Where can I even start? Her last name is Belles... as in wedding BELLES... as in Fairy godmother…read more What other indication do you need that she in fact is THE BEST FREAKING WEDDING PLANNER IN THE WORLD?! From the moment I found her I knewwwwwww she was the right one. Like a typical guy, my husband had decided that we did not need a wedding planner. He was sure we could do it on our own (Umm yeah no). Previous to finding Diana, we had spoken with 5 other planners. 3 Ghosted us, the fourth was planning on doing one other wedding on our day and the 5th was out of our price range. Let me save you all the hassle now and tell you to HIRE DIANA NOW!!!! After our first email exchange we set up a Zoom meeting the next day and we were sold. She understood the vision. We hired her 1 years and 5 months from our wedding. Throughout the whole process she truly was our fairy godmother. She was always a quick text away. It was not at all a client/vendor relationship, she really is a friend and advocates for you. She has so many connections and she does her best to find what's best for you. All of this instilled a confidence in me. She really does have the best ideas. Wedding day came around and I really let go!!! She had a conversation with me the week of the wedding to remind me to really enjoy my day. The day of my wedding something clicked in my head, I was marrying my best friend and a new chapter was starting for me. I'm a total type A person, but for that day I left it all to Diana and it really was the best day of my life. When I say she "got it" I mean she TRULY got it! The ceremony started promptly and may I say we were ahead of schedule the WHOLE day?! When do you hear that about weddings?! I also want to add that her assistant Laura is such a sweetheart. She came to introduce herself to me and gave me a quick rundown to remind me to just enjoy my day. It was during our first dance that I looked past my husband and we both looked into our reception and saw the flickering candles and all of the details Diana and Laura put all over our venue and we just started balling our eyes out. It was such a dream. There was no issue that I had to resolve, they took care of everything. I am so thankful to Diana and Laura. They truly went above and beyond. She is who you NEED during the process and day of, not a vendor but a friend. Thank you Diana, I am literally indebted to you for life.

Although we hired them as a "day of coordinators" Allie began working with us early to be sure all vendors were in place and kept meticulous track of all necessary details. At the rehearsal and on the day of she was literally everywhere! She was organized, and kept everyone else organized but in a kind and friendly way. During the wedding reception she checked in frequently to make sure all was well and at the end of the day made sure all the MANY wedding decorations etc got safely to their destination. I honestly was astounded at how hard she worked, she was invaluable to us! Thank you Sparkling Soirees and Allie for ensuring we had the best day ever!

My husband, family, and I absolutely loved working with Nicolette! She made wedding planning so fun and not stressful, because we always knew that she was on top of it and had our backs. Nicolette is amazing at juggling the ins and outs of wedding planning and while also being sensitive and aware of the stresses and overwhelming feelings that can come up throughout the process. She truly is a wedding planner and a friend. We are genuinely sad that our wedding is over and that we aren't working with Nicolette anymore! She has excellent communication via e-mail, text, and Skype calls and is professional but also fun and positive. We were referred to Nicolette after my brother and sister-in-law worked with her for their wedding last year. We feel like she became a part of our family after getting to know her over the years! We always looked forward to our meetings with her, and would come out feeling like we had accomplished so much and could rest knowing that we were on-track with wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, Nicolette was incredibly prompt+to the schedule+fun when rallying the wedding party. She made sure that my husband and I got to eat all of the food and truly enjoy the party without feeling rushed around, which I so appreciated. She was also so good at helping to calm my worries and plan accordingly for rain that was forecasted for our wedding day. It ended up drizzling during our ceremony and she was able to flip our entire reception from outdoor to indoor. I always felt like Nicolette was on top of it so I never had to worry :) She made our wedding vision dreams become a reality, and it was even better than our dreams! She was also very skilled at sticking to our budget and finding deals along the way. We also worked with Carly during the planning process, who was amazing and so talented as well! We just think the world of Nicolette, and would highly recommend her to any family member, friend, or stranger!!! A huge thank you to Sparkling Soirees for all that you do :)

I will say the wedding was beautiful however there were soo many things that didn't happen. Just to name a few.. grand exit never happened, wasted money on sparklers I never saw. The florals were minimal-not what I was promised. She was drinking on the job. I made wedding favors w ppls names that she handed out to random ppl. Ppl saying "that's not my name" and she said "it doesn't matter just take one". I could go on honestly. Not to mention she slandered my husband's and my name to a family friend that she was recommended by. Saying we didn't pay what was owed which is completely false. I'm sure she's great at what she does per other reviews but I would never recommend her services. She has blocked me and my husband on all social media and has not responded to any of my msg. Brides beware.

It…read morewas an unusual theme, namely, Dia de Muertos, and that by itself made it rather tricky to pull off in a tasteful and jovial manner. But with Claudia's assistance and that of her entire team the day off, long months of stressful planning evolved into a beautiful, one of a kind magical night full of vibrant colors and life. Throughout the planning process I kept getting surprised at the depth of "hands on support" I got for the money I paid, often times, being reminded to let many things go. Claudia was extremely thorough and respectful with all of my vendors. From the onset of the celebration, it became clear to me that having a planner such as Claudia was not only invaluable, but the only way to bring my very complicated vision to life. There simply is no other way to plan an event without Time with Terrazas. The synchronized movement of the entire team throughout my event was simply flawless. Everyone moved quietly, quickly and efficiently to make things happen. All my last-minute requests that night were met with a smile and "can do" attitude. Everything on the checklist given to the team was executed and every cue was in place before I could even think about any of it. What differentiates Time with Terrazas from any other business is the "joy of spirit" the team, specifically Claudia, brings to the table. Many businesses can bring material perfection but, without soul, that perfection falls flat. Claudia radiates pure joy, warmth and her contagious smile and laughter melts away any host's stress. From the moment we engaged at our initial meeting to the joyous welcome we received from her upon arrival at the venue, all encounters with Claudia left me feeling lighter, serene and with a sense of positivism. With Claudia, there are no "problems" just situations that need alternatives. The building could be on fire and Claudia will still be in control. Thank you Time with Terrazas for your help in bringing to life a once in a lifetime dream in the life of my daughter and our entire family.

I knew I would need an extra set of hands (and brain) for those two months before the big day, and Claudia was absolutely invaluable to have on our team. She coordinated meetings and follow ups with all of my selected vendors for all the details and timelines. She is thorough, organized, offered incredibly helpful suggestions, and always made herself available for us with whatever we needed. Claudia was with us for the entire day - 5am when first hair & makeup chair started all the way through 11pm reception close and even later for clean up. My photo + video team (who already offers longer event hours than most) said they've never seen a coordinator truly dedicate the entire day to her couples. This means that someone who knows the entire plan for the day is always present - and that person doesn't have to be you! Again - absolutely invaluable. On the day of, having Claudia and her team truly allowed us to enjoy the day and be present at our wedding. You can't put a price on that - that is the #1 regret people have on their wedding day. She coordinated with the reception venue and vendors to execute a change of plans for rain in the evening, and while this would probably have made me stressed out of my mind had she not been there, we honestly stopped thinking about it. We consulted on my preferences for handling key moments inside vs outside - and then she took care of the rest. At the end of the night, we fully expected to need to hang around and help coordinate clean up. We had just finished chatting with guests when Claudia let us know that all our personal items were loaded up in their respective cars, and we were free to head out as soon as we were ready - we were shocked! "You mean we can just leave?! Like we don't need to do anything else?!" Shocked, I tell you. My maid of honor, who had just had her own wedding the year prior with her own planner, said Claudia was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Claudia and the Time With Terrazas team to anyone, whether it's an event or wedding.

Everyone was raving about how good the drinks were, and the bar quickly became one of the evening's highlights. Please extend our gratitude to that team for making such a lasting impression. And Jose Luis, there are genuinely not enough words to express our gratitude to you. From the very beginning, your warmth, professionalism, and vision gave us so much confidence.

Even though we hired her only for the day-of-coordination, she was always available, mostly by phone, -- and super responsive, throughout the planning process.
