It’s hard to capture how incredible the experience of working with Diana has been, but I will do my best!
During the design process, my husband and I wanted our wedding to celebrate our Chinese-American heritage, but also wanted it to feel elevated and unique. Diana turned this idea into a vision and a reality - she came up with using traditional Chinese landscape art (山水) as an inspiration that influenced our stationary (Chinese scrolls), our florals, and our decor. It was perfect!
Our wedding day also went absolutely PERFECTLY, but the true miracle is that as anxious as I am, I was never worried or stressed for even a second that day. Diana and her team managed literally every detail so well.
We are so, so grateful we chose to work with Diana and her team - she made our wedding a dream come true!
Diana was excellent at making sure everything was exactly as we envisoned and scheduled such that we didn't need to worry about forgetting anything. Then, everything on the day of went perfectly. Strongly recommend for couples that are looking for an expert with good recs for the planning phase. And as for the day of coordinator, there's a huge difference between needing to pay attention to a couple things versus being able to completely focus on the moment. Diana and her team made sure the event was seamless and we even got comments how well everything went from our guests.
Diana was an absolute pleasure to work with. Leading up to the wedding, Diana was always on top of it and it really showed on the night of the wedding. Everything went smoothly and we didn't have to think about ANYTHING besides having an amazing time. We are so thankful!
My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Diana to plan our 2023 wedding. From the beginning, we knew we needed a full service planner and designer since my husband and I are located on the West Coast. We met with three different wedding planners, but knew instantly we wanted to work with Diana since she was familiar with our venue, had a strong network of vendors, and had a portfolio with modern and creative designs. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Diana had been very accommodating with our timezone and work schedules. Our virtual meetings were often scheduled on weekends and Diana insisted on shipping many decor pieces directly to her house during the month of the wedding. During our vendor selection process, Diana was honest with her recommendations and ensured we hired vendors that were the best fit for our vision. Diana worked closely with all of the vendors to ensure our design proposal was executed accurately. On the day of the wedding, Diana was a true professional. She was on-point on directing the vendors for set-up while maintaining the wedding timeline.
Now that our wedding is over, my husband and I can confidently state that Diana’s forte is her creativity. Diana wanted our wedding design to stand-out from a typical wedding hosted at our venue; she did not try to transform our venue into something it’s not and instead proposed designs that elevated and modernized the space. The end results were beautiful. Diana literally delivered a wedding of our dreams.
The best wedding planner I found! Very accomodating and designs are above my expectations. Highly recommended to everyone planning a wedding.
We knew the instant we started the wedding planning process that we wanted a month-out coordinator, and to this day we tell everyone it was the best decision we made. The moment I first connected with Diana, I knew she was the coordinator for us. Frankly, I think I knew it already upon seeing her portfolio online, because I was looking for someone who could provide design and décor ideas, in addition to everything else. And from the beginning, Diana’s knowledge, professionalism, and warmth validated that she was the one we wanted to trust with making sure our day was everything we could hope for.
When first researching online who to work with for our wedding, I paid a lot of attention to the presentation of the business and working style, clarity of packages and pricing, and timeliness in response. Diana met all that I was looking for and then some. The information on her website is comprehensive, clear, and presented beautifully. There were no surprises from what I was able to learn online, to what we discussed in our 30-minute phone interview, to the final contract that we executed.
Diana created the entire wedding timeline after just two in-person sessions at the venue. She coordinated with all our vendors and took on all month-out communications, ensuring each deliverable from our contracts were met. Our venue’s day-of coordinator changed last-minute, and Diana was there to ensure a seamless transition. She listened to our wedding day goals and asked so many questions - which is a true sign of someone who wants to make sure they know exactly what you’re looking for. She gave great recommendations throughout the process, with multiple options and pricing considerations to help us stay on budget. She picked up décor from our apartment, dropped off welcome bags at hotels, and even met us for a final walkthrough at 10pm – her flexibility with and commitment to her clients is invaluable.
On our wedding day, she arrived with such a positive and relaxed energy – her Zen could ease any bride’s wedding jitters away. The day is a blur of course, but Diana was all around us, guiding us throughout the day in such seamless transitions that didn’t interrupt a second of the fun we were having as we flowed from one activity to the next. Her greatest work (and what likely took the most amount of her time) was the reception area. I cried when I first saw our reception – the room absolutely took my breath away and I couldn’t believe how beautifully it was set up, and how our vision came to life. There were so many special moments from that day, but the overwhelming feeling of pure joy and love that we felt in that moment is one I will never forget.
I could not recommend working with Diana more. Thank you for your warmth, kindness and of course for making every wish we had for our wedding come true!
Hiring Diana was and is the best decision my husband and I have ever made in planning our wedding. Since the moment we spoke on the phone Diana reassured me, a super type-A covid bride, that she would be there every step of the way and Diana did exactly just that. I must preface that we hired Diana for her Month of planner services, however, Diana was there by our side every single day and was essentially our full fledge wedding planner. She consulted with us on every decision we made and once our wedding day arrived, she made our day the most beautiful and happiest day of our lives. Her design eye and taste are incredible. As a designer myself, I couldn't even envision the world that she did but I'm so happy I trusted her because our wedding was an absolute dream. Diana will never lead you astray, she's extremely organized and cautious about any non-negotiables or financial restrictions you may have. I've never felt more at peace and confident in a vendor's hands than I did with Diana. Diana is dedicated, sweet, and talented. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her wealth of knowledge is irreplaceable. Diana's kindness and passion are extremely contagious, you find yourself actually enjoying wedding planning. From day one I never felt abandoned or lost in this process because Diana didn't only see our relationship as client-based, she truly did become a friend. Your concerns and worries are her concerns and worries and Diana will do everything in her power to accommodate and fix them. Her positive and can-do attitude is one to be admired and we truly can't put into words just how appreciative we were for having Diana as our vendor. What we can say is that if you can hire a planner, hire Diana. If you can only hire a month of, hire Diana. If you can only hire a single one-hour consultation, hire Diana. She is and will be the best financial decision you can make for your wedding. We truly love and appreciate Diana so much, and we're confident that you will as well.
