I've been putting off writing this review for two reasons- 1. There's not enough words in the English (or Spanish) dictionary that could help me truly express how thankful I am to have found Diana. I wanted to do her justice with my review and kept falling short with my words. 2. Writing the review would mean I'd have to accept the fact that my wedding is over and I'm no longer working with her. Since the beginning, Diana was so incredibly warm and approachable...she felt like a friend. After our very first conversation, I knew I had found "the one." And boy was I right. Every time I had a freak out, Diana was there to calm me down and steer me in the right direction. She honestly started helping me even before I officially booked with her. Booking with her also saved me thousands of dollars!! I didn't know it at the time, but Diana became not only my planner, but also my florist (she made my bouquets which were better than any Pinterest post I showed her), my venue designer (she decorated my sweetheart table and I think I cried when I saw it), my baker (okay she didn't bake the cake but she decorated it and wow!), my graphic designer (y'all, she made my save the dates-which then became the inspo for the wedding theme), AND she recommended the best HMUA (My friend is super picky and even she loved her makeup). Lastly and probably most importantly for my sanity, she was my shoulder to lean on with anything and everything wedding related. I asked for and trusted her advice, not just as a professional, but as a recent bride and friend. She always had my best interest in mind and advised me accordingly. I cannot stress this enough: Diana helped me have the wedding of my dreams. It was better than anything I could have ever imagined. She crawled so I could fly lol. She literally handled everything at the venue the day of and I never, not for a single second, worried about a single thing. So tap your shoes together three times, wish upon a star, blow on some dandelions, and use a lucky wishbone so that Diana is available to help you with what will surely be the most magical day ever. Contrary to what my ex-fiancé (now husband) thought at the time, YES. We absolutely did need a coordinator. Diana, words can't express how thankful my husband and I are for your help. We had so much fun, we want to do it again!! But maybe in a few years after we've saved up. read more

I had Diana as my fairy godmother. And I theirs no way I would have been able to put a timeline together, call vendors, set things up, stay on schedule, do everything we wanted to do, without pulling my hair out! Having a whole team behind you really does make the whole experience enjoyable and exciting. The day of, I didn't have to worry about anything. Once at the venue Diana and America made sure we stayed on schedule, made sure we ate and always had a drink. Initially i thought I can do it and have friends help, but leaving most of the planning, timing and directing, to them. Leaves us to just enjoy every moment. Thank you Diana and America for your hard work!! read more

Where can I even start? Her last name is Belles... as in wedding BELLES... as in Fairy godmother. What other indication do you need that she in fact is THE BEST FREAKING WEDDING PLANNER IN THE WORLD?! From the moment I found her I knewwwwwww she was the right one. Like a typical guy, my husband had decided that we did not need a wedding planner. He was sure we could do it on our own (Umm yeah no). Previous to finding Diana, we had spoken with 5 other planners. 3 Ghosted us, the fourth was planning on doing one other wedding on our day and the 5th was out of our price range. Let me save you all the hassle now and tell you to HIRE DIANA NOW!!!! After our first email exchange we set up a Zoom meeting the next day and we were sold. She understood the vision. We hired her 1 years and 5 months from our wedding. Throughout the whole process she truly was our fairy godmother. She was always a quick text away. It was not at all a client/vendor relationship, she really is a friend and advocates for you. She has so many connections and she does her best to find what's best for you. All of this instilled a confidence in me. She really does have the best ideas. Wedding day came around and I really let go!!! She had a conversation with me the week of the wedding to remind me to really enjoy my day. The day of my wedding something clicked in my head, I was marrying my best friend and a new chapter was starting for me. I'm a total type A person, but for that day I left it all to Diana and it really was the best day of my life. When I say she "got it" I mean she TRULY got it! The ceremony started promptly and may I say we were ahead of schedule the WHOLE day?! When do you hear that about weddings?! I also want to add that her assistant Laura is such a sweetheart. She came to introduce herself to me and gave me a quick rundown to remind me to just enjoy my day. It was during our first dance that I looked past my husband and we both looked into our reception and saw the flickering candles and all of the details Diana and Laura put all over our venue and we just started balling our eyes out. It was such a dream. There was no issue that I had to resolve, they took care of everything. I am so thankful to Diana and Laura. They truly went above and beyond. She is who you NEED during the process and day of, not a vendor but a friend. Thank you Diana, I am literally indebted to you for life. read more

I cannot imagine pulling off our wedding without Diana. She turned a DIY venue into an all inclusive by connecting us with fantastic trusted vendors from photography to furniture rentals, and she personally handled all of our flowers including the bouquet, arch, and all of our centerpieces. She stayed true to our vision, and Pinterest board, and executed it flawlessly. Even before the wedding day Diana personally talked to the chef handling our catering to make sure that our guests with allergies were taken care of. She also provided thoughtful guidance on how to create a comfortable experience for our guests at an outdoor venue in the middle of summer. Diana and her team made our big day run smoothly and we cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work! read more

Thank you to Diana for taking care of our big day. All the information throughout the whole process helped us out a lot. Without her guidance...I would've been lost for sure. She sent me an excel sheet that helped me put together all my vendors and when they had to be booked. Because of this I was able to have everyone just in time for the big day. She was able to answer all my questions and was never hesitant to answer any of them. The big day! There were things that happen that was out of her control because sadly we didn't have an amazing catering company. He didn't cut our cake and was drinking on the job. (The Rising Phoenix LBC) don't hire them. I'm warning you now!!! We also had the owner of our venue show up and it really put a damper on the big day. (Don't rent out your estate for weddings if you're not comfortable about it) The only thing I wish happened was that the cake got cut. Wedding planners oversee everything and if something doesn't happen they jump in and do it. I know she would have taken initiative if the house owner wasn't a pain in the ass and pulling her left and right away from her job. Throughout my wedding I felt bad what Diana had to endure with her and the catering company. I can go on and on about it. But despite everything and all the trouble that was put in front of Diana. She made it worked and was just amazing through it all. Every little details that I had listed was laid out exactly how I wanted. She brought Blake and I food and drinks and made sure we were fed and having the time of our life's. Everything was boxed up and in its place after the wedding. I don't know how she did it but it was fast. Lol I would hire Diana over and over again. This time I will make it a little easier and not have such a crAzy caterer. Blake and I love you dearly and we couldn't have done this wedding thing without. read more

Diana and her team were a pleasure to work with! As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted a planner/ day of coordinator.. it took me a bit to convince my now husband but since the very first phone call with Diana we knew we had to work with her! She was always very responsive, from any questions I had, to recommending vendors, to even finding a backup makeup artist 3 days before my wedding (since my original one cancelled on me)!! The day of the wedding her and her team were on top of everything and made sure everything was taken care of and on time. My main reason for having someone to help coordinator the day of the wedding was so my parents and in laws did not have to worry about anything and could enjoy the day, Diana made sure it was that way & for that I am extremely thankful!! read more

Diana is amazing!!! I hired her as our day-of-coordinator & she absolutely went above and beyond. From the very beginning she was very helpful with making sure I had everything right and suggesting amazing vendors to us. She made our entire wedding happened and it looks so stunning thanks to her and her incredible assistant!! I received so many compliments for her from my family because they were also so impressed with how great she handled everything. She was very professional & so efficient with setting up and making sure everything was on time. Days before the wedding, she made sure to send out our finalized timeline to all vendors to all be on the same page. I can't say enough great things about her and I am so glad I went through with hiring a day of coordinator. She does so much & there is no way I would have been able to do it without her or her assistant. Thank you both for everything!! read more

This post is long over due, but I am so fortunate to have had Diana and her team by my side during my very hectic wedding. She really helped me with all aspects of planning, which I really needed at the time because I was planning a wedding while in school and working. Before the wedding, she helped me find the most amazing affordable vendors and helped me figure out what questions to ask them to ensure I got what I needed. She kept me on track with all the things I had to do for the wedding and offered suggestions when the budget got tight or an issue came up. My guests still rant and rave about her professionalism as a day of coordinator. She kept everything on track and when one of our sweetheart table decor boxes didn't show up to the venue, she did what Diana does and figured it out. She used some of the flowers from our archway and borrowed some decor pieces from our dessert table to make our sweetheart table beautiful. I would highly recommend Diana, I couldn't have done it without her! read more

I have worked with Diana of Knots and Belles many times. She is such a joy. She consistently handles situations in a positive professional manner and is always helpful and reliable. I have seen her go out of her way to make things happen for clients. You can definitely count of her to get the job done and make it memorable. Tina Sheets Floral Paradise read more

I initially hired Diana based on the glowing reviews that I read about her on various websites and examples of work I had seen, but unfortunately, I did not have a glowing experience with her. I started my wedding planning process 2 years ahead of our wedding and was looking for partial wedding planning since I was planning our wedding long distance. I was looking to meet our planner in person, since it was important to me that my fiancé and I get along with the person we are entrusting with our special day. In our initial call, Diana insisted that meeting in person was not a problem. Due to our jobs, we were only able to meet during the weekends, which we communicated to her at the time of booking. We booked her in January and by July, we still had not been able to coordinate a time to meet. It was disheartening to deal with this, because my fiancé and I were doing our best to be flexible with our schedules to meet with her and it felt like we were being unreasonable in trying to meet her in person. 7 months went by and no meeting took place. When I raised this concern with her, she insisted that we never made this agreement. I was so upset because if this was the case, I would have NEVER booked her. I also had concerns about Diana's ability to review contracts in a timely manner, which I felt the need to have to follow up on constantly, including large contracts for the caterer and photographer. She dropped the ball on this part of our contract. I also felt that Diana was not truly understanding my overall vision and would recommend vendors that were the complete opposite of what I had expressed to her. When I addressed all the above concerns with her, she was incredibly dismissive of my point of view and kept insisting that I should not worry because my wedding was still 2 years away and that meeting in person was no a big deal because she planned tons of weddings long distance. She also expressed concerns about my decision making (?) which was never a problem until I brought up all of my concerns. I also used an anonymous instagram to follow wedding accounts, including hers, which she blocked. I messaged her just to give her a heads up that the account she blocked was mine, and she responded incredibly defensively and unprofessionally. She also made unprofessional comments on her business Instagram commenting on people's choices to have larger wedding parties, which was concerning. My fiancé and I ultimately decided to dissolve our contract with Diana and I was very bummed it turned out the way it did. I do not recommend Diana and her services, especially to long distance couples. read more

Diana was really great to work with! She was very helpful from the beginning. Although we hired her for the day of coordination, she went over and beyond to help us with more than just the day of prep. She had lots of connections and recommendations for different wedding vendors and also had great ideas on how to do things on a budget. She was checking in on me throughout the wedding planning process to make sure I wasn't stressing too much and offered help when she saw I was struggling. The day of went smoothly and if there were any hiccups I knew nothing about them as Diana and her team took care of everything! I would definitely recommend Diana if you'd like to have a stress free wedding! :) read more

Diana was amazing!! She's so much more then a day of coordinator. She was in communication with us from time of booking. I did not have to worry about a thing on our day. She executed our vision perfectly and thought of things we would have never thought to. It was so nice to be in the moment and know things were being handled. If anything went wrong I had no clue. Anything I asked of her was done without hesitation. She's beyond sweet, professional, and easy to communicate with. I'd book her again if given the choice! I'd recommend her to anyone. Book her and you'll have a great experience! read more

Diana was everything a couple could ask for as a Planner/Coordinator. She arranged both our wedding and proposal! She coordinated with and recommended vendors, managed the wedding and ceremony day of, helped bring the brides vision to life, and did so at a rate that didn't break the bank. Highly recommend. read more

Diana and her team were great! She is very professional and detail oriented. I would highly recommend her for any one who wants their event to run smoothly. read more

Diana was the vendor I hired (even before I booked my venue) and she is literally worth every penny. I feel terrible for trying to haggle her down, because after all that she has done for me (and my wedding hasn't even happened yet) I tell her constantly she needs to raise her prices. She has literally paid for herself in the savings she has gotten me in vendor recommendations, and saved me from making some brutal mistakes in my DIY wedding. I'm a demanding bride as I have already been planning with her for the last 8 months and we have 10 more to go, and talk almost daily. She's straight up but the sweetest person ever, and is really passionate. HIRE HER, HIRE HER, HIRE HER. read more

Thank you Diana for being our day-of coordinator! You kept everything on schedule and if there were any incidents, we never found out which was great! My hubby & I had fun and enjoyed our selves because we didn't have to worry about a thing! Thanks again for all the help, the work you put in and everything else you did behind the scenes and everything else we didn't notice cause we were having too much fun! read more

There are not enough words to explain how amazing Diana is! Since the day we booked her as our coordinator, she was constantly checking in on us and made the whole wedding planning process seamless. She kept in close contact with our vendors, always making sure they were up to date with the details. We trusted her more than ever and put a lot of details into her hands; which she really has a talent for. She stuck with us through a canceled wedding, three different wedding dates, and made the next step in planning the least amount of stressful (and not to mention dealing with a rainy wedding day). She has amazing vendor recommendations and her staff is wonderful! We are now blessed to be able to call her a friend. read more

I hired Diana as our month-of-coordinator and she has been amazing. From offering suggestions for decor to pointing out things that I didn't even consider in my own planning, she does not miss a beat! Unfortunately, like many other Spring 2020 brides, my envisioned wedding day has been postponed due to Covid-19. The process of postponing has inevitably been stressful and emotional, but Diana has truly been such a support to me on a level that goes deeper than our professional relationship. She has accommodated me for my new wedding date in 2021 and is even working on a package to support other brides who are still hoping to elope on their original 2020 wedding date. I am so thankful for her steadfastness in this season of uncertainty and for how she continues to support me as I prepare for my intimate backyard wedding at the end of the month. I will update this review when I have my big wedding next year; but for any fellow Corona brides - if you don't have a coordinator yet and are looking for someone to assist you as you navigate the heartbreaking process of postponing your dream wedding, Diana is your girl. And for brand new brides who are looking for a place to start when it comes to planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic, Diana is also your girl! In a nutshell, she really can handle it all, and she strives for excellence every step of the way. Thank you, Diana! read more

Diana is amazing. She's thoughtful, detailed, warm, and all around professional. Using her services was a wise choice. If you want a coordinator who is professional, sharp, intuitive, and easy to work with, choose Diana. read more

Diana and her assistant were amazing! They were both very kind and made sure my husband and I were taken care of through the day. I had thought about just handling the day without a coordinator when I first started planning my wedding. Boy was I glad I didn't do that and made the great choice of hiring! read more

Diana was amazing! I hired her as my day-of wedding coordinator. She was really sweet, very professional and responsive. She gave lots of ideas for my wedding. Suggested a great florist which worked out really well. She really helped me stay on budget. She reached out to my vendors before the wedding. She helped me with wedding plans months before my wedding. On the day of my wedding, she put out all my wedding decors, place settings and worked with all my vendors. We were way behind schedule but she never made us feel rushed and told us to not worry and enjoy our day which really calmed my nerves when I was getting worried about being an hour or so behind schedule. I don't know how but she pulled it off. We had an amazing time and that couldn't have happened without her help. Thank you so much Diana for all your help before and during our wedding! She is highly recommended!!! read more
