Crowned By Dani

Crowned By Dani is a bridal business founded by Dani, with a Florida team and a Maryland team. The business has worked with more than 100 brides and has styled brides in five countries. It serves brides of all hair textures and skin tones, along with multicultural celebrations and multi-day events. Destination weddings are covered across the United States and in places including Guatemala, Argentina, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic, where travel, lodging, transport and per diem are quoted separately.

Hair is the center of every bridal experience, and makeup can be booked alongside it for a coordinated look. Touch-ups, second looks and extended hours can be added depending on availability. Clip-in extensions can be placed on the wedding day if needed, and extensions must arrive clean and fully dry. The Heirloom Experience also includes saree and dupatta draping and pinning. Pricing starts at $700 for the bride alone, $1,300 for the bride plus three, $2,000 for the Destination Experience with the bride plus three, and $3,500 for the bride and her mother.

The Suite operates as a private space for bridal parties and events rather than a standard salon. Rentals are billed by the hour: $475 for five hours or $675 for eight, with cleaning covered in the rate. The Bridal Morning package, priced at $800, provides up to eight hours of access. Brides are welcome to bring in their own licensed glam team. Also on site is The Memory Edit, an instant-print-style photo setup that comes with a scrapbook album. Each bride is given the Crowned Edit Guide, which helps with planning beauty services.

Inquiries receive a reply within 48 hours. Bridal previews are usually set about two to three months before the wedding, and many brides reserve their date six to twelve months ahead. The date is held once the agreement is signed and a 50% nonrefundable retainer is paid, and that retainer secures the date, time and artist availability. On-location bookings need a minimum of four people, final party counts and timing are due by the contract deadline, and early morning starts can be arranged.

The team also teaches. Masterclasses and one-on-one or group hairstyling classes are offered, including sessions in El Salvador and Maryland, and classes can be hosted at a salon on request.
