    Perfect Wedding Planner

    As the bride without a clue what I wanted, Covenant Weddings was exactly what I needed. Mrs. George and her staff were full of ideas and experience to guide us to a beautiful wedding. Communication with Mrs, George and her staff was honest, professional and as often as we needed. No detail was overlooked or went unanswered. She and her staff are the reason wedding planners are needed creating wonderful wedding experiences.

    A HUGE thank you to Ms. Diane and team! They made the impossible possible for my sister's wedding! They were all very attentive and didn't skip a beat. The wedding flowed perfectly and there was no detail left out. I told Ms. Diane when I get married I'm going to need her and her team to do the same for me! Thank you so much for caring being there and caring for your clients! I obviously would HIGHLY recommend!

    Wonderful Experience

    Would absolutely recommend Covenant Weddings! Diane runs the shop and was very knowledgeable about weddings in general. From vendor recommendations to wedding advice/etiquette information, Diane always had an answer or suggestion. Her deep experience allowed us to trust her with our vision and it paid off in the end. :) Diane and her team ensured the day ran smoothly and were extremely professional (even keeping everyone on point during rehearsals!).

    Early on, she helped us map out a budget and planning schedule which helped highlight things we would've never thought of. She also had a number of handy "things to purchase/bring" lists that helped ensure nothing was forgotten.

    Moreover, we had an interfaith wedding (Christian and Jewish) and Diane was still able to help make our day magical while being considerate of how we wanted to interweave both faiths.

    Have to reemphasize, Diane's vendor recommendations--all were stellar and we ended up using most. All were professional/reasonably priced and seemed to have a great relationship with Diane which worked really well for the outcome of the wedding. Overall, couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner :).

    Amazing Planners and Coordinators

    Our New Year's Day Wedding was a hit, thanks to the team at Covenant Weddings. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Janice & Chantel for our wedding. We paid for the day-of coordination package, but the team went above and beyond! Janice and Chantel helped me to stay organized during this process, and they truly made the planning experience unique and unforegettable. Their team also did a great day at our wedding. Our guests felt like they were in a movie. I love that this company is flexible on modern wedding trends and always honest. They executed the modern wedding vision that I had beautifully. I highly recommend this company. I also referred them out to my friends who are currently planning their upcoming nuptials.

    An amazing partner throughout the wedding planning process!

    Wedding planning can be a stressful and complicated time- but having Diane by my side made things a LOT more enjoyable. From the moment we met to until the end of my reception, Diane was constantly available to answer all my questions and fend off stressors. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and eye for detail made our wedding day the best day ever. Highly recommend!

    Great Experience!

    Diane’s execution on our wedding day was flawless! She was there with us throughout the entire planning process and helped make our day run smoothly. We can’t say one thing that was out of place and we heavily contribute that to Diane’s expertise. We highly recommend her to any bride and groom!

    DMV’s Best Planner!

    I want to thank you for having Rodney and me as your clients turned friends. This has been one of the most challenging undertakings yet your professionalism, expertise and profound knowledge in this industry made things smooth for us. What I love the most was getting to know you and your value of tradition. I am too grateful for how you introduced me to the normalities of how things are done here.

    I appreciate you and am truly grateful for all your kinds words, the late calls, and most importantly how you kept me together when I was overwhelmed.

    Again, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!

    Truly a Lifesaver

    When my husband and I first got engaged we were both students with jobs, and during covid we had no idea where to start with planning. Neither of us are from the area so Diane's vendor referrals were wonderful.

    A Dream Wedding

    Diane George and the Covenant Weddings team are amazing. As the Father of the Bride, I was determined to find someone who could make my daughter’s dream of a flawless and magical wedding day come true. Covenant Weddings not only made our dream come true but they exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail, large and small, was evident throughout the planning process. Diane's referrals for wedding vendors (photographer, florist, videographer, DJ, caterer, etc) were excellent. They were all very professional and pleasant to work with. One of our most favorable impressions of Diane and the Covenant team was their professionalism on the day of the wedding. An outdoor ceremony was planned but the weather did not cooperate. When the rain came, Diane and her team flawlessly executed a Plan B that was equally pleasing. The Covenant team was calm, deliberate, reassuring and in total control of the moment. Families on both sides continue to tell us how much they enjoyed the entire wedding experience and thanks to Diane and the Covenant team, it will be a day we will cherish forever.

    The Best Decision Ever for our Black Tie pandemic wedding!

    We can say so much about Ms. Diane. For starters she’s reliable, resourceful & professional. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable. Along the way, she taught us wedding etiquette and how to save money when it came to our vendors. We called her almost everyday with questions and concerns and she delivered. Our original wedding date was May 15, 2020. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, our wedding plans were derailed so we had to post-pone until May 15, 2021. She remained professional and supportive through the whole process. We couldn’t thank her enough for the job well done. Even her team was awesome and professional. She is worth every penny and we plan to use her services again for other events. We highly recommend her 🖤

    Excellent Wedding Consultant

    Diane was a wonderful wedding consultant! I had to postpone my wedding from 2020 to 2021 and she worked with me to shrink and re-conceptualize it due to the pandemic. She also helped me manage my relatives by sharing her expertise around what was reasonable and current wedding trends. She patiently listened to my wedding stress laments and helped find solutions for problems I encountered. She has rosters of vendors that she has worked with and I picked many based on her recommendations. They did not disappoint. Everyone did their job beautifully. Diane helped me pull off a flawless wedding day!

    Elena & Marty November 2019

    Dear Diane George,

    Even though our wedding was many months ago, people are still telling me what a fantastic time they had! My husband and I can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work in helping us plan and coordinate our wedding. Your checklists and timelines made sure every detail was addressed (and made my parents very happy to see that we were staying on schedule  ). With my parents living so far away, I personally was so grateful that you always made time to answer all of my crazy questions, provide sage advice, and refer me to professionals and businesses that did an outstanding job. Thank you for going with us to all the meetings, tastings and walk throughs and for reviewing our save the dates, invitations, and programs. Your expert eye made sure we made excellent decisions that set the tone for an elegant, fun and heartfelt wedding and reception. During the rehearsal, it was so reassuring to have you there to provide specific instructions about every detail of the ceremony and reception.
    On the day of the wedding, you and your staff coordinated the millions of moving pieces to make sure my wedding day was one I will never forget. You and your staff gave my husband and me a priceless gift. We were able to live in the present and thoroughly enjoy our day without having to worry about details and timelines. Even the day after the wedding, you still made time to answer my questions and help me with concerns. We can’t thank you enough and wish you all the best from the bottom of our hearts.

    Incredible

    If i could use one word to describe them I would say INCREDIBLE. They handled our day with love with care with precision and joy. They treated our Big Day like there own. We had a difficult time with our venue and they were right there to handle the situation and smooth any roadblocks or wrinkles so we could have the day that we wanted. They worked with us throughout the entire process offering suggestions for concerns logistical hiccups, suggesting amazing vendors from an extended list of contacts and partners at a variety of price points and then beautifully placing every little detail for the reception just how we imagined if not better. I could not have seen my vision come to life without Janice and Chantel and I would tell anyone who asks that they need them as well. They will just make your day amazing. Thank you so much Chantel Janice and CWO.

    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.

    Best decision ever!

    Hiring a wedding coordinator is a good decision for a bride to make in the process of planning a wedding and hiring Diane is was definitely one of the best decision I made to assist me and ensure my wedding day was seamless. When I first contacted Diane she immediately put me at ease. I scheduled some time to speak with her in person to discuss my needs and my vision. She took her time explaining the process and how her and her team would execute the day of coordination and answered all of my questions. I immediately connected with Diane, I felt like I had known her for years. After the initial consultation I felt a heavy weight lifted off of my shoulders and knew I had made the right decision. Even with planning every detail on my own for my wedding there were things that I had not thought of and this is where Diane's expertise and professionalism really kicked in. Diane provided me with a detailed wedding timeline that kept me on track 3 months prior to my day. She contacted all of my vendors and reviewed all of my vendor contracts to make sure I was receiving the best service at the contracted price. On my wedding day Diane and her team were amazing. I did not have to worry about anything. Their execution was flawless and I received so many complaints from my guest stating that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. So to sum it up you wouldn't go to court without the best lawyer to defend you, you wouldn't go to a fast food restaurant to get filet mignon, so you shouldn't entrust one of the most important days of your life without Diane by your side.

    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.

    Came to my rescue!

    Diane was absolutely a pleasure to work with! Though I was excited to plan my wedding , I was too busy with a new baby and hectic job to focus on all of the details of planning. In working with Diane, not only was a tremendous amount of stress alleviated, but I gained a good support and friend in the process of planning my wedding. All of her vendor contacts that I worked with were very talented and professional people. I’m still getting compliments a month after my wedding. And I didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of either! I’d highly recommend her to anyone I know who is getting married...even if they don’t think they need a planner and day-of-coordinator.

    If you think you can’t afford a wedding planner or day of coordinator, think again! You can! And you should hire Diane George of Covenant Weddings. They are simply the best! We had no plans to hire a planner or coordinator, but after recognizing the overwhelming task of helping my daughter plan her wedding, we contacted her. She had coordinated a fabulous wedding we attended earlier last year, so she came with a super referral. In our first conversation before we agreed to sign up with her she listened to my woes, provided sound counsel, asked pertinent questions, and showed a sense of humor that let me know that it was all going to be alright. Only after I asked, did she mention her wedding packages and we signed up for the day-of-coordination. I found her rates to be far more reasonable than others I had researched and her payment plan very flexible. Honestly, I felt that after our first conversation I had already received my money’s worth. Although she was supposed to be the DOC, she was available to us throughout the entire planning process, helping us to stay on course. With her expert planning and timeline, the wedding day went off without a hitch. She coordinated with all vendors to be in place on the big day and all vendors reported to her and contacted her with any issues. She and her staff are like a stealth SWAT team. For the most part, we didn’t really see much of them during the day, but everything seemed to flow like seamlessly and effortlessly! To be sure, they were easily accessible by phone and made sure to check in as needed. My daughter, the bride, said at the end of the day, that she hadn’t really seen much of Diane and her crew during the day and I replied, that’s because they were like guardian angels protecting us from all the hassles and woes of the day and just making sure that the day was magical! I highly recommend Diane George and Covenant Weddings and would use them again in a heartbeat.

    My husband and I are so very grateful for Chantel, Jackie and Janice. Words cannot express how blessed we are to have had them work with us for our 05/26/ wedding. I booked them before we were officially engaged and it was the best decision we made. We ended up changing our venue from DC to PA and the team was able to accomodate us and make trips to the new venue and coordinate every aspect of our wedding. I had selected the day of package and the services provided were above and beyond, they had weekly conference calls to keep us on track, assisted in etiquette reviews for things like invitations, created the timeline and order of reception and coordinated and organized all the vendor logisticis and information. At one point I was going crazy trying to figure out last minute things like the linen order and they told me to chill because they've got it handled! That was exactly what I needed to hear because on the wedding day, they took the worry of my shoulders and my family and I are so grateful for all they did between monitoring the weather, dealing with a not so easy to work with venue and keeping everything on schedule. There is no way we could have pulled off our wedding without their help and knowledge; they are truly experts and gifted in their roles. The best part of the process was having their faith in Christ be a part of their work and it showed in every vendor interaction and email and phone call. Wedding planning is so stressful and the CW team kept us calm and allowed my husband and family to enjoy our wedding day and not worry, all we had to do was show up and get married! My favorite part of the process was the prayer circle during the rehearsal because I knew this day meant as much to them as it did to us; I will never forget the amazing wedding they coordinated for us and consider them our friends now and not vendors.
