    The Best of the Best !

    Cindy and her team are the best of the best. From planning to execution, they made sure our wedding day was flawless. Cindy was sure to review every detail in our monthly meetings and ensure goals were accomplished in a timely manner. The team handled all wedding day issues quickly and professionally. I couldn’t ask for a better team to execute our vision !

    Williams Wedding

    Ms. Cindy and her team were so professional. I could not have imagined planning my wedding without her. She helped me navigate the entire planning process. On the wedding day, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Our wedding was over a month ago and guests are still praising the seamless flow of it all. It’s all thanks to Ms. Cindy because she made sure all vendors were in order and my husband and I were where we needed to be at all times. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day. I would highly recommend.

    Exceptional service!

    Cindy was a Godsend. Hurricane Helene came through Augusta and devastated most of the buildings and left us without power for days. As we waited and wondered if the wedding would take place, Cindy was there every day with us. A week later, God turned on the power and my daughter and my now son-in-law were married before family and friends. Cindy was encouraging and remained professional, and she did an outstanding job on the day of the wedding. I can’t think Cindy enough for all she did from the beginning to the end to help make my daughters dream wedding.come true. I highly recommend Cindy the wedding planner.

We planned for a little over a year and when our big day came, I had no stress because I fully trusted Cindy and her team to handle everything. And they did! Our wedding was amazing and Cindy and her team exceeded my expectations. 10 of 10, would recommend!

    Appreciation for the Diva Wedding Planner

    We just wanted to express our gratitude for the incredible work done by The Diva Wedding Planner. She is absolutely the BEST! Without her precision, attention to detail, and dedication, our wedding wouldn't have been as smooth and memorable as it was. The entire team, comprised of Amy, Val, and Hazel, was simply AMAZING! Their professionalism, support, and follow-up with vendors ensured that our big day went off without a hitch. Working with them was not only comforting but also a joy. They truly turned our vision into reality, and we highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a top-notch wedding planner.

    I cannot say enough about Dr. Cindy McFadden

    I cannot say enough about Dr. Cindy McFadden—*The Diva herself*! She was the glue that held this entire surprise party together. Planning a surprise for an entire year is no easy feat, but she handled everything with poise, patience, and professionalism. I was freaking out at times, but she reassured me every step of the way. The result? A flawless, stunning event that my husband will never forget. Thank you, Diva, for bringing my vision to life for THE SECOND TIME might I add! You and your team were amazing!!

    Wedding Planner

    I had the best experience with The Diva Wedding Planner from start to finish. She was attentive, responsive, with a great personality, which made her the perfect wedding planner for our wedding. I was nervous when I started planning but The Diva Wedding Planner made the journey smooth. I told her exactly what I wanted and she was determined to make sure I was connected with the right vendors to make the dream come true. I am definitely a procrastinator but Ms. Cindy made sure I stayed on top of everything that was needed for the wedding. She demonstrated how much she genuinely cares about her bride/groom and making that one day you waited for, the best day ever. Thanks to The Diva Wedding Planner and her staff. Job well done!! Dreams come true.

    Diva Extraordinaire!!!

    Where do I even begin?! Ms. Cindy is the definition of standing on business! She is a soft spoken powerhouse in designer glasses and jazzy heels. We came to her after having some reservations about our initial planner/decorator. I called just on a whim to inquire about her services and was honestly surprised that she answered! Lol We chatted briefly and I instantly felt a sense of security that I hadn’t felt during the whole process. She made us feel so comfortable and not just like clients spending money but like family members she was proud to help! She didn’t hound us about payments or put emphasis on money, but she kept us on track and made sure everything was done in decency and order. We ultimately had to change directions and felt we needed to go with a different decorator due to personal and financial reasons. We sent the termination letter to our current decorator at 10pm in the evening and alerted Ms. Cindy of our decision and by 10am the next morning she already had us on a phone consultation with a new decorator! Our wedding was a production and she ran it with precision! Her team was so sweet and each member was amazing on wedding day! They were so attentive and brought a calming spirit to the atmosphere. They almost made me ask if I could apply for a part time job because I wanted to join the team! Lol but we honestly can not sing her praises enough. She helped make our fairytale become a reality. We loved everything about our experience with her and was honestly sad for it to end. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Attentive & Professional

    The Diva Wedding Planner provided us professional services before, during, and after our wedding. Her knowledge and expertise on ideas and vendors allowed us to make our own informed choices. She provided us with continuous communication morning, daytime, and evenings whenever we had inquiries. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend to those in need of a planner for that “special” occasion.

    Wedding Planner

    The Diva Wedding Planner was great from the beginning to end. She has a great personality and easy to communicate with. I am definitely a procrastinator but I really appreciate Ms. Cindy for keeping me on track, without her I know I would not have been as organized. I definitely needed her and she delivered. She was very responsive and always available when I had a question or needed her assistance. Thanks to a great wedding planner!!

    Amazing❣️❣️❣️

    From my very first phone call with Cindy my spirit was at ease. She was pleasant, professional and very thorough. I remember ending the call with a sign of relief. She was punctual with every planning meeting and matched me with the perfect vendors to ensure my event was a success. The team she assigned for the day of the event were so on point. They were always a step ahead with every detail. I was able to walk into the event without one worry! I highly recommend her and her team. You won’t regret it!

    10/10 Highly Recommended

    Cindy Was A Blessing!!! Before Hiring Her The Thought Of Wedding Planning Stressed Me Out. The Entire Year I Worked With Cindy Everything Was Stress-Free. Without Her I’m Not Sure How We Would’ve Did This On Our Own. On My Wedding Day Cindy Brought Her Team (Amy, Jamal, & Janissa) To Assist & They Were Amazing As Well. They Exceeded My Expectations Because If There Were Any Hiccups I Didn’t Know About It. I Couldn’t Have Asked For A Better Experience While Planning My Wedding With Cindy. She Is Worth It & Then Some!!!

    The GOAT Of Wedding Planning

    I can't begin to explain how Wonderful it was working with Cindy and her team. When we first reached out Cindy, we were almost 6 months away from our wedding and in a mess. Since the first conversation she gave me a sense of peace knowing that she could get the job done and get us on track. Cindy was always available to answer a million and one questions even would jump on a facetime call if I needed to speak to her regarding something. Being a bride the stress level can be overwhelming, but down to the moment before I walked down the aisle her team was right there. My husband was completely against a wedding planner and by the end of our wedding he is literally singing Cindy praises on how great she was and how our wedding day was perfect. If you are looking for a wedding planner TRUST ME, you cannot go wrong with this team. If anything went wrong that day, we have no clue about it.

    Wedding Planner

    Ms Cindy was the bomb! She was always literally just a phone call or text away. She was extremely thorough throughout our entire planning process. When our wedding day approached, everything was absolutely perfect and if there were any issues at all, we didn’t know because she and her staff handled the entire day with grace. Thank you so much Ms Cindy!

    A Dream Come True

    Completely Happy! Cindy was an outstanding wedding Planner. My fiancé and I knew early on that we wanted a Wedding Planner as we envisioned our big day. We interviewed a few wedding planner/coordinates and after speaking with Cindy, I knew she was the right fit for us. Boy-did Cindy deliver. She helped us feel secure every step of the way. She was open to hear our concerns and answered all of questions. Cindy was patient as we “mulled” over tough decisions, she didn’t force us to work with any specific vendor, and she gave us honest and candid feedback as we navigated through the planning process. Cindy was the consulate professional, and represented us well. The monthly check-in’s were on time and thorough, and she was there any time in between. As a Bride, things can become a bit overwhelming and the closer you get to wedding day the more you get nervous and uncertain about all the planning lol. Cindy was there whether it was at 5 a.m. or 10p, she responded to my text and reassured me that everything would be ok. Which was extremely comforting. The Day of the wedding she brought in a staff of assistants to work different portions of the ceremony and reception. 1 was assigned to the groom, 1 was assigned to me, 1 was assigned to pictures etc. She kept us on track, organized all of the things I brought in, made sure everyone (wedding party & vendors) were where they needed to be, and truly kept me calm. She was my right hand the whole day and made sure our wedding day was Simple, Classy and Elegant just as we wanted.
    Thanks to the Diva Wedding Planner’s positive, supportive personality and classy business model our wedding was Top Notch!

    Magnificent Wedding Planner.

    Having Cindy as our wedding planner was the best decision we could have made. She made wedding planning a calm and pleasurable time. From day one she made herself available for any and all questions that we had. She made sure we stayed on track as far as our planning schedule with monthly check-in meetings. The day of the wedding if anything went wrong I still don’t know about it! She handled everything effortlessly and made our wedding day a magical, unforgettable experience. I am beyond happy that we had Cindy on our team!

    Rev. & Mrs. China 7/15/22

    Dr. Cindy was amazing. I had no idea where to start with planning and I found her scrolling through social media. I reached out and she contacted me immediately and asked me to send her photos of what I liked and she took it from there. I didn’t worry about anything on my day. I highly recommend the Diva Wedding Planner and her staff. You exceeded my expectations and I’m truly grateful.

    Mr & Mrs Billups

    OMG….Still on cloud 9!!! When I first meet The Diva Wedding was at my best friend wedding and every since then I made up in my mind she was going to be my Wedding Planner ❤️ I still remember when I first got engaged I couldn’t wait to call her. When I called and ask her to be my wedding planner and she agree I was so happy and full with joy because I knew she was going to make sure my day was going to be perfect. Then here comes Covid-19 and our Wedding had to be put on hold and that’s when I was so upset and crying, but my husband had other plans he wanted us to still get married and we did. She was right by my side for that. Then had to change my date because of a double booking, but she made sure I find a other place and keep everyone that was playing a part for our wedding. From the DJ, Decorator, Photograph and etc. Long story short we had our Dream Wedding August 13, 2022 and it was everything we dream of. I can’t thank her enough for standing with me on this long journey and everyone that played a part in it. I see her more as family then my wedding planner. Thanks again for making our day a Dream Come True….Forever grateful

    If you want someone to help you plan your dream wedding and going to be by your side to the End she is the person for you. I promise she will not let you down.

    A Diva experience 🙌🏽

    There are no words that can fully capture our appreciation for The Diva Wedding planner!! Even before signing our contract, our first phone conversation with Her allowed me to see the thought and care she puts into her work and the dedication she provides to her clients. Every detail was planned and executed flawlessly while allowing us to relax and enjoy the moment! I initially thought i didn’t need a planner, however thinking about it now, there’s absolutely no way i could’ve done this without her. We wanted the focus on our wedding day to be about the wedding ceremony and celebrating that special moment with our family and friends. I can tell you with confidence that’s exactly the experience we got!
    Ms Cynthia guided us through the process providing suggestions and her expertise while constantly ensuring our personal wants and needs were the main focus.
    Anyone that has been apart of a wedding or planned a wedding knows that the wedding day can be incredibly stressful I can't tell you what that was like as a bride because Ms Cynthia and her team made sure I never dealt with any of that.
    She worked well with all of our vendors and made sure all of the details of our wedding was well thought out.
    My family can be hard critics but they raved on an on about how well Ms Cynthia did her thing planning & coordinating everything. Guest are still calling us 2 weeks later talking about how beautiful everything turned out and how it was one of if not the best weddings they’ve been to
