Classic Events

all of the decisions to be made. I also worried that the entire process would be extremely overwhelming. However, thankfully through all of it, I had Danielle. She created such a positive environment in which to explore everything, and broke each decision down into manageable pieces. She gently guided me to find what it was I liked, gave me different ideas to consider, and gave me her opinion when I needed it. Danielle has absolutely exquisite taste, so I trusted her guidance in every decision. There can also be a lot of stress when dealing with vendors - but Danielle was always our advocate when it came to negotiating with vendors and figuring out what we really wanted to have at the wedding, and what was unnecessary (so that the money could be better spent elsewhere). Danielle was a constant source of support throughout the entire planning process - whenever I reached out to her, she was there to give me advice about how to best navigate different things that arose, whether it be figuring out table seating or how to coordinate day-of logistics. Danielle and her wonderful team were present with me and my husband on our wedding day and I have to say, I was calmer than I ever thought possible because I knew Danielle had it all covered. I was truly able to be in the moment (from early morning with the bridesmaids until the after-party) because I knew that Danielle was on top of all logistics and would handle any issue that arose. Danielle made sure that the only thing I had to do on my wedding day was enjoy it. The experience and expertise that Danielle brought to each and every aspect of wedding planning was phenomenal. My wedding went off seamlessly and was truly the most incredible night of my life. As I said during wedding planning and have been saying since I got married: the best decision I ever made with respect to my wedding was hiring Danielle.

did an amazing job of meeting all of them while still achieving our vision. We feel very lucky to have had Danielle as our wedding planner!

took so much stress off of our shoulders—she stayed in contact with all of our vendors, including our photographers and videographers who were flying in from out of town—so that we could rest assured that everything would go off seamlessly. Her expertise and experience handling any and all wedding issues put us at ease. Many of our guests weren't able to attend due to the weather, but Danielle quickly handled all last-minute changes to our guest list, adjusted our floor plan, and communicated all changes to the venue. Lastly, Danielle is a true professional and it showed on our wedding day. Thanks to Danielle, our entire day stayed meticulously on schedule. My family and I were so grateful that we were able to sit back and just enjoy the day. She is really incredible at her job and I cannot recommend her enough!

r experiencing Danielle's expertise at their wedding, we knew Danielle would be the perfect choice for our big day too. Danielle made the weeks leading up to the wedding much easier on my husband and I. As the wedding neared, Danielle and I had weekly check-ins to make sure all of the last details were finalized. She created a personalized and comprehensive timeline and checklists to ensure we had everything we needed for our big day. Danielle communicated with all of our vendors, obtained insurance certificates and confirmed timeline details. What could have been a very demanding and time-consuming task for us was all handled seamlessly by Danielle, which we were so thankful for. On the day of our wedding, Danielle was calm and organized. She made sure everything was moving along as planned. We had planned to have an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour but due to rain, we had to move everything inside. Danielle managed lighting and decor alterations to accommodate this change, and only brought items to our attention when necessary. Also, Danielle came to the rescue when my flower girl got trapped in the bathroom in the bridal suite as we were about to leave for photos. I am sure that without Danielle's organization, support and guidance, our wedding would not have come together in the way it did. My husband and I, as well as our families, could not be more grateful for Danielle and would recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone in need of wedding planning services.

ty to get pictures crossing the street. Worth every penny spent. She was excellent and really went above and beyond.

e first time we met Danielle we really liked her approach, she’s always interested to hear what you want to do, making sure the vision is what you want, not necessarily what she did for her last client. If you look at her portfolio one thing is clear, she has fabulous taste and we wanted her help to help us pull it all together, from the welcome bags to the flowers and the cloths, making sure the theme of the wedding was evident in every single detail throughout the entire night. And that’s exactly what she did, she was honest with us when she thought we wouldn’t like something, set up early/often meetings with us when she thought we needed more examples and boiled the million choices down to 2-3 recommendations that were digestible. I also really liked Danielle personally. In the end of the day you spend a lot of time planning your wedding with your planner so you should like them! She is thoughtful, pleasant and respectful. From a planning perspective she’s responsible and always on top of her vendors the way you would want her to be. She is a total pro, especially being from NYC, and has built a great reputation and partnership with a lot of vendors you end up working with (whether she recommended them or you found them yourself). Danielle not only worked with me but my fiancé (who she was adamant could go to her if he needed anything and everything) and my mom. Made sure to handle any family intricacies seamlessly while making sure everyone was happy with every decision. She solved problems almost always before they reached us and always had a solution in hand no matte what came up. In the end there will be something that doesn’t go as planned and having someone to pick up the pieces but also reassure you could not be more important. Day of: If you’re reading this and don’t think you need a full/partial planner but are considering the one month/day of, two words, do it. Her whole staff was so incredibly helpful; I don’t know how we would have gotten through without her. She helped coordinate all of our vendors while drawing out a multiple page time line down to every detail. Its not so much about making sure it happens at the right second, its about making sure you and your family can truly enjoy the entire day without worrying about a thing.

classy. My wedding day was effortless on my part as Danielle and her team managed everything! From the vendors, to first looks, to cake cutting. Not many brides can say that their wedding day was perfect, but I honestly can say that because of Danielle!

ew BIG issues that came up before our wedding and my husband and I were so happy we had Danielle on our team to help! They did a wonderful job creating a flawless day of timeline, communicating to all vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly. We would highly recommend working with Danielle and her team!

wedding of our dreams. Danielle coordinated all the last minute details with our vendors, created a wonderful schedule of events that we shared with our family and wedding party, and MOST importantly she answered everyone's questions so that I could enjoy being a Bride! If you're on the fence, I can assure you that the peace of mind is worth every penny. You are in great hands with Danielle and her team.

professional from the first meeting. She literally provided everything we asked for--her vendor recommendations were spot on, and if we ever had a question or concern about anything, she followed up immediately. She was great at reading my wants and needs and providing advice accordingly--she often made it feel like we were her only clients. I am pretty organized and good at planning myself, and she somehow managed to always be a few steps ahead. But I have to say the absolute highlight of working with Danielle was having her there on our wedding day. I was able to focus 110% on having the best time with my husband because I knew she would be behind the scenes making sure that everything went according to plan. I would highly recommend Classic Events for any bride! Danielle is the ABSOLUTE BEST and totally worth it! My husband and I even missed talking with her regularly after our wedding was over :).

and highly recommend them for planning a wedding.

r on board to delivering a (very large!) wedding present after the reception, they were thoughtful, responsive and attentive throughout.

the right partner to do this with (aside from my lifetime partner) was key. I originally thought I didn’t need a planner because I had the skills, but quickly I learned that the value of having someone who plans wedding in NYC as their life. Danielle was not our first planner, I had a friend who was starting her business as a planner, and then talked with someone who planned a friend’s wedding. Both of them were flakey and didn’t add much value. As I said to my now husband, they won’t help me sleep better the night before our wedding. We were lucky to be connected to Danielle and Classic Events by our florist. The second I spoke with her on the phone, I knew she was a professional. This is what she does. This is what makes her happy... making the day of your dreams a reality. No matter what I threw at Danielle (from getting the Jersey Boys at our wedding, to last minute boozy cotton candy giveaway gifts) she was ready to handle it and help. Though she herself is Catholic, she helped us create a very Jewish wedding that was interwoven with tradition and fun. What many other people thought couldn’t be done (a ceremony for 250, Horah for 300, and buffet station party for 450 until 1am... all in one place) Danielle made a reality. But that’s just the things and events, any planner can do that (in theory). What Danielle provided was piece of mind. Anytime I asked a question she either responded with years of experience or told me she’d look into it (and always did). Leading up to the actual wedding there were issues (escorts cards not arriving, shuttle buses with incorrect addresses, and a giant Jenga set that never left my apartment to get to the venue) and Danielle not only handled them all, but guided me through making the right decisions to reduce my stress. Often she didn’t even tell me about a problem until she and her team had solved it. She also helped navigate conflicting family priorities and making everyone happy with the grace of an angel. Our actual wedding was incredible!!! Most things were perfect, and anything that didn’t go as planned was better than what was planned :) that’s the magic of Danielle, she makes right what goes a little off the rails and you only notice that the train reached its destination, none of the bumps a long the way. I can’t wait to recommend her to every bride I meet.

o help us achieve our vision. From thoughtful vendor selections and design recommendations, to flawless day-of execution, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Beyond her absolute professionalism, Danielle's kind, thoughtful and calming demeanor put us at complete ease. Looking back on our day, there isn't a single thing we would change. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Classic Events, and feel particularly lucky to now be able to call Danielle a friend.

ute professionalism. We felt like Danielle was truly part of our team throughout the entire process. She’s a sweet person to talk to and always available to listen if you have concerns etc. about anything along the way. Our wedding day was flawless and we’d choose Danielle and Classic Events 100x over looking back. Thanks for making our wedding day dreams come true, Danielle! 👰🏼❤️🤵🏼

l. But, it was apparent to me from my first meeting with Danielle that not only was she a true professional who knew the industry inside and out, but she was kind and someone I would enjoy working with. I was incredibly relaxed on my wedding day and it was 100% due to the fact that I had Danielle by my side and I had full confidence that she had everything under control. Everything went off without a hitch and it is all due to her tireless efforts. As a testament to how wonderful Danielle and her team are, by the end of the wedding, I felt so sad that we wouldn't be working together anymore that I immediately started to conjure up events in my mind that I could hire them to plan for me. Don't let Danielle's kindness fool you - she is beyond competent and totally kick-ass but in a very sophisticated way. I really don't think there is anything Danielle can't do and hiring her was the best thing we did for ourselves and for our wedding. We could not have done it without her!!

ance of our formal venue with a desire to throw a fun party for all our guests, while incorporating personal touches. It was evident in all our meetings with vendors that Danielle has strong relationships across the city, and is able to identify the best combinations for her clients. She was extremely responsive and patient throughout planning, and ready to help out with anything (even when you accidentally drop a fork of food down your wedding dress in the middle of cocktail hour). We didn’t have to worry about a single detail the day of our wedding, Danielle was always steps ahead of us and keeping everyone on schedule.

, so everything was under the gun. I found the whole wedding planning task to be very daunting, as I’m just not that fabulous at planning anything, frankly, and I’m certainly not the most organized soul on the planet. But Danielle took me on fearlessly, and gently guided me through everything that needed to be done, from getting the invites ready to booking all the vendors. And the people at Classic Events seem to know all the best vendors out there. Everything was great, the photographer was just awesome, the venue was perfect, the florist was amazing, and the cake was beautiful. Add to that the fact that Danielle and her team had to deal with some very fractious family members of mine the day of the wedding, and did so with aplomb. I have to say I can’t recommend Classic Events highly enough. I give them an A+++++.

of our questions. Danielle is always professional and patient and is truly so knowledgeable about all aspects of wedding planning. I couldn't imagine the big day without their help - everything ran so smoothly and they put me at ease. Weddings are hectic no matter what, so having that extra help is so important. I would absolutely recommend Classic Events.

dding was. My husband and I are so happy with how our wedding turned out and how amazing Danielle and her employees were. It was an experience I will never forget. Danielle Is very professional, creative, stays on budget, and really gets to know her clients. We truly were blessed to have her by our side during this journey. And because of her I didn't have to remember all the little things and I could focus on just enjoying my big day!

s through the overall planning and designing processes; save the dates and invitations; floral design; lighting; decor; the list goes on. Game day execution was IMPECCABLE! We always heard couples say that they were so stressed out planning their wedding and even during their weddings.. I don't understand why! Danielle and CE took care of everything AND made sure that we were happy at all times. We never once felt an ounce of stress - I almost feel guilty saying that! We contemplated attempting to go about this wedding planning stuff on our own - thank goodness we didn't! It felt so overwhelming trying to plan every little thing- so after a few hours of reading a million sites and printing a million to-do lists, we decided that it would be best for our future together to look for a planner. Thankfully, the heavens opened and shone a light on Danielle! We couldn't be more thankful and appreciate of all the effort put into our big day. There's no WAY in the world that we could have enjoyed our wedding as much as we did had Danielle and CE not been a part of it. Thanks to CE, we were also able to perfect little nuances of our wedding day, like customized candy, gift bags, and other little keepsake items. If we had to plan the entire thing ourselves, we would have never had the time to think of the little things that turn out leaving lasting impressions! I could really go on and on about Danielle and CE, and I'd be happy to if you wanted to reach out to me, but the moral of this story is: if you want to make your wedding the best day of your life, you need to consult with Danielle and her team at Classic Events. They are, hands down, the most professional, accountable, trustworthy, kind and incredibly thoughtful event planners out there. Danielle goes far beyond her outlined services and gives you a piece of herself throughout the entire process. She has most certainly become part of the family now! Thank you Danielle and Classic Events!

se we knew Danielle had everything covered. She is pure magic! We were so grateful to work with her!

nce throughout the process. I felt she always conveyed our desires, and respected our feelings. Her chic taste worked perfectly with the look we were going for. Danielle was always there for a hug and advice, and has an amazing eye from everything from venue set up to hair and makeup. By the time that the wedding came this past August, not only did she help create one of the best days of our lives, but if she wasn't at the actual wedding, I would have sent her an invite!

s. Danielle did a great job communicating with them and taking care of all details associated with working with each individual company. Danielle was always responsive over e-mails and was always respectful of our concerns and wishes (even if some were out of the ordinary!) Our wedding was beautiful & we had an amazing time. Nothing would have come together so seamlessly if it wasn’t for Danielle and her team. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for wedding help!
