  I have to say Diane is the best!!!! Not only is her work ethic fabulous, she is a kind, sweet person. I was extremely satisfied with her service at my wedding. I had a good size wedding at the beach. If something goes wrong then she will fix it. I had an outdoor wedding ceremony on the beach and with my good luck it started rain. We heard it was going to rain a week prior. I emailed the hotel and they said usually when it says its going to rain it just passes over and not to worry. Mind you, it was sunny all week. Well, 15 minutes prior to the wedding ceremony it wasn't just raining, it was down pouring and so were my tears lol! I had to make a really tough decision which she helped me with. I really didn't want the ceremony inside the reception area. All the guests happened to be a little late arriving and it gave us opportune time to see if the rain would stop and it did. Diane rounded everybody up to the ceremony site outside. I got my beautiful beach ceremony and it was all fun after that. She kept with the schedule and all the vendors were great and on time. I just wish it didn't go by so fast, it was amazing and perfect! I received many compliments from guest after about how my wedding was the best and how much fun everyone had. Best day of our lives, and I'm so glad it was Diane to make our wedding day perfect.

  Event Wedding Planning's reply:

  Thank you Haley for such wonderful words! - I loved every second working with you! And OMG! It was extremely heartbreaking for me, to bear "pouring rain news" to you, especially while you were getting your makeup on - that was the HARDEST decisions I had to make that day; to have to tell you we'd have to move indoors... However, I am soo thankful someone heard your prayers and the clouds quickly departed - It was pretty amazing how that worked out!
  I am just soo grateful to have worked with you on such a special day, I truly loved working with you and your entire family! I will never forget your wedding! Cheers to you! - Diane

  Diane went above and beyond, her ideas, professionalism and hard work really paid off.... she even brought sheers to trim the plants around the venue because the professional gardener on site didn't do his job up to her expectations. Our event went very smooth she really knows her stuff ! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

  Ohhhh.. Alex - You are too funny & sweet! Your wedding was "Exciting"! The Mansion was crazy & beautiful, despite the landscaping, of course. However, being the speedy problem solver I am, I knew at rehearsal those dreadful dead plants and dead flowers needed to GO! With my 20+ years background in photography, there was NO WAY I was going to let any photographer take aisle images with dead flowers/landscaping as the background... And we did our best to clear what we could... But WOW, What a beautiful day it was! From the flowing cocktails to the loads of laughter from every corner of the property, it was amazing! I know every wedding vendor hired had a great time as well! - And as you know, we loved it!
  I truly Thank You Alex for hiring us, letting me shop with your bride, toasting to cocktails waaay ahead of the wedding date and most of all, for being a wonderful couple to plan with, we will never forget your big day!
  Cheers! - Diane

  Diane is amazing! She made sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. In a state that is typically sunny 95% of the year, it rained on our wedding day. Diane was on top of having alternate plans for our dinner and reception. She made sure everything was reorchestrated and setup perfectly. When the gardener failed to clean up the garden, Diane and her team trimmed the dead roses, swept up the leaves, and groomed the property. She goes above and beyond! Not to mention she gave us advice and direction on other vendors she recommended for photography, officiant, bakers, etc.
  
  I have personally recommended Diane to other friends and they are going to use her for their wedding this summer!

  Gorgeous Laurel, you know I adore you! What a time we had planning your big day! It never seemed like we were wedding planning, it was way to easy & fun! Your wedding was crazy-fun and entertaining. And of course you looked stunning!
  Multi-tasking is what I do best and we had a great time doing it, even trimming the landscape of dead plants/flowers! The pre-wedding shopping for the best flowers, for fabrics and of course, our late night talks with cocktails. And I am extremely glad you used some of my preferred vendors too, they are amazing and rocked it!
  Nothing could make me happier than making sure you had the best time, especially the surprise we had waiting for you right after the ceremony! I was like a little kid getting the horse up the long estate driveway, sooo excited, especially when NO ONE knew about it.... It surprised all! Haha!
  I thank you for being such an amazing couple to work with and to be friends with. Your day was special, and will never be forgotten! Cheers to you! - Diane

  Where do I start? I was referred to her by the owner of the company I work for, he had worked with Diane a few times for his personal events and highly recommended I call her, so I did. From my phone interview with Diane, I knew we were a perfect match. She seemed to know exactly what I was looking for without being pushy, like some of the other calls I had made. She was extremely easy to talk to and made me feel like we had known each other for years. The price was right and very reasonable. I was completely comfortable with her, so I hired her immediately. She helped me with so many things: my cake and sweets table, DJ, rentals, Officiant, flowers, photographer and much more. She was always there when I needed her and was very flexible with all the extra requests I had. I probably emailed and texted her 5 times a day, if not more just about simple questions I had and she was always there to give her advice. We hired her for month-of planning, but she started right away(5 months earlier). We even went to lunch just to chat about concerns I had and to go over the final layout of the reception location about a month before our wedding date. BTW our wedding was absolutely perfect!!! My husband was in awww that it all came together like it did. She put together our timelines, contacted our vendors for scheduling, conducted rehearsal "like a boss", and during the reception Diane and her team even made sure we were on time and everything was perfect. I still keep in touch with her even now that our wedding has been over for months! My best advice to anyone planning their wedding is: "HIRE DIANE!!!! She is AMAZING to work with! I love her and her team." Thank you Diane for everything you did to make our day amazing, I really don't believe it could have been soo great without you!

  Diane was beyond fabulous. She was everything we could have wished for and more. I was nervous about hiring a wedding planner but our day was approaching quick and we realized we needed help with vendors and last minute details. We also wanted someone for the day. I'm glad we decided to 1) hire a wedding planner 2) choose Diane. Diane and her assistant were so fantastic and helpful. I wish we would have hired her sooner, it would have saved a lot of headaches and stress. She was so well organized, professional, and extremely friendly assisting in every detail. She provided expert advice and always made sure that all of us were happy and enjoying the whole process. In addition, my mother is a bit of a micro manager, and they worked so well together, my mom loves Diane! The time when she came on board to the wedding felt like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. The day was so beautiful and went flawlessly, much to her credit. She's extremely affordable for the elite services she provides, which was icing on the cake. I would highly recommend her and her team for any event.

  Diane and her team were a tremendous help for our wedding last summer, and we know we would never have been able to pull off our big day without her wonderful insight and quick-thinking. Event Wedding Planning was probably the best investment we made during our engagement, and I would recommend their services to any bride looking to be treated like a queen on her wedding day! We can't thank you enough Diane!

  Using Event Planning was the best decision I could have made for our wedding day! Diane and her staff are wonderful people to work with! Our wedding was in California and we planned the event from NYC. Diane was an instrumental part of our wedding planning in the months before the wedding and the day of our wedding. Diane was detail oriented and very organized which was very helpful, especially because we were so far away. She helped me keep track of the vendors and also made suggestions on things we needed to do before the wedding. Diane had a way of making the wedding planning process less stressful and often reminded us that the process was still fun! Diane went above and beyond all my expectations of a wedding planner. I would definitely recommend Diane and Event Planning to anyone planning a wedding or big event!

  I knew Diane would be a perfect match for us the moment I met her. She was so easy-going yet very professional and organized. Although we hired her as our "day-of-coordinator" she jumped right on into creating the timeline, recessional, and processional months before the wedding. She was always so attentive and completely understood the concept I had for my wedding. Thanks to Diane and her team, our wedding day was flawless! She made sure no detail was overlooked and that everything was just as I had envisioned. We were completely stress-free and able to enjoy every moment of our special day. Everything was perfect and I really don't think that would have been possible without her help. Thank you Diane for helping us celebrate a day we will never forget!

  Future brides, you can truly enjoy your time of engagement. There's so many fine details to wedding planning such as, finding your location, the right photographer,DJ, great deals on flowers, creating your wedding time line ect. You don't need to stress throughout this special time in your life. Every bride wants to look and feel their best on their special day. Stress is bad for your health and can show up on your skin, and no bride wants to deal with that! What every bride should have, is a wedding planner that will go above and beyond all that is asked and thought of and that person is Diane Merriss.

  Diane was one of the best wedding day decisions I made! She met with me ahead of time to review my big day and how she could make it what I wanted it to be, went to the site with me, suggested vendors when I got stuck, and checked in with me to see how I was doing. I felt so relaxed on my wedding day, knowing that she would take care of all the details for me. I would recommend her to any bride!
