Invoices can be paid via Aisle Planner with credit card or you can make arrangements with Danielle and Ethan to pay in cash, or check.

Will I still have control over my wedding if I hire you?

Absolutely — Danielle and Ethan are here to bring your vision to life (or help you create one from scratch!) and assist in the most helpful ways possible for you. Although they requires that all vendors they work with are licensed and insured, They can assist in locating, booking, and managing vendors. You will always have the final say in any and all elements of the event day.

Does Danielle Nichole Events help with design?

Creation and execution of a design scheme is only included with select collections that are offered, but if you would like to add it to your collection let Danielle and Ethan know and they can create a custom quote/collection to include design help.

Can I use my own vendors?

We are always happy to offer vendor recommendations as needed, but you are never required to use specific vendors we suggest That being said, the event pros we recommend are tried and true. We’ve had positive experiences with them and can vouch based on multiple experiences. If you decide to go off our list, the only requirements we have are that every vendor we work with is licensed and insured and that a full-service caterer is booked.

Do I still need a planner if my venue has a coordinator?

Yes! You very much need a professional planner whether or not your venue has it’s own coordinator. Venue coordinators are usually only present to help with any venue specifics such as letting vendors in, providing guidance where to find certain things like power outlets , water sources and more. Having an actually planner present can help make your day go smoothly and help with communicating with vendors and more.
