Matt Sent on 08/13/2022A bright and collaborative experience with Dina
We worked with Dina over the course of 8 months leading up to our August wedding in Santa Barbara. She displayed a consistently high level of professionalism, skill, organization, and communication over that time. We found her to be particularly responsive and thoughtful when questions--big and small--arose over the planning process, and our work with her left us feeling confident about the coordination and facilitation of events on our big day.
On the day of our wedding, Dina worked hard to make sure everything went according to plan. She ensured that vendors were appropriately prepared, she problem-solved, and she checked in with us to see if we had everything we needed. We had an absolutely amazing wedding, which was due in no small part to Dina's efforts.
I also want to mention that Dina has a warm demeanor, and is generally a pleasure to work with. We couldn't recommend her more highly. -

Dina is absolute dream! I feel so lucky so have had her as my wedding coordinator for our big day. I moved to California about a year ago, and planning a wedding is stressful and doing so in a new city can be overwhelming. but with Dina by our sides, she was able to quickly take on my stress and worries and handle everything with such control and perfection. Dina is extremely talented, and will take on each task with the most passion and organization. Having Dina on the day of our wedding made our day absolutely seamless in every-way imaginable. She was attentive to my every need, and will go over and beyond to make sure you are happy. She will always have a smile on her face no matter what. I give the highest recommendation to Dina and her company "On The Bride's Side" -

Brianna Sent on 10/15/2020The best friend and wedding coordinator you could ask for
Dina was my rock throughout my wedding planning process. Unfortunately our wedding was cancelled due to COVID so I wasn't able to see her perform the day of but she was truly a godsend. We all know that wedding planning in general can be a pain but throw in a worldwide pandemic and you have a full blown nightmare. Dina was helpful, organized, super responsive and professional throughout the 6 months that we worked together. I felt comfortable to rely on her to take care of both small and large tasks and I loved that I could confide in her as well. She was always available when I needed her and she always knew what to do. She gracefully navigated the uncharted waters that we were in when COVID became a reality in the US and although it didn't work out for us, I know that she has helped so many couples throughout this process and will continue to be an even stronger coordinator because she's overcome so many obstacles. If you're considering whether or not you need a wedding coordinator, trust me, you do and if you're still considering who to choose, trust me, Dina is the best choice. -

I used all the downloads to help me plan my wedding. It made planning a destination wedding much easier and made it easy to communicate with my vendors. It was also great to have the other brides opinions and encouragement. -

Nicole Sent on 07/29/2016I am so glad I found OTBS! The membership and Bridal Toolbox are priceless- so much valuable information, especially when you don't know where to start. It's helpful every step of the way! An added bonus is the private Facebook group, where other brides and Dina herself are there to bounce ideas off of, ask questions, and just support each other in general. I have no idea what I would have done without it, and I would recommend it to anybody! -

Alissa Sent on 07/22/2016The Bridal Toolbox was seriously the best thing that could have happened to me while planning my wedding. The excel sheets were what my dreams were made of! Dina is super professional and joining the private Facebook group allowed me to share my experiences and get advice from other women going through the planning process as well. I recommend Dina and her services to anyone who would like to alleviate some of that wedding planning stress. -

Jasmine Sent on 01/28/2016What can I say.. My favorite part of being a member of OTBS, is not the whole planning kit you get, but the private facebook page where you can chat with other brides. I love being able to go onto the Facebook page, share my ideas, help other brides and get great Advice from Dina herself, and other brides. What company owner actually takes time to talk to you on Facebook and make you feel like your a part of her circle, none.. only this one offers you that. -

Kailey Sent on 01/05/2016I absolutely LOVE my On the Brides Side membership. My favorite part so far, mostly because I'm not too far into my wedding planning yet, is the Facebook group. I love being able to talk with Dina, as well as be able to get my questions answered by other brides, or get advice on what they are going through. I just want to thank Dina so much for everything that On the Brides Side has helped me with! -

Choose On the Bride's Side!
We planned our wedding in three short months and would not have been able to pull it off without the help of On the Bride's Side/Dina. She sent me contacts of her favorite vendors that included our florist, DJ, and best of all our sweet ride, which was a vintage Mercedes convertible. I had a low key wedding that I thought I could handle on my own, but Dina was my eyes, ears, and hands and brought everything together (she even put together a mini Christmas tree!). You will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and book On the Bride's Side!! -

Amazing experience with Dina
We hired Dina in December 2018 for our June 2019 wedding in Santa Barbara. We wanted her partial package because we had already found a venue, but living out of town we needed direction for everything and only had 6 months to plan. From the moment of our initial phone call, Dina was on top of things. She has connections with a lot of local vendors and would send us different options with different price ranges. She never forced her opinion or ideas, it was always about what we wanted. Dina gave us great ideas on how to save money when we were towards the end of planning and close to our budget. Dina made this process so easy for us that friends and family could not believe how calm we were leading up to the big day. The day of the actual wedding was perfect, not one thing went wrong and if it did, Dina fixed it and we did not have to worry about it. I would definitely recommend Dina to anyone in the area that is looking for a great wedding planner to help make their day extra special! -

Dina is amazing
Dina was an absolute godsend throughout the entire process of my eldest daughter’s wedding. Due to the fact that we were not from the area, we had no idea where to start however Dina found all of the vendors. We couldn’t have been happier with the recommendations she provided us. She always kept us well informed throughout the process and answered any questions we may have had before we even asked them. On the day of the wedding everything was perfect and we were hardly stressed because of Dina’s calm demeanor and efficiency. If either of my two other daughters wanted to get married in the area, the first thing I would do would be to contact Dina. I can’t stress enough how amazing she is at what she does. -
