Danielle is the real deal! At first, my husband and I thought we just needed a day-of coordinator to make sure things go smoothly because we wanted to be hands-on during the planning process. Working with Danielle allowed us to be involved with every step of planning and then we could relax and soak in every moment of our big day.

Ever since our first meeting, Danielle became an instant friend and ready to take on our dream wedding weekend. She took my design pivot from gold to silver accents in stride, and now we share a love of disco balls :) Danielle truly thinks of everything, no detail is too small. I was so at ease on my wedding day, knowing Danielle had everything under control - a huge relief for a major control freak/planner like me!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! xoxo The Trevinos

Danielle is truly one of a kind. She is detail-oriented, passionate about her work, and just an overall wonderful human being. We did not know what to expect when we were looking for a planner, and then we met Danielle. She listened to our vision, helped us with all of our planning decisions and was an all-around superstar on the day of our wedding. She was able to flawlessly plan with us while we were living out of state in Massachusetts and as a lawyer and doctor working sometimes sporadic hours. Our families loved her presence and our guests were wowed by the finished product at our venue. Danielle was always present, kind and thoughtful. She is everything we wanted in a wedding planner and more. We feel honored that she planned our wedding and honored that we got to know her as a person. We couldn’t recommend someone more to a couple who is looking for help in their wedding process. Danielle is simply the best and we are forever grateful to her!

Looking back at our September 2020 wedding, I am so grateful we had the foresight to hire Danielle. We first met with her in early 2019 with my parents, who were admittedly on the fence about hiring a planner for our wedding. At our first meeting, it was clear that Danielle would treat our wedding and the diverse cultures we wanted to celebrate with care and respect. To my mom’s surprise, Danielle was familiar with the Filipino traditions we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony, which was a major plus for us. Danielle is humble, caring, organized, and thoughtful. Her calm confidence put all of us at ease and as soon we left our meeting my mom turned to us and exclaimed, “She is perfect for us!” (it also probably helped that she brought us sugar cookies that she baked with her precious kiddos!)

As a bride who really revelled in the creative direction of our wedding, Danielle was the perfect partner to bounce ideas off of and provide helpful insight for my many, many ideas. I consider my style to be more hip, modern and unique (think of the wedding inspo you’d see in Vogue, The Cut or Domino), and it was very empowering to have Danielle’s perspective and fresh eye for decor. It can be so hard to find someone with her kind of aesthetic and creativity in the Midwest. When I felt strongly about a certain aspect of the day, she provided honest feedback. When I wanted beautiful, vintage furniture, she knew who to call. When I wanted custom stationary within our budget, she paired us with the perfect vendor. Speaking of vendors- we learned very quickly that name-dropping Danielle to prospective vendors went a long way. She has put years into building up a network of the best, kindest, and most talented friends and colleagues in the Milwaukee wedding industry and has a beautiful portfolio of unique weddings to prove it. We never felt pressured into working with anyone she knew, but her recommendations were so obviously great that we often had no choice!

When COVID-19 hit, Danielle went above and beyond in keeping us, our guests and vendors safe. She organized multiple meetings with us and our vendor team to ensure everyone had proper PPE and felt comfortable executing every aspect of our day. Her relationship with the amazing crew at the Ivy House, coupled with her familiarity with the space went a long way, especially as the weather threw off a lot of the logistical plans of our day.

In short, Danielle is the best! It was an honor to have her on our team for our wedding. I wish we could get married again just to plan another amazing day with her.
