Atlas Event & Design was founded by Gabriela McDaniel in New York City, inspired by her passion for turning meaningful moments into extraordinary celebrations. What began with helping friends and family plan their weddings soon evolved into a career that brings together her background in fashion, media, and storytelling through design.
With years of experience alongside top planners and creative partners around the world, Gabriela now leads a team that specializes in destination weddings and design-forward events. From New York to Europe and beyond, Atlas creates celebrations that are elegant, intentional, and deeply personal, blending artistry, structure, and experience-driven design.
At the core of Gabriela’s philosophy is a belief that planning should feel joyful, not overwhelming. She approaches every wedding with warmth, clarity, and care, helping couples feel supported while shaping events that reflect who they are. Her calm presence, attention to detail, and focus on guest experience ensure that each Atlas celebration feels immersive, thoughtful, and effortless.
