We originally hired Donna to plan a 200+ person wedding in New Orleans. She was already an amazing partner from day one—super organized, responsive, and easy to work with. But where she really shined was in the face of chaos. A few months into planning, we got the surprise of our lives: we were expecting a baby, and the due date? The same week as our wedding. Cue the panic.

Without hesitation, Donna stayed by my side as we scrapped the original plan and started over from scratch. I decided to move the wedding up significantly and relocate it to Massachusetts. Donna didn’t just say yes—she got on board, traveled with us, and helped us replan the entire wedding in just 12 weeks, on a tighter budget, without sacrificing any quality. She helped us make every dollar count and somehow made it all look effortless. I truly could not have pulled it off without her.

She became more than a planner—she became a trusted friend. Donna is calm under pressure, endlessly patient, and a total blast to work with. She handled every detail flawlessly—timelines, vendor wrangling, family dynamics—you name it.

And when we thought the drama was behind us… the day of our new wedding, my husband had a sudden allergic reaction. He was throwing up and swelling up mid-wedding. Donna literally sprinted out, hit two stores, and returned with Benadryl like a superhero. She saved the day. The venue gave us an extra hour, and Donna immediately helped us reshuffle transportation, music, and food so we could keep the party going. I still don’t know how she does it.

Whether you’re a super Type A bride (hi, that was me) or more of a last-minute planner, Donna will meet you where you are and take it to the next level. She’s smart, resourceful, incredibly well-connected, and worth 10x what she charges. Book her now before someone else does—you’ll thank yourself a hundred times over.

Donna is absolutely the most amazing wedding coordinator!! She was always there to answer every question we had, she provided great recommendations for other vendors, and made sure we had the best time at our wedding! She genuinely wants your day to be enjoyable and worry free! Donna made us feel so at ease and we were very comfortable and confident knowing that she was on top of everything. She is super organized and extremely knowledgeable. We are beyond grateful to her and her assistant Alyssa for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!!

Donna at Revel & Co. was my guardian angel for 2020! I was referred to her by my venue (The Elms Mansion in New Orleans) and cannot say enough about how amazing she is! She curated a planning package to help with my budget, and was so much more reasonable than many other Nola wedding coordinators. She was only supposed to work with me "the month of" my wedding, but she stuck with me for 9 months; helping me reschedule TWICE during the pandemic. She was truly a Godsend for this stressed out ER healthcare worker! Whether your budget is $5,000 or $150,000, she can help you make your dream wedding a reality! She and her team we were with me every step of the way, never making me feel like a bridezilla. Hiring her was the BEST decision I made for myself and our wedding. Don't make your friends/family work on your wedding day, hire Revel & Co. to make your special day spectacular!

Donna and her team with Revel and Company are AMAZING! I am originally from New Orleans, but don't live there anymore. I thought long & hard about hiring a wedding planner and fitting that expense into my budget, and I am SO GLAD we chose to work with Donna! Seriously, it may have been one of the best decisions we made. We LOVED her from the moment we met her (including my mom!) She was so proactive, super responsive, and really "got" my vision and helped bring it to life. I am a worrier by nature but I felt 100% stress free on wedding day because I knew she had thought out every detail and had it all taken care of. She also had some great tips & vendor recommendations to save money in areas that were less important to us, and she just seems to simplify everything! It was such a great experience getting to know and work with her!

The BEST, honestly. I really don't know where to begin when it comes to Revel & Co. Events LLC! If it had not been for Donna and her team, I am not sure if my wedding would have happened, seriously. I was planning a destination wedding in NOLA from Florida, during a worldwide pandemic and then the week of my wedding a category 4 storm, Hurricane Delta, was projected to hit NOLA! Y'all, my anxiety severe, but I had Donna - so all was well. She was the definition of prepared, she had plans A, B, C, D, E, F - I kid you not. The pricing for events is more than fair and flexible to fit any type of event whether it is a small intimate gathering or a larger, grandiose affair. She is personable and was perfect to keep my Groom and his Groomsmen in line the day of! She is professional and very organized but also so friendly and down to earth you will feel like you've known her for years. Donna's knowledge of her venues, vendors, decor and great photo ops is incomparable. She had recommendations for everything and every vendor I contacted spoke highly of Donna! Donna plays no games about her Brides and/or Guests of Honor, be clear on that. She will make sure it is right and if it isn’t, she will get it right with a quickness. I really could go on and on about how much I adore this company. If you are considering Revel & Co., please, stop hesitating and contact them! You will not regret it one bit. I am forever indebted to Donna and forever a supporter!

Donna was incredible in helping me navigate my Covid wedding! She proactively checked in as the situation was unfolding months before to see how I was doing and what she could help with. We ended up sticking with our original date and venue, but had to make many changes to the vendors, logistics, etc. given the circumstances, and she was so helpful in providing suggestions and advice along the way. I had trouble getting ahold of some of my vendors, and Donna was more than willing to step in and handle them for me to take it off my plate. The day went perfectly, and I don’t know how I could have done it without her!!!

We were so glad we hired Revel and Company to help us make our wedding day smooth and enjoyable. Donna and her team are amazing!  We chose the "month of coordination." Donna met with us before our big day, at the venue, so we could go over details and plans. You can tell she's experienced and is in her element. She was so helpful - always quick to respond to any questions we had, gave us great advice in several different areas, and was just so friendly. She's a joy to work with and be around. A day or two before the wedding, she came and picked up all the things we had put together and needed at the reception and ceremony - like memory table pictures, favors, the sign in book and polaroid's to go with that, special cocktail napkins we were using, etc. Having her take that to the venue and have it all taken care of and put in it's place on the day of was a huuuge help. She helped us coordinate the rehearsal and even took pictures on her phone that she gave us later. All around, we recommend her. We can't say enough how much she helped us and how much of a great addition to any wedding she is. You will be so glad you hired and worked with her.

Thank you Donna Bruner and Team for the most amazing DAY and Night of our lives. Everything was professional, well-organized, fun, and thoughtful! Your communication through out the process was OUTSTANDING! We will continue to recommend you to any future couples that are getting married! Thank you for being there every step of the way, even when I walked down the isle the wrong way ;)!! Thank you for taking a lot of the STRESS away from my wife as well! We love you and thank you again!

Oh my gosh. Donna Bruner is the best, plain and simple! First and foremost, Donna is just the loveliest woman: warm, kind, thoughtful, accommodating, and SO generous. So it’s no wonder that with all of these qualities and more, she makes the best wedding planner! When my now-husband and I decided that we wanted to plan a mini-destination wedding in New Orleans (we’re New Yorkers), we knew we were going to need on-the-ground help. Donna was just the support we needed. Donna is so knowledgable about all things wedding-related, including all the specific quirks that come with planning a wedding in New Orleans (who knew police permits for parades were a thing!). She was so helpful at helping us identify the best vendors for our style and budget, and helped us negotiate discounts and avoid deals that simply didn’t make sense for us. During our trips to town, she would offer us rides around town to see vendors, always giving us her undivided attention, and always making us feel special and heard. Also, feels like a given but worth mentioning: she is SOOO on it! Nothing fell through the cracks on her watch (I definitely could NOT be trusted with the same lol!). All in all: our wedding would not have happened without Donna. My only regret is that I can’t give her more than 5 stars!! We recommend her wholeheartedly.

From my first conversation with Donna, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with to plan our daughter's wedding. Her knowledge was invaluable and her close attention to detail was just second nature. She's the type of person that just gets things done, including last minute requests; she's just unflappable! We can't thank her enough for the amazing job she did to give our daughter the most beautiful wedding day!!
