This is the Wedding Planner you want. Trust Me.
I don't even know where to start with Diana... like that's how good she is. From start to finish, working with Di, has been a dream. She is so organized, is so professional, but also has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about her brides. While my venue had a day of coordinator, I wanted some outside support as well, as I knew my vision would take some extra TLC- and boy, did Di deliver on all front. Her organization is bar none, and her experience and expertise, is visible from the get go. Di kept my wild bridal party, and family on

Diana and her team coordinated our wedding at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in July 2021. Diana was absolutely amazing to work with- extremely responsive, incredibly detail-oriented, and was there every step of the way. Leading up to the Wedding was a stressful time, but Diana was so reliable and dependable making everything much easier to manage.
On the day of the Wedding, Diana was an absolute saint and made sure everything behind the scenes was running as smooth as possible dealing with the little last minute mishaps. She never missed a beat and made sure I was comfortable, relaxed and had everything

Diana coordinated our October 2019 wedding at The Ranch at Bandy Canyon. It was an absolute pleasure working with her! She worked with us from the beginning to make sure we had all of the support we needed both as we planned and on our big day. She is super responsive and personal whenever my mom or I reached out with questions. She provided so much great information to a bride who knew very little about wedding planning, let alone all of the options available to us in San Diego. Diana is also very familiar with The Ranch at Bandy Canyon property, which was a lifesaver (as the property does have

So grateful that we found Diana!! The wedding weekend for my daughter and now son-in-law was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and went off without a hitch. Couldn't have done it without Diana's professionalism, calmness and expertise. She was always there for us throughout the process with sound advice that was personalized to our desires. THANK YOU, Diana and your team!!

I don't think we could have found a better wedding planner! I even interviewed a few women and Diana was an easy choice. She listened and understood exactly what I wanted and was incredibly responsive to emails and all communication. We chose the full planning package and I can honestly say that my wedding was stress free because of Diana. She is incredibly organized, proactive, willing to take charge in so many situations and such a kind person. Hands-down I strongly suggest you hire Diana as your wedding planner. I know you wont be disappointed!

Yes this is one of the most exciting times in your life, but lets be real - wedding planning is stressful (and I work in live events for a living). Do yourself a favor and work with Di! She was calm, informative, and instrumental in making the process so much easier.

Diana did an absolutely amazing job coordinating our wedding day. She was so professional and had such a calming presence about her, which helped set our minds at ease. She handled everything with detailed planning and organization. We loved getting her opinion about things and trusted her expertise. We would recommend her to anyone getting married or planning a large party. She was amazing and we can't thank her enough!

We worked Diana using her day-of planning package. Diana was AMAZING to work with both leading up to and on the day. She helped remind me of what last details I needed to finalize a few months leading up to the wedding to make the week of the wedding easy to enjoy. I had so many people come up to me at some point of our wedding weekend and comment how calmed I seemed and it really was all thanks to Diana! Planning a wedding is time-consuming and expensive and It was so nice to have Diana there to ensure my family and I enjoyed every second of it! I would recommend Diana to any of my friends!

Di was absolutely amazing! I am the sister of the bride and couldn't have been more thankful that we had Di help create an experience beyond the magical wedding my sister envisioned. My sister raved about her often and when I met her I could see why. From the first interaction she was personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I live far away and it was so relieving to have someone close to my sister that we trusted and valued her opinion. She has resources and connections that made it extremely easy and cost effective! I would highly recommend Di for anyone planning a wedding and event

Di and her fabulous team are amazing. We were married in October of 2018. Di was so personal and responsive through the entire process. She truly went above and beyond every step of the way. We went with almost entirely her recommendations and were so happy with the team she helped us put together for our big weekend.

This woman was my wedding hero! We booked Di as our day-of coordinator for our Oct. 2017 wedding at The Ranch at Bandy Canyon, and even though the package said "day-of", she was there for us leading up to the wedding. She shared recommendations for other vendors (she recommended our photographer who we also loved), helped translate wedding jargon, and gave guidance on everything from our day-of timeline to our linen colors and table set-up. I felt very lost in the wedding world, and Di was always willing to share her expertise. On the day of, she was calm and incredibly helpful. I did

My now husband and I cannot say enough positive comments about Di! We luckily found her through our venue as she was the recommended planner due to her expertise with our unique space. Upon our first meeting she was welcoming, warm and immediately set my mind at ease. I felt we were in such capable hands with her! She asked great questions which really got me thinking about aspects that we hadn't thought of for our wedding. Needless to say we booked her after our first meeting! Diana is incredibly prompt and responsive which was really important to my husband and I with our busy schedules

She was extremely organized, polite and kept the bride, groom and vendors well informed. This made my job much easier! At the end of the night I managed to forget a vital piece of equipment that I needed for a wedding the following day. She went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to retrieve it that night!

Diana was one of the best investments we made for our wedding! She was easy to work with and very professional. When you initially meet with her, she asks all the right questions and you know instantly she is a seasoned professional who you know you can trust to handle one of the most important days of your life. We hired her for a day-of coordination and she did a fantastic job taking care of everything. We had such a great time at our wedding and it wouldn't have been possible without her. The day of my wedding I never once worried about a single detail, and that's the way your wedding

Diana and her assistant did a wonderful job as our day-of coordinators! My husband and I were married on 11/14/14 at The Ranch at Bandy Canyon, a venue that requires a day-of-coordinator and recommended Diana. I was able to email Diana in the months leading up to the wedding and she was quick to respond with answers and suggestions for the 1,000 questions I had. One of the most important tasks she had was making a timeline and contacting all the vendors to make sure everything was in place. She knew how to time things specifically for our venue and caterers, and that was super helpful!

The smartest thing you can do for your wedding is hire A Wedding By Di. She takes the stress of the entire process off of you as a couple. Diana meticulously helps you take your event to the next level by immersing herself with care and attention to detail.

Diana coordinated the ceremony and reception of my wedding on 1/14/2012. She was wonderful to work with: reliable, easy to get a hold of, paid attention to detail, followed-up with issues we discussed and hadn't yet discussed, helpful, and was very kind throughout the entire process. I just wish we hired her earlier!
One wedding/marriage is just fine for me, so I hope the rest of you will be able to put her services to great use!

I cannot say enough about the services provided by Diana at "A Wedding By Di". Being that I photograph 30-40 weddings a year, I am always relieved when I walk into a wedding knowing she is the coordinator.
