David, Donald, and Katie - are the absolute dream team. They handled every request and detail with grace and ease. On the day of, I didn't have a single worry because I knew I had the very best team working behind the scenes. I couldn't imagine my Nantucket wedding without the best wedding planners on Nantucket. Thank you for making my dream day come true!

Highly recommend Handy and Dallaire Events! I run a small non-profit on the island, and we have one major fundraiser a year. David and Donald executed the evening beautifully. The tent and decor was magical--they truly transformed the space into an "Animal Wonderland". And they're a pleasure to work with!

OMG – As FOB and MOB, don’t even know where to begin. If you are planning a wedding on Nantucket and are considering whether to use a wedding planner or not. The answer is simply yes and the event planner must be Handy & Dallaire Events. They handled every little detail with a professionalism rarely seen today and they do so in the background to make sure the wedding is perfect for the bride and her family. This includes helping with dinner reservations, package pickup and drop off and re arranging the beach planned ceremony within minutes during a sea squall hailstorm. As horrible as that sounds the bride loved her ceremony and wouldn’t have it any other way. This is a gigantic testament to the Handy & Dallaire team. On a scale of 1 to 10, we would rank them as a 15!!!

They Know How to Make a Dream Come True Our daughter and son-in-law were married on the beautiful island of Nantucket, with 5 days of celebratory events! We knew that there was only one group who would execute (all of) this tall ticket item to perfection and we were right! We worked with David, Donald & Katie for almost a year, pouring over details and requests from afar. Their vendor referrals were spot on; we had the best because we worked with the best. Our requests were sometimes unusual and most definitely detailed beyond the ordinary...yet they always found a way. We asked and the answer was ALWAYS "yes, we can make that happen". The communication was unparalleled. The immediate response time was unparalleled. Each one of them made the days leading up to the wedding FUN and EXCITING, making us feel that we were their top priority. We had all their cell phones and were told to call at any time. Each of them has a talent. Each of them performs their talent with perfection. When I walked into the reception, I gasped. It was BEYOND our wildest dreams...We had 200 guests for a black-tie wedding. All 200 guests were invited to the rehearsal Welcome Party at the Galley, to the afterparty at Cru and to our home for brunch. They were there every step of the way every single day.....It was seamless, smooth and went off without a hitch....all three wedding planners smiling along the way. This team is on top of their game! It was our privilege to have Handy & Dallaire Events as our wedding planners. They just know how to make a dream come true! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! With love.....MOB, Penny Lyons

David, Donald, and Katie, went above and beyond for my wedding. Every email was answered no matter what time and they really paid attention to the tiny details that I asked for to make my day special. They executed my vision perfectly despite Hurricane Dorian making their job and my sanity a little difficult. They were outside holding umbrellas for my guests as they entered my welcome party. They really make you feel like they care and want your day to go perfectly. Which I did, despite the worry. They were extremely respectful to my family during the planning process and really made me feel like I was important and listened to. I have zero regrets hiring them as my planner. In fact, it was the best decision I made in the planning process. Every vendor I spoke with said how much they loved working with this team. Couldn’t rave more about this team and what they do!

David, Donald and Katie were a dream to work with. From our first conversations and visits, I knew that together, we were going to make dreams come true. From discussing design and flowers to reviewing timelines, details, and the intricacies of family dynamics - this trio had us taken care of. As we neared the wedding day, my fiancé (now husband!) and I were so relaxed knowing that DMH Events was running the most important day of our lives. They brought all of our visions to life and most importantly took care of us and our guests from the minute everyone stepped foot on Nantucket on Friday until they left the island after our Sunday brunch. Their work is not only beautiful but also thoughtful, detail-oriented, and personal. We highly recommend DMH Events. We will miss working with them!
