I can not put into words just how grateful we are for Danielle and EVERYTHING she did for the wedding of Belissa and Erik, but I shall try.

Planning a destination wedding is a mammoth task in and of itself but with Danielle, every single detail was addressed and many that we didn’t even think of. Her attention to detail, temperament and to truly listen and capture her clients wishes is beyond expectation. Danielle always assured us and kept us on track with all the details that goes into planning the wedding of your dreams; and that is exactly what we got.

Danielle always kept in touch with emails, texts messages, zoom meetings, in- person meetings; answered all our questions, no matter how small or big our questions were. When being stuck on a decision, Danielle always suggested options and her favorite phrase was “ whatever you guys want, we can work with it”. All the vendors she suggested and contracted was truly an extension of Danielle’s professionalism and perfection in what they do.

As the mother of the bride, all I wanted was for Belissa and Erik to have a beautiful beginning to their forever…. And boy did they get that.

My husband and I are forever grateful for Danielle and will truly treasure October 29,2023 as THE perfect day, and it truly can not have been executed without Danielle!!!! We love you!!
— Chicky, MOB

We cannot thank Danielle enough for all the hard work she put into planning our wedding. Everything turned out like a dream come true because of Danielle. We never had to stress about anything, whether it be in the planning stages or our actual wedding, Danielle had it all covered and we were truly able to enjoy our day. Neither one of us had any idea of what a wedding entailed, and Danielle walked us through it all. Never once did we feel confused or stressed throughout this process. Danielle had our backs and made sure that our wedding was truly about us and our love story. We both have very busy work schedules and Danielle always worked around us and lent a supportive hand when we needed it. I cannot imagine what we would have done without her. She truly is the best, and we cannot thank her enough. Danielle made the wedding of our dreams come true, and we truly could not have done it without her.
— Belissa, Bride

Our decision to work with Danielle for our October 2023 wedding was honestly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Not only is she knowledgeable and beyond competent in the industry - she is also patient, understanding, and has INCREDIBLE taste! We first met Danielle about 2 years before our wedding date and the years, and really months, leading up to our wedding were stress-free, fun, and collaborative. The actual wedding day was an absolute dream and it truly exceeded both of our expectations. The hard work and dedication by Danielle, as well as her amazing team, was evident in the details of our day and certainly did not go unnoticed by our wedding guests. My husband and I were at ease knowing that Danielle and her team were there with us at every step during the day and it helped us focus on being present and enjoying every moment. We had an amazing experience working with Danielle and her team, and I will recommend them to anyone who is in need of a fantastic wedding planner!
— Erica, Bride

I wish I could give Danielle 100 stars. My wedding absolutely would not have been the success it was without having her on our team. She is creative, insightful, responsive, professional and hyper organized. For us, Danielle was the key to bringing all of our wedding ideas not just to life but together into a cohesive and beautiful event that was unique to us. Throughout the planning process she kept us on track for decisions, connected us with great vendors, and helped us navigate any tough conversations that came up. Day of the wedding, Danielle and her team were invaluable and made the day run so smoothly, even with a major setup change due to weather. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy and immerse ourselves in the day because Danielle and her team handled every detail around us so it was seamless for us and our guests. I would 100% recommend DCE.
— Jackie, Bride

Danielle was incredibly valuable in our wedding experience! As a partial planner, she helped bring my wedding decor vision to life. My mom and I really struggled with our venue decor, but Danielle was able to change the clashing ideas into a beautiful wedding day that blended so many ideas together seamlessly. Because of Danielle, I had no stress the month leading up to my wedding. And then during the wedding day, her whole team was so helpful is making sure the day ran smoothly and on time. I could genuinely enjoy my wedding day. I would recommend Danielle and her team to anyone planning a wedding!
— Tess, Bride

We wanted to send you a massive thank you for making our wedding weekend absolutely incredible! It was beyond anything we could have imagined.

Your attention to detail and your ability to keep everything running seamlessly left us and our guests in awe. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment because we knew you had everything under control.

The way you transformed our vision into reality was so impressive. The venue looked stunning, and the entire weekend was seamless (and if it wasn’t then we didn’t know). Your recommendations for vendors were spot on, and the coordination with everyone involved was perfect.

Our friends and family can’t stop talking about the wedding, and we have you to thank for that. Once again, thank you so much!
— Katherine & Jimmy

Danielle and her team were fabulous! We highly recommend working with her for your Wedding! We started working with Danielle a few months before our Wedding and we only wish we had found her sooner. She is extremely professional, accessible and enthusiastic! Danielle was great at helping with both the decor side of the planning and on the logistics. Having Danielle and her team with us on the day-of the Wedding was a huge stress relief - and they are a ball to work with! Book her while you still can!
— Nicole & Doug

Danielle was my planner for about a year and a half and she was always very prompt answering and never made me feel like I was never asking a silly question. She was very kind and professional. On my wedding day everyone kept saying I was very relaxed and that was because of her. I would highly recommend her and her team!
— Heather & TJ

Danielle shepherded us through the often-stressful process of planning our wedding with enormous skill and compassion. From the start, she was proactive in learning about who we are as a couple and the kind of event we hoped to create, and her suggestions and thoughts throughout the process were always informed by the understanding of us that she cultivated. When our original venue fell through, she facilitated a seamless transition to a new and wonderful venue. She connected us with amazing vendors who helped us create a gorgeous day. She helped us navigate the expectations of our families, while continuing to prioritize our own vision for the day. And on the day of our wedding, Danielle and her team were on top of everything, making it possible for us to enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. We could not recommend her more highly.
— Elizabeth & Matthew

Danielle is amazing! She was always so on the ball and kept us on track with all of the planning. On the day of our wedding, we were able to relax knowing she and her team would take care of everything seamlessly. We loved all her vendors. Each person she brought to work with us was kind, caring and professional-amazing food, flowers, photography, music, etc. She is meticulous and creative, and worked so hard to keep everything as stress free as possible. We had the most beautiful day and can’t thank her enough.
— Janelle & Charlie

We really enjoyed working with Danielle as our planner. She has a great eye for detail and her awesome organizational skills made the whole planning process so much easier. She has a great vendor list and made everything work seamlessly with them. Day of the wedding her and her team were perfect and took care of everything so we could just enjoy they day!
— Lauren & Matthew

I know that we all said thank you yesterday, but I want to make sure you know just how impressed—wowed, I should say—we were with everything you did. And that’s just the “everything” we knew about. I suspect that the invisible-to-us stuff—the interactions with vendors, the negotiations, follow-ups, diplomacy—are a huge part of what make you so brilliant at what you do.

What you pulled together yesterday was memorable and beautiful and reflected the two people whose wishes you rightly put above all other considerations. And as reassuring as you were along the way, it can’t always have been easy to wrangle decisions and time from bride and groom—who will never again think that anything involving so many moving parts can be done without some serious, and seriously gifted, help.

So though I can’t imagine you will ever lack for clients, I will be singing your praises to any and everyone who is hoping for a wedding overseen with clarity, experience, calm, and grace—all of which you showed from our first Zoom call to our parting embrace.

With all the best wishes and much gratitude—
— Lisa Grunwald, Mother of the Bride

I was looking for a “day of” wedding planner and Danielle exceeded my expectations! She joined us about 3 months before the wedding and just hit the ground running. She went above and beyond and was the absolute best. My nephew spilled red wine on my second dress and her team got it out!! Miracle workers.
— Haley & Timothy

Very professional and helpful. She will help you with all of your meetings and preparations helping you stay organized and calm! The best was the day of where her team were ROCKSTARS they made sure I had zero stress and a perfect day. Any concerns that I had they took care of in an instant and if anything went wrong that day I have no idea- so thank you thank you thank you! She was wonderful
— Dana & Billy

We can’t recommend Danielle Caldwell Events enough! From the first consultation (where we didn’t even know where we would have the wedding) through the days after the ceremony (returning rentals, finding missing silverware and puppy cake toppers), Danielle was there for us every step of the way. Her incredible knowledge of the industry, great network of vendors, impeccable organization, and thoughtfulness helped us get through a stressful planning process in a short six month window. Danielle helped us navigate the daunting process of creating an outdoor, tented wedding at the groom’s family home. She helped us create beautiful designs, delicious menus and personalized details, all while staying as close to budget as possible. The day of the wedding was seamless and we got to enjoy every minute of our wedding day thanks to Danielle’s ability to execute flawlessly. Even minor hiccups were taken care of because of Danielle’s emergency kit (red stains on my white wedding dress removed without a trace before first look; dress hemmed two inches with safety pins mid reception because my dress stretched .. just to name a few! Danielle is kind, patient, is able to navigate challenging family dynamics and personalities, and genuinely wants to create the perfect day for her clients. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, and we are so grateful!
— Lauren & Corey

Danielle is an absolute rockstar and was a true pleasure to work with while our family planned our perfect weekend. Danielle was extremely personable and approachable throughout the entire planning process (about 1.5 years), helped take control and drive situations when need from vendors and linens to offering advice and insight on the small customizations that were scattered throughout our day. She helped me coordinate a lovely surprise for my wife during the reception, had a fantastic team by her side day of, and made us and our family feel like we were in great hands.
— Joshua & Lindsey

If you are looking for a powerhouse advocate who is focused, communicative, creative, and has a high level of expertise, I could not recommend Danielle more highly. Our wedding was in Portland in July, and as daunting as planning a wedding would have been in ordinary circumstances, everything was made more intense by planning it during the pandemic. The state restrictions on guest count and logistical requirements changed literally every week, but Danielle took it in stride and was proactive about keeping tabs on how everything was effecting our event and what we could do to adjust. Besides that, I truly appreciated how I could ask her a question or raise a potential hurdle, and she would come up with three solutions on the spot and say it’s whatever feels best to me. Having her there on the wedding day as the day-of coordinator made everything so special, as well. We had a bunch of table decor that wasn’t labeled or organized the best, and she totally pulled out all the stops and created the most dreamy reception scape of my dreams out of the chaos. Not to mention how she calmed my nerves and helped me to focus on the really important part of the day, the fact that I was about to walk forward into a new life with my husband. There are so many more anecdotes I could tell to illustrate what an incredible asset and person she was to have on our team, but I’ll summarize it by saying Danielle will forever have my gratitude, and we were so incredibly lucky to have her.
— Holly M.

Hiring Danielle as my day of coordinator was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. From the first meeting we had, I knew Danielle would be attentive and responsive, which she proved to be. She truly took the stress out of the time leading up to our wedding by working with all of my vendors to put together a thorough timeline of the day and doing as many meetings and walk throughs at the venue as needed before the big day. On the day of the wedding everything ran smoother than I even anticipated! We were always ahead of schedule but never felt rushed and my family and I were able to enjoy the day without worrying about any of the details. Danielle turned even my parents, who were skeptical of me hiring a day of coordinator, into believers! My parents both said after the wedding how happy they were that I hired her and how impressed they were at how well she managed the day and all of the vendors. Danielle was always pleasant and knows how to get things done. I highly highly recommend hiring Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!
— Brittany L.

I hired Danielle in the summer of 2019 for a summer 2020 wedding… you can probably tell where this is going. We postponed 2 times and ultimately had a reception August 2021. Danielle and her team helped me change course multiple times while staying on top of regulation changes and vendor options. Ultimately, Danielle helped plan a fabulous event and it led to a stress free day for me. She has great ideas and I loved brainstorming all the possibilities. Danielle is wonderful at checking in when necessary and being realistic and honest in her suggestions. Would definitely recommend Danielle Caldwell Events!
— Madeline H.

Last weekend we had the wedding of our dreams. That came after a series of nightmares in which we had to delay due to COVID, and had to part ways with our original wedding planner after they tried to charge us thousands extra midstream. We were desperate to save our wedding without being exploited and miraculously we found Danielle! She stepped right in, took over a very complicated situation, handled everything with skill and professionalism, pulled off a perfect weekend, and throughout it all was a source of comfort, kindness, and friendship whenever we were stressed out or in need of emotional support.

We truly cannot speak highly enough of the service she provided, but beyond that, when you hire her you are signing up to work with a delightful person who is really a joy to get to know and spend time working with. I can’t imagine how we could have kept our dream wedding alive without her by our side.
— Kirk and Bryna

It was beyond a pleasure working with Danielle. I can only say positive things about our entire experience working with her. We started planning our wedding on our own and quickly realized we needed help to bring it all together. It was a seamless transition bringing Danielle in and we are so glad we did. The stress was gone and it was nothing but a joyous seven months planning down to every last detail knowing we had Danielle every step of the way. We experienced a fluctuating guest list that settled at 225, had a vendor that closed their doors a few short months out and a bride with an ever expanding vision! Danielle handled it all with grace and never let us experience any panic or concern. She handled every detail, reviewed every note and was so easy to communicate with. Hands down, wouldn’t have had the exceptional day we had without her. Our guests continue to rave to this day about our wedding and all the thanks goes to Danielle. She truly is one of the best things about our day, we are so thankful we got to have her join us in that season of life! She continues to connect with us and congratulates us on all of life’s greatest moments. I know she will have a budding future filled with many moments to celebrate herself and we can’t wait to congratulate her!
— McKenzie K.

Everything about our experience working with Danielle was fantastic. From the very beginning of our partnership she was communicative, detail oriented, and creative. She has so much industry experience and was able to recommend things that were not only elegant but cost-saving. She is incredibly flexible and responsive and you get the sense that she loves what she does. I felt like Danielle and her team were very invested in our wedding and ensuring that we had the perfect experience. On the day of our wedding, Danielle & team managed everything so smoothly that I was able to relax and truly enjoy my wedding day. We had some crazy things happen (a car accident that broke a window at our venue!!!) and Danielle handled it quickly and professionally. I didn’t even know it happened until later! Working with Danielle is hands down the best decision I made as a bride. Having someone on your team who is responsible for the minutiae means you’ll be able to have a stress free event. I could go on and on and on about her skills! She has great taste and creates unique and elegant events.

10000/10 - would recommend!
— Maggie R.

Danielle’s attention to detail, depth of relationships, and knowledge about event production made her the perfect choice for our wedding planning needs. The care and attention she gives her work and her clients is evident in everything she does.

When we needed to postpone our wedding, 10 weeks out, Danielle was fast acting, supportive, and proved she is worth her weight in gold! In less than 48 hours we went from a 4 AM “what if” text to being fully aligned with our vendors on a new date with clear next steps, all thanks to her quick and decisive guidance.

After 2+ years of planning, she and her team executed an incredible, memorable, and special day that we’ll treasure for a lifetime. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her partnership, guidance, and constant support.
— Lauren B.

She Was Excellent Coordinator for Our Indian Wedding!

When we decided that we were getting married, there were a couple needs that we had in order to make sure our big fat Indian wedding went successfully. We quickly realized that we needed someone to help with coordinating the multiple layers of movement on the day of the wedding, as both of us (the bride and groom) would be to occupied to do so ourselves. When we met Danielle, and were enchanted by her excellent interpersonal skills and deep knowledge in the wedding planning and event coordinating field. Although, she had not coordinated an Indian wedding before, we knew that with her enthusiasm to learn about our culture and her ability to easily understand and get on board with what we wanted, she would be the best fit.

Even as day-of coordinator, Danielle was involved in knowing our plans and arrangements from the time that we signed her. She took initiative to get to reach out and get know all the vendors months in advance. She was very confident with all the information she had from us to make sure all the arrangements went smoothly.

On the day of the events, Danielle handled all the little hiccups without us even knowing about them. She is very resourceful and quick on her feet to make sure our arrangements ran smoothly.

We loved working with Danielle and her team. We would highly recommend her to those who need a coordinator or planner for a wedding. We recommend her for Indian weddings as well, but be sure to thoroughly explain your wedding traditions and important details within the ceremonies in order to make sure Danielle learns and knows about them. She soaks up details like a sponge!
— Kunal and Shivani Joshi

Every bride and family needs a Danielle
— Kimberly Becker, Mother of the Bride

Danielle helped myself and my team create 2 beautiful corporate holiday parties for over 1,000 people. Danielle not only has great ideas, but she has an amazing eye for the details and makes sure that there are no loose ends. I really enjoyed working with Danielle in 2018 and she is already helping us on our 2019 holiday parties!
— Andrea Piazza, Maxim Integrated

We originally weren’t planning on hiring a coordinator, but everyone we talked to recommended it and we are so glad that we took their advice! Our stress level was immediately reduced after our first consultation with Danielle and she made our wedding day (and all of the planning) absolutely perfect. Sure, we could have done it on our own, but we would have wasted so much more time, stress and money if we hadn’t have worked with a professional. Working with Danielle was best decision we made and the wedding wouldn’t have been so successful without her. Leading up to the wedding, Danielle was beyond accommodating. She communicated with all of our vendors and set up a venue walk through so that they were all prepared for the day of. She even suggested we ship purchases for the wedding to her house and helped us source last minute details. She went above and beyond to help us execute our vision. On the wedding day, she handled everything –from finding misplaced corsages, coordinating last minute timeline changes, making sure we always had fresh food, and having backups of literally everything so that when MY BEST FRIEND SPILLED RED WINE SPILLED ON MY WEDDING DRESS, she was prepared and had tools on hand to get the wine out. SHE WAS AMAZING. It was truly the perfect day and we can’t thank Danielle enough for all of her work to make our wedding day so special.
— Roshan and Josh Mahoney

We met with Danielle about 4 months prior to our wedding, I had done a lot of the initial planning and was really looking for someone to manage the details during the weeks leading up to the wedding. From the get go we were impressed by Danielle’s professionalism and commitment to making sure that the stress of the wedding was not on our shoulders. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more helpful person to manage the details of our day. Not only was Danielle on top of coordinating with all of our vendors, she went above and beyond in so many ways to be sure that the day went off with out a hitch, or if there were any hitches we had no clue. From sending me reminder emails to make sure I was doing the last little things to ordering umbrellas at the last minute because of the weather forecast, we had the best day. Thank you so much Danielle!!!!
— Megan and Brad Simpson

Danielle is probably the most organized and attentive person I’ve met, which makes her perfect for event planning. When she helped me with my wedding, she had great suggestions and always sent me a few options of reputable vendors to fit my budget and vision. This girl is not afraid to do what needs to get done! Do yourself a favor and let Danielle run the show while you get to relax and enjoy your event, you won’t be disappointed!
— Vanessa Peterson

Danielle has great enthusiasm, ability to make things happen and engaging can-do attitude in planning successful events
