    Vanessa and Gabby are the BEST!

    I am not local to the Baltimore area so I knew I had to find a planner who I could trust and could support me from afar. I found Dailey Forte after doing some research in the planners on the area and am so happy I did! Vanessa and Gabby are a great team and were consistently available when I needed them. They ensured I understood the entire process, timing and provided wonderful referrals for vendors. One thing I also really appreciated was that they allowed me to be myself, focus on what I was looking for but also challenged me to think outside the box on that vision I had for the day, and helped me pick out some really beautiful, unique aspects that ended up making our wedding look better than I could imagine and I would've never chosen for myself. On the actual day of my wedding, Vanessa was a true god send, she helped me remain calm (despite some unexpected rain and last minute change of an outdoor ceremony) and reminded me that she had everything under control but most importantly she ensured that my husband and I were able to actually enjoy the day! I am eternally grateful to Dailey Forte for bringing my vision to life. Vanessa and Gabby, THANK YOU!!!!

    If you need a planner in the Baltimore area, go Dailey Forte!!!!

    Superb Wedding Planners!

    Working with Gabby and Vanessa was a wonderful experience from our first friendly conversation with them through the day of our wedding. They worked with us every step of the way and handled several special requests with ease, including arranging wheelchair transportation for our elderly parents. They were always available via email, text or phone call if we had any questions or concerns. Their recommended vendors (DJ, florist, invitations, officiant, and photographer) provided excellent service at reasonable prices and were easy to work with during the lead up to our wedding day. When there was some confusion about blocking hotel rooms at several different locations they stepped in and took care of the problem for us.

    They were always very open to any thoughts or suggestions we had and gave us several ideas and tweaks that we incorporated into the ceremony and reception. Gabby was with us for 10+ hours on our wedding day and made sure we and our families had anything we needed and that everything stayed on schedule along the way. We were able to relax and enjoy our special day thanks to their hard work along the way.

    In short, Gabby and Vanessa are simply the best.

    Df designs is amazing

    We had the privilege of working with Dailey Forte Designs and specifically Gabby on our wedding day for all of our day of coordination needs and absolutely loved our experience! We were able to meet a month earlier to discuss our timeline and get everything locked into place. From there, Gabby and Vanessa really took over and made the few weeks before the wedding as stress free for us as possible. They are organized, fun, communicative, and just so easy to work with. Everything was on time and just perfect thanks to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    No regrets

    I originally wasn’t planning on hiring a planner or a coordinator because I’m a fairly organized person and figured I could do it myself. However, about three months before my wedding I realized I could really use some professional help. I worked with Vanessa and she was very organized and helped create a very detailed timeline that was executed seamlessly the day of. I was also worried about my mom at the wedding because of her health, and she went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable multiple times throughout the evening. I am so happy I decided to have a wedding planner, and even happier that Vanessa was available on my date.

    Best Day Ever!

    We were thrilled with how our wedding turned out. Gabby and Vanessa were a huge part of the day being so wonderful. Even if you are organized and think you can handle it, you do not know how much goes into making this day so amazing and having 2 people there with you every step of the way brings so much less stress.

    There are so many moving parts to planning a wedding and they interacted with the vendors, asking questions I would never even thought of. They are patient and calm and know what they are doing. On the wedding day, I was completely present for my daughter because I knew these ladies had it covered. We are fans!

    I cannot say enough about these two ladies. They were god sent to us. They calmed me down when I was nervous about my daughter’s wedding. They were calm, patient, experienced and simply there for us. They had great ideas in every aspect. Honest and decent. I love them

    Dailey Forte Designs - The relief I needed.

    I can not put into words the amount of admiration I have for Vanessa & Gabby at Dailey Forte Designs. Although I was not planning a wedding, I was tasked with multiple large events for our associates at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital within a months span. Dailey Forte Designs helped me with everything for our Associate Service Awards and I couldn't be more happier with their services. Immediately after our first consult I knew I would be in great hands! Gabby & Vanessa were on top of everything for me down to the smallest details. While I was stressing about other events I knew for sure the breakfast and luncheon were taken care of. I was impressed by the amount of contacts and relationships these women have with awesome vendors who turned our warehouse into a beautiful space that even wowed our President / CEO and executive team members. Thank you Gabby & Vanessa and I pray we are able to work together again soon!

    Exactly the Service I Needed

    My wedding was.... well, unique. We were already married, so there was no ceremony. In fact, the only traditional aspects that we really kept were food, dancing, and speeches. Other than that it was a complicated, tailored party at a brewery for 150 people. I met with a few wedding planners, and some of them just didn't really see my vision. My wedding had a lot of moving parts, much of which was home-made or individualized. I needed a team that would say yes to my 3 or 4 "musts" and then advise on ways and best practices to see through the rest, all while keeping it low-key and as stress-free as possible. They reviewed the contracts and organized all the vendors I already had in line, and recommended vendors to fill in the remaining open spots (who performed wonderfully with only a few weeks to go.)

    I didn't need a planner who "told" me what I needed. I needed a planner who helped me organize my requests, without adding more than I wanted or needed, without making it too fancy (I'm sure they can do fancy if that's what you want, I just wanted something more trendy and unique, and other planners' attempts to put me in a box were terrifying), and most importantly, all while managing sometimes conflicting communications from my mother and I. Seriously, they came in exactly when we needed them, did what we asked and more, and made the process a lot less daunting. Plus, the day-of was beautiful. I'm so thankful they were there to organize my day-of.

    The Best! Why Even Look to Anyone Else…

    Dailey Forte Designs were incredible planners. They really put my fiancé and I at ease throughout the entire process. Every detail was thought about and planned accordingly. Execution of the event was flawless (at least it felt that way… and that’s all that matters). All of our friends and families raved about our wedding, and that’s thanks to Gabby and Vanessa.

    Truly the best around given their collective experience, fun and professional demeanor, and absolutely worth every penny!

    Perfect Day!

    Working with Gabby and Vanessa was incredible. They helped us plan our wedding every step of the way — providing recommendations for vendors, giving advice when needed, and managing all emails and vendor coordination. Their support was invaluable as we live out of state. On top of all of that they managed the entire day of the wedding perfectly — I cannot imagine our wedding without them. We were able to truly feel relaxed and calm throughout the entire day knowing Gabby & Vanessa had everything handled. They also adjusted the wedding day timeline seamlessly when anything unexpected arose. We seriously could not have had such a perfect day without them!

    The girls were so helpful and kind during the craziness of wedding planning. We used their partial planning package. They made our day run so smoothly. They were always there for any question or need we had.

    Saved. My. Day (and my sanity)

    I LOVE GABBY AND VANESSA. I love them. I will give them my first born if they ask. They were amazing. They saved my day. I had some really awful vendors and a really complicated schedule because of other work related, family related life events. They swooped in and cooridnated everything. They took over all the emails, all the timelines, all the phone calls/texts, all the back up plans, and the crisis mode. They navigated my very annoying DJ, they held my dress so it didn't get messed up, they check on me constantly making sure I was happy, fed, and sufficiently with drink.
    They saw me drowning in plans and they were the world's biggest help on the day. It was the best.
    Even before the wedding, they made suggestions and coordinated contacts.
    If I could do my day over, I would want these beautiful and professional women by my side, adjusting my dress (in their awesome matching black outfits)
    I would recommend to anyone over and over

    Professional, organized, easy to work with!

    Gabby and Vanessa were wonderful to work with. They were organized, professional, knowledgeable and fun. I was on the fence about hiring planners, but they were well worth the investment, especially for the peace of mind on my wedding day. They were efficient and helped everyone stay on track, timewise. I also chose them because of their experience working with my venue, which came in handy. I still had to keep an eye on things, and there were some details that needed correcting (e.g. misspelled guest names, reversed chronology for some of the events on the day schedule, linen and china choices, etc.), but they were prompt in remedying those when I signaled them. All in all, I recommend them to anyone interested in a well-run, and I wish them the very best with future endeavors!

    Dailey Forte is the BEST

    To say we highly recommend Dailey Forte's services is an understatement. We contracted with them to plan our daughter's wedding which, in addition to the typical challenges, included a bride and groom in a different time zone and the onset of the pandemic. Were it not for Vanessa and Gabby's professionalism and expertise, the resulting two postponements and extensive reconfiguration of the original celebration would have been overwhelming.

    The experience with Dailey Forte was a positive one throughout. Vanessa and Gabby's organizational skills, reliability and responsiveness were consistently demonstrated. Having both of them on-site for the event was invaluable and their expert timeline management made the evening flow flawlessly.

    Thank you Vanessa and Gabby!

    The best choice in our wedding planning!

    Dailey Forte Designs was recommended to us by a friend and hiring them was easily the best decision in our wedding planning. Through postponements, a surprising change in venue, and other small hiccups, Vanessa & Gabby never wavered. Their professionalism, responsiveness, organization, support, and most importantly, the absolute joy in what they do, made the entire process so much smoother and enjoyable. I can't imagine doing it on my own! Their communication with us and our vendors was clear, concise and when our wedding day arrived, we enjoyed a seamlessly executed event that surpassed our wedding dreams. Vanessa & Gabby are truly the dream team. You won't be disappointed in choosing to work with them!

    Essential wedding strategy partner

    Dailey Forte was a true strategic partner that helped us realize our wedding vision. With only 10 weeks to plan, Dailey Forte's ideas and contributions enabled us to host a wedding that exceeded our expectations and our guests called Perfect.

They were responsive to all of our emails and incorporated our feedback with many updates to the timeline. We felt like they were everpresent and reassured us that things were on track. They calmed my nerves on the day of the wedding and ensured everything went flawlessly. Thank you Vanessa and Gabby!

    Amazing!

    Leading up to our big day, we had been working with Vanessa and Gabby for nearly 2 years and thought we had everything planned and perfect. When COVID hit, Vanessa and Gabby replanned our entire wedding in 6 months and did a complete 180 with our original plans (COVID wedding). To say they brought our wedding dreams to life is an understatement. They took our vision and made it a reality. They knew all the right vendors and got us in touch with all of the right people to make our day what it was. We loved every vendor that Vanessa and Gabby recommended. This wedding process was stress free and fun all thanks to Vanessa and Gabby. They are truly an amazing team with amazing talent and were there for anything and everything that we needed. Thank you Vanessa and Gabby for making our wedding dreams come true!!!

They bring a calming presence, along with professionalism and wedding knowledge!
