    Fantastic Family Business!

    We hired Morgan and Chris right off the bat after our first initial phone conversation due to their energy and happy demeanor. They offered a fair price and worked with us every step of the way and always exuded confidence and excitement! We really couldn't have asked for a better team. On the day of our wedding, they made us feel like guests at our own wedding and ensured it was effortless and without a single hiccup. You can't go wrong with this team, we wish them and their family all the happiness.

    My life savers

    Planning a wedding from 2000 miles away in a city you’ve only visited once would have been impossible for me without Chris and Morgan. They helped us plan every single detail from venue on down. They rolled with all of the changes that inevitably came along and helped us adapt our event to meet our expectations. It ended up being perfect. On the day of the wedding I was able to relax and have a blast rather than worry about details. I felt like it was a party that someone else planned and I got to show up and party. During the wedding they made sure I stayed fed and comfortable. It was a perfect experience!!

    Attentive and quick to respond

    If you are loking for a team of professionals to handle your wedding, I recommend Diamonds and Pearls! Morgan and her team provided me with amazing service and a reliable network of resources. I could never have done it by myself.

    Reliable, creative, and a great team!

    Chris and Morgan went above and beyond to make our day so so special. They were so attentive the entire planning period and always made themselves available for all of our questions and concerns.

    Simply the best!

    Chris and Morgan were awesome! I could not imagine our special day without them. They had everything organized and if anything did go wrong we didn't know it. Hiring a day of coordinator was the best decision we made and well worth it. They made sure all the little details that I didn't think about were addressed before the big day. They also helped me find vendors that were reputable and affordable. If you have been debating on hiring a day of coordinator, just do it! You won't regret it

    Morgan was a wonderful wedding planner. In the midst of our wedding planning, her husband, Chris, became her business partner, and together, they provided a seamless team from beginning to end. We appreciated all of their attention to detail, from each vendor, each with a long list, and when the beautiful day came, even our guests commented about how caring and thoughtful they were, and how well attended each of them felt by the team of Morgan and Chris. We highly recommend them, and would be happy to speak further about them if they wish.

    Diamonds and pearls is coordinating my March 18 wedding. They are attentive to my needs, super fast on responses to emails and texts. They understand that it's my wedding and my dream and they compliment that, not try to force their dreams and ideas on my wedding. So far, I'm extremely impressed with their services and will recommend them to any bride looking! ??

    Morgan was worth every penny! I have been in upper retail management for over 25 years so I’m a tough person to deal with when it come to expections and wanting everything to go perfect, and she exceeded my expectations! We worked together for about 9 months on my 40th vow renewal and it was everything I wanted, she listen to my vision and understood exactly what I was asking for! I highly recommend her for any event.

    I cannot say enough about the quality of service, professionalism, caring attitude, and overall willingness to go the extra mile that I have experienced while working with Morgan. She has taken my vision -- and then some-- and has created my dream wedding.

    I can't imagine my wedding day without Morgan. She is such a great help! She did her job very well on the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner invites! On my wedding day we were late in the ceremony but she did a great job on technical issues. She did a fantastic job on erasing my fears and worries. And of course her husband Chris was a good DJ. He's got a great voice, he might not have that DJ vibe, but he is cool and awesome!

    Not what we hoped for

    Morgan and her husband are very nice people, unfortunately they were not the wedding planners we had hoped for. To summarize, our wedding was a ~350 guest traditional Indian wedding. The day of our wedding we hoped that we could give our family a break and have our coordinators take charge of things, that didn't happen. A timeline was put together but was not executed (e.g. I was rounding up my family during the reception for our entrance, during my husband's entrance the DJ was running behind and the coordinator said "I emailed them the timeline"). Due to personal reasons, Morgan was unable to be there on the actual wedding day. She was the only one with experience with a large Indian wedding. Chris and another new intern (who never had experience with weddings, let alone an Indian wedding) were there but other vendors and family members rarely recall them doing things. I will not discredit the things they did help us with (vendors for tables/chairs, alcohol counts) but the things they did not do overshadow the things they did do. Fortunately, there were no big hiccups. I wish this team well and I hope they can take the feedback my husband and I have emailed them and improve their services.

    Big Talkers, Under-performers

    At our first meeting, Chris and Morgan made me feel like they’d have it all under control and that they’d go above and beyond for my wedding, but that wasn’t the case. They did most of the things they said would, but me, my husband and our families felt like it was subpar. They were hired after I’d already picked out my venues and photographer, so they only had to help with smaller details and finding vendors. This may be long, but it’s detailed to give you the full picture.

    They were optimistic and always made it seem like they could give me anything I asked for, but didn’t deliver. They did email us vendor & pricing info for some DJs and transportation, but we found our own. We did use their suggested decor vendor, which I was told by Chris we’d get a discount on, but never did. They suggested 1 hotel to block rooms at, but when I asked them to reach out to another hotel, they never followed up or even reached out to the hotel, so I had to do it myself. They said they’d book the cake tasting, so I gave them the date 2 months in advance and they never called to set it up, so I did that as well. When the day came to go to the tasting, which Chris said they’d be there for, they never showed up or communicated that they weren’t coming. Five days passed and I HAD TO CALL THEM to see what happened and his excuse was Morgan was in the hospital and he got a new phone so the calendar must’ve not transferred everything. Morgan is the head planner and she has health issues so she wasn’t around very often. Most the communication was with Chris who seemed overwhelmed.

    Being that it was only November 2019 and the wedding was in February 2020, I was going to find new planners after that, but Chris stepped up and reached out to see if I needed help. A month before the wedding I called and texted to have them coordinate somethings with ceremony venue and after 2 days of no contact from them (which is a problem since they told us before they have phone issues), I decided to look for new planners. My mom talked to them and calmed me down since the wedding was so close and I decided to stick with them. I should’ve stuck to my gut because low and behold, Chris called me around 4pm the day before my wedding to tell me Morgan was in the hospital and wouldn’t be able to make it! I had two separate venues so she was going to set up the reception venue while he did the ceremony, but he assured me that his mother in law would set it up to the best of her abilities. Though we were overjoyed on our day and had a good time, it was definitely not a low stress situation as it should’ve been being that we had 2 wedding planners.

    Dealing with Chris and Morgan made me feel like I should’ve hired a day of coordinator, or a different wedding planner all together because the planning was all on me. I’d give them 2 stars for the effort they put in, but due to the stress and panic I felt most days dealing with my simple wedding, I wouldn’t recommend them. They are big talkers, but they sold themselves short.
