Meet Dana Ferreri, Owner, and Lead Planner

Dana Ferreri, the creative force behind Happy Hour Events, is a dedicated event planner with a genuine passion for making people's dreams come true. Here's a bit about Dana's journey and what drives her:
"I'm a total nerd for systems and organization, and I like to help people, but I never had the stomach for nursing. So, I help in my own way by navigating the event planning and production process to make life a little bit easier for my clients and fellow vendors."

Dana's career began in the world of beauty as a freelance makeup artist, where she worked with brides during the day. In the evenings, she managed events for restaurants, nightclubs, and off-premise catering companies. However, the allure of the beach and a slower pace of life drew her to Rehoboth Beach, where she found her true calling.

"After more than 25 years in the hospitality industry, I've managed countless events, taken care of hundreds of clients, and learned a whole lot about what it takes to make a great event happen. I combine a straightforward, laid-back attitude with an organized, fun approach to getting things done!"
