Absolutely Flawless
If you want a stress-free wedding day, hire Diana. We worked with her for over a year, and she was incredibly thorough. She curated a vendor team that fit our personalities perfectly and supported us through every single interview. If I had to describe our day in one word, it would be FLAWLESS.
We worked with Diana for a year, and her organization is unmatched. During the planning phase, she didn't just find vendors; she found vendors that matched our specific "vibe." She attended every interview, asking the right questions we didn’t even know to ask. Because of her detailed follow-ups and pacing, we felt completely ready for the wedding three months before the big day. She even helped me coordinate a surprise cookie treat for my husband!
On the day of the wedding, I didn't look at my phone once. Diana handled everything:
- Communication: She was the point of contact for all vendors and the wedding party.
-Problem Solving: She even fielded phone calls from lost guests so we didn't have to.
-Setup: She executed our personal décor perfectly.
Because of Diana, we were actually present to celebrate with our guests. Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had. Diana goes above and beyond to make the day magical—do yourself a favor and hire her!

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will truly go above and beyond, look no further than Diana. She helped plan our entire wedding in just 2.5 months — and not only did she pull it off, she made the whole process feel effortless.
Diana is incredibly organized, friendly, efficient, and so easy to work with. I’m someone who likes to get things done quickly and stay on top of details, and I appreciated so much that she operates the exact same way. She kept everything moving, anticipated needs I didn’t even know we had yet, and handled every curveball with total calm and professionalism.
On top of all that, she’s just a genuinely nice person — someone you actually enjoy having by your side during such a big life moment. I’m already trying to think of another event just so I can work with her again.
Highly, highly recommend. 💕 -

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Diana. From start to finish, she went above and beyond every expectation we had for our wedding coordinator. Our celebration spanned multiple days with over 200 guests, and she handled every detail with professionalism, grace, and the calmest energy imaginable.
From managing countless moving parts to coordinating vendors, timelines, and last-minute changes, Diana made everything feel seamless. We were able to be fully present and actually enjoy our wedding because we knew she had everything handled behind the scenes. -

We cannot recommend Diana Santiago with Passionate Weddings enough! From the moment we met Diana, we knew she was the perfect person to help bring our wedding vision to life. On the phone, during our initial phone call, she answered all of our questions and put us at ease as we were thinking about the day of our wedding. Diana has a ton of experience with many different cultural and religious weddings which was shown through her knowledge and dedication. She even helped us to incorporate and ensure that our dog was able to be part of our special day. We used her for month-of/day-of coordination, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Diana is incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and always available to answer any questions that came up during the planning process.
She created an incredibly detailed timeline, communicated with all of our vendors, helped us make decisions on linen colors, and was super helpful with any small, detailed questions from the venue. On our wedding day, Diana brought two team members with her, and they were just as amazing as she is. From steaming dresses, managing photo timelines and groupings, walking around the venue with us during photos, to looking out for our guests and even helping with cleanup after the event, Diana and her team handled everything flawlessly.
Diana is hands down the best planner/coordinator out there in the DMV! If we had to do it all over again, we would hire Diana and her team 1,000 times over. Hands down, this was the best decision we ever made for our wedding! -

Our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams with Diana and team - if there were any problems we didn’t see them and got to deeply enjoy our day, and the year of working with the team in the lead up. So thankful. -

If you are looking for a wedding planner who is always go beyond your expectation and provide 5 start customer experience, Diana is your best choice! I had the pleasure of working with her through a wedding at Patterson Mention. She organized the meet-up with the couple in advance. We had a wonderful time through lunch and discuss many wedding details to make sure the event goes as seamless as possible -

Diana and Bridget with Passionate Weddings were absolutely AMAZING! The best money we spent on the wedding! They got us where we needed to be, when we needed to be there, all while making it feel seamless to us and our guests. They worked well with the other vendors and proved them with detailed communications and timelines along the way. They helped us feel at ease the entire day and we completely trusted them to carry out our timeline vision. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Honestly it’s one of the first thing I talk about when I am discussing our wedding day. Just truly in awe of their services and I couldn’t be happier! -

Diana and her day-of coordination team were amazing! I could already tell after our first phone call that she was congenial, communicative, supportive, organized, and simply everything you would want out of a coordinator. I screened a few different coordinators, but Diana just stood out.
She was incredibly helpful in the month leading up to the event. She truly went above and beyond to stay on top of all of the vendor communications, event timelines, and checking in with me and the groom. We absolutely got more than we expected in hiring Passionate Weddings!
All we heard the days after our wedding was how our wedding party, friends, and family had so much fun! Everything was so organized, yet Diana and team were able to be adaptable to any change or disruption that came up.
The year of planning would not have been worth anything without Diana's team to be there to help execute our vision. I can easily say that our wedding was the happiest day of my life, and it would not have been the same without Diana, Alvera, and Hanah. Do yourself and your guests the ultimate favor--choose Passionate Weddings :) -

Diana and her team truly made our wedding day unforgettable! In 2019, my now-husband, Selvin, and I were trying to mentally prepare ourselves for the stress that comes with wedding planning. However, as soon as COVID-19 hit in 2020, we were a mess! We had our initial call with Diana before COVID-19, where we had a large expected guest list. However, we had to pause on reaching out to vendors and confirming with them because we weren’t sure what we would do in the middle of COVID-19. During the stress of it all, Diana was so patient with us as we tried to figure things out. She was there for us even BEFORE we booked her! We knew right there and then that if the wedding were to go on, Diana had to be part of it. Initially, we went back-and-forth with hiring a day-of-coordinator, but booking with Diana was the BEST decision we could have made. We began working together towards the end of October 2020, once we had downsized our guest list. She immediately began sending us everything from shared documents to lists of things to work on. I was amazed. I am detailed myself and therefore I appreciated Diana’s extreme attention to detail and efficient responses. She worked so well with both Selvin and I.
If anyone is undecided about a coordinator, I HIGHLY recommend allocating space in the budget, if possible, for Diana. The feeling of knowing that someone you trust is handling everything on wedding day is absolutely amazing! I cannot express that enough. Selvin and I were able to be 100% present with our wedding party/guests and enjoy every moment of the wedding. We never saw any of the stress that went on behind the scenes because Diana and her team managed it all! We would get updates constantly and felt supported by Diana every step of the way. Our family and guests continued to say how organized and effortless everything was- all thanks to Diana and her team! Lastly, we initially removed the “send-off” from our timeline, but Diana was able to make it happen with some of our guests – which was the perfect way to end the night. These gestures meant so much to us. After the wedding, she provided an amazing recap and even looked-out for us with anything that came up with the church/venue. Selvin and I truly felt that Diana cared to make the day as special as possible, which made the whole experience super comfortable and beautiful.
Diana – thanks again! Forever grateful!

Outstanding
Diana and the Passionate Weddings team were the quickest and most efficient team I have ever seen. They handled every last minute request, snag or change of plans like true professionals. The whole wedding flowed like a dream and we got multiple compliments from our family and guests about how flawless and easy the day felt. I wholeheartedly recommend them to every other bride who is looking for a cool, calm and collected planner. -

Amazing, stress free experience!
I worked with Diana from Passionate Weddings on a styled wedding shoot here in Seattle. We had a little over a month to plan everything and she wrangled together a full set of vendors, kept everything extremely organized, was always quick to respond to emails, and helped the shoot flow well. She eliminated all the stress I normally feel going into a styled shoot!
Although Passionate Weddings is new to the Seattle area, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Diana. She is a powerhouse at planning and organizing! I love that she is bilingual and full of knowledge about cultural traditions and I’m looking forward to working with Passionate Weddings again! -

Sarom Sent on 11/22/2018Phenomenal service. Memorable and stress-free Wedding Day.
My fiancé and I got engaged on Christmas Day of 2017. Around April of 2018, my fiancé decided that she wanted to have our wedding on our anniversary date that year – November 11. I felt the decision was a bit rash with only 7 months to plan and coordinate a wedding. Doubting that anything would materialized, I allowed my fiancé to humor her own idea of planning and coordinating a wedding. Four months into the planning, I realized that this wedding was going to happen and IMMEDIATELY encouraged her to consider acquiring a month-of wedding coordinator. It took a while for my fiancé to realize that she could not be the bride and the person to execute her vision on her wedding day – it is not possible. My sister who was also planning a wedding (2019) had mentioned to me that she had acquired a month-of wedding coordinator and was very pleased with her decision. I had asked my sister for more information which brought us to Passionate Wedding Planning Services. My fiancé chatted with Diana over a phone call and was immediately impressed by the preliminary help and advice provided during her consultation. My fiancé was so set on acquiring a month-of coordinator from Passionate Wedding Planning Services that we adjusted our wedding budget to accommodate having Diana as our month-of wedding coordinator. With four months to go until our wedding date, I could immediately sense a huge amount of weight taken off my fiancé’s shoulders. My fiancé and Diana had several email exchanges and phone conversations during the month leading up to the wedding. Details of vendors contracts, payments, wedding day timeline were meticulously combed over and refined. We had a preliminary finalized timeline a week prior to our wedding date. This PDF document covered every possible detail you could imagine relating to the wedding day. The timeline was shared with all our vendors to ensure that my fiancé’s vision for our wedding day was executed. Our wedding day was wonderful. Our photographer knew when and where to be to for photos. Diana coordinated transportation from our hotel to our photo session and to the venue. Throughout the day, I would question myself – how in the world would we have been able to pull this off without a wedding coordinator! Our wedding day was amazing. Our guest had a blast. We were even able to enjoy the food and music we selected all thanks to Diana. I would highly encourage anyone considering a month-of wedding coordinator to get one without hesitation. And from my experience, I highly recommend Passionate Wedding Planning Services. Thank you Diana and her assistant Christin for making our wedding day memorable, enjoyable and stress-free. -
Tereza Sent on 09/14/2018“Words can not express how much we LOVED working with Passionate Weddings. Diana and her team are AMAZING! Diana helped us plan our entire destination beach wedding and reception in under 3 months. When we thought it was impossible, she made it possible. She captured our entire vision while keeping us calm and organized from the very beginning. Our wedding day was very relaxed and perfectly coordinated. We are truly and forever grateful for all of Diana’s guidance, trust, and expertise in making our wedding planning process a wonderful experience.”

Edna Sent on 06/28/2018Diana did a wonderful job planning my Son’s wedding. She worked closely with my daughter in law for over a year to make sure the day was perfect and exactly what she wanted. Diana paid attention to every detail to make sure the wedding was organized and beautiful. On the wedding day, she took care of all of the logistics so we could all enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about anything except celebrating and having a good time. The wedding would not have been the same without Diana and we are so grateful for everything she did to make the day perfect!

Kay Sent on 02/02/2018When searching for a wedding planner, we prioritized finding someone who had experience in planning multicultural weddings. Not only that, we were looking for a planner we could rely on to do the groundwork in DC since we were planning long-distance from New York. Upon our first meeting with Diana, we were thoroughly impressed by her knowledge of Brazilian and Chinese wedding traditions. She really listened to our vision and was able to help us find vendors who matched our specific needs/budgets. She was extremely helpful in finding decorations, even offering personal items like her own family's vases. Throughout the process, Diana was entirely supportive and understanding and maintained complete professionalism, always making sure all fees and services were clear and agreed upon. It was a sincere pleasure working with her and we highly recommend her to be your wedding planner! -

Marlene Sent on 12/20/2016Diana and Christin were true sanity-savers at our wedding this past weekend. They helped arrange for transportation to the "first look" site, made sure the ceremony and reception spaces looked amazing, and really helped coordinate everything with the venue, DJ, and other vendors!
