Could not have done this without Rebecca

It was an absolutely amazing experience with Rebecca as our wedding planner! From start to finish, she was professional, organized, and incredibly attentive to every detail. We booked her full service planning and I’m so glad we did. She took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. No request was too big or small, and she always had a solution for any challenge that arose. Her calm demeanor and expertise kept us at ease throughout the entire process. On the big day, everything went flawlessly—thanks to Rebecca's meticulous planning and seamless coordination. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to help us create the wedding of our dreams. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier planner who goes above and beyond!

Rebecca from Danzante is amazing for your Santa Cruz/Bay area wedding

My wife and I met Rebecca in a completely serendipitous fashion, while touring one of our venue options. After chatting briefly and exchanging info, we knew pretty immediately that she was a genuinely easygoing planner who had tons of experience to offer, particularly for the Santa Cruz area.

Rebecca took our small pile of ideas and turned it into a real wedding vision after just our first meeting. She was chock full of seasoned advice for us, a couple that was excited but very out of our league.

The planning process was very organized, Rebecca is a master of the tools of her trade like google sheets and Canva. She kept us up to date on what we should be locking in next, from vendors to dresses to rehearsal dinner reservations.

All of Rebecca's vendor recommendations were amazing and professional: she keeps a tight network of folks she's worked with before and they all have nothing but good things to say about her as well.

She knew how to strike the perfect balance of maintaining our original vision but also offer suggestions the whole way through, to spark our imagination.

Once the big day was imminent, she stayed in very close communication with us, inventorying and checking everything to make sure that it was all set and we wouldn’t have to worry about any of it during the event.

At rehearsal, she laid down the law with our rowdy wedding party and got us through everything in a clear and efficient manner.

During the wedding itself, Rebecca moved fluidly all throughout the venue and adapted to the small issues that sometimes happen on wedding days with no issue. Our family and guests didn’t need to worry about any of the set up logistics, her and her crew were quick and agile placing and putting away all our decorations.

All in all, Rebecca is a great planner and a great person. She is everything you want in a planner, our day would not have been nearly as perfect without her excellent help. Thank you Rebecca.

✨ Dream wedding? Check! 💍 If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond to make your vision a reality, Danzante Events is the right choice!

Are you looking for someone who has the skillset and expertise to pull off your dream wedding? Who’ll happily answer all your questions, big & small? Make decisions for you when you are being indecisive & struggling to commit? That’ll take the time to listen to all your nuptial dreams & wishes and make it into reality? All while trying to convince you to stay within your budget?

Well look no further, you’ve found her! Hiring Rebecca was the absolute best choice I made in regards to my wedding!

Every step of the way, Rebecca was ready to do whatever was needed in order to make sure that our wedding day was perfect—from consistently following up with a not-very-responsive local farm that we insisted we wanted our wedding cake from to chasing the management of our favorite restaurant for their cocktail recipe for our signature drinks, and much more!

She designed & executed a beautiful wedding for us(at a venue she was working with for the first time!) and I’m still amazed at how she made our vision come to life! She is extremely organized, has a huge heart and will do everything in her power to ensure your special day goes perfectly. I was amazed when my wedding week came and I was perfectly at ease—because I knew Rebecca was going to pull it all together, I could spend my time focusing on my fiancé & family, my final errands, and practicing my first dance with my soon-to-be husband.

Before I hired Rebecca I was convinced that I could handle doing the majority of the planning for our wedding, but at the end of the day hiring a full service wedding planner & designer as great as Rebecca was worth every penny (and then some) to make the process as enjoyable & stress-free as possible.

A few more things I am super appreciative for:
- After we had settled on a vendor & order for our rentals, Rebecca managed to find another rental vendor who had more affordable lounge furniture & additional decor that really took our wedding to the next level from a design perspective. We ended up getting more for less money!
- Went above and beyond in making sure that our wedding cake turned out the way I wanted when our vendor was not able to do the final touches onsite.
- Recommended great vendors who were trusted and contributed make our wedding weekend perfect. At the same time—she did not at all push us towards her recommended vendors
- Always asked if there was anything she could help us with and even got involved when some last minute family drama came up during our wedding weekend.
- When I wasn’t happy with the initial floral vendors we met with and was planning on settling on the best choice from a budget perspective instead of continuing looking—she insisted that we should keep on looking until I found a vendor I loved (at the end of the day, I am SO happy about this—our florals were amazing and we received so many compliments on them).
- When our plan for chargers fell through, she drove over the hill and into SF to pick up chargers from a different vendor who had the exact ones we needed to match the overall wedding asthetic.
- Coordinated not only our wedding, but our rehearsal dinner and welcome reception as well!

I’m sure there are more things that I have missed adding to this list—but do you really need any more convincing? You won’t be able to find anyone more dedicated or experienced than Rebecca—so if you’re debating if she’s the right choice, I hope this helps you make your decision!

Last but not least, working and meeting with Rebecca felt like getting together with a friend—she always had an open ear and was happy to head about the details about our lives and progress(i.e did she really need to know about what we did on our bachelorette & bachelors’ trips or that I picked my dress & my fiancé set an appointment with a tux rental company —no—but she was happy and excited to hear the details). I’m sure that if you hire Danzante Events as your planner/designer/coordinator you won’t be disappointed, and just like myself, it will be the best vendor choice that you make!

Rebecca is a lifesaver

All I have to say is I wouldn't have survived wedding planning or or wedding day without Rebecca and her team. Rebecca was absolutely amazing helping me plan everything, thinking of things that I never would have thought of, helping me to deal with last-minute stressors, and managing our day perfectly. So many people came up to me to tell me how awesome our wedding planner was, and how well-run everything was at our wedding. We are SO appreciative. She knows all the other vendors in the area, and had fantastic suggestions for who we used. She also knew our venue really well, so helped us iron out all the little details that needed to be figured out.

I don't think I realized how much goes into planning a wedding before I planned my own wedding, and there's no way we could have done it without Rebecca! I was really stressed before our wedding with all of the last minute prep, and Rebecca knew exactly what needed to happen and helped me feel so taken care of. The day of the wedding I literally didn't worry about anything because her team was so on top of it, we had a perfect magical day!

The best there is!

The best decision we made when planning our wedding, hands down, was to work with Rebecca and her team at Danzante Events. Without her, our wedding day wouldn’t have been the magical and whimsical day it was. She set us up with the tools we needed to make our day unforgettable, including an incredible list of vendors that she consistently works with. Everyone she helped us get in touch with was fantastic, and we were able to find the perfect match for the vibes we wanted while staying within our budget.

Leading up to our wedding, she was invaluable as we curated the design and atmosphere for our wedding. She took the time to get to know us and, through that, was able to help us put into words the aesthetic we wanted for our day. This made our conversations with our vendors easy and ensured we received precisely what we wanted for our special day.

In the final week before our wedding, the forecast turned to rain. With Rebecca’s help, we were able to quickly pivot and turn an outdoor wedding into a partially outdoor and tented event without breaking our budget. I can’t imagine having to accomplish this alone without her expertise and guidance.

And on our wedding day, it rained all day, never stopping. But the rain couldn’t compete with Rebecca. She and her team handled it all for us so that we could enjoy our time with our friends, family, and especially each other.

We cannot recommend Danzante Events enough. Rebeccas is personable and professional, and we are delighted to have worked with her for our wedding. She goes above and beyond five-star service, and we are so grateful to her and the amazing day she made for us.
