If you want to reduce the stress of wedding planning and have the wedding of your dreams, then, Diane is your woman!!! It was such a relief knowing we could trust her with every detail of our wedding day. She helped us prepare over the course of 16 months. We cannot thank her enough for all her patience and expertise with handling our enormous wedding party (28 people), orchestrating our vendors and answering so many of our questions and concerns during the course of the preparations. She was always available and happy to give us her assistance and feed back. Diane truly went above and beyond in EVERY respect, and gave us the most elegant and memorable wedding ceremony and reception that a couple could ask for! I am personally very detail-oriented and I was so impressed how Diane remembered all of requests and went above and so effortlessly. As for all the florals and my bridal bouquet.........I absolutely loved them, they were exactly what I envisioned!!!! Thank you so much Diane!!!

Mrs. Diane Lopez is an amazing, compassionate, & calm person. When wedding planning- my biggest…read morething that i wanted perfect was the flowers. She would meet with me at a coffee shop as many times as i needed... And she listened to my every detail. I didn't know at the time- but she's also a wedding day of coordinator. She could see my whole picture and my flowers were stunning. She helped me to pull in a Southern, rustic, vintage, beach feel (you ask yourself- is that even possible!?) but she made it possible. I loved how she stayed through the ceremony to make sure my reception was set up well. After my reception- I had my flowers dried ... And a year later- I bought more flowers for our home- because other than marrying my guy- the flowers really were one of my favorite parts of our wedding. Mrs. Diane is reliable and has a huge beautiful and compassionate heart. I 100% recommend Exquisite Designs. (too bad i can't post a photo by the way!!)

When my aunt, who is a senior citizen/widow, met and fell in love again, we were all overjoyed. Two…read moreyears later, they got engaged. When they said they were hiring a wedding planner, I was skeptical. It seemed like the idea of a wedding planner was a waste of money, especially when expenses can pile up for a wedding. Well, I've never been more wrong. They made things so much easier for my aunt, and it was the best money she spent. And, it was the best wedding I've ever been to. If I weren't already married, I would want to get married -- just to use their services!!! Since my aunt doesn't Yelp, I figured I'd write this review. I'm sure she would have said a lot more about how and why they were so great. I'll just end by saying -- you won't spend better money on your wedding.

On the day of the wedding, Kristin was extremely professional and handled everything in a very efficient manner. Our wedding day went by so smoothly, and there were no hiccups the entire day.

We have so much to be thankful for because Kristin assured that the entire weekend was spectacular. It was an amazing weekend, one that we will always remember. Thank you Kristin!

We can't give Wendy enough praise! We planned our wedding in San Diego all the way from San…read moreAntonio, Texas and Wendy was so open and wonderful to work with, even from miles away. A few weeks prior to our wedding, I got very sick and Wendy began working with my aunt and uncle in San Diego to make sure everything was taken care of while I recovered. I so appreciated her flexibility! We finally met Wendy in person the morning of our wedding as she was setting up our room at Marina Village. She and her staff were so friendly and gave us a lot of great advice. In fact, she saved us a lot of stress by allowing us to hire her cleaning services the day of the wedding! She and her staff showed up at 9:30pm and began cleaning up, slicing the cake for us, and making sure all was clean by the end of our party. What a life saver!! She went above and beyond! Plus, her decorations were fabulous - everyone was raving! From the centerpieces, to the table linens, and spandex chair covers, everything was beautiful. We totally recommend Wendy for your special event needs. We really can't say enough great things about her. Thank you, Wendy and staff!!

TLDR: Not tech savvy, disorganized emails, requires a lot of management, canceled on us but still…read morecharged us cancelation fees, won't refund day-of-service fees. She is a very strange and frustrating person to work with. She doesn't seem very tech savvy. She chooses to use Venmo but doesn't seem to understand how the platform works. We venmod her payment and she rushed delivered the amount into her account instead of waiting 24 hours. It cost her $25 for the rush delivery and she scolded us for it. We felt bad for her because her response seemed over the top for $25, so we venmod her $25. I know people are struggling right now. Her email chains are also very confusing and all over the place. Most planners use a planning module to help stay organized with clients, but with Theresa, it was a lot of emails and very hard to keep track of. She even got the start time of our baby shower wrong .. the disorganization with the emails might have been the cause. Now onto the primary complaint. We had hired her because she was local to the area that we wanted to have our baby shower. Unfortunately, we were not able to find a venue in the San Diego area. We ended up planning to have the shower at our home. As fate would have it, the shower was scheduled on the day of the tropical storm. Our guests and us felt comfortable as it was going to be at our home. The day before, I had reached out to Theresa to solidify the plans and set-up times for the shower and she stated that everything was good to go. Then, a few hours later, Theresa reached out and stated that the other vendor canceled and that she (Theresa) also felt uncomfortable due to the storm. I understood their concerns. I had two options moving forward - drive to pick up the decor and catering OR cancel the baby shower. We didn't feel confident in our abilities to decorate and set up the baby shower on our own, so we canceled for the time being. In the following week, we discussed a possible new date with family and agreed on 9/2. Because the cancellation was so last minute, we incurred fees with the furniture rental company. What was strange was that even though she and the other vendor canceled on us, they were both still charging us cancellation fees and the costs for flowers. We did some investigating and contacted the other vendor. She stated that Theresa told her that we canceled first, while Theresa told us that she canceled first. When confronted, Theresa stated that she "strongly suggested" canceling but didn't actually use the words cancel. It was very manipulative. I wish Theresa was more transparent. I wish she would have communicated with me and told me her concerns, so we could have come up with a plan. We knew the storm was coming and could have made arrangements to avoid incurring extra costs. Instead, she waited until the last minute to cancel on us. She was dishonest, too, which is really disappointing. My assumption is that she knew what she was doing (telling us the vendor cancelled first, then telling the vendor that we canceled first) so she couldn't be blamed for anything. As of right now, I told Theresa that based on the dishonesty and the fact that I am being billed for cancelation fees due to her decisions, I don't feel comfortable having her move forward with the new baby shower date. I told her that the best course of action is to cut ties. I requested a refund for her hourly rate for day-of services and the grazing table, as the event hasn't happened yet. She declined stating that now, "I canceled." The irony. All in all - I do not recommend her as planner for the disorganization, dishonesty, and lack of customer service. She is not out any money. In fact, the day-of services and grazing table cost $2000, so she made out like a bandit without having to do any work. (Keep in mind that I already paid her $1000 for planning, which of course, I am not requesting a refund on.) I, on the other hand, am being billed cancellation fees and am out $2000. I'm about a month away from our due date but do plan on having this reviewed in small claims.

She was there exactly when I needed her to be there, and helped me get my entire wedding decorated the day before and the day of. My ceremony was supposed to be outside, but unfortunately it rained, so everything had to be moved inside. Amanda was there to make sure everything looked perfect, and that the whole wedding was completely set up, even though I decided just about an hour before the start time I wanted it to be moved inside. The timeline was on point and everything went very smoothly. She really cares about making it your perfect day and will be there for you whenever you need her! I would recommend Amanda to anyone!!

Besides supervising and doing most of the set up, getting the rentals ready for pick up before I even realized the truck had arrived, herding family, and making sure payment got to everyone Amanda was also super responsive in the months leading up to the wedding, contacted all the vendors in advance, held onto most of the decorations for a couple weeks before, and oversaw the donation of the lawn games we used to a daycare and a hospital. Overall the day of coordinating was great and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Amanda checked in with me throughout the morning to make sure everything was as I had wanted. And she did so much more than just day of coordinating. I still can't believe we got so much and such good help for as low a price as we got. I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a day of coordinator.
