Danielle Pasternak Wedding Coordinator

Danielle is absolutely wonderful. She is a very bubbly and fun person and she loves her job! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. I highly recommend her services. She made everything run smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing on my Wedding day!

Danielle was professional, curtious and extremely organized. My day ran so smoothly and I credit that due to Danielle's services, she knew exactly what she was doing and made me feel so calm knowing she was behind the scenes. I would reccommend her time and time again! She was an absolute joy!

Hiring Danielle was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. We were lucky enough to meet with her and start working with her at the very early planning stages, and throughout the entire year leading up to our wedding, she was there with us every step of the way! No matter how big or small an issue might be, Danielle always responded to every phone call and email in a prompt, courteous, and professional manner and always made us feel like our wedding was just as important to her as it was to us. She offered wonderful professional advice, gave excellent vendor recommendations, and provided us with all of the tools we needed to stay on track. As the wedding got closer, Danielle stepped in to handle communication with all of our vendors, which saved us time and stress. Once the wedding weekend had arrived, she took care of coordinating the rehearsal, and made sure our bridal party had all the information they needed, including a pocket-fold timeline telling them where to be, and listing all important phone numbers. But what was most impressive about Danielle was how she handled herself the day of our wedding, when she was faced with some very challenging circumstances that came in the form of a hurricane! Danielle never let the bad weather slow her down, and made sure that the night ran completely smoothly. We did not have to worry about anything and were able to fully enjoy ourselves, knowing that Danielle was handling things behind-the-scenes. She worked hard all the way until even after we had left the reception, making sure all gifts and other items were placed in cars, and sent home with the right people (which was not easy in heavy rain and high winds!!!). You can plan for a wedding all you want, but there is no amount of planning that can prepare you for something like a hurricane. If it were not for Danielle, our wedding day could have easily been ruined. But she was there ensuring us that everything would go as planned, and the day would be perfect, and because of her hard work and dedication, it was! I would recommend her to any bride - not only will your wedding day go off without a hitch, but you will gain a wonderful friend in the process!

I have so many reasons to thank Danielle it's difficult to even know where to start! When I first started planning my wedding I thought I would do it all myself. It wasn't until a good friend of mine told me "you need to hire a day of coordinator or you will go nuts!" that I decided to start to shop around for someone to help out. Through some online searching I found Danielle and I must admit, this was absolutely the best decision I made about my wedding hands down! From the first day to the last, every interaction we had with Danielle was efficient, fast and professional. As the date approached she started taking over more and more, checking in with my vendors and making sure I had everything covered in my own planning. This was enormously helpful, especially because I live in California and was planning my wedding from afar. She offered suggestions but never pushed her opinions on us, letting us make the final decision in every situation. She accounted for every detail, mentioning things I never would have thought of. At the rehearsal she really ran the show! I'm not entirely sure what we would have done without her there - we probably would have been wandering around, confused and frustrated. LOL. Thank goodness she was there to help! During the wedding she assisted where we could not, made sure everyone was where they should, and ultimately was responsible for helping make our wedding absolutely PERFECT :) Honestly I really couldn't imagine having my wedding without Danielle - she helped me be a calm, happy and joyful bride. She really is the best!

We hired Danielle to be our Day Of Coordinator at our wedding this June. It was a decision we got way more out of than we had realized. We did most of the details of our do-it-yourself wedding and labored over most of our decisions carefully, but realized it would be important to have someone ensuring everything went smoothly the actual day of, even though we didn’t want full fledged planning. Danielle definitely was one of the MOST amazing wedding vendors we could have gotten. From the moment she signed on, she was perfect. She checked in with us routinely but knowing that we had a lot of details we were doing ourselves, she never intruded or was aggressive about her opinions but offered advice when we would ask for it (often at midnight or 2 in the morning, wholesale flowers was a common topic…). She was impeccably professional, so responsive (she may or may not take her Ipad to the bath with her ;) )—literally answering emails with lightening fast timing. She made the trek down to south of Philadelphia where we were having our wedding, went through an entire meeting at our venue, and made sure she was on the same page as we were. She also spent hours of time coordinating with our different vendors to make sure we were in good hands—this was incredibly important as we definitely did not have time to do so and she would consistently check in with checklists/emails to all collaborators. She molded the vendors we had carefully chosen separately into an actually remarkably cohesive team of vendors working for our wedding with our goals in mind instead of just letting the vendors show up on our wedding day and “seeing what would happen.” The actual rehearsal (the night before) and the day-of our wedding was amazing. She walked us through the whole rehearsal, helping us with parts of the wedding that we just couldn’t have known how to really do ourselves (where to be standing, ordering of the procession, cues, etc.). This was really important especially since we wrote the ceremony ourselves but obviously had no experience running an actual wedding. The day of—what could be said of her role in this—she was absolutely phenomenal. There are so many things at weddings that just are not in your hands. She was everywhere at once but was unseen—that is EXACTLY what I think you want your wedding coordinator to do. She put out multiple little fires without getting the bride involved, was carefully coordinating timing throughout the day, and being the mother hen by making us get to where we should be on time. From start to finish of the actual wedding, she was on point. She made sure we cut the cake at the right time, had family lined up for the appropriate dances, etc. She also made sure we had everything packed up and taken back to the hotel appropriately. Finally, just a note about her—her personality is so vivacious and friendly—she is very easy to work with and it should speak volumes that when we were searching for someone, her name was given to us BY another wedding planner who was using her as the day-of! That sums it up!

Being a DOC myself, I knew that I needed an awesome coordinator for my own wedding. Danielle is everything you hope to get when you hire a DOC. She is super-organized and has a positive attitude. Everyone at the wedding enjoyed their interactions with her, and I really cannot imagine pulling off all the little details of the day without her.

Danielle is beyond amazing. Not only did she make my friends and family feel better prepared for the day, but kept open communication between all vendors during the entire planning process. She has been there to assist my mother and I with any questions or concerns since day one and is always quick to respond to emails or phone calls- always within the same day! The value of Danielle's services are well worth the cost- and affordable! She was always able to answer any questions I had and helped guide me through numerous wedding dilemmas. She was well organized and a wealth of information. Not to mention that she is one of the sweetest people I know! She is extremely kind and a true, genuine person. I'd highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

Danielle was awesome! We had a lot of people traveling from out of town, a lot of last minute changes to ceremony, and multiple locations during the day and Danielle conquered it all. Her best qualities are her judgement, stellar taste, responsiveness, and great personality. Danielle handled the night with grace and ease.

Dannielle was great! she truly took all the stress off me on my wedding day and i got to enjoy my day. before the wedding she always answered all my phone calls and emails and helped IMMENSLY in the planning! She was a godsend the day of teh wedding and took care of every detail! She made sure everything ran on schedule and helped with decorations, timelines, and about a million other things.... to many things to list! Honestly, i cant imagine my wedding day without her there helping out. i think it would of turned out to be a disaster without her help!! i cant thank her enough for everything she has done!!!

Danielle was absolutely amazing as our wedding coordinator. I did not think I would need a coordinator but realized I would need someone to help with the millions of little details and coordination between many vendors and venues(church, reception, hotel) I hired Danielle last minute and she worked so hard in the short time she had to make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. She is a pleasure to be around and made sure I did not have a care in the world on our wedding day. I was able to enjoy every moment because I knew she was behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend her as a wedding coordinator!!! Keally

Danielle was AMAZING to work with. She is a go with the flow kind of girl. She makes sure your able to enjoy your day and not have to worry about all the little problems that may be happening. Decorating my reception was no small feat, but she took control and made everything look beautiful. i can not thank her enough. I dont know what I would have done without her. She was my god send!

Danielle was wonderful, she made sure that the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. Also, she made sure that all of the items from the reception that we had to take home were either taken care of or made sure that they would be. I would recommend Danielle to any bride/groom that are in need of a Wedding Planner.

Danielle is very professional. She returns calls, emails, messages quickly. She's very reliable. She made my wedding experience a lot easier by dealing with all of the stressful situations any bride would face. A wedding day can be really chaotic, but with Danielle, everything is bound to go smoothly! I am so thankful to have had Danielle there for my wedding day. When it was time to pull together and decorate a huge reception hall (with an overwhelming amount of banquet tables and chairs to disassemble, might I add...) Danielle had a game plan for it all. She gave the orders to the helpers and it was all put together in no time. I was completely baffled when it came to the coordination of the ceremony... that was no problem once Danielle came along. When things began to get stressful for me, Danielle always remained calm, very level- headed, which def. rubbed off on me. Anytime I ran in to a problem, it was as if I just handed them to her and they were taken care of right away. Anything that I needed done, she did it, from handling the food, bustling my wedding dress, or putting on my shoes, Danielle did it all. She is extremely dependable. When I arrived at the chapel, she was waiting in the front for me. She took me to a back room where I could relax until the ceremony started. She had water waiting for me, and this bag she carried around with her had any last minute things that a bride would need. I can honestly say that Danielle is the main reason my wedding day went so smoothly. She was a blessing.I had my own vision for my wedding. I knew how I wanted my wedding to go, and Danielle didn't change a thing. She only made it better. I think the most important thing for a bride is for things to go the way she intended. She did things the way I wanted them to go. She is very respectful in that way. She is a really happy person ( who is an awesome "Cha Cha slider by the way...) All I can say is, if you want your day to be stress free, go with Danielle. You wont be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to be a good karma winner for Danielle leading me to have free services for day-of wedding coordination. It was fantastic. She respoinds quickly to emails, answered phone calls and is very organized. Her support at the rehearsal was much appreciated and her services the day of were great especially when my photographer's car wouldn't start. She was able to send someone to get him so that he wouldn't miss the reception. She is kind and warm and I am honored that she was able to coordinate my wedding.

Danielle is amazing. We hired her to be our Day of Coordinator and she certainly played her part. Besides her service on the day of, she was there to assist me with any questions, was quick to respond to my emails and always gave the best suggestions to any dilemmas that I encounter. Not once did she tried to take away or change my vision. She was organized, understanding, patient and kind, which made it easy to work with. With Danielle as my DOC, we was able to fully enjoy our wedding and guests and I can't thank her enough! She is truly amazing!
