There will never be enough words to express how grateful we are for Danielle and the role she played throughout our entire wedding journey. At one point, we genuinely considered adding her to our vows because of how essential she became to us in the months leading up to the big day.
Planning a wedding comes with its fair share of stress and uncertainty, but having someone as experienced, organized, and genuinely caring as Danielle makes all the difference. She is positive, easy to work with, and tremendously proactive in keeping you on track as the big day approaches. Whenever our to‑do list started to feel overwhelming, she was right there with necessary, yet always gentle, nudges, thoughtful guidance, and steadfast support. We are thoroughly missing her weekly emails.
From the earliest planning stages to the final moments of our wedding day, Danielle was the driving force ensuring everything unfolded seamlessly. She wasn’t just a coordinator, she was the reason we were able to fully enjoy the experience. She made what could have been stressful feel completely effortless, and we are endlessly thankful for her.

Daniele & dpnak are incredible
Danielle and the team at DPNAK Events were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Danielle is incredible - she is reliable, available, and prompt in her responses.

Hire Danielle & her team!
Working with Danielle was truly one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding planning process. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to understand us as a couple and tailor every detail to reflect our personalities and vision.
Throughout the process, Danielle handled every situation — even a few personal challenges that came up along the way — with incredible sensitivity, professionalism, and care. Her thoughtful recommendations and calm presence made us feel completely supported. She was *incredibly* responsive and brought her expertise and experience in the wedding industry when helping us make informed decisions.
Because of Danielle and her amazing team, our wedding planning felt smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment knowing she had everything handled — from décor to vendor coordination and all the small details in between. She even remembered my Grandmother's name at the rehearsal!
We can’t recommend Danielle highly enough. Every couple deserves to have someone like her in their corner as their "wedding person". She made our day not only beautiful, but genuinely joyful and unforgettable.

The best decision you can make!
We cannot say enough good things about Danielle and her team. Maybe more telling than anything we could say as clients is the relief we felt from our venue and vendors when they found out Danielle was our planner - her reputation as the best precedes her. She is incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. From our first meeting she quickly grasped our vision and knew what we needed. She would confidently tell us if something was a risky (or bad!) idea for our venue or scale or timeline. With our relatively DIY venue and lots of vendors, her resources (including her software program), recommendations, and connections were invaluable. She was perfectly organized and on top of everything, including all of the smallest details to prevent any disruptions on the big day. She tactfully nudged and brought out the best in all of the parties involved, including our families. She was also emotionally supportive of us as a couple from our initial meeting, and we feel that she had genuine happiness for us and wanted our event to be flawless. We had weather disappointments and Danielle handled the situation with compassion and seamlessly executed our alternative plan. We can honestly say we did not worry about a single thing thanks to Danielle. All of our guests say ours was one of the best weddings we have been to, and I think a lot of that is thanks to Danielle and her team. You will not regret having Danielle on your team for your big day!

A miracle worker!
Hiring Danielle was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding! From our very first meeting, Danielle's incredible professionalism and warm personality put Matt and me completely at ease. Her organizational skills were incredible and she guided us through the entire wedding planning process as smoothly as we could’ve hoped for.
What sets Danielle apart is her remarkable ability to be meticulously detail-oriented without ever feeling overwhelming or overbearing. She created a detailed schedule of tasks that helped us navigate the whole process from beginning to end. Her gentle reminders and supportive approach made the entire process not just manageable, but actually enjoyable.
On our wedding day, Danielle and her team were absolute magic. They handled all the logistics seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on each other and our guests. Multiple members of our family and guests commented on how smoothly everything ran, which is such a testament to Danielle.
I cannot recommend Danielle enough. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the notion of planning your wedding, Danielle is the person you need in your corner. She is truly amazing, and we are forever grateful for her incredible support and expertise!

WE LOVE DANIELLE!!! Hiring her was the best decision ever
Next to marrying each other, hiring DPNAK was by far the BEST wedding decision we made. My wedding was 2 months ago, and as I reflect on the planning process and the wedding weekend itself, I can assuredly say Danielle was worth every penny and then some. I do not know how anyone could stay sane during the planning process or enjoy a seamless wedding day without someone like Danielle.
I'm a pretty type B person who has never utilized a calendar/planner/spreadsheet in my life, and I'm also a surgical resident with crazy hours and an unpredictable schedule. EVERY TYPE B BRIDE NEEDS A DPNAK! While her organizational abilities and attention to detail are very impressive, she won't judge you or get frustrated if your own organization skills aren't as strong. There were times when it would take days or weeks for us to respond to an email, and occasionally we would get behind schedule with various planning tasks (our own fault not Danielle's), and instead of getting frustrated with us, she would just send gentle reminders and tips on how to prioritize what we needed to accomplish.
DPNAK is also very good at sharing her own opinions/experience-based recommendations without forcing them on you or making you feel dumb if you choose something else. We ultimately did go with Danielle's suggestions >90% of the time, but for the couple of things we did "our way," she happily supported us and helped us execute them perfectly.
Danielle was amazing when it came to vendor and venue communications, and multiple vendors commented on how helpful, thorough, and professional all of her communication was. At the rehearsal and on the wedding day, her communication style was the perfect blend of friendly/gentle/funny and firm/assertive. She can seamlessly capture the attention/respect of a room full of people while maintaining a sense of peace/positivity that never made it feel like we were being "bossed around" etc.
NOTHING WENT WRONG on my wedding day -- I REPEAT -- NOTHING WENT WRONG!!!!??? Some of that is obviously good luck, but I really truly believe a TON of that is because of the DPNAK team. Everyone warns you that your wedding day will be chaotic or that something will go wrong and you're going to be an anxious mess etc. etc. but we truly had a sense of peace and calmness the entire day knowing that everything would flow seamlessly because of Danielle. Danielle also told us that if anything did go wrong or needed last-minute changes, her team would try to handle it without bothering us, and being protected from any day-of decision-making or damage control was amazing.
This is the longest review I have ever written, and I could truly write for ages about our amazing experience with Danielle. Our parents and multiple members of the wedding party commented on how smoothly she ran the wedding weekend and how natural it all seemed for her -- Danielle definitely found her calling.
On the wedding day, we tipped Danielle and her team per the standard wedding vendor tip protocols, but we were so blown away by their services that I requested the option to send an additional tip weeks later -- I knew DPNAK was the right choice as soon as our first Zoom meeting ended, and I knew she was amazing throughout the planning process, but her true value really revealed itself on the wedding day and I never could have predicted just how precious her services would be. She is worth every penny and more.
Love and miss you DPNAK!!

A+++++ all the gold stars
Danielle is the BEST!!! If I could give her more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Hiring Danielle was one of the first and best decisions we made! She is SO organized and on top of all the little details! She is also friendly and empathetic. As a type A person who is used to running things, it’s not often I find someone I fully trust to manage an event, but Danielle is that person! By the time we got to our wedding day, she knew the details of the day better than I did. I never worried about a thing on our wedding day because I knew Danielle had it covered!

Danielle is amazing!
Hiring Danielle was the best decision that we made when planning our wedding! From start to finish, Danielle demonstrated an exceptional blend of detail-oriented organization, professionalism, friendliness, and deep industry knowledge that made our wedding experience truly unforgettable.
Danielle is incredibly organized and professional; no element of our wedding was overlooked. In the planning process, she guided us with a detailed schedule of the tasks that we needed to complete, which was perfect to help us figure out everything that we needed to do and when. She also introduced us to a “dream team” of vendors that made our wedding unforgettable.
On the day of the wedding, Danielle and her team kept everything on-time and running smoothly. Their handling of the logistics of the wedding allowed us to focus our attention on each other and our guests.
Do yourself a favor and hire Danielle! She has a wealth of experience and expertise, which was evident in the seamless execution of our wedding day. And check out her awesome podcast.

The Must-Have Wedding Planner
Let me state this as simply as possible: book Danielle for your wedding.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Danielle as our wedding coordinator, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning of our 2.5-year engagement, Danielle was a beacon of organization, responsiveness, and support. She and her incredible team played a pivotal role in making our wedding day not just memorable, but utterly magical.
Throughout the planning process, Danielle kept us on track and on task, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned and executed. Her proactive communication and quick responses to our countless questions made the lengthy engagement period as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. No matter what came up, Danielle had a solution, a recommendation, or a calming word of advice. She truly goes above and beyond and genuinely makes her clients her number one priority. She is also kind, funny, organized beyond belief, and a pleasure to work with.
On our wedding day, Danielle and her team orchestrated everything seamlessly. Danielle’s keen eye for detail and her unwavering dedication meant that we could fully immerse ourselves in the joy and celebration without worrying about the logistics. Her team ensured that every wish was fulfilled, every moment was special, and every guest felt cared for. The personal touches and the genuine care she showed us made our wedding day feel uniquely ours.
If you are an engaged couple looking for a wedding coordinator who will turn your dreams into reality, look no further than Danielle. Her expertise, dedication, and passion for what she does are unparalleled.

We cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with Danielle! Through the whole process she was so organized, thoughtful and responsive. What stood out the most was how genuinely Danielle listened to our vision and needs. She made us feel heard and understood, and she did everything she could do make our vision come to life.

Danielle was invaluable, guiding us through each decision with expertise, keeping everything (and us!) organized, her warmth and genuine care have left us with nothing but immense gratitude for her - Thank you Danielle!!!

Danielle is the best!
We cannot recommend Danielle enough. Truly the best in the biz. All of our vendors sang Danielle's praises and it's so well deserved. She thinks of every detail and has a back up plan for every back up plan. She helped us with planning, booking vendors, and day of coordination. Our big day was stress free with Danielle at the helm and she flawlessly handled all the curveballs as they came up. We sadly had a loss in our family a few weeks before our wedding and Danielle was able to keep our plans moving while we were MIA, work with our vendors, and provided such care and compassion along the way. Do yourself a favor and hire Danielle!

Danielle is everything you want, everything you need, and then some!
My husband and I always felt in such good hands with her in our corner and constantly commented to each other during the planning process how thankful we were to have her and how we couldn’t imagine how we would be doing all of this planning and coordinating without her. This is her niche! She was born to do this and she knocks it out of the park. She is warm, personable, kind, and genuinely wants your day to be as spectacular as you do- but she is also a mighty force of knowledge, expertise, skills, and answers. She plans and she executes flawlessly. We are so fortunate to have been able to work with her and reap the rewards of her years of experience and expertise.

The BEST decision we could have made for ourselves
Danielle was truly a life-saver for us throughout the planning process + our wedding weekend. She is a joy of a person to work with, but is also so professional, helpful, and on top of her stuff. She was really supportive of us both, answered our (many, many) questions whenever they came up - but also was just really kind and empathetic throughout the process. It’s a stressful process planning a wedding, and she truly made it seamless and enjoyable for us. We joke all of the time that Danielle is the only reason we actually managed to get married (but it’s also honestly just true). I could not recommend her more highly!!

Danielle was absolutely fantastic in planning our wedding. We were back and forth on whether or not to hire a wedding planner, but within minutes of speaking with Danielle we knew we had to have her. She helped us make our dreams come true within our budget and manage multiple vendors. She made the entire day run flawlessly. We couldn’t have done it without Danielle.

Most wonderful planner
There truly are no words to describe how invaluable Danielle is when planning your wedding. Her organization is out of this world and will guide you through this very overwhelming process with absolute ease. She is always cool, calm, collected, direct and confident which helps the couple to always feel the same. She helped to make decisions when necessary and kindly redirected us when we had some pretty off the wall ideas :) Most of all, we went into our wedding week not worried about a single thing. With Danielle's guidance, we had everything completely planned for and could just bask in the excitement of the whole week. Day of, she checked on me several times to see if I needed anything/had questions making me feel so supported. Our day was absolutely perfect and I KNOW it was because we worked with Danielle.
I have to note that we were amazed by Danielle daily but every single other vendor on our team commented on how incredible she is and how great it is to work with her. That says so much about her!

Danielle is the BEST. My wife and I were nervous to dive into wedding planning and Danielle made each step doable and kept us on track. Her ability to help guide you without straying from your vision is amazing. She has a wealth of connections with vendors and is incredible in keeping all the moving parts of a wedding organized. Additionally, she is an INVALUABLE resource during the wedding. She has already done the incredible work of making you a detailed timeline the day of then she is able to coordinate all the moving parts of your wedding day leaving you free to enjoy your wedding. She's a maestro coordinating your wedding and helping you create the day you want to create for you and your guests.

Danielle is the best!
Impressive is an understatement. Danielle’s exceptional attention to detail, organization, and coordination abilities combined with demonstrated industry experience and expertise are all worth it on their own merits to hire her immediately to lead your coordination team. But perhaps what sticks with us the most is that because of these qualities and because we had so much confidence in Danielle, we went into our wedding weekend at ease and completely present. Instead of focusing on all of the details we could focus on each other, our families and friends and the reason we were having a wedding in the first place. We owe the credit not only for the execution of a smooth and well coordinated event but also for that peace and clarity of mind entirely to Danielle. We could not have done this without her and we are truly so grateful 🤍

I’d call her a wedding wizard, but I know how much she loves Harry Potter so instead she’s a wedding witch
As I told Danielle, it is impossible for me to say “thank you” enough times. Similarly, it is impossible to include all of the reasons Danielle is worth hiring in a review. My attempt to summarize is as follows: every cent you pay to DPNAK pays for itself tenfold, and makes every cent you spend on your event otherwise worthwhile. She is brilliant, wildly experienced, and I don’t doubt she is one of the best planners in the world. I know that Harry Potter isn’t real (despite our mutual love for it) but I do have to wonder if Danielle doesn’t possess some actual magical powers.
Also, I should mention that I started working with DPNAK in 2019 and spent a huge % of my budget on her services due to several years of planning and multiple covid postponements. I don’t regret it for a second.

Simply the Best
Working with Danielle was undoubtedly the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Because of Danielle, we were able to truly enjoy and completely soak in our wedding day. From our first meeting with her, we knew that we needed Danielle’s expertise and incredible attention to detail to pull off our outdoor wedding. Throughout our two year planning process (including a postponement that Danielle seamlessly navigated us through), she kept us organized and on schedule, helped us navigate choosing and working with all of our vendors (of which there were many) and, most importantly, was always one step ahead and thinking through all potential footfalls. But above all, Danielle is simply a pleasure to work with. We loved getting to know her, exchanging emails and having her with us throughout the day. Every vendor we worked with agreed -- when we told them we were working with Danielle, they unanimously expressed that she is simply the best. If you are looking for a wedding planner, you can’t do better than Danielle. She is best in class and we feel so fortunate to have had the chance to work with her.

Incredible wedding planner!
My husband and I hired Danielle five months before our wedding and it was THE BEST decision we made! We both work a lot and were completely overwhelmed by the planning process. But after our first video call with Danielle, we knew we were in safe hands! She really took the time to get to know us, our tastes, and what kind of atmosphere we wanted to have on the day. Throughout our time working together, Danielle was incredibly kind, professional, and an invaluable resource for any and all wedding-related things. Have a vendor who isn’t replying to your emails? No worries, Danielle will follow up with a polite but clearly articulated email that lets that vendor know they should reply ASAP. No sure what kind of votive candles to have on your tables? Danielle’s got several suggestions that suit the look that you’re going for. Last-minute guests added to the list? No problem, Danielle is a floor-plan magician who will make sure that your guests are comfortable, and everyone is accommodated. By the time of our wedding, we felt confident that every detail was covered, so that we could just relax and enjoy our day. From beginning to end, Danielle was an absolute pleasure to work with and we’re so grateful to her and the DPNAK team for helping us create the most beautiful day for us, our families, and our friends. Thank you, Danielle!!!

We're obsessed with Danielle!
There are no words to describe how grateful we are to Danielle. Hiring her as our wedding weekend planner was the best decision we made – she is absolutely incredible at what she does.
Danielle’s wealth of knowledge was invaluable. Her years in the industry have allowed her to compile a very long and comprehensive list of wedding pros. She was easily able to recommend vendors that matched our styles, meshed with our personalities, and were within our budget. Not only were all of our vendors incredibly talented, but they understood the importance of time management, communication, and teamwork. We would not have found such great wedding pros without her help.
Danielle’s experience also allowed her to pose questions to our venues and wedding pros that we would have never thought of. And she was able to address any potential logistical concerns before they ever became an issue. No stone was left unturned.
Danielle is passionate, organized, thorough, and detail-oriented. She was always ready to share thoughtful advice on navigating tough familial situations or her expertise on creating a special guest experience. She always had quick, detailed, and helpful responses to all of our many questions. Danielle was also prepared for any and all wedding day mishaps, including when my wedding dress bustle broke and my sister’s dress strap ripped. We were sewn together and back on the dance floor in no time at all!
Not only is Danielle excellent at her job, but she is a kind, thoughtful, and compassionate person who cares deeply about her couples. It was an absolute joy to work with her! We cannot recommend her enough. (Hi Danielle! We miss you!!)

Best wedding investment we made!
During our wedding planning (and especially the few weeks leading up to the wedding), we kept saying to each other that Danielle was the best investment we made for our wedding day. Not only did she keep us organized and have great recommendations, but she was very supportive throughout the whole process. I literally don’t know what I would have done with her (and her amazing day-of timeline that my mom still won’t stop talking about). By the time we got around to the wedding day, I was not worried about anything and felt complete trust that Danielle had it covered if anything unexpected came up.

The best!
Where do I even begin?! A little less than 9 years ago Danielle was the wedding planner for my sister’s wedding. Right after I got engaged, I looked Danielle up to find that she was now doing most of her work in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas, but I decided to reach out anyway. Danielle agreed to take Tom and me on as clients and I could not be more grateful. Danielle is truly made for what she does. She is smart, professional, organized, fun, and knows the industry well. She gave me recommendations throughout the entire process and I ended up with an incredible team surrounding me and one hell of a wedding. She helped us stay organized and on track the entire time and thought of things that never would have crossed my mind. The day of the wedding I was truly able to sit back, relax, and have an amazing time. I would invest in Danielle and her team 100xs over. She is a true asset and a wonderful person!! Thank you Danielle!!!!

The BEST wedding planner!
Danielle was simply the best wedding planner we could have asked for. We went into the planning process knowing nothing and Danielle was an amazing resource with great recommendations on all the many vendors we needed. She had wonderful ideas about the flow of the evening and various things we could work in to make the event itself better than we could have imagined (and this especially came in handy since there were so many unique things we had to think about with a covid wedding). She was incredibly organized and kept us on track with the hundreds of different elements that go into planning - and this was true even before we had to move our wedding twice due to the pandemic (original date was May 2020) and split it into a very small wedding in Sept 2020 and a larger reception-only even in October 2021. I honestly don't know what we could have done these reschedulings without Danielle. And lastly, Danielle is extremely kind and enjoyable to work with. I would recommend Danielle and DPNAK EVents to anyone having a wedding!

Look no further! DPNAK is the best!!!!
No other way to slice it, Danielle and DPNAK Events is simply the best. We were amazed at what Danielle and her team was able to do for us -- Danielle is extremely organized, thorough, and comprehensive. She put us at complete ease throughout the entire wedding planning process!! As we navigated wedding planning during the COVID-era, Danielle stuck by our side for 2+ years and a multitude of date changes, vendor switches, and myriad other potential stumbling blocks. She is an absolute joy to work with and we're so happy she was by our side through it all! Thank you Danielle!!

She Made It All Happen
Our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. And that's because of Danielle and her team. Danielle worked thoughtfully with us from day one -- taking time to get to really know us as individuals and as a couple. She kept us organized, sending monthly reminders and tasks, small check-ins with clear and concise to do lists.
She responds to emails thoroughly and quickly. With us, she was honest with feedback but committed to executing our vision.
We were married at Bok in South Philly in August. Our ceremony was on the roof, and the reception in the gym. Throughout the day, we worked with nine different vendors. Danielle was on top of all of it. She had been emailing (and sometimes calling) each vendor with reminders and timelines, ensuring each party knew exactly where to be and when to be there.
The day of the wedding felt smooth. Danielle was the first to arrive and the last to leave the venue. She worked incredibly hard all day, always moving, thinking ahead. On top of that, she was fun, quick witted, and calm, too. She put us at ease with a joke or a laugh.
You can stop your search for a wedding coordinator now. Hire Danielle. It's the best decision planning decision you'll make!

Danielle was Exceptional!
As Mother of the Bride, I’ve always been a bit of a skeptic about the “value” of a wedding planner. We just celebrated my daughter’s wedding under the professional planning and coordination provided by DPNAK, Danielle Pasternak and I now want to say I have joined the team of the converted. Danielle gets a five star rating from me! She carefully followed a timeline to ensure every critical task got completed on time. She worked closely with every vendor (there were several) and when there was an issue, worked closely with my daughter and the parties involved to get it resolved. She created a 25 page detailed itinerary to ensure we knew what to expect and there were no surprises. On the day of the wedding, she and her team, kept things moving, and were always visible and available for answering questions or assisting with whatever was needed. Our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding was amazing, beautiful, and perfectly executed thanks to Danielle!

MVP of our Wedding Day
The best decision we made while planning our wedding was hiring Danielle. She expertly guided us through the whole process, including two postponements, and she did so with incredible professionalism and grace. When our wedding day finally arrived, we had the utmost confidence that Danielle and team would execute our day perfectly, and we were abley to take in the beauty of each moment without worrying about a single detail. We can not recommend DPNAK enough. Danielle was our most valuable player, and we truly could not have done it without her!

Highly recommend DPNAK
Danielle went above and beyond to make our wedding run seamlessly. Most people would think rescheduling twice would be a nightmare, but with Danielle it felt like all we had to do was pick a date (then another) and she made sure everything was handled. Danielle encouraged all of our ideas and gave us her extremely knowledgeable feedback and suggestions to make sure everything felt effortless. She communicated with each vendor and gave them, our wedding party, and us multiple resources so that everyone was on the same page. Danielle made us feel like her top priority throughout the whole process- answering every question at lightning speed. Thanks to her attention to detail and incredible planning we did not have to worry at all on our wedding day. She allowed us to really enjoy the day with our family and friends and I couldn’t be more grateful. The best thing we did throughout the wedding planning process was hire DPNAK and I would recommend Danielle’s services to anyone!

Highly recommend Danielle
Danielle did a great job for mine and my husband's wedding this past February! I planned my wedding in 9 months, and without Danielle it wouldn't nearly have been as easy as it was. From the amazing vendor recommendations, to all her wedding planning tools and resources, it made the planning process a snap. What I was most looking for was the day of coordination services she and her team offer, but what I found is that having her throughout the duration of my journey was invaluable and ended up being irreplaceable. Thank you Danielle, for everything you did for us, our guests raved about how organized, smooth, and well run our entire weekend of events was and that was because of you and your team. I would recommend your services to anyone. Cheers!

Dpnak review
I would HIGHLY recommend booking Danielle Pasternak and the DPNAK team for your wedding coordination. From the moment we booked her, I felt so relieved. She took away so much stress of the planning process and allowed us to actually enjoy our engagement. Her communication skills are out of this world, and her response time is wicked fast. During any of our correspondences, she always found a way to make us feel like we were her most important clients.
Danielle knows EVERYTHING - and I do not say this lightly. Her depth of knowledge about anything and everything wedding is so profound. She made so many wonderful suggestions that helped elevate our special day, and she anticipated issues before they even became one. Big things, small things, and seemingly unimportant things were all on her radar and she was in complete control. Our wedding day was so effortless and easy because of her. She truly is a master of her craft. Book her now for your event, or you will regret it!

The Absolute Best of the Best
Where to begin? We just had our wedding 3 weeks ago (October 19th, 2019) in Bethlehem, PA and started working with Danielle over a year and a half ago. Through the entire process (even on nights and weekends and very early mornings when she says she may not respond as quickly as usual) Danielle waved her magic wand and created the most organized, magical and stunning wedding for us. My husband (first time typing that) and I could not have asked for a more perfect powerhouse of a human to have worked with. Our venue was entirely bare bones and is typically a space this isn't used for wedding receptions, with no kitchen space and barely even a point of contact to help us even book the space. Danielle dove right in when we realized that there would be an enormous amount of coordination and planning that would need to be done to pull off our dream wedding at this very shabby venue. We really wanted to make the space our own and Danielle suggested so many different things that we never would have thought of while still allowing us to let our creativity and our own ideas and style shine. Danielle's meticulous attention to detail and passion for weddings is so extremely apparent through every aspect of her work. Any issue that popped up (and there were quite a few small hiccups along the way) Danielle had a solution for, some of which I didn't even know about until after the wedding. Danielle is literally the absolute BEST of the BEST! We truly could not have had the wedding of our dreams without her. She is worth every penny and more. My friends, family and I all just adore her and are SO sad to not be planning with her now that the wedding is over. Danielle is 100% the planner of the year/decade/century, she is fabulous in every single way. If you are at all contemplating hiring a coordinator, I can guarantee that Danielle will be your best option for a seamless wedding planning experience. Cleary we LOVE our DPNAK!

Amazingly thoughtful and professional!!
We had begun the wedding process and realized in the 2 months (maybe even less) before the wedding that we were missing the "glue" of our wedding. Danielle got immediately started on analyzing all of our previously made plans/bookings & amazing pulled everything together to guide us through our "gaps" and what needed attention. She caught the most tedious (yet crucial) details in our wedding day AND rehearsal day details!! We were truly so impressed with her attention to detail while being SO SO pleasant to work with. She creates great relationships with all vendors so that the "day of" is truly flawless and comfortable. What a legend!

Organized, proactive, & enthusiastic
Danielle is amazing and everything you could hope for in a wedding coordinator/planner. Proactive, organized, detail-oriented, creative, and an all-around lovely person. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with her ASAP. We hired her with a little more than 3 months before the big day, and boy do I wish we had hired Danielle sooner! Danielle was actively involved with us all the way up to the day. She helped us find some awesome vendors, gave suggestions when we asked, answered emails very promptly, and started creating a detailed timeline 3 months before the actual day! From our first call, we knew we wanted to work with her because of her professionalism and enthusiasm. The day of, Danielle helped everything run smoothly. All of the vendors loved her and my bridal party and family were so impressed by her. She's worth every penny!

If you want a perfect wedding, she's your best bet!
Danielle helped my wife and I plan our wedding which we threw on my family's farm in Bucks County, PA. It is impossible to overstate how helpful Danielle was in the process. She worked closely with us starting from very early on to make sure we were on track with essentials such as catering, rentals, etc. She knew the best vendors in the area including, but not limited to, our DJ, rental companies, florists, transportation (we chose to rent a bus for our guests) and more. She is one of the most organized people I have ever worked with; she kept track of all of our vendors and made sure to email them, and us, regularly for updates to make sure every detail was hashed out. She was deeply invested in making sure our wedding was fun for our guests and us. Four nights before our wedding, I called her with a concern I was having, and she took an hour out of her evening to drive out to our venue and check on the issue just to give me piece of mind. From the perspective of my wife and me, our wedding day was flawless. If you are looking for the best wedding planner in Bucks County, look no further. Danielle is the best you can find.

She is the best!
Last May 2018 my daughter became engaged. I always knew she wanted a wedding in the Poconos where she grew up every summer. So, I contacted several of my friends there who had had a wedding in the same place to learn from their experiences. Everyone of them recommended I hire Danielle Pasternak as a wedding planner. Not only is she extremely organized and detail oriented and perfect for the job, she had the previous experience of our unique community with its outside church grove setting and reception location. She knew all the ins and outs. On top of that she had worked with all our vendors that we hired for the wedding. They worked seamlessly together. What I liked best was that Danielle responded to questions and issues almost immediately. It was as if we were her only concern - she seemed to drop everything to take care of us.
My daughter was relieved to know we had Danielle to rely on throughout the year and leading up to those last few weeks of daily decisions with a daily to do list. Danielle really kept us on track with her amazing "Aisle Planner" website. And on the wedding day I felt like a 'guest at our daughters wedding' - we could simply relax and enjoy our guests, the beautiful setting, and most importantly, our daughter's happiness.
I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again!

Made Our Dream Wedding Come to Life
Danielle was a dream come true. We had our wedding on an organic farm with 20+ vendors that all needed coordinating. Danielle went above and beyond in managing and coordinating all of our vendors to ensure the day went smoothly. She also understood our vision and made every effort to come up with a realistic plan to make it all happen. I'd also like to add that I am a perfectionist with a tendency to hyperfocus on detail. She had a way of making me feel like more relaxed and that everything was being taken care of. She made sure all details were perfect and went out of her way to make me feel at ease. You will not regret hiring Danielle!

Run Don't Walk to Book Danielle!
I can not put into words how important Danielle was to our wedding process. Danielle also coordinated my sister’s wedding at the same location where we got married. She was so crucial that we literally picked our wedding date based on Danielle’s availability. Truly. I had the engagement ring on my finger for less than hour before my sister told me “I already emailed Danielle asking what her September looks like!” Danielle is just THAT important/amazing.
The process leading up the wedding was great. Danielle was obviously very familiar with our wedding location and our family, so everything was effortless. I really appreciated that she understood that I didn’t want my wedding to feel like a “copy / paste” of my sister’s and she was really great about tossing around ideas to keep things unique and special to my husband and me. Danielle is quick to respond to emails and always is quick to communicate if she has something where she will be slow to respond (i.e.: another wedding lol). Our final detail meeting was when things really started to come together. She was so prepared and easily navigated the family relationships / logistics.
A couple of things about Danielle the day of the wedding: 1. She is a total boss! She is all about GSD (getting shit done) and not letting you know of anything going wrong. If something went wrong that day, I had no clue and it was not my problem to worry about it. 2. At the rehearsal, she commands the room and makes sure every minute of the rehearsal is productive. Let’s be honest - wrangling those boys to pay attention is a job in and of itself! 3. There is no one like Danielle when it comes to efficiency. One example (of many): Family photo time can be a mess - no one is paying attention, your Dad is wandering around doing who knows what. Well, not with Danielle. Once you provide the list of photos you want she puts them in this super nifty list and makes it so efficient and easy and is there manning the whole thing. “Okay, sister out, brother in” etc. I mean it is silly efficient. 4. She keeps you on track / accountable - At our final detail meeting I told her I wanted full family photos and she said at the final detail meeting “now day of when you’re going to just want to go to the cocktail hour, do you need me to remind you that you want these?” And sure enough, the day of I was like “let's skip it!” And she had to be like “Liza, we agreed these are important!” And thank goodness she did. 5. She lets you enjoy your day! I had utter faith the entire day that no matter the problem, Danielle had it under control. I did not fret once about anything and that alone is worth every penny. I was able to spend the entire day relaxed and happy because I knew she had my back. 6. She is so calm, cool, collected (and it rubs off on you!) 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle my dress broke. Like the whole hook and eye fell off, broke. Yeesh. I was trying to not freak out and Danielle kept me calm. Then after the ceremony we snuck away and she sewed me into my dress. I don’t think I would have kept so calm if it weren’t for her. Her being so calm, helped me feel calm. Thank you, Danielle!
Go do yourself a favor and book Danielle! Don’t just take my advice - read all these reviews!! She is amazing and we can all attest to it. Our wedding days were all infinitely better because of her and her team. Let her do that for you too!

Danielle is the best. Hands down.
Wow. There aren't enough words to describe how key Danielle was to our wedding. In the months leaving up to the big day, Danielle was an amazing sounding board for questions, ideas, 1am worries that I wrote in novel form from Gmail (oy...) and everything else you could imagine. First and foremost... her response time. It's like she's a wizard. My novel-esque gmails were answered in less than an hour 99% of time (I say 99% because the remaining 1% was from when I sent an email at like,2am and she responded first thing in the morning, before the sun was even up... still insanely impressive). Our final detail meeting a few weeks before the wedding left me feeling confident and ready for the big day, and if anything went wrong that day, I wither didn't know about it or knew Danielle and her team had it under control (and of course, they did). All of our guests continue to comment on how smooth everything went, and my bridesmaids were so impressed with her toolbox of planning skills. oh! And the pocket schedules... so so so amazing and helpful. Everyone knew where they had to be and what was going on at what time. it was such a lifesaver. Danielle was such a lifesaver. She was easily one of the best investments we made for our wedding and if you're on the fence... just call her, get her on your team, and you don't have to worry anymore. Seriously. She's got it under control, all of it. There is nothing she can't handle! Thank you so much, Danielle! We loved working with you so much!

Words cannot do justice to how amazing Danielle is! I found her via her Put a Ring On It Podcast. After listening to her show and learning her approach to weddings, I realized no local coordinator I interviewed even came close to matching her energy, expertise and passion. Luckily, she was willing to travel to NYC! Hiring her was the best decision I made! Her lists and questionnaires enabled me to download my entire wedding vision into her brain. In the last month leading up to the wedding, she knew more about my wedding than I did. At some point, I kind of forgot I was planning a wedding because Danielle was running things for me. Her bubbly personality and everlasting positivity made her such a joy to work with! She was always super responsive (responding to emails/text within minutes!) and made me feel like I was her only client. As brides and grooms, we spend so much time and money hiring our dream wedding professionals, but the most important one is the coordinator. We need a true leader to run the dream team, and Danielle is truly the best wedding professional anyone can have! Call her now!

Danielle and her team were absolutely phenomenal to work with! Danielle was always super responsive, helped keep me on track throught out the entire process, provided all of the insights necessary to find the best vendors, and ensured that everyone involved in the day knew exactly what was happening at all times. Our day was perfectly smooth and stress free because of her! Hiring DPNAK was one of the best decisions I made (and most of my other great decisions were products of her help, too!) Don't get married without DPNAK!

Key Takeaway: Everyone deserves to have a Danielle in their life and at their wedding!!
I actually found out about Danielle before I got engaged when I came across her Put A Ring On It Podcast with Daniel Moyer one day on Instagram. It was great timing as my husband and I had just started discussing engagement and wedding planning. Her podcast gave us such great insight into so many topics that we felt informed and prepared to plan. We knew we had to hire her and it was honestly the best decision we made during the planning process. Danielle was amazing from the very first Skype call to the secure hand off of the card box to my parents. She is so knowledgable, professional and warm and you just want to be around her. We signed on for Day of Coordination services and she was worth EVERY PENNY. Even though I am super type A and felt very organized, she still blew us away the minute our services started with 2 months to go. All of our stress literally melted away. Her "worksheets" helped us centralize all our vendor information and make sure all the items big and small were addressed. She had this magical way of literally sniffing out all the to dos I kept putting off or avoiding and helped me work through them effortlessly. Not only does Danielle work well on her own, she easily integrated into the rest of our dream team, even vendors she had never met before. Having Danielle on hand for our final venue walk through was incredible and you could just tell she was in her element and THRIVING. It was fun to watch! Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives because we got to live in the moment and be showered with love without a care in the world. Danielle and her team were just incredible. They all made us feel so special while also making the impossible seem easy like untangling our just married banner in a wind storm or reading my mind for last minute decor decisions. We would choose to hire Danielle over and over again.

As matron of honor and sister to the bride, I was absolutely amazed by Danielle. My sister's wedding was totally customized and a seemingly impossible undertaking but Danielle rose to the challenge. She made everything happen, was adaptable, flexible, incredibly organized, calm, and collected. I cannot recommend her enough.

6 months out from our wedding date, we were sitting in an IHop after work exhausted and making an endless lists. We realized we couldn't do this thing on our own and needed help! We found Danielle and she ended up being our savior! Danielle was amazing to work with throughout our whole planning process. She helped us through all of the details, bumps in the road, and made our entire weekend go so smoothly, we didn't have to worry about a thing! We would highly recommend her to help you plan your big day, that way you can focus on your guests, partner and staying in the moment while she flawlessly runs the show! Thank you Danielle and team for an amazing wedding!

Where do I begin with PRAISING Danielle?! Well first off, just go ahead and hire her. She's the best decision we made for our wedding, hands down. My bridesmaids are STILL talking about all of her ninja Wedding Planner skills.
Top 3 Reasons we loved her:
1. More organized and RESPONSIVE than I could have imagined. Like I would get emails at 11pm 5 minutes after I sent it.
2. She. Knows. Her. Sh*t. Answered all of our questions, and then came up with ideas we didn't even think of. Game day changes were made EFFORTLESSLY.
3. She is SOOO stinkin' sweet! I truly miss speaking with her and her funny emails. Love you Danielle!!!

Seriously, just hire Danielle!
I honestly can't even begin to explain how amazing Danielle was to work with. I originally never thought I would want a wedding coordinator, and thought I could do everything myself since I'm pretty organized and manage projects at work. After thinking about it more I realized I didn't want to do everything myself. Enter Danielle. As soon as I hired her I knew everything would be smooth and done right. The value of that alone was worth every penny. Then as we got closer to the wedding and she took care of all the communications with my vendors, the timeline and basically every other teeny tiny detail I never would have thought of on my own, she was worth every penny even MORE. Even before my wedding I would practically shout from the rooftops how much I loved my coordinator and how her help before the actual wedding day was the best money I spent.
Flash forward to the wedding day. Not only did she show up early (because she thinks of everything and wanted to avoid any potential traffic), but she was friendly, funny, and just an awesome person to be around. Her assistant was equally great! Weddings cost a lot of money so of course you don't want anything to go wrong, but with Danielle there was zero stress or thought about that possibility. I KNEW she would nail it and take care of everything, because she's magic. She was there at every step of the day, and I know that things would not have been as smooth and perfect if she hadn't been there. My family and friends also loved her and were incredibly impressed. She's truly the most organized person I have ever met (on top of just being an awesome human being), and I honestly don't think I could have hired anyone better to help us on our wedding day!
So go now, and hire her! I promise you will not regret it!

Danielle @DPNAK is literally a LIFESAVER! My husband and I were the first ones on both sides of the family to get married. Leaving everyone a bit clueless as to what was a "must do" and what was a "never do"! From our initial meeting with Danielle to the day AFTER our wedding she was always checking in and making sure we were doing everything appropriately with our timeline! The rehearsal dinner went off without a hitch, but our wedding day was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! 100% would recommend DPNAK, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

I'm not even sure it's possible to explain in words how magical Danielle is! She is so beyond passionate about the wedding field and knows so much about everything involved. I had a complicated DIY wedding that required a ton of coordination and planning and Danielle was not even phased by it at all. During the planning process she brought up so many little things that I didn't even think about! She made me feel so relaxed and confident that everything was going to run smoothly so that we could truly enjoy our day. I genuinely could not imagine my wedding day without her there.

We don’t even know where to begin with this review! We do however know that Danielle was worth every single dollar spent in the planning, preparation, and execution of our wedding. She was there since day one and didn’t leave our side until the wedding ended. It is safe to say that she was in control and on-top of every minute detail of the process and for her services we cannot be more grateful. She was extremely organized, efficient, and on time on top of being very friendly, courteous, and professional with guests and other wedding vendors. She approached each one of our questions, ideas, and desires with a can-do attitude and an open mind; the result being a perfect day. PERFECT! It was worth every penny to know that we could really relax and enjoy our day without worrying about finding relatives for pictures or when and where to be at certain times of the day.
Not only did we love her, but our guests commented to us of how professional and friendly she was while orchestrating the night. She was everywhere she needed to be and was prepared to tackle any obstacle the in the planning phase as well as on the wedding day. You name it, she knows how to handle it; From a boo-boo toe on a child to her expert dress bustling technique! She has it all under control. We give her the highest rating and absolutely recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding. Thanks Danielle for playing such a big role in making our wedding day perfect. We could have not done it without you!

We do not know what we would have done without Danielle on our wedding day! Danielle made us the priority for our day to make sure that our wedding day was seamless so that we would enjoy every minute of the day. Her timeline for the day was a masterpiece, and her management of all the other vendors was professional and efficient. I will be recommending Danielle to all of our friends who plan a wedding in the future.

I would recommend working with Danielle to ANYONE who is planning a wedding! Danielle helped me plan my PA wedding in 4 months, while I was living in DC. She was incredible. I’m a huge detail-person myself, but she completely had me beat!! She saw every single detail we were possibly overlooking and tactfully brought them to our attention. Her spreadsheets, organizational software, recommended “questions for vendors” lists and more were life-savers. Often times I would come to a decision-point in planning when I would be stumped regarding a) the etiquette and b) how this decision would be linked to and affect other areas of the day. She knew exactly how to give me the various scenarios so I could make a well-informed decision. Her three packages of planning allow for personal preference for how much or how little she gets involved along the way. Danielle worked superbly with both myself as the bride, and also with my mom, when were both involved in separate, or sometimes overlapping, areas of the planning process. Not only that, she’s got a great sense of humor and helped me keep a good attitude when stress levels started to run high. Danielle recommended many vendors to me and I ended up using them with complete happiness. I loved my wedding day and I’d plan it with Danielle all over again!

Danielle is a joy to work with. She is very jolly, easy going and the opposite of a procrastinator. I'm envious of her professional confidence and foresight. She is incredibly experienced and at the top of her game in every single interaction we had with her throughout the somewhat intimidating planning process. You're a fool if you choose not to have Danielle on your side.

Danielle went above and beyond to make our day special. I knew that little things would inevitably go wrong on the big day, but knowing she was running the show put me totally at ease so that I could fully enjoy the day. She was also invaluable in the planning process. Any little question we had she would respond within minutes with the most helpful response. Multiple friends and family told us throughout the process some version of: "I don't know what you're paying for her, but she has already paid for herself 10x" - and its true! Thanks, Danielle for playing such a big part in making our day perfect.

Danielle and her team were fantastic, and I can't imagine our wedding without them! We started working with her early on in the planning process, and I will be forever grateful to her for making it such a positive experience. Her checklists kept us organized by breaking down our massive to do list into manageable sections for each month. She was also super responsive to emails and had helpful tips for every step of the way. For our wedding weekend, she was a lifesaver, giving all of the key players pocket cards of the timeline with where they had to be and when. Brilliant idea! The whole weekend was seamless and flowed beautifully, all due to her. It was worth every penny to know that we could really relax and enjoy our day without worrying about finding relatives for pictures, etc. She knew every single detail and was incredibly professional. She is also warm, friendly, and a delight to be around, particularly on such an action packed day! I can't say enough glowing comments and would recommend her and her team to anyone.

Do you want your wedding to be amazing? How can it be amazing? Hire Danielle! Danielle knows every detail inside and out about your day. Do you want to be calm the day of your wedding and have the confidence in someone that "gets" your special day? Hire Danielle ASAP! Danielle is a wedding wizard that has so much passion and love for weddings. My only regret is not hiring her sooner to start planning! I had no worries because of her. She is so responsive and knows every detail about your wedding. Danielle did some last minute extras for me and she nailed it beyond imagination! Do yourself a favor and hire her. She is the best money spent and so worth it! Thank you Danielle and team for making my dream wedding come true.

Danielle was the BEST investment for our wedding day. If there is anything that you might need for a wedding - it's a day-of-coordinator and not just any coordinator - Danielle and her team.
I started out not knowing where to look when searching for a coordinator. I was sure though, that I needed a coordinator - someone to keep track of all of the millions of moving parts, to do the dirty work, to help run a smooth wedding. Danielle did all of that and more. She kept tabs on every single angle of the wedding, she made herself known and in charge of all of our wedding vendors, and she kept ME on track for items that I needed to complete.
I've attended multiple weddings since my own, and all I can say is that it was clear that other coordinators did not match up to Danielle's talent and ability to run a wedding. She runs a tight ship and doesn't let anything slip through the cracks! If there was ever any hiccup at my wedding, I never knew about it, and Danielle is the reason why.

When you meet Danielle, you learn pretty quickly that she's an avid Harry Potter fan. Then you learn that this isn't surprising because she's nothing short of magical! I had a wedding 2hours away in another state at a venue that doesn't normally do weddings. Danielle made all of that a piece of cake! She kept me on track and sane as different things popped up like the venue changing management 2 weeks before the wedding! We had planned a beautiful outdoor lakeside ceremony at the end of October, but Mother Nature had other ideas. 4 hours before the ceremony was supposed to start, I had to make the call to bring it inside. I also had to put it entirely in Danielle's hands since I was having my pictures done. She devised a "Plan B" on the fly that was even more intimate and perfect than my original plan! She took the time to get to know me and understand exactly what I wanted, and I was entirely comfortable leaving it up to her and just showing up to get married :-) One of the things that stood out to me the most, was the way my vendors spoke of her. I was a little far from her "home base" so many of her suggested vendors didn't work for me. When she found out about that and saw I was having a hard time, she networked and got me some names and recommendations. She had never worked with any of them before. After speaking with them, every one of them contacted me to tell me how great she was! They loved her timelines and ideas and especially her organization. To hear that from people in her business made me sure that I made the right choice. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Holy moly.
Drop everything and hire DPNAK to coordinate your wedding (if you can). There aren't enough good things to say about Danielle and her team. One unanticipated side effect of being a bride was how little you know about what is going on while you're basking in your newlywed glow. The day is flying by, there are laughs and tears, and so many of the elements you've dreamed and cared about for months would be so easily forgotten if it wasn't for Danielle. There was never time for me to say "oh crap I forgot..." there was only time for me to say "Oh! Ah! Look at that (thing I've been dreaming about). It's so perfect and wonderful!"
Danielle is a true professional. She has done this before. She knows what works and what doesn't. But she is also willing to listen to whatever it is YOU want for YOUR day and give you suggestions on how to make that a reality. As a big picture thinker, Danielle and her timeline forced me to think about think about things step by step. My parents would describe be as a very fly by the seat of my pants person, and though I missed some of that during my wedding day, it was important that everyone was where they needed to be at certain times to keep the day on track. Anything you want to happen on your day, let Danielle know and she will make sure it is built in. (If I'd do it over...schedule a moment with your mom before she goes to the church, though, I didn't realize she had already left! Wah!)
The week of the wedding Danielle was following up with vendors while I was finishing last minute crafts and getting my nails done (c'monnnn you're only a bride once!). From start to finish, the day ran smoothly (and ahead of schedule...whatttt?) and everyone was able to let loose and enjoy. Many of my bridesmaids hope to hire Danielle to organize their life and keep them on schedule daily ;) Not sure that she is offering those services....but they would be in high demand.

One of the best pieces of advice we received after we were engaged was to hire a wedding planner. Enter Danielle, one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding process. I thought I was organized with my event planning background and that I could handle my own wedding. No way jose! Danielle project managed me in the most wonderful way possible, sending me monthly check-in emails, acting as a consultant, and also as a sounding board when either me or someone in my family had questions. She's not only a planner but also a consultant and a friend! She's chipper, funny, friendly, and creative. In the months leading up to our wedding, it was incredible to know that on our wedding day I would not have a single worry and we could 100% enjoy our most special day...and enjoy we did! Danielle took care of every task, from putting together little timelines for the bridal party + VIPs, to ensuring that all of our gifts were back at our house following the wedding. On the day-of the wedding, Danielle is invisible but somewhere everywhere. Everyone tells you to “take every moment in” and having Danielle there truly allowed us to enjoy every single second of our day. I would not change a thing. Thank you for everything Danielle!

There is certainly good reason for the dozens of incredible reviews Danielle has received! We booked her Signature Coordination services early this year for our September wedding, and it was worth every penny. It was a great investment in minimizing stress leading up to and on the big day, and for the peace of mind that someone you know and trust is there to make sure everything goes well.
Danielle is extremely professional, detail-oriented and helpful. Her checklists and timeline were invaluable, as well as her numerous communications with all of our vendors. She definitely kept us in line and on time throughout the months, and made wedding prep more enjoyable because I knew what I needed to focus on at any given point, and what else needed to get done as the date approached.
She was always super responsive (I mean, literally minutes to respond to an email pretty much every time) and had great ideas and suggestions when we would pick her brain on different ways to approach some of the details of the wedding.
We enjoyed all of our meetings with Danielle because she has a great energy -- bubbly, but focused, and entertaining :)
Can't recommend her and her team enough!

Danielle was an absolute game changer for us. The decision to hire her was the best planning decision I made. In the months leading up to the wedding, Danielle kept me on task and was always there for me to run a recommendation by or help with selecting/managing vendors. All of the vendors that had worked with Danielle before were very happy to be working with her again which made me feel like the wedding was in good hands. Working with Danielle was easy and fun. I appreciated her being open to my working style involving hashtags, emojis and applicable .gifs. Danielle’s extensive experience helped me to bring out the absolute best in the vision that I had for my unique and personalized wedding day. i.e. She knew where the pit falls were and how to make my creative ideas work and work well.
The weekend of the wedding I felt no stress at all. Danielle was there to execute all of the small details that I had thought up for months. I was just along for the ride. She worked so well with the guests and the other vendors. After the rehearsal she gave the whole wedding party adorable pocket timelines so they knew where to be and when the next day. The morning of the wedding, Danielle coordinated the setup of the venue – which involved 15+ different vendors, friends and family involved in putting together the reception. At one point, I saw Danielle on the phone with the trolley company coordinating some last minute changes that were needed due to unforeseen circumstances. Danielle handled it beautifully so that no one was inconvenienced or waiting around. I kept thinking to myself – thank goodness they are not calling me or my family right now. Danielle was the master of the schedule and everyone knew to go to her with questions or information. For Tim and I, our wedding was the best day of our lives because we were able to spend every second of it celebrating with the people we love.

Danielle and her team made all of our ideas come to life. The day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything because I knew she was on site making sure everything showed up and was exactly where it needed to be. The decorations, centerpieces, welcome/card table, were all exceptionally well done. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! The price was well worth the piece of mind.

Working with DPNAK was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. Our wedding was at Hotel Bethlehem in Bethlehem PA while we lived in and planned from Boston MA. Danielle started as a complete stranger, proved herself to be a rock star wedding planner and in the end helped us achieve our "perfect wedding day" and became a dear friend. She is the most organized, well thought out person I know! She kept us on time, on track and focused from the day we hired her until we woke up the morning after our wedding! She perfectly executed every single dream we had for our day! My husband and I got to just enjoy our wedding!! I showed, up got married and had the best day of my life without a care in the world! Danielle and her amazing team took care of the stress and worry!! If I would have changed one thing, I would have hired her sooner in the process!! Besides handling the entire day beautiful she also hemmed my dress during cocktail hour and absolutely saved the day (along with a million other small miracles)! I cannot rave about her enough!! Nor could we ever thank her enough!! She seriously does not charge enough for the amazing services she provides! We would hire her again in a heartbeat!! We <3 DPNAK!

Working with Danielle was the single best decision we made--besides getting married of course! Danielle and I clicked from our first meeting and it was full-steam ahead from there. We chose a non-traditional venue to host our wedding (their very first wedding ever--ours too!) and Danielle's expertise was much needed and very much appreciated by both us AND the venue. Her advice was always spot on and I always felt like she responded to my emails before I had even sent them! Her recommendations for vendors were on-point AND vendors reactions to when they heard they would be working with her were phenomenal. Being a Type A personality too, Danielle's planning programs, day of timeline and pocket mini-timelines brought me endless amounts of joy and relief that everything was taken care of. Our wedding day was perfection. Danielle and her team set-up, kept everything moving and made family pictures a BREEZE. (You want 25 aunts, uncles and cousins in one photo--no problem!) Countless guests remarked how smoothly everything flowed together-- and I certainly couldn't take credit for that! Danielle is truly the best at what she does (basically wedding wizardry!) and she and her team's hard work gave us the ultimate gift of our "Best Day Ever!" YAY!
xoxo,
Katelyn & Lee

Danielle was awesome. I did a DIY backyard country wedding and Danielle really kept me on schedule and even more impt. (something you don't think about when you say you don't need a wedding planner) . . . she contacted everyone and kept everyone updated in a timely manner. All those emails to vendors, and the wedding party! Absent-minded groomsmen, so many contracts and details for the day of! She really knew what to do. Additionally she handled the day-of chaos with grace and resourcefulness. It rained the whole day, the inside of the tent turned into a Woodstock concert but Danielle kept everything on schedule and the dance floor dry. She did well in a crisis situation. I would definitely recommend hiring her, ESP. if you are trying to "DIY" a lot of it as I did.

Danielle is hands-down the most professional and incredible wedding planner out there! To say she is organized and thorough is an understatement. We used her for our day-of coordinator which meant our work with her started three months prior to our wedding date. Within those three months she completely tied up every loose end we had left and finalized all of the remaining details. All of our vendors commented on how pleasant and great she was to work with. She blew every expectation I had for hiring a wedding planner!
Both of us wanted to try as hard as we could to be a guest at our own wedding. Danielle allowed us to do just that. She dealt with any of the issues that came up throughout the day, making the entire day seamless. I've been a part of many weddings and have never experienced such organization. Everything flowed perfectly and we were on time (actually ahead of time) for every part of the day.
To say she made our day perfect would be an understatement. We cannot thank her enough for all of the hard work she put into our day. It was absolutely amazing and we were able to enjoy every part of it because of her. You have to work with Danielle, she's incredible at what she does!

Hiring Danielle was by far the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. We were very on the fence about needing a coordinator. I have planned some events professionally, so I thought I could handle it. I quickly learned that a wedding is a completely different animal. Danielle kept us on track with checklists and budgets. She answered all of our questions no matter how small, and her average response time was under an hour. Honestly she feels less like a planner and more like a good friend who is just REALLY excited about your wedding. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and she is amazing at it.
In the days leading up to the the wedding, we were able to just sit back and enjoy. Danielle double and triple checked everything with our vendors and distributed timelines to our bridal party. Many of the vendors mentioned how much they loved working with her. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We didn’t have to worry about anything other than trying not to be nervous and making sure to take in every moment. For the few things that did go wrong, Danielle was completely prepared. My sister ripped her dress, and Danielle had it mended in about 30 seconds flat. My veil started coming out, and Danielle fixed it immediately with bobby pins from her magic bag. We flew through the bridal party and family photos. I’ve been in a few weddings where they are very disorganized and drag on forever. She managed to keep everyone organized and on task, but still kept it fun and lighthearted.
We are so grateful to Danielle and her team for making our wedding the best day of our lives. You will not regret hiring DPNAK! Our only regret is that our time working together has ended. Thanks for everything!

Selecting DPNAK to plan their wedding is, in my experienced opinion, the best choice a couple can make to ensure their event's success. Months in advance we were set as ease knowing that all of our vendors came from DPNAK's "recommended" list. We were confident our florist, DJ, caterer, etc. would fulfill their end of the contract in order to receive the coveted DPNAK blessing. Danielle personally goes far beyond any expectations the day of the wedding, managing the timeline, guests, wedding party, transportation, and vendors with superhuman efficiency. Danielle has the ability to move mountains with a feather's touch, and handles all the aspects the day of the event with that poise. She asks questions we did not think to consider, provides back-ups plan when the inevitable bad weather occurs, and hires an invisible but super effective team to help with all wedding day aspects. Her planning and triple-checking leading up to the wedding makes her invaluable, while her stewardship of the rehearsal process helps everyone to understand their role without stepping on anyone's toes or egos. Danielle's experience, positive energy, and knowledge not only guaranteed our wedding's success, but did so with the very little personal stress on our part. Danielle was also very personal, approachable, and available during our year long engagement. We did not hesitate to ask her any questions, regardless of their minuteness or ill-timeliness, as that was the tone she set. She always responded promptly, and in such a way to soothe potential concerns. She maintained that helpful but driven, knowledgeable yet fun-loving demeanor throughout the 14 months we worked with her and particularly during wedding week. It was clear to both of us that the DPNAK team wanted nothing more than our wedding to be the day we dreamed it could be. Hiring her was the smartest move I made since popping the question, and I plan to share that with anyone planning a wedding!

Danielle and her wonderful team deserve every 5 star review under the sun for their coordination/wedding planning services! My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about them to accurately describe how great and helpful they were to work with. My piece of advice: If you are at all considering day of coordination or wedding planning, STOP looking and contact Danielle immediately.
She is insanely professional, organized, helpful, responsive, and to top it off-an awesome person! From Day 1 of contacting her, she exceeded any expectation I could have had. She had the answer for everything and took away so much of the stress that goes along with planning a wedding. As my venue was very DIY, there were a lot of things that I just didn't know how to make work. When I first contacted Danielle, I was averaging about 6 nightmares a week about my wedding and it all coming together! After signing my contract with DPNAK and getting hooked up with the Basecamp application, all my fears were put to rest!
Leading up to the wedding, all of my vendors were contacted and updated with a terrific timeline. It was so nice knowing everyone was on the same page and knew where to be. And again, I cannot say enough about that timeline! It was life-changing.
The weekend of the wedding, she and her team were there and ready to rock. The rehearsal went perfectly and on time and Danielle designed the most amazing timelines I've ever seen for the bridal party (I kept all of them). As for the day of the wedding, it was the BEST day of our lives and I have Danielle to thank for so much of that! I would have spent SO much of the day worrying about everyone being at the right place and everyone being happy that I would have missed out on the most important parts. Thanks to Danielle and her team, I knew that everything was going to run smoothly and I was able to enjoy every second with my husband, family, and guests.
Our wedding was the best weekend of our lives. Thank you!

Words cannot express how thankful we are to Danielle and the DPNAK team for making our wedding the most perfect day of our lives! After my husband (I love saying that!) and I set our date and decided to throw a tent wedding in his grandmother’s field we knew that planning this event would be intense- we also knew we needed someone to be able to manage the day so we didn’t have to. With a little help from google, we found Danielle!
After our first meeting on Skype, we looked at each other and said simultaneously, “She was AWESOME!” Danielle stayed that way throughout our entire planning process. She helped up to think of things that we would have never thought of ourselves. She also helped us to find other vendors that would help create the atmosphere we were looking for. Once we booked those vendors she kept in constant contact with them to make sure the day went smoothly! Her attention to detail and organized timelines were just what we needed to keep everyone in the loop and where they needed to be.
We also knew that Danielle would give us honest advice when we asked. She helped us to make the wedding of our dreams come true and we felt like we made a friend along the way! Our families can’t stop talking about how great she was to work with and how impressed they were with Danielle and her team!
If you are thinking about hiring Danielle to help you plan your wedding, stop thinking and book her! She was worth every penny and then some! I used to say “I don’t know how anyone planned a wedding without Pinterest” but now I say, “I don’t know how anyone planned a wedding without Danielle!” A thousand thank yous aren’t enough!

Hiring Danielle and her team (and hiring her early on in the planning process) was *hands down* the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. We got the "signature coordination" package, which meant that Danielle provided guidance, vendor recommendations, checklists, and basically anything under the sun we asked her throughout the planning process (we hired her almost a year out). She is organized, phenomenal to work with, and our wedding went off pretty much perfectly-- at least, as far as we are aware. She and her team were behind the scenes making sure everything was perfect: fixing broken photo booth printers, pinning up my broken bustle, and probably tons of other things I don't even know about. Danielle knew every little detail about how the wedding was supposed to go and made sure it happened. She is fun, upbeat, the most organized and detail-oriented person ever, and an absolute pleasure to talk to and work with. All of the vendors she recommended were wonderful as well, and some of them even gave us a discount as her client. She helped keep the vendors on top of things (some of the ones we had hired that were not on her recommended list were a bit slow sometimes to get moving and she was super helpful poking them and keeping them on task). Also, all the vendors got excited to work with us when they found out she was our coordinator and gushed about how awesome she is (which we absolutely agree with).
Danielle also kept me organized with her monthly to-do lists, which were super detailed and helpful, which helped keep the stress lower during the weeks right before the wedding because we had gotten so much done ahead of time before things got hectic---thanks to her guidance. Basically, I cannot recommend her and her team enough. Also, I wish I lived closer to her so we could hang out now that the wedding is over.

Danielle and her team were phenomenal. They were able to add some sanity and organization to our hectic wedding planning. Our wedding turned out absolutely perfect because of them. By far, the best money we spent on our wedding!
If you're considering hiring a wedding planner/coordinator, hire Danielle. You won't regret it!

Danielle and her team were 100000% incredible. When I started wedding planning I was incredibly overwhelmed and after my first meeting with Danielle I felt a million times better. It as such a weight off my shoulders knowing I would have someone to keep me and everyone else in the wedding on track. Danielle went above and beyond more times than I can count to make sure everything ran smoothly for my wedding. Everyone seems to have a wedding day horror store, and when people ask me for mine I always tell them, "well I really don't have one." I am able to give that answer because of Danielle and the DPNAK team. From insisting that my officiant run through the rehearsal one more time, to making sure I had water during the dollar dance, Danielle was there every step of the way.
She is so so so prompt in answering her emails, and so on top of everything. She kept track of things I didn't even know needed to be kept track of. My fiance was gone through much of the early wedding planning, and it was nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of while he was out of touch. Danielle was incredibly flexible, even willing to do a google hangouts chat after we moved away from Northeastern PA. I would recommend her to anyone, she and her team were incredible!

I am so glad that I am in the position to write a 5 star review for DPNAK Weddings – simply put, Danielle & her team will do everything in their power to make sure your day is just perfect.
During the build up to our wedding, my husband had just started Medical School 6 hours away. I was in the throws of a new job that required travel while also planning for a move the week after the wedding. Having Danielle in the background, keeping me on track and motivated, truly kept me sane during the entire process. No breakdowns and very few stressful moments – a miracle!
In addition to this, our wedding was 2 days after Christmas. A large portion of our bridal party and guest list were traveling in for the weekend, adding some extra logistics on our end. Because it meant so much to us that they wanted to be a part of our day during such a busy time of year, our priority was to create a joyful, fun, & memorable weekend for each of them. This was 100% achieved, largely thanks to DPNAK keeping us on track.
Honestly, words cannot express how much we appreciate all the hard work DPNAK did so that my husband & I could feel completely calm throughout our wedding day. We were able to enjoy each and every moment together, not even thinking to worry about what was happening in the background. As a bride, I was shocked at how relaxed I felt, especially since I had a very large guest list and wedding party. Our bridal party could feel the calm as well, and all of them – along with our family and friends - saw the genuine value that Danielle and the DPNAK Team brought from start to finish.
I am an official fan of DPNAK Weddings and recommend Danielle without hesitation. The cost of her services is truly an investment that you will receive back many times over as you are able to soak in the bliss of your Wedding Day <3

I don’t even know where to begin! Danielle and her team are beyond amazing! At my first meeting with her, Danielle instantly clicked with my mother and me. My mom and I left our meeting with already putting down the deposit for her services. I love that Danielle will tailor her services for whatever you need her for. Whether it’s for rehearsal, ceremony and reception or just rehearsal and ceremony, she will meet your need. Hiring Danielle and her team was definitely one of the best things I could’ve done to make the wedding planning process smooth and painless. Danielle checked in with me every month with to-do’s and was just a quick email away whenever I had a question. I loved how quickly she got back to me, and she never left me hanging! When the wedding was only a month away, she checked in with me every week. The week leading up to the wedding, Danielle handled so much stuff that I didn’t have to worry about. This was such a relief because I was already swamped that week with my own stuff to do for the wedding. I didn’t have to worry about putting together a timeline, confirming with vendors, running the rehearsal, distributing the timeline to the wedding party, or feeling lost and overwhelmed because Danielle handled all of that for me. Because of her, not once did I feel stressed leading up to the wedding, the day before the wedding, or the day of the wedding. Also, so many people in our wedding party complimented her services. At the rehearsal, they couldn’t believe how smoothly it went because she already had everything organized and knew exactly what to do. My husband’s mother thought she was just the best! After the ceremony, our pictures at the church went so quickly because Danielle already had the photo list with each person’s name and got each group ready to go. Danielle is much more than a wedding coordinator, she becomes your friend who will fight for whatever you want. I love her and her team and will always STRONGLY recommend DPNAK Weddings!

I cannot recommend Danielle and her DPNAK team enough to any couple planning their wedding. We opted to do day-of coordination and Danielle and her team went up up up above and beyond what I anticipated. They helped my wife and I think about things we hadn't (How are you timing the procession exactly? What eldery people might need an extra hand? etc.) and Danielle's wealth of experience, was able to offer suggestions and examples from other weddings that we found very helpful.
I know many people are on the fence about having a wedding coordinator--wondering if they need one or can manage without. I too was unsure at first. But let me allay your worries--the DPNAK (very reasonable) fee was THE BEST money we spent for the wedding. It was the greatest bang for our buck because Danielle and her team contributed so much to the wedding, which very importantly helped me to relax and really enjoy the day.
Danielle is incredible to work with and I couldn't recommend her and DPNAK more highly.

Danielle and the DPNAK gang were amazing. She was always on top of everything. Every month leading up to the wedding I received monthly and then weekly to do list that were a big help and the base camp was also a great resource. Are wedding day would not have been the same without Danielle!

I am in a unique position to review Danielle because I have worked with her both professionally (as a photographer) and personally when she coordinated my wedding.
Our wedding was focused on our guests ability to have a fun, care free day and enjoy themselves. All we wanted our guests to know was when to get on the shuttle. But when we starting looking at all the jobs we would have to assign to people, we realized it couldn’t happen by ourselves. Who would make sure the cards and gifts were safe back at our hotel? Who would pack up the candles, sign-in book and cake cutting set and all the minutiae of the day. And the prep work like keep us on track with monthly to-do’s or contacting all our vendors weeks prior and make a master timeline so everyone was on the same page? Who would ensure that my wife and I, and all of our guests were without a care in the world?
Or if something goes wrong, like a button popping off my suit jacket, which Danielle sewed on just in time for our first dance.
In the beginning, I told my wife, “Every wedding I work with her goes so smooth. I wish every wedding I photographed had her coordinating it! Let’s at least Skype with her and see what she’s all about.” From that meeting on, before we knew how hard she would really work for us (and all her couples), my wife and I had the utmost confidence and peace of mind knowing Danielle was at the helm of our wedding. When our wedding day came, Danielle knew our vision for our wedding better than we did!
Sure, there are other coordinators, but no one will be as invested, organized, emotional, prepared, punctual, or have as much joy, spunk, zest for life, or be as excited for your wedding than Danielle. If you are reading this review and on the fence about hiring her, do it. It will be the best investment for your wedding! And if you can’t take my word for it, please, do yourself a favor and get a hold of her so you can see for yourself why you absolutely need her for your wedding!

I cannot speak more highly of Danielle and her team or recommend them enough. I live in NYC and decided to get married on my mom's property in northeast PA in late Sept2014. I had nowhere to start, but I did know that I would need help. I read everywhere that a planner/coordinator is invaluable with a destination or off-site wedding so when I came across her website and I liked what they had to say about their role I decided to do the free consultation.
Danielle has a great combination of easy-going energy and professionalism. She explained her different levels of service and after discussing what I needed (we paid for this ourselves and I have experience with events with work) we decided the "Day-of" services were what I needed. It took some convincing for my then-fiance, but I persisted and he agreed we needed her.
It was the best decision I made. From the get go, she was always very responsive for any questions I had. She has a great recommended vendor list that was really useful for someone from outside the area. When I was torn between DJ's and florists she was able to give me her opinions on all of them because she has worked with them all in the past. I hired my vendors in spring and then a few weeks out from the wedding she took over.
She had an unbelievably detailed timeline that everyone thought was amazing. Her emails were detailed and clear. She kept on top of emails that I sent too (I recommend ccing her on your emails with vendors so she is in the loop). She uses a website/app called Basecamp that was also great. All the to-do's and info was on there readily accessible from anywhere.
On the day of the wedding she and her team shone. They made the place look exactly as I had dreamed of and thought of things I hadn't. She was flexible when things sprang up and helped everything stay on track. My husband and I didn't need to worry about anything and we had a blast. She made our wedding magical. Thank you DPNAK!!!

I'm in a unique position to review Danielle because I'm usually the one working WITH her to make your wedding fabulous! I started working for Danielle as one of her assistants last summer and immediately recognized the value in having a coordinator. Hiring her became an essential and it was one of the best decisions I could have made for my wedding. After seeing all of the tiny (and sometimes not so tiny) things that she does without her couples having any clue that they're happening, I don't understand how people could possibly NOT have a coordinator. Our wedding was way over the top with the amount of work she and her team had to do. I had no doubt in my mind that she was going to get it done and that it was going to be phenomenal. And I was right. When I first stepped into our venue after it was all completely set up, I had a full range of emotions from shock and awe, to disbelief and sheer joy. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to have set it up the way that I wanted it. Danielle did an amazing job and exceeded all of my expectations.
Danielle has become a great friend and I'm truly lucky to have found her. She is kind, caring, and always honest, which, when it comes to planning a wedding, you will appreciate having that input. She is always there for YOU, working her little butt off to make sure you will have a phenomenal day. She will most definitely become your friend as well, and you will appreciate that you can have a bridezilla moment breakdown without her judging you like your mother-in-law would. Hire her for your coordinator. Coming from somebody who has now seen both sides of the picture, that is my advice to you. You will not regret it.

There's not enough room to say everything I need to say... I had to re-write and make it shorter because I could literally go on for days about how excellent Danielle is.
Danielle... truly my LIFESAVER. I really don't know how anything could have gotten done without her. Not only because she is an excellent coordinator (which goes without saying) but she is an honest, down to earth, comforting person that felt like more of a friend than coordinator! She is there for every possible thing you could imagine and even the things you would never imagine. Coming from the type of bride who’s motto was “ehh… whatever. that’s fine.” planning got pushed to the side way too frequently. Being engaged for over two years, Danielle kept me on track the entire time. Throughout those two years, we had frequent emails and check-in’s to stay on the same page with planning. Thank god I had her there to remind me of every little detail that I would have never thought of along the way. Her advice about vendors and packages and everything in general was the biggest help in the whole planning process – this girl knows the wedding scene INSIDE and OUT! Any time you reach out to Danielle, she responded in what seemed like an impossibly quick time (sometimes wondering if my email even sent yet?! – amazing!) She was a great guide to help us decide what was best for us and our venue.
Bottom line – I can’t say enough how helpful and genuinely sweet Danielle is. She made our wedding day perfect. We had no worries and if there were anything wrong, we would have never even known about it because she took care of it in a heartbeat. My entire family is extremely thankful for Danielle because not one person had anything else on their mind but celebrating the love for my husband and I. We enjoyed the entire night thanks to Danielle. I cannot speak highly enough of her. I seriously LOVE her.

Danielle is the consummate professional. I did not know it was possible for one person to be this organized. It’s difficult to imagine someone caring more about your own wedding than you, but I can assure you that she will have a more intimate knowledge of the details of your big day than anyone. She proved to be an invaluable asset during the entire course of planning and on the wedding day. Her warm personality and sense of humor were just a bonus. Sure, you can get married without her. But I certainly wouldn’t recommend it.

Danielle and her team were by far the BEST decision my husband & I made during this entire process. I am a wedding planner, specifically in Destination Weddings. From the beginning, I thought I could do it all. Well, that changed pretty quickly. After finding our venue and knowing what our vision was for our special day, I knew I needed help. We both work full time, and because our venue only really provided the space, tables & chairs, we had to coordinate all of our vendors, which is one of the things we wanted, but doing it by ourselves was just not going to happen.
We hired Danielle for “Day of Coordination”, but she was so much more than that. She provided detailed documents and timelines to help in the planning process (LOVE!). Anytime I needed her, she was there! Just a phone call, email, text, etc. away! Her response time is impressive! I thought I was quick :) She didn’t push me in one direction or the other—she really helped guide us to make the best decisions that were right for us, which is truly unique.
Our venue was Friedman Farms in NEPA on a Sunday. Unlike Saturday weddings, who have access to the barn the entire week prior, we only had it the day of. Yikes! Danielle and her rockstar team transformed the venue and grounds in half of day, which should’ve been a week’s worth of work. We were blown away by the detail. They really helped to turn our vision into a reality and it was absolute PERFECTION! Honestly, to my husband & I, our wedding day was flawless and we owe it to Danielle & her team, among our other vendors, but she was the center of it all and we couldn’t be more grateful! If anything did go wrong, we had no idea! BONUS!
To the #DPNAKWED team, we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did to help create a day that will go down in the books as the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! Our family & friends even RAVED about you!
We heart you!

I was crazy when I decided to start a new job weeks before my wedding and even crazier starting a job several states away. Needless to say, a lot of things got missed in the planning. We overlooked small details that made a big difference, but Danielle swooped in the day before the wedding and was able to help us pull things together. I was able to relax the day of my wedding, like every bride should, while Danielle and her team were able to coordinate all the final touches. I am so glad that we had Danielle there to help because without her I would have gone crazy that day instead of focusing on the most special day of my life.

I'm not sure I can adequately put into words how thankful I am for Danielle. Planning our wedding was nothing like I could have ever expected with the unexpected loss of my father months before the wedding. While I was so excited to marry the man of my dreams, I was overwhelmed by the loss and was not sure if I would be able to fully enjoy the day.
When the wedding day arrived, Danielle was on top of every detail which allowed me to just relax--and not stress about a single thing. I had been worried about it being an emotional day, when in actuality I felt so calm all day long because Danielle was there to field any questions or issues that arose.
Danielle and her team allowed us to have the most prefect wedding day all while keeping everything on schedule. Without a doubt, her services were unmatched and one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding.
I couldn't thank Danielle enough for everything she did and for allowing me the opportunity to have a day that I will cherish forever.

I don't know whether to tear up or smile when writing this review. I booked Danielle for the "Day Of" package when we were about 6-8 months away from the big day. I had a venue, a church, a lot of decorations, and a scatter vision. I knew what i wanted my day to look like but had no idea how to execute it, more importantly i didn't want to have to worry about candles or ribbons on my wedding day. After meeting with Danielle we instantly knew we wanted to hire her. She is an absolute sweetheart and listens to EVERY LITTLE DETAIL you have to share. You would never know she had other brides because she responds promptly with such courtesy that you have a hard time realizing shes your coordinator and not a life long friend. My only regret was that i had not booked her sooner into the planning. She has such an eye for detail and is extremely organized and reliable. She shows up on time and assisted with my other vendors during my wedding even making sure my photographer got his lens that he left behind at church. My card box was safe, my decor was flawless and my memories are filled laughs instead of hiccups. Danielle , you are an AMAZING person and I want to thank you on behalf of my entire family for giving me the wedding day I've wanted since I was a little girl. <3

I have waited a week to make this review hoping I would have more adequate words to express my TOTAL happiness (we surpassed satisfaction for sure) with Danielle's work -- I still do not have those words. My fiance and I are type A individuals -- SERIOUS type A personalities, and there were major issues with communication and responsiveness from our venue; it was as if Danielle stepped into our shoes and took care of everything. We hired Danielle for "day-of" services (month before and day-of technically), and it was literally the best money we spent in our wedding process. We had several special entertainment and transportation logistics, and Danielle was up to speed with those and practically every other detail of our wedding in no time. She is professional, unflappable, knowledgeable, responsive and very astute. Anyone would be crazy not to consider using Danielle for their event.

Danielle and her team were SO fantastic ! We hired her for day-of coordination, but she was so much more ! Each month leading up to the big day, she would send me very handy to-do lists to keep me on a timeline with planning and was always available via phone or Skype if I had questions, wanted her opinion, etc. A few weeks before the wedding, we a had snafu with the bartenders not having the correct certification required by our venue. Danielle was not only all over solving the problem, but was also simultaneously working on a back-up plan to hire an outside bartending company, if we needed to (thankfully we didn't). Lastly, in terms of day-of stuff, I was amazed at the way she brought everything together the way she did. Honestly, I still don't even know how she did it ! From a bride's perspective, if something did go wrong that day, I had no idea. To me, it was seamless ... which I know translates into a lot of behind-the-scenes organization and attention. The day was honestly even better than I could have imagined and we owe a HUGE thank-you to Danielle and her team for that :) Overall, it was wonderful to work with her and I would give her my highest recommendation to others !

Where to start? I was planning a wedding at a venue that had never hosted a wedding before, where I had to transform a clothing store into my reception venue within a few short hours. My mom and I met with Danielle and right from the start I knew that Danielle would be our greatest asset throughout the process. She makes you feel like you are the only client she is dealing with; she responds to questions/concerns quickly, keeps your team organized, and ensures that every detail is covered. Throughout the process Danielle gave me that extra boost of confidence that everything would be okay. She was honest with me, yet always reassuring. On my wedding day, I drove by the clothing store that Danielle and her team would be turning into my reception space in just three hours. I knew that she had everything under control and because of that I could RELAX and ENJOY my ceremony and that's something you can't put a price on. Everything looked perfect and Danielle and her team made the event go seamlessly. I never thought I could be a "relaxed" bride, but Danielle made that possible. I can't thank her and her team enough for allowing Dave and I to enjoy our day! She is truly an invaluable asset!

My heart swoons when I talk about Danielle. Completely cliché, I know, but Danielle absolutely made our wedding day the day of our dreams. She was not only always immediately responsive, but she always treated my questions and requests with the utmost of professionalism and expertise. Danielle not only knew how to plan every detail of the day and resolve any issue we threw her way, but she also had an incredible group of trusted vendors that I came to rely on heavily. She truly works with the best, because she is the best!! She always listened to our "vision", and helped us figure out the best way to get what we wanted, while also making sure our guests would be comfortable and it was a feasible plan. I also can't tell you how much I appreciated Danielle's humor and candor in every situation. She was not only brilliant to work with but so much fun.
Whether you are planning a traditional wedding or something very different and out of the box, Danielle will help you make it happen and won't quit until you're happy. I still don't know if anything actually went wrong on the day of because she was there every second making sure everything was on track and resolved before I even knew about it! I can't recommend Danielle highly enough, she is an absolute dream to work with and is worth every penny. I would recommend her to my best friends and sisters (and already have!!), because she's just the greatest.
Thank you for everything Danielle, Nick and I are so truly grateful for everything you helped us with!!

We hired Danielle as our coordinator for our wedding this past May. She was a huge help both on the day of our wedding and throughout the planning process. She was always available to answer any of my questions and bounce off ideas. She is incredibly organized. Our wedding day was planned down to the minute. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding knowing that she had everything under control. I highly recommend hiring Danielle as your wedding day coordinator – you will not regret it!

I cannot speak highly enough of Danielle...she was simply marvelous from beginning to end. Danielle made sure our rehearsal and wedding went wonderfully. We had a change of officiant which resulted in me having a mini-melt down the week before the wedding, but as soon as I told Danielle of the problem she was already on her way to fixing it. I'm telling you...the woman can work wonders! Danielle truly helped us to have the best day ever. I am so grateful to Danielle and her staff and would highly recommend her to everyone!

Danielle was hands down the best purchase I made for my wedding! I chose the day of coordinator option—which came with WAY MORE than I thought. Danielle was there for me when I had the most random questions, was in a bind, or did not know how to handle a situation and she was there within minutes (sometimes seconds) with help and advise. Her vendor recommendations and relationships really came in handy. I live in San Francisco, but my wedding was in the Poconos. I ended up booking a lot of vendors without even meeting them, based on Danielle's recommendations and they all worked out SO well. Danielle also comes with a little thing called Basecamp—an online project management system that organizes your every thought. You can set up multiple users (parents, fiance, bridesmaids, etc.) so everyone is in the loop.
The week leading up to the wedding Danielle contacted all my vendors to go over schedules and expectations. You can tell a vendor exactly what you want, but sometimes they will say they understand when they in fact do not. Having the vendors chat with Danielle made everyone on the same page and everything go exactly how I envisioned it.
On the day of the wedding Danielle dealt with the demands and concerns of my guests with incredible grace and composure. She is brilliant at getting everything done and keeping everyone happy. She was there all day dealing with the vendors and setting everything up. I did not have to do or worry about a thing. During the wedding she was amazing, keeping everything running, but being incredibly discreet.
Danielle is an absolute must if you want your wedding day to be stress free and flawless.

Danielle is the best!!! She immediately emails or calls you back and is always there to answer any questions you have. She helped out so much from easing differing opinions, to reminding you of things you would have never known to do, and was so key in directing our ceremony. I loved using her because I could handle most of the planning for the wedding but needed someone there to remind me of things I should be doing, not to mention it was nice having someone in my court, saying "Whatever you want to do is fine by me". She relieved so much stress for me on the day of the wedding... She was tucking ferns into napkins, dropping off tips to people, moving tables at the ceremony and pinning boutonnieres on the groomsmen, which meant I was able to relax and not worry about a thing. She even got up super early to complete my seating chart for me the morning of the wedding :) She is so organized and on top of everything and has anything you may find yourself needing in that bag of hers! If you're a worrier like I am, she is amazing at reassuring you everything is going to be fine and if something does go wrong she is there to take care of it before you even realize it's happened. She made my wedding day so amazing for not only me but my family as well because we were all able to relax and enjoy ourselves because we knew she was on top of it all.
She is awesome!!!!

Danielle is an wonderful person to work with during the wedding planning process. Besides her expertise, professionalism and quality of service; she became a confidant and friend. I trusted her opinions on which vendors would be best for our vision and it worked out beautifully. The vendors she recommends are as amazing to work with as Danielle is- they became one team working for the common cause of making this the best day possible. If anything went wrong on our wedding day- I did not know about it because Danielle and the team was there to jump in and handle it. I would recommend Danielle's services to anyone planning a wedding, it was the best decision I made during the process... other than the groom :)

To put it simply: Without Danielle, our wedding would not have been the amazing day it was.
We toured our venue because of Danielle’s confidence in them and how well she thought they’d fit us. Photographer, florist, DJ, makeup, photo booth, & officiant were all recommendations from her. Danielle is amazing at fitting personalities and visions together. We wanted our wedding to be relaxed and fun. Danielle and the people that she recommended never made me feel like I wasn’t planning “the right way” (but I heard this from other potential vendors I found on my own). With that said, Danielle is not a yes-woman: I had complete confidence that if I had a stupid or potentially disastrous idea, she would call me on it and help find a better solution. Her knowledge was invaluable throughout the planning process and without her, I would have spent countless additional hours researching things. Danielle is extremely responsive to email: I often had an answer within 15 minutes of asking a question. We ran into some potentially serious issues the week of the wedding; Danielle took the reins and I had complete confidence that it would be okay. When she looked me in the eye and said ‘I got this’, I knew she did (and being able to do that is normally completely out of character for me)!
On our wedding day, Danielle and her assistant, Shannon, were there from the beginning of the day until the very end, shining the entire time. When I needed someone, Danielle was instantly by my side, often already taking care of whatever needed to be done (and doing a ton that I didn’t even know about until after). Her amazingly detailed timeline for the day was spot-on and I never could have done what she did. It was so calming having her there wearing her many hats: director, holder of knowledge, vendor point-person, wedding party-wrangler. Thank you Danielle (and Shannon) for all the hard work on our wedding - it would not have been the same without you!
