I loved my experience! The day of the wedding, I had very little to worry about. The team was very professional and made sure everything went accordingly. They made my vision come to life! She also gives great deals throughout the year. I caught a great special!
Excellent event!!!
Danyelle is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. My Give Black Mothers Their Flowers Event was absolutely perfection. She pays attention to details and that takes the event to the next level. I’m also grateful for her day of coordination because not only was my event on time but it ran flawlessly. I also loved how she prayed over every chair in the room before the event started. This prayer let me know that God was in the room and that every single person who attended would be covered and protected by God.
Any questions?
Always introduces herself to vendors PRIOR to event coordination!
Danyelle deserves more than 5 stars! She is an absolute gem to work with and did an amazing job planning our celebration event. She is a very detail oriented professional, who knows how to bring your ideas to life. If you need someone to plan a special occasion for you, don't hesitate to hire Danyelle. She does not disappoint!
There is not enough I can say about Danyelle. I hired her during an incredibly stressful time while planning for my wedding. She came in and was definitely a breath of fresh air. I felt instantly relieved after our first conversation. Danyelle advised that she wanted to ensure I was stress free, especially due to my pregnancy. She absolutely achieved that. Danyelle was very knowledgeable about the wedding industry and was connected to many vendors. This was truly a blessing as this allowed me to fulfill all necessary vendors and all communication was managed by Danyelle. On the day of the Wedding, Danyelle and her team handled the coordination effortlessly. I received so many compliments from other vendors as well as wedding attendees regarding the appreciation for the smooth transitions on the wedding day by Danyelle and her team. I would absolutely recommend Danyelle to anyone considering hiring a coordinator.
DTEP executed my vision for my daughter's bridal shower with ease and perfection. Danyelle was easy to work with. She offered ideas that I had not thought about. Doing it with a smile and the utmost in professionalism.
Danyelle The Event Planner is
* Professional
* Organized
* Patient
* Efficient
* Precise (decorator)
* Creative
* Results driven
She was available through out the entire planning process. She answered questions about the event when needed. She constantly checked on all details regarding the event. Danyelles’ design and decoration details were beyond my expectations. She made sure everything was perfect. I had an amazing experience with Danyelle, “DTEP”.
The outcome was what I was looking for.
You will start working with Danyelle as your wedding coordinator, and you will leave in the end with Danyelle as your friend. She warmly embraces each opportunity to connect with you on a personal level to make your big day as meaningful and smooth as possible. Her execution on the wedding day was absolutely amazing and she did so much to put out little fires that we as the couple didn't even know were happening. That's the mark of someone who's passionate about what they do, and it made all the difference on our wedding day. She made sure the day was so calm and peaceful for us leading up to the ceremony, and the ceremony/reception was no different. We wholeheartedly thank Danyelle for the love that she puts into her work because it truly elevated our big day!! My husband and I highly recommend booking Danyelle for your Day of Coordination need! 💕💕💕
Danyelle, Danyelle, Danyelle! She exceeded every expectation my husband and I had for our baby shower. I sent my vision and she executed effortlessly. We appreciate her beyond words and are in awe to this day of how it came out! Her team was very professional and prompt, always there when we needed them to be. Even outside of their scope of business, they helped serve our guests and accommodated us entirely. Thank you again Danyelle, we are now forever clients!
Word’s does no justice for the excellent work that Danyelle does!! She was amazing, her coronation is on point, timing was on point, and the knowledge she possessed is second to none. She was god sent!!! And worth every penny and more!! Please make her your next Event Planner. #DanyellTheEventPlanner
Danyelle was an absolute blessing! She took care of all the details during our event and made sure everything was smooth so we could enjoy the celebration!!! Thank you Danielle!!
Danyelle is amazing. I am from out of town and was trying to plan my husband's birthday party in New Orleans on my own. In December 2022, about a month before the party, I knew I needed help. I reached out to Danyelle, and within an hour, she was on the job. My husband's party was on January 28, 2023 and it was perfect. Danyelle understood my vision and brought it to life. Danyelle, thank you for everything!
Patrick and I would like to thank Danyelle The Event Planner for planning and coordinating our wedding just as we imagined. You took my vision and ran effortlessly to make our special day unforgettable. DTEP and her staff stayed on task from the the beginning of our wedding ceremony right down to the reception in which everyone enjoyed. Thank you so much!💕
The Best Ever, Danyelle And Her Staff Made It So Easy For Me. (The Groom) I Expressed How I Didn’t Want Our Wedding To Be A Job. They Understand The Assignment And Made Our Special Day Amazing DTEP ❤️. Thank You.
Danyelle and her team were the BIGGEST blessing for my sister’s wedding! From the day we hired Danyelle, and all the way up to the wedding day, she has been with us and made everything so much easier! I can not recommend these people enough!!! They were the BIGGEST help on the day of the wedding, and took care of literally EVERYTHING! They have a special place in my heart, and I will forever be grateful for them!!
Danyelle and her staff are absolutely amazing people and so awesome at what they do. They made my nieces special day a dream come true. Would highly recommend them to anyone planning their special day. Love you Danyelle and Tasha.
Where do I begin, Danyelle and her team by FAR made my wedding day perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend them 110%. We became family from the very first day I spoke to Danyelle. Her team made sure that my husband and I were taken care of thoroughout our entire wedding planning process. To say that this team was amazing is an understatement. Danyelle goes above and beyond for her clients and her faith in God is what touched us the most. We love her entire team dearly and they will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Danyelle & her team made the Chenevert wedding go as perfect & smooth as humanly possible!! If I could write a book and leave 100,000,000 stars I would. There aren’t enough words I could say to describe how amazing, kind hearted, driven, and selfless as this team! The love Danyelle shows for her career is like no other. They ARE perfect. They ARE who you would regret not hiring! I’m hoping not too long from now, this team will be coordinating my wedding being I’m alwayssss a bridesmaid!😊
We hired Danyelle to be our day of coordinator for our wedding but Danyelle was much more. Danyelle, started working on our 8 weeks before and was available to answer questions for us throughout our wedding planning journey. She paid attention to details and make sure everything was on time and in order. There were some last minute things that I forgot to pick up and Danyelle made sure those things were handled. The day of I didn’t have to think about anything . If you are looking to hired a wedding planner or day of coordinator I would highly recommend Danyelle because she was more than a planner…Danyelle became part of the family. 💕
Simply amazing! Danyelle planned a surprise 40th birthday for my wife and she went over the top! I can’t say enough about how thorough she was in making this day special. She’s first class in all that she does, but still has your budget in mind at all times. She will most defiantly plan my next event.
I would like to say Dayelle is the BEST. She made our day so special, she was professional, and had a great line communication. I will hire Danylle for any event I have ..
First I have to say if I could gave Danyelle a 10 star I would because she definitely deserves it....Danyelle is the best wedding planner ever...the first time I met Danyelle I felt like I knew her forever becauses she made me feel welcomed....what I loved the most about Danyelle she always made feel like I was a priority...I didn't matter what time I texted or called her about questions she always answered me.....I remember me giving Danyelle my vision and she made it become a reality....omg on wedding day all I had to do was get dress...Danyelle made sure everything was perfect just the way I imagined it....Danyelle worked sooooo hard day after day and some nights.... I don't think i could have done this Hawaii Wedding without Danyelle because she gave it a 1000%....and if I had to do it all over again I still would choose you... I had NO REGRETS AT ALL I have to say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK JOB WELL DONE....your the best at what you do
In less than 2 months and with other obligations, Danyelle and her team coordinated an amazing 60th Birthday celebration for my Husband. Her professionalism and her beautiful spirit made it easy to work her but the proof of her work was an extremely happy husband and guests!
Danielle and her team were spot on with communication! We flew to Hawaii for my friend's wedding and it did not disappoint thanks to Danielle!
Danyelle was the best!! She was a calm presence in the midst of all the stress of wedding planning. And even better is, she really cared about how I was feeling and checked in constantly. On the day of, she thought of everything and helped make our vision come true!! My husband and I couldn’t recommend her more. She had my full trust and really made the whole process easier/a success!
Danyelle is truly amazing at what she does! We came to her and full trust and let her work her magic for our wedding day and was not disappointed. No matter what, she put her clients first in every situation. My husband and I formed a bond with our wedding planner and we love it!
Danyelle has been nothing short of a blessing to our family! From the start, she welcomed us with open arms and assured my husband and I that she had us and would make sure we had the most memorable day ever! Needless to say, Danyelle did just that! She is truly one of a kind and passionate about her craft and she listens. We told her about how special the loved ones that we lost were to us and she insured she incorporated them into our special day. I will always cherish that!:)
For her, it is not just about wedding planning, but really getting to know her client and cultivating that personal relationship. She wants to see your love and marriage flourish and prosper. Thank YOU, Danyelle, for everything!!!
Danyelle was the best planner!! She took our vision and turned it into more than I could’ve imagined! She was not only my planner, but my friend and confidant! I 100% recommend her!
Danyelle was absolutely amazing! Our day could’ve been a total mess, but she handled it all!! Thank you so much Danyelle!!!
Danyelle did a fantastic job setting up for my sister’s engagement party! It looked beautiful and I would recommend her to everyone!
Danyelle did an amazing job coordinating our 10 year vow renewal. From beginning to end she was attentive and very professional. I couldn't have asked for a better planner.
Danyelle did an amazing job with our engagement party. Everything was absolutely beautiful and most of all, she gave my fiancé the peace of mind he wanted so that we could sit back and enjoy the event. She was responsive, thorough, kind, enthusiastic, professional, prompt, and she ensured that I had the perfect day.
We came to Danyelle with an idea for an engagement party and she exceeded our expectations. She was phenomenal and very professional. She had everything in order and on time. She did so well with this event we booked her for our wedding coordinator for our wedding in 2022. If you are looking for a person to get the job done and right, she’s definitely the one!
Y’all - I don’t know how she does it! In July 2021, we originally had our wedding planned for 10/29/21 and within DAYS of working with Danyelle, we had my dress, venue, and bridesmaid's dresses done! At the end of July, my grandmother fell ill and I completely dropped the wedding planning, but Danyelle continued without me even realizing it. In August, we had a scare that my husband would be locked down at the Air Force Base due to COVID meaning possibly no wedding AND we were on a tight schedule because of his orders! This girl planned an entire secret ceremony, while sick herself, for us within 2 WEEKS and we were officially married on 8/14/21. We already had the majority of the October wedding planned and paid for so we decided to proceed and see how the rest of the pandemic would go. October comes along and my husbands military schedule changed to him being busy the day of our wedding and required him to stay on the base 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 I was over it at this point but SOMEHOW she managed to keep the venue and change the date on our decor to 10/30/21! My grandmother did pass away in September and she surprised me with a memorial for her 🤍 (and many other surprises 😉). With all that being said, if you need it done or want it done a certain way, Danyelle will do it for you!

Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2021
It’s was my pleasure. Thank you for choosing #dtep!
Danyelle was more than an event planner, she became part of that family. She made sure that everything was perfect for my sisters Bridal Shower. Danyelle surprised the Bride to be with a few surprises of her own. You expect exceptional work from her and she puts her all into it. I am forever grateful 😘😘😘
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2021
Awww! It was truly a pleasure! God Bless!
When planning my 30th birthday all I knew was that I wanted to it to be small in number, elegant, and pink. After my 1st consultation with DTEP, I knew she was the one for the job. She took care of EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING! I literally just showed up. Every detail was perfect and she executed my vision in ways I could not put into words. If you are looking for a planner who cares about her clients and gives you exactly what you want all while making the process stress free, Danyelle is your girl! Danyelle truly is living in her purpose and lives by her company motto. I would recommend her to anybody. I cannot wait until we start wedding planning. This is just the beginning of events, DTEP will be planning for me. I will forever be grateful for her.
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2021
It was a pleasure, I can’t wait until the next event!
Making the decision to hire Danyelle INSTANTLY lifted weight off my shoulders. I am a natural planner in my everyday life, so when my Jamaica wedding was moved to Baton Rouge, La due to Covid...I went to work! Choosing vendors was one thing, but the thought of having to coordinate all the little details myself was slowly proving to be out of my league! Danyelle was my first choice for the job and she did not disappoint. From listening to my “unique” ideas and making them happen, to keeping me calm and reminding me to enjoy the moment and leave it all up to her...she didn’t miss a step! Every single desire that I had for my wedding was fulfilled. Danyelle is a natural at her craft and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a planner or coordinator!
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2021
My pleasure. I truly appreciate you choosing me! I forward to working with more!
Danyelle is a phenomenal event planner, she made sure my day went just as I wanted every wish was granted. She goes above and beyond just event planning, I would recommend her to any bride to be.
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2021
Awwwww! You all are soo sweet! It was my pleasure!
DTEP IS AMAZING! From the attention to small details to the large overwhelming task...there wasn’t a stone unturned. My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on 04/10/21. We were able to relax and enjoy the moment. Although DTEP is based in Louisiana, the distance to Frisco, Texas (Dallas) did not alter the professionalism, punctuality, nor precision. We were thoroughly satisfied.
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2021
Awwww! I would do it again, it was truly my pleasure!
Let me explain to you just how Danyelle of DTEP is absolutely amazing at her job. I came to her in June of 2019 wanting to getting married in March 2020. I had no vision, theme, colors, location, or anything else you need to have a wedding. I just told her I wanted something small, intimate, & iridescent. I gave her control over EVERYTHING. And did she succeed??? HELL YES! She handled everything from decor to venue to bridesmaid dresses to all my vendors. Everything was ready to go! And then in March 2020, just a few days before my wedding, the COVID-19 pandemic arrived and cancelled it. I was devastated and didn’t want anything to do with my wedding anymore. This is when she became even more amazing then before!! She kept everything afloat! We decided to postpone the wedding until March of 2021. During that time, she remained constantly in contact with me & reinsured me that I will get married and it will be beautiful. Well, just like she promised, my wedding turned out to more then I could ever imagined. She stayed true to my initial request and my husband & I didn’t have to worry about anything on our big day. She coordinated everything so all we had to do was enjoy ourselves! Overall, Danyelle is an absolute blessing. She put her all into her planning, decorating, & coordinating. If you want to have a stress free time planning your wedding, then look no further then DTEP. My husband and I will forever be grateful for the greatest wedding she provided!
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2021
Wow! It was journey that I would do again! It was truly my pleasure!
Danyelle had the pleasure of helping my Bestfriend dream wedding come to life. From day one she began to work her magic and make sure that everything ran smoothly. All the way down to her bachelorette weekend, she literally covers every detail! Due to COVID-19 and the state-mandated orders, the wedding was canceled only a few days before the wedding and was postponed until this year. But Danyelle worked hard and made everything so easy! She did a beautiful job and extremely professional. She’s definitely the one to call when you have an event.
Response from the Vendor on 03/23/2021
I appreciate you! Thank you so much! It was my pleasure.
Danyelle was more than an event planner for me. She provided me with wise decision making skills and made sure I didn’t cut corners on the things that matter the most to me and my husband. Many brides start off thinking about what the guest would want and completely loose site of what means the most to the bride and groom. I had a beautiful intimate wedding in Hawaii. Danyelle assisted me from start to finish. Every picture, every idea, and even last minute changes, I had was defiantly delivered to me on my wedding day. I walked out and viewed the ceremony and had to hold back my tears 😭. I’m forever grateful for her dedication and sweet spirit. #AlohaBellazan

Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2021
It was truly my pleasure to be apart of her day! Thank you for choosing me! God Bless!
Danyelle does an absolutely amazing job on weddings but also helps plan other events! She put together our daughters 8th grade graduation celebration after my daughter won a competition her business offered to 2020 graduates who weren’t able to celebrate the way they wanted due to COVID. Danyelle handled everything from the event reservations, private room set up with table and chair decor and balloons, special wait staff to help our teens with anything they needed during the event and photos to help our precious girl remember the incredible event.
Danyelle holds a special place in my heart and in our communities’ heart. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that all aspects of your event are perfect. Her great taste shines through on every piece she puts together. She is God’s gift to event planning!
Response from the Vendor on 01/05/2021

Danyelle planned our wedding nov 21,2020
And when I tell you she was absolutely amazing when I stressed for no reason she reminded me everything was fine . She wasn’t just a planner we gained such a great bond and she helped me get through the worst when I thought it was the end of the world. She did not disappoint everything was satisfying.

We lovedd her and she did amazing❤️

It was truly pleasure! I’m glad I was able to be apart!
Danyelle is a wonderful event planner. She made sure that our surprise engagement party went smoothly and had every detail thought out. I really appreciate her working with my fiancé to put this together for me. She was given little direction by him, and still made something very beautiful happen. I would recommend her to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 01/05/2021
It was my pleasure! I look forward to the wedding!
Danyelle has a God given gift to pay close attention to details. She accompanied the Bellazan’s bridal party to Honolulu, Hawaii, 2019. She was professional and an absolute joy to work with. I watched as she was being summoned all over the place, but she never wavered. She consistently gave guidance and smiled throughout the entire event. I wholeheartedly recommend Danyelle for any event you are planning. She is a joy to work with!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you dearly. It was my pleasure.
I had the pleasure of working with Danyelle for my sister’s wedding in October. This was the most smooth and stress free process that I have ever witnessed. Danyelle paid attention to every detail. She made sure that the bride’s wishes were granted. Her love for what she does really shines through! She gave us the absolute best experience. As the Matron of Honor, I appreciate her for everything she did. She really went over and beyond the call of duty.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you very much!
My wedding day was everything I wanted and more. Mrs. Dash did such a great job for my wedding it was better than imagined. I didn’t really know what I wanted and I was kind of all over the place with my ideas, but Mrs. Dash was there to help me every step of the way. If you are looking for stress free planning Mrs. Dash is the planner for you.

Awww. You were such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for choosing me!
I want to start off by saying my loved my wedding. Danyelle was there for me the whole step of the way. She was great. Not only did she make everything happen for me but she also comforted me when I needed her.(bride moments) my husband and I used her for our engagement party, wedding, gender reveal and 2 baby showers. Loved each and everything about each individual celebration. She will get what you want and be by your side every step of the way. I could always count on her. We met by faith and she’s been there ever since. And we will definitely be using her for our daughter’s 1st birthday.
