Working with Dani was a gift to our organization as we planned our first ever annual fundraiser. We not only met our fundraising goals, but, with Dani's advice in mind, we were able to craft an event with effective messaging, enjoyable atmosphere, and a sense of community. We highly recommend Dani to organizations that are putting together their first fundraiser, or organizations that are looking to improve on their past fundraising efforts. Dani works to fully understand and buy into the mission of the organization she is working with. Her expertise, tenacity and follow through are all incredibly helpful when you are in the middle of planning a potentially very stressful event.

We were THRILLED with Dani. I have heard countless comments from guests, board and staff about what a tremendous asset she was for our event. This event had a lot of hurdles to overcome and Dani absolutely made the process easier from all angles. She supported me with advice throughout the planning process and was instrumental in making the evening successful. Her flexibility during the event was key. I can't wait to work with Dani in the future and I know Mi Casa will be counting on her talent for years to come.

Liver Health Connection thoroughly enjoyed working with Dani. Her suggestions about our auction items were smart – we cut back on our items and made the remaining items bigger, which resulted in higher bids for all of them. She was fun, engaging, and thought on her feet during the live auction portion. The games she recommended kept everyone’s attention. And, I heard many comments throughout the night and afterward that she was a great auctioneer. Thank you for helping our small nonprofit achieve higher donations from our event. We can’t wait to work with Dani again!

We received a lot of positive feedback about Dani and what a great job she did keeping the audience engaged and moving the program along. I thought Dani did a great job of handling ‘unplanned’ items very well and smoothly.

You cannot go wrong with the lovely Dani Espinosa leading the way to raise funds for your organization. We were in awe of her heart and her talent. She left no dollar on the table with her strategic fundraising and her heart centered approach to raising funds. The BEST decision I made was hiring Dani Espinosa.

In an industry full of hit-or-miss auctioneers, Dani Espinosa stands out as a true professional and driven auctioneer that goes above and beyond to get the most out of your event. She motivates guests and truly knows how to read a crowd; she is well-spoken, knowing when and how to transition between auction items and has an overall fun and inviting presence. Dani, unlike many auctioneers, dedicates time to listen to her client’s concerns and priorities, ensuring a flawless event. We have had Dani auctioneer for more than one event and she has never let us down. Thank you, Dani!

It was such a pleasure working with Dani during the annual “Fiesta on the Plaza” gala benefitting Clínica Tepeyac! Her professionalism and deep knowledge of the industry was vital in helping raise funds. We benefitted not just from her actions on-stage during the event, but also the thoughtful coaching she provided throughout the planning process. Dani would be a great addition to any non-profit who is ready to reach their guests in a new and refreshing way.

Dani is exceptional—an absolute force of energy, professionalism, and purpose.

We had the pleasure of working with Dani as our auctioneer for our annual Building Futures fundraiser on May 20, 2025, in support of Law School… Yes We Can (LSYWC). From the moment she took the stage, Dani captivated the room—not just with her commanding presence and seamless pacing, but with a deep understanding of our mission and the community we serve. Her ability to blend heartfelt storytelling with high-impact fundraising strategy resulted in one of our most successful paddle raises to date.

Dani connected authentically with our audience, inspired generosity, and elevated our event far beyond expectations. She championed our Fellows, articulated the importance of our LSAT prep support, and moved donors to take action with poise and purpose. The feedback from our guests, board members, and sponsors has been overwhelmingly positive.

We are incredibly grateful to Dani for being a partner in our work. Dani is the best in the business!!

Thank you to Dani and her team.

Dani is a true gem of an auctioneer! She's funny, engaging, and brings such incredible energy to the room. From start to finish, she kept the crowd captivated and entertained—never once making anyone feel pressured to give, yet still inspiring generosity in the most natural way. Her ability to read the room and keep things moving with ease and humor is a rare gift. I will absolutely hire her again next year—she’s just that fabulous!

I have served on the committee for our school's Celebration & Auction for the past three years, and during this time, Dani has been our Auctioneer & Emcee. We have been absolutely thrilled with her performance each time!
Dani keeps the audience engaged and entertained, seamlessly transitioning between announcing game winners, the Live Auction, and our Paddle Raise. She maintains a joyful atmosphere while encouraging spirited bidding. Her ability to connect with the audience and deliver a smooth, well-paced event is remarkable.
Overall, Dani has exceeded our expectations and played a crucial role in making each celebration a memorable and successful event. I highly recommend her and her team's services for any event needing a talented and professional team. So, if you’re looking for someone who consistently brings a dynamic and enthusiastic approach to auctions, hire

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Dani, as both our auctioneer and MC, for our recent fundraising event supporting education, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Thanks to her exceptional skills and infectious energy, we raised over $50,000 during the paddle raise.
What truly sets Dani apart is her professionalism and collaborative spirit. Having worked together previously, she was open to feedback and minor adjustments during the planning phase, which she implemented flawlessly. This level of adaptability and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and made a big difference on the night of the event.

If you're looking for someone who can elevate your fundraising event to the next level, we highly recommend Dani. We are beyond grateful for her partnership and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Dani is an excellent collaborator who brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the planning table. She helped us put on a fantastic fundraising event and brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the stage for our paddle raise. We would love to work with her again!

I wanted to reach out and send you a HUGE thank you from the SustainEd Farms team. Your time, support and guidance was extremely beneficial for our event and we were able to surpass our goal and raise ~$8,600! We truly could not have done it without you, especially with the paddle raiser. It was all a new experience for us and we were able to have great success thanks to you. You did not have to take time out of your busy schedule to help us out but it is greatly appreciated! We are now making plans of how to allocate our funds for new curriculum development, educational programming and scholarships for our summer camp. We are so grateful to have the resources to continue to expand our work! 

Dani is energetic, thoughtful and a general joy to work with. Working with her truly feels like a perfect customer service experience. She is earnest in her desire to make your event the best it can be. She took the time and energy needed to really understand our mission, our supporters, and our layout. She answered every email and call promptly, and her general expertise in the areas of event planning and auctions was incredibly beneficial. She would brainstorm with our team, and I truly felt like she was giving everything she had to make the event a success. On the night of the event she was professional and approachable at the same time. She did an incredible job on our live auction and paddle raise, keeping the energy high and the patrons interested. We raised a ton of money! I honestly have nothing but positive feedback for the entire experience. Dani is so good at understanding the needs of her clients, the event, and the patrons that I could see her working with anyone. She is very relatable to men, women, and any business sector I can think of
