We worked with Claudia as our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic. Even in a coordination-only role, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was organized, calm, detail-oriented, and truly on top of every moving piece. Also greaaaat fashion sense, and always top of her game outfit wise On the wedding day, I felt completely at ease knowing she was handling timelines, vendors, and all the little things I didn't want to worry about. She anticipated needs before they came up and kept everything flowing effortlessly. Would definitely recommend Claudia to anyone getting married in LA or the surrounding area. read more

One Darling Day was by far my first choice when we started planning our wedding. I had followed her account on Instagram for some time before we were engaged and I loved how original, eclectic and intimate all of Claudia's weddings looked. We booked her early-she was our first vendor booked-which was the best call as I loved having someone I could go to to help me verify vendors, suggest design options, and answer other random planning questions throughout my 1 1/2 year-long engagement. Most notably was how Claudia handled the extreme weather that caused us to have to change venues, 2 days before our wedding. She very nimbly helped me translate our existing layout and communicate our decisions and preferences to the venue. I'm so thankful that she orchestrated an outdoor ceremony, which was my goal, and designed the most beautiful interpretation of my dream in a completely new space. Finally, Claudia was kind and lighthearted throughout the entire process, but has exactly the type of direct forward, take-charge manner that is so needed when coordinating a wedding! Claudia-thank you for everything! I already miss working with you! read more

Claudia was really easygoing and made things very simple, something my husband and I wanted in a planner/coordinator. The day of she took the complete lead in everything and I NOT ONCE had to worry about a thing. All our guests, my husband, and I were able to be fully present and enjoy our day! read more

Let me guess... You're looking for a wedding planner and you don't know who to choose? You're looking for just a "Day of Coordinator" and nothing else? Well friends, rest assure I got you... Let me give you the skinny on why I think Claudia at One Darling Day is your gal for your wedding. Like a lot of couples who are about to get married, we were a bit stressed, overwhelmed, and overly lost about what to do or who to choose. A lot of my friends don't have the luxury of choosing their own coordinator cause their venue provides their own coordinator. (It's like getting a court-ordered attorney who is there but doesn't really want to be there)..... Would you rather pay for your own attorney/coordinator who has who has your best interest as opposed to one who there just because? (If you're hell bent on a venue and they provide their own coordinator, then I'm sorry you're shit out of luck... Haha) The best thing about choosing your own wedding coordinator is you're in the driver's seat. The ball is in your court. The worst thing I could imagine is getting stuck with a shitty coordinator cause it came with a venue. Yet, that happens to a lot of my friends and people you know who on the day of the wedding, the coordinator just disappears and is nowhere to be found. This is your wedding. You should be in control of all aspects and the coordinator is no exception! We originally had gone with another coordinator but in the end we ended up axeing the other coordinator cause I'm about trusting my instincts and my gut and it was telling me to go with Claudia. We are super glad we did... We had a few initial meetings with Claudia at a nearby coffee shop to go over details and wedding rehearsal/timeline. She took detailed notes and is responsive to e-mail correspondence. She heard our suggestions and offered her own ideas but in the end she was respectful of our vision and aided us which is key.... She coordinated with the vendors, the venue, ran the rehearsal, and offered suggestions on the rehearsal dinner as well. She was extremely hands on which is the type of person you want working for you when it comes to your wedding. My super hyper critical unimpressed and usually overbearing parents were extremely impressed with Claudia as well and had nothing but nice things to say about her as well. Word to the wise: Choose a coordinator you trust and will know that will have your back on the day of your wedding. Claudia is seasoned and well under pressure and takes your suggestions to heart. There was never a time where we thought she was doing a sloppy 1/2 ass job. She was there from the start of when the venue opened and was one of the last ones to leave the venue at the end of hte night. I always judge a person on what they do not what they say and in that regard Claudia delivered as promised! Big ups to Claudia and her team for making our wedding run smoothly... J to the Y x 2 read more

Working with Claudia was such a special pleasure, and we will be preaching the her gospel to any and all in search of a planner extraordinaire!! Claudia is an incredible, creative thought partner, coordinator, stylist, and production lead all in one, and then some. She helped us think through and manage every detail of our wedding, helped connect us with amazing vendors, led our rehearsal with calming presence and confidence, and produced and managed a wedding that was more beautiful and lovely than we could hope for or imagine ourselves. Claudia is a proactive leader with a kind and service-oriented mindset who can anticipate needs, keep things confidently under control, and comes to the table with an incredible design eye to boot. With years of experience as a professional wedding/event planner behind her belt, an investment in One Darling Day is the smartest investment you will make for your big day. read more

claudia and i made the wedding of my dreams. she was beyond helpful throughout the planning process, giving us amazing recs and answering my many questions. she wasn't afraid to literally roll up her sleeves, and we worked together to execute something beautiful that we (+ our fams/friends) really appreciate. read more

We LOVED working with Claudia. It's pretty rare that you hire someone and walk away with a new friend, but that speaks to the quality of human Claudia is and the level of care that Claudia puts into her work. On top of that: 1. She's a fantastic collaborator. My husband is a designer, and I'm in marketing, so we had many opinions ;). However, Claudia has incredible taste, and we found that she helped us make our ideas better and always thinks about practical ways of bringing them to life. 2. She goes above and beyond. It felt so good knowing that Claudia cared about the wedding being amazing just as much as we did, and ALL of her actions showed me this during the planning process. 3. She has excellent relationships with INCREDIBLE vendors -- there was not a single vendor Claudia recommended that I would not hire again (flowers, catering, hair/makeup, DJ, valet, security, etc.) They were professional; they all matched the vibe and energy of our wedding. 4. She's dialed and experienced. I was blown away by Claudia's ability to know exactly how to orchestrate the logistics of our day. It's the knowledge that comes from years of experience, and it was invaluable. Because of this, EVERYTHING (I mean every detail) went according to plan. I wholeheartedly recommend Claudia and would hire her again! Thank you, Claudia! read more

My husband and I are so thankful that Claudia was recommended to us as our wedding coordinator. She is super organized, a great communicator, has a great eye for design, and is on top of all the small details that go along with a big event. She and her assistant, Cynthia, made our wedding feel effortless and, most importantly, we got to enjoy the day. read more

We had a really great time working with Claudia. She's responsible, decisive, reliable and has excellent style and taste. We needed help getting and staying organised and mostly being able to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about the details. Everything went so smoothly due to Claudia. I recommend her work highly! read more

I found One Darling Day on instagram and immediately reached out and I'm so glad I did. We hired her and she went above and beyond, even the point of helping my husband plan an afterparty. Because of the panorama, we worked with her for like two years and she helped us visualize and create a dream come true of a wedding even when we were close to throwing in the towel. Claudia is so positive and reassured us several times when chaos struck. She made sure we had all our contracts together, gave us wonderful vendor recommendations, and made sure we were present and having fun on our wedding day. She made our extravagant wedding day easy and not overwhelming for us. Also, her sense of design and style is unreal. Hire One Darling Day!! read more

My husband (yay!) and I booked Claudia for our day-of coordinator and we're so grateful for her help throughout our special day and the few weeks prior. She is a fantastic human and helped fill in gaps that we never even thought of! We had the best day and Claudia made sure that everything went smoothly to the point we were just floating on love and good times! Can't thank her enough for her help and expertise! read more

As a wedding photographer (my company is Kathy DeNinno Photography), I absolutely LOVE working with Claudia! She's so much fun, easy going, and really cares about her clients wedding day. All of the vendors and clients just love having her around! She has incredible style and such a vision for a wedding day, which you can see with all her stylish and amazing weddings! I always know it's going to be a dream day when I get to work with One Darling Day! I've attached a some images from a couple of my favorite weddings I've shot with her as part of the wedding vendors :) read more

I've worked with Claudia of One Darling Day for many different wedding and styling projects and I can truly say she is a pleasure to work with. She is organized, stylish, and had a great vision for the bigger picture of weddings and events as well as styled shoots - truly one of the best wedding planners in LA. She also knows the ins and outs of East LA and is a great resource for venues, vendors and collaborators! I truly couldn't ask for a better LA wedding planner and stylist as a colleague! read more

Claudia is the BOMB. If you're looking for Instagram-level artsy, well-styled wedding, Claudia is your girl. She has worked in this industry for 7+ years, so she knows exactly what she's doing. Initially, we were reviewing wedding coordinators for our wedding at the York Manor in Highland Park. After reviewing some other coordinators, we decided on Claudia and so glad we did. Our wedding was completely DIY (an empty venue) and had to rent everything from scratch. From meetings, pow-wow's, the rehearsal to the actual day, she just knows what is needed for the actual day that we would have not foreseen (things like: ice service, water, vendor details, etc). For most anxious couples, this is the first wedding, but she assures that it will go smoothly and everything that you communicate with her, will get done. She's honest and straight to the point, but also caters to your style as well. LOVED her work and style, highly recommend Claudia read more

Claudia is amazing -- we loved working with her for our crazy two day wedding. Truly could not have done it without her and her team. On one of the day's, we had a potential rain scare and she handled it so calmly and professionally. We were especially grateful for her in that moment. Claudia is the type of person who instantly feels like your best friend -- we had so much fun working with her and couldn't have imagined a better fit. She is amazing at what she does. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat! read more

We loved working with Claudia from start to finish she was amazing in helping us bring our wedding to life. She was so organized and professional. I loved her creativity in planning. I absolutely loved the day of the wedding it was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend her she was amazing!! read more

Claudia was absolutely incredible to work with and our wedding day would not have been the same without her expertise and guidance. She provided invaluable advice and recommendations for us during the planning stage, worked MAGIC with our venue space and rentals, and fostered and led a warm and collaborative environment for us and all of our vendors and guests. I'm still beaming from how wonderful the day/night was and Claudia is to thank! I had/have complete trust in her to make any couple's wedding dreams a reality. She is also the loveliest person and was a true JOY to work with. I can't say enough amazing things about Claudia, she really is the absolute best! read more

Not many people can look back on their wedding day and not think of a single thing that went wrong or that they would change. The reason my husband and I can do that is because of Claudia. She is incredible and brought all of our dreams to life on our wedding day. Not only is she an incredible planner, but she is also an incredible person and we loved all of the time we were able to spend with her. We could not recommend her enough. read more

We hired Claudia as our day of coordinator since our venue required one and we are so glad we hired Claudia. I read some other reviews that stated she wasn't punctual or responsive, but that was not our experience at all. Claudia texted me back and emailed me back in a timely manner every single time I reached out to her. She was also on time (early) for our venue walk thru meeting. She also was there for me when I was having trouble with catering and offered her expert advice on what to do (this was way out of contract but she did it anyway). The day of was amazing and went smoothly - she was on top of every vendor getting things done and handling all the nitty gritty details along the way. We could not have had this day run as smoothly as it did without Claudia and are ever thankful she agreed to take on our new years eve wedding! Thank you Claudia for all of your hard work and for going the extra mile (literally) to make our wedding as spectacular as it was. We loved working with you! read more

Elopement of my DREAMS!! HIGHLY recommend!!! Claudia was the ultimate planner- from helping me plan my initial wedding (before the pandemic), to switching the plan a few times, to deciding that an elopement would be the best decision for us... she was so deeply there for us every step of the way. Her ongoing support put me at ease throughout this process. Beyond that, Claudia has the BEST eye for all things beautiful, vibrant & sprinkles magic into everything she creates. Her unique attention to detail & eye for design is something that makes her sooo special... all of the little touches in our day made us feel like we were living in a dream world. It was absolutely STUNNING. It was like she knew the visions inside my head better than I did & was able to bring them to life. When I saw everything come together on the day, I was completely blown away & moved by how Claudia made it all happen for us so seamlessly. My husband & had an adventure elopement in the Big Sur area & everything turned out better than I could've ever imagined. I feel sooo lucky to have had Claudia's support & guidance throughout my wedding planning journey. I highly recommend having Claudia be there to help you create the wedding, elopement or event you've been dreaming of!! read more

Claudia and her assistant Abby were absolutely amazing. We hired Claudia as our month of coordinator for our September 22, 2018 Wedding. Claudia was so great from the moment of our first phone call. She was always upfront and honest with her recommendations and I loved that about her. She was always responsive to any questions that we had. One thing that I appreciated about working with Claudia is her own personal style and how that bleeds through in her brand as well. I believe its highly important to be able to vibe with your coordinator because they are the ones that will build your wedding into life. She did not disappoint! We did not have to worry about one thing on our wedding day. We had an amazing time enjoying the moment with all our guests and I am so glad that we had hired Claudia and her One Darling Day Team. read more

Claudia and her team at One Darling Day are incredible! I hired her for my week-of coordination, and she did an excellent job. Leading up to the wedding, she was responsive, shared helpful information such as recommendations for hair stylists, tipping guides, and timeline help. She met with my vendors on site, met with me for a final walkthrough, and carried out a rehearsal. Day of, she was amazing. I felt so supported, and didn't worry about a thing. I had a large 250 person multi-cultural wedding, and needed all the help I could get to make sure everyone was where they needed to be and that the event ran smoothly. Mid-way through the event, she ran out to get water bottles, extra ice, extra beer, etc, and didn't trouble me about it until after the wedding! Excellent service! I highly recommend Claudia and the One Darling Day team. read more

My dad and his fiancee were married on December 3 at a wonderful venue, where we also brought in a caterer, a florist, rented all the equipment and heaters, and had valet parking. We added live music and a film that utilized audio visual equipment. So, there was a lot to coordinate. Claudia was an integral part of making it all work smoothly and seamlessly. On the "day of", Claudia was there to take care of everything and coordinate, and we never were "bothered" about a thing. She's very easy to work with and a lovely person. Claudia enabled all of us to enjoy the event! Don't hesitate to have Claudia be a part of your special day. You won't regret it. read more

Claudia was referred to me by The Fig House along with several other planners but saw all the beautiful weddings she helped create and knew I wanted to work with her. I reached out to her and we had an initial meeting; we brainstormed what the overall look and vibe I was going for. We met once more with my florist and ended up texting easily enough when I had any other questions. Claudia's been doing this for a long time and has great style; I didn't even have to explain much before she knew exactly what I wanted! Even after all the planning, the rehearsal and day of went so smoothly- if something skipped I beat, we didn't even know! You can really rely on Claudia and she'll make sure it's the most special day of your entire lives. Claudia is extremely hardworking, genuine, and charismatic. We couldn't have planned our wedding without her! And the best thing, you'll want to be her best friend once it's over :) read more

I can't remember how I 'found' Claudia, but I'm so glad I did. It was important to me that my wedding planner be someone who I could talk to like a friend. I liked that I could talk to Claudia like a normal person. It never felt like she was trying to sell me on something that wasn't me. Claudia was great. She answered my many emails and texts. I wanted pizza at my wedding and she pointed me to Urban Pie--one of the BEST choices I made because I LOVED their food (I had pizza, meatballs, churros & ice cream!!!) When it mattered the most - wedding day - Claudia was ON POINT. She was super professional and made sure everything went smoothly. She also checked on me a lot to make sure I was ok, and to pull me away from awkward family situations if I were to give her the signal (I never had to use it). Something that really sealed the deal for me... was when I met Claudia for the first time, we mentioned that we both were not a red-roses kind of bride. I wanted something different and more personal than other weddings I had been to. It's so easy to fall victim to standard wedding things, but if you're looking for someone fun, innovative, unique... and you want your wedding that way too... then CLAUDIA is your girl. read more

Working with Claudia was one of the best decisions we could have ever made in lieu of planning our wedding day. Not only did it mean working with the front-woman herself, but it also meant working with the entire One Darling Day team (her preferred vendors and our Day of Coordinator, Avelene). We booked Claudia once we were 3 months out from the event date, when we had a better idea of what we wanted. Contractually and logistically, Claudia came at a really crucial moment, providing us with proper timelines, and templates to hone in everything we had put in place. On top of that, she went the extra mile with her expertise and made us feel extremely confident in our decisions. Her attention to detail and overall approach to aesthetic surpassed any expectations! This gave us tremendous support and peace-of-mind, not only on our wedding day, but the WEEK of our wedding. Without Claudia's help, we couldn't have felt so at ease, nor would we have TRULY enjoyed our wedding day stress-free and to the fullest. Beyond being an incredibly friendly professional, Claudia's lively spirit sets the bar high for anyone else in her field! We cannot stress enough how much we appreciated all of Claudia's hard work and support. As a small business owner, she has surrounded herself with a team of vendors and confidants that make working with her a dream come true. read more

Claudia helped to make our wedding day so special! Her energy is super easy going, which I love about her. She precisely executed my vision, and we were incredibly happy with how everything turned out!! She also has great recommendations for vendors and venues. She made sure we were staying on top of everything in the final months leading up to our big day. Highly recommend her! Even if your venue doesn't require a 'day-of coordinator' it's a MUST! Trust me there's so much to think about and you really want to soak it up with your Honey and not sweat the small stuff- enjoy every minute! Thanks Claudia! Xo read more

Claudia was outstanding overall. She was helped us complete our vision and helped execute it on our wedding day. She has a wide range of abilities and can help you with full-on wedding planning to 'day of' coordination. Claudia was responsive and flexible. She made us feel like we were her only wedding, even though we knew we weren't. She also has a lot of good vendor contacts (she helped us find our amazing florist). I would strongly recommend her services if you want to make sure your wedding is in good hands. Claudia is also a very sweet and cool person, very thoughtful. read more

This is way overdue but our appreciation for Claudia will always be there! My sister had booked her for her own wedding and I knew I wanted her for ours too once my husband and I got engaged. I wasn't the bride-iest bride and she made all my specific details and vision come together beautifully. We are still so thankful for her and how smooth the day went, along with everything else she helped with, the incredible vendors she recommended, for answering the questions I had at midnight, for just being the best ever. read more

Claudia was a great wedding planner and helped our wedding day run smoothly. She took all the stress away the day of the wedding and made sure we stayed on top of our timeline. She created our timeline and helped me work to what was the best fit for my husband and I. She communicated with the vendors last minute requirements from the venue due to covid.

I stumbled across Claudia's instagram page about 2 years ago and instantly fell in love with her style. From the first meeting I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was so easy to talk to and answered any questions I had. She made the whole process so easy and made me feel so stress free every time we met up. On the day of the wedding Claudia made sure everything was perfect. We had so much FUN and I can't thank Claudia enough. Our guest are still talking about the craziest dance party ever! We are so glad Claudia was our coordinator and so happy to have gained a new friend! read more

I love Claudia!! My wedding would NOT have been as fantastic as it was without her expertise. She helped me come up with so many fun ideas to make my wedding uniquely mine. More importantly, she is very organized (I am not), and created a timeline for the whole day. She was also very thorough in making sure that my vendors were all on the same page. I didn't have to think about anything on my wedding day other than the fact that I was getting married to my love. read more

I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to events - especially since I've done my fair share of event planning in previous jobs. I personally did all the decor/diy projects for my wedding and I needed someone to see to it that everything would be displayed and arranged according to my vision. Claudia was fantastic! She was very down-to-earth, practical, and communicative. She made herself available for meetings, emails and phone calls and really made me feel that she was more than just a day-of coordinator. She not only executed the event flawlessly, but she was able to make last-minute judgement calls that I totally agreed with. My fiance and I had a very limited budget to work with, but Claudia was not only affordable, but went above and beyond. She connected me to my florist and hair/makeup person - who were both AMAZING. And I felt like I had a true team working with me since she and the florist knew each other well. Thank you, Claudia, for helping to make our wedding day run so beautiful. It allowed us to just enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything! read more

When my fiance and I were told we were required to get a day-of coordinator for our 02/28/2014 wedding at Castle Green, I'll be honest - we were a little stressed out about it. With a budget for everything and family members who have all gotten married and were willing to help out (plus, I'm a bit Type A), we didn't see why it was necessary. BOY, were we wrong. I searched dozens of wedding coordinator/planner services and they were all terribly overpriced or they only offered month-of services. We needed a coordinator that was detail oriented, down to earth and could take everything I planned and run with it. It was not easy searching for the right person. That's when I found One Darling Day. Claudia's reviews online are GLEAMING and WONDERFULLY POSITIVE and trust me - I read every one! From the initial meeting, Claudia listened to what my fiance and I had to say about how we envisioned our wedding day. She took notes, made suggestions and was super relaxed. We met with Claudia 4 times over 4 months and exchanged countless emails and texts. Claudia is also pretty networked in Pasadena/LA and was able to suggest potential vendors for us to contact (she suggested the awesome DJ we hired, DJ Swon from RedshoeLA). It rained so hard on our wedding day that certain items on our timeline flew out the window. People arrived late because of traffic, photographers couldn't get certain shots, etc. who knows how many other hiccups happened? As a bride, I can't tell you how comforting it was to know that Claudia handled everything with grace and poise. If there were problems, no one knew. She kept us on track as much as possible and was this ninja behind the scenes. It was a beautiful...DARLING day. To place the entire day of one of the most important moments of your life into the hands of someone else is not easy. But working with Claudia was so amazing...she gave my now-husband and I the greatest wedding gift: a smooth running, fun filled, worry free day. In addition, none of our family members missed anything because they weren't responsible for details. Even if your venue doesn't require a day-of coordinator, hire this woman! She is a Godsend and her services are worth every penny of investment! read more

I debated quite awhile on if I wanted to have a day-of coordinator for my wedding. I have to say how relieved I was that my husband and I decided to have Claudia guide us on our special day. Her attention to detail as well as listening to our wants made both of us at ease after our meetings with her. Not only did she show how professional she was, but was easy going about the whole wedding. I can tell she loves what she does by the way she responded (positively) to my concerns I had without making me feel like an annoying bride to be. With nerves about my wedding rising the day of, Claudia was calm and collective. She handled everything we wanted, which made me more relaxed about my "Darling Day". And what could I say, our wedding was flawless!! With every detail prepared and guided by Claudia, we were able to enjoy every minute of our special day. If you are looking for a day-of coordinator all I have to say is Claudia is the best! Thank you Claudia! read more

It's been almost a month since our wedding and I feel I can finally write a review that doesn't make me upset. I wish I could write a glowing review like the rest, but unfortunately my experience was underwhelming and it felt like I was working for her instead of the other way around. 1.Communication was not great as she would take almost two weeks to respond to emails and I would have to follow up with her to get a response. 2. We met as stated in her contract but she was late for 3 meetings. She was 20 mins late to our rehearsal and she did not call to let us know. I had to call her. She later stated she had car problems. A professional would call their client and let them know they were running late. 3.Claudia was rude, unprofessional, and ignored my family when they were trying to figure out how to help setup. She stated "she was under the impression people would know the decor setup which is why I was overwhelmed in the beginning". I gave Claudia a detailed setup of how I wanted things. At the last minute I had family members who could help. I let them know to ask her for instructions as I was super busy the day of. All she had to do was delegate since she had detailed instructions. 4.She forgot to give my dad his boutonniere. Claudia stated in a later email "I put on all the boutonnieres and corsages that were in the brown grocery bags not one was left behind. I recall pinning everyone, hope you can tell by the photos that everyone had one. I should have paid more attention to your dad and noticed that his must have fallen off at some point. But I did pin all the gentleman". There is no way my dad's boutonniere could have fallen off because my dad never got pinned. He was with me at the hotel when the men got their boutonnieres. Furthermore my family stated there was 1 boutonniere left over and I spoke to my dad and he stated no one came to him to pin a boutonniere on him. In all our pictures my dad will not have a boutonniere. 5.My dad was not in the processional line when we were lining up. My dad stated no one told him where to go which was clearly Claudia's job. 6. Our toasts were all messed up. I sent Claudia a timeline stating the order of toasts. There were people who were left off the list. My husband had to go tell the DJ we had additional toasts. Claudia did state in a later email "Yes it was my fault I should have doubled checked the order & that he had everyone noted down correctly but it was an oversight and by the time he called Jason's father it was too late". 7. Claudia failed to inform me I was doing the father/daughter dance. Claudia stated in a later email " I cued the father/daughter dance to DJ. I do remember you went to the dance floor and I was behind your dad at his table to let him know to join you. It was at the same time as you saw him". I heard the DJ announce our song, I panicked because I had no idea we were doing this yet or where my dad was. I scanned the room for my dad and yelled for him across the dance floor. I have this all on video. How embarrassing to have to yell for my dad; all of this could have been prevented had Claudia informed me what was going to happen next which is why we hired her. 8.Claudia disappeared for the last portion of the night. I understand she left to go buy a cake earlier on in the night but she left again. In a follow up email Claudia stated she had not eaten and went to grab a bite to eat. She let a family member know "she had to go take care of something" Had she been specific with us or the caterer that she hadn't eaten they would have fixed her a plate as food is not thrown away until the party ends. The caterer stated he has never had a vendor leave to eat because vendors always ask if there is a plate for them. By the time she got back we had cleaned up and were gone. I feel my dad got the short end of the stick and this is why I'm writing this. This wedding was as much mine as it was my dad's. My dad had no boutonniere, was not told to line up for processional, his table was toward the back because guests decided to move seats, our dance was messed up, and the groom's dad gave a toast before my own dad. All of which shouldn't have happen because her contract specifically stated all these things would be taken care of. She was gracious enough to refund us half of our money and for that I am giving her a star. In the end my wedding was beautiful because my sister and her best friend pretty much did Claudia's job. Not really sure why she didn't produce since there were excellent reviews but the sentiments from majority of my guests were that she seemed overwhelmed and was rude. She was not detailed oriented and a huge portion of what was stated in her contract was not delivered. I could write a bunch of other things that happened but I'm only allowed to write so much on yelp. Please spend the extra money for a professional who doesn't have an additional full time job to help coordinate your wedding. read more

Claudia is the best. We used her month-of services, and it made the day so stress-free for the bride and everyone else involved. She coordinates last minute details, confirms with vendors, creates a schedule and timeline and makes sure everything is in order for the big day. We were able to relax and enjoy the day and the weeks before. She helped execute our vision beautifully and made it all run smoothly! 10/10 would recommend to any couple! read more

Claudia is awesome! This review is long overdue. We were married, July 2nd! I kept telling myself that I didn't need a wedding planner, we were trying to keep the cost down for our wedding. But, I met Claudia at just the right time. I was introduced to her through one of my friends when we were about 4-5 months out till our wedding. We had our venue booked by that point, I had my dress and our wedding rings...you know the most important stuff! But we still had lots of vendors to book! We had the overall idea of what we wanted as far as the look and feel goes, but Claudia really helped put all those visions and thoughts together. There are so many things to think about when planning a wedding, even if you go small. We had less than 100 people and it all turned out just perfect thanks to Claudia. She recommended some great vendors that she trusted and even got some quotes for me. Every time we met she would answer all of our questions and go through a checklist of what we got done and what we needed to still do. Very efficient. She really took the reigns and just made both of us feel comfortable about everything. My husband had so many questions and she had no issue answering all of them and making suggestions. She gave us many options and ideas for different ways to do things which was extremely helpful....especially for my other half. He is very picky but in a good way, he has very particular style. She was always accommodating to our busy schedules for our meetings, my husband always wanted to be sure to make our meetings. And I think it's because we would go over so many things that were helpful. She is friendly, outgoing and everyone enjoyed having her around. I loved working with her. On such a special day having someone there that you trust to just handle things was just wonderful. She provided great communication with all my vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. She has a great vibe and I would highly recommend One Darling Day for all your wedding planning/event planning needs! Just wonderful! read more

One Darling Day - Wedding Planning Near Me

My husband and I planned a somewhat last minute micro-wedding. Like most couples, we felt like we didn't really know what we were doing. With a guest count under 30, it was hard for us to find anyone willing to help us plan and coordinate our wedding. We discovered Claudia on Instagram and I'm so happy we did! Claudia truly went above and beyond to help us piece everything together to make our day operate smoothly. She helped us make sure we had a solid timeline and that all the other vendors were operating according to plan so that we didn't have to stress before getting married. She didn't hesitate to respond to calls or texts and was very responsive during the whole process. I would 100% recommend Claudia and her services to anyone looking to get married! read more

Claudia did a splendid job at our wedding on Valentine's Day. I initially met with her after phone calls to several other wedding coordinators in town who lagged in responding back and some didn't even get back to me at all. It was the most important sign for me as a bride to pick someone who makes themselves available like Claudia did. She met with me on a Sunday! The following meetings happened on weekday nights which worked with my schedule. In the planning process, Claudia collected all the details for the wedding day -- colors, vendors, recommended quantities on decor, timeline, bridal party duties, songs, everything! My husband and I couldn't have executed our wedding plans if not for Claudia. On the day-of, she made everything flow smoothly and did so seamlessly. Her best quality I think is her ability to stay calm when she senses the stress coming down onto her clients. I panicked and nearly cried when I had some vendor trouble but she was there to give her professional advice/s and everything fell into place. read more
