  They were Amazing!

  Tina was absolutely amazing! She made my wedding day so smooth and stress free... I loved working with her on everything and was so thankful for all her hard work!

  Tina and her staff were wonderful to work with during this whole planning process! They were attentive, professional and never hesitated to help a bride in need. :) This was by far the best wedding "gift" I received from my mom! Even my super-hard-to-impress husband gave them props at the end of the night and said it was a great decision to hire them. My guests told me I never looked stressed or flustered all night - and I credit that to Tina and her staff! Many thanks to them for helping me have the least stressful wedding possible!! :)

  My advise to the couple getting married is that our money was worth every minute. Tina and her team did an amazing job helping my daughter and son in law have a smooth and beautiful wedding. I highly recommend Tina.

  HIRE THIS WOMAN! You would be crazy not to. In the beginning of the wedding planning process I didn't think I deserved or could afford a wedding planner but let me tell you....Worth. Every. Penny. Tina not only knows the ins and outs of the entire wedding world (which can be full of drama and mayhem) but she should go on tour as a stand up comedian as well. Her hilarious personality and witty sense of humor was the key to this crazy girl's heart. I loved working with her, and I knew that I wouldn't have to worry about a darn thing with her by my side. Because of her, my wedding went off without a hitch and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. My only regret is that now that the wedding is over I don't get to call her with "stupid" questions and hear her witty responses! I love you Tina & Co!

  If only I could give Tina and her team 100 stars, I would.
  When we picked our planner, my husband and I solely went with online reviews in the selection process, and then did phone interviews with them. We were shocked by some prices and on one hand, and annoyed by some planners egocentric attitudes,...but fell in love with Tina (and her humor) from the start.
  
  And boy did we get lucky!!!! Hiring her and her team was the best decision we could have ever made! Through all the turmoil of planning the wedding, and setbacks and negotiations, we constantly kept saying how lost we would be without having her guiding hand. She would respond to emails IMMEDIATELY at any time of the day and night (I swear she doesn’t sleep!). Although we had only booked her 'month of' package, Tina helped us from the moment we confirmed with her...way way way beyond what she should have been involved in! When it came down to the last months before the wedding, Tina was calmness in person, incredibly organized, insightful, and creative when it came to conceptualizing the actual event. Each time we would meet her or talk to her we would think to ourselves how above and beyond she had just gone – and then she would trump it even the next time around! We would have never found the vendors we ended up with without her recommendations, and negotiating. Neither my husband nor I could thank her enough in words for how her and her team entirely made our wedding the success it ended up being. They were THE sweetest planners to have by our side – and what a small price to pay, to have the day of your dreams without having to worry about a single thing.
  
  So not only did we find Tina to be the most capable, engaging, resourceful, responsive, creative, budget conscious, loving, and involved wedding planner we could have never imagined having… we also found a great friend in Tina. We love her!! Other than saying yes – best wedding decision we both made.

  Tina and her team made our daughter's wedding so seamless and perfect. She made everything go like clockwork and allowed me (mother of the bride) to enjoy the moment. i had asked Tina what I was going to have to be doing the day of the wedding and she said nothing and she was right. Music to my ears! Being from Houston, she was so helpful with vendors in the area (Marquardt Ranch in Boerne). She had worked with most of them and they had a great rapport. Cannot recommend Diamonds and Dreams highly enough!

  Tina is amazing, I had no idea all the goes into a wedding. I have no focus and want everything, Tina made sure we got it all.
  
  I would recommend for everyone no matter how big or small the event she is an angel.

  Tina and her staff are amazing!! The moment I needed something they were there to help. From bringing pitchers of water to tying all of the girls bows. The moment I met Tina I knew she would be perfect for the job she is a sweet and loving lady who happenes to be very stern all at once. I'm a control freak and need to know everything that is going on all at once, but Tina made me feel safe and I was able to let go.

  I used Tina and her team for their day of coordination and they went above and beyond my expectations! My mother and I attribute the wedding going so well because of Tina and her team. They coordinated with all of my vendors and on the day of, made all my guests feel so welcome as well as keep me on a schedule. I would absolutely recommend this company to any bride. Every bride deserves a coordinator like Tina - somebody to help alleviate the stress! I could not thank them enough for all the amazing work they did!

  Tina did a fabulous job on our wedding! I contacted her about three months before my wedding because I was starting to realize I needed help making everything come together. She was a godsend in the weeks leading up to our wedding. We had a lot of last minute rsvps which was stressful but somehow Tina and her team managed to make it all happen. I'm not going to tell you that a wedding coordinator is a requirement, but it sure made our lives a whole lot easier!! She helped us out with decor and ways to save money. Several things about our wedding were not completely standard but nothing phased Tina. While my mother lost sleep over my uneven bridal party, Tina didn't even blink which I appreciated. Our venue looked beautiful thanks to her team and we were a happy married couple after it was all over.

  Without Tina and the girls from Diamonds and Dreams I would have been so stressed on my wedding day. They helped make sure everything was on track and fielded all the small problems that always pop up at a wedding. We just had them for the day but Tina still helped deal with all the venders the week before and was willing to answer any questions I had during the whole process. Seriously, totally worth the slot in the budget.

  When my daughter said she was hiring a wedding consultant, I was skeptical. Tina turned out to be awesome! She was very organized and went way beyond the call of duty. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with her!

  Tina and her team do an amazing job. My daughter's wedding was outdoors at our home but we had, happily, a large crowd and lots of challenges, not the least being my daughter and I are pretty picky and have control issues at times (haha). Tina and her team clearly went way beyond what should have been their "job" and I could not be happier. Planning a wedding in the country or in a different location -- Tina is the one to call! What's more, she is fun!!

  Oh my. Tina and her team are capable of creating a stress-free engagement period and wedding day for any bride. I am BLESSED to be able to say that I got to soak in my wedding day and have only perfect memories because of this team. When you're engaged you have no idea what is ahead and how much goes into every little decision. Having someone that knows vendors, can help you be decisive with things AND has a joyful attitude, enables the whole process to be memorable & exciting instead of stressful & rushed. My family and I were indecisive and slightly difficult at times, but Tina was always professional and sweet. That was huge for me & why I more than highly recommend these ladies! : )

  Tina was heaven sent! She bent over backwards for me. The moment I met her I knew that my wedding day was in "good hands." Anything and everything I needed was provided by her. The wedding day was a breeze, I DID NOT STRESS at all. Working with Tina and her staff was a blessing.

  I couldn't have been happier with the service I received from Diamonds & Dreams. Tina was so hands-on and always on top of everything I needed done. Trust me, I was not an easy bride to deal with as I was constantly asking questions and changing my mind but she never got flustered, just smiled and said I'll take care of it. Everyone was great and made my special day perfect!
  
  Luv ya Tina!

  Tina and her staff were WONDERFUL!!! We engaged her for day-of services, but she went above & beyond to help with things/services I still had not coordinated. On my wedding day, she and her staff coordinated with my vendors and handled the day so that the day went flawlessly! However, the best thing about Tina is her personality. She has a wonderful heart, a fabulous sense of humor, and a beautiful smile! She listens to you and makes you feel important. She definitely has a gift and has the ability to give life to your vision of your dream day. Thank you so much, Tina - you are forever in my heart!!!

  D&D made my wedding day very beautiful and STRESS FREE. Tina really absorbed all the ideas and 'must-haves' given to her and made my day, MY DAY! Aside from that, Tina and her staff were really on top of things. My family sat back and enjoyed the day instead of having a million chores to do. That in itself speaks volumes. Her staff really took care of us from day 1 all the way to the absolute end. On numerous levels, D&D is definetly best in the buisness!!!

  Thank you for you kind words Amy, but I wonder if you could elaborate on the not perfect scores for professionalism and responsiveness? I always try to be available around the clock and usually respond with an hour of messages or emails if at all possible. It will help me in dealing with future clients to know and repair any shortcomings. I felt the team did a superior job and specifically that we had gone above and beyond with "extras" before and on your day.
  
  Thanks again! Wishing you and Chris a blessed and long marriage!

  Going into the wedding planning process my fiancé (now husband) and I couldn't decide if we wanted a wedding planner or not. When we went to tour our venue the owner was not available so Tina gave us a tour because she was on site that day. She was very nice and knew a lot about the venue because she had worked there before. After our tour before we booked her she made a budget spreadsheet for us which was helpful. She also told us that she would get us a discount with the people on her referral list because she has worked with them many times in the past. These discounts, Tina told us, would amount to at minimum the sum of what we would pay her for her coordination services. So we decided we should book her. After we booked her it was disappointing to realize that I did most of the work. When we received her referral list there were a few areas where I wanted to go in a different direction but it seemed that the people she had on her list were her friends and she didn't have many other suggestions. I ended up finding my own photographer (I do have very specific taste and high standards when it comes to photography), videographer, and florist. After I booked these people that weren't on Tina's referral list I did all of the communication. It was almost like she didn't want to work with someone she didn't know. I am sure Tina did some of the communication with her preferred vendors which took a little bit off my plate but it would have been quicker and easier for me to do it myself instead of going through another person. On the night of the rehearsal it seemed like she was being very pushy. We wanted our nephews to carry the rings down the isle in little boxes because they are smart boys and very capable of doing this but she kept insisting we shouldn't let them actually have the rings. I understand all that but she started offending the boy's father with how she was saying it and making me feel like I needed to not trust the boys with the rings. In the end I decide

  I wish you had come to me during the process to clarify/work through your issues. The budget was reviewed prior to our booking. The goal is always to have my fee justified by the value of the vendors I bring to you. My database is extensive, with all tiers of pricing. I gave you referrals based on your specific criteria. And when that criteria changed, I changed the referrals. Photography, as you stated, was something you wanted to tackle on your own. We reviewed your photographer’s packages and your needs. You chose to have all communication with her to ensure she could meet your work scheduling needs. She was more than budgeted for and added fees for travel, etc. Catering, linens, my services and DJ were all discounted. I am lost at your statement that I didn't communicate with your chosen vendors :(. All had input into the timeline and wedding day flow. Regarding workload, I will simply say this, the client will always have choices/decisions to make. I guide you through the process and I still managed layouts, timelines, agendas, appointment scheduling, design research, staffing, room blocks, etc. I’m sorry if there was miscomm here somehow.  Regarding your nephews on rehearsal night. I simply wanted to ensure you all understood the pitfalls of children carrying gold. It’s my job. I never intended to offend! The boys were very well behaved and did great with the boxes. We made changes at rehearsal as situations came up; just as planned. I am sincerely sorry your experience was not as you anticipated. My business thrives or dies on the reviews and referrals I receive from clients, but more importantly, it impacts me PERSONALLY. My clients are just as important to me as my blood relatives. I told you the week before your wedding that I wished all my brides were like you, that I loved you for your organization but more importantly because you are kind and gracious. I stand by that.
