    We hired Dana for her day-of coordinator services. Not only was she incredibly helpful pre-wedding, but when I walked into the venue day-of and saw how beautifully everything came together, I knew I could relax and that Dana had everything handled. We didn't have a single worry for the rest of the night. She managed our chaotic families gracefully and if there was a problem we were none the wiser! Because of Dana, we could truly be present and experience our day without getting lost in worrying about the details. We couldn't have asked for a better day and it would NOT have happened without Dana! You won't be disappointed to hire her!

  • Amazing!!

    Dana & Nicole were amazing to work with. We used Dana Marine for month of coordination and the only regret I have is not using them for the full package! Having Nicole in my life during the chaos and craziness that entails planning a wedding was an absolute god send. Nicole took charge of all the vendors and made sure everything was going smoothly. So many things happened on the back end that I didnt know about until days after the wedding and Nicole seriously saved the day so many times that I didnt even know about. Professional but also personable is sometimes hard to find in a vendor this is not the case with Nicole and Dana. They are both so sweet and also so on it!! I am thrilled with having hired them and making my dream wedding come to life. Huge THANK YOU and if I could give them more stars I absolutely would. Don't hesitate for a second to hire them!
