As a wedding photographer, I don't often write reviews for other vendors, but if I do, it's because I believe that the vendor experience gives a novel perspective on what it feels like to work with a planner closely. And when it comes to Danielle of Amethyst Events, I absolutely had to share my thoughts.

I had the pleasure of working with Danielle for the first time in the summer of 2023, and it happened to be one of the most unique weddings of my entire career. Our couple, L&C, wanted to celebrate their love in a way that was true to their adventurous nature, and Danielle made it all possible. From getting married on standup paddleboards in South Lake Union to having a larger reception at Sole Repair, Danielle not only encouraged L&C to stay true to themselves but also had the magic and means to execute their vision flawlessly.

What I loved most about working with Danielle was her unwavering commitment to making our couple’s vision real and just as vibrant as they imagined. She never tried to fit their wedding into a predetermined box; instead, she listened to their needs and transformed them into reality (with a little touch of her sparkledust). There was never a ‘checklist’ of things that they had to do at their wedding: she truly attended to how they wanted to spend their wedding day.

Her organization and communication leading up to the day were impeccable, and she lent a unique perspective on tiny logistical things I would have never known to pay attention to!

On the day of the wedding, Danielle was there from start to finish, orchestrating every moment with her inherent warmth, grace, and precision. She went above and beyond, putting up signs around the park so L&C's family knew where to go, setting up chairs, and even finding a mic situation that worked on the water. Her hard work culminated in one of the most ethereal experiences for every guest and passerby alike. It felt like a dream to watch L&C emerge from the distance on the water, with the city skyscrapers behind them.

But Danielle's dedication didn't stop there. She joined us for the bride and groom portraits, after L&C changed out of their 'ceremony on the water' attire and into their 'getting married' outfits. I've never had a planner look out for the little details during portrait hour, but Danielle was their biggest cheerleader (and mine)!

The reception at Sole Repair felt seamless from start to finish, thanks to Danielle's leadership skills and encouragement; the venue was thoughtfully decorated in what felt like a blink of an eye.

Working with Danielle was an absolute joy, and it was inspiring to see her shine in her element. She truly embodies what it means to be an exceptional wedding planner, and her love for her work ensures that every client receives the same level of dedication.

Danielle was incredible to work with from Day 1. Her month of coordination is above and beyond expectation and feels more like total event preparation. She helped us stay on track, recommended the best vendors to work with, and made our day of timeline seamless. I highly recommend Danielle to make any couple's special day come to life. Truly an amazing experience.

Deciding to book planning with Danielle was the best decision - it took so much stress off our shoulders to know that everything was handled so efficiently. My wife and I were able to just follow along with her plan on the day of the wedding, without worrying about timing and vendor coordination.

She managed to coordinate SO many things into the space - a DJ, audio phone book, photo booth, neon signage, candles, and more. Many of these things had to move from point A to point B at different times in the wedding, and I didn't have a single worry that it wouldn't happen.

Danielle was reliable, communicative, professional, and a delight to work with.
