Tana Velen, Owner

Tana launched Day Of Wedding Nola & Events after spending nearly a decade planning and managing events professionally for nonprofits.

During that time, she saw many of her friends struggle in the days leading up to their weddings and noticed that too often, they would be buried under the weight of decisions yet to be made. Tana decided to use her events experience to help out and it wasn't long before the idea for Day Of Wedding Nola & Events was born. 

Weddings and special events are the times in life when people permit themselves to be happy for a few uninterrupted hours. Let us deal with the stress so you can spend every moment being IN the moment.

Tana is also driven by the value of giving back, especially since the New Orleans community has given so much to her. If you are part of a local nonprofit, ask us about our free event planning services.

When not event planning, Tana enjoys reading, writing, hiking, and having one-sided conversations with her two very agreeable dogs.
