Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport has appointed Danae Johnsen as its wedding and event planner. With over a decade of luxury wedding planning experience in the Seattle area, Johnsen brings a wealth of expertise to couples hosting their weddings at the lakefront property.
Originally from Eastern Washington, Johnsen was drawn to wedding planning at an early age by the profound joy of creating personal and meaningful experiences that reflect the couple’s love story. She began her career over a decade ago serving as a wedding assistant for a local planner in the greater Seattle area where she began specializing in island weddings, private resident weddings, high-end luxury weddings in hotels, and Western Washington wine country.
Her career continued to grow as she joined the team at Perfectly Posh Events as a studio manager, later being promoted to senior associate event planner. Since then, she has spent countless hours planning and executing unforgettable weddings and high-end events.
In her current role at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington, she is responsible for working closely with couples through the planning and execution of their events to ensure a seamless wedding experience filled with moments they will cherish forever.
