At Your Side Planning

We had to plan our wedding long distance; we don’t live in San Diego. Diana helped us find great vendors and dealt with any custom request. She worked closely with the vendors to get the best prices and to keep us on track. She was a great help planning the wedding; for parts we didn’t really want to participate too much she handled it and others we coordinated with her, and there were no issues at all! Her staff is also great, especially Shauna. They were on track the whole time and totally helped us out.
On the day of, everything went perfectly and on schedule. Her and her staff were very helpful and always present, but never in the way. I’m not sure how else to describe it. If anything ever needed to be adjusted, they were always there, and the clean up and everything went great. In addition, pricing and everything were quite fair.

Diana is a Miracle Worker! She has the most amazing team and shes the BEST WEDDING COORDINATOR! Not only does she tend to go the extra mile to make sure all of my projects have come out a success, but shes also helpful and patient when your brain is scattered and your event is a couple days away.
She has done several events for us– some I do have to admit have been last minute for day of coordination & to my surprise she pulls it off every time! Her team is well trained and ready to execute any task I throw at them. Whenever I need help I call Diana! Shes got the best hook ups on vendors and I never have to worry about a thing. I appreciate the hard work & the dedication your team puts forth. You guys rock and keep up the good work! See you soon at the silent auction banquet which I know will also be a success! ;)

I had the pleasure of working with Diana for the first time last Saturday and I can honestly say she is worth her weight in gold! My bride is a very busy professional so I wasn’t always able to communicate with her in the days leading up to the wedding. This could have been the source of much stress but thankfully Diana was able to function as liaison and provide me with all the information I needed. Diana is a consummate professional in the industry and I highly recommend her. Thank you, Diana!

Diana from At Your Side Planning was very professional, responsive and helpful. All the recommendations from she turned out to be very good and professional too.
Our parents weren’t in town to help us with the wedding. I was very happy to have Diana at our side to give us guidance and advice. Her coordination with all the vendors also took quite a lot burden away from us.
We couldn’t have such a nice wedding without Diana and her team.

We hired Yvonne and Shauna to provide Day Of Coordination for our August 2015 wedding, and we COULD NOT be happier with their services.
Hiring a day of coordinator was kind of an after-​thought for us. *read, we did not include it in the budget* Diana worked with us for MONTHS before we even hired them to come up with a package that would work for our budget and give us exactly what we needed. A lot of people with say, oh, I can do your Day of Coordination for $ 600. But what do you get for $ 600? You don’t get what you need. Something will be left undone. You probably need a lot more in terms of hours or warm bodies than what that $ 600 package can provide.
There are so many little details that need to be handled a month before a wedding. Not including the fact that I got sick right before the wedding. It was so nice to just hand over those last minute tasks to people who are as meticulous as I am.
Yvonne confirmed with ALL of my vendors, multiple times because things always change at the last minute. When I couldn’t take another moment looking at the beauty schedule for the day of the wedding, Yvonne handled it. She reviewed our inventory list from our caterer to make sure we had absolutely everything we purchased, and confirmed all timelines for all of our vendors. She even had a few extra hands to help with the ceremony and the reception.
On the day of, she was a complete life saver. She coordinated with all of the vendors, kept our parents happy, and made sure that EVERY SINGLE ITEM that I sent to the reception was returned back to me! I was so surprised!
Shauna was in charge of setting up the reception area. Shauna and Victoria attended my walk-​though and they were extremely attentive. Without even having a ‘mock-​up’ appointment of what I wanted everything to look like, she executed the items I gave her perfectly. I gave her 18 Moroccan lanterns and said, «Use them all, or use none of them. Just use your discretion.» lol. That was terrible instruction on my part, but Shauna knew exactly what to do and made everything look perfect.
The first best thing you can do for your wedding is hire a wedding coordinator. The second best thing you can do for your wedding is hire At Your Side Planning.

At your side planning helped my husband and I tie any loose ends and last minute details together for our wedding in June of this year. I was hesitant at first to have someone new step in at the end of my wedding planning. However, Yvonne was so easy to work with. She made sure all my vendors came through and kept the flow of the evening seamless. When I lost my hairpiece at the end of the night she spent a good amount of time looking for it outside the venue. At Your Side Planning did a great job of helping me feel stress free. I did not have to worry about minor details. I would use their services again without hesitation. Thank you again for all your help Yvonne and the rest of the team.

Diana was an absolute pleasure to work with at a recent wedding I was hired to photograph. As a photographer in the business for 10 years, I’ve never had a wedding run so seamless. She was present through the entire wedding, yet «behind the scenes» and never in the way. I hope I have the pleasure of working with her again in the future.

At Your Side Planning is the best wedding planning /​wedding coordinating /​wedding consulting team out there! I interviewed a few day of coordinators and these ladies stood out. They are attentive, professional and so sweet! I highly recommend them. Nothing is overlooked and everything will be flawless. If you are looking for your wedding coordinator, stop your search — At Your Side Planning is the best wedding coordination company!

Diana and Yvonne were complete professional rockstars. My wedding reception was seamless and stress free because of At Your Side Planning. I have heard good things about this company before and am glad I hired them. Completely impressed by Yvonne, especially for the way she handled the Day Of Coordinating. My family had nothing to worry about because Yvonne was on top of everything. From setting every detail to packing all items up. It was a relief to find all items neatly and organized in a box the next day at my parents’ house. The entire night, my husband and I always had our drinks filled which was nice they remebered to think about us and that detail.
Diana and her team are all skilled and experienced in planning, detailing and coordinating. THANK YOU At Your Side Planning for helping make my wedding reception beautiful, organized and stress free.

As the Maid-​of-​Honor in a wedding, Diana did such a fantastic job as a wedding coordinator! The wedding planning process went so smoothly (I attended some sessions with the bride) and not once was there a question of quality. She made sure we were always in tune with what was happening and not once was the bride ever upset or stressed out about the day of her wedding. Everything happened as it should have and the wedding was above and beyond! The day of the wedding flowed so smoothly and everyone who attended had an amazing time! Not only was the wedding amazing, but Diana was such a pleasure to be around. She’s super friendly, outgoing, and responsible! Her team was also a pleasure to be around. They were very attentive and I would go back to her for my own wedding as well!

I interviewed Diana Romero, owner of At Your Side Planning for my Leadership & Development class at San Diego State University. I contacted several wedding planners /​wedding planning companies in San Diego and Diana was the quickest to respond and set up a time to meet. Diana was very flexible and accommodating considering she had just had a baby! Diana gave me valuable information on the wedding planning industry. She explained the day of wedding planner /​coordinator role to the full service wedding planning with design. At Your Side Planning is one of the top wedding planners /​wedding coordinators in San Diego and now I see why! She is dedicated and passionate about what she does. She understand the wants and needs of her customers and works hard to provide you the best event possible!

Diana and her staff ensured that every detail of our wedding day was covered. Diana patiently held my hand through the planning process and was always accessible when I needed her help. At Your Side Planning is like planning your special day with a caring friend and their prices are very reasonable! I will definitely refer all my friends to them for any future event planning needs!

At Your Side Planning are the best planners around! They planned my company party at the end of the year and everything was perfect. The food, entertainment, décor and music were all on point. I highly recommend this company for any event planning, wedding planning or corporate event planning needs! Thank you At Your Side Planning

I thought the day of my wedding was going to be stressful, with all the last minute details and running around. Since I wasn’t from San Diego and marrying in a city I wasn’t familiar with. Was stress in itself. With Diana’s help and her crew, our wedding day was so awesome and stress free. Since the moment I meet her til the last hour of hour wedding, we got exceptional care and attention. I would definitely recommend Diana for that perfect day.

Diana and her team were amazing and very professional!
I contacted several (over 10) wedding planners to help me with the day of wedding coordination. My fiancée and I were planning our entire wedding across the country, from NY to SD and decided at the last minute to hire a day of wedding coordinator. Despite us reaching out to Diana only a month away from our wedding, she was on top of everything and really helped tie in all of the things we didn’t realize we were even missing. On top of all of this, our venue didn’t come with any catering or linens, etc., and so everyone we worked with was independent. Somehow, Diana managed to stay on top of all of their schedules & staff and even noticed some major discrepancies in our catering costs that saved us a few $ 100 dollars!
Even the guests at our wedding commented on how organized and nice Diana and her team were :)
We would recommend At Your Side Planning to all of our friends and family!

At Your Side Planning planned my wedding a little over a year ago. They really kept me on track and created a beautiful day. I secured a venue in which we had to bring in EVERYTHING! Diana and the team didn’t miss a thing. I didn’t realize how much would go into the wedding but with the team’s calm demeanor and detailed timeline for me, I did not get overwhelmed. I was excited about everything. On the day of, everything was perfect. My family and bridal party knew exactly what was going on without having to come to me or my husband. The vision I had for my day became a reality. I would highly recommend At Your Side Planning. They are truly the best wedding planners around!!! Thank you again for everything.

I just recently worked with Diana at a wedding reception at El Cortez as the DJ/​MC. Diana and her staff were a real joy to work with at the wedding, and very pleasant towards all the vendors and guests throughout the day and night of the event from set-​up to breakdown… She was also very responsive with communication during the planning process, and even came to the planning meeting I had with the bride and groom… There were a lot of details to keep track of during this wedding, including mariachis for the patio ceremony, and then we had suddenly very cold January weather … And everything went smoothly and with a lot of cheer. And all the guests and the newlyweds were very happy… I highly recommend At Your Side Planning!

If you reading this, then you are searching for a planner. Your search has ended here. My then fiancée and I were on a time crunch to get married before her deployment. Diana sat us down and put together a plan of attack to match our 3 month timetable. Honestly, I thought it would be doable, but I also thought we might have to sacrifice some things we wanted to do because of your short time frame. BUT — come the day of, it was fantastic. Diana & crew came through like champs and kept things running smooth as eggs. It was stress free and they handled everything without a hitch. I could not have imagined having a more talented and professional team like Diana and At Your Side Planning. THANK YOU, Diana! — for making a quick wedding look like it took months and months to plan — and for making it beautiful & unforgettable.

Let me start my review by saying WOW!
Diana and her team coordinated, designed and executed my wedding with perfection. I came to her 7 months before my event and she worked with me and my husband to find the perfect venue, create the design and find the vendors for food, music, photo, ect.
She and her team of coordinators were nothing but professional and always on time. I felt very included in the planning of my wedding while at the same time not in charge of the little details and extras.
THANK YOU DIANA! I will be coming to you for our next event!

Diana and staff are pros. The perfect combo of getting the job done well while still being flexible and easy to work with. I have worked several weddings where Diana and her staff were in charge and she is spot on, every single time. She is worth her weight in gold and highly recommended. She will not disappoint and you will be glad you hired her.
