As a professional event planner, wedding officiant, and minister since 2012, I can officiate your wedding and help you find & manage fairly priced & professional wedding vendors. Catering, musicians, DJ's, decor, day of coordinators, and all things wedding and event planning is my specialty.
I offer choices from my team of professionals and then coordinate your vendors so that your special day and any worries are in my hands, not yours.

REVIEWS
"Rev. Donna officiated our ceremony, graciously offering her home in Gulf Shores as the venue. The vows she chose for us were so meaningful and her attention to making us feel welcomed and at ease was perfect. We had actually asked for just a quick "stock" ceremony reading and what we got was personal and special. Be both cried tears of joy!
Thank you, Rev. Donna, for realizing how special this day was to us."

I am a seminary trained, licensed and ordained Unity minister with permission to practice in all US states and in Europe.
My experience as an event concierge is diverse and far-reaching. I have designed events for weddings, receptions, children's parties, elder teas and parties, church events, fundraisers, and funerals for over two decades. I have worked for private groups and public organizations from the South to the Midwest. I'm was born in NYC, I was raised in Charleston, SC and spent most of my adult years in Atlanta, GA. My home at present is in Gulf Shores, AL. I guess it's fair to say my Southern roots run wide and deep. I'm blessed to have that touch of sophistication and sass that I can bring to your events without being stuffy. I love to make people feel at home wherever they are!
