Knots and Belles

lways able to communicate with me and had scheduled conference calls. A HUGE appreciation I have for Diana is that she made an almost disaster (possible shutting down of my wedding) come to a peaceful ending and saving my wedding. Especially without any of the guests knowing and didn’t let it ruin the night. So so grateful, I can not recommend Diana and her team enough! Even my husband agreed that hiring Knots and Belles was the best decision we made while planning our wedding.

g to make sure it went smoothly. Not only did she help us plan and coordinate but she also did our floral decor. The best decision you can make during your wedding planning is to hire Diana, she will make the planning so much easier. Thank you Diana!

about logistics and how the day would go and wondered on things like if I have 100 guests do I order extra water glasses? (She’s was truly a saint taking the time to talk me through all of it) I had only attended one wedding in my life and I just felt like I was taking a shot in the dark with so many things. She simplified everything for me and made it so easy to navigate (while I still tightly held her hand the whole time because she was an amazing support system). Diana is attentive, organized, and she made sure we did check in calls along the whole process. When I needed an enforcer to deal with vendors that weren’t as organized as her, she stepped in so I wouldn’t have to and I never had to worry because she would reassure me it would all be taken care of. Diana made our day a breeze and I felt like I was able to relax and enjoy it. Many guests couldn't believe how calm I was all day, and it's thanks to her !

cial. The planning process was made easy and my stress levels were well managed at the end when stress levels creep up. I’d do this with her over and over again if I could. She really brought my dreams to reality.

mmended her trusted vendor partners and took over with the final details. Especially since we were flying to California from the east coast, Diana was able to coordinate decorations, hotel recommendations, and final design decisions. Thank you Diana for guiding us through a wonderful wedding weekend!

entals, and she personally handled all of our flowers including the bouquet, arch, and all of our centerpieces. She stayed true to our vision, and Pintrest board, and executed it flawlessly. Even before the wedding day Diana personally talked to the chef handling our catering to make sure that our guests with allergies were taken care of. She also provided thoughtful guidance on how to create a comfortable experience for our guests at an outdoor venue in the middle of summer. Diana and her team made our big day run smoothly and we cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work!

eek after we booked our wedding venue and Diana as our coordinator, we found out I was pregnant and a month later my husband received orders to move out of state for 6 months. Diana was incredibly patient, reassuring, and understanding of our extremely complex situation. She helped us plan across time zones and simplified the whole process. We went on to have the most beautiful and fun wedding celebration mostly due to the vendors she recommended. I was in awe of the way she and her staff orchestrated the day and handled any issues that arose (all of which were our own fault) with such ease. Bonus--her decor recommendations, vendors, and generously creating my bouquet all kept us within budget. She is the best of the best and I am so glad we chose her to work with us on our special day.

us find our amazing florist and made everything way less stressful. Our wedding day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks so much for making it such an incredible experience!

ning our dream wedding, but Diana reassured us that she'd guide us through the process. She also has many connections to trustworthy vendors that have all mentioned great things about her. That's when you know she is the real deal! On the day of the wedding, she made sure that everything ran smoothly with clear communication and direction. She also made sure we did not feel overwhelmed or distracted from enjoying our special day. Our wedding will always be a day to remember, and we can't thank her enough for making our dream wedding come to reality.

ing Diana’s help in planning our California destination wedding. Diana recommended so many other great vendors and really worked with our budget to help find the best team of vendors for us which was one of the toughest parts of planning a destination wedding. She was responsive through text whenever I had any questions during the entire planning process. She was amazing on wedding day and handled everything beautifully! THANK YOU for your all your hard work and helping our visions and dreams come to life on wedding day!

na is well connected with vendors and her experience shows in just how smoothly everything went throughout the entire time we worked together. She is easy to contact and kept my husband and I on track. Diana even took the extra time to go to the flower market with me and she created my bouquet and all the other bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, and other floral arrangements which gave my wedding an extra personal touch. I got so many compliments on how beautiful the flowers were. I would highly recommend working with Diana on your wedding or next event!

ding planners / wedding coordinators due to her expertise for our venue, her ability to work within a budget and her creative input helping us design the best ceremony possible; we couldn't have done this without her. Diana has an amazing list of resources when it comes to vendors which made it much easier for us to plan a very DIY wedding. Also, Diana has a great relationship with an impressive list of wedding venues which helped us lock down our spot on the beaches of San Clemente. Diana and her staff are top notch and the vendors she introduced us to did not disappoint. We've been married for a week now and our friends and family cannot stop complimenting how beautiful and fun our wedding was, I cannot suggest Knots and Belles for your upcoming wedding enough. Thank you Diana for all your help!

t and I work in a hospital) . We were a really chaotic couple to work with due to our unpredictability and distance but Diana accommodated for us and was an absolute pleasure to talk to and plan with. She really helped me (bride) stay calm and plan from thousands of miles away. She broke the planning down into realistic and attainable steps, which made wedding planning feel a lot less stressful. Diana also provided AMAZING vendor recommendations when we didn't know where or how to look for them. She helped rally them all together, created a beautifully detailed timeline, and worked with all of them on the wedding day to ensure that our day was as magical as it could be. She knew what our priorities were as a couple (food and photos) and made sure that the wedding day reflected that as well. Several things went wrong on the wedding day as well but Diana remained flexible, took charge, and helped fix whatever needed fixing. Diana is: - responsive and communicative - creative and will help you bring your vision to life - adaptable and accommodating - detail-oriented - honest (will tell you if something is/is not worth it) - someone who will keep checking in on you and guide you so you're never truly lost and alone - experienced and knows how to fix things before things go wrong . This is cheesy but Diana really is a wedding fairy godmother. We HIGHLY recommend her and will continue to do so once our friends start to get married as well <3

support and great recs for other vendors. She broke down the planning process into very reasonable, attainable goals and provided templates for us to use, making the planning process much less stressful. She was very mindful of our budget, very communicative, and so resourceful on the wedding day- styling everything to perfection!! Diana did such a great job wrangling our vendors and we were extremely happy with all of them on the wedding day. We had some difficult vendors (the band) but she protected us from their drama. Diana truly goes above and beyond for her clients and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for helping us have the best day ever! She was the best at putting all our ideas together in a way that was better than we ever could have imagined— our detail shots were all her :) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diana and her team for your wedding or any other special event.

process, she took my chaotic Pinterest inpos, sorted it into a PowerPoint presentation, and transformed it into a ✨vision✨ Closer to my wedding date, there was an extensive checklist that needs to be filled out. It just goes to show her commitment, attention to details, and how organized she is. During d-day, her assistant wasn’t able to make it, did all the work by herself and still gave 200%!!! I was very very happy with how everything turned out. Plus point: she has her own decors, so it just felt very efficient for me not having to worry about a rental vendor. She genuinely care for her customer and I might hv found a life-long friend 💗 I would strongly encourage any bride to book her.

really understanding, and we kept communicating throughout the past 2 years. She always asked for updates to make sure I was on track. I thought I would be able to plan on my own since I had 2 years, but I was extremely busy with work. I hired some main vendors, but I didn't have time to look into other vendors or plan designs/decor or put things together. Diana would always follow up, and was patient even though I had a busy work schedule. A few months before the wedding, I asked Diana to help me with the rest of the planning because I just didn't have time anymore. She was really understanding and took care of everything else I needed to do and whatever was necessary. I was on a budget, and wanted something pretty but simple. Diana was helpful and honest, and recommended what I needed or didn't need in order to stay in a budget. She recommended any remaining vendors that I needed and took care of all communication to the vendors and put everything together for the wedding day. She always helped communicate with the venue, because they were in construction for a really long time. I let her handle all the decor and designing of the ceremony and reception, because I didn't have time and I was happy with how everything turned out. I used to be really stressed out every day trying to plan for the wedding when I was working 40+ hours a week, but once I asked Diana to help take over, I became stress free and I was able to enjoy the day. I highly recommend Diana to other couples who need a wedding planner. She's great, kind, very helpful, very understanding, and knowledgeable.

wedding in two languages from across the county (we live in Boston but got married in Malibu) and Diana Belle was an angel to work with. Not only was she super knowledgeable about vendors and timelines and logistics, but she also has amazing style and taste. Because we were flying cross country, I didn’t want to bring a ton of wedding decor with us, but she has an amazing decor package that covered everything we needed. Everyone raved about how beautiful our wedding was and it was all thanks to our fairy godmother Diana. Also she saved us quite a few times during the wedding itself and kept me incredibly calm. I only heard small rumblings of things happening but Diana took care of it all and I had an amazing time at my wedding. I couldn’t rave highly enough about her! If you’re a bride reading this and you’re a research fanatic like me, I highly recommend you give her a call. She will blow your mind!

R IN THE WORLD?! From the moment I found her I knewwwwwww she was the right one. Like a typical guy, my husband had decided that we did not need a wedding planner. He was sure we could do it on our own (Umm yeah no). Previous to finding Diana, we had spoken with 5 other planners. 3 Ghosted us, the fourth was planning on doing one other wedding on our day and the 5th was out of our price range. Let me save you all the hassle now and tell you to HIRE DIANA NOW!!!! After our first email exchange we set up a Zoom meeting the next day and we were sold. She understood the vision. We hired her 1 years and 5 months from our wedding. Throughout the whole process she truly was our fairy godmother. She was always a quick text away. It was not at all a client/vendor relationship, she really is a friend and advocates for you. She has so many connections and she does her best to find what’s best for you. All of this instilled a confidence in me. She really does have the best ideas. Wedding day came around and I really let go!!! She had a conversation with me the week of the wedding to remind me to really enjoy my day. The day of my wedding something clicked in my head, I was marrying my best friend and a new chapter was starting for me. I’m a total type A person, but for that day I left it all to Diana and it really was the best day of my life. When I say she “got it” I mean she TRULY got it! The ceremony started promptly and may I say we were ahead of schedule the WHOLE day?! When do you hear that about weddings?! I also want to add that her assistant Laura is such a sweetheart. She came to introduce herself to me and gave me a quick rundown to remind me to just enjoy my day. It was during our first dance that I looked past my husband and we both looked into our reception and saw the flickering candles and all of the details Diana and Laura put all over our venue and we just started balling our eyes out. It was such a dream. There was no issue that I had to resolve, they took care of everything. I am so thankful to Diana and Laura. They truly went above and beyond. She is who you NEED during the process and day of, not a vendor but a friend. Thank you Diana, I am literally indebted to you for life.

care of her couple and the vendors very well! I’d highly recommend her as a wedding photographer myself!!

it. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She knew exactly how to execute my vision, she’s a mind reader!! Anything I asked of her on my day was done. It was just so amazing to have her as my day of coordinator! But honestly she’s more then that. She did so much for us leading up to the big day! Don’t hesitate and book her. You’ll have no regrets. She’s worth every penny & more. She’s sweet, professional, and overall easy to communicate with. We had to deal with a delay by 2 years for our wedding, we originally booked her in 2019. During our rescheduling she was still in communication and honestly always answers texts/emails. We had an amazing experience working with her & I would recommend her to anyone!

the Covid-19 pandemic. Once it was made clear that things had to be postponed for the following year, Diana stood by us and helped us stay calm through it all. She was always professional, but through these tough times she really became a friend. She kept me updated with new Covid-19 regulations regarding gatherings and what that meant for our wedding all while making sure we were still on track for the following year. When you book Knots and Belles, you are provided with information and resources including an online packet made up of spreadsheets that will keep your "To Do's" on track. This includes, but not limited to, budgeting, guest list tracking, vendor tracking, gallery of her own rental furniture etc. SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR VENDORS FOR YOU!!!-- you heard that right-- you just need to find what vendors you want, book them, and Diana will handle the back and forth and organize a united front. She will be their point of contact leading up to the wedding and on the actual wedding day. NOBODY should have a reason to BOTHER YOU THE DAY OF!! She and her assistant Laura are amazing at organizing everyone-- it is as if they build an army for you, and all you have to do is share your vision and attend your wedding and HAVE FUN! Lastly, Diana comes with several great vendor recommendations for any budget. She respects your budget and will make sure you stick by it by helping prioritize what is most important and weed out the unnecessary. Budget was very important to us, we understand that they are a huge expense, but hiring Diana was definitely an investment that payed off. We love her and her assistant, Laura. They are an amazing team. Thank you for everything Knots and Belles! WE will never stop recommending you to future couples!

very first phone call with Diana we knew we had to work with her! She was always very responsive, from any questions I had, to recommending vendors, to even finding a backup makeup artist 3 days before my wedding (since my original one cancelled on me)!! The day of the wedding her and her team were on top of everything and made sure everything was taken care of and on time. My main reason for having someone to help coordinator the day of the wedding was so my parents and in laws did not have to worry about anything and could enjoy the day, Diana made sure it was that way & for that I am extremely thankful!!

s: no photographer, no DJ, exchanging ring pops, goofy picture cake toppers, and the list goes on. She took them in stride and made it happen! Diana will have your back!

essful. I hired Diana as a day of coordinator, but she was great at periodically checking in with me throughout the summer, giving me local updates on restrictions (I was out of state) and keeping the planning fun! As we got closer to the date, Diana was an awesome source of guidance. Highly recommend everyone get at a least a day of coordinator who will wrangle your vendors and be able to talk specifics with the venue when you're just exhausted- but especially Diana who is awesome! She was especially exceptional at the rehearsal walk through! We were done so quick and our bridal party were def the chatty type. All the tables and decor for the reception were better that I envisioned and I could not have done it without Diana. Finally we were on time (even early)!! For everything! When does that ever happen at a wedding?! Thank you Diana for making our day so effortless.

ordinator. She was always available to talk about the wedding, and made the planning process as stress free as possible. She was truly invested in making our day everything we could imagine. Our original venue was shut down pre-Covid, and Diana was there to help us replan and find a new place. When we had to postpone because of Covid, Diana was so supportive and helpful with coordinating our vendors. 2 weeks before the new date, our venue was no longer able to host us, and Diana again got to work and helped us reimagine and move the whole thing. Through it all she was kind and caring, and truly helped us deal with the stress of planning a covid wedding. On the day of, Diana was nothing short of amazing. She brought our vision to life and prioritized what we wanted, making sure to take care of us the whole time. Even when things went wrong, it wasn’t stressful for me because I knew that she would handle it. Hiring Diana was the best thing we could’ve done for our wedding, and I truly think that she is one of the reasons that we were able to go through with our wedding in the middle of all this craziness. I don’t know what we would’ve done without her!

I was almost not going to have my wedding day that day and postpone it for next year, however; Diana Helped me decided to still have it and not let covid affect my day. My husband and I decided not to deal with all the stress of the venue and decided to have a little back yard wedding very last minute. Diana made my back yard wedding so spectacular and glamorous even though I only had a couple guest but it was one for the books and it would definitely be a day I will remember for the rest of my life. And not to mention she is one of the coolest person and Most kindest person I have met. I thank her for all her talent and for sticking with me through my crying session with the venue issues, And for reassuring me everything will be okay!!

ur wedding got postponed FIVE days before the wedding due to COVID-19. She has been so helpful and we know that when we get the chance to have our wedding, she will be more instrumental than ever before in making it the best day ever. Thank you so much for all you do Diana!! ❤️

oes not miss a beat! Unfortunately, like many other Spring 2020 brides, my envisioned wedding day has been postponed due to Covid-19. The process of postponing has inevitably been stressful and emotional, but Diana has truly been such a support to me on a level that goes deeper than our professional relationship. She has accommodated me for my new wedding date in 2021 and is even working on a package to support other brides who are still hoping to elope on their original 2020 wedding date. I am so thankful for her steadfastness in this season of uncertainty and for how she continues to support me as I prepare for my intimate backyard wedding at the end of the month. I will update this review when I have my big wedding next year; but for any fellow Corona brides - if you don't have a coordinator yet and are looking for someone to assist you as you navigate the heartbreaking process of postponing your dream wedding, Diana is your girl. And for brand new brides who are looking for a place to start when it comes to planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic, Diana is also your girl! In a nutshell, she really can handle it all, and she strives for excellence every step of the way. Thank you, Diana!

nd experienced. At that point, we had already done most of the planning ourselves and needed someone to help us tie it all together. She was the right person for the job. She kept us on track. She provided recommendations when asked. She answered all of our questions. She took care of and coordinated with all our vendors. We did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. We are so glad we were able to find her for such a great price! Thank you for all your hard work, Diana and team!

s the vendors) and that I was taken care of (if you need a drink, sandals, etc). It doesn't hurt that she will also probably make you laugh at some point. You need her and her team!

our day of coordinator. She went above and beyond! She gave recommendations as to how to stay in budget, gave her honest and much appreciated opinions on decor & extras, and keeps a timely checklist leading up to the big day. Diana is very organized and even provides her couples with spreadsheets to help with the planning process! Days leading up to the wedding, Diana confirmed all our hired vendors and sent them the the final wedding day timeline, giving us a piece of mind! On the rehearsal day, Diana led us through the processional, ceremony details and recessional with complete patience & professinalism! I had no idea what a mess rehearsal day could be without a true leader with knowledge of ceremony etiquette. On wedding day, Diana arrived to the venue early, handling all delivieries and vendor check- ins. We had nothing to worry about as we knew we were in good hands. The timeline Diana had created for us allowed us to enjoy the entire day! Not once did we feel rushed and the entire day ran smoothly. If anything did go wrong, neither my husband and I knew as everything seemed perfect. Our ceremony started on time, grand entrance and dinner were as scheduled and the entire night was enjoyable. The last thing my husband and I wanted was for our wedding day to fly by. I’m happy to say we were able to enjoy every moment. I especially loved how Diana reminded us to take deep breaths and take it all in. There was one point in the night where Diana came up to me and said, “stand over there (balcony overlooking our reception) and look over your reception, it’s so romantic!” I followed her lead and will forever remember that moment. Diana and her team are true professionals who we would highly recommend! She worked well with our family (which is a tough task in itself!) and bridal party. She was completely respectful, yet assertive enough to get everyone where she needed them when she needed them. Thank you for an unforgettable wedding day!

hard working. Diana always answered all my questions quickly and without any judgement. Her rate are extremely reasonable and honestly so glad I hired her! She has become more of a friend than a coordinator because she truly cares about her couples. I have and will continue to refer anyone I know getting married to her!

before with her infinite knowledge and help. Our day would not have been as magical if it wasn't for her. My Bridal crew marveled at her expertise, professionalism, enthusiasm, attention to detail. The list goes on and on. Once she was in charge, my worries were gone. I can not imagine doing our day without her. We were all so so impressed with her capabilities and her zest to go above and beyond. Impressed is an understatement to describe her talents! Seriously she did so many things so we did not have to worry, we were able to revel in the most amazing day of our lives. She even jumped in to become floral designer for the added last minute details! She was one step ahead of us all the time. We are forever grateful for hiring this team, do it!! You will not be disappointed and we can not recommend Knots and Belles enough! Thank you, Diana for making our dreams come true!!
