    Bride A.S.

    Diana was great- she kept me organized, helped me pick everything from venue to caterer to even a little help with my rehearsal. she even helped me with paper goods such as invitations, menus etc. I am grateful to have worked with her!

    If you want to enjoy your wedding day, hire Diana!

    Diana is the real deal and I back every comment about her being a fairy godmother. I came to her with almost every major detail planned (type A-bride) but I had a million questions about logistics and how the day would go and wondered on things like if I have 100 guests do I order extra water glasses? (She’s was truly a saint taking the time to talk me through all of it) I had only attended one wedding in my life and I just felt like I was taking a shot in the dark with so many things. She simplified everything for me and made it so easy to navigate (while I still tightly held her hand the whole time because she was an amazing support system). Diana is attentive, organized, and she made sure we did check in calls along the whole process.

    When I needed an enforcer to deal with vendors that weren’t as organized as her, she stepped in so I wouldn’t have to and I never had to worry because she would reassure me it would all be taken care of. Diana made our day a breeze and I felt like I was able to relax and enjoy it. Many guests couldn't believe how calm I was all day, and it's thanks to her !

    Diana is the BEST

    First off, DIANA is AMAZING!!!! She made wedding planning so much easier. She was very patient with us even with the endless amount of questions we had. Whether it was on a weekend or weekday, I would email/text her and she would always respond back in a timely matter. Not only was she my wedding coordinator but she was also my florist ^__^. She was overall wonderful to have as a planner and just an awesome individual to have met! I loved how everything turned out!

    The wedding planning guru

    Diana and her team were nothing short of amazing! Throughout the entire process she was organized and professional. Additionally her connections and resources were extremely beneficial. The planning process was made easy and my stress levels were well managed at the end when stress levels creep up. I’d do this with her over and over again if I could. She really brought my dreams to reality.

    Perfect wedding day

    Diana was incredible! She really made the entire wedding day stress free and coached us through the process leading up to the big day. She set up our venue decor beautifully more than we could have imagined. She also had great vendor recommendations which we used that made the day even more perfect!
    Thank you for everything, Diana! We appreciate everything you did for us

    The best in the business

    Diana was absolutely incredible to work with and helped me pull off the wedding I never dreamed I could have. Her level of service is above and beyond any I have seen before. The week after we booked our wedding venue and Diana as our coordinator, we found out I was pregnant and a month later my husband received orders to move out of state for 6 months. Diana was incredibly patient, reassuring, and understanding of our extremely complex situation. She helped us plan across time zones and simplified the whole process. We went on to have the most beautiful and fun wedding celebration mostly due to the vendors she recommended. I was in awe of the way she and her staff orchestrated the day and handled any issues that arose (all of which were our own fault) with such ease. Bonus--her decor recommendations, vendors, and generously creating my bouquet all kept us within budget. She is the best of the best and I am so glad we chose her to work with us on our special day.

    You NEED her!

    I've been putting off writing this review for two reasons- 1. There's not enough words in the English (or Spanish) dictionary that could help me truly express how thankful I am to have found Diana. I wanted to do her justice with my review and kept falling short with my words. 2. Writing the review would mean I'd have to accept the fact that my wedding is over and I'm no longer working with her. Since the beginning, Diana was so incredibly warm and approachable...she felt like a friend. After our very first conversation, I knew I had found "the one." And boy was I right.

    Every time I had a freak out, Diana was there to calm me down and steer me in the right direction. She honestly started helping me even before I officially booked with her. Booking with her also saved me thousands of dollars!! I didn't know it at the time, but Diana became not only my planner, but also my florist (she made my bouquets which were better than any Pinterest post I showed her), my venue designer (she decorated my sweetheart table and I think I cried when I saw it), my baker (okay she didn't bake the cake but she decorated it and wow!), my graphic designer (y'all, she made my save the dates-which then became the inspo for the wedding theme), AND she recommended the best HMUA (My friend is super picky and even she loved her makeup). Lastly and probably most importantly for my sanity, she was my shoulder to lean on with anything and everything wedding related. I asked for and trusted her advice, not just as a professional, but as a recent bride and friend. She always had my best interest in mind and advised me accordingly.

    I cannot stress this enough: Diana helped me have the wedding of my dreams. It was better than anything I could have ever imagined. She crawled so I could fly lol. She literally handled everything at the venue the day of and I never, not for a single second, worried about a single thing. So tap your shoes together three times, wish upon a star, blow on some dandelions, and use a lucky wishbone so that Diana is available to help you with what will surely be the most magical day ever. Contrary to what my ex-fiancé (now husband) thought at the time, YES. We absolutely did need a coordinator.

    Diana, words can't express how thankful my husband and I are for your help. We had so much fun, we want to do it again!! But maybe in a few years after we've saved up.

    Fairy Godmother is right!

    Diana was an absolute dream to work with. We clicked right away and had the same vision for what we liked which helped a lot in terms of planning. I rented decor from her, arch, and she also did our florals which were incredible. She answered every question I had, was responsive and had a ton of recommendations for vendors. I would recommend her 100 times over.

    Won’t regret hiring!

    As a procrastinator, Diana did amazing working with me to make the process for planning a wedding so easy. She was very professional, always answering my million questions, giving great advice and suggestions, and best of all, she was very flexible with my schedule. She handled last minute situations (hello rain!) and adjusted my entire wedding so flawlessly. Again, you won’t regret hiring her and I shall be giving her information to any and all future brides that I come across.

    Everything was perfect

    Diana was a pleasure to work with and a real lifesaver! I loved how communicative she was with us through the entire wedding planning process. She guided us through it all, helped us find our amazing florist and made everything way less stressful. Our wedding day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks so much for making it such an incredible experience!

    The best wedding planner out there!

    If you are looking for a wedding planner who is creative, organized, and loves their job, Diana is the one to go with! My now husband and I felt very anxious about the idea of planning our dream wedding, but Diana reassured us that she'd guide us through the process. She also has many connections to trustworthy vendors that have all mentioned great things about her. That's when you know she is the real deal! On the day of the wedding, she made sure that everything ran smoothly with clear communication and direction. She also made sure we did not feel overwhelmed or distracted from enjoying our special day. Our wedding will always be a day to remember, and we can't thank her enough for making our dream wedding come to reality.

    The BEST wedding planner we could have asked for!

    Diana is truly THE BEST wedding fairy godmother we could have asked for! We hired her for partial planning service because we live in Chicago and could not be more thankful for having Diana’s help in planning our California destination wedding. She was responsive through text whenever I had any questions during the entire planning process. She made our wedding day so smooth and handled everything beautifully! So very thankful to have found Diana and would recommend her wedding planning services to anyone!

    excellent experience, fantastic to work with

    Diana was a fantastic planner to work with! I could not be happier with how my wedding turned out, several people told me it was one of the best weddings they'd ever been to. Diana is well connected with vendors and her experience shows in just how smoothly everything went throughout the entire time we worked together. She is easy to contact and kept my husband and I on track. Diana even took the extra time to go to the flower market with me and she created my bouquet and all the other bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, and other floral arrangements which gave my wedding an extra personal touch. I got so many compliments on how beautiful the flowers were! I would highly recommend working with Diana on your wedding or next event!

    Amazing Planner !

    My now wife and I chose Diana from Knots & Belles to help plan and coordinate our wedding because of her expertise in Orange County. Diana is a preferred vendor for the venues we looked at and had done multiple weddings at the San Clemente Historic Cottage. Her expertise with the venue, her work with the National Park Staff and coordination with all our vendors was top notch. We had a very DIY style wedding with many moving pieces which I'm happy to say were all managed flawlessly by Diana and her team. Diana was instrumental in helping plan, providing vendors and taking the pressure of my wife and I on our special day; I cannot recommend her and her team enough.

    Wedding planner of our dreams

    Diana of Knots and Belles made wedding planning an absolute breeze, she was there every step of the way to help with logistical and design questions I had for her. Our wedding would not have gone as smoothly or as perfectly planned if it wasn't for her and her team! My only regret, is that it happened way to fast and I want to do it all over again! Our wedding will forever be the best day of our lives and that is very much because of what Diana and her team did to make it that way for us. Thank you Diana, can't wait to plan another event with you! :)

    Knots & Belles's reply:

    Thank you so much Alana & Ryan!
    It truly did go by so fasts but I would 100% do it all over again!
    We love you both!! Congratulations!

    The most helpful team

    Diana was the best coordinator! I met her through my friend's wedding and she was fabulous from the day we met all the way through the wedding. I got to know her for about a year and half before the big day, and she was always there to answer any questions I had through text. Althought I only booked her as the month of/ day of coordinator, she was there anytime I needed her. I could count on her to give me an honest answer and when the wedding day came, I felt at ease knowing Diana was going to run the show! If you're looking for a coordinator, definitely book her! She is also a professional hype woman :) Thanks Diana for making our wedding so so special!

    Diana is great to work with, very kind and helpful

    I originally hired Diana for a day of coordination in 2020 for my original wedding date June 2021. However, I had to postpone to April 2022 due to the pandemic. Diana was kind and really understanding, and we kept communicating throughout the past 2 years. She always asked for updates to make sure I was on track. I thought I would be able to plan on my own since I had 2 years, but I was extremely busy with work. I hired some main vendors, but I didn't have time to look into other vendors or plan designs/decor or put things together. Diana would always follow up, and was patient even though I had a busy work schedule. A few months before the wedding, I asked Diana to help me with the rest of the planning because I just didn't have time anymore. She was really understanding and took care of everything else I needed to do and whatever was necessary. I was on a budget, and wanted something pretty but simple. Diana was understanding and honest, and recommended what I needed or didn't need in order to stay in a budget. She recommended any remaining vendors that I needed and took care of all communication to the vendors and put everything together for the wedding day. She always helped communicate with the venue, because they were in construction for a really long time. I let her handle all the decor and designing of the ceremony and reception, because I didn't have time and I was happy with how everything turned out. I used to be really stressed out every day trying to plan for the wedding when I was working 40+ hours a week, but once I asked Diana to help take over, I became stress free and I was able to enjoy the day. I highly recommend Diana to other couples who need a wedding planner. She's great, kind, helpful, very understanding.

    Truly everything you need in a planner/coordinator

    There is no way we could’ve handled our wedding weekend without Diana. I picked a few vendors in the beginning of the planning process but as it got closer to the wedding, she recommended her trusted vendor partners and took over with the final details. Especially since we were flying to California from the east coast, Diana was able to coordinate decorations, hotel recommendations, and final design decisions. Thank you Diana for guiding us through a wonderful wedding weekend!

    Wedding Fairy Godmother!

    So so lucky to have meet Diana as my wedding coordinator. She had extensive experience under her belt and really guided me through the process from beginning to end.

    As an initial process, she took my chaotic Pinterest inpos, sorted it into a PowerPoint presentation, and transformed it into a ✨vision✨

    Closer to my wedding date, there was an extensive checklist that needs to be filled out. It just goes to show her commitment, attention to details, and how organized she is.

    During d-day, her assistant wasn’t able to make it, did all the work by herself and still gave 200%!!! I was very very happy with how everything turned out.

    Plus point: she has her own decors, so it just felt very efficient for me not having to worry about a rental vendor.
    She genuinely care for her customer and I might hv found a life-long friend 💗 I would strongly encourage any bride to book her.

    Wedding goodmother!

    Where can I even start? Her last name is Belles… as in wedding BELLES… as in Fairy godmother. What other indication do you need that she in fact is THE BEST FREAKING WEDDING PLANNER IN THE WORLD?! From the moment I found her I knewwwwwww she was the right one. Like a typical guy, my husband had decided that we did not need a wedding planner. He was sure we could do it on our own (Umm yeah no). Previous to finding Diana, we had spoken with 5 other planners. 3 Ghosted us, the fourth was planning on doing one other wedding on our day and the 5th was out of our price range. Let me save you all the hassle now and tell you to HIRE DIANA NOW!!!!

    After our first email exchange we set up a Zoom meeting the next day and we were sold. She understood the vision. We hired her 1 years and 5 months from our wedding. Throughout the whole process she truly was our fairy godmother. She was always a quick text away. It was not at all a client/vendor relationship, she really is a friend and advocates for you. She has so many connections and she does her best to find what’s best for you. All of this instilled a confidence in me. She really does have the best ideas.

    Wedding day came around and I really let go!!! She had a conversation with me the week of the wedding to remind me to really enjoy my day. The day of my wedding something clicked in my head, I was marrying my best friend and a new chapter was starting for me. I’m a total type A person, but for that day I left it all to Diana and it really was the best day of my life.

    When I say she “got it” I mean she TRULY got it! The ceremony started promptly and may I say we were ahead of schedule the WHOLE day?! When do you hear that about weddings?!

    I also want to add that her assistant Laura is such a sweetheart. She came to introduce herself to me and gave me a quick rundown to remind me to just enjoy my day.

    It was during our first dance that I looked past my husband and we both looked into our reception and saw the flickering candles and all of the details Diana and Laura put all over our venue and we just started balling our eyes out. It was such a dream. There was no issue that I had to resolve, they took care of everything.

    I am so thankful to Diana and Laura. They truly went above and beyond. She is who you NEED during the process and day of, not a vendor but a friend. Thank you Diana, I am literally indebted to you for life.

    Just book her!

    Where to start. Diana is absolutely amazing! I’m the type of person who likes to be in control & is completely type A, with Diana it was easy to let go & know that she would handle it. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She knew exactly how to execute my vision, she’s a mind reader!! Anything I asked of her on my day was done. It was just so amazing to have her as my day of coordinator! But honestly she’s more then that. She did so much for us leading up to the big day! Don’t hesitate and book her. You’ll have no regrets. She’s worth every penny & more. She’s sweet, professional, and overall easy to communicate with.

    This is your sign: HIRE HER!!

    Working with Diana as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Diana is seriously top notch and so easy to work with. She provided a ton of support and great recs for other vendors. She broke down the planning process into very reasonable, attainable goals and provided templates for us to use, making the planning process much less stressful. She was very mindful of our budget, very communicative, and so resourceful on the wedding day- styling everything to perfection!! Diana did such a great job wrangling our vendors and we were extremely happy with all of them on the wedding day. We had some difficult vendors (the band) but she protected us from their drama. Diana truly goes above and beyond for her clients and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for helping us have the best day ever! She was the best at putting all our ideas together in a way that was better than we ever could have imagined— our detail shots were all her :) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diana and her team for your wedding or any other special event.

    Hire her!!

    Diana really is the wedding fair godmother! There are not enough words to explain how amazing she is! Since the day we booked her as our coordinator, she was constantly checking in on us and made the whole wedding planning process seamless. She kept in close contact with our vendors, always making sure they were up to date with the details. We trusted her more than ever and put a lot of details into her hands; which she really has a talent for. She stuck with us through COVID and a canceled wedding, three different wedding dates, and made the next step in planning the least amount of stressful (and not to mention dealing with a rainy wedding day). She has amazing vendor recommendations and her staff is wonderful! We are now blessed to be able to call her a friend.

    Incredible to work with!

    Diana is an incredibly talented coordinator! She is skilled in making every detail perfect and helping the day run efficiently and smoothly. She is super kind, very fun, and takes care of her couple and the vendors very well! I’d highly recommend her as a wedding photographer myself!!
