Stress free Bride!

From the moment we met Danica over Zoom, we felt comfortable and a form of relief that she’d guide us through the minor things people do not talk about. Her attitude was great and we could tell we could count on her.

Danica and her assistant were AMAZING! As soon as they arrived on site on our wedding day, it was go time! These ladies make this challenging job look so easy and for that we give them so much props and a big THANK YOU! They both truly took HUGE weight off our shoulders on our wedding day. We are truly very happy and relieved Danica made it all happen. My husband and I have already recommended Danicas expertise to our friends and family.

We hope to work with Danica in the future for other major events❤️

Wonderful wedding 12/16/2023

I am absolutely delighted to share my exceptional experience with the dynamic duo of wedding coordination, Danica and her assistant Casey. Their professionalism, kindness, and impeccable organizational skills earned them a well-deserved 5/5 stars for orchestrating our wedding day flawlessly. Being a DIY bride, I had the pleasure of working closely with Danica in the lead-up to the big day. She was an absolute gem, meticulously going through a detailed timeline with me and ensuring that every DIY element was set up exactly as I envisioned. Danica's attention to detail and commitment to making my vision come to life was truly commendable. On the day of the wedding, Danica and Casey's coordination skills were nothing short of remarkable. They maintained a perfect balance of professionalism and kindness, keeping everyone on schedule without a hint of stress. Danica's expertise in liaising with vendors ensured that everything ran smoothly, and she consistently checked in to make sure we were on track throughout the day. When it came to photos, Danica's organizational skills shone through. She efficiently organized everyone to ensure we captured all the desired moments. Her ability to coordinate large groups for photos was truly impressive, and it added to the smooth flow of the day. One standout moment was when my dress bustle unexpectedly broke. Without skipping a beat, Danica swiftly handled the situation, reaching into her emergency kit and seamlessly sewing it back together. Her quick thinking and preparedness saved the day, showcasing her expertise in handling unexpected challenges with grace. Danica's communication leading up to the event was excellent. Her helpful insights and proactive approach provided immense support throughout the planning process. The entire team, led by Danica and Casey, worked seamlessly to keep the day together, allowing us to enjoy every moment without any stress. In conclusion, if you're searching for a day-of wedding coordinator who combines professionalism, kindness, and exceptional organizational skills, look no further than Danica. Her expertise, attention to detail, and ability to handle unexpected situations make them an asset to any wedding. I am immensely grateful for her contribution to our special day!
