Sweet Tea Events

Diane is a rare, magical find. Planning a wedding for your only daughter while living in another state is not a stress free endeavor unless you have the greatest wedding coordinator to bring it all together. We are so grateful for Diane’s calm demeanor, attention to detail, suggestions and her endless patience with parents who ask a LOT of questions. (Because we didn’t know what we didn’t know.) We highly recommend Sweet Tea for so many reasons but mainly because our daughter’s dreams came true for a perfect wedding day.

I contacted Sweet Tea Events looking for a day-of coordinator, and Diane did not disappoint. I was planning my wedding from outside of the state, and Diane was able to assist me in securing local vendors, as well as work with my timeline and specific requests. Diane's team coordinated directly with all the vendors and provided them with updates and timelines leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, her team was magical - they set up everything that needed to be set up and kept everyone on schedule. I was impressed by the level of detail they provided; they ensured the bride and groom had food and even assisted the wedding party in processing down the aisle. Like the stagehands at a Broadway show, they knew their stuff and made everything feel effortless while working tirelessly behind the scenes. I 10000000000000% recommend their services, especially if you want to enjoy your wedding day.

This was obviously not the first Rodeo for Sweet Tea Events, and Diane Bahrdi actually had two wedding events happening on this same day and I think we were smaller of the two with around 135 actual attendees. It was the experience of her and her incredible team that made our son's wedding the best event ever! Having knowledge of venue, and quite a few alternate vendor contacts for us to choose from, along with options she thought we might be interested in, and ways for us to find value in the program - really worked wonders for our wedding. According to my husband's notebook, we wound up with a dozen or so contracts and escaped at a cost of just under $25K that was honestly some of the best money we've ever spent!! The venue was spectacular, photographers were the best in Tallahassee, Food by the caterer she recommended to us from Thomasville, GA, was second to none and everyone was just enamored by it!! Then we also had a DJ, stylist & makeup artist she recommended, bartenders, sources of our table clothes, flowers, signs, invitations and custom vended goods. Everything all the way down to the bar stock and it's location in room for best effect. I mean, who would have ever thought that a wedding was this involved or required this level of advance preparation & planning - certainly not us! So, if you are looking for someone who's prepared and a life saver then its Sweet Tea Events that is your entity. We both recommend them highly!!

We could not have been more pleased hiring Sweet Tea Events to help plan our wedding. Diane from Sweet Tea was our wedding coordinator and she could not have been more professional and easy to work with. She not only made our planning process so much easier but she also was incredibly detail oriented which helped make everything on our wedding day run very smoothly. We could not have been more pleased using Sweet Tea Events and was truly the best decision we made. This company takes the role of wedding coordinator/planning very seriously and you will not be disappointed! It was truly worth every penny.

Working with Diane was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We hired her as a day-of coordinator and did the primary planning ourselves, but she provided suggestions for vendors and answered all of our questions leading up to the event. As the wedding got closer, she and her team contacted all of our vendors to coordinate schedules and it made the day so easy for me and my husband since we had walked through everything with her ahead of time. She was very personable and easy to communicate with! She was also incredibly organized and on the day of the wedding all we had to do was relax and enjoy! I am a pretty detail-oriented person and am not used to handing the reins over to someone else, especially for such an important event, but I don't regret it for one second! We were able to actually enjoy the day rather than wrangling all the vendors and worrying about staying on schedule ourselves, so I would 100% recommend Diane to anyone wanting that for their wedding day.

We are so thankful for Diane and her team. We planned a wedding out of town and while finishing nursing school. She made it so easy and the wedding day was absolutely perfect. She knows vendors personally and works with them often. She even has a collection of her own decorations to use. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone planning a wedding.

Diane is absolutely wonderful and so very helpful for all things wedding planning! She was very responsive to us and knew exactly what we wanted after just one meeting. Her team was phenomenal on our wedding day, making all my wedding dreams come true! I had not a single worry that day. I was able to enjoy every second knowing that every detail was taken care of. Thank you Diane & everyone who helped us that day!

Diane Bardhi was referred to us thru our venue representative. Diane’s attention to detail, competence, friendliness and professionalism were unparalleled. We were so impressed. I’m a hands on person but wanted to relax and enjoy our special day. I had full confidence in Diane and I was not disappointed. She handled everything perfectly. She was worth every penny! I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone getting married. She was simply invaluable to us.

Diane at Sweet Tea Events was attentive and professional from the start. She listened to my daughter's vision for her wedding and matched us with the appropriate vendors. She replied to my emails (and there were many - ha!) in a very timely fashion. When it came time for the day of, she and her team executed the reception design plan seamlessly and were there for us every step of the way. Not sure what we would have done without an excellent coordinator. Thank you Diane for ALL your help to make our family's day so special and memorable :)

When I first met Diane, I knew her experience and services were exactly what I was looking for! My wedding was May 11, the day after the tornado hit Tallahassee, and her team was a big relief! I hated to make last minute decisions and I'm sure I forgot things because of the change up, but Sweet Tea Events had perfect professionalism and optimism. I could focus on my groom instead of stressing. I heartily recommend them!
