Simply the best!

We do not think there’s a single other planner who could have put together our vision for our wedding so perfectly, without a single issue. Our wedding was moved from being almost a year away to just 7 weeks away due to some unexpected circumstances. It seemed an impossible task to be done without making major compromises, but Danielle put it together without compromising on a single detail. She brought us the best vendors, was super responsive, kept us on top of our tasks, worked perfectly within budget, and was kind and personable the whole way through. On our wedding day, there was not an ounce of responsibility on our shoulders, and she handled every question or concern.
We are so very blessed that we had such a wonderful planner to help plan our special day. All of our friends and family were wondering how we put everything together in such short notice, and we could only point in her direction as the explanation. We strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a planner for their wedding!

The Best Decision We Made

Having Danielle as our wedding planner was the single best decision we made for our wedding. She did not just plan our day, she gave us the gift of being able to actually enjoy it. From start to finish, she was calm, organized, and completely invested in making everything perfect, not just for the wedding itself, but for us as a couple.

Throughout the entire process, Danielle made us feel supported and cared for. Hiring Danielle was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding, and honestly, you would be crazy not to. She did not just plan the day, she gave us the gift of being able to truly enjoy it. From the very beginning, she was calm, organized, and completely invested in making everything perfect for us.

All throughout our engagement, people warned us, “nothing will be perfect,” “something will always go wrong,” and “nothing is ever on time.” With Danielle, every single one of those warnings was wrong. Everything was perfect. Not one thing went wrong. Everything stayed on schedule, and the entire day flowed seamlessly. That is how good she is.

Throughout the process, Danielle made us feel cared for every step of the way. She handled every detail with thought and kindness, and she always made us feel supported. We never once felt like just another wedding. She cared about us as people, and that made all the difference.

On the wedding day itself, Danielle was a force. Every vendor was on time, every detail was in place, and the day ran so smoothly that our guests even commented on how stress free it all felt. We were able to be present, laugh, cry, and soak in every moment because Danielle was behind the scenes making sure everything was flawless.

She went above and beyond in every way. Danielle gave us more than a wedding day. She gave us peace of mind, unforgettable memories, and the chance to just be in the moment. If you are considering hiring her, stop thinking and do it. She is the reason our wedding was perfect, and it will be the best decision you make.

Everything was PERFECT!!

We cannot say enough about Danielle! Two years of planning and our day went off perfectly! Danielle is responsive, hard-working and organized but even more importantly such a joy to work with! Anything we needed was taken care of including a few last-minute requests. Danielle knows all the local vendors, found us the best ones and managed all the communications. Choosing Danielle to be our wedding planner was the best decision we could have made!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Wedding Planner of our Dreams

Danielle was absolutely amazing! We had a two year planning process and she was truly with us every step of the way. Her local knowledge and close relationships with vendors was fantastic as we do not live in the area.

Danielle's top notch organization was crucial and her level of responsiveness went above and beyond our expectations. Additionally, her years of wedding planning experience was helpful in evaluating vendors, budgeting and overall design. Most importantly, Danielle was a calming force that kept us both sane during the planning process and allowed us to truly enjoy every minute of our wedding weekend.

We could not recommend Danielle more to anyone in the broader Toronto / Niagara area looking to have a spectacular wedding!

Hiring Danielle was the key to making our Wedding such a success! Thank you Danielle!

As a Wedding Photographer myself, hiring someone who also works in the Wedding Industry as a professional is huge deal! I knew from the moment I got engaged that I wanted to work with Danielle! She was the only person we had inquired with to help execute our plans for our special day, we knew she was the one from the get go!

Danielle helped with every detail along the way, and didn’t leave one stone unturned. She constantly communicated with me when I had questions and always gave me her professional opinion.

Hiring Danielle was the best decision we made for our day. Our day would not have been the success that it was without her and her team, and my husband and I are forever grateful!

She truly went above and beyond for us and we are so so grateful for the hard work she put in over our two year planning process!

On a side note, as a Wedding Professional who also works in the industry, I also have worked with Danielle a few times at Weddings that I have personally photographed, and because I had worked with her previously and seen her incredible work ethic and execution of her events, my husband and I knew she was the one for us!! She also makes my job so so easy when I myself am the Photographer at the Wedding!

Danielle, thank you is simply not enough! You’re the best!

BEST decision you will make when planning your wedding is working with Danielle!!!!

Words can not do justice how phenomenal Danielle is. Without a doubt, the best decision we made when planning our wedding was the decision to work with Danielle. Everyone in the industry knows and respects her- and there is a reason for that! There is truly no one better out there! She was extremely flexible and available through the entire process. She prioritized what was important to us and then made sure that even the things we didn't think of were absolutely perfect. Our wedding far exceeded any expectation and we were able to truly enjoy the best day ever because we knew Danielle had it all covered. She handled all of the day of bumps- for example 5 mins before our ceremony was supposed to start, I realized I forgot all of the readings for the ceremony (whoops) and within 2 minutes she had a solution.. then one of my bridesmaids fainted (she's ok!) and Danielle swooped in without a pause and took care of her and the day carried on. I could go on for ages about how our wedding 100% would not have been possible without her and she made it the best day of our lives!!! And not to mention, she has an unmatched eye for design and created the most spectacular, love filled wedding space I've ever seen. Trust me, do yourself a favor and work with Danielle.

Couldn't have done it without her!

I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with wedding planner Danielle Shaw-Vaccariello with Shaw Events. From the moment we connected, Danielle's responsiveness and dedication were evident. She went above and beyond to ensure that our day was everything we had envisioned.

Working with Danielle was a breeze. Her easygoing nature combined with her impeccable taste and vendor recommendations made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. Her insights into design were invaluable, and her vendor suggestions were spot on.

Our wedding day was an absolute dream, and we owe much of that to Danielle's expertise. She flawlessly managed every aspect, keeping things moving seamlessly and ensuring that everything fell into place perfectly. Thanks to her, I was able to stay calm and collected, knowing that she had everything under control.

Her expertise shines through in every detail, and it's clear that she genuinely loves what she does. I wholeheartedly recommend Shaw Events to anyone seeking a wedding planner who is not only professional and talented but also dedicated to making your day absolutely perfect.

Danielle and the team at Shaw Events make magic happen!

Danielle is an extremely talented event planner. Her inherent kindness and bubbly attitude has a way of making the planning process feel rewarding and fun. She is patient and supportive, and understands and respects that there is a life beyond the planning process. She is extremely responsive on all platforms, and is great at managing a project timeline such that you never find yourself having to make rushed decisions. She made magic happen when she turned my (poorly-described) vision into reality! I look forward to working with Danielle to plan future events.

Danielle Shaw - Wedding Planning Perfection - Delivering a Dream-Come-True Fairytale Wedding on Every Level

The decision to hire Danielle Shaw for her wedding planning services is one you can make with confidence and without the hesitation of another thought. But if you do, think of it not as a line item in your budget - but as an investment in the overall experience of your wedding. Her network is invaluable. She will not only elevate every detail of the event but her soft, experienced touch will guide you through the planning process to realize the unique vision you have only imagined in your dreams. She delivered us a fairytale come to life that we could not be more proud to share with our guests! Danielle seamlessly wears many hats. She is tactful, organized, punctual, compassionate, knowledgeable, and both her work ethic and level of communication are second to none! The definition of professionalism. Perfectionism at its finest. She qualifies as a rare breed of obsessive; while I mean that in the most positive context you can appreciate. And appreciate her we do.. Besides these words, Danielle helped cultivate an impression that will last a lifetime and memories we will cherish forever through careful consideration of every detail - our every need and desire - and beyond! The gratitude we have in our hearts for what she helped us execute for our wedding day is only surpassed - just slightly - by the love we share for each other, which she simultaneously helped foster through her process. Trust me, as she gives you that one last gentle push forward - as you take your first unfamiliar steps into marriage - you will consider yourself so fortunate that you have had the pleasure of being one of her many, many satisfied clients..
