Darian at Location Connection was an essential part of our wedding. She was friendly, knowledgeable, innovative, and got things done. She helped us turn our vague wedding dreams into a solid vision that became an amazing reality! From finding the perfect location for our outdoor wedding at a fantastic 1928 old Hollywood home to nailing the tiniest details like how our escort cards/luggage tags would be displayed to wrangling all our vendors and even working behind our backs to help our friends put together a fantastic flash mob dance that blew us away, she really made our wedding fantastic! She introduced us to some fantastic vendors that made sure our food, flowers, and music were unforgettable! She was like a right-hand assistant to my bride through the process, and through her we found the perfect band, linens, flowers, food, venue, and decor. If you find a venue you love on the site, I highly recommend reaching out to Location Connection to find out if it's available for your wedding, and working with Darian to put together all the pieces of your vision. read more

Negative Review....this took me over a few decades but here it is...My personal experience. I hired Location Connection back in 2000 because I thought it was a good idea. Boy was I wrong! I believe Darian tried very hard to nickel and dime me on everything. Before the wedding she wanted money from all the vendors (a steep finders fee). Vendors that I personally hired not her. So no, she got zero from the vendors. She suggested that we put plastic down on the floors to avoid accidents....WTH? I told her that my guests were not animals and we bought a million dollar insurance policy for the day. An idiotic suggestion that was immediately dismissed. No accidents happened and no ugly plastic was used. My wedding was not a million dollar event and I believe her efforts almost made it cheap but I did not let that happen. She called a few weeks before the wedding which was planned for months and arrived late to work on my wedding day. A disturbing incident happened when she gave me a lame excuse. She asked me for an additional $300 on my wedding day despite the fact that we put down a thousand dollar deposit for incidentals weeks before the wedding. We never got back the deposit. She was irritated when the owner opened up the entire location to us with zero additional costs. I believe she wanted to charge us more $$$ for the additional rooms and the use of the grand piano and kitchen. I should have asked her to mail me the invoice but I paid it so that she would go away with her phony smile. She became hostile when my husband asked about the deposit and the reason for the additional $300. She also had the moxie to ask the video guy for a copy of my wedding without asking me for permission. The video was a beautiful gift from my parents and I said absolutely no to that crap. My wedding video was not for her to display to future clients...HELL NO! I also lost an earring at the location and she would not give me the owner's number to call which left me distressed. Lucky for me I had the number and called myself. Yes, I got back my lost earring back on my own. All Location Connection did was find me a place to get married and that help was from an assistant named Anastasia who quit Location Connection. I did not need a wedding coordinator since we hired all the vendors on our own. Darian was rude before and after the wedding. She was more of a hindrance than a help. I'm surprised Location Connection is still in business. I would not recommend this company for any event! IMHO read more

Darian's warmth and energetic spirit came through right away on our first phone call! She is incredibly knowledgeable within the event industry and you can certainly tell this is her true passion and craft! I would highly recommend working with Darian as she will ensure that all of your event needs are met by thinking of alternative and creative ways to make your event magical and unforgettable. She truly leaves no stone unturned or idea unexplored! A true GEM! read more

Thank you Location Connection for coming through with the stunning Mid Century Modern Estate for my UK productions. As an Intl. Producer, I can count on you to help me meet my deadlines once again! Thank you for all your efforts. I look forward to working with you again. read more

If I could give it negative stars I would! I have requested a ton of information regarding wedding packages for different venues and this was the absolute WORST company I spoke to. Rude, ignorant, and thought they were hot shots. The clientele was very rude. They took a MONTH to finally respond to my emails only to tell me they weren't available for that date.. so why couldnt they tell me what date they were available for? I would have planned around it, I was only merely setting a "date" to work with. . I did not appreciate the harassing phone call from this company made TWO MONTHS LATER-- I would not recommend having your wedding through this company. Terrible business. Plus they paid to have my first review removed for NO REASON to even when it complied to the guidelines of yelp... REAL PROFESSIONAL.. read more

Hi Darian and Joe, on behalf of our Family , we thank you for having Modern Family selected our home for their shoots. You have great professional teams that really look after the house during the entire event. We look forward to do many more businesses in near future. All the best, Jeff read more

Darian and her team at Location Connection really know how to deliver Private Estates for events - and most importantly they truly stay on top of it every step of the way. They have a large number of gorgeous homes in their inventory, as well are always scouting new homes. We were on a search for a luxury modern estate for our Corporate Product Launch and they provided an extensive mansion tour, leading us to the perfect venue for our client. We look forward to working with them again soon! read more

Dishonest, fraudulent, hostile (to name a few)- overall horrible experience, do not waste your time or money. If it was possible to give 0 stars, i would have. Stay away at all costs. read more

I've been in the Event business for almost a decade, and whenever I'm looking for a beautiful private venue - I call Darian. Their selection of homes is diverse, and she is prompt to let us know of the rules and challenges up front - whether it's a tough valet location, or to turn the sprinklers off days before to ensure women don't sink in their heels! I highly recommend them for their property selections and professionalism. read more

I have been selling the finest homes in Los Angeles for over 30 years including the sale Of The Playboy Mansion in 2016 and as a result get lots of inquiries for locations, filming, events, weddings, etc. Additionally I refer clients looking to lease out their homes for films and events. I have been referring all my business to Darian for nearly 20 years. Everyone I have ever referred to Darian has thanked m . She treats every location as if it's her own and every client like they are family. read more

Darian & Joe know their stuff. Darian is a pro. We had a complex television shoot, and everything went perfectly. This was a big network shoot for a show called "Pitch" with a very large crew, and no room for errors. Thank you Darian & Joe for the wonderful job. read more

Thank you Location Connection for coming through with the two Private Estates for our Fashion still photography shoot. Everyone from the designer to the models had a great experience working with your staff at location connection as well as the homes. Thank you for the great customer service and we look forward to working with you again soon. read more

I've had the fortunate opportunity to work with Darian and the Location Connection while I was head of events at a large Corporate Entertainment Company in the past as well as with my own events company now. Darian is a pleasure to work with and has a ton of knowledge in the event venue location area in and around Los Angeles. The home owners in which she represents are very reputable and their properties are absolutely stunning. Anytime I'm in need of a unique event space for my clients my first call is to Darian! I would definitely recommend their services to anyone who thinks "outside the box" for their personal or corporate event needs! read more

I really enjoyed working with Location Connection on our charity event. They spent a lot of time with us finding the right location and also worked great deals with the catering and flowers. We found a great mansion in the Hollywood Hills overlooking the city - Nice! Very professional and our VIP celebrity guests were treated wonderfully by their staff. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Location Connection and Darian and Joe for a client launch event and am SO grateful to have been recommended to their team. I needed to find a very specific style of mansion in Beverly Hills for a high profile media event, and had trouble navigating my options and trusting the right location scout + property manager for this project as I am based in New York and truly needed to find the right fit to make this event come to life. After working with a couple of other companies, I was so grateful to meet Darian and Joe because they were so precise in understanding my needs and vision and exceeded my highest hopes with the homes they had within their portfolio. My team had site visits scheduled at the BEST venues on the market within 2 days. I had a limited budget for my client's expectations, and Darian and Joe were seamless in contractually making sure all of our needs were met and that the owner felt safe, confident, and excited in providing their venue to this project. They were thorough, professional, creative, and KIND in their service, and I am so grateful to have found this resource in LA and can't wait to work with this team again! read more

I have only talked with Darian on the phone. She has been the most informative event coordinator I have talked to yet as I consider planning an out of town wedding. She has gone out of her way to give me a wealth of knowledge, and I truly appreciate that!! Thanks Darian :) read more

We had a terrible experience with The Location Connection. My husband and I had our wedding at one of the properties they represent. When we first toured the estate we specifically asked them whether some of the ideas we had for our wedding would be possible at this location. Darian assured us that they were all possible and they encouraged creative ideas. A month or so before the wedding she completely reneged which was extremely stressful, disappointing, and costly. For example, she told us we weren't allowed to use the entryway at all just a few weeks before our big day and we had already rented furniture! When we called to speak to her about this, she told us she would call right back and never did. She refused to take any of our calls and told us she would only speak to the wedding planner. What?!? The night of the wedding, Darian and her husband spent the entire reception policing our guests. The estate was beautiful but working with The Location Connection was awful. Darian and her husband are poor business owners and unkind people. read more
