About Solstice Planning Studio
Solstice Planning Studio
Solstice is built on the belief that the most meaningful weddings are the ones that feel steady, intimate, and deeply personal. At the heart of everything we do is a marriage-first philosophy. The wedding is important, but it is not the point. We exist to help couples make decisions that feel true to them, even when those choices are simpler or less traditional than what’s expected.
Your marriage comes first, always. Every decision is made in service of protecting the couple’s experience, their presence, and the emotion of the day, rather than meeting expectations or chasing aesthetics for their own sake. We believe that the quiet moments and the "in-between" moments that may otherwise go unnoticed are the most powerful way to measure the success of your wedding day.
In three words: Confident, Organized, Thoughtful

My dream come true
When my husband and I began searching for a wedding venue, we visited several locations—but ultimately, we chose our venue because of Danielle. From our very first meeting, we knew we would be in great hands with her. It was, without a doubt, the best decision we made during the entire planning process. Danielle made everything feel effortless. We were working with a strict budget, and she helped us maximize every dollar without compromising on our vision. Her communication was clear, and consistent, removing of the stress and uncertainty that often comes with planning a wedding. Midway through our planning, Danielle received an exciting opportunity at a new venue. While I was thrilled for her, I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous about what that might mean for us. But Danielle’s dedication is truly unmatched—despite having started a new role, she returned to oversee our wedding day and stayed through the entire evening. We were beyond grateful for her loyalty and support. One of my favorite memories from the day (besides marrying my husband, of course!) was when Danielle pulled us aside before the reception to see the reception space fully set up. The countless boxes of candles and decor I had dropped off the night before had been transformed into something so magical. The room took my breath away—I was instantly in tears. All those months of planning and dreaming had come to life more beautifully than I ever imagined. Thanks to Danielle, I had the perfect wedding day. She is fun, knowledgeable, flexible, incredibly talented, and wholeheartedly committed to her couples. We feel so lucky to have found her.
A wedding to remember
Danielle Made Our Wedding Absolutely Perfect! I don’t even know where to begin in expressing how amazing Danielle was as our wedding coordinator. From the very first conversation, she brought a sense of calm, organization, and genuine care that made the entire planning process feel not so overwhelming. Danielle truly went above and beyond every step of the way. She listened to our ideas, helped create our vision, and made sure every single detail was executed flawlessly. Her communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring—and on the big day, she was nothing short of a miracle worker. Everything ran so smoothly, and we can’t thank her enough for that. Danielle has a special gift—not only for logistics and coordination but for creating a day that feels personal, magical, and completely stress-free. Our guests noticed it too—so many people told us how seamless and beautiful the day felt. We are so grateful to have had Danielle by our side. She gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is personalable, reliable, creative, and incredibly skilled at what she does, Danielle is the one. Thank you, Danielle, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!
The best in the business
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Danielle for my wedding, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about her! From our very first conversation, she was warm, organized, and completely on top of every detail. She made what could have been an overwhelming process feel smooth and enjoyable, always making herself available to answer questions and offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way. Danielle has a natural talent for bringing a vision to life. She listened carefully to what we wanted and somehow made it even better than we imagined. On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly — I didn’t have to stress about a single thing because I knew Danielle had it all handled. Her calm presence and professionalism made all the difference, and I was able to fully enjoy one of the most important days of my life. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredible at what she does but also genuinely cares about her clients, Danielle is the one. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
You’ve found the best, why even look at the rest?
My wife and I worked with Danielle at a venue and she was so fantastic, we followed her from one venue to the other. We were so interested to work with her, we sought her out. The building, the amenities and the food…important? I guess… but not as important as the person who is going to help you keep the event on the rails, be in your corner the whole time and do everything she can to make your day the best it can be. Someone once told me, “a bunch of things are gonna go sideways on your day, you’ll know, but no one else will. Just enjoy the whole thing.” Danielle made sure to make our day as perfect as it really turned out to be. It was 5 years ago and people still comment on the day.
