Of Elegance, Weddings & Events

We got married on July 4th at The Village in Stamford, and hiring Danielle as our day-of coordinator was one of the very best decisions we made. After our initial wedding coordinator left us feeling unsure and stressed, we met with Danielle and were immediately impressed with her professionalism, confidence, and warmth. She instantly put us at ease, and we knew we were in good hands and hired her immediately. The Village is a unique space with multiple levels and rooms, and Danielle knew every detail of it inside and out. She had worked there many times before and had strong relationships with the venue team and vendors, which was invaluable. Even though we technically hired her for “day-of coordination,” her work began months in advance. She set up calls with all of our vendors, collected contracts, scheduled walkthroughs, and reminded us of every detail we needed to stay on top of. Her online planning system was so organized and included our rehearsal dinner and wedding timeline down to the minute, as well as digital floor plans that allowed us to map out everything with our florist, DJ, and other vendors. On the wedding day, Danielle and her assistant were absolutely incredible. Because our celebration spanned multiple spaces across two floors, with a ceremony, cocktail hour, and a non-traditional cocktail-style reception, there was a lot to manage. Danielle kept everything running seamlessly, making sure the event flowed perfectly without ever feeling rushed. Her calm, steady presence was such a gift; she handled everything with grace and professionalism, so we could truly enjoy our day stress-free. While Danielle was a bit pricier than other coordinators we considered, she was worth every penny. The level of detail, expertise, and peace of mind she provided was unmatched. We cannot recommend her enough. If you want a coordinator who is organized, proactive, and a true professional, Danielle is the one.

How do you choose the person who will help you plan one of the most meaningful days of your life? It’s a daunting decision. For us, Danielle from Of Elegance, Weddings & Events, came highly recommended by our venue, The Waveny House in New Canaan, Connecticut. After a bit of Instagram sleuthing and online due diligence, we reached out for an intro call, and we’re so glad we did. They say first impressions matter, and Danielle’s could not have been better. From that very first call, she exuded warmth, professionalism, and genuine care — qualities she carried through every interaction that followed. She made it easy to trust her and commit. Throughout our planning journey, she kept us informed, comfortable, and confident at every stage, whether it was walking us through the venue, sitting in on meetings with our caterer, photographer, florist, and DJ, or guiding us through important decisions about layouts, timelines, and contingency plans. Danielle has a way of making you feel heard, while you know she’s quietly weighing dozens of options in the background to arrive at the one that will work best for you. Her organization, creativity, and steady presence gave us peace of mind from day one, and that peace of mind was invaluable. Our wedding day was more beautiful, joyful, and fun than we could have ever imagined, thanks in large part to her. She handled every element with care, including an unexpected weather pivot and a brief shuttle delay, all with calm confidence. At one point, when we lingered a bit too long outside with our photographer, Danielle actually came to find us and guided us back onto the dance floor so we wouldn’t miss the peak of the party with our guests — a moment we’re so grateful for, because the energy and joy in that room were absolutely electric. What could have been stressful ended up feeling smooth and effortless because we trusted her completely. Her experience and deep connections with the best wedding professionals across New York and Connecticut truly shone through. Our guests have not stopped telling us how beautiful everything was and how wonderful the day felt, and we couldn’t agree more. Danielle, we are deeply grateful for the vision, guidance, and steady hand you brought to the entire journey. You helped make our wedding day not just seamless, but truly unforgettable.

Hiring Danielle as our wedding day-of planner and coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. From our very first conversation, she brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and genuine care that immediately lifted a weight off our shoulders. Danielle’s attention to detail is second to none — absolutely nothing slipped through the cracks. She thought of things I never would have, and her organization and thorough planning made sure everything came together seamlessly. I truly couldn’t have pulled it off without her. On the wedding day, she and Julia handled a few unexpected hiccups with such grace and professionalism that we didn’t even know anything had gone wrong until afterward. They managed everything behind the scenes with a quiet confidence that allowed us to relax and be fully present in every moment. We are endlessly grateful to Of Elegance for their dedication, thoughtfulness, and steady support. Thanks to Danielle, our day was not only beautiful — it was completely stress-free. I would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend her and the entire Of Elegance team to anyone looking for a planner who truly goes above and beyond for their clients!
