About Events by Dallas
Events by Dallas
Events by Dallas provides wedding planning, coordination, and design support for couples throughout Nevada County, Sacramento, the Sierra Foothills, and Lake Tahoe. As an award-winning, certified, and insured wedding professional, I combine thoughtful planning, strong logistics, and a calm, supportive approach to help couples enjoy the journey to their wedding day. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or an elevated estate wedding, I am passionate about creating meaningful experiences while ensuring every detail is carefully managed so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most.
I believe wedding planning is about more than timelines and logistics—it's about creating an experience where couples feel supported, confident, and fully present. My clients often describe me as a calming presence, trusted advocate, and problem solver. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every wedding, combining strong organization with genuine care. From navigating unexpected challenges to coordinating the smallest details, I work behind the scenes to ensure everything comes together seamlessly. My hand and heart are firmly placed on your wedding, allowing you to focus on the moments that matter most while I take care of the details.
In three words: Calm, Flexible, Supportive

Videographer
To give some context on my perspective — I'm a Wedding Videographer. Over nearly seven years of shooting a lot of weddings, I've worked with a wide range of vendors and planners. Working with Dallas stood out immediately. She reached out to every vendor, including me, and made sure I felt informed and included from the start. That kind of vendor communication is not the norm, and it matters more than most people realize. On the day of the event, Dallas made sure every vendor felt taken care of — not just the couple. That says a lot about how she operates. If you're reading this as a couple, here's what I can tell you from the vendor side: if Dallas treats her vendors this well, I can only imagine the level of care her actual clients experience. She's friendly, relatable, and brings a genuinely human quality to the process — which, in this industry, is rarer than it should be. When I get married, I'll be going straight to Dallas. If you're looking for a planner, look no further.
Dallas Darr•Jun 8, 2026Wow, thank you so much for these incredibly kind words. As a wedding planner, one of my biggest goals is to make sure everyone involved in the day feels informed, supported, and valued. Weddings truly are a team effort, so hearing that you felt included and taken care of means more than you know. Working with vendors like you makes my job so much easier, and I loved having you as part of the team. Your professionalism, talent, and positive attitude helped make the day such a success. And I have to admit, your comment about calling me when you get married made me smile! Thank you for your trust, your support, and for taking the time to share your experience. I hope our paths cross again at many more weddings to come.

The best!
Events by Dallas was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was professional and they were easy to collaborate with, listening to our vision and providing helpful guidance. Their team's experience and knowledge was evident in how seamlessly the day unfolded - everything was perfectly timed and they went above and beyond to ensure we were happy at all times. Even after the reception ended, the team helped us with clean-up when they didn't have to, going the extra mile to make sure we could fully enjoy our special day. We are so grateful to Events by Dallas for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
Dallas Darr•Jun 8, 2026Jacob, thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure working with you and Taylor and being part of your wedding day. I especially appreciate hearing from the groom because it is your day too, and it means so much to know you felt supported throughout the process. Thank you for trusting my team and me with such an important day. I'm so glad we were able to help everything run smoothly so you could focus on celebrating and making memories with your family and friends. Wishing you and Taylor a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and adventure together. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a special day!

Stress Free Wedding
From the first time we talked on the phone I knew Dallas wouldn’t let us down. She’s very easy to talk to and you can tell she really cares about making sure your special day goes exactly how you want it to. There were multiple occasions where she was able to calm my nerves down. With all the tools and resources she gave me and my husband, it made the whole wedding planning process so much easier. Once it was time for us to get married, my husband and I had nothing to worry about because we knew Dallas had it covered. Because of her, we were able to enjoy this special time together and I truly can’t thank her enough!
Dallas Darr•Jun 8, 2026Thank you so much for your kind words. I still remember our first phone call, and it means so much to hear that you felt supported from the very beginning. Wedding planning can bring a lot of excitement, but it can also come with stress and overwhelm, so I'm glad I was able to help ease some of those nerves along the way. One of the best compliments I can receive is hearing that you and your husband were able to relax and enjoy your wedding day knowing everything was taken care of. That is exactly what I hope for every couple. Thank you for trusting me with such an important day. It was truly a joy getting to know you both and being part of your wedding journey. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness together!

the BEST wedding experience with Dallas!
Dallas is the absolute best person you could ask for to be by your side throughout the wedding preparation process and the wedding day. She is so thoughtful and creative, and makes any surprise events a “no big deal”, taking care of every little thing at all times. She is so incredibly organized and her planning tools make the preparation so much less stressful. She held my hand through the entire process and was consistently checking in on me to make sure I was doing okay throughout the process. If you are wondering who you not only who you want but who you NEED on your special day, Dallas is the number one choice!
Dallas Darr•Dec 1, 2025Hi sweet friend, Reading this absolutely made my day. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. It truly means the world to know you felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Walking through your planning journey with you was such an honor — I loved being there for the big things, the tiny things, and every little moment in between. I’m just so grateful you trusted me with such an important chapter in your life. Knowing you felt calm, organized, and held… that’s exactly why I do what I do. Wishing you both so much love and joy as you start this new season together. Very best, Dallas

5-Star Review for Our Wedding Coordinator
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Dallas Events for our wedding in Nevada City on October 18, 2025, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! From our very first meeting, Dallas was organized, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life with incredible attention to detail. Every aspect of the planning process was seamless, and communication was always prompt and reassuring. On the day of the wedding, Dallas handled everything flawlessly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing—every vendor was coordinated perfectly, and last-minute hiccups were handled with professionalism. If you’re planning a wedding in Nevada City (or anywhere nearby), do yourself a favor and hire Dallas! Thank you again for making our wedding unforgettable! Catherine and Joaquin
Dallas Darr•Dec 1, 2025Hi Catherine and Joaquin, Your words mean so much to me. I loved being part of your Nevada City wedding — the two of you brought such warmth and joy to the whole day. From our first conversation, I could feel how much love and intention you were putting into your celebration, and it was truly an honor to help bring that vision to life. Thank you for trusting me with every detail and for being such wonderful partners throughout the process. Your day was beautiful, and I’m grateful I could help make it feel effortless for you. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness. Very best, Dallas
