Feeling overwhelmed with excitement, but not sure where to start? Let’s chat, I can’t wait to hear from you! Think of me as your mom’s best friend, the first person she called when you got engaged. Someone she trusts that you can trust too.

Hi, my name is Dana. I don’t just plan weddings, I believe in marriage. As a wife and mom of four adults plus one son-n-law, my family is my greatest source of fulfillment. My unique perspective as a planner-mom helps me serve you even better.

I believe you are worth celebrating and your wedding is worth remembering. Raised in the military by genuinely hospitable and creative parents, I developed a fierce work ethic with a true love for design. From start to finish utilizing unique color themes, lighting elements and elegant table setting details, we create unforgettable experiences for you, your families and your guests.

This unique service is designed for those who prefer a full planning experience. I start by listening and getting to know you. From there, I create a custom experience to reflect your love story and unique style from concept development to grand exit. With excellence and professionalism I will guide you through vendor selections best suited for your style and vision while I also take care of the details with heartfelt attention. I take the planning pressure off with my comprehensive phase-based plan so you can enjoy the process right up to your big day!

After our initial consultation, you will be given access to your Client Planning Site which includes proprietary resources such as a planning checklist, guest tracker, budget tracker, and much more. The strategic planning phases take the guesswork out of wondering what is next and who does what. You are as involved as you hope to be but without the stress. With an approachable style and gentle reminders, we will keep everything on track with consultations as needed. You can rest knowing that our team of event pros will work together to customize your dream day. Essentially my goal is to provide you with confidence and peace while we bring your vision to life!

Also referred to as Month of Coordination, this level of service is designed for those who prefer to do their own planning and vendor management, but value an expert to oversee a comprehensive event day plan. After our initial consultation to discover your wedding day vision and needs, you will be given access to your Client Planning Site which includes proprietary resources such as a planning checklist, guest tracker, budget tracker and much more. The strategic planning phases take the guesswork out of wondering what to do next.

We will have two planning consultations with at least one onsite at the venue to discuss event day vision and details as well as conduct a final walkthrough. I will provide vendor recommendations for your preferred style and budget, detailed confirmation with your vendors during the wedding month, develop a comprehensive wedding day timeline, and oversee all aspects of the wedding day from start to finish. We will set up monthly checkpoints as needed for Q&A to help ensure everything is on track. Approximately six weeks out we will schedule your venue walkthrough to discuss final logistics, layout and design. Even though you have decided to do your own planning, my goal is to provide you with confidence and peace in the process.

I am honored to provide event design and management for corporate events as well as special occasion celebrations. This custom service is for those who might not be certain what type of service you need whether it be a full planning experience for a special occasion event or to do your own planning with an expert to help prioritize the overall plan. I am available to help determine what you need as well as offer guidance on where to start with general planning questions, budget implications, vendor recommendations and more. We live for celebrations and can’t wait to hear about yours!
