    What can I say? Diane and the team at Covenant Weddings and Occasions are THE BEST!

    My wedding day was perfect, and I didn't have a care in the world on the day (Sept. 16, 2016).

    Even as someone in the wedding industry, initially, I was overwhelmed with ideas, decisions, vendor isssues, and money. Jackie was my voice of reason and kept me calm, always saying "we got you". While Diane knew how to orchestrate and make the plan work to perfection. These two ladies worked late hours and made themselves available whenever I needed them.
    I can't tell you how reassuring it was on the day to know they were in charge. My family and bridesmaids kept asking what they needed to do, and my response was "nothing CWO will take care of it"....and they did! Wedding day assistant Ciara, was awesome. I would see her out of the corner of my eye moving around ensuring everything was in order, and even acting as the heavy when she had to.
    It brings tears to my eyes to think of all that they did for me and my husband on our wedding day.
    Here's my interpretation of who Covenant Weddings and Occasions were to me during my wedding process:

    God sent his angels when it was time, he sent his angels to adorn and make beautiful my path of a straight line, they organized the room and the others who played a part, and prepared the way for me to walk to the man HE sent to care for me and my heart.

    So blessed and thankful for Covenant Weddings and Occasions
    Newlywed,
    Mrs. F

    Absolutely Amazing!

    It's often said, " you're wedding will not go as planned, so just expect the unexpected." Well that was just simply not the case! Our wedding was absolutely PERFECT and was a true reflection of the direction, leadership and expertise of Mrs. Diane George and her Gladiator Squad!

    She blessed our hearts with her pleasant and kind spirit and made our wedding dream come to life. From our first meeting, she exhibited an attentive ear by listening to our relationship story and offering planning suggestions without forcing her vision on our special day. "It's your wedding," she would often say, which displayed her desire to to have us involved in the decision making process and not feel pressured to include wedding elements that did not speak to our relationship.
    Although her services are requested with high demand, she was always responsive and available to chat.
    On our wedding day, her team exhibited the highest level of professionalism and order which we believe aided in the seamless flow of the day.
    We were beyond pleased with our experiences and highly recommend the services provided by Covenant Weddings and Occasions.

    As the mother of the bride, I can say with full conviction, my husband, daughter and I were more than pleased with the services provided by Covenant Weddings. From our first meeting to the end of the wedding day celebration, Diane's services were professional, courteous, creative, timely and supremely superior.
    Diane thinks and thought of everything. She has a varied and vast selection of vendors from which to choose, makes the right recommendation based on your vision and your budget; and always delivered her services with a warm, sincere smile.
    Our wedding guests were impressed with Diane's execution the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Covenent Weddings and Diane's newest venture, Covenent Occassions for your special event. If you use Diane's services, you will be glad you did!!!

    Diane George and her team are fabulous! My wedding was in the DMV, however, I live in Houston so much of the planning process was done from afar. I couldn't have done it without Covenant Weddings. Diane was a pleasure to work with and I had total trust and confidence in her. She was responsive, flexible, fun, thorough, and was a great advocate for me with my vendors. I would absolutely recommend Covenant Weddings for your event!

    Could NOT have planned my wedding without Diane. My fiancé and I started the process on our own by trying to select a venue, which we successfully did, but after that process I knew I needed help. We both had very busy schedules. My family was on the other side of the country. I knew I did not have the time or connections to plan this wedding on my own. I went with the best friend package and I can say Diane really does become your best friend during the process. I wish I had something to plan, just to have a reason to call her on a regular basis. Her connections and recommendations for vendors was the most invaluable thing she could offer. It really paid off to have someone on your side that has been in the business for as long as she has.
    The reason I chose Diane and Covenant Weddings is because I had never planned a wedding before and wanted to make sure that it went as close to perfect as possible. I was looking for someone who would be comfortable enough to tell me which idea I had was a good one or not. I trusted Diane would and could do that for me, which I appreciated. I did not want a "Yes" person. However, this is not to say that if you want something that a vendor is unwilling to negotiate, that you do not have the best advocate in your corner.
    I cannot say enough good things about the company and cannot give Diane enough thanks for making the process and most importantly my wedding day the best it could have been!

    Great job, great service, Diane did an amazing job with my wedding. She worked with me throughout the process and was hands on with the 30 day walk through, rehearsal and the day of. Assistants worked hard and did a great job as well. Through the rain (quick change to indoor cocktail hour), Diane worked with all vendors to ensure all went well. Thank you!

    Covenant Weddings was extremely professional and friendly. They made planning my wedding a seamless and enjoyable process. Diane made me feel like I was the only bride that she was working with which made it a pleasure to work with her.

    I would recommend Covenant Weddings to any bride.

    Thanks again for everything!

    Working with Mrs. Diane from Covenant Weddings & Occasions was a breath of fresh air. As a bride I was looking for a wedding coordinator who was experienced, detailed, encouraging, helpful, resourceful and kind hearted. Mrs. Diane posses all of these characteristics and more.
    To rewind time back to when I first met with Mrs. Diane, as any bride I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect meeting yet another wedding coordinator but Mrs. Diane was unique. Within one hour of meeting her she was able to grasp the concept of our wedding, create a budget, break down the month to month “to-do list”, identify priorities and learn not only my personality but my husbands as well. I can remember having a blast in her office just brainstorming ideas and watching her create a plan so that those ideas can come to life. During the course of planning she was the calm to my storm when I was frustrated, she prayed for my union and only spoke positively. When my husband and I failed to reach our “monthly goals” she reassured us that it was okay, encouraged us to keep going and that everything will fall into place.
    As a client I could go on and on about the greatness of Mrs Diane’s work ethic, but I dare you to try her out for yourself. I promise you will not be disappointed and will receive an overflow of blessings just as we did on our special day!!

    I have to say I really don’t know what I would have done without Diane. I had a vision and love to plan events but, I found it difficult to plan my wedding. I second guessed every decision but when I hired Diane she made me confident and really helped me streamline my choices. She was very helpful with making my vision a reality. She has a large list of vendors at a variety of price ranges. I loved the fact that she went to all my appointments and was available at all times by phone. My wedding stated on time and everything went to plan. It was organized, elegant, and classic and if there was something that went wrong I didn’t know it. I had a beautiful and romantic day. I want to thank her for making my dream come true.

    My husband and I were blessed to win a FREE wedding which included Diane George of Covenant Weddings as a wedding coordinator. Since a coordinator wasn’t in our budget, we hadn’t planned on hiring one and we really didn’t know what to expect from her at first. Well, we quickly found out how extra blessed we were to have Diane George as our coordinator. We weren’t forced to work with her, but once I had a phone conversation with Diane I knew that we were going to work well together. The work that she does on behalf of the bride and groom is impeccable, from contacting vendors, scheduling and attending appointments, following-up with vendors, and much more beyond your expectations All-in-all she made our process easier and less stressful for sure. Diane is easily accessible via phone or email, day and night, and is quick to respond. It was to a point that we felt like we were the only couple she was working with, which we know wasn’t the case.  She answered all of our questions, and we had a lot! As with anything, there can be some miscommunication with vendors, and Diane would fight/advocate on our behalf as she could for what was right and fair based on what we were told would be provided. With a free wedding you would think that everything would have been smooth and easy, but there were some bumps along the way and Diane was there to assist us during those times. As a bride I wanted and was fortunate enough to have a very involved groom. There were times that he would talk to Diane before I would. So she is more than willing to work with your grooms with any questions they may have along the way as well. Our wedding day was beautiful and of course some minor things happened that we were able to laugh with Diane about later. However, she was good about not letting me know anything so that I would not be stressed on wedding day, and for that I’m thankful. We also can’t submit this review without acknowledging her staff that also assists in making the wedding day go smooth. My husband would like to especially thank them as they decorated our wedding night suite to perfection as a surprise to me.
    Lastly, we have learned that if you are looking for a wedding coordinator you should click with him/her on a personal level to ensure that wedding day and everything up to that point is relatively flawless. Diane is a very professional, yet fun and loving person and we can say that after this process she is and will continue to be a friend. For example, we made sure that she was invited to our rehearsal dinner as a guest, not the wedding coordinator, so she could meet our closest family and friends, and we also presented her with a gift as a token of appreciation along with our bridal party. THANKS COVENANT WEDDINGS!

    Diane George and her staff at Covenant Weddings exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Diane is very professional and responsive at all times. She also is very helpful with suggesting the best vendors for my venue such as the photographer, and videographer. Diane and I communicated on a daily basis via phone and/or email about my vision and how things were going especially since I lived 2 hours away from the Washington, D.C. area. There were times where I was emotionally and mentally stressed and overwhelmed just thinking about the wedding. My desire was to have my dream wedding executed and for everything to be perfect, and to run smoothly on my day and thats exactly what happened. As I stated previously, she's always there to listen by giving me her undivided attention and time as needed. I really felt that Diane made me feel like we were best of friends and she always supported me and my ideas which at times I would make changes to my vision along the way and she was very understanding and patient. Diane always told me that I deserve to get what I want because it's my day and I am the Bride.. With that said, I truly can say that Diane is a genius at what she does, and I have a best friend for life. I would certainly highly recommend Covenant Weddings for any Bride in the process of planning their special day. They are "THE BEST" in the industry.

    From a Groom perspective I will tell you that Diane will ensure that the Bride is happy every step of the way so that I could sleep at night and be stress free during the day. In addition, Diane assisted and coordinated a special surprise I had for my new Bride on our special day. She also met me 3 hours prior to the Wedding to assist me with selecting the a gift for my new Bride to open that day. Simply stated, "happy wife, happy life" which is appropriate if Covenant Weddings is planning your special day. Thanks Diane, we love you.

    My wife and I were married in July 2010, and Mrs. Diane George of Covenant Weddings was our coordinator. I'm assuming most grooms/husbands don't write these reviews, but I would be remise if I didn't speak to the superb service and professionalism Diane brings to her work. We had the true blessing of winning a FREE wedding and had Diane as our coordinator. Honestly, I feel like we stole. She was remarkable in every sense of the word. At no point in time did she make us feel like we were getting a free (aka below standard) service; she went above and beyond our expectations. And to my fellas out there (yes ladies, please share this review with your grooms because I know they aren't reading this site), Diane helps you through the process, making it fun and relatively painless. You are sure to have a better appreciation for what it takes to make your wedding day (because it's yours too, sort of) a special/memorable one for your bride. ;-)

    Diane was the event planner for our June 2012 wedding. Besides being warm and jovial, Diane was always responsive --responding to emails and phone calls immediately -- timely, and dependable. Within days of our first meeting, she gave us a customized budget and schedule. She also went above and beyond in resolving any issues with vendors and in accompanying me to vendor meetings. We always felt we were in capable hands and that she had our best interests in mind. She also introduced us to some wonderful vendors within our budget. The result was a fabulous event. People still remark about beautiful and well organized our wedding was.

    Diane made our special day as stress-free as it could be. I can't imagine what would've happened without her there to give us guidance every step of the way: from gifts for the wedding party to referrals for the lighting company. Diane and her team took care of me and my wedding party and let us know exactly what we needed to do and where to stand, how to walk...everything! Thank you so much for making our wedding so special!!!

    I first stumbled across Covenant Weddings LLC through a search on the internet. I was automatically impressed with the website especially the pictures of other weddings Diane had coordinated. I was also quite impressed with her credentials. My then fianc? and I fell in love with Diane from the moment we met her. Her enthusiasm for weddings was contagious! We left our initial meeting extremely excited and ready to move forward with planning our wedding. Throughout the entire year that we worked with Diane we never once questioned her recommendations. She understood our vision, budget, and addressed any questions or concerns we had. I can say without a doubt that Diane has some great connections. The professional relationship that she has built over the years allowed us to work with some of the best vendors in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. My husband, my mom, and I all agree that our rehearsal as well as the wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did without Diane and her staff's assistance. The day of, her team was extremely professional and took charge at the church coordinating the flowers, musicians, and bridal party. I will never forgot the moment my husband and I got a chance to view the reception site completely decorated. It took our breath away. We felt as though we were looking at a picture out of In style Weddings!! Ten months later we still receive compliments about how fantastic and fun our wedding was. The best decision we ever made was to hire Covenant Weddings LLC to coordinate our wedding!!

    The consultant has the most warm and pleasant spirit. Very helpful with ideas regarding the entire wedding from start to finish! Covenant Weddings consultant came in and saved the wedding by assisting with wedding rehearsal, decorations, day of coordination and the actual entire wedding. My husband and I are so blessed by their performance... I will definitely use them again and again.

    Great Experience

    I had a great experience. The ladies were very organized and kept my husband and I on track. They came to all the necessary appointments. I felt like they were invested in my wedding being a success, and because of them it was. I would highly recommend these great ladies.

    I interviewed four wedding planners last year and chose Diane George of Covenant Weddings. She had everything; the experience, professionalism and the personality! Diane was wonderful to work with throughout the year, and she worked diligently to ensure that all I envisioned for my special day was a reality. On the day of my wedding, she and her staff made sure that everything ran smoothly. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner!
