Chris and Dan are INCREDIBLE!! I started off interacting with Dan and then transitioned my touchpoints with Chris as he became the actual onsite coordinator for my wedding. Chris also does fantastic florals and works hard to make sure you achieve your vision within your budget! I super appreciated how budget-minded this team was! Chris has such a fun and sweet nature and knew exactly what my day needed. This team has got it alllll down. I didn’t notice a single thing that felt off on my wedding day - that’s how I know I chose the right coordinators! I could not have picked anyone better. Book them! For real! :) Photo credit Kaitie Brainerd Photography, florals by Chris DeSantis-Mallia, table decor by Creative Happens and Spotted Hen Catering, up lights on dance floor by Creative Happens, venue Grass Room DTLA.

Dan and Chris were absolutely wonderful to work with! Dan was available from the start for any and all questions, including random questions like how to get a marriage certificate and when to do so, and also began preparing our day of schedule and to do lists early (several months before the wedding) at my request as I was getting nervous about being sure we weren’t missing anything. Chris ended up being our day of coordinator and was so great! He led the rehearsal, ensuring everyone knew where to go and what was expected. It was detailed with everyone’s questions answered, but also quick and easy. He ran around all day making sure the DJ was set up, tables, chairs, a sign-in book, the flowers at the front of the aisle, etc. He made sure everything was ready to go for the grand entrances and was my eyes in all the places I couldn’t be on my wedding day. He was everywhere, somehow always out of the way, but right where I needed him. Our wedding went off without a hitch largely due to everything Chris did those 2 days. The value for the money was incredible - sooo worth it!I feel like we got so much more than just a day of coordinator. We also rented a bunch of stuff from Creative Happens and Chris made sure it was all there on the day of and set up for us. A speaker and mic for the ceremony, parasols - which the kids LOVED and made for amazing pictures, seating chart framed mirror, etc. I cannot speak more highly of Dan and Chris and our wonderful experience with Creative Happens - they MADE the day and there’s no way I could’ve done it without them!

Dan went above and beyond for us! Our wedding had a lot of moving parts and he and his partner made it all work out smoothly. He was attentive to every little thing we wanted and was very communicative the whole process. Made us feel very secured for our wedding day. Stop looking for other wedding coordinators and get Dan on your team today - you truly won't regret it!
