DA Event Planning

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela is unbelievable. She is incredibly talented, professional as can be and so kind. She immediately takes away so much stress with her efficiency and thoroughness and all our vendors knew every last detail and were all on the same page. Our wedding timeline was perfectly created and followed. She had everything in place, was extremely flexible and communicated with my mother and I constantly. My family and I feel so lucky that she chose to work with us, thank you again Daniela for everything!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela was absolutely amazing to work with. She took care of every detail over my 2 day, 4 event Indian wedding and made sure I had nothing to stress about. She even went so far above and beyond that she came to the venue one day early on her own dime to make sure everything was set up and ready to go. You could not ask for anyone more dedicated to giving you the wedding of your dreams!

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela is truly an angel! I did most of the vendor coordination before hiring DA Event Planning but starting at 60 days out from the wedding, I no longer had to worry about anything! A lot of my husband’s family members only speak spanish and it was very important to us for the wedding planner to be able to communicate with everyone comfortably, she was amazing! We also had 2 medical emergencies and Daniela handled these with complete ease, my husband and I didn’t even know something happened until the morning after the wedding! Hiring DA Event Planning was the biggest help, you cannot go wrong with this extremely professional and organized team!

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela and team are absolutely amazing!! We went with full wedding planning, and could not have been happier with our decision to go with her. She is very experienced in all types of event planning (especially South Asian weddings), and was one of the biggest reasons our wedding went so smoothly! She is very kind, thoughtful, and communicative with us, and really provided a ton of resources and help in every planning stage. Her and her team’s adaptability and attention to detail was impressive, and it gave us complete confidence that we could enjoy and be present for our wedding, knowing her and her team are taking care of it all. If you are looking for a wedding planner who does it all and more, look no further and hire DA Event planning!

Experiencia fantástica: As a DJ, I really appreciate when planners take the time to communicate and make sure everything is running smoothly — and Daniela didn’t just meet those expectations, she exceeded them. Her communication was a true 10/10, her attention to the timeline was next-level, and the fact that she’s bilingual (Spanish) is a huge plus here in the Tampa Bay area. If you haven’t booked her yet, do it ASAP. She’s incredibly good at what she does. Looking forward to working with you again, Daniela!

Experiencia fantástica: As a vendor, Daniela is everything you want in a planner and more! She is detail-oriented, efficient, and just all around a wonderful human to work with! If you have the opportunity to work with her, you will not regret it!

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela is so organized, professional, and made the entire planning process stress-free. From start to finish, she paid attention to every detail and made sure everything came together. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience and highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re seeking a professional planner who’s kind, efficient, effective, and genuinely cares about your event, DA Event Planning is the perfect fit. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Daniela a couple of times now, and she’s truly exceptional. Her warm smile, positive attitude, and genuine concern for others make her a pleasure to work with. Additionally, her bilingualism is a great asset, especially for reaching a wider audience. I want to express my gratitude to Daniela for her exceptional service and for being such a wonderful person. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated planner.

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela was the absolute BEST month of coordinator we could have asked for. She communicated so thoroughly with me for the entire month leading up to our wedding. She paid attention to every detail I described and organized the entire day so beautifully. She did a venue walk through as well to ensure we were both on the same page. She went above and beyond to make our wedding the best day ever for us! We can't thank her enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I truly don’t know what I would have done without Daniela. From our very first meeting, she was organized, transparent, and incredibly patient. She clearly explained what the process would look like — what I needed to handle and what she would take care of — and from that moment on, I knew I was in good hands. Throughout the entire planning process, Daniela was my rock. She always reassured me when things got overwhelming and helped keep the stress to a minimum. She never missed a beat — reminding me of payment due dates, catching small details I hadn’t even considered, and helping me bring my wedding vision to life in every way. She was instrumental in finding vendors that matched our style and budget, and her calm, collected energy was exactly what I needed during the planning process. On the big day itself? Absolute perfection. We had 350 guests and a 7-hour ceremony and reception — and Daniela handled it all flawlessly. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I got to fully enjoy my wedding knowing Daniela had it all covered. Hiring her was hands-down the best decision and best money I ever spent. If you’re looking for a planner who’s organized, thoughtful, and truly invested in your day — Daniela is the one!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with DA Event Planning was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived at Kaylyn & Jessiah’s wedding at The Field Club in Sarasota, we could immediately feel how beautifully and thoughtfully every single detail had been curated—and that’s all thanks to Daniela and her incredible team. Daniela was organized, calm, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. She made sure everything flowed seamlessly, from vendor load-in to guest experiences. As a photo booth vendor, we always appreciate when a planner understands the vision and helps tie our setup into the event’s aesthetic—and Daniela did exactly that (and more!). She coordinated effortlessly with us to make sure our booth aligned perfectly with the couple’s floral palette and decor style. Her professionalism is matched only by her creativity, and it was such a joy to witness the magic she brought to life. If you’re planning a wedding in Sarasota or anywhere in Florida and want a planner who brings both heart and vision to your big day, we can’t recommend DA Event Planning enough. We can’t wait to work together again soon! — EVNT Photobooth Co.

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela was absolutely phenomenal and I could not recommend her and her team enough! Hiring a day-of coordinator was top of mind for my wife and I because although we wanted to plan everything ourselves, we also wanted to be fully present on the day of our wedding. I met with about 10 different wedding coordinators and Daniela was my last meeting. I knew right away that Daniela’s warmth and determined energy was the perfect fit for my wedding at the Sunken Gardens. She answered every question I had with confidence and never made me feel like she was going to pressure me on any decisions (many of the coordinators did not give me this feeling). From our first meeting to the wedding day, she was attentive and fast to respond. On the wedding day, she gave us complete peace of mind as she coordinated with our other vendors to make sure everything was as we envisioned. To say Daniela went above and beyond is actually an understatement. Here are a few of the ways she exceeded our expectations: she provided worksheets to create all necessary timelines for the wedding day, she made up a plate of charcuterie from our cocktail hour and delivered this + wine to us while we were doing our couples portraits, and she loaded her own vehicle with DIY items and florals and dropped them off at our house at the end of the night. The day after the wedding, my Dad told me that he had doubts about whether a day-of coordinator was necessary but after seeing Daniela work, he agreed her leadership was the key to how flawless the evening went. If you have any doubts about booking with DA Event Planning, I hope this review will encourage you to move forward. If we ever need an event coordinator in the future, we would quickly reach back out to Daniela and her team. Thanks for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela and team are amazing! From the planning process to the execution of the event, Daniela was with us the entire time- keeping things organized and helping us find vendors, including our two officiants for our somewhat a-typical combined Christian-Hindu ceremony. She is very responsive, on top of it all, and an all-around great person to work with! Daniela made sure that the vision for our wedding was represented throughout - with our focus being on our guests and ensuring that they had an amazing time at our celebration. Our venue didn't have the best communication with us or Daniela leading up to the event, and upon arrival to the venue, Daniela made sure that everything ran smoothly and did a lot behind the scenes that we didn't even know about so that we could enjoy our day. She and her team made it possible for us to be in the moment on our wedding day and we were able to relax knowing that DA Event Planning team had everything covered!

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible planners! They knew the ins and outs of Western and Indian weddings and made our day(s) very special. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: We hired Daniela to help us plan and coordinate our destination wedding in March of 2024. Daniela was phenomenal to work with! She is such a great listener, so patient and supportive, and she truly understood our wedding vision. She made every step of the planning process so easy! I actually enjoyed wedding planning, just from all of the support she gave and knowing I had someone I could trust and count on for the wedding day! She always put me at ease. The day of the wedding, I had no time to oversee or check up on the set-up of the ceremony or reception. But, that didn’t matter, because Daniela and her assistant were on it! I had the LONGEST list of requests for the set-up and decor, and Daniela didn’t miss one detail. My whole vision came to life, and it was such a pleasant surprise to see all of that when I walked down the aisle and into the reception space. I’m not a big crier, but I was in legitimate tears of happiness all day and night, because of how beautiful our wedding day was. None of that could have happened without Daniela, and my wife and I are beyond grateful we hired her! Thank so, so much Daniela! I hope we can take you out for a drink the next time we are in Florida! :)

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough about Daniela. Living in Gainesville and trying to plan a wedding in Tampa can be so stressful. Not when you hire DA event planning. Daniela and her assistant made the day so stress free and I was able to focus on my daughter for her big day. Daniela was on top of everything from the beginning of the day to the end of the night. She contacted all vendors prior to my daughter’s big day and had everything coordinated. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I was able to be the mother of the bride and not a stressed mother of the bride. She was so caring, dependable and down right one of the best people I have ever encountered. I highly recommend her. You won’t regret it. Thank you Daniela. You’re truly amazing!!!

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re looking for the best planner/coordinator money can buy DANIELA IS YOUR GIRL!!!!! I cannot even begin to express how amazing working with her was!! She was punctual, helpful, kind, resourceful, creative, and overall just absolutely amazing. I am not someone that’s very good with creative things or decorating, however Daniela made my venue look absolutely stunning with the few things I gave her to work with. I was super worried about how things would go down but I had the most relaxed and fun wedding ever and it was all thanks to her! I got to enjoy the morning and afternoon with my bridesmaids while she took care of everything. Even the rehearsal went smooth and easy because of her great direction. You would be making yourself a disservice if you didn’t hire her. My husband and I have both agreed that if we were to do it all over again, hiring Daniela would be the quickest decision to be made. Our wedding was the most fun and meaningful day of our lives and we’re so grateful we got to do that alongside someone as sweet, genuine, and kind as Daniela and her team :)

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela Alvarez at DA event planning is a great planner. She is wonderful. Very easy to talk to, very organized, professional and available 24x7. She planned our Tampa wedding reception for almost 350 people. Everything went smooth, she managed few unexpected emergencies also. She handled all the vendors. I will love to work with her for all my future events.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Daniela. From our first time chatting she put me at ease. She has a knack for wedding planning and you can tell she really enjoys it. The thing that truly separates Daniela from others I dealt with during the wedding planning process was that she doesn’t put money first - it’s an afterthought, which takes some of the pressure off and is a breath of fresh air. She went above and beyond for me, from picking up the cake to doing all my florals. Reaching out to her was the best planning decision I made. I thought I could do it alone but, wow, did I underestimate how much I needed someone like her in my corner. Thank you 1,000 times for helping me have my dream wedding! Don’t think twice before hiring her - she’s an invaluable addition to your team.

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela was such a pleasure to work with and felt like part of the family. She kept me calm and organized on my big day!

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela was amazing in every way! She was very communicative with us and acted as the perfect liaison for our vendors. Would 10/10 recommend her services to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela was the Wedding Planer for my cousin’s wedding. The wedding was a dream come true. Every detail, every part of it was perfect! Her vision and the final product were for sure above and beyond.

Experiencia fantástica: Let me start by saying that my wife hired Daniela so we could get some local help for a family reunion “get together” at Treasure Island. Since my wife’s first contact with Daniela she was impressed with her professionalism and organization skills but we all agreed, my wife, vendors and myself that most importantly she is the sweetest and nicest person to work with. We ended having Daniela coordinate a the Bridal Luncheon, the make-up schedules and hairdos for 40 ladies and a Beach Brunch the next day. We live in Michigan and our niece was getting married in Saint Petersburg. We couldn’t have had so much fun and maximized our time together without her help. Thanks Daniela for ALL your help!!!! Every detail was impecable and she was with all of us side by side until the day we left. You deserve 10 stars sweetheart!!!! Good luck in your future endeavors! Best regards, Andino-Galva family

Experiencia fantástica: I hired Daniela for a picnic at the park to celebrate Father’s Day to my husband. Daniela was so wonderful, she has great attention to details, everything was very pretty, well thought out, clean, wonderful! I told her the color scheme I wanted and she made it happened. She did everything from setting up to take it down, we just sat and relax. She also took pictures of us! She is wonderful! Please hire her you won’t regret!!

Experiencia fantástica: The best company for private events. I highly recommend DA Event Planner to make your party unforgivable. Very professional ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Daniela is a very professional, dedicated, and a detailed person! She was the weeding planner of my wedding and I have to say that she exceeded my expectations!!! I highly recommend Daniela for any event you need !!!
