Our wedding was absolutely perfect on every level due to Danielle and her amazing team. If you search Connecticut Wedding Planner you will be sure to find her!! Also @ofeleganceeve...
nts on IG works as well. We had the top tier package which is called the Full Service Planning + Design and we did not have to worry about a thing. She came highly recommended from our venue The Country Club of Darien which could not have been a more elegant and beautiful atmosphere to have a wedding. From the beginning Danielle walked us through the entire planning process putting us completely at ease. Her resources are endless as she connected us with almost all our vendors, which were a direct reflection of her professionalism and grace.
Just to name a few I had my flowers by flowersbyJustine@gmail.com, photography by Natasha@tashography.com, Pastor by Weddingpastorjz.com(Dave), Makeup by Lana@lamphier.us, Invitations by Alison@kindlydelivered.com and DJ by Totaldjny.com.
I cannot say enough about Danielle. My wedding day was something I will never forget filled with endless memories of love, laughter and beauty with Danielle at the helm. Thank you so very much Danielle for everything. Words cannot express enough how appreciate Darrick and I were to have you as part of our big day.

Of Elegance Weddings & Events did such a wonderful, thorough job planning our wedding at Smith Farm Gardens in CT! We booked with them a little less than 2 years out from our weddi...
ng date and are SO thankful that we did. Danielle was truly meant to be a wedding planner and we're lucky to have had her throughout this process!
Danielle is so calm, kind and professional and she really understood our vision without us having to over explain and thought of the tiniest details we would've never thought of! She was very communicative and responsive as well and made us feel like she was always there for us. The vendors Danielle helped select for us were exceptional and went above and beyond.
We felt like we could actually enjoy our special day without having to worry or stress about the timeline or anything else! We highly recommend booking Of Elegance for your wedding :)
We got married at Smith Farm Gardens this past August with Danielle as our planner. From the very first conversation, I knew Danielle was the one I wanted by our side for our weddi...
ng. She was my very first call, and after speaking with her, I immediately cancelled the rest of the calls I had lined up. Danielle is not only incredibly organized and detail-oriented, but she approaches everything with such kindness, patience, and genuine warmth.
She remembered things I would have forgotten, thought ahead in ways I never could have, and made sure every detail was taken care of so that when the day came, I could simply be present. As someone who usually has a hard time letting go of control, I felt complete trust in her which is a gift I most definitely have appreciated and will never forget.
Danielle was always available, always reassuring, and always went above and beyond with such grace. She really learned who I was as a person, got my vibe (: and understood my vision perfectly. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we owe so much of that to her. I feel endlessly grateful that we had her guidance, care, and heart throughout this process. If you are lucky enough to have Danielle as your planner, you will be in the very best hands.
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 coordinat...
or 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, ca...
me 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!
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Danielle from Of Elegance. From the very beginning, she brought a sense of calm, organization, and creativity that made the entire we...
dding planning process feel effortless. She planned a gorgeous bridal shower that exceeded every expectation, and that was just the beginning of everything she did for us.
Danielle connected me with an incredible group of vendors — all professional, talented, and perfectly aligned with our vision. She took care of all the behind-the-scenes work so I could be fully present and actually enjoy my wedding without the stress. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and her coordination ensured that the day ran smoothly from start to finish.
Her insight and support with design were invaluable. Danielle has a true eye for style and detail — she helped shape a wedding day that felt so personal and beautiful.
Thanks to Danielle and Of Elegance, our wedding day was more than I ever dreamed. Calm, joyful, and beautifully executed — I will be forever grateful for her guidance and care. If you’re considering working with her, don’t hesitate — she is a true gem.
Danielle is incredible and we couldn't recommend her more highly! From our very first phone call, her warmth and expertise empowered us to create a wedding that felt true to our vi...
sion and our personalities. Danielle's impeccable organization made planning manageable, and every single vendor she recommended was exceptional. Most of all, she exudes a calm presence that reassured us on one of the craziest days of our lives, and she leapt into action to adjust for changing weather to make sure that our dreams of a perfect night came true. They certainly did, and we couldn't have done it without Danielle and the Of Elegance team!
Danielle is worth her weight in gold. Because of Of Elegance, we were able to feel like guests of honor at our own wedding rather than dealing with all of the burdens of being a ho...
st. I (the bride) was able to have a few glasses of champagne and enjoy my own wedding, because I trusted that Danielle would tap me when it was time for the next event of the schedule and let me know if anything in the timeline had changed.
On the planning side, she was amazing. We had a shorter engagement, and lots of the timelines were ~less than ideal~, (late RSVP's, last minute changes to the tables, ect) however she never made me feel guilty for not being the "perfect, put together bride" and and just worked with us where we were at. When I look back at my wedding, I will always remember how I had a truly amazing time and did not have a single concern about the execution of the day that I had spend months planning.
If you are hesitating about whether it is an essential cost in a budget, I can assure you that it is. As the bride and groom, this may be the only thing you can do which will guarantee you will be fully in present and enjoy the day. We cannot begin to thank Danielle and her team enough!
Do not go anywhere else for a wedding planner. Everything was perfect. Danielle nailed every detail, has vision, helped pick amazing vendors and everything was honestly just flawle...

Unless you love to plan and organize events, then do yourself a favor and hire a wedding planner or even just a day-of-coordinator! In other words, hire Danielle! My now husband an...
d I had an intimate wedding of less than 50 guests. But I never knew that even with a small wedding, there were so many other things to think about. With my new job and the stress that comes with it, I knew I needed to hire someone who was knowledgable in this field and so comes in Danielle. I hired Danielle as our day-of-coordinator as I had already hired our vendors. Let me tell you, Danielle was such an integral part of our wedding. If we didn't hire her, I'm pretty sure our wedding wouldn't have gone as smooth and seamless as it did. When we had our meetings with our vendors, Danielle asked all the right questions, questions that I never would've thought of that were so important. And she created our timeline, which again, I never would've thought of creating or even know how to create one! Her deadlines were helpful, as it made me aware to take care of tasks in a timely manner instead of doing them last minute which I'm known to do! On the day of the wedding, Danielle took full reigns and we didn't have to worry about a thing but to just focus on getting ready and enjoy our special day. She made sure our table setting was perfected, our wedding cake was how we envisioned it, and every other detail such as our wedding guest book, our wedding signs, our personalized cocktail napkins and everything else were set up while also making sure we were following our schedule in a timely manner. I could go on and on about our wonderful experience with Danielle! If you're looking for a planner with professionalism, experience, expertise and just an overall pleasure to work with, then we highly recommend Danielle!
Best piece of wedding advice from someone who thought they could do it all: HIRE A PLANNER! Danielle was nothing short of my savior when I felt like I had hit the wall just a coupl...
e months out from our wedding. I wish we had hired her at the start of everything, but we were so thankful for all of her help and support at our final stages to execute all the last minute details leading up to and on our wedding day!
From finalizing timelines, venue walk throughs, last minute catering switches, and all the little final touches, Danielle and her team made sure our day was FLAWLESS. I was absolutely blown away walking into our reception space and seeing how beautifully everything had been set up! Our timeline was executed perfectly, our guests had an incredible time, and most importantly, Ryan & I didn't have to stress about a single thing wedding planning related on the big day and got to enjoy every second with our friends and family.
Danielle's attention to detail, organization, industry knowledge & contacts, and of course her love for all of her clients to have the best day possible is why I will sing her praises for years to come! If you are on the fence about hiring a planner or day of coordinator, please believe me when I tell you it is the best decision you will make.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything, Danielle!

If you’re looking for a planner you can lean on and feel like a friend, she is your girl!!
