    The Absolute Bestest Planner!

    It’s difficult to put into words how incredible it has been working with Lily of the Valley, as words can’t do it justice. If you are reading this and considering Diane as your planner, I am confident it will be the best decision for your wedding, as it has been for us. Diane and her team exceeded our expectations and our wedding was beyond what we could have imagined. So much so, I sometimes have to remind myself that it really happened. Diane enabled us to realize our dream wedding vision and executed it flawlessly. She has an amazing combination of creativity and ultimate attention to detail. It was the small details that made it so special and Diane really does think of everything.

    From the very beginning I felt a genuine connection with Diane. We got on so well and I knew I could trust her expertise. Not just due to her talent and exceptional taste, but because she always wanted the best for us. This meant she was always honest and direct, which we loved and welcomed. Diane went above and beyond and we are forever grateful. From thoughtful check in points, helping me choose bridal attire, all the way through to making sure I eat breakfast and partying with us right until the end! Not just an amazing wedding planner, but now someone we count as a friend.

    'Thank you' doesn't seem like enough for the huge impact Diane has had. If you want to enjoy the planning experience and celebrate a dreamy wedding, choose Lily of the Valley!

    Absolutely Exceptional in Every Way

    Diane is the most exceptional person and wedding planner. Her attention to detail, organisation and passion are unmatched. From the first moment we met, Diane became a part of our family and truly cared about our wedding as much as we did. It is quite remarkable how Diane was able so quickly to learn who we are and design a wedding that far surpassed our wildest dreams.

    It would be simply impossible to find anyone better to plan your wedding. Of all the things in which Diane is outstanding, the most important for us was her honesty. Creating the most remarkable event was more important for Diane than simply agreeing with everything we said. The relationship she built with us allowed us to discuss freely, and we are forever grateful for her advice and guidance, all of which was correct.

    Nothing ever goes exactly to plan with weddings, and unfortunately, we had a last-minute issue which meant our original wedding venue was no longer available. Within one week of discovering this, Diane had multiple, even better, options available and had us back on track seamlessly.

    I have heard that weddings are usually stressful, but I think this was the easiest period of our lives with Diane by our side! It is also notable that Diane works with the most incredible team and vendors. The relationships she has built with people at the top of their fields is a mirror to the exceptional quality that Diane offers.

    Thank you, Diane, for being our planner and our dearest friend through this once in a lifetime experience. We can’t wait for you to plan our 10-year anniversary!

    Extraordinary Wedding Planner!

    If you are planning a wedding in Greece, you should be doing that with Diane at Lily of the Valley. Words are not enough to express how grateful we are to her and her team for making our dream wedding come true. Our wedding was planned for 2021, but because of COVID and the travel restrictions we postponed it till 2022. Diane was with us every step of the way and was pragmatic in presenting options and has exquisite taste! We planned the whole wedding remotely over Skype/zoom. The day of the wedding was the first time we saw our vision come to life and it was just absolutely beyond our expectation. The flowers, the food, the vendors she suggested we use (makeup artist, photographer, stationary etc.) were just incredible. She communicated clearly and every hurdle we met (an ever changing guest number, price inflation, transportation…) she found a solution. She met with us in person before the wedding and made sure we were calm and enjoying ourselves before the wedding. Diane became our friend and now we consider her part of the Ghazi-Reddy family. Our international family (India, Lebanon, US, UK) all enjoyed the wedding and post wedding brunch and could not stop raving about the wedding details. We are extremely grateful and happy to have had Diane as our wedding planner! Special shout-out to her assistant Natassa as well who helped with the paperwork. PS you do need a wedding planner even if you think you don’t!
    We would also like to thank Diane for helping facilitate finding makeup/hair stylists in August when everything is shut down in Greece for all our family members (even at the last minute) and answering all the questions they had!

    Thank you to Lily of the Valley for making our day special!

    Lama and Gautam

    Best and most creative wedding planner!

    Lily of the Valley team planned and designed our wedding on Ios island and we couldn’t wish for a more talented, organized, and creative wedding planner than Diane and her team.

    Everything was taken care of to the tiniest detail, all our guests were blown away by how flawless and spectacular our wedding day was. None of it would be the same without Diane. We will be forever grateful to the team of Lily of the Valley for making our dream come true! We feel so lucky and thankful that they were a big part of our wedding day.

    We highly recommend Lily of the Valley to everyone who is looking for impeccable and attentive wedding planning services, who wants to be relaxed and enjoy their wedding day to the fullest without any worries!

    My experience was beyond my wildest dreams!!!!!

    I cannot say enough great things about Diane. She was so amazing to work with. We live in Philly and planned a wedding in Mykonos with no stress and no pressure, she took care of everything...even things we didn’t even think of. She set us up with the most amazing florists, photographers, videographers, officiant, DJ, make up, and much much much more. All we had to do is tell her our vision and she brought it to life and when i saw the ceremony set up from the flowers to the flower arch to the welcome sign , the aisle, the stage. we were absolutely speechless as were all our guests...but that was just the beginning. The venue was adorned with the most breathtaking tables and centerpieces and hanging lights and greens...words can’t describe the beauty. It was like a fairy tale. Everyone at our wedding was enthralled by the beauty of everything. All our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!!! In addition to her talent she was an amazing support the day of the wedding. She came to see me in the morning to make sure i was doing good and calm my nerves. She is a breath of fresh air and not only was she super professional, she was also a friend that day !!! recommend anyone getting married to hire her as she is smart, knowledgeable, a visionary, and just so sweet.

    Excellence at its best

    Diane is incredible! If you’re planning a wedding she is the best partner to have. She’s hands on, pays attention to every detail and best of all... she takes all the stress off the bride. Without her, I would have been a wreck. She has impeccable taste and is an absolute hustler with regards to getting you the best deal. You can trust her fully.

    Highly recommend her services to anyone!

    Lily of the Valley is the BEST!

    Lily of the Valley made our wedding dreams come true! If you are thinking of having a wedding in the Greek islands, you must hire Diane! Aside from deciding to get married, hiring her was the best decision we made. She’s trustworthy, detail-oriented, responsible, and thoughtful. We are so glad we found her and give her and her company the highest possible recommendation. We live in the United States, so planning a wedding in Mykonos was very daunting. We initially tried to contact venues, hotels, and restaurants ourselves, but it was hopeless. We got a lot of run-around, delayed responses, no responses, and then ended up with a lot of pre-packaged weddings that didn't suit us. We contacted several wedding planners after that and we chose Diane because she actually LISTENS! Most of the other planners already had packages they were trying to sell us or they didn’t want to give us information. Diane was different. She asked very detailed questions about what we wanted and our budget. She helped us pick a venue, a private villa, sent us photos of decorative visions to pin down our style, and video chatted with us. She walked us through every step and was comforting and amazingly organized! She had color-coded charts, which impressed us exceedingly. She also gave us very thoughtful advice. But she really earned our highest praise when, just a month before our wedding, our venue canceled on us. It was an incredibly stressful time but Diane researched alternative venues and visited them. We ultimately booked a wonderful villa that Diane found and that was even better than the first! Diane saved the day. She really is a hero to us. And the wedding ceremony and reception itself was spectacular! Diane's style vision is unparalleled and she brought our dreams to life and even made them better. From the place settings to the flowers, the ceremonial arch, even the placement of the chairs, it was just so beautiful and detailed. Everything about our wedding screamed WOW! And all the vendors chosen by Diane were first class, including the photographer, stationer, the florist, and the chef. We are both vegan so she made sure we had an all-vegan dinner and wedding cake! And the food and wine—chosen by Diane— were delicious! Our guests were so impressed and we wanted to take all the credit, but just kept repeating, “it was Diane, our wedding planner!” Diane also arranged transportation for our guests to the ceremony and to Mykonos Town afterwards for our post-wedding bar hopping. The day went by so fast! There were a lot of moving parts that Diane handled flawlessly and perfectly, and nothing took away from our special day! Diane, along with her husband Andreas, went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations. Plus, you can tell she loves what she does. It emanates from her smile and her presence. It’s reflected in all the work she did. Everything about our wedding was so magical and dreamy we wish we could do it again. Luckily, our photographer was excellent so we have incredible pictures we can’t stop looking at! We recommend Lily of the Valley wholeheartedly and without reservation! Do yourself a favor and book your wedding with them. You won’t regret it! Best. Decision. Ever.

    Stress-free elegant wedding planning

    Words cannot express our gratitude for Diane. Our wedding exceeded every expectation, it was something out of a dream! And we owe that to Diane.

    We were amazingly surprised by her devotion and passion for her work. She really planned this wedding as if it were her own. From day one, she was extremely responsive, listening to our visions of the wedding, getting to know us and to understand our style and tastes, as well as adding exquisite ideas on the table. She has an exceptional taste, so if you are in need of inspiration, you’re definitely in good hands.

    You have to know that Diane is extremely organized. Throughout the planning process, we received detailed presentations regarding every intricate detail about the wedding including the venue, the color palette, the flowers, the table set, the cutlery. She even helped me pick my dress!

    Diane’s planning was extremely smooth and easy by streamlining all the vendors and design aspects. All our bookings took place through Diane, so we didn't have to follow-up with multiple vendors. We loved that, as everything was centralized for us and alleviated any additional stress. She kept the planning experience fun from start to finish.

    An important point is the detailed budget she provided us, which included the list of the different vendors and the corresponding payment deadlines. She is very good about keeping to schedules, constantly and patiently sending us reminders about upcoming important deadlines.

    What truly sealed our trust in Diane, is how much she respected our budget. Combining experience and cleverness she really helped us optimize our budget, sharing her tricks about where to spend our money and where not to; as well as negotiating the best prices with vendors. We truly felt that she worked hard to put us at ease, constantly reminding us that the whole purpose of her planning our wedding was to make this day the ´best day of our life’.

    She is easy to work with, and above all is truly professional, which I feel is important considering that we spent months talking together. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had regarding any topic. She kept the planning experience fun.


    Diane planned out everything to finite details and managed the set up of the wedding flawlessly. On our wedding day, she worked her magic, it turned out to be something out of a fairytale ! I was extremely relaxed as I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Diane and her team were working on every little detail.

    Planning a destination wedding, however exciting as it may be, is certainly not a piece of cake. I therefore strongly recommend that you work with the amazing, friendly, kind and trustworthy person that Diane is. There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Diane being part of our special day. She is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. I will truly miss working with her.

    They are the Best!

    I would simply get married again just to have them organize our wedding. Their attention to details is beyond description! Diane has a way of making problems simply disappear especially when one is under a lot of pressure and stress! I would give them 6 stars!

    Thank you Lily of the Valley for planning our wedding!
    It was indeed the most beautiful day of our lives. The decoration was exquisite with many creative and thoughtful details. It was a very elegant event better than how we initially envisioned it. The wedding was perfectly planned and executed in a organized manner. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

    I Would highly recommend Lily of the Valley to anyone looking for a wedding planner who is intelligent, professional, fun and easy to work with.
    Diane maintains constant communication with you throughout the planning period. She also works with the finest connections and she works hard with them to help use the full potential of your budget. We also liked how she would tell us where we don't need to spend money. She cares more about your experience and that you fully enjoy it than making more money off of you.

    She gave us a dream wedding, far beyond what we could have imagined. I'm sure she will for anyone else who asks her to plan their wedding.

    We were extremely fortunate to have been introduced to Diane Kiameh from Lily of the Valley, to help plan our wedding. Diane immediately understood our tastes and worked with us to find the perfect venue, as well as the the right vendors and suppliers in Athens.
    Planning a wedding in a remote destination, from the other side of the planet is not an easy endeavour, but thanks to Diane’s awesome tastes and talent and her help in finding us top-rated vendors, the process went really smoothly. I wouldn't recommend anyone plan a destination wedding without the help of a reputable local planner, like Diane!
    For our wedding's colour palette, Diane helped us decide on a blush and dusty blue, which fit our summer wedding perfectly, especially with the the beautiful Island Private house as the focal point and the gorgeous Mediterranean as the backdrop.
    Apart from her talent, one cannot deny Diane’s lovely hospitality. We followed her advice and went to Greece 5 months prior where she had planned a whole week for us from morning to night meeting all the vendors, food and wine tasting and making sure we made the right decisions. Not to mention the time she spent with me going from store to store to try wedding dresses. This is not your ordinary planner.
    Even though we had spent so much time thinking about that day and planning for it, we simply couldn't believe how wonderfully magical it all looked in the end. No words can express what we felt. It was truly and unequivocally a fairy-tale setting, as cliche as that sounds!
    And what better than knowing that Diane was there that night looking over every single detail and making sure than all was going perfectly and according to plan.
    Thank you so much Diane for everything, you are truly the best decision we made for our wedding and everything went uphill after that.

    We really felt that Lily of the Valley was planning our wedding as if it was her own, from every single detail, and we were extremely comfortable working with her and loved the fact that we deeply connected together. We managed to build deep rapport, beyond professional arrangement. Diane was very welcoming and extremely accommodating during our visit to Mykonos for venue scouting.
    She was available anytime and always open to answering any questions regarding any topic and providing us with lots of information in a very professional and clear communication via emails to keep track of everything for future references.
    She even assisted us in creating a website that was so informative to all guests and pretty entertaining.
    Diane made us feel very confident that the wedding would be simply amazingly arranged and prepared. We could have never done it remotely without her!

    Diane was the foundation of our wedding, she passionately planned the day like a piece of art! She listened to our crazy ideas and at the same time she was able to help us choose the best for us according to her good experience. She was always there to answer our questions and erase our moments of doubts.
    I will never thank her enough for realizing the wedding of our dreams!!
