Diamond Events is awesome! They provided my table linens and silver charger plates for my Northern Virginia wedding. Stephanie is great and is very responsive, helpful and professional. She answered all my phone calls, voice mails and emails in a timely manor. She made sure I had nothing to worry about. The table linens and silver chargers were delivered to the venue and picked up by Diamond Events. The linens were all ironed perfectly and the silver chargers brought a classy, sophisticated touch to the table settings. Diamond Events is not only professional, but a great value. Diamond Events is one of the few vendor in the Northern VA/DC area with low prices and great value and service. You get more bang for your buck and I would definitely recommend Stephanie and Diamond Events to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

Stephanie was such an amazing person to work with; she was planning her wedding at the same time as coordinating the flowers for mine, and she didn't miss a beat. Her suggestions and flower arrangements were incredible. I saved my bouquet (something I swore I would never do) simply because her arrangement was so beautiful. She was very flexible in regards to delivery, price, and meetings. I loved working with her!

Stephanie, the owner/manager of Diamond Events went above and beyond what I expected of a wedding planner. She was there with me every step of the way making recommendations, suggestions or just adding support and tweaking my ideas. If I had any concerns she was there to alleviate them all. Stephanie is extremely professional, she's calm and very knowledgeable. I truly appreciate all she did. She followed my requests to the letter and I never once had to ask about anything. I give her most of the credit for how beautiful and perfect my wedding day was. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding planner. She and her assistants were awesome.

Stephanie/Diamond Events helped with practically every aspect in our wedding including: planning, floral arrangements and bouquets. She was extremely professional and helped guide us in choosing invitations, creating timelines, design ideas etc. She was always available whenever we had any questions and offered helpful and creative suggestions throughout the planning process.
Stephanie created the centerpieces for the reception and hand-made all of the bouquets and boutonnieres for the groomsmen that turned out exactly how we wanted. She also helped guide us through the rehearsal, which we had no idea how to time it- with music, etc.
The day of the wedding Stephanie hand delivered the bouquets and decorated the reception site. We had two of Stephanie’s assistants on hand at the ceremony and later on at the reception site. They were very helpful and professional and put my mind at ease.
I highly recommend Diamond Events to anyone looking for an event planner that will help in the creative process, ensure things run smoothly and on time!

Stephanie from Diamond Events was absolutely fabulous for my day-of-coordinator. Since I enlisted her, she was available for recommendations on vendors, wedding etiquette, etc., which was so incredibly helpful. On the day of, I was so pleased to have someone there to set everything up, make sure the evening went smoothly and collect everything at the end of the night. She even dropped off my bouquet the day before! Stephanie was also super calm, which helped so much on a hectic day. I highly recommend Diamond Events for a day-of-coordinator!

We would have never been able to pull off our dream wedding without Diamond Events. Stephanie and her team helped with coordination of both the ceremony and the reception and everything went so smoothly. They even helped our caterer resolve a few hiccups and we never knew anything went wrong until after the wedding. We are so thankful to have their help and expertise!

OK HERE IT GOES..... Stephanie is a nice person and this review isnt about bashing someone but I will forever be upset with the way my wedding went.My wedding was on a very popular day 10/10/10. I planned alot my self but there was still alot that need to be done. So I hired Diamond Events. I was reassured over and over that my wedding was going to be wonderful. Well Stephanie had already told me she wouldn't be there but that was fine and handed me off to her helper which I got to know and she seemed to know what she was doing.Well a couple of weeks before the rehearsal they informed me that they would not be there for my rehearsal which was pretty crazy to me since thats what I had paid for and that is part of a wedding planners job.They also said that because my day was on a Sunday it wasn't a normal day to get married! So of course no one knew what to do at the rehearsal we all just had to wing it and hope for the best! Which is what I did not want for my wedding day! Well on my wedding day I was going to let nothing ruin it! I will name off a couple of things that happened.... while I was getting pre pictures done I had guest coming up asking me where do they sit..... I was having to decorate the front were I was getting married before I was able to get dressed.... every time I need something my" wedding planner" was no where to be found and everything was crazy. She was getting stuff done for my reception I do give her that but she did bring helpers and alot of what happened could have been avoided if they would have cared more about my day! In the end I was giving money back but It will always make me so mad because I read and see pictures of other peoples weddings that they did and wonder why mine was on the back burner. I am thankful for my wonderful friends and family... and my photographers who had to do so much to help out they couldnt just concentrate on taking pictures :( I learned alot from that day but in the end I did have a beautiful wedding But it was not with Diamond Events help!

Let’s be honest, I am a type A personality and putting the details of my wedding into the hands of Diamond Events had not always been my plan, but I knew I could relax and not worry about a thing with these girls by my side! From the first time I met with Stephanie, I knew our wedding would be in good hands! I am not sure she knew quite how many details and special touches I had in mind, but my DIY personality was no problem at all for her at all. Each display that I had in mind was done 100% better than I ever imagined. It is so hard to explain the calmness that Stephanie brought on my wedding day and the comfort of knowing that everything is totally under control! Diamond Events is the best!

Stephanie Hughes with Diamond Events helped my daughter with her wedding in Roanoke, Virginia on June 12. Throughout the long period of wedding planning, Stephanie was a valuable resource for vendors as well as practical ideas for the big day. As I live quite a distance from my daughter, I was appreciative that Stephanie was always available to listen to ideas and do some of the legwork that planning a wedding involves!

I'm not quite sure how we would have gotten through the wedding weekend without Stephanie, from the rehearsal to making sure the gifts made it up to our room after the reception. I know there are probably a multitude of things she did behind the scenes that I am not even aware of, like overseeing the decorations in the ballroom for the reception, but her calm presence and professional, unobtrusive demeanor added so much to our special day.

I'm not sure how many times I told her "We couldn't have done it without you" during the day, but I meant it every time! Our daughter had so many good ideas for her wedding, and Stephanie helped her make her vision a reality. It was a beautiful day and Stephanie was a big part of making it happen.

Professional, experienced, capable, and CALM! I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie as a wonderful resource to anyone planning a wedding or other event.

I am pretty sure the wedding would have never happened without them! I have been so busy with work this past year that I have barely had time for myself, let alone, time to plan the wedding. Stephanie and her team did an amazing job scheduling our vendor meetings to fit my crazy schedule, finding people within our price range and coordinating arrangements for all of relatives coming in from out of town. Even when I decided I did want to have the favor boxes filled with candy the week before the wedding, they were able to make it happen! The day of the wedding Jaclyn even gave us a ride home after the reception when our limo didn't show (lesson learned... always listen to your wedding planner and not your friend, who knows someone who used.....). Thanks for everything!

I was a DIY bride, I even wanted to take care of day-of things myself until it got closer and I realized that it would be impossible. Since I got in touch with Stephanie 2 weeks before my wedding, I was nervous I didn't give her much time to catch up to speed, but she exceeded my expectations! She came to my apartment where I showed her all the projects I worked on for the last 10 months and explained exactly how I envisioned each one set up. She assured me that it would be absolutely no problem. She also offered me some great advice and tips that I hadn�t thought of. When she left, I felt relieved that I have found someone I could trust to take care of the details and logistics for my wedding day.

I think I only saw Stephanie a handful of times throughout the day/night, but I could tell that she had everything under control! Everything was exactly where it needed to be and the whole wedding flowed perfectly. Since we made a lot of things for the wedding ourselves, I was worried that my family would have to stay late and clean everything up, but by the time everyone was leaving, Stephanie already had 95% of the things packed up and ready to be loaded into the cars. There�s no way I could have had a stress-free day without Stephanie! She was very professional, knowledgeable, and able to work with my budget, I highly recommend her and Diamond Events.

I had a good time working with Stephanie - my wedding turned out beautiful and without any major glitches. I did a lot of the planning on my own but Stephanie offered some great suggestions that I would not have come up with on my own!

Stephanie was so wonderful to work with. I had been planning our wedding for over a year and the entire process was so pleasing. My Fianc�e and I purchased a planning package and I can�t tell you how much time she saved me. Her knowledge of the vendors, questions to ask, budget suggestions, etc, it definitely exceeded my expectations. We did book some of the vendors ourselves, but she easily accommodated and got along great with everyone. Thank you both so much for making our wedding a day to remember!

Stephanie of Diamond Events was very helpful in planning for and finding my vendors. The band she found for us was incredible, the cake was out of this world, and flowers were extraordinary. Stephanie was very reliable and easy to work with. She practically brought the vendors to me!! Stephanie was also quick to respond. If I had a question about anything she replied almost immediately. Even when I needed linens for my tables two days before my wedding, she found them!!


I would like to thank you for all of your help throughout the planning process of the wedding. The vendors you found for us were awesome. I feel like I would not have been able to do this without you. A million thanks to you.

My day turned out perfect! Stephanie and her team did an amazing job of setting up all of the decorations, place cards, favors, place settings, etc... I can't believe how great everything turned out. I received some assistance with my vendors and I am so glad that I did, hiring a wedding planner was the best decision ever! Being able to walk away at the end of the night and not have to worry about a thing is such a relief.

I hired Stephanie as my Day-of-Wedding Coordinator and she was perfect. She kept everything running smoothly. Around December I decided that while I had planned everything down to a tee – it would all be for naught if I didn’t have someone I could depend on to execute everything. I didn’t want to assign that task to my bridesmaids or hostesses because I wanted them to enjoy the day. That’s why I hired Stephanie. She ensured that all my planning paid off. I emailed her master Excel workbook – which included about 8 worksheets and she worked her magic . She gave me good comments and tips, which I employed and overall she was the best peace of mind. I highly recommend her.
