Danielle Parish Drake

Creative Director & President - Danielle Parish Drake Bridal

I was born in California and raised in Hawaii. I am the founder of Danielle Parish Drake Bridal and proprietor of The Garden of Aloha wedding venue on Oahu, Hawaii. As a dedicated wife, mother, and entrepreneur; I spearhead an Ethical Bridal line where 10% of our proceeds goes to support orphans in Zimbabwe and enrich the Wedding Industry culturally. I hold a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary and served as a Hospice Chaplain for 10 years. After ten years I decided to pursue a career in Fashion full-time.


Danielle for an inspiring exploration of transformation from pandemic introspection to bold entrepreneurship. Confronting uncertainty, she uncovered her true calling in fashion. Transitioning from hospice chaplaincy work to haute couture, she’ll share her “leap of faith” and “But God” moment (taking a risk or making a bold decision based on belief or trust rather than certainty), motivating you to trust your instincts, trust God, embrace your passions, and boldly pursue your dreams.

Danielle will reflect on her journey of faith, self-trust and passion-driven decision-making. Participants will engage in an interactive brainstorming exercise to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, paving the way toward their aspirations.

Attendees will gain practical skills to assess their strengths and weaknesses and articulate their passions. This clarity will empower them to pursue their chosen paths with confidence and purpose.
