Faced with a litany of prospects and knowing nothing about them -
we made the best decision we could have ever made… we hired
a wedding consultant/planner. From then on we did not have to
worry about making appointments, getting quotes, handling
negotiations on pricing… Daria did it all.

Daria listened to my vision for my wedding and guided me to
the best vendors for my concept. We worked with Daria for a year and
never once were we made to feel like we were not important.
She answered every call, every question and every distress signal.
She even handled my Dad - the quintessential George Banks.

Planning a wedding is stressful… hiring Daria made it stress-free. We love Daria and she became more than a wedding planner - she is now a friend.

We were extremely happy with Daria/Circle of Love Weddings as our wedding planner. I was very impressed with her organizational skills, scheduling and especially the good relationship she has with all of the vendors we used.

Daria gave us excellent suggestions and recommendations on all the various services we contracted. On the day of the wedding we were able to relax
and enjoy it as she took charge of all the details and the result was, according
to our daughter, 'the best day of her life.'

We recommend Daria and Circle of Love Weddings most highly.

Daria was vital to our wedding.

She made the process of planning infinitely less stressful even with our busy schedules (my husband and I are both medicine residents).

She has great relationships with vendors (they were all thrilled when they heard she was our planner). On the day of, we just got to enjoy the day while
Daria made sure all the details were in place.

We couldn't have done it without her!

Circle of Love Weddings was the best money spent on my older daughter’s wedding. Daria MacGregor was with us every step of the way.

She has perfected the art and science of the wedding event. The wedding was a stunningly gorgeous event with a hint of magic in the air. Daria was the magician.

Her ability to create the atmosphere that the bride and groom wanted for the ceremony and reception and produce it all on a budget is worth its weight in gold. Her level of organization and attention to detail is phenomenal.

As the mother-of-the-bride I felt supported and comforted
at all times. God bless Daria!

If you want someone to help you envision, plan, and organize your
perfect day, hire Daria/Circle of Love Weddings!

There are so many variables you will be juggling; it's great to
hand many over, and to coordinate with someone competent so as to
offload your own shoulders during this extensively busy time of your life!

Daria is fun, flexible, has great referrals for you and is a pleasure to work with!
