We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle from Before Ever After. As our month-of coordinator, she was everything we hoped for and so much more. She brought an inc...

redible sense of calm, professionalism, and precision that allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding day without a single worry. Danielle was organized, thoughtful, and completely on top of every detail. She followed our plans and instructions perfectly and coordinated with our vendors seamlessly—if there were any issues behind the scenes, we never knew about them. Everything ran like clockwork, and we were able to be completely present in every moment. She also brought a kind, intuitive energy that made such a difference, not just for us, but for our family and friends too. One example of how great she is: when it was time for cake cutting, Danielle saw that I was having the time of my life on the dance floor and didn’t rush me. She waited until the moment felt right, and it was such a small but deeply appreciated gesture that showed how tuned in she was to what mattered most. Danielle helped bring it our wedding day to life in a way that felt effortless. Everything was beautiful, perfectly timed, and filled with joy—and we owe so much of that to her. She is a true pro with a warm heart, and we are endlessly grateful!!

Danielle and her assistant Emily were wonderful throughout the entire wedding process, I would highly recommend her! She communicated with us multiple times before our wedding to m...

ake sure that all the details were in order so the day would run smoothly, which it did! We had two separate venues so I was a little nervous about the logistics but Danielle had everything organized, the day flowed perfectly. When planning a wedding you want to make sure everything goes as planned and Danielle really put my mind at ease, I felt so safe with her being my coordinator. Even all of my married friends said that she was absolutely amazing and I did a great job finding her! She understood the vision I wanted for the wedding and showcased the decorations/setup just how I wanted it. If you need to hire a coordinator for a wedding a big event I would 10/10 recommend her.

Dani was great to work with from start to finish. Our wedding day was extremely windy, so Dani and her team adapted the plan and executed a perfect wedding. She did tell quite a ...

few people “that’s not my job,” which my husband and I were shocked to learn since she was so kind to us. Overall, we were happy with Dani and her team but were upset that our wedding party wasn’t treated with respect.

To say we're satisfied with Danielle's work is an understatement; she really went above and beyond to make all of our dreams come true!

Could not recommend Danielle and her team with Before Ever After more! She helped me with month- and day-of coordination, but was available even before then to run ideas by and giv...

e suggestions which was super helpful. As we got closer, she made sure we had every detail in order, and helped us make realistic decisions while making sure we were able to stick to what was important to us. I had fun planning but knew I didn’t want to be stressed with last minute coordination on my wedding day - and I felt absolutely at ease knowing every detail of my wedding day was in excellent hands. Thank you for helping us pull off the wedding of my dreams!

ccessful event. Danielle reached out to us ahead of our event together to make sure everyone had all they needed, asked if there were any questions, and to touch base in general. She was very responsive when I did have questions, and communicated throughout the event from start to finish. She has a great eye for detail, and made all of the hard work they put into this event seem effortless! She (as well as her assistant) was professional and friendly, and we look forward to many more future events with Danielle and Before Ever After Co. Thank you for being so easy to work with!
