We can’t imagine our wedding without Samantha from La Bella Dia. She made the whole planning process so easy and enjoyable! Samantha has a ton of experience in the planning and day of coordination of weddings. It was so valuable having her expertise as we planned our wedding. She provided plenty of advice and support throughout the planning process, and made herself available when needed to answer any of our questions. Since she has worked in the Pasadena area for so long, Samantha knew our venue (The Athenaeum) well and worked seamlessly with their staff to make the wedding day come together without a hitch. She coordinated with all of our vendors, provided the perfect timeline for our special day, and was there both with us and behind the scenes making sure everything was perfect. The day of the wedding was stress free because we knew Samantha and her assistant were taking care of everything! We highly recommend La Bella Dia to anyone getting married in the Pasadena area.

My daughter had her wedding in May 2019 at Castle Green in Pasadena and La Bella Dia was a suggested Day of Coordinator. Samantha was fantastic! She was so helpful in creating a great event flow and coordinating all of the vendors to create one cohesive event. It is her fantastic attention to detail that makes everything flow effortlessly for the wedding party and their families. Samantha and her assistant (I apologize for forgetting her name) took care of so many little things on the wedding day that made it flow without any effort or concern from us. They ensured everything was just the way we wanted it and actually improved on some of the original plans! All of the activities (toasts, cake cutting, dances etc.) were kept flowing and on time. If any problems arose, we certainly were not aware of them. Samantha made the wedding day easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to utilize her services again.

Where do I even start. Last year was both the toughest and best year of my life. Our wedding was in November and our family wasn't being very helpful. Luckily my wife had found Samantha to help us through the entire wedding process, and made our day the best!

We had found Samantha through our wedding venue's recommendation, and had contacted her about a year before our date. You don't realize how much help you need making a wedding work till you plan one. Anyways last year was very stressful as I had gone through career changes, moving, and we had to plan our winter wedding without too much help from family. Samantha had given us a timeline and rubric to fill out, and every time we met with her we felt so much better about the day going to plan, as she stays on top of the vendors. I would call her in a panic sometimes and she would always help me deal with issues that came up.

Day of the wedding, there were so many hiccups and issues that came about due to external factors, and Samantha dealt with everything in a calm collected manner.

Honestly she goes above and beyond her duties! My wife and I kept saying how Samantha was our wedding mom, as we couldn't have made the day work so seamlessly without her!

I found Samantha on The Maxwell House’s preferred vendor page. She was very responsive, and we set up a time to meet and discuss the wedding. She was the very first person I hired for our wedding which helped us out so much! She sent me recommendations and communicated with me throughout the planning process even though I only had the “month out” package.

My husband and I were very concerned during our planning process because we were having an interfaith ceremony and our families are very diverse. We wanted to incorporate new and traditional elements in our wedding and we weren’t sure how to execute all of it. I also ended up traveling last minute for business and had to hand the reigns over to my husband the month before our wedding. Samantha was a life saver! She helped us so much and was our moral support throughout. She was like our “wedding mom” and did everything from providing great recommendations, completing last minute errands, managing our vendors/family/bridal party/guests, and offered words of support.

On our wedding day, she and her assistant kept everything moving along. We had a hiccup during our day (totally out of our control!) and she kept us calm and organized the groundskeeper of the property and fire department to come and speedily correct everything. She kept me fed, hydrated, and made sure I always had a glass of wine when I needed it! She closed everything out and did our final walkthrough so we could go and enjoy the afterparty.

I highly recommend Samantha. She’s a veteran in the industry and will help you create the wedding of your dreams. She’s calm, caring, and will take the best care of you. Her professionalism and demeanor kept me going through all the stressful moments. She’s the absolute best!

Samantha was recommended by our venue and we are SO glad she was. Our day could never have gone as well as it did without her input, support, and hard work. I mean everything went perfectly and I didn't even have to worry about it. You ever meet someone and can just tell they're trustworthy? That was Samantha. We could tell immediately after meeting her that we could trust her to take care of things and get things done. And we were right! She was willing to work with our budget, dealt with our potentially crazy families, and went above and beyond what I even thought her job was (I have trouble letting go lol). Even though we hired her for month of coordination, she was available to answer questions even before that. She took all the decor/items we had gathered for the wedding the day before and made sure they were all set up. She made sure all our vendors showed up at the time and place they were supposed to without me having to talk to them in the week of AT ALL. To be honest, it's possible something did go wrong on our wedding day and she just handled it and didn't have to bother us. She made sure to frequently (but not too frequently) check on us throughout the month and during our wedding day. She made sure we were comfortable with everything. She stayed cool calm and collected that whole time. Honestly, she's the best. Her services are worth every cent.

Samantha Sisk was one of our favorite vendors. She is calm, steady, and supportive. Picking her was one of the first decisions we made as we started the process and we are so incredibly grateful for her help throughout the year. She was always available and very responsive to email. She gave numerous helpful tips along the way. She is very experienced and in particular at the Athenaeum and Castle Green in Pasadena. During the rehearsal and wedding day, she was always there for us and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Do not hesitate to book Samantha Sisk for your wedding!

Samantha helped coordinate our wedding and she was fantastic. She spoke with us over the phone and met with us in person to ensure everyone was on the same page with all items. She provided some invaluable advice and was great at putting out any fires that arose on the wedding day. We were very happy with La Bella Dia and would highly recommend Samantha!

Samantha was an amazing find. I felt incredibly lucky to work with her for my wedding. I interviewed 3 coordinators in total, but Samantha immediately stood out as the right choice for the job. Her calm demeanor and professionalism was clear from the start. She was very responsive and helped me secure a few last minute things, like needing lights because it turned out our DJ didn't have any, without a hitch. Samantha was great at keeping everything running on time and helping to wrangle the family and other guests to where they needed to be when they needed to be there. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

Simply put, Samantha, Brooke, and their team were magnificent. My sister was married 4 years ago and her coordinator was awful, so my husband and I were very particular. We interviewed way too many coordinators - 5 in total. Samantha's cool, calm, and collected attitude was apparent from the moment we met and Brooke is totally unflappable. The timeline they developed was so thorough and left absolutely no questions from any vendors. Naturally, on our wedding day several things didn't go as planned - they responded immediately and effectively. No detail was too small or request unachievable.

My husband and I planned our wedding from Shanghai where we currently live and hiring Samantha was the best decision we made! From my first meeting with Samantha, I was immediately at ease and knew that I could 100% trust her to make our wedding exactly what we wanted. One of the best parts about working with Samantha was that she knew how to work with a bride - this meant having ALL the answers and also knowing when to not let me get carried away. Samantha had such wonderful suggestions and her connections with all of our vendors really made everything easier and especially more personal. After working so closely with Samantha, it was very special to have her at our wedding because she felt like family.

I was drawn to Samantha after reading her website where she describes growing up in a house where her mom was the queen of dinner parties. I immediately connected with her because I grew up the same way and I knew Samantha would know how to make a big event an intimate family affair at the same time.

I would absolutely recommend Samantha to any bride. She is fantastic and truly lovely. She knows weddings and will give her opinion when you need it - and you can trust her opinion which is incredibly reassuring. I was very lucky to have worked with Samantha and still laugh over some of our meetings and conversations. Thank you for everything, SS!
