Ms. Diane, along with her assistants Ms. Meredith and Ms. Farzi, truly helped make our day feel like a fairytale. The team at Sweet Tea Events were fantastic - taking away the stress and headache of coordinating all of our vendors, to waiting on us and ensuring we are not only on schedule but have everything we wanted and needed on our wedding day. While we were hesitant at first to hire a wedding planner, thinking we could do it all on our own, we are incredibly grateful having chosen to work with Sweet Tea Events.

Wonderful experience
Diane provided such a wonderful experience. I planned my wedding from 10 hours away. She was quick to respond with any questions and was able to handle any unforeseen problems swiftly. Our catering closed 4 months prior to our wedding and Diane helped me find a new caterer without any more stress to me. She ensured the decorations were beautiful and the wedding day was perfect! I cannot say enough great things.

Excellent Consultation and Service
We were extremely pleased with the consultation and service we received from Diane Bardhi and her team at Sweet Tea Events! All of the vendors that she recommended for photography, hair and makeup, cake, limosine and the DJ were top notch! She worked closely with the Event Coordinator at the Marriott Hotel where we hosted the reception to ensure that our requests were received and agreed upon. Diane was a good sounding board when deciding what was important to "buy up" on and what was ok to keep "standard". She also coordinated with the wedding planners at the church. We were from out of town so it was early important that we had someone we could trust and count on to be on site for us. The wedding and reception went off without a hitch and we heard wonderful comments from family and friends about what a fun time they had! Thanks again Diane for all your help and hard work to make our wedding the one our daughter dreamed of!!!

Sweet Tea Events is 100% responsible for my perfect day
I am no stranger to the wedding industry and have had the pleasure of working with Sweet Tea for many years in Tallahassee. I have seen Diane execute countless flawless events, so when it was time to plan my own wedding it was a no-brainer that I needed her.
Since my fiancé and I decided on a venue in Nashville, we were worried that having a destination wedding would get complicated. However, Sweet Tea was amazing with helping us plan every detail from several states away and made my vision become a reality. Diane and her team traveled to Nashville to ensure that my wedding day went perfectly and they did not disappoint. It was even better than I could’ve imagined. Sweet Tea conducted the rehearsal, coordinated with vendors, handled all the decor, and made sure that the timeline ran smoothly. They were always one step ahead and made certain that everything went off without a hitch.
Their goal was to make sure we enjoyed every moment and I am so grateful. I couldn't have asked for a more seamless and stress-free planning experience. Diane is exceptional at what she does and she only surrounds herself with the best. I can guarantee that if you work with Sweet Tea, you won’t be disappointed!

Best service, affordable and awesome to work with
Sweet tea events and Diane is the absolute best. I worked with her for a partial planning package which was the perfect way to plan my wedding but have the support and advice to ensure the day went well. Planning and guidance provided were always honest, options presented, and solutions found quickly. Diane’s detailed oriented and laid back personality was ideal for making sure our wedding day was perfect. She took care of everything day of and I had no worries. She does it all- planning, setting up, table arrangements, event management, take down and support. She also always found was to save us money and let us know when it’s important to not skip corners. She works so well with many tallahassee vendors and has multiple connections to find you the best choice for vendors and event elements. If you are considering a planner, look no further! Sweet tea is the best around!

Wedding Coordinator
My daughter had an intimate wedding at McClay Gardens. Since it was just family and close friends I thought I would be able to handle it. Boy was I wrong! Pretty close to the wedding I panicked and reached out to Diane. She stepped right up and took over everything. She was easy to work with and always quick to respond. She was right there early on the wedding day and I left her there as she was cleaning up. The day was perfect and I was able to enjoy it. The only regret that I have is that I didn’t hire her sooner.

Best Money I Spent on My Wedding!
Diane was an absolute pleasure to work with! There were so many things I knew I didn't know about wedding planning that she was able to jump right in and assist with, which made my wedding a stress-free event! I knew that I'd save money with a wedding planner and Diane was instrumental in helping me with that. She brought so much value to my wedding experience that I'm not sure how anyone could plan a wedding with her. I also saved so much time! I was working full-time and finishing my last semester of graduate school when I was wedding planning. Diane stayed organized and on top of my to-do list so that I didn't have to. I really can't recommend her enough!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure working with you as well! Loved seeing everything come together on your beautiful day❤

You will not go wrong with Sweet Tea Events!
Diane was extremely helpful with connecting us to the best vendors and keeping me on task without overwhelming me with choices. Due to COVID, we had to postpone our wedding for another year, which Diane quickly handled and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Without Diane’s services, I would have likely been stressed during the whole process, and she put me at ease!! The special day went perfectly even with the rainy weather and all my guests had a blast!

Sit back, relax and get married!
Diane is a rockstar! I was a full-time student and extremely busy while wedding planning, but Diane made everything happen. I sent her some pictures of decorations I liked and she made it look the exact same!
I'd never really been involved in a wedding before, so I had no idea where to begin, but Diane and her team helped me with everything, and had wonderful suggestions for any complications we had- which we really didn't have many.
Overall, great team! I can't wait to have another event so that I can hire them!

Diane Bardhi - WE LOVE YOU!!!
Hey, are you getting married? HIRE A COORDINATOR!!!!!!! Just do it. I have seen the stress brides-to-be go through trying to do it all themselves. Need a recommendation? SWEET TEA EVENTS. Professional, kind, fun--everything you ever wanted. My husband did not think we needed one. By the end of the process he looked at me and said, "I am so thankful for Diane!" We really could not have done it all ourselves. Her staff is amazing, she is amazing, I don't even know what to write here to explain, because WORDS JUST CAN'T.

Saved My Wedding During COVID-19!
Diane came highly recommended to me when my small wedding threatened to balloon up to 350 guests. She met with my mother and me to tour our venue, plan the decorations, and be ready to intercede with some anticipated challenging guests months before our wedding. She was always available by e-mail and on short notice by telephone for calming consultations. Then, two months before our wedding, the pandemic forced us to cancel the big plans. She reached out to me even before I knew what form my new plans would take. We were ultimately married outside in a three-person ceremony. When the social distancing guidelines required that my family and friends stay away on those present total no more than 10, Diane was the one I needed and trusted to step in to pick up and decorate the cake, arrange the room for our champagne toast, put the bunting on our car, and care for the details of our wedding like my family and friends would have. Her flexibility in scheduling and care on the most special day of my life made all the difference. I am very grateful to have had her on my team and recommend her to help with your wedding, be it big or small!!
Sweet Tea Events's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I was thrilled that I could still be a part of your beautiful day. While it wasn't what you originally envisioned, your intimate ceremony was so perfect in every way. I'm so happy I was able to be with you from the beginning of your planning process. It was an absolute pleasure working you!!

Amazing!!!
Diane and her team were phenomenal! Diane always addressed my questions and concerns within minutes of me asking. My mother and I would say Sweet Tea Events was our best decision. Our wedding day ran so smooth thanks to Diane and her team. She was a light and a joy to work with. She eased my worries and put out fires. I can’t imagine having planned or had my wedding without the help of Diane. I will recommend Sweet Tea Events to all of my friends getting married or anyone planning a large event!

Planning and Logistical Excellence
We hired Sweet Tea Events to run our day-of coordinating and they did an incredible job. From the beginning steps, Diane and her team took care of everything we could think of and even more from what we didn't. From start to finish they had us on a timeline, looking at goals and milestones along the process, and executed on our wedding day. Each vendor was in their assigned location and on time, with the exception of one who arrived late. Their communication before, during, and after our wedding courteous, timely, and professional, and they kept everything organized and the wedding party informed. We worked with Merritt, and she handled the day and really was the chief reason things ran so smoothly for us. I would highly recommend Sweet Tea for a wedding, they know their trade and will ensure you have the best time possible.

A perfect day thanks to you all!
We hired Diane’s team for day-of-coordination for our wedding and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! Diane was really responsive and helped us throughout the whole time we were planning and answered all of our questions (including reading through my gigantic emails detailing how to set everything up, questions I had, voicing general anxiety.....lol). Diane’s team (led by Merritt on the day of) made the whole day super easy so I could focus on getting ready, and they really understood our vision for how everything would be set up and we really appreciated the work that they put in to that, plus directing us for where we needed to be and when. We could not have imagined our day without you all, thank you so much!

Truly Exceptional
Diane and her team at Sweet Tea are truly exceptional. Diane was our wedding coordinator and I can honestly say I could not have had the most incredible wedding of my dreams but for her help throughout the entire process. When the pandemic hit, Diane was there to make sure we could find another date in 2020 to get married. She worked her magic and made sure everything transitioned seamlessly. She helped us reduce our wedding size and helped me plan countless "COVID" details to make sure our wedding was as safe as possible. The day of the wedding, she and her team made sure our day went perfectly. I could not imagine our wedding without her help from the beginning to the end. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator or event planner. you will be excellent hands with Diane and her team. They truly go above and beyond.

Fabulous team!
Since I am also a vendor in the wedding industry, I knew on my wedding day I wanted to relax and that meant I needed a planner! I've worked with Diane over the years many times and have always admired her calm and effective organization at events. I was so happy to have her and Merritt. They made everything so smooth and I had a perfect day!
