About Dani
Dani is the Founder and Chief Pun Officer at Quirky Event Planning. Quirky is based out of Fargo and serves the Minnesota and North Dakota area. After graduating from Concordia College in Moorhead, Dani entered the typical nine-to-five workforce. She knew from a young age she wanted to start her own business, she just didn’t know what the business would be about. Nevertheless, she persisted as her company’s event planner, but then covid hit. This left her questioning, “Now what? Is it time to find a new job?” She wondered if this was the time she’d waited for to pursue her dreams.
In the summer of 2020, Dani continued working full time as she began building Quirky Event Planning on the side. Fast forward to Spring 2021, she wanted to dedicate all her time to growing her business, so she took the leap and began pursuing her entrepreneurial dreams full-time. She explains, “It’s been a crazy ride, but that’s what being an entrepreneurship is all about, right?” There have been highs and lows along the way, but when one of Dani’s first clients trusted her in a time of urgency, she felt a sense of support and confidence she’d hoped for when choosing to pursue this career. With the highs have come some frustration, but she’s grateful for those moments of learning and growing.
