    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. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout the planning process to keep us on track and sent regular reminders to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. Danielle answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly, making the planning process seamless. Her level of work ethic and attention to detail is truly exceptional. Danielle is so personable and really took the time to get to know us, ensuring our wedding day perfectly reflected our personalities. On the day of, Danielle kept the entire wedding party organized with detailed itineraries and discreetly checked-in with us to make sure we were where we needed to be. In the whirlwind of the event, Danielle's exceptional planning and execution allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. We are beyond grateful for Danielle and the DPNAK team and cannot recommend them highly enough.

    From that very first email, Danielle was nothing but incredibly helpful, detailed, and positive throughout our entire wedding planning experience. She truly thinks of EVERYTHING- and makes sure you are as prepared as possible for the big day. She dealt with some high emotions (cue the Alanis lyric, "it's like rain on your wedding day") with the perfect mixture of care and professionalism and everyone (bride, groom, and all our families) agreed that she is a true force. If you are at all on the fence, THIS IS YOUR SIGN to hire Danielle!! You won't regret it for a second.

    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!

    Hiring Danielle was the best decision we made for our wedding. Even though we had a venue coordinator, we felt a wedding planner was needed with so many details and moving parts and boy were we right! Danielle coordinated seamlessly with the venue coordinator to maximize all the venue had to offer. She held our hands through the entire process with her organization, responsiveness, and gentle pushing where necessary. She was patient with us when we had questions or needed to talk through ideas. On the wedding day, we were able to enjoy every moment without worrying about any details, trusting Danielle and her team were handling everything. I even thought to myself on multiple occasions “I have no idea where XYZ goes, but Danielle has it covered so I’m not worried.” Wedding planning can be an emotional rollercoaster, but we will certainly cherish the memories of planning our big day thanks to Danielle’s help. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, do not hesitate to choose Danielle!
