Donna was AMAZING!! She was with us from beginning to end, handled all the details and kept us on track. Not only is she extremely efficient and professional, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She helped us pull off the wedding of our dreams, and we will be forever grateful. I will recommend her to ALL of our friends❤️
Donna was amazing to work with and so organized. She made sure we worked out every detail and on wedding day everything went smoothly and worked out perfect. We couldn't have done it without her and her teams help.
Donna was amazing every step of the way from our first planning meeting in March to the wedding day September 24!! Perfect thanks to her advice, help and expertise !!! I’ll definitely use her again!
Awesome, amazing, perfect. If you want a stress-free wedding experience, this is the wedding planner you need!
Donna is a super woman! Her organization, communication, and timeliness made our wedding planning process seamless. Her experience and professional relationships helped us to choose reliable vendors for our most perfect day. Donna does it!
Donna did an excellent job assisting us in planning our daughter's wedding! Her knowledge and experience were invaluable in helping us secure vendors, and in planning and executing the event beautifully. She handled everything in an utmost professional manner and was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Donna and Love In Bloom to handle your event.
Donna is the best! She has close relationships with all of the best vendors. She is truly a pleasure to work with and has phenomenal taste! She went above and beyond for me and is a fabulous problem solver- if I had a problem, big or small, she had multiple solutions! However, aside from being the perfect wedding planner, she is also a wonderful person. The pandemic was stressful for all brides, but she led the charge when my husband and I decided to push our wedding reception by one year. If it wasn’t for her tight relationship with said vendors, we could have lost a lot of money and even the opportunity to have a reception at all. Instead she was able to keep all of our vendors, rentals, location, etc. and threw the most beautiful reception I could have asked for! I can’t speak highly enough of Donna! She is a gem and a one of a kind wedding planner! Book her! You will not regret it.
Thank you Donna for helping us out on the rehearsal dinner. The linens were amazing and really made the event come together. We love you, you’re the best!
My husband and I highly recommend Donna Brian for your wedding! Everything was done with perfection and professionalism. We truly were blessed with such an amazing, fabulous coordinator!
Donna was fabulous and really was on top of everything! If you would like a detail-oriented, problem-solver as your planner, she is the right choice for you! She was even able to figure out how to get our massive bar to the 16th floor of our venue at the last minute. The night went incredibly smooth, because of her and we can't thank her and her team enough!
We couldn't have handled our rehearsal dinner, and meet and greet for our destination wedding without her, she took the stress off being in a place we knew nothing about
Donna was amazing throughout the entire planning process! Planning a wedding through covid gave us a lot of curve balls but she was able to help us handle every situation that arose! Our wedding would not have been the same without her and every aspect of it was absolutely perfect!
I would recommend Love in Bloom to plan your wedding. Donna and her staff were very professional. From the start of our wedding planning to the end of our wedding reception, everything was wonderful!
Donna helped us plan our wedding during the 2020 pandemic. She was able to accommodate ALL of our plans, keep us calm and make our wedding happen when we didn’t think we had any options. Donna was a pleasure to work with, and we wouldn’t have been able to have our wedding if it wasn’t for her.
Donna was hands down the best planner we could have used for our New Orleans wedding this past January! When people ask me what made her so great, I had to narrow down the list so I wouldn't go on for hours :)
Donna is a champion for her brides, grooms, and their families. She helped negotiate rates for the hotel, sort out issues prior to me even knowing about them, and worked with all of the vendors so they had detailed understanding of how our day would work, far in advance of the event so that both the vendors, and our families were comfortable with the flow of our day. This also speaks to how detail-oriented she is, because there were a lot of moving pieces to our day.
She also was able to give vendor recommendations for flowers, AV, photo booth, etc - which saved us thousands of dollars, and all of the vendors were top notch and made our day so incredibly beautiful.
She also helped my in-laws plan our wonderful, beautiful, rehearsal dinner - down to doing site visits and tastings with my in-laws to make sure that everything went off without a hitch.
I can't recommend Donna enough - brides, book her now!!
After 15 months of planning, the big day had finally arrived. Donna and her team were on top of every detail. I could relax and spend the day with my daughter and not worry about anything. THANK YOU to you and your team. It was a fabulous day!
I could never tell all the amazing things Donna and Love In Bloom did for me and my husband when we were planning our big day!!!
Donna is simply the best!!! My husband found Love In Bloom on The Knot when I was breaking down about all the details. Donna met with us, and we immediately felt how passionate and caring she was. She wanted us to have the best wedding possible, and she had the connections and resources to make that possible.
Here are some of the endless highlights of all Donna did for us:
* She calmed me with her knowledge and expertise. I had heard a lot of horror stories about how brides were stressed out. I never had that experience with Donna! I knew our day was in the right hands.
* She got us major discounts on my bridal gown, bridesmaids gowns, and groomsmen accessories. She even loaned me a couple of headpieces because I ran out of time looking for stuff.
*She brought glow sticks for the children in attendance at our reception. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but when it makes your friends' kids happy, it makes you very happy as well.
*She was beyond prepared. We thought the bustle my seamstress installed would be great, but it came undone a few times. How do I put this delicately? Donna got under my dress (with my permission, of course) to pin that bad boy up... I danced all night with zero problems!!
*She found us so many great vendors... from our reception venue, to the cakes, to the music and photo booth, to the sparklers. Funny story about the sparklers. I told Donna I would handle it. I had a friend who had some leftover from her wedding. A few days before the wedding, I asked my friend, and she said she forgot and threw them out. So I told Donna, but I was sure it would be too late. She told me that she had already called her sparklers guy to bring her enough for our wedding.
*The basin we used for our foot washing ceremony broke while my husband carried it to the church. He called Donna, and she coordinated to get us a new one. The new one was crystal and all sorts of fabulous. I only knew about it once we were washing each other's feet! My only thought was, "Wow, this is so much nicer than the one I bought"!
* She found amazing linens for us and set it all up. It was gorgeous.
*She set our honeymoon up for us as well and got us a great discount!!
I could go on and on and on... but the moral of the story is Trust Donna!! I'm recommending her to everyone I love!!!
Donna Brian and her team were amazing. The day of my daughter's wedding, I felt completely stress free because I knew Donna had everything under control. She made sure the day was perfect for my daughter and the day went like clockwork. If anything went wrong, I didn't know about it. I urge any mother of the bride to enlist the help of Love In Bloom to ensure a beautiful outcome for such a special event in their daughter's life.
I can’t even explain how amazing Donna was through the whole planning process. It was a stress free year for my fiancé and me because she literally took care of everything. Everything I wanted, she made it happen. What I loved, too, was that I could pick up the phone and call her and she’d answer and discuss anything with me. I can’t even count how many comments my mom and I got saying it was the smoothest running reception they’ve ever been to. She deserves all the praise in the world.
All my friends asked how I could be so calm before my daughter's wedding, and I just told them Donna Brian!! Donna took every stress, worry and fear out of this event. Every detail, large and small was handled, most times before I even knew it had to be done!! Her suggestions were so creative and catered to the enjoyment of the guests. The wedding was so well run and on time that many more than several guests asked who our wedding planner was!! She is just amazing. Anyone in Shreveport Bossier who uses someone else is doing themselves a disserviceSandra!!
Our wedding was the best day ever because of Donna! She listens to what you want and makes creative suggestions without being pushy. She has many years of experience and every last detail of your big day is carefully planned and executed. It was so helpful to have her go over all of the contracts, when payments were due, and all the other 90000 questions that come up between getting engaged and the wedding. Donna is kind, professional, creative, and is a class act all the way around. The planning process can be so stressful and it is so great to have a skilled coordinator in your corner. For the wedding of your dreams to come to life, book Donna!
There is no finer, more respected, more thoughtful wedding consultant than Love In Bloom. Her promptness, her patience, and her ability to provide whatever is asked of her to make a bride's wedding day the most special is amazing. I could not recommend anyone who is better at what she does. You can just tell when you first talk with her how much she enjoys her job!
I have attended several weddings this year, and the one Donna Brian was involved with was by far the most enjoyable. She harbored a comfortable atmosphere. She is extremely organized, and her years of experience definitely show.
Donna was nothing short of amazing. She made the whole wedding process stress free. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Donna was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had. She helped us plan all the way from my wife’s bridal shower, rehearsal, wedding ceremony, reception, & honeymoon. She makes sure you get the best of the best at great prices. I am so glad we chose Donna to be our wedding planner. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us! I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married!
Donna Brian and the staff of Love in Bloom are just wonderful! We have two daughters and Donna Brian was our wedding planner on both weddings. Each wedding was beautiful, unique and special! Both weddings captured the personality and dreams of each bride. I call Donna my Wedding Guardian Angel! Donna and her staff allow the bride's parents to be guests at the wedding too. We are so grateful to Love in Bloom for making lifetime wedding memories for our family!
Absolutely LOVE Donna. She goes above and beyond to ensure you feel like a princess on your wedding day. I cannot express how much I appreciate Donna. She made the wedding planning stress free! Our wedding was nothing short of amazing.i would highly recommend her to anyone.
I cannot fully describe how beautiful the wedding was. Donna made my princess's dream come true. It was the best wedding ever. I was truly blessed.
Donna was absolutely wonderful! Could not have had my daughters dream wedding without her! She went over and beyond her duties. From start to finish she was there for us. Thank you Donna for making Beth and Jake's wedding perfect.
Donna was the absolute best wedding planner and I couldn’t have done it without her! I was living out of state during the entire wedding process and she made life so easy for me. She was such a blessing to me during the entire process! If you need a planner, you have to have her, she’s the best!
Donna is THE best!!! She kept us on track with all the wedding planning and let me (as mom of the bride) actually enjoy wedding day!!
Hi Donna, I'm so sorry, I just saw your email. Guess you don't need any answers now! Thank you so so much for the wonderful job you did!!!!! I don't know how anybody throws a wedding without you--keeping everything--what, when where..on track and your connections to all the wonderful "vendors"--cakes, flowers,...and of course THE BAND--WOW!!! I think every single person at the reception had a fabulous time--many of them probably paid dearly the next day, after drinking themselves into oblivion! As David, has said continuously since the wedding, "There's nothing that I would have done differently, it was way beyond my expectations!!!"
I don't know how you keep your sanity with all you go through, but you certainly know your business!!
Thank you SO much again!!

Donna was absolutely magnificent and such a joy to have throughout my wedding planning. She made my exact vision come to life. Not only was it absolutely beautiful, but everything went so smoothly the day of each event and she was always so ready to help. Along with coordinating our wedding, she helped plan the bridal luncheon and the rehearsal dinner— which were both perfect. I will always recommend Donna to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator. Thank you for everything Donna!! Couldn’t have done it without you!!
Donna Brian with Love In Bloom was my life saver. I worried about nothing the day of the wedding because I knew everything was in her very capable hands. I was able to totally concentrate on being the mother-of-the-bride. Throughout the 6 month planning phase, Donna was with us every step of the way, meeting with vendors, giving advice, helping make decisions, and offering suggestions.
There are not enough good things to say about Donna Brian. She was my right hand woman for an entire year. From cake tasting to picking out invitations, she was so helpful through it all. Living in another state, I trusted Donna to help me hand pick every aspect of my January wedding and I could not have been happier with the way she interpreted my vision. I have never met a kinder, more genuine woman in my life. If you are considering a wedding planner in Shreveport, or anywhere else, please choose Donna Brian. She will not disappoint!
True passionate talented visionary – DONNA BRIAN IS SIMPLY THE BEST WEDDING COORDINATOR PERIOD! We got married on September 16th and the day couldn't have been more memorable. It was absolutely stunningly beautiful, in large part because of the hard work and fabulous recommendations for decor people, photographer and catering that Donna made. She was wonderful to work with, and I would definitely recommend Donna and Love in Bloom to anyone planning a wedding or other event without any hesitation whatsoever. We were pretty clueless and hiring Love in Bloom was the best decision we made. Thank you so, so much Donna!
We got married a few weeks ago and I told my husband while we were away the first thing I was going to do when we got back was write Donna a review. Its the very least I can do. There is no way our wedding could have been the spectacular day it was without her. It is not just her organization, it is the consultation and conversations prior that relieved my stress and helped me prepare for the day.
She had ideas that elevated mine. I am a project manager by trade, and used to organizing at a macro and micro level. It does not matter, you need someone like Donna to rein it all in, and figure out the details that your brain could not comprehend. She is the expert, and it shows. Nothing seems to faze her.
My parents, brother, husband, bridesmaids and guests were throwing around the following: "perfect", "could not have happened without her", "worth every penny and so much more."
When our second daughter became engaged, there was no doubt we would use Donna again! She was an invaluable asset to both of our daughters' weddings. Not only did she have excellent original ideas, but she was a great advisor on ideas we already had. Her experience is unmatched, and well worth the investment. I was able to fully enjoy the day of the wedding , and with Donna in charge, I was worry free!!
When you hire Donna and her team at Love in Bloom, you can rest assured your event will be perfect. She has the ability to see your vision and to execute all the elements of your wedding flawlessly. She is warm, attentive and pays attention to every detail. I love that every event is personal to her and she does everything with excellence. I HIGHLY recommend Donna and her team!
If I had to describe Donna in one word I would say AMAZING. She has made wedding planning such a breeze. Donna has always made herself available and responds very quick. She has been in the industry for years and with her expertise and knowledge--let's just say she knows what she is doing and does it well! I've heard many horror stories of planning a wedding and Donna has made my experience an unforgettable one. I've had a blast planning with her. If anyone is on the fence of hiring a wedding coordinator I would just GO for it! It has been the best desecion I've made and be sure to choose Donna, because let's be honest--she hasn't been awarded The Knots Best of Weddings for several consecutive years for nothing :)
Donna has been incredible throughout our wedding experience. She is willing to take that extra step to make everything perfect. She always goes above and beyond your expectations. I'll definitely be recommending her to anyone!
Donna is amazing! She has gone the extra mile for us. I have attended many weddings that she has cordinated. Let's just say they were fairy tale wedding and receptions . We can't wait till May to see our daughters dream wedding come true!
Donna helped us organize the wake for my dads funeral. She was so compassionate and was such a godsend for us and took all the stress out of planning. The set up was beautiful and the food was great. I cannot thank her enough for handling this for us and being such a good friend to my mom!
Donna Brian was a dream to work with!! She was so attentive and there was never a task too big. From the decorations at the church and reception site, to the hotel blocks and limo being reserved, making sure all transportation for guests was set, keeping everything on schedule and making me feel calm and at ease on my wedding day. She did it all!! I definitely recommend her to help any bride on their special day because she will make it one to remember for sure!!
Where do I even begin?... Mrs. Donna and her team make every single detail absolutely perfect. Show her pictures and describe your vision and she will exceed your expectations! The romantic details were raved about. Young and young at heart talked about how relaxing, entertaining, and inviting the atmosphere felt. The modern bar room furniture, lighting, desert table design and presentation was exquisite! Cannot say enough about how fantastic every detail was.
Donna Brian was one of the first phone calls I made when our daughter became engaged 15 months ago. I can truly say it was one of the best decisions we made. Donna's wealth of knowledge and experience in the bridal field was certainly crucial in planning our wedding. She has a wonderful relationship with vendors and is not afraid of thinking "outside the box". Donna made herself available to us whenever we needed her and was prompt with answers to even the most challenging questions. But where I appreciated her the most was on Grace's wedding day. She allowed all of us to relax and enjoy the moments without having to worry about anything. We had a beautiful wedding, and we have Donna to thank for making it go so smoothly.
I have worked with Donna with a couple of years now at Hilburn Printing as one of her vendors. She is a pleasure to work with. She is very passionate about her job and cares so much about her wedding party. I would recommend Donna Brian with Love In Bloom to anyone that wants a fun and caring wedding coordinator!
Donna and her partners did a wonderful job. She worked hand in hand with my wife but as the husband I wanted to write the review bc I was so impressed with how hard she worked and went the extra mile for us. Everything went as planned and we are very happy we used Love In Bloom to coordinate our special day.
Planning a wedding is stressful but, planning a wedding when you live in a different state is overwhelming! Thank goodness for Love In Bloom, LLC and Donna Brian! She was extremely helpful in choosing venues and vendors. Donna streamlined the planning process and in one trip to Shreveport, my daughter and I were able to choose flowers, wedding cakes, reception linens, menu, invitations, napkins, and many other items needed for the wedding. She also retained the party bus, limousine, DJ, videographer, and hair and make-up artists for the bridal party. The day of the wedding went very smoothly and we were able to enjoy the wedding and reception without worrying about logistic details. Plans were implemented flawlessly and no detail was overlooked! She took care of every detail from pre-planning phase to preserving my daughters Wedding gown after the festivities were over. I highly recommend Donna Brian, Love In Bloom LLC!
Donna is an extremely talented professional. Her ability to execute her ideas from paper to reality was amazing! Her attention to detail and organization was beyond any expectations.
Donna with Love in Bloom was incredible! She made the wedding planning process exceptionally easy. Her knowledge and willingness to help when iI had questions was more than I could have asked for. She made our day absolutely perfect and completely stress free. We are so pleased with every detail of the wedding and would not have changed a thing.
Donna was a tremendous help in planning our wedding, from coming up with ideas to helping implement them. Always calm, and solving looming crises, with a smile no less! Thank you!
Donna Brian of Love in Bloom did an amazing job planning my wedding. Being a med student, I was very busy with school. Donna’s expertise was a lifesaver. She handled my wedding in a way that allowed me to be involved while still being able to focus full time on my schoolwork. She had also previously planned my sister’s wedding, and I was very excited to work with her because I knew how good of a job she had done for my sister. Donna answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. She had excellent vendors that she put me in contact with, and through her we were able to find opportunities that saved us money. She was able to make the details of the wedding I envisioned become a reality. My wedding day was stress free for my mother, the groom, and me. I cannot imagine having planned such a great wedding without her. I am so thankful that Donna Brian was able to plan my wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!
From the start, Donna was on her game to support me. She was easy to talk to, approachable, organized, thoughtful, thorough, professional and was hands on in every aspect from start to finish. She has a great instinct in understanding my vision and conveying even what I didn’t know what I wanted. She has great contacts for people to work with-- from flowers to invitations to table rentals-- everyone Donna works with is as reliable as she is! I will ALWAYS recommend Donna to everyone I know that is getting married. I could not be more amazed at her and her team.
Great job!
Donna was expectional in helping us with our wedding planning! Her attention to detail is outstanding and it really saved me lots of stress. Although she recommended some very impressive vendors, we opted to select a few that she had never worked with before. Her willingness and ability to work with the "new" vendors was great. Everything ran smoothly. Will definitely recommend her services
Donna. handled our engagement party and wedding with great detail. She purchased my wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, invitations, wedding book, garter etc. and saved my family thousand of dollars. Thank you for making all my dreams come true.
Donna was extremely organized throughout the wedding planning process. I was impressed with her knowledge of various vendors and all of the details that needed to be considered. She helped make our wedding everything we hoped it would be!
Contacting Donna Brian at Love in Bloom was the best decision I ever made! Donna took care of every detail making sure my wedding was exactly as I imagined. I recommend Donna to all of my friends. You can tell she truly loves what she's doing.
Donna takes care of every single detail before I even had a chance to think about being worried about it! She helped us find amazing vendors and to focus our budget on the things that truly matter in the end!
Donna was a dream come true! She is very creative and allowed my wedding to be stressed free! She is worth every dollar.
