In our industry, it’s impossible to execute an incredible event without the help of other dynamic vendors. In our Vendor Features, we learn more about the people who we love to work with event after event, and year after year. Next up is Donielle Warren, owner of Elegant Planning & Design.
Donielle began working with Elegant Events as an intern in 2005. After graduating from college, she continued planning weddings and special events while working as a project manager for an insurance company. In 2015, Donielle purchased Elegant Events from the previous owner, who was preparing to retire. Since this time, she has fully re-branded the company and expanded their team of planners and designers.
I was able to sit down with Donielle to ask her a few questions… check it out!
