Covenant Weddings & Occasions

dding was perfect. Not sure of what vendors to select ask her, she works with the best everyone we used the product was perfect. Want a person with a great spirit and understanding reach out to Diane George and her team of professionals. I could go on and on but know it's money well spent, so choose Covenant Weddings & Occasions for your next event.

on the other side of the country. I knew I did not have the time or connections to plan this wedding on my own. I went with the best friend package and I can say Diane really does become your best friend during the process. I wish I had something to plan, just to have a reason to call her on a regular basis. Her connections and recommendations for vendors was the most invaluable thing she could offer. It really paid off to have someone on your side that has been in the business for as long as she has. The reason I chose Diane and Covenant Weddings is because I had never planned a wedding before and wanted to make sure that it went as close to perfect as possible. I was looking for someone who would be comfortable enough to tell me which idea I had was a good one or not. I trusted Diane would and could do that for me, which I appreciated. I did not want a "Yes" person. However, this is not to say that if you want something that a vendor is unwilling to negotiate, that you do not have the best advocate for you in your corner. I cannot say enough good things about the company and cannot give Diane enough thanks for making the process and most importantly my wedding day the best it could have been!

ng industry, initially, I was overwhelmed with ideas, decisions, vendor isssues, and money. Jackie was my voice of reason and kept me calm, always saying "we got you". While Diane knew how to orchestrate and make the plan work to perfection. These two ladies worked late hours and made themselves available whenever I needed them. I can't tell you how reassuring it was on the day to know they were in charge. My family and bridesmaids kept asking what they needed to do, and my response was "nothing CWO will take care of it"....and they did! Wedding day assistant Ciara, was awesome. I would see her out of the corner of my eye moving around ensuring everything was in order, and even acting as the heavy when she had to. It brings tears to my eyes to think of all that they did for me and my husband on our wedding day. Here's my interpretation of who Covenant Weddings and Occasions were to me during my wedding process: God sent his angels when it was time, he sent his angels to adorn and make beautiful my path of a straight line, they organized the room and the others who played a part, and prepared the way for me to walk to the man HE sent to care for me and my heart. So blessed and thankful for Covenant Weddings and Occasions

o life, the ceremony started on time and the event stayed on schedule, as promised. Covenant Weddings LLC is Best in Class and their expertise in invaluable to any bride. Because of my career, I enjoyed the level of reassurance I felt during the planning of my wedding. At no time did I feel as if something was going to be overlooked, forgotten or placed on the back burner. The advice, vendor contacts and added value of handling the mailing of my invites and collecting my responses, provided me an opportunity to focus on other aspects of the wedding and my day-to-day life. I am a very detailed driven individual and very particular- Diane George made it her goal to meet my expectations and ensured that every little detail would be addressed to the best of her ability. Providing me a monthly planning guide and wedding day timeline was the perfect tool for a person who has a busy lifestyle, this kept me on track and allowed me to plan for key decision in advance. Because she gave me her best, I feel that her service was top notch.

wedding from near and far. On top of that, we had a limited budget to devote towards hiring a planner. Diane was a dream come true. Before we even hired her, we knew that she was the perfect fit. We had a lot to accomplish in a limited amount of time, but her professionalism and expertise put us immediately at ease. We hired her for the Day-of Plus Package, and yet she did way more for us than we could afford to pay her for (seriously). She was an amazing help; she literally spoon-fed us every vendor we needed, all of whom were top notch. A few days before the wedding, I needed my wedding dress altered. Diane referred me to a fabulous seamstress that worked wonders within 24 hours. If I didn't trust Diane, I'm not sure I would have trusted a seamstress with my dress days before the Big Day. Needless to say, Diane's referral did not disappoint; in fact, all of the vendors we used were amazing and best of all, within our budget. I'm sure we gave Diane a few grey hairs during her time working with us, but she handled us with grace, compassion and professionalism. She is extremely organized and has a stellar reputation (rightfully so!). It was an absolute pleasure working with Diane and her team on our wedding day. We are so happy that we hired her. We wholeheartedly recommend Diane without reservation!

eceived was excellent. Diane has a wealth of information regarding etiquette and vendor support. She was also very supportive and attentive to my needs. My wedding day was absolutely beautiful and amazing! I highly recommend Diane G. and Covenant Weddings and Occasions!

d recommended Diane George but warned that her weddings were so extravagant, gorgeous, and elaborate that she might be way out of our price range. After just a few minutes over the phone with Diane, I knew I wanted her as my planner; she was clearly seasoned in her field, very professional, and super down to earth. I just didn't know if we'd be able to afford her services. After hearing all of the services she would provide with the best friend package, I could not believe how affordable it was! We booked her immediately, and it was the best decision we made in the entire wedding process. Diane was by my side every step of the way through the planning of my wedding. There was never a question I couldn't ask. She was always on time, organized, and professional when dealing with vendors. She was literally like a second mom to me throughout the process and I am so grateful for the caliber of service she provided. Needless to say, my wedding day was the best day of my life! It was a fairytale come true all thanks to Diane bringing our vision to life, connecting us with high quality and professional vendors, and coordinating my wedding day like a 007 James Bond mission. Throughout the process and even on wedding day, people could not believe how NOT stressed out I was, and I credit that to Diane. I never had those stressed out bridezilla moments throughout the process because she was right there, every step of the way, armed with the right answers at the right time. I cannot WAIT to get back my wedding photos and see the best day ever come to life all over again. You cannot lose with Covenant Weddings. Diane George is a phenomenal wedding planner, and I can't thank her enough for making our wedding dreams come true.

ke sure the day of went off without any problems. I don't know what I would have done without her. Great work from her and her team at Covenant Weddings.

and Covenant Weddings delivered. Diane George went above and beyond my expectations. Most of the other coordinators started 3 months prior to the wedding to coordinate with vendors, schedule and run rehearsal and then show up the day of the wedding, but not Diane. She was there with us every step of the way. She created a schedule of all the tasks that needed to be done for each month. This schedule kept me on track and kept me from feeling overwhelmed with trying to figure out what needed to be done or whether I had missed something important. Diane also created a budget breakdown for us based off of the budget we gave her and also offered ideas to help keep cost within our budget and she was always available to answer any questions I had. I also noticed that my venue was more accommodating after I brought in Diane. Stuff they had flat out told us no on, when Diane asked they were more flexible and willing to consider. She asked all the right question and not only reassuring to us but also to my vendors. Shortly after deciding on a Covenant Weddings, my husband and I realized that having Covenant Weddings and Diane, was one of the best purchases we could have made for our wedding! She is great at what she does and is very personable. Having the Covenant Weddings team assured me that no matter what happened the day of my wedding Diane would be able to handle it. Thank you Diane and Covenant Weddings for helping make my wedding planning process pleasurable and for helping to make my wedding day incredible!

, my then fiancé and I began working with Jackie and Janice. We got engaged in February 2015 and got married in October 2015. With the help, and guidance and suggestions of Jackie and Janice we were able to plan a beautiful wedding in less than 7 or more like 6 months. Jackie and Janice went above and beyond in many instances. For one, I was not happy with a mock-up appointment with one of my vendors so they contacted the vendor and arranged for a do-over and this time the presentation was beautiful and in line with my vision for the wedding. Jackie and Janice also were present for many appointments even though contractually, they didn’t have to be. During one of my appointments my mom turned to me and said, “I wasn’t sure about you getting a planner at first, but I am so happy that Jackie and Janice are here”. During appointments with some of the vendors it was great to have Jackie or Janice or both there to answer questions and to ask the right questions. We also had weekly teleconferences with Jackie and Janice which helped us get on track and/or stay on track. It was sort of like having an accountability partner other than my groom to make sure things were getting done. Like I said we had a little more than 6 months to plan the wedding. The day of my wedding, I forgot to put the garter on and left it at home. When I got to the church I told Janice what happened and by the time the reception started she had gotten me a replacement garter. I was so happy. I don’t think I conveyed it at the time. We also had a small wardrobe malfunction with one of the bridesmaids’ dresses and Jackie and Janice were able to help us get that fixed as well with some extra fabric given to me by my mother-in law. Don’t fear, the wedding and the reception went really well. We got compliments on how well the reception was run and how beautiful everything was. Family and friends said things like “top 5 wedding I’ve ever been to”, “I could feel the love”, and “I like the format and how things flowed”. We were so happy to hear that because our vision was for a romantic evening and for everyone to just simply enjoy themselves. One of my bridesmaids has a friend that is currently engaged and she even suggested Covenant Weddings to her because Jackie and Janice were organized and on point. I really enjoyed working with Jackie and Janice. I sincerely do not know what we would have done without them. I am glad the wedding planning is done and that I am now married to my wonderful husband but I have to admit I am going to miss Jackie and Janice.

its affiliates were for ourselves! We're so glad we did!! One the first day of meeting Diane George, we knew that we were in the right hands. She treated us with so much care and love, and made it a comfortable space for us to discuss our vision for our big day. She introduced us to Jackie and Janice, who were our additional wedding coordinators for the entire engagement period and wedding day. WOW! They exceeded our expectations. We didn't have to worry about anything during the planning stages because they had everything under control. They even went to a few of our appointments to make sure that we were getting what we needed to have our special day exactly the way we wanted. Jackie and Janice both worked so well together that it was a smooth process to talk to them on any of our concerns, budget changes, vendor questions, etc. They took care of us! One particular thing that I appreciated about Covenant Weddings is their thorough and effective form of communication. Emails and calls were a weekly way of communication. With our busy schedules, the emails, wedding checklists and weekly phone calls kept us organized and on track. When we needed more time to complete a task, they honored it. When we were confused about something in the planning stages, they calmed us down. When we didn't know how to address a concern, they had the right words to comfort us. Their communication and genuine care for us showed that they didn't just want to plan our wedding day, but they really wanted us to be pleased with the big day and all of the details that came together to make the day possible. It goes without saying that our wedding day was flawless and everyone had an amazing time. Over a month later, friends and family are still asking who planned our wedding, where did we find such professional and wonderful vendors, who helped us to put everything together. We will forever tell anyone we come in contact with that Covenant Weddings is where they should come to plan their wedding and other events!

Godly professionals. They were punctual, proficient, patient, and sensitive to the needs of the family and all the special guest. Bottom line… they represented the company very well! And I will be more than happy to recommend Covenant Wedding & Occasions, LLC to anyone in need of your services. Thanks for your service!

ue to some unfortunate circumstances , but Diane kept me calm and on task. She is someone that I respect and truly admire. The day of our wedding, she displayed an impeccable level of professional as well as her staff. No matter the wedding size or budget....book her!!! You will not be disappointed!

hey kept us all calm, especially my bride. For that, I'm eternally grateful! Diane is the absolute best at what she does.

the same. She and her team literally came in and made sure everything ran according to plan! I call her the "Olivia Pope" of wedding planning and her team "the gladiators". Set-backs, issues, problems...I knew of none because they handled everything! I couldn't imagine planning my wedding without her and her team. THEY ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!!

ted the day that we’d envisioned. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my wedding day! I am so glad that I found Diane and selected her as the planner for our wedding. Her knowledge of the industry and wedding etiquette was exactly what we needed.

married on June 7, 2014 at the beautiful Oxon Hill Manor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. She retained the wedding planning services of Covenant Weddings and Events owed and personally supervised by Diane George. We can share that everything organized by Diane was professionally and expertly handled from beginning to end almost a year before the wedding date to the very last minute of her celebration. Once the venue was chosen Diane recommended a caterer and florist, the two most important vendors. She prepared a timetable and the wedding day schedule for the bride and her wedding party. Diane left nothing unplanned and unrehearsed to the exact timing of deliveries and arrival of the photographer, DJ, caterer, florist and the exact moment the wedding was to begin. Diane’s gentle manner and patience and that of her associates were absolutely appreciated by everyone. When I said the wedding “celebrations” were doubly wonderful I meant just that! Having seen the outstanding professionalism of Diane and her Covenant Weddings team, my fiance and I approach Diane to see if she could work her magic and orchestrate our wedding on October 11, 2014, just four months after my daughter’s wedding. When she said her schedule was open, it was full steam ahead! Our wedding was just as skillfully planned and untaken as it was for my daughter’s wedding. Everything was lovely for our smaller more intimate wedding of 65. No detail was left undone. We receive the same special care by Diane. So whether it is a wedding of 150 or 50 you can be assured that Convenant Wedding and Events will demonstrate the highest quality of service and care. Janice Schiller

perience in the industry coupled with a very endearing personality. Diane was always available when I needed her and she made sure that things were done and done correctly! No matter what the situation, Diane was always the consummate professional. She made sure that my day was all that I desired and then some!

al trust and confidence in her. She was responsive, flexible, fun, thorough, and was a great advocate for me with my vendors. I would absolutely recommend Covenant Weddings for your event!

istants Janice and Jackie. J&J were my dream team! They were efficient, enthusiastic, and an absolute joy to work with. They made sure deadlines were met, and everything was in order so that all I had to do on my wedding day was relax and get married. They truly went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure my wedding was perfect, and it was. Several of my guests and wedding party noted that my wedding was one of the best they've attended and even my rehearsal "so well organized." I have no hesitation recommended Covenant weddings to friends and family. Wether you work with Diane, or The Dream team Jackie and Janice, your day will be amazing!

- You and your staff made the atmosphere feel like we were so far from home and in grand royalty. I know that the Vride, Groom, Family and Friends were above satisfied - no gliches at all on yesterday! Trust and believe, we will be talking about this until "death do us part". You are so awesome and well put together. I love your spirit and your love for people because I think regardless of your status or "craft" for what you do, if you don't have a genuine passion for people, your delivery will never come across as yours. I will always lift you in my prayers by name and thank GOD for you and your gift. You are part of the family for sure - WE ALL LOVE YOU DEARLY! I know that whenever anyone decides to have an event - you will be our chosen one.

h indebted to Diane for the next five or so years... She really is worth her weight in gold and I cannot begin to thank her enough! From the very first day I met at her office, I knew this was a good fit. Her attention to detail, superb knowledge of the area & industry, and sweet demeanor were just a few of the things that caught my eye. She is by far the nicest person I have ever met but at the same time... girl knows her stuff and she will not take no for an answer when it means getting something for her brides! She never treated me like a client- always more like a daughter. I hired her about 8 months prior to the wedding & she hit the ground running! We spoke on the phone at least 5 times a day in the beginning and closer to the end. She booked every one of my appointments, attended as many as I needed, and sent about 500 emails to various vendors making sure that everything was EXACTLY what I wanted. Another big deal for me was that she knew vendors in the DMV area & her references were spot on. Our venue, caterer, hair stylist, minister, makeup person, DJ, florist, and dress alterations were all referred to by Diane & each one was phenomenal. Everyone spoke very highly of her & knew that working with Diane means you better get it right! As we got closer to the day, she worked around the clock making sure every single tiny detail was planned to perfection. She was always accessible (at many hours of the day & night!) to help soothe my fears on even the dumbest things. Diane really is family to me now and I HIGHLY recommend her & her staff. They were professional, courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would not have had a wedding without the folks at Covenant Weddings & because of them our special day was perfect.

to choose my favorites, she made wonderful suggestions for wedding party gifts and reception favors, she helped me with the table decorations and so much more. I still have people who come up to me and my husband and say how much fun they had at our wedding. She helped us think of everything and took care of the details while we danced and enjoyed our guests. I'm so glad we found Diane and she was available for our wedding!

ase, it was a little less than 30 days. A friend of a friend mentioned I check out Covenant Weddings. After doing some research, I called Diane George (owner) and had a brief conversation with her. I had spoken to several wedding planners and I pretty much knew the indicators of speaking with an experienced planner. Diane was very familiar with all of my vendors and most importantly she was ready to hit the ground running..and that she did. She was very organized, poised, prompt, and attentive. On the day of my wedding, she and her staff were very kind and had everything under control. I felt confident that the event will run smoothly and that it did. It takes a lot to coordinate a wedding at the Corcoran Museum and St Matthew's Cathedral because it involves a lot of protocols and rules. Diane and her staff executed it perfectly. I will remain forever grateful!! I highly recommend their services.

lpful when certain vendors became problematic and unprofessional. However, as time progressed I began to feel neglected and that I was not much of a priority even with me having the "custom" package, which is one step down from full service. I found myself having to remind Mrs. Diane of meetings and repeat a lot of the details that were discussed with her, myself, and the vendors. I was a very hands-on bride and I believe this is why she may have begun to pay less and less attention to me and the details of our wedding. Mrs. Diane would show up late to every meeting whether it was a dress fitting, tastings, florist, final walk-through, and an hour late to our wedding rehearsal in which she gave the excuse of "I over slept" to myself and wedding party. In addition, I felt as though I was taking on more of the coordinator role due to lack of trust and communication received from Mrs. Diane (I did not meet any other members of Covenant Weddings until my wedding day). During my wedding planning; I would call and leave messages for her and I would not hear back from her for days or a week. However, when I did reach her; she would say "I'm sorry baby girl but I just wasn't feeling well and just needed to shut down, or I was working with this other bride." I would have totally understood if she would have just communicated with me instead of ignoring me and leaving me to believe that something had happened to her. Nevertheless, Mrs. Diane is a great person and I would always cherish that part of our relationship. However, I would think twice about selecting Mrs. Diane and Covenant Weddings as your wedding planner, especially if you're a hands-on bride. My husband and I felt a little short changed in the attention she gave to our wedding and details. I do not know if she had just taken on too many brides but it was a very stressful experience working with Mrs. Diane and Covenant Weddings, Inc. Best Regards, Andrea and Chauncey

nners. Not only did we agree on using Covenant Weddings, but my in-laws agreed-ed as well, it was unanimous(How often does that happen-LOL)? At the end of our initial meeting we knew, Diane and Covenant Weddings wasn't about the money, but providing us with a perfect wedding experience we'll always remember. Everything was perfect, even the weather in the middle of August(How did she do that)? She was never too busy to help us with everything and anything. Covenant Weddings made our once in a lifetime moment, our happily ever after as stress free as possible. Diane handled every situation calm and collective, which kept us calm and collective. Diane's years of experience is obvious when you speak with her and through her direction. We love Diane like a mom, sister, and best friend. All of Covenant Weddings vendors are top notch, it was hard to decide some days because they're all so good. We made the perfect choice with Covenant Weddings and anyone else looking to have a once in a lifetime experience should chose them as well. We can't say enough about the above and beyond service Covenant Weddings provided for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the patience, cooperation, commitment, and love you've shown us Diane and Covenant Weddings.

it was. It was the best day of my life and I want to do it all over again!

happy that Ms. George played such an important role in my wedding. I was so calm and I really enjoyed every minute of it Thanks Covenant Weddings.

pher, and videographer. Diane and I communicated on a daily basis via phone and/or email about my vision and how things were going especially since I lived 2 hours away from the Washington, D.C. area. There were times where I was emotionally and mentally stressed and overwhelmed just thinking about the wedding. My desire was to have my dream wedding executed and for everything to be perfect, and to run smoothly on my day and thats exactly what happened. As I stated previously, she's always there to listen by giving me her undivided attention and time as needed. I really felt that Diane made me feel like we were best of friends and she always supported me and my ideas which at times I would make changes to my vision along the way and she was very understanding and patient. Diane always told me that I deserve to get what I want because it's my day and I am the Bride.. With that said, I truly can say that Diane is a genius at what she does, and I have a best friend for life. I would certainly highly recommend Covenant Weddings for any Bride in the process of planning their special day. They are "THE BEST" in the industry. From a Groom perspective I will tell you that Diane will ensure that the Bride is happy every step of the way so that I could sleep at night and be stress free during the day. In addition, Diane assisted and coordinated a special surprise I had for my new Bride on our special day. She also met me 3 hours prior to the Wedding to assist me with selecting the a gift for my new Bride to open that day. Simply stated, "happy wife, happy life" which is appropriate if Covenant Weddings is planning your special day. Thanks Diane, we love you. Wayne and Katrina Pierce Sent from my iPad Mini

closely with me that I feel she is a member of the family. I highly recommend her and her team. You will not regret hiring Covenant Weddings!

tly what I wanted and Diane supported my vision and the event was intimate, unique, elegant, and classy. Her team showed up the day of the wedding and my day was flawless...I was soo relaxed. My guests are still raving about how on point my coordinator was...she kept all the wedding participants, guests, and vendors on time. When reading these reviews, please understand everyones expectations are different...I chose Diane based on her lengthy knowledge and connection to the industry - and she met my expectations which were high. She was a joy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

eat time. The staff at Covenant was amazing. They turned our school cafeteria into a ballroom. It was truly elegant. We were so excited about the work of Covenant that we hired them again for our Inaugural Ball the following January. Please understand that as a public school, funding is always an issue, however, we were so impressed with the work of Covenant that we stayed with them. I have attended other affairs done by Covenant and have experienced the same superior service. They are wonderful

ings and venue walk throughs. She was professional, and offered valuable feedback about planning the perfect event. She even offered valuable insight to me (and I plan meetings and events for a living)! She was absolutely awesome throughout the entire process. If you want a perfectly run wedding, Call Diane and the Covenant Weddings Team. You will not be sorry!

a customized budget and schedule. She also went above and beyond in resolving any issues with vendors and in accompanying me to vendor meetings. We always felt we were in capable hands and that she had our best interests in mind. She also introduced us to some wonderful vendors within our budget. The result was a fabulous event. People still remark about beautiful and well organized our wedding was.

immediately confident that she would be perfect to coordinate my wedding and I was correct.Talking to her made me very comfortable and at ease that everything would be alright.She was there for me at any moment with any question I ever had. She would even answer me when she was in important meetings just to say, I will call you back so I would not worry at any time during my planning. She was always professional and on time to any of our appointments together. One of the things I admired about her was that she was patient and non-judge mental.She let me be the wild crazy me w/o looking at me a certain way. She always let it be about me and assured me that my day would me fine and not to worry.The day of my wedding was very impressive.One of the best parts was everything was on time. My guest are still talking about it.Covenant Weddings took care of every detail precisely.I did not have to worry about anything. I felt like I was a princess and super-star. She was on top of everything. I recommend all brides to hire a coordinator cause it ran so smooth and it is very much needed. I have been to unorganized weddings and it did not look good.Words cannot express how fortunate I was finding her. She is worth every penny.My guest raved about Diane and her team. They look forward to getting married so they can use her. She is the best to me and I do not know how anyone can say something negative about her work.I love her and was very blessed.I am glad I found her on the knot.com as I did with some other vendors. I can not speak so highly of her work enough but you can check out my wedding highlights on Vimeo.com and search for Felicia and Linwood wedding.She did an excellent job and you will see how much fun we had. I used her vendors as well which I loved.She helped with every detail and even found the dancer. Check it out if you have any doubts or would like to see her work. Thanks a million Covenant Weddings and when I renew my vows I will be contacting you all!

s were professional, courteous, creative, timely and supremely superior. She also always delivered her services with a warm, sincere smile. Diane thinks and thought of everything. She has a varied and vast selection of vendors from which to choose and her personal and professional relationships with them helped ensure that we had a most perfect wedding day. Based on Diane's experiences and network of contacts, she makes the right recommendation based on your vision and your budget. Our wedding guests were impressed with Diane's execution the day of the wedding. Therefore, I highly recommend Covenent Weddings and Diane's newest venture, Covenent Occassions for your special event. If you use Diane's services, you will be glad you did!

ic was clear for me only minutes prior. She'd say, "Well, I know YOU'RE there already." I tend to be on time for appointments, yes. She tended to push off her own ideas for my wedding instead of providing suggestions and support. If I wasn't so adament about what I wanted, my wedding vision could easily have been lost in someone else's idea of what my wedding should have been. At the chapel just prior to my arrival, guests were being seated. One guest expressed to me Diane's disposition and demeanor and how she spoke to people and mandated certain things. She exclaimed, “Why are all these people standing out here?” The purpose was understood, but others could sense her tone was aggravation. That, in my opinion, is a problem. Diane allowed my photographer to control the entire wedding timeline. Our reception began an hour late because the photographer was in the reception room taking photos of the tables. Diane did nothing to prevent the photographer from delaying our reception, which was only 3 hours. She was, however, rude to the videographer and barked at her for taking my husband and me out for 3 minutes to get some shots in a small courtyard area, only steps away. Because of the photographer's delay, I had to cut out my father/daughter dance and rush through my reception events. I also found her talking and laughing with the photographer while viewing some of her photos instead of focusing on the task at hand. Our photographer also took us away from the reception for about 20 minutes to take additional photos. Again, Diane allowed the photographer to run the show. When we confronted her, she pretended as if she had no idea the disruption was a problem. The bride and groom's absence from their own reception is a major problem. At the end of the night, Diane went over to my mother to notify her that her limo had arrived to take her home. Diane told my mother to hurry up and get up because her limo was outside. She was extremely rude and abrasive. Finally, I went around to the vendors and told them how much I enjoyed working with them and thanked them for their hard work. Diane stood nearby with a scowl on her face and interrupted the conversation with, "I'm waiting for you to say something about ME." Again, she was extremely rude and disrespectful. After our wedding, I learned from the videographer that Diane asked to use the footage from my wedding for her website. I find this interesting seeing that she did not ask if that was okay with me or my husband. I'm also concerned that she will advertise my wedding and the decor as her work, when in actuality, I hand-picked every detail myself. She merely did what I told her. Overall, she isn't any better than any other coordinator in the area, in spite of her rankings on www.theknot.com. Her attitude throughout the wedding process and the day of ended up overshadowing anything good she'd done. Unfortunately, I heard about her negative reputation after the wedding was over. I'm not convinced that she personally cared about me or my husband, but rather wanted to ensure the wedding's success for her own benefit. I cannot in good faith recommend her to anyone.
