An Amazing Team That Makes Your Big Day As Stress Free As it Can Be!!

We used At Your Side Planning’s month-of coordination service for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. About a year out, we booked with Diana, the owner, who hopped on a couple of calls with us, shared a super helpful timeline template for when to get things done, and gave us a fantastic list of vendor recommendations.

Then, two months before the wedding (not just a month out like most services), Diana and Robin (our on-site coordinator) got fully caught up on where we were, helped us tackle last-minute to-do’s, reminded us of a few details we’d overlooked, and made sure every “t” was crossed and every “i” dotted.

On our wedding weekend, Robin was simply amazing. She handled absolutely everything behind the scenes so we could stay present and enjoy the day. There were countless little things she did that we’ll never forget, but the biggest takeaway is this: because of her, we had a stress-free wedding. Our guests and even our other vendors kept telling us it was one of the most fun weddings they’d ever attended.

We are so grateful for Diana and Robin’s expertise, warmth, and professionalism. Highly, highly recommend At Your Side Planning!

Great Customer Service

AYS planning did a great job running our wedding day. We hired them to do our "month of" planning & they orchestrated the details of how the actual day would run. Everything went smoothly and I am grateful that I had so much help from them. Highly recommend!

Day of Coordination

The name doesn’t lie! Diana and Jackie were truly at my side throughout this whole process! I am so thankful to have found the perfect coordinators for such a big day! Diana got in touch with all my vendors, organized and sent out the final timeline. I did not have to worry about a thing other than providing her with the info she needed to execute and plan the perfect wedding! As for the day of, Jackie was on top of it! The wedding went so smoothly that I didn’t need much, but whenever and if I did, Jackie was right there! Everything that was discussed prior to the wedding was executed perfectly and Jackie is a true professional. Having her at the reception facilitated the flow of the events that even my guests expressed how fun, organized and smooth the day was. Diana and Jackie understand the nature of the business and will go over and beyond to work with you! This was money well spent!

Hiring At Your Side Planning and working with Diana and Kendra was what my mom and I consider the best decision we made for the wedding! We thought we could go it alone and decided that we didn't want the added stress of keeping things going smoothly on the big day. Since we had already arranged so much, we went with the Week of Wedding Management package. Kendra and Diana put together the schedule and contacted the vendors/worked with the venue to make sure everyone was on time and that no detail went unnoticed.

Kendra was absolutely amazing! She's incredibly sweet, organized and reliable. When my mom and I noticed that the venue had set up some odd decorations leading into the ceremony, Kendra was quick to snatch them up, cut up some extra roses we had and arrange them so that they fit in perfectly with our theme. And then later she spruced up our dessert stand (you might want to consider her as a florist, too!). My mom and I were concerned that having a planner would take away some of our control but Kendra fit in so perfectly. We really couldn't have pulled it off without her. And our venue was so in love with her that they want to add her to their recommended vendors.

Save yourself the stress of wedding planning and let At Your Side help you out. You won't regret it!

Diana was an invaluable part of my wedding planning. She was always responsive and was very good at keeping in contact. You can tell that she genuinely cares about making sure everything goes well and that you are not feeling stressed. It takes a lot to handle my oftentimes overbearing family but she was an absolute trooper. She is calm, patient, but firm when it comes to handling stressful situations -- which you encounter a lot of with weddings! I honestly would not have been able to plan my wedding without her.

Diana is an absolutely amazing person! I am so happy that she was referred to me. Diana, with the assistance of Michelle, ensured that our wedding day was perfect. I worked with Diana on our day of schedule, vendor lists, and all details of our wedding day. I honestly did not have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding. I trusted Diana completely and knew that everything would turn out perfectly. And it did!! Diana kept me calm, went above and beyond to help me. It was clear to me that she genuinely loves what she does! I would recommend At Your Side Planning to everyone!

At your side planning is amazing! This is the 2nd time I have used them and their work is nothing short of phenomenal! Very attentive, great communication and is on top of everything! There were times we were getting side tracked with the wedding, but our planner was right there to make sure we met all of our deadlines!

The day of the wedding, problems came up (like any event would) and the coordinator was right there solve them. We were not bothered and the little issues that arose were taken care of quickly and quietly.

Highly recommended!!!!

Diana and her team were excellent. I noticed right away that she is a good listener. Her calmness and warmth were very helpful with so many decisions to make! It was very helpful to me to have her and her team's assistance on the many final details with the vendors, because one decision can affect several others. Through our various meetings, I felt all my questions were answered, ideas addressed, and details covered. In the end, everything came together perfectly. So many friends and family members have said how much they enjoyed the wedding. We did too! Thanks Diana for helping make our day so very special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Diana and her team are wonderful! Organized, professional, friendly, and they really care about their couples. Diana has that perfect blend of directing and guiding without being bossy. She can handle a very large, very complicated wedding without breaking a sweat. If your wedding is in the San Diego area, Diana is the way to go. She's worth her weight in gold!
