Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to include every tradition on your wedding day. You and your partner can intentionally free up time in your wedding day timeline for more of the things you love instead of what you feel obligated to do. We're sharing 5 wedding day traditions or elements you can do at your rehearsal dinner or remove altogether over on the blog. Read it here: https://dantusandco.com/rehearsal-dinner/

Client ❤ makes us SO happy!

"We have no words to describe how grateful we were finding Courtney-Rose as our wedding planner. She had the challenge of bringing two big African cultures (Ethiopia and Liberia) together at our wedding. She did her research on both cultures and came prepared for our first meeting. She was very attentive, easy to work with, and professional. She respected our decisions and never put pressure on changing our visions. She had great connections and her recommended vendors were highly professional as she was herself. Her time management and attention for detail and our planned budget were very impressive. My husband and I traveled Internationally three different times during the 11 months, and she was able to communicate effectively, which made us trust her process even more. She made sure we felt heard; even though she had many other couples she needs to work with, she made us feel very special. Additionally, I was completing my school work during this process, and she made it a stress-free and positive experience. She made sure we were excited for every decision we had to make for our wedding. Courtney-Rose, we love you and the hard work you have put in on our special day. We are forever grateful! ❤️❤️"

P.S. We love you too!

A celebration of you and your partner's shared or diverse cultures. It's what we're all about. It was a joy to witness T + S's Liberian and Ethiopian cultures coming together during their wedding last fall.

Happy new year! It’s a new year and since there a few new faces around here, it’s only right that I give you a proper “hello!”

I’m Courtney-Rose, the founder of Dantus & Co. Events. I started this small, woman-owned and led business in 2014 with the intention of creating a truly inclusive planning company that celebrates what makes our couple’s and clients so wonderfully different.

In that time we’ve gone on to plan and execute countless weddings and have expanded our services into bespoke design, milestone events and offerings for corporate clients and entrepreneurs.

We dig deep to understand who are client’s are, the issues they care and what excites them and sets their heart on fire. No superficial fluff here.

So let’s get deep - tell me something about yourself in the comments!

Your wedding or event stationery should tell a story and set expectations for what your guests will experience on the day of your event. We know custom stationery is not everyone’s cup of tea - but we sure do love it when our client’s journey through the custom stationery process.

This bespoke invitation suite from celebrated L + A’s destination venue with a custom venue illustration. The paper was textured and slightly weathered to match the aesthetics of their centuries-old venue . The envelope liner was a drawing of a chateau they visited during their travels to France. We loved how personal and memorable these details were.

We’ve got three great reasons to share with you about why you should hire a wedding manager.

1. Your Wedding Manager takes the stress away on the big day - Your wedding manager can help you develop your wedding day timeline, confirm your vendors, guide and instruct your wedding party and manage all of the styling of your personal details and decor like es**rt cards, signage and more on the day of your wedding. Let us handle all of the little details that might otherwise stress you out.

2. Your Wedding Manager can offer insider knowledge and exposure to new ideas - You are spending hours scrolling Pinterest and TikTok for the most beautiful fresh wedding ideas. Invest in a wedding manager’s knowledge! This is what they do every day. Looking for last-minute vendor options, your wedding manager has the most brilliant ideas, and they will know the most amazing vendors and the services they provide to make everything happen according to your vision.

3. Your Wedding Manager is always prepared - There will always be those last minute details that pop up on the big day. Our team is ALWAYS prepared with a plan A & B.  This includes a well stocked emergency kit. At Dantus & Co. we alway have at least 3 sets of hands on wedding day to ensure we can jump in and help out as things arise. So, all you have to do is sit back and take in all of the moments.
