Your Trusted Wedding BFF
Wedding planning can feel like too much—too many opinions, too many trends, and too many costs piling up fast. You’re not alone if you're wondering: Can we actually plan a wedding that feels good, fits our budget, and reflects who we are?
Yes! You absolutely can!
With over a decade in the wedding and travel industry, I created Affordably Ever After to help couples like you feel seen, heard, and empowered. Together, we’ll ditch the pressure, skip the fluff, and build a celebration that’s joyful, intentional, and 100% yours.
My Story
As a former venue wedding coordinator turned budget advocate, I’ve seen firsthand how easily couples get swept up in the pressure to plan a “Pinterest-perfect” wedding.
I created Affordably Ever After to change that—to give couples expert guidance, clear priorities, and real support without the overwhelm.

"Danielle, the coordinator was AMAZING made sure that things were in order and good to go. I had a little fall out with the DJ I had hired; he didn’t show up. Danielle did everything she can to find me another DJ at the last minute and came through. My husband and I were very pleased with the way she did things. I honestly couldn’t have gone through that day without her!! SHES TRULY AMAZING."

FAQ- Frequent Questions
Is this the same as hiring a wedding planner?
Not quite! Wedding planners typically manage every detail of your day from start to finish. I offer wedding consulting—which means I help you plan smarter, prioritize your budget, and guide you through decisions so you can take the lead with confidence.
What’s included in each package?
Each package is structured to meet you where you are in the planning journey. “Inspire” includes a one-time session and resources to get you started. “Design” offers more hands-on support including vendor sourcing and budget assistance. “Oversee” is for couples who want ongoing guidance throughout their planning process.
How does wedding consulting work?
Wedding consulting through Affordably Ever After is offered in three customizable tiers—so you get the right amount of support at the right time. Whether you’re just getting started or deep into planning, I’m here to help you navigate vendors, budgets, and decisions without the overwhelm.
Can I upgrade my package later?
Absolutely! If you start with a smaller package and realize you’d like more support, you can easily upgrade. I’ll credit your original package toward the new one so you’re never paying double.
Do you attend the wedding as well?
I don’t attend weddings or offer day-of coordination. My goal is to get you so well-prepared that you walk into your wedding day feeling confident and calm. Some couples may choose to hire a Day-Of Coordinator as well, which I am happy to provide recommendations for.
Do you help with honeymoon or wedding room blocks?
Yes! As part of your wedding consulting experience, I also offer optional travel planning services—including help with booking your honeymoon or coordinating a wedding room block for your guests. It’s one less thing on your plate, and ensures everything flows smoothly from “I do” to wheels up.
