“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, came 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.”
