Best of the best

The Handy & Dallaire Team is truly amazing. From the very beginning of the process in helping us brainstorm and figure out our vision to the day of coordinating between venues, the team did an amazing job. Every detail was handled with care, from our wedding website, table scapes, vendor introductions, room blocks, logistics, and more. The team will help you bring your vision to life while elevating that vision and making you feel at ease every step of the way. Wedding planning can be stressful, but not with the Handy & Dallaire Team by your side!

Picture perfect wedding thanks to the Handy & Dallaire Events team!

If you’re looking for a wedding planner in Nantucket, the Handy & Dallaire Events team is truly the best of the best. From day one, they were easy to work with and helped us to execute on our vision every step of the way. Weddings can be stressful, but it was honestly easy and fun with David, Donald and Katie’s guidance. The end result was more than a dream come true. The greatest decision my husband and I made was working with this team!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend Events

From our initial conversation with David, we knew Handy Dallaire would be a great fit for our daughter's wedding on Nantucket. David, Donald and Katie bring unique individual talents and expertise to the planning process. They work seamlessly together and are quick to respond to any issues (small or large) that develop. They are very well known and respected in the community on Nantucket and work well with all the various vendors. We were thrilled with the way our daughter's wedding weekend came together and would highly recommend Handy Dallaire Events.

Absolutely incredible!

By the fall of 2021 we were smart enough to hire Handy & Dallaire for our wedding planners for our September 2021 wedding. Destination weddings are always tricky and the stress of uncertainty during that time with the pandemic could have made planning our wedding extremely stressful; but thankfully we met the Handy and Dallaire team and quickly realized we were in excellent hands!

The level of professionalism, attentiveness, incredible taste level and most of all kindness that we experienced during this planning process was greatly appreciated and allowed us to enjoy the entire experience.

Their reputation on Nantucket Island and the relationships that they have built with all of the vendors was crucial when it came to managing every little detail. Their taste level is exquisite... from table décor, to florals, to music selection and more....everything was beyond our expectation!!!....and trust me we have high expectations...LOL!!

With all of these incredible attributes, the single most significant benefit of the H&D Team on our side was that they truly gave us the gift of time. Because of our faith in them and because we knew that they would take care of everything in the manner in which we discussed and desired, it allowed us to enjoy each and every moment of this extraordinary weekend. It allowed for honest family moments of pure joy and for this we are truly blessed and incredible grateful!

They absolute best of the best!

Working with them was a dream come true! David, Donald, and Katie were the best wedding team we could have asked for. They made planning a wedding feel fun and easy when it can often times feel incredibly hard. They truly listened to what we had to say and then came to us and presented us with exactly what we wanted and MORE! Each of them are professional and ultimately so kind. It was also so amazing to watch David, Donald, and Katie work together in their roles in order to bring everything to life. They are all so talented and are the very best at what they do. Not to mention, we left every meeting laughing and so excited for the next phase of the planning process. We feel truly so connected with them and look forward to maintaining a relationship with them. We couldn't have done it without them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
