A bright and collaborative experience with Dina

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 a dream come true!

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"

The best friend and wedding coordinator you could ask for

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.
