Chanda Daniels – Full Service Same Sex Wedding Planner | LGBT Elopement Packages

1999

You’ve never been interested in following societies rules for who you should love, what you should believe, and how your wedding should look. Your love story doesn’t fit into a box, so why should your wedding celebration?

I’m Chanda!

I’m the creative force behind Chanda Daniels. I’ve been planning and designing weddings in the Bay Area for as long as I can remember. I am proud to be a Oakland native who learned early on that a little passion and a lot of hard work will light the way to an amazing future.

I live and breathe my personal core values – Weddings Belong to Everyone. My friends and family will tell you that I lead with my heart, work from a desire to create, and advocate for love in all shapes and sizes.

There’s no better Saturday than a visit to my favorite breakfast spot for Ricotta pancakes, but only if you’ve let me sleep in! I’ll never turn down a massage and the best days end relaxing on the couch with my wife.

I’m never at a loss for unique inspiration. Spaces and experiences speak to me in different ways. I can’t just leave well enough alone. I’m constantly analyzing and re-creating what I experience into fresh and never before seen designs for my clients.

I’m determined but sweet. Unique but sophisticated. And I can’t wait to be written into one small page of your life’s legend.

I celebrate all love. Equally.

Full Service Planning & Designing

It all begins with you. There’s no pens to paper. There’s no rolodex. There’s no package to select. There’s only you and what you want.

– Craig, Groom

“Our wedding, to put simply, was perfect and this was because of A Monique Affair. Chanda and her team were able to help my now husband and I create a vision for our wedding that fit us as a couple. She then was able to find vendors that could execute that vision without any flaws. Finding good creative partners was especially important to us as we had already experienced some hesitation with other vendors when we explained that this would be an LGBT wedding. Chanda’s 20 years of experience helped us avoid any issues and we got to interview and work with only the best the Bay Area has to offer. Every vendor she recommended and we worked with was professional and a joy to work with. ”
– Regina, Bride

” We loved Chanda! She made everything so special for our wedding. We came in with some vague ideas and she provided a lot of support and ideas to make it all come together and look amazing. Our friends still talk about how fun our wedding was. We didn’t have long for the planning but Chanda made everything we wanted come together, we didn’t feel we had to compromise on anything, she just made it happen! And having her at our wedding (of course she was working and making everything run smoothly) felt like having another good friend at our special day. ”
– Malila, Bride

” Almost a year later we are still on cloud nine because of our wedding. If I had to describe it in 3 words I would say it was sacred, heartwarming and organic. Nothing about our wedding felt artificial or contrived. We kept what we liked about weddings and ditched what we did not. It was a joining together of 2 souls in the company of our loved ones. It was everything we dreamed it would be. Our wedding was featured on 2brides2be.com, gayweddings.com, whereloveisillegal.com and most recently upworthy.com! We had no idea our wedding would get this much attention (but we like it). We highly recommend Chanda and the A Monique Affair team! Best of luck with wedding planning! ”
– Lydia, Bride

“Life saver is an understatement….My wedding would not have happened with out A Monique Affair. From beginning to end every detail was handled. From concept to budget to conception Chanda was on top of everything. She took my vision, which was cloudy at best and brought clarity to it and produced a fantastic, on of a kind, memorable wedding and reception, including a bacon bar. If you are a fan of Scandal, Chanda is the Olivia Pope of wedding planners. EVERYTHING was handled. ”

From the moment we connect everything we do is a result of you. We begin the wedding planning and design process through an in-depth acquainting session. We talk like old friends who need to catch up. I learn all about the lifetime milestones that brought you to the day of your engagement. Together we make cohesive connections to your love story and the defining elements of your wedding.
