We used Jim and Darlene for our day of coordinators. They were recommended by our venue and I'm so glad we went with them! They did more than just day of, they helped create our timeline and keep all our vendor information together starting months before the wedding. They also ran our rehearsal which went very smoothly. The day of the wedding they organized everything and made sure all details were perfect. It all looked amazing! And the entire event ran very smoothly. The timeline they put together was perfect and kept everything flowing nicely. Would highly recommend to anyone getting married in the Napa area

I had the honor of having Jim as the officiant of my wedding. From the start, his professionalism and thoroughness were evident as he walked us through the entire process, from collaborating on the ceremony script to writing our vows to obtaining our marriage license.

Jim also made the effort to drive down to the Bay Area, showing how important it was for him to get to know us personally so he could create a ceremony tailored for us. He was easy to reach whenever we had questions and happily accommodated any suggestions we had, often helping us come up with even better ideas.

Jim kept a great pace, inserted humor appropriately without going over the top, and ensured the ceremony was the right length to keep everyone engaged.

Jim was wonderful to work with, a true professional, a kind man, and a fantastic officiant. We were truly happy to have him officiate our wedding.

We hired Darlene to be our Day of Coordinator and honestly could not have dreamed of a better person (or team because her husband Jim is also part of the package) to oversee the operations of our wedding! Our family is very vocal about everything, and from the very first meeting Darlene handled them with the appropriate tone and level set how this relationship would work. My father-in-law was very negative about hiring a planner in general and walked away from that meeting thrilled that I chose her and knew she was the perfect person to handle anything that came up. What I absolutely loved about working with Darlene and Jim was that they treated my husband and I like family. Jim's level of detail for table layouts was spot on and they were open to other ideas that we felt suited us better. Darlene even suggested things that I wanted and worked it out with the venue so we could have and at no additional expense. She is a rock and a must have for a bride! They protected us from whatever issues were happening around us and they followed our wishes to make sure our day was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Weddings by Darlene, you are getting way more with them than just a planner!
