Sweet Tea Events

Diane and her team are amazing! She was such a great resource during our wedding planning process. She pays close attention to detail and is extremely responsive. She was so helpful when choosing vendors for the event. Our wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to her! I would highly recommend her to plan your wedding! You won't regret it!!!

If you're looking for a wedding planner, I highly recommend Diane at Sweet Tea Events. She helped plan our daughter's wedding and from the beginning until the end she was helpful, kind, professional and very organized. She kept us calm throughout the process, took care of the big and small details and made the whole experience perfect in every way.

If you are on the fence if you should have a wedding planner/coordinator or who to choose, book Diane stat. I can't say enough positive things about Diane and her team. I needed a day-of coordinator to facilitate our reception and from the beginning Diane worked with us on our budget and vision — all the while bringing the calm and efficient presence that makes an event coordinator great. She went above and beyond answering questions, meeting us and coordinating with vendors. Even when rain and cold weather came on our wedding day, it was just as beautiful because of Diane's ability to efficiently make our vision come to life, no matter the obstacles. Our special day would not have been complete without her organization and care, she's the best there is!

Picking Diane and her team was the best decision I made when I started planning! She helped me with so many things that I didn’t even know I needed to worry with. I knew the wedding planning would be overwhelming, so I wanted someone on my team to help lead the charge. Diane was everything I needed and more! She stayed organized and was on top of everything that I needed to do so that I did not have to worry that anything was getting forgotten or left off of a list. Diane knows her stuff and made my life so easy. I would highly, highly recommend her!

We hired Diane’s team for day-of-coordination for our wedding and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! Diane was really responsive and helped us throughout the whole time we were planning and answered all of our questions (including reading through my gigantic emails detailing how to set everything up, questions I had, voicing general anxiety.....lol). Diane’s team (led by Merritt on the day of) made the whole day super easy so I could focus on getting ready, and they really understood our vision for how everything would be set up and we really appreciated the work that they put in to that, plus directing us for where we needed to be and when. We could not have imagined our day without you all, thank you so much!

Diane and her team did a fantastic job of pulling our wedding together at the last minute. We had the ceremony in Port St Joe and it was perfect. I highly recommend Diane!!!

Diane and her team at Sweet Tea are truly exceptional. Diane was our wedding coordinator and I can honestly say I could not have had the most incredible wedding of my dreams but for her help throughout the entire process. When the pandemic hit, Diane was there to make sure we could find another date in 2020 to get married. She worked her magic and made sure everything transitioned seamlessly. She helped us reduce our wedding size and helped me plan countless "COVID" details to make sure our wedding was as safe as possible. The day of the wedding, she and her team made sure our day went perfectly. I could not imagine our wedding without her help from the beginning to the end. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator or event planner. you will be excellent hands with Diane and her team. They truly go above and beyond.

Diane made planning my wedding from a distance a BREEZE. From having to change our venue 6 months before the wedding, being 800 miles away, and details I didn't consider when planning, Diane made sure our wedding was PERFECT. Casey & Jess made sure the day of was flawless and handled anything that arose so that I did not have any stress and could truly enjoy the wedding. I would recommend Sweet Tea Events to anyone planning a wedding in the North Florida area!

Diane is a hard worker and saved our wedding day. There were a few hiccups (rain, vendors not showing up, flowers missing) but she kept everything running as smoothly as possible. I would not have been able to enjoy my wedding day without her. Would definitely recommend!

Diane and her team were incredible! Although we only hired Diane for Day-of Coordination, she was always available and willing to help if we had questions leading up to the wedding day. She was always professional and courteous to us, our families, and our guests. She made sure we had nothing to worry about on our wedding so we could enjoy every moment! Five stars is not enough for Diane and Sweet Tea Events!

Diane was such a pleasure to work with! Her vendor recommendations were incredible and fit so well with the feel of the wedding. Diane was so organized and kept all the important pieces together and was always happy to answer all of my random and abundant questions. The wedding turned out so wonderful, and it's all thanks to her and all her great vendor recommendations!

Hiring Sweet Tea was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I can't say enough good things about them. From our first contact, throughout the process and until the end of the wedding night they were incredible and I did not have to worry about 1 single aspect of our special day.

I was a bride who thought she could do it all. Within days of getting engaged, I had pages of excel spread sheets with vendors, prices, and timelines. I was ready for anything. Until I thought… this is our wedding. I don’t want to have to work, direct, coordinate, or do anything like that on the day of my wedding! That’s when we decided to hire Diane and her team. In spite of having another wedding that day, we had a very devoted staff who was ready to help me get down the aisle. Danielle was the main assistant who was there most of the wedding. Not only did she make sure that we were hydrated, and fed, but she made everything go so smoothly. There was an intern there as well, Charnese, who helped clean up and make sure that we got all our items back. We even got the box for our champagne flutes back! The attention to detail and quality of their work is beyond anything that I could have done alone. I am so grateful for her and everyone at Sweet Tea for making our wedding the best day of our lives. Thank you!

Diane is an absolute angel! She made the wedding planning process a breeze. Her experiences and relationships with many vendors around Tallahassee was such a help. She also has many items such as chargers, cylinders, votives, easels, chalkboards and much more that she lets her clients use. From the moment we began planning, I felt so comfortable and heard with Diane. She is very professional and helped me, a very indecisive bride, make decisions seem easy. On the day of the wedding, Diane was there start to finish with her team to ensure the day went smoothly - which it did! I would choose Diane as my wedding planner over and over again. Thank you Diane for helping me plan a wedding that went far beyond my dreams.

Saw my dream and made it happen!

Diane- was a joy to work with. Her flexibility, her expertise and attention to details; as well as her ability to work well with all involved made everything seem effortless. We couldn't have done it without her and would highly recommend.

Diane really goes above and beyond! When our venue decided to "terminate" their DOC position we booked a year ago, we reached out to Sweet Tea Events. Although Diane was booked with such short notice and we weren't able to work with her, she was sweet enough to take the time to help us and offer recommendations of other planners we could reach out to. Even though we personally were not able to work with Diane as our wedding planner, I feel confident in saying she would be a dream to work with! Thank you for your kindness, Diane! :)

Diane is amazing! It was like planning my wedding with a great friend, who happens to be an amazing wedding planner! The whole day was easy and gorgeous! I could not have asked for better!

The best decision I made was using Diane for our wedding! We did the month of package. Up until the time she came into our planning process I was a stressed out bride! As soon as she took over all of my worries were gone! She rocked the day of our wedding! She took care of ever single detail!

Diane was one of my best investments and I couldn’t have done it without her. After my first conversation with Diane, I knew she was the person I wanted by my side on what I perceived to be the most stressful time of my life. She was relatable and easy to talk to, yet showed experience and command. The second we got done reviewing the budget, she had vendors lined up in every category for me to talk to. Although I did use some of my own vendors, the vendors I did use from her recommendation were perfect. She was incredibly responsive to emails and if I got stressed over major details, I knew she was just an email or call away. She put out many fires while making me feel confident everything was going to run smoothly. She was on top of all the details and was reasonably priced. When the big day final came, my family barely had to lift a finger. She set up decor just the way we discussed and had everything ready with a detailed timeline. I don’t know what I would have done without this amazing lady. She saved me from pulling all my hair out. Thanks to her, I had a stress-free year of planning and I would hire her again a million times over!

I would never do a wedding without her. She took all of the stress away from my daughter and ran with it. We relaxed on the wedding day, knowing Diane was there. Hands down, the BEST money spent on the wedding. It was absolutely flawless, thanks to her.

I can't even begin to imagine everything that Diane did for our wedding. She was our savior, plain and simple. My husband and I are from Boston, but our wedding was in Havana FL on my husband's family's tree farm. Diane was incredibly flexible and helped a great deal coordinating with our vendors and picking out a site on the farm while we were stuck up in Boston. We had planned a wedding weekend with hiking, fishing, bird watching, swimming, and yard games. All of which would take place on the property. However, the weather forecast began showing signs of rain the week leading up to the wedding. An outdoor wedding. Starting Thursday night it began to storm. A storm that didn't let up until Sunday afternoon, after all the guests had left. Our picturesque ceremony site under the arch of an oak tree was out of the question. Our danceflood began to float with the river of water that ran under our tent. The caterers couldn't set up the food outside because the wind and rain were putting out the flames under the serving dishes and filling the food with water. Diane fixed everything. Last minute she arranged for more pop-up tents, organized and cleared space inside the house for the buffet, and cake. She cleared space under the tents for us to have our ceremony. Diane took on the burden of this wreck of a wedding and made it a night to remember for everyone. It simply could not have happened without her. If you are looking for someone to manage the mishaps and downright disasters that could pop up on your wedding day, pick Diane. You can trust her to smooth out the wrinkles and make your wedding day as stress free as possible.

We could not have had the most perfect wedding it it wasn't for Diane. She was with us through it all. She helped our vision come to life! She was so great at communicating and was open to many ideas and had so many amazing ideas of her own. She was so fun to be around and made things so easy. I kept thinking this should be more difficult to plan but it didn't need to be because Diane was so amazing. She was quick to respond to emails and has such great relationships with the best of the best other vendors. I couldn't imagine my special day without her! Diane holds a special place in mine and my husbands hearts.
