Welcome to Don & Dazzle!

Hi, I’m Baleigh!

Events, creativity, and a little bit of sparkle have always been a part of my life. From crafting my own wardrobe to planning over-the-top celebrations, I believe every moment—big or small—deserves a touch of magic.

Here’s what I believe when it comes to events.

💎 Budget doesn’t matter—taste does.
🎉 You should always throw the party, even if it’s simple. The memories are worth it.
🥂 You should actually enjoy the event you’re hosting.
💖 Money comes and goes, but the moments you don’t celebrate? You’ll regret those forever.


Don & Dazzle is my way of sharing that joy with you. Whether you’re planning an extravagant soirée or a simple get-together, I’m here to remind you: throw the party. You won’t regret it.

A Little Bit of Her-story

I started Don & Dazzle to reclaim the joy of event planning—both for myself and for others. After years of battling depression and the fear of being seen, I reconnected with the version of me who loves dressing up, getting creative, and bringing people together. Through healing and growth, I realized that planning events wasn’t just something I enjoyed—it was a way to celebrate life, even in the small moments.

My love for events runs deep. I grew up surrounded by party magic, from childhood afternoons spent helping at my family’s event business to taking a wedding planning course in college and working for Charleston Balloon Company. Over the years, I’ve styled events of all kinds, learning the ins and outs of design, logistics, and creating experiences people remember.

Don & Dazzle is the heart of all that experience and passion. Whether you’re hosting a chic cocktail party, an elaborate celebration, or an intimate gathering, I’m here to make it feel effortless and unforgettable. With a background rooted in creativity and a deep appreciation for meaningful details, I’ll help you throw the kind of event you’ll never regret saying yes to.
