Your wedding day is one of the happiest days of your life! The engagement begins a wonderful journey toward the rest of your life together.

There are so many little details that can totally overwhelm even the savviest of couples. Let us show you how a wedding planner can save you.... Time, Stress and budget.

Why Use a Wedding Planner?

By hiring a wedding planner, you get to make the decisions that mean the most to you while letting someone else worry about contracts, payments, set-up, schedules, details, and unforeseen issues. You'll spend your wedding day with your family and friends. All you have to worry about is being there on time and enjoying your wedding

Whether you want someone to help you with the design from start to finish, or just need someone to coordinate the details of the event you designed yourself, everyone needs some level of help on their wedding day.

Why Plan a Green Event?

Planning a green event takes a little more time and effort, but the rewards are great. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that you’'ve conserved resources, reduced landfill waste, and shown a commitment to preserving a sustainable quality of life for our community and our world.

When we say "GREEN", what do we mean?

Our Green/Organic Weddings and Events incorporate the practices of reducing waste, reusing products, and using recycled products. We consciously contribute to a more sustainable economy by buying fair trade/local goods and services, and we are mindful toward human rights and the environment.

By choosing The D-Tales, you are choosing a leader in green events. You can be proud of the fact that we will apply our green principles to your event, and take extra measures where it is most meaningful to you!

A little stewardship can save you a lot on energy and other costs... Green habits are not only good for the earth, but good for your wallet and your health!
