Wendy Dahl, Chief Inspiration Officer

Since 1994, Wendy Dahl has been helping brides and grooms create their vision of the perfect wedding day. Every detail is thoughtfully attended to and incorporated into the overall plan for the big day. From fashions to flowers, photographs to favors, catering to entertainment, – and even the cake – each couple’s distinctive taste and style are infused into the planning and beautifully reflected in the big day’s festivities.

Combining her designer’s flair for creativity, style and sophistication along with her eye for detail, Wendy has worked with couples from around the globe to create a unique celebratory experience that fits each couple perfectly. Each event is as distinctive and matchless as the couple being married. As Wendy says, “There are never two weddings the same…and that’s the way it should be.”

With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Organizational Leadership from Chapman University, Wendy worked in corporate marketing before turning full time to her passion of event planning. After recognizing her passion for creating perfect experiences, Wendy turned her specialty focus to wedding consulting. Starting out as an independent wedding planner, she immersed herself in every aspect of the industry, learning from the best in the business before starting her own firm, Dahl Wedding Company in 2004. In addition to her expertise in the wedding industry, Wendy utilized her education and experience in Organizational Leadership and Marketing to assist corporations and organizations in meeting their communication objectives through live marketing experiences. The rest, as they say is history.

She’s earned the trust of her clients as well as her colleagues in the industry. She is a certified Professional Bridal Consultant by the Association of Bridal Consultants as well as a Certified Beverly Clark Wedding Professional. She serves as the Director of Marketing of the Wedding Industry Professionals Association (WIPA) and has been Co-Director of the ABC- Orange County, President of the Orange County Chapter of ISES (International Special Event Society) and is a longtime member of the Palm Springs Wedding & Event Professionals (PSWEP). She has completed the Meeting and Events Management program at Orange Coast College, where she now teaches in the program. Her education combined with many years of experience make Wendy a wealth of knowledge and a trusted resource that both her clients and other industry professionals have come to rely on.

Her work has been featured in wedding publications such as Ceremony magazine, BrideAndBloom.com and in 2007 and 2010; she was honored with the designation of Best Wedding Coordinator in Orange County by The Knot and most recently the 2011 Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire.com.

Ultimately, though it is the position of Chief Inspiration Officer at Chic Productions that keeps Wendy motivated enabling her to offer strategic guidance, individual creativity, and experienced wisdom to every client she partners with. As it has been said, “Her work truly lives beyond the latest trend.”
