Dana is the calming presence that I needed with wedding planning. Her attention to detail, ability to take charge and problem solve, as well as make everyone feel at ease is a true gift! Her heart for hospitality and passion to serve is so evident, combined with her experience and skills makes her the perfect wedding planner and event manager!

I booked Dana as my partial planner for my wedding on 10-25-20 shortly after meeting her for our tour at Ravenswood Mansion. I immediately felt like she was someone I could trust and valued her experience. I had a lot of questions and needed a lot of guidance, and Dana was awesome at guiding me through the 10 months of planning. She was always available for questions and kept me on task. She handled all of my vendor contracts and communication leading up to the wedding so I could focus on what I needed and that was a God send!! She's amazing with handling all of your vendors, even my videographer stated that our wedding was the smoothest he had worked all year! The day of was so seamless all thanks to her organization. 10/10 would recommend Dana and trust her to make your wedding day amazing.

“When my husband and I decided to plan a wedding in Tennessee from our home in Costa Rica it felt very overwhelming. As soon as I was in contact with Dana my mind was put instantly at ease. Dana knew who to talk to, where to go, and what boxes needed to be checked to plan our wedding. Our wedding day, I had no care in the world because I knew she had everything in control.  If I could marry my husband again, I wouldn’t do it without Dana’s help!”
