Amethyst Events LLC

As a wedding photographer, I don't often write reviews for other vendors, but if I do, it's because I believe that the vendor experience gives a novel perspective on what it feels like to work with a planner closely. And when it comes to Danielle of Amethyst Events, I absolutely had to share my thoughts. I had the pleasure of working with Danielle for the first time in the summer of 2023, and it happened to be one of the most unique weddings of my entire career. Our couple, L&C, wanted to celebrate their love in a way that was true to their adventurous nature, and Danielle made it all possible. From getting married on standup paddleboards in South Lake Union to having a larger reception at Sole Repair, Danielle not only encouraged L&C to stay true to themselves but also had the magic and means to execute their vision flawlessly. What I loved most about working with Danielle was her unwavering commitment to making our couple’s vision real and just as vibrant as they imagined. She never tried to fit their wedding into a predetermined box; instead, she listened to their needs and transformed them into reality (with a little touch of her sparkledust). There was never a ‘checklist’ of things that they had to do at their wedding: she truly attended to how they wanted to spend their wedding day. Her organization and communication leading up to the day were impeccable, and she lent a unique perspective on tiny logistical things I would have never known to pay attention to! On the day of the wedding, Danielle was there from start to finish, orchestrating every moment with her inherent warmth, grace, and precision. She went above and beyond, putting up signs around the park so L&C's family knew where to go, setting up chairs, and even finding a mic situation that worked on the water. Her hard work culminated in one of the most ethereal experiences for every guest and passerby alike. It felt like a dream to watch L&C emerge from the distance on the water, with the city skyscrapers behind them. But Danielle's dedication didn't stop there. She joined us for the bride and groom portraits, after L&C changed out of their 'ceremony on the water' attire and into their 'getting married' outfits. I've never had a planner look out for the little details during portrait hour, but Danielle was their biggest cheerleader (and mine)! The reception at Sole Repair felt seamless from start to finish, thanks to Danielle's leadership skills and encouragement; the venue was thoughtfully decorated in what felt like a blink of an eye. Working with Danielle was an absolute joy, and it was inspiring to see her shine in her element. She truly embodies what it means to be an exceptional wedding planner, and her love for her work ensures that every client receives the same level of dedication.

Danielle was a pleasure to work with. She came recommended through mutual friends, and it was a timely connection. We were just starting to tear our hair out at the enormity of the event we had created, when Danielle stepped in and calmed the waters. She asked the right questions and worked closely with us in the lead up to the wedding. On the rehearsal and wedding days she was there from start to finish coordinating the vendors, placating the confused aunties, and giving us the space we needed to actually enjoy our wedding. I don't know what we'd have done without her!

We had the pleasure of working with Danielle as our wedding coordinator for our wedding at Sole Repair Shop in 2022. Danielle's attention to detail, and ability to navigate logistical challenges allowed us to enjoy every moment of our wedding without any stress or worry. She orchestrated the entire event, ensuring that everything ran smoothly from start to finish according to our vision for the day. Thank you, Danielle for making our special day unforgettable.

My then finance and I originally hired Danielle for our 2020 wedding which didn’t take place due to COVID. We later held a reception party which we re-hired her for and got to experience her expertise from start to finish. She initially impressed us not only by her experience and great communication, but also by immediately spotting a budget flaw from the venue and saved us over $1200 on the bar portion. Her previous experience on the venue side of event planning was so valuable. She provided excellent timelines and updates, had amazing suggestions, and asked thoughtful and thorough questions of things we’d never think of. In addition, she was very caring and detailed about our wants! The reception party day went smoothly with her managing the party agenda forward and working closely with the venue point of contact. We also were able to get fun activity ideas from her which our guests raved about! Danielle is an excellent event planner and a great person to work with, my husband and I highly recommended Danielle!
