We worked with Dina over the course of 8 months leading up to our August wedding in Santa Barbara. She displayed a consistently high level of professionalism, skill, organization, and communication over that time. We found her to be particularly responsive and thoughtful when questions--big and small--arose over the planning process, and our work with her left us feeling confident about the coordination and facilitation of events on our big day.

On the day of our wedding, Dina worked hard to make sure everything went according to plan. She ensured that vendors were appropriately prepared, she problem-solved, and she checked in with us to see if we had everything we needed. We had an absolutely amazing wedding, which was due in no small part to Dina's efforts.

I also want to mention that Dina has a warm demeanor, and is generally a pleasure to work with. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Dina is absolute dream! I feel so lucky so have had her as my wedding coordinator for our big day. I moved to California about a year ago, and planning a wedding is stressful and doing so in a new city can be overwhelming. but with Dina by our sides, she was able to quickly take on my stress and worries and handle everything with such control and perfection. Dina is extremely talented, and will take on each task with the most passion and organization. Having Dina on the day of our wedding made our day absolutely seamless in every-way imaginable. She was attentive to my every need, and will go over and beyond to make sure you are happy. She will always have a smile on her face no matter what. I give the highest recommendation to Dina and her company "On The Bride's Side"

Dina was experienced and asked the right questions. Her attention to detail helped us plan a smooth wedding

We planned our wedding in three short months and would not have been able to pull it off without the help of On the Bride's Side/Dina. She sent me contacts of her favorite vendors that included our florist, DJ, and best of all our sweet ride, which was a vintage Mercedes convertible. I had a low key wedding that I thought I could handle on my own, but Dina was my eyes, ears, and hands and brought everything together (she even put together a mini Christmas tree!). You will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and book On the Bride's Side!!

I contacted Dina about two weeks before my wedding (we decided to get married at the last minute) and she was amazing with helping finalize details and recommending/contacting vendors we had not yet secured. The day of, she was incredibly calm, collected and did a fantastic job of guiding us and our guests. She even showed up to our reception dinner (she planned to finish up at the ceremony since our wedding was quite small) and helped out there too! She truly made my wedding day a smooth and painless process. I'm so grateful I had the chance to work with her and would HIGHLY recommend her!

I reached out to Dina about 3 months before our wedding, and it was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. She stepped in seamlessly and made sure that everything went smoothly. She took care of so many details behind the scene and truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day and the weeks leading up to it were stress-free. She found a videographer and 4-piece band for our sendoff less than 10 days before the wedding, and both turned out to be amazing. Dina is a pro and became a fast friend in the months leading up to our wedding!

Dina is incredible!! She helped us find our perfect wedding. She really listened to what we wanted, and made it into a reality. Dina was so responsive, personable, creative, flexible and really put her love into our big day. Dina thinks of all the little things to make the day perfect and flow seamlessly. We can’t thank Dina enough!

When the wedding of my dreams was cancelled, Dina helped me plan a small elopement. I was devastated, but I can’t imagine going through that process without her help. My wedding was pretty much completely planned when I had to change everything. Having Dina was the only thing that kept me sane! Worth every penny.

Dina was my rock throughout my wedding planning process. Unfortunately our wedding was cancelled due to COVID so I wasn't able to see her perform the day of but she was truly a godsend. We all know that wedding planning in general can be a pain but throw in a worldwide pandemic and you have a full blown nightmare. Dina was helpful, organized, super responsive and professional throughout the 6 months that we worked together. I felt comfortable to rely on her to take care of both small and large tasks and I loved that I could confide in her as well. She was always available when I needed her and she always knew what to do. She gracefully navigated the uncharted waters that we were in when COVID became a reality in the US and although it didn't work out for us, I know that she has helped so many couples throughout this process and will continue to be an even stronger coordinator because she's overcome so many obstacles. If you're considering whether or not you need a wedding coordinator, trust me, you do and if you're still considering who to choose, trust me, Dina is the best choice.

Dina was warm, professional, and responsive to texts and calls! She worked with my tight budget and offered detailed ideas for every inquiry I had! I would recommend her without a hesitation to plan your wedding in Santa Barbara!
