    Hiring Dana was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand both my partner's and my taste, and every detail of the day reflected us perfectly. She has an incredible eye for detail, but what stood out most was her ability to truly listen and make sure every choice aligned with our vision. We asked Dana to assist for day-of planning only but she was so accommodating, supportive and reassuring from day 1, even making the time to meet with vendors BEFORE the wedding day! On the wedding day itself, she was everywhere at once--coordinating vendors, keeping the timeline on track, and handling things behind the scenes so seamlessly that we didn't even realize potential hiccups were happening. Everything flowed so smoothly because she was on top of it all. Her assistant, Andrea, was also such a huge help the day of--she was attentive, kind, and made sure all the little details were taken care of without us even having to ask. What I'll always be grateful for, though, is the calm presence she brought. I'm an anxious bride by nature, and she somehow managed to ground me in the middle of all the chaos--her background as a therapist definitely shined through in those moments. She was both a planner and a source of emotional support, which made the day not just beautiful but truly enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, incredibly competent, and will make you feel like you can actually relax on your wedding day, look no further. Dana is a dream to work with!!!

    If you've been looking for a day coordinator, she is the one. She made the entire process incredibly easy even during the most stressful stressful moments. My entire wedding ran smoothly. The best part about Dana is that she took feedback with grace and really had my (Bride's ) back. Which I totally appreciated, especially as someone who struggles to say no. She is not just a coordinator/ wedding planner, she is also very conveniently a therapist, and gurrrrrlll, as a bride you will need one at least once throughout the night. I didn't think I would crack but it gets real emotional up in there. You know who didn't crack down ? Dana and her team, even when I changed my mind about the timeline, outfit change or even music. They adjusted, if there was any pressure they felt, they did not show it. They went with it, adjusted and went on gracefully. Their confidence made me feel confident and every bride should feel that way. Lastly, a personal thank you for protecting and securing our deposit that was our biggest worry with an open bar. Dana went far and beyond like a majestic hawk, impecable eye!! Ladies, reconsider an open bar unless you got Dana on your side. Much love and appreciation, THANK YOU! -Ixchel

    If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who can turn absolute chaos into calm, Dana is the one. Our wedding day was full of curveballs; the groom and groomsmen were late, my mom was late, the pastor was late, decor and food arrived late it felt like everything that could go wrong, did. But thanks to Dana's experience, grace, and leadership, no one had a clue what was happening behind the scenes. From the outside, it looked like a perfectly orchestrated event. Guests only noticed a slight delay, they had no idea the fire Dana was quietly putting out behind the scenes. She kept us on track, made adjustments in real time, and somehow we still maintained the itinerary we had so carefully planned. The reception was absolutely beautiful and so much fun! Dana made sure every detail came together from the photographers and videographers to the violinist, DJ, decorator, and even the ice sculptor. She communicated with every vendor before and during the event so everything felt seamless. Anyone who had a question got an answer. She thought of everything, and then some. Dana was calm, collected, professional, and proactive exactly what you need on a high stress day. I truly cannot imagine what our day would've looked like without her. Because of Dana, we were able to actually enjoy our wedding and create beautiful memories in the midst of chaos. Hire Dana. Trust her. Let her work her magic. She's the best decision we made.

    If I could give Dana 1000 stars, I would. I was a very anxious bride and Dana really made me feel at peace. My venue had a really weird layout, and within the first walk, she thought about a layout that not only had aesthetics in mind but also comfort and usability. I had close to 10 vendors, and she was able to coordinate with all of them not just a day off but a couple days before, ensuring that everything was squared away. When the big day came, she helped sort problems that Inevitably came, and was able to arrange the timeline as changes arose. I always hear people complain that they didn't get to enjoy the party or that they didn't spend enough time with their significant other during their wedding, but that is the farthest from the truth for me. Dana arranged alone time with me and my husband before the grand entrance, and even an incredibly beautiful impromptu private last dance. I met Dana at another wedding we were both working at, and seeing her work there made me want to hire her, safe to say I made the right decision

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Dana as my coordinator for my wedding on June 8th, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we first connected, she demonstrated kindness, professionalism, and commitment to make our special day went perfect. She always made sure to give the best recommendations from creating a timeline to getting vendor recommendations. Dana and Andrea managed every aspect of the event with such grace and efficiency that we were able to relax and fully enjoy the day. During the wedding day she worked well with other vendors and created strategic plans to make sure everyone was comfortable. Her presence was both calming and unobtrusive, which allowed my husband and I to focus on each other and our guests. Thank you so much!! Best Decision Ever!

    My family had an amazing night, can't wait to use Dana for our next event!

    Dana is literally INCREDIBLE! I used her services for my engagement party, on short notice, she flew to my city, managed everything and coordinated one of the best nights of my entire life. Everything went SO smoothly and beautifully. She is truly one of a kind. I Highly recommend her for your event coordination needs. She took what could have been a highly stressful planning process, and made everything run so smoothly and seamlessly. She calmed my nerves, worked with my family, took charge and exceeded my expectations. She brought my vision to life and it was better than I could've ever imagined. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. Don't look any further, if you want an amazing, smooth and memorable event, use Dana's services. I will never forget her , she really went above and beyond. I can't wait for her to coordinate my next event. She is the best out there!!

    Dana saved the day. My wedding was on May 28, and consisted of many different events. It was a huge Indian/Pakistani American event. I wanted an indoor outdoor mansion wedding for my family to be able to enjoy. I wanted it to be an intimate chic wedding. Dana was able to combine my idea, and use her unique skills, culturally aware talent to bring everything to life. Dana visited the location with me multiple times, she was there for me, and believed in the vision. She mapped out the entire plan, spoke to the vendors, made sure I was supported and stress free. A bride needs support, someone that she can be honest with, and count on to handle stuff, and keep the aunties away. Dana was there side by side day of, handling stuff. I was her priority, she paid attention to every single detail I needed. She loves what she does, and it shows. She is strategic, and has a game plan tailored to a persons personal needs. I recommend her as a planner, and amazing human being. Do business with people that are good people, that are pleasant to work with.

    A week ago I had the wedding I've been dreaming about since I was a little girl and it all went smoothly because of Dana! She is an absolutely amazing coordinator who always checked in on me and definitely calmed my nerves whenever I felt anxious. There are not enough words to describe how GREAT of a coordinator she is. She helped me create a perfect timeline for my wedding that allowed us to get all of our important stuff done first so we could spend the rest of our time enjoying the party. She also creates an itinerary that I sent to all the vendors and bridal party to ensure that everyone knew the times and places for the day of the wedding. Dana helped me come up with a list of things I needed for my wedding and gave me a reference to a flower vendor who did an amazing job. She does more than help coordinate the day of the wedding, and that's why I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She took in everything I said about how I wanted my decor to look like, and she made my vision come true. She made my day so comfortable and relaxing so that I could enjoy my big day. Dana 100% cares about her clients, and that's what's makes her so good at her job. Thank you, Dana, for making our dream wedding come true. -The Rendons

    5 stars in not ENOUGH to rate Dana's services!! from our very first photo call I felt so comfortable with Dana and knew she would be our wedding coordinator. Every time I would text her she would reply so quickly and honestly never made me feel like i was bothering her. We met up a couple days before the wedding so I could give her some items I needed to be set for the receptions. Dana was one of the best choices my husband and I made for the wedding. there was absolutely no stress on our end and the wedding reception was executed perfectly! My family members even made comments on how amazing Dana was that night and how she was always on the next step for the itinerary. I recommend Dana 1000%!!!! You will not regret having her be your coordinator!

    I at first didn't want a coordinator because I was used to doing everything myself. But man was I wrong. Dana was amazing. She typed out a timeline which was the most helpful thing ever. She handled all the vendors on contacting them and leading us on what to do. I thought 80 guests was a lot but she said it was like a breeze for that many people. My wedding had no errors and it went perfectly. I was so surprised we had no drama or errors. Go with her. I can vouch for her and I'm a very picky person.

    Dana was the coordinator for our 100 person Sunday brunch wedding. We started working with her 3 months before the event, and from the get-go, she was incredibly responsive and organized. Starting about 2 months out, we had more detailed conversations about timelines, specific things that needed to be set up and when, other vendors, etc. On the actual day, Dana was a lifesaver. She was there on time and was running around setting things up and coordinating other vendors. By the time I arrived for photos, she had already finished setting up the ceremony and reception spaces. She kept things running smoothly as guests arrived and the ceremony started. When small issues popped up, she was there to take care of them so that we could continue chatting with our guests. Other vendors had nothing but great things to say about her as well. All in all, Dana is an excellent wedding coordinator, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

    Dana is AMAZING, my wedding was seamless due to her help and ability to improvise. Even during the planning process she would offer suggestions to better the overall experience for myself and my guests. Her attention to detail, knowledge and approachable/fun personality made her the perfect coordinator for me. I honestly wish I had another event to plan because I had so much fun with her! Wedding planning was never stressful or overwhelming with Dana on my team. If you're questioning whether or not you need a coordinator, you absolutely do and I can't recommend her enough.

    I was referred to Dana by a trusted friend and I'm so glad I went with her! Our wedding day could not have been perfect without Dana and her co-coordinator, Andrea! The two are your dream team! Dana was reliable and helpful throughout the wedding planning process when I had questions or just needed to bounce off ideas. She made me and my husband feel like we were in great hands which helped ease our stress and anxiety leading up to our big day. We booked a non-inclusive reception venue which meant that we had quite a number of vendors from bartending, waitstaff, catering, dessert, appetizers, DJ/MC, rentals, floral, videography, photography, and more--and yet, Dana successfully lead our vendors to their duties which made set up seamless. The reception design that we had envisioned was beautifully executed. It was perfection in every single way! A day we wish we could relive over and over again. Thank you, Dana and team, for all the care you put into making our wedding day one of the best days of our lives!

If I recall, it went well and I received a lot of Barbie Dolls (even though I wasn't really into Barbies but I think the mothers of the other girls assumed I was). Walking into Happy Parties was a journey into my absent past and started to heal all the psychological effects that one is traumatized from by not having childhood birthday parties. Happy Parties wasn't even open when I attempted to walk in but Don, whom appears to be the owner or manager; was still in the shop because the other crew was working on a party that night so since he was there, he allowed me to be there as well, even after hours! The shop is a mixture of party favor supply and vintage toy store. The shelves are filled with standards like party board games, costumes, party favors such fake rings for the little girls and toy guns for the boys, little stuffed animals, rubber stamps, etc; which are sold individually or can be purchased in bulk for your child's party guests. The best part, no matter what your age, is the toys that we remember from our years as a tyke: Smurfs figurines, rubber Gumby dolls, and slinkies to name a few. It is almost like being at a flea market which is always a treat! Happy Parties doesn't just sell party supplies or favors, it also helps plan/run the party providing entertainment (clowns, costumed characters, and face painters), themes, and games. This will take the strain off of any stressed parent! Plus, Don announced that they are starting to run adult parties, as well. To add the icing to the cake (I love puns), Don was kind, polite, and very cheerful. Again, he allowed me to browse even after closing hours but he also exchanged (graciously) information with my boyfriend after learning that he is an artist and would be interested in providing caricature drawing services at future parties. Don genuinely seems happy with what he does for a living (and I learned that he didn't have birthday parties growing up, either!). Whether you are a stressed parent needing party-planning help or just a nutcase needing birthday party therapy like myself, Happy Parties seems to be the solution. Now let me go cry if I want to.
