We recently connected with Darrell Gambrell and have shared our conversation below.

Darrell, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

The best part about my mission is my story. I love that I possess a passion for making other’s vision come to life and helping them showcase their love to those closest to them.

When I meet couples and they express their love for one another, it allows me to open my mind and share beautiful creations I am able to devise. I get to use my natural gifts to be whimsical and make magic that will last forever. This will forever be the best day of their love story and they trust me to make it go in the most effortless way. I am so honored that they know I will bring that twinkle to the day and make sure they stay stress free.

I started this journey by watching and then helping my mother do this. I learned so much about people and how to relate to the most simple thoughts. When I started actually assisting my mother,I unlocked the things that were inside my spirit so I could branch out and perfect this craft.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

The most beautiful thing about being me is that I believe in simplicity to get very extravagant results. I love that I was exposed to the wedding industry and came to realize I’m meant to share my gift with others and make dreams come true. Watching my mother execute countless weddings was so special and not something you get to experience everyday. That alone is a gift that helped me unwrap what was lying inside my spirit. When I decided to open my business, I had to maintain discipline because it was during the pandemic. Not only was I faced with isolation, per the government, I was also limited with the resources I needed to make things happen “fast”. When you are confronted with that type of situation, you learn patience as well as what you have locked inside, which is much more extraordinary than you could ever imagine. I had to push myself through the limits I previously set for myself and I gained a lot of respect for what I learned I am made of.

I don’t just offer my clients a service that is a “quick fix”, I actually pour my heart and soul into the journey so it’s packaged with love. I don’t want them to ever worry or stress, so from the first day we connect, I make sure they know they can trust me to be efficient and protect their peace for a day that should not be centered around chaos or confusion. This should be the happiest day of their life, not one filled with pain or anxiety. Until the moment the last guest leaves the reception, I am fully available for everyone involved. I love spending time doing the little things that will add a small sparkle and put an exclamation point on the whole day.

There is no problem too big for me to handle. That’s why I love doing this because I’m equipped mentally to be the fence between any mishaps and the happy couple displaying their eternal happiness for everyone to see. It’s such a joy to feel the beauty of what was once just a thought yet now will leave a stamp on their lives until death do they part.

Any fun sales or marketing stories?

When I first launched my business, I never announced what my venture was but instead just posted my logo on social media. Although I had a social media presence before launching my business, that is one of the things that definitely helped me with connecting. Networking has always been a huge benefit for making sure I am recognized as a light with whatever I am doing in the world. I’ve learned, people can read and feel your energy with things you share on and offline. It’s so important to be genuine so others can be drawn to that. I always make sure I’m constantly sharing all my small wins so they lineup with huge successful moments. The small things is how I keep building to the next level so that’s why I believe in simplicity. You will always keep growing by maintaining consistency and I firmly believe it is one of the biggest keys for me to keep pushing forward on this journey. I’m not the only option for people with planning their wedding so I will remain unique with my personality and my loving personal touch. I make sure I give each person my undivided attention because I’m so blessed that I get to help make the day they dreamed of since they were 6 years old using a towel for a veil or making their dolls have a grand ceremony actually blossom into the most exciting day of their adult life. I’m so humbled each time someone chooses me to make sure my gifts will meet their highest expectation.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

Every avenue of engagement with others is always the best source for new clients. When I’m at networking events or when someone simply attends a wedding I orchestrated, each interaction has the same level of importance. Word of mouth is always the classic move but having my post shared across social media platforms is also the advancement of that without having to go door to door. I am always prepared to be available for consultations or execution of plans because you never know who is watching you or admiring your work.
