Introducing Diana from My Oh My...Events

It all started in 2002 when my big brother proposed to my now sister in law, Katy... The minute he got down on one knee at the 94th Aero Squadron (yes I was there) I knew I was going to be a big part of this planning and I sure was, it was like a magic spark! The planner in me awoke! I had never even been to weddings but I LOVED watching weddings on TV and while waiting in the grocery line I would pick up BRIDE magazines and just imagine how MY big day would look like. I enjoyed helping Katy with her wedding, her shower, and of course her bachelorette party! When their big day had finally come, it was pure insanity for me. I was also a bridesmaids so needless to say I too needed some time to get ready, however, I was running around making sure everything was perfect. To make a LONG story short, I told myself after that day: "No bride nor anyone involved in the wedding should have that stress the day of!" There has to be an easier way to get through this without pulling out your hair! After this event I had helped with other events such as babyshowers, birthdays, themed parties and discovered more and more that party planning was definitely my passion!

In 2007 my beau proposed and the planning began! I immediately joined The Knot and became a regular "knottie" on the SFL boards (Fellow knotties know what that means!) It is then when I learned about Wedding Coordinators and Planners. I thought to myself ,"There is no way I am going to spend money on one, I love planning and being in contol of the details" However being on the The Knot boards for a while I noticed this was one vendor that A LOT of brides had. Hmmm they must be on to something! I then remembered the stress and headache I went through trying to coordinate Katy's wedding while also being a bridesmaid. I definitely did not want anyone going through that on my day! So one of the first vendors I booked was my DOC (Day of Coordinator) Justine from Fabulous Fetes & Events and let me tell you, it was then when I knew that having a DOC is probably the most important vendor to have for your wedding day. I cannot thank Justine enough for letting me enjoy my wedding day without a worry because she took over all the details I had gathered. After the planning was over and only pictures were left to reminisce on what I have to say was the best day of my life, I thought to myself, I love planning, I love helping, and I have to admit I have a creative mind ;) . Lets put all that to good use! Thanks to my husband's support "My Oh My...Events" was born.
