"Dana is the most organized + professional + caring wedding planner you will find. She made sure that every detail of our big day was done & done well. She took care of all the last minute things & didn’t hesitate to help or come to my rescue at any time during the day. She took the time to learn my vision & then made it come to life even better than I had planned. She made our day perfect && we cannot thank her enough! Forever will recommend this fabulous lady!!" - Dani
"Easily the best bang-for-your-buck money we spent on the wedding (and to be honest, we almost didn't get a day of coordinator). Trust me, spend less on decorations and hire Dana instead. She's extremely detail oriented, but she's also very personable, so she'll be fun for you, your spouse, and your friends/family to interact with!" - Isabella
"Dana made our day run SO smoothly! Even when our car didn't initially start, she would have let us drive hers for our grand exit! We highly recommend this lovely lady ❤" - Hallie

Absolutely fabulous!!
My daughter was married 10/14/2023. Our venue required a wedding coordinator for the day of the wedding. Day of with Dana was recommended by our florist and the venue itself.
Dana was hired a couple of months prior to the wedding. We expected her to only help the day of the wedding. We were pleasantly surprised to learn she was immediately available to help coordinate and take over planning the wedding.
I can’t say enough good things about Dana, her services were invaluable toward making my daughter’s wedding perfect.
As with any wedding there was tension, stress, family drama and a few things that weren’t quite what my daughter wanted. Dana took care of everything flawlessly. For example, she relaxed the photographers which relaxed my daughter, she ran interference between vendors to ensure my daughter’s visions were carried through and between family members to reduce drama and ensure my daughter and son-n-law weren’t caught in the middle of it.
Dana kept everything on track. Her and her assistant Abagail set up the reception area and made it look amazing while coordinating everything else.
Highly recommend Day of with Dana.
"Day of With Dana" does not begin to describe the service Dana provides...should be "More than a Day". Her professionalism and willingness assure you she is working to achieve every detail. I had a wonderful experience with Dana!
Dana was THE reassurance that my daughter and I needed to confirm and assist with our planning efforts. Dana was so professional and encouraging from our first meeting!! She always brought fresh ideas to the table and wasn't afraid to try new things. She literally handled details that we had no idea she was having to handle. Dana was the glue that held everything together for the wedding. She made my daughter feel like she was the most important bride ever! If you want an intricately planned wedding day, you need Dana!!
Hiring Dana was the best thing we could have done for our wedding. If it wasn't for her we probably would have eloped! We truly could not have done it without her. She is knowledgeable, organized, and goes above and beyond for her clients. I could rest easy knowing that Dana would execute our plan, foresee any potential issues, and handle anything that came up last minute. She is especially helpful if you have a large family or a large wedding party, as she coordinates and communicates with friends and family so that the bride does not have to be the point of contact throughout the weekend. Most importantly, having Dana on our team meant that we could ENJOY ourselves, relax, and spend quality time with our guests knowing that she was taking care of the details, big and small. Being able to put my phone away on my wedding weekend was such a gift, so that I could be present in the moment. That was worth more than gold! Family dynamics, vendors, schedules, logistics--she is attentive to everything. I can't recommend her enough!
Dana was incredible! Our special day would not have been the same without her. I truly don't think we could have done it without her. There where so many things we didn't even think about for our small wedding/ceremony, and it would have been complete chaos without her expertise. Cannot recommend Dana enough.
Working with Dana was truly a pleasure, we would not have been able to pull our wedding day off without her! She's super organized and intuitive, bringing up things we would have never considered we needed or being a potential issue. Cannot recommend Dana enough, she's absolutely amazing!
FIVE STARS and so much more! I met Dana when I was a bridesmaid in a dear friend's wedding. She was the day-of coordinator, and I was so impressed by her professionalism and magician-like abilities to keep things moving seamlessly no matter what was happening. What a gem!
When I got engaged, she was one of the first people I reached out to because after seeing her in action, I felt confident her expertise and experience would help make our day amazing—and, wow, did she deliver.
My husband and I whole-heartedly agree that hiring Dana from Day of With Dana, LLC was the absolute best investment we made in our big day. She are her team were helpful, professional, intuitive, and altogether fantastic! I don't know how she does it, but she covered a vast array of areas—including rowdy (and lovable) groomsmen, unexpected challenges, and a whole lot of people and things—in ways that alleviated stress and pressure so we could really enjoy the day of our wedding. Efficiency and excellence all around! I'm so glad my path crossed with hers, and I can say with confidence that my wedding day was altogether better because she was a part of it.
There aren't enough characters available for me to convey how much value Dana provided to our wedding. I felt so overwhelmed throughout planning, but planning sessions with Dana always helped me feel organized and empowered. She was fantastic about giving us short and long-term tasks as well as vendor recommendations. She was always kind, professional, and thorough. Dana was so helpful with wrangling vendors and was a tremendous advocate for me when I had difficulties in speaking up for myself in getting what I wanted. We had a ton of last minute difficulties from vendor cancellations to undelivered invitations and Dana was a lifesaver in every situation.
Wedding weekend, it is hard to imagine how our wedding would have been nearly as perfect without the caring hearts, ingenuity, and tireless efforts of Dana, Michelle, Cat, and Ginger. By the time I realized something needed to be done, Dana had already done it. It was like having a stage manager and crew for the entire event. The little touches from having a perfectly set meal with champagne before the first dances to having our bags perfectly packed with leftovers and our wedding playlist on in the getaway car were totally exquisite. The day after our wedding, one of our first takeaways of the day was that Dana could charge 5x her rate and it would be appropriate for the work done (Which you know is a wild thought if you just got done paying for a wedding.) But having more peace of mind on the best day of our lives is truly priceless. I would recommend Day of with Dana to any couple that wants to keep a shred of sanity through the wedding planning process.
We hired Dana to coordinate the day of our wedding and she was amazing! Everything went smoothly and the day went perfect! She kept everything on schedule and was able to help bring my vision for the day to light,
and I did not have to worry about anything! I highly recommend her!
If there was one vendor that was VITAL to our wedding day it was definitely Dana. I was hesitant at first about hiring a coordinator as I thought we were doing things "small" and all of my up front planning would mean there would be nothing to deal with the day of or the week of, and I am so so glad I changed my mind. Dana's expertise and her ability to keep things running smoothly was amazing. She was so helpful in our meetings leading up to the wedding and helped make our vision come true. In conversations since our wedding day everyone always asks what was the thing that went wrong on your day since something always goes wrong and my answer is always nothing, Dana took care of everything! We were both so relaxed and stress-free on our day because we knew that Dana had it under control. Her ability to coordinate with our photographer and all the other vendors was amazing and I am so thankful for how Dana took care of us throughout our entire reception and everyone else in our family.
Dana is AWESOME! Having Dana as your wedding planner will be the best money you spend on your special day. Dana planned a detail agenda for the wedding for all to follow. She contact every vendor and verified all times and delivers before and during the wedding. We especially like the way the Dana interacted with the bridal party and guests. She was professional, while keeping every one on task and lots of fun to have around as well. She kept the activity flowing all evening and made sure every detail was addressed. I was able to enjoy the whole evening because of Dana!
Dana helped make our wedding go off without a hitch. She was clear and direct with our wedding party and us. Any hiccups she took care of without me even knowing and she made sure to make the whole day about us and for us. She even packed a to go food and drink bag for us when we left and handled everything we asked or threw at her no problem at all. So so happy we went with Dana as our wedding coordinator!
Dana was the best investment of our entire wedding. From planning calls all the way through the day of, she was on top of everything. The wedding rehearsal and wedding day would have been so stressful for my husband and I if she hadn’t been there to keep things on track. We had several friends and family approach us to say how impressed they were with her throughout the day. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate all of her hard work and dedication to making our day the best it could be. Thank you so much Dana!
I cannot say enough good things about Dana! Absolutely incredible from the moment I met her and spoke on the phone for our first consultation & even after our wedding day. Dana is someone you truly want to have on your wedding team if you want someone to advocate for you and ensure every single step of your wedding day is perfect. From advocating for what we wanted on our wedding day -- to pinning up my wedding dress at the last moment when I was worried I might trip walking down the aisle, Dana was there for us every step of the way. I would recommend Dana to all of my family/friends/anyone needing a planner/day-of coordinator.. Hands down the best decision was hiring Dana for our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!
Dana is literally the BEST!!! There is absolutely no way I could have gotten through my wedding day without her. I live in San Diego and was planning my entire wedding from 2100 miles away. She was on top of everything from getting the wedding day schedule put together, contacting all of my vendors, keeping us all on track the day of, putting together the reception layout, attending my final fitting so she could learn to bustle my dress, and so much more!! My dress ripped at one point before the wedding started and Dana was right there with double sided tape and a needle and thread to fix it. She had back up supplies for anything I needed for centerpieces, decorations, etc. I want to recommend her to literally every single bride who doesn't need a full planner, but needs someone on the day of her wedding to make sure it goes smoothly. I was able to actually enjoy my day and have fun with my friends because I knew Dana had taken care of everything!!
Hiring Dana as our day of wedding coordinator was easily our best decision made. Not only is she organized, reliable, responsive, and a true professional, she is also calm and a true pleasure to both work with and have as a part of the wedding day. Her experience helped us navigate additional decisions we had to make and we couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks to Dana, our wedding day went smoothly and beautifully and she made me one happy bride!
Dana is an absolute DREAM to work with! From my initial email to following up after the wedding, she has been nothing shy of warm, responsive and thorough! Dana has a bright, bubbly and inviting personality and puts you at ease immediately. She's exceptionally precise in timeline planning, while being flexible in regard to real life events. She managed to calm all of my pre-wedding panic and helped the Big Day go off without so much as a hiccup! Her follow up post-wedding has been wonderful and I have absolutely loved every step of working with this lovely woman. Her assistant for the day, Devin, was just as sweet, kind, and thorough, and we enjoyed having her with us as well!
Easily the best bang-for-your-buck money we spent on the wedding (and to be honest, we almost didn't get a day of coordinator because we weren't sure it'd be worth the money). I was so relaxed and stress-free on my wedding day I TOOK A NAP. Trust me, spend less on decorations and hire Dana instead. She's extremely detail oriented, but she's also very personable and is just a ton of fun to plan and work with.
