About the Founder
Meet Danielle Marisa
Founder & Lead Wedding Planner, Danielle Marisa Weddings and Events
Danielle is an event planner and coordinator rooted in New Mexico. For more than a decade, she has coordinated weddings, corporate events, community events, and VIP parties across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos — but her focus has always stayed on full-service weddings and events, handling every logistic required to make the day stress-free, expertly designed, and genuinely memorable for the people living it.
What sets her approach apart isn't a signature aesthetic — it's the kind of local expertise that can only come from producing exceptional events season after season; working alongside the venues, trusted vendors, and communities that define New Mexico's wedding landscape. She knows which properties create an unforgettable guest experience, which caterers can execute an elevated reception in any setting, and how to seamlessly navigate the details, logistics, and unexpected moments that come with bringing a truly exceptional celebration to life.
Outside of work, Danielle is a dedicated mother and entrepreneur who is passionate about curating memorable experiences — a passion that shows up as much in how she runs a wedding day as in why she started this business in the first place.
