About this vendor

I am Dana M. McGinley and I offer event planning and design that is custom tailored to fit my clients needs. I created this business four years ago when I saw a great need in my area to connect people, creativity, and vendors to make (mine then, and now yours) dreams become reality. Together we can throw out the rule book and break down the obstacles standing in your way to have the wedding you've been dreaming of since you were a little girl in your grandmother's pearls. My love of fashion, art, and design make our creative possibilities endless. Call me when you need a creative angle, organization assistance, or are just plain losing your mind and ready to elope. From your engagement to your honeymoon, your wedding planner can be your best resource.

Dana was truly a God send during the entirety of the wedding process. i'm currently working full time and in grad school, so planning a wedding on top of that felt overwhelming but Dana made everything so much easier. From dealing with a caterer that fell through and recommending another one that ended up having much better food, to helping us to find the most amazing seamstress for my dress, Dana was truly wonderful. But, as amazing as she was throughout the planning process, where Dana really shone was during the rehearsal and ceremony/reception. She kept my (very large!) wedding party on task during the rehearsal, did an amazing job decorating the reception,stepped up when we needed another pair of hands at the bar, helped to bustle my ridiculously long dress, and even washed dishes at the end of the night, along with all the other tasks involved with making sure a wedding runs smoothly and on schedule. On top of all this Dana is just a nice and personable person and you feel like you are working with a friend, not an impersonal professional. Thank you so much, Dana!

Dana truly went above and beyond for our November 2017 wedding. From day 1 we clicked & knew our day was in good hands but NOTHING could have prepared us for just how crucial Dana would prove to be to our day running smoothly. Along the way of planning our wedding ran into our fair share of "OH NO" moments, which could have been catastrophic had it not been for Dana (think losing THE wedding dress to possible nude male paintings on our art gallery walls, to running out of toilet paper during the reception). Everything that could've gone wrong she made right and the amount of work she put in behind the scenes on the day of ensured everything ran smoothly. Anything that needed handled she took care of with speed, efficiency and unbeknownst to us until after the fact. There are not enough positive words in the English language to effectively convey how amazing Dana is and how her dedication to our wedding made it absolutely perfect. We would hire her 1000xs over and absolutely recommend her services to all.

Dana was beyond amazing! She made my vision on the day of the wedding come to life! In the months leading up to the wedding, she was wonderful and helpful with choosing vendors and even going to appointments with us! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! The day and night of the wedding was a stress free and magical day because of her expertise and great planning!

Dana is absolutely incredible. From the first time we met, we both knew she was going to be "the one" to help us plan our dream wedding. During the entire process, we had the usual 'hiccups' but Dana kept at it and made everything come true. It truly felt like we were her only clients - she was always available, always a text away...no matter what was going on. I can't imagine how our day would have went without her. Thanks Dana for bearing with us and making this such an easy process!
