Dana Makes Dreams Comes True!!!!!!

Booking Dana was the best decision we made for our wedding weekend in Rehoboth. She was absolutely incredible, organized, proactive, calm under pressure, and truly on top of every single detail. We had a huge wedding and a huge welcome party, requiring us to bring in every vendor ourselves, so she essentially helped us plan two weddings in one weekend.

With 300 guests, endless logistics, unpredictable weather, and me changing my mind more than once, Dana was always one step ahead with a thoughtful backup plan ready to go. I really wanted to lean into the beachy feel of the weekend, but since I’m not from the area, I had no familiarity with local vendors. Dana’s recommendations were fantastic and helped bring the entire vision to life in such a special way.

Despite all the moving parts, Dana made the entire weekend feel completely seamless and flawless. I truly can’t recommend her enough. Dana, thank you for making our wedding weekend everything we dreamed of and more!!!!

Made my wedding day as stress free as possible. We couldn’t have done it without Dana!

Hiring happy hour events was the single greatest decision we made about our wedding. Dana made the process so easy that I always felt like I was forgetting to do something. The wedding day itself was absolutely seamless. Not a single thing went wrong and everything flowed according to plan. This was solely because of happy hour events. Thank you for making our wedding day as great as it was!

A true professional

Our wedding went as smoothly as possible and Dana was a major reason why. We leaned on her experience and connections beforehand and the day-of, and she knew exactly the right strings to pull at the right time.

She saved the day!

Dana was the hero of the day. Any issue that came up she handled with grace and poise. We never could have had our special day without her! If you are even considering a wedding planner please reach out to her. She will help you to make your dream not only a reality but help it to be beyond what you ever could have imagined!

A life saver.

There is no way this wedding would have happened without Dana (and her staff). Very knowledgeable, has a good working relationship with all the vendors, and punctual. Zero issues dealing with her from out of state, very accommodating, and flexible.

Couldn't have done it without her

Dana, was awesome. We hired her for my daughter's wedding. She always answered her her phone whenever I called in a panic. She responded right away to texts and emails. She took our plans and made them so much better. She has all the right connections and pulled things together very quickly. As the mother of the bride, I was able to sit back and enjoy and that meant the world to me. The peace of mind that she gave me and my daughter is priceless. I hope she is available for my other daughter's wedding....whenever that happens :)

In good hands!

With a tight budget, my fiancé and I did all of our planning with the help of our parents. To ensure that we could all enjoy the day and not worry about needing to be everywhere at once, we decided to hire Dana. She helped with coordinating our rehearsal and our wedding day. We handed her the baton and she handled everything like a pro. She brought us peace of mind and was well worth it. I can only imagine that she would knock it out of the park with anything else. She knows exactly what she’s doing and does it with a calm and positive attitude.

Dana was an absolute joy to work with. Not only did she ensure the big day was flawless she also made my life as the bride easy and less stressful as the planning unfolded in rapid fire. She has access to the most incredible vendors in noblewood florals and Brooke our fabulous model make up artist and hair stylist extraordinaire and the worlds best dj messy Marv!! Thanks again Dana.

Get ready for next year we have decided to repeat the event each anniversary from here on out

Dana did my makeup and all my girls makeup and literally went above and beyond to make everyone feel so beautiful. I was feel super defeated after my adult acne flared up the week before my wedding and she literally made my face look absolutely FLAWLESS! She is an angel to work with and by herself was able to do myself, my mom, MIL and 8 bridesmaids in just a few short hours!!! Her knowledge goes so far above just making you look great, she knows this industry INSIDE AND OUT!! If you can get the chance to book her DO IT!! She is INCREDIBLE!! THANK YOU DANA!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
