This Is Your Sign to Book DSE

If I could rate 1000 stars, I would! I still have family members and friends talking about the excellent job Dayna and Shanda did and we got married over a month ago!
I interviewed a few other wedding planners before I found out about Dayna and they never felt like a good fit. While (most of them) were friendly, they just never made me feel confident. Then I found Dayna and after the first phone call, she lifted a weight off my shoulders! Talking to Dayna put me at ease and I knew we would be in good hands on our wedding day!
The weeks leading up to our wedding, Dayna was available to answer any questions we had and help us out. We had family drama going on beforehand and she even gave advice on how to navigate that without hurting anyone's feelings. I was also really concerned about our timeline and coordinating that with all of our vendors, I reached out to Dayna and within a few hours she had a timeline for us!
The week of the wedding, Dayna reached out to me several times just to check on me and make sure I was okay and reassured me that everything was going to be perfect!
I can't even explain how fantastic they were on our wedding day. I never got a chance to see all of our decor together before the wedding and I let Dayna freestyle it and she made everything look STUNNING! Dayna checked on me several times throughout the night to make sure I was okay and if I needed anything. She even would catch my eye contact if I needed pulled away from a situation. Their level of professionalism was top notch! I wish I had another event that I could use Dayna and her team for, they were that amazing!

The Best Right Here!

I didn't get to work with Dayna, but Shanda was amazing! After several months of planning, several decorative ideas, and a few hiccups along the way, our day was truly amazing. I personally do not know how these ladies get through these events without pulling their hair out, but I do know that it takes a special kind of person to do this work. It isn't easy, but Shanda and Dayna make it look like a walk in the park! They brought my vision to life and EVERONE stated that it was the best wedding they'd ever attended! So, THANK YOU LADIES for everything that you did to help us pull this off! THE BEST PLANNING SERVICE EVER!

Dayna and team are incredible!

Dayna and her team were a dream to work with! We were really torn on hiring a day-of coordinator, but our venue required same day set up and tear down and we were stressed about how that was going to happen without us or our friends and family having to bear that burden.

In comes Dayna! She made the decision so easy. As soon as we finished our consultation call, we knew we wanted to hire her. She calmed all of my worries throughout the planning process, answered all of our big and small questions, and was such a big help overall. Her team was equally as helpful the day of with decorating and packing everything up at the end. She worked with all of our other vendors and the venue beautifully.

They were truly just so attentive to us and every detail of our wedding and personable and helpful I don't know how we would have pulled our day off without any issues without them.

Above and beyond!

Where do I even begin? Dayna is not only an incredibly talented day of coordinator, she is also the most genuinely kind approachable person I think I've ever met. I got married this past weekend and we seriously could not have had as magical of a day without her. She tied up all of our loose ends, was there for whatever we needed and made sure that we stayed on schedule. You can not go wrong hiring this wonderful woman.

Dayna is the absolute best!!

Wow, I am truly so happy I hired Dayna and her team to coordinate our wedding weekend. She was there for me during the planning (and rescheduling) process to sound ideas, check-in with me, and then truly nail everything during the wedding weekend. When she says she is there to help with ANYTHING, she is truly there to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to make your day perfect. I cannot recommend her and the team enough to have with you on your big day. Hiring a day-of coordination team is so worth it because even if your venue has a coordinator, their first priority is the venue and the event, not always you. Dayna will be by your side throughout the entire day to ensure you have everything YOU need, make sure everything is on track and running smoothly, and handling things so you can have a worry-free wedding day. Thanks to Dayna and her team for making our day perfect!!

Get Dayna and never worry about a thing!

Dayna was incredible, y'all! She was a professional and could not have been more accommodating and POSITIVE the entire time she worked with us. She came to our house, took notes and pictures of everything we wanted done, gladly accepted videos of how we wanted things, and most importantly, executed on every single one of our requests. She didn't forget a single thing and even reminded us of everything we'd forgotten. She and Shanda were both there, ready and willing to do anything we needed on our big day, and because of her, I didn't want or need for anything. Cassie and I could not be happier - and that's saying a lot when you're dealing with not one, but two brides! She's A BALL OF FUN TOO! Made us laugh, smile, and relax throughout our incredibly stressful wedding weekend. @Dayna, you're incredible and I wish you tons of luck and great success in your continued business as a planner and coordinator. If we need anything in the future, you're our first phone call!

Dayna is awesome!!

I had A LOT of DIY so a day-of-coordinator was a necessity for me. However, I was trying to stay reasonable with the price. Dayna came recommended to me. I had an introductory call with her and I was sold. She is so kind and professional in ALL situations. Literally, always willing to help and SO, SO responsive. Even my fiance commented on how quickly she responds to texts. This was the case from the moment I hired her. She helped me with any and ALL questions (like how many customized bev naps do I order?) My officiant did not show up to my rehearsal, but Dayna did, and she handled the situation and helped us get through the rehearsal. The day of my wedding, I wasn't there to see the set-up, but my fiance was, and he told me how hard Dayna and her crew were working to get everything put together for our wedding. Then, at the wedding itself, my sister/MOH commented how when she finally saw Dayna get a chance to grab food, she commended how well Dayna did that day and Dayna jumped up and asked if anyone needed anything. Meanwhile, we were like NO please just eat something!!!! She is just non-stop; enthusiastic; professional; kind; encouraging; and going to get it DONE for you. Get yourself a Dayna Scott!!!!

Best Day Ever!

Dayna, was a huge help on my wedding day!! When I hired Dayna I had about a month to go until my bid day but I knew I needed a little bit more help! Dayna, came in and helped in a big way!! She helped me find a bartender and someone to marry me and my now husband!! The way her and her assistant set up my parents backyard too was a dream!! We had some hiccups on the big day but Dayna was right there to help!! With her ideas we were able to transform my parents backyard into an elegant wedding! I didn’t have a single worry on my wedding day because I had Dayna by my side!! She was even there to ride me to the salon for my hair lol!! She’s the best!!

Flawless Service

Dayna was the wedding coordinator for my best friend’s wedding and as the MOH I couldn’t have been more thankful. Us MOH’s need a go-to person too so we can stay by our brides side and keep her happy and stress- free. I was so impressed with how Dayna & Shanda quickly put out small fires all day, making the day go so smooth. So, fast forward 5 months when my best friend and I were planning a gender reveal party for my first baby, we knew we needed Dayna to help so we could live in the moment and enjoy the day with friends and family. It was nice not having to worry about the little things that feel like big things during a party (decorations, food & drink replenishment, & last minute hiccups). Dayna’s husband even dressed up like Santa Claus, it was epic. Dayna always goes above and beyond for her clients and by the end of your event and planning, she is your new bestie. Thank you Dayna for your flawless service 💕

My New Friend!

Amazing. When Ingot engaged last summer everyone said book her! She is so knowledgeable and helpful. Have a question about place setting? She will email you 3 examples with in minutes. That was the fun part. The Covid happened. She has been my saving grace. She knows how to keep brides calm but be there for them. During this stressful time EVERYONE has an opinion on what you should do. But she reminds me that the most important part is people are me and my fiance. I email this poor girl daily and she always finds time for me. Honestly she feels like a friend to me now. And I have never even met her in person yet because I am planning everything out of state. No matter what happens with my wedding I know the best thing I did was hire Dayna Scott.
