History

Diane has always worked in the service industry which gave her a great prospective on dealing with the general public. She started wedding planning in 1998 with a large resort but quickly became dissatisfied with the lack of time to really assist each couple as much as they needed and wanted. She knew she wanted to make each event about each individual couple, in their tastes and desires so she struck out on her own in 2000. Since then she has coordinated hundreds of weddings, business retreats, and anniversary and holiday parties. From elopements to groups of 400 we treat each event with much care and concern. We have been published in many magazines and blogs over the years and have worked with clients from all over the world. We have exclusive access to ocean front sites and properties.

Specialties

Full-service wedding and event coordinator Diane Allen and her team of assistants have beautiful indoor and outdoor locations available for your wedding or celebration--exclusive private homes and coastal properties, world-famous restaurants and magnificent resorts, scenic beaches and secluded natural preserves--the best Big Sur, Carmel, Carmel Valley and Monterey County have to offer!

It has taken me a while to write this review, only because I want to make sure that it is special and perfect, just like Diane. On our wedding day, just before I was to walk down the aisle, Diane...
