Legacy Event Planning Logo

1) What is the exact name you would like in your logo?
"Occasions" is company name with "Event Planning" somewhere as well. We are in between whether or not the final name will be "Occasions By D&M" so if it would be possible to include a version with that as well that would be greatly appreciated.
2) What is your website address (ex: http:/site .com/; Site Name)?
No current website.
3) Description of your website or business:
We have over twenty years of event planning experience whether it be weddings, birthday parties, fundraising events, bar crawls etc.

4) Search the Internet for any logos/designs on the web that you feel convey
the style you are looking for?
While we our very creative when it comes to events and the day of...when it comes to branding and logo's we are a bit lost. We are truly open to anything your great minds can come up with. Here are a few that caught are eye. We do like the script font for the word "Occasions", however, we are unsure if that would immediately make us seem more like a Wedding Planner instead of all special events.
