyond just being a joy and so easy to work with, Courtney-Rose brought a level of service that was simply so impressive from the very beginning. We knew right away that we just couldn't do this without her. Her organization, knowledge of the industry, and creativity helped bring our vision to life in a place where we weren't sure it was possible. We owe so much to Courtney-Rose and her team, both leading up to our wedding day and the day of. She deserves far more than 5 stars!!!

Without hesitation, we would hire her again in a heartbeat!

You can't go wrong with Dantus & Co. Events!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Courtney-Rose from Dantus & Co. and she was absolutely amazing! As another vendor, it is such a breath of fresh air when we get the chance to work with great planners and Courtney was exactly that. She is very organized and responsive to emails. She works diligently to make sure her couples' weddings are exactly how they envision it to be. If you are looking for a great wedding planner, we would highly recommend her!

Understands the Needs and Wants of her clients!!

From our first consultation call with Courtney-Rose, we instinctively knew she’d be perfect for us - someone local who was professional, stylish, knowledgeable on modern trends, organized, and above all, someone we could trust. At the time, we were living out-of-state, moving, and starting new careers, so we definitely needed her help!

This was all reaffirmed when we had our first in-person meeting with a difficult vendor. She immediately sensed our discomfort, and effortlessly went into damage-control mode. Since that meeting, she guided us seamlessly through the pandemic until our wedding date with recommended vendors who fit our aesthetic and budget needs (2 rescheduled dates, and multiple new vendors later!).

In any appointments or email, she is always engaging, thorough, asking the right questions, and following up with us to ensure deadlines were met. Many times I forgot to respond to follow ups, but she was on-top of her game and especially, made sure we stayed excited for our wedding in times of stress!

If you want your wedding vision to come true with as little stress as possible, hire Courtney-Rose! We were sad this whole wedding was over!! She makes it an exciting journey.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
