If you are looking for a wedding planner who is always go beyond your expectation and provide 5 start customer experience, Diana is your best choice! I had the pleasure of working with her through a wedding at Patterson Mention. She organized the meet-up with the couple in advance. We had a wonderful time through lunch and discuss many wedding details to make sure the event goes as seamless as possible.

I worked with Diana from Passionate Weddings on a styled wedding shoot in Seattle. We had a little over a month to plan everything and she wrangled together a full set of vendors, kept everything extremely organized, was always quick to respond to emails, and helped the shoot flow well. She eliminated all the stress I normally feel going into a styled shoot!

Although Passionate Weddings is new to the Seattle area, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Diana. She is a powerhouse at planning and organizing! I love that she is bilingual and full of knowledge about cultural traditions. I’m looking forward to working with her again!

Diana is absolutely the best! Extremely organized and calm. She was wonderful to work with and really ensured we had a smooth wedding day that was everything we hoped it would be.

As the MOG I highly recommend Passionate Weddings as a wedding coordinator. Diana has an incredible personality, she’s authentic and fun to work with. We interviewed other coordinators, but Diana easily demonstrated her value and made a connection quickly. She led us through all the many details necessary prior to the wedding and we all knew the day of Diana had everything under control. Diana Santiago and her co-coordinator Christin are the Best of the Best!!

Passionate Weddings with Diana Santiago guided us every step of the journey to help create an amazing wedding. The scope of work for our wedding included onsite meetings, vendor recommendations,coordinating vendor contracts, payments and all vendor follow ups, interfacing with the local accommodations, invitations and communication with our guests throughout the wedding process. When we couldn’t make the floral on-site meeting, Diana attended and FaceTime us to helped to tweak the floral design. Throughout the process a Google document is shared and helps to keep every detail organized. The timeline Diana created of the
rehearsal and wedding day coordination and guidance was indispensable. We didn’t have to worry about anything, Diana and her team took care of all the wedding day details. Additionally, Diana is able to be both a good listener for the bride and grooms vision of their wedding and help elevate the event with additional wedding ideas and suggestions. We had a fantastic experience with Passionate Weddings and highly recommend their services. The combination of keen attention to details, consistent communication and a positive attitude really made the wedding a magical experience.

My wife and I hired Diana and her team at Passionate Weddings for their month-of coordinating services for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was important for us to have a bilingual coordinator, as my wife's family is Spanish-speaking, and Diana is fluent in three languages. Second, when we spoke with Diana on the phone, her extreme attention to detail stood out among the other coordinators we interviewed. From the moment we started working with her, we were so relieved to have made this choice! Diana was exceptionally responsive to all of our questions; she also provided us with recommendations that ended up panning out very well. She was organized and proactive, immediately getting in touch with all of our vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. She sent out helpful reminders to us to make sure we were on track with everything we needed to be doing. On our wedding day, her and her team were truly MVPs. The whole day went off without a hitch, and any issue that came up (there were very few), Diana handled immediately. We truly felt that hiring her and her team was one of our best choices in the whole wedding process. I HIGHLY recommend Passionate Weddings!

Full disclosure: I initially had my doubts about hiring a day of coordinator. Those doubts were erased when I hopped on the phone with Diana and was given the run down of the services provided. The description of “day of coordinator” does not do Justice to the services provided.

Diana and her team were absolutely professional, well organized, friendly, and provided so much help to us in the lead up to and day of the wedding.

I cannot recommend her and her team enough.
