A bright and collaborative experience with Dina

We worked with Dina over the course of 8 months leading up to our August wedding in Santa Barbara. She displayed a consistently high level of professionalism, skill, organization, and communication over that time. We found her to be particularly responsive and thoughtful when questions--big and small--arose over the planning process, and our work with her left us feeling confident about the coordination and facilitation of events on our big day.

On the day of our wedding, Dina worked hard to make sure everything went according to plan. She ensured that vendors were appropriately prepared, she problem-solved, and she checked in with us to see if we had everything we needed. We had an absolutely amazing wedding, which was due in no small part to Dina's efforts.

I also want to mention that Dina has a warm demeanor, and is generally a pleasure to work with. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Creative with my tight budget!

Dina was warm, professional, and responsive to texts and calls! She worked with my tight budget and offered detailed ideas for every inquiry I had! I would recommend her without a hesitation to plan your wedding in Santa Barbara!

Wonderful wedding planner!

I contacted Dina about two weeks before my wedding (we decided to get married at the last minute) and she was amazing with helping finalize details and recommending/contacting vendors we had not yet secured. The day of, she was incredibly calm, collected and did a fantastic job of guiding us and our guests. She even showed up to our reception dinner (she planned to finish up at the ceremony since our wedding was quite small) and helped out there too! She truly made my wedding day a smooth and painless process. I'm so grateful I had the chance to work with her and would HIGHLY recommend her!
