About Diamond Receptions Wedding Planning & Design

Diamond Receptions Wedding Planning & Design

Founder/CEO & Lead Planner

Diamond Receptions is a luxury wedding planning, coordination, & design company built on one belief: every couple has a story worth telling. For over 30 years, I've had the privilege of stepping into that story my couples, and listening for what makes their day theirs, designing it detail by detail. Just care, creativity, and genuine investment. Whether full-service planning, partial planning, or day-of coordination, you get the same thing: someone truly in your corner, holding the details so you can be fully present. I work with a limited number of couples each season, by design. Every couple has a story. I'd love to help tell yours.

Most planners execute one style well. I've spent thirty years proving I can build any story a couple hands me — Renaissance, fairy-tale, whimsical, timeless — and make it feel effortless, right down to the smallest detail. And when you book Diamond Receptions, you get me. Not a team, not a rotating cast of coordinators, not a junior planner filling in for the "real" one. I'm personally with you from our first conversation to your last dance, holding every detail with care. Your wedding deserves someone who sees it as more than an event to manage. I'd love to be that someone for you.

In three words: Creative, Nurturing, Resourceful

Description

Blue Diamond is where I give you everything. From the moment we sign, your wedding becomes my singular focus — guided personally by me, never handed off. I curate trusted vendors, manage every detail of your budget and timeline, and design each room to feel unmistakably yours. On your day, I'm there for every moment, start to strike — so all you have to do is be present. This isn't a package. It's my full heart, given to your story.

Partial Planning is for the couple who's begun the journey and wants an expert by their side to elevate it. I refine your vision, perfect the details, and guide every decision from where you are to "I do" — with unlimited communication and one dedicated point of contact throughout. I design each room to feel intentional, coordinate every vendor, and personally run your rehearsal and wedding day, start to strike. Your plans, made effortless.

For couples who've done the planning and want a calm, confident team to perfect the final details and execute flawlessly. I build your minute-by-minute timeline, lead your rehearsal, and confirm every vendor in advance. On your day, I'm onsite with an assistant for up to eight hours — styling every detail, running your timeline, and handling every logistic — so you simply arrive and enjoy. Effortless, start to finish.

    Above Expectations, Martinze Wedding

    Taren was with my family from the first phone call to the beautiful wedding. My granddaughters dream of the perfect wedding came true in Orlando Florida. Our whole experience was flawless. It anything went wrong behind the scenes Taren took care of everything and let my family have a relaxing day and enjoyed the wedding. I would highly recommend Diamond Receptions for any bride and groom to have the most perfect day. When I found Diamond Receptions we took out the full service package and Taren was with us for two years answering phone calls and answering every question right down to the wedding day. Our family lives part in Georgia and the part of the family lives in south Florida. Taren made this wedding so elegant and everything we wanted and we do not even live in Orlando. All was done with endless texting and emails. Her team and recommendations were 5 star- plus. Thank you Diamond Receptions for Ashley and Luis Happy Ever After.

    A gorgeous fairy tale wedding!

    When I first contacted Taren, my husband and I had been engaged for nearly a year with absolutely nothing decided except our colors. It wasn't that we couldn't agree on anything, it was that we both didn't want to make decisions when we weren't the professionals. Taren said that she could do everything (within reason) and that we wouldn't have to worry about anything. I immediately booked her. She then spent a few months researching our theme. When Ren Faire season started up again, she came with us to a few to gauge her understanding of our theme and find little things that would fit in the decor. It was at one of these that she shared that she had been in talks to do something so over the top and wonderful, but because of cost and wanting what was best for the wildlife on property, decided against it. It was at this moment that we knew that our wedding was going to be perfect. Anyone who spends time with us will quickly find out that while we love a spectacle, we want everyone involved to be happy, including the animals that may be a part of that show. Taren got us! After we had the big ticket items bought and booked, she sat down with us and explained her vision in pictures. We said yes and let her do her thing. She took care of contracts, payments, our invitations and tracking, all the decisions, everything. She asked for a bit of money to do a few surprises for us, and we agreed. At rehearsal, she told the entire bridal party what to expect and what they needed to do to make sure the day went off without a hitch. She had us rehearse twice, told us where to go in the morning, and sent us off. The day of the wedding, I walked into a getting ready room that looked like something straight off of pinterest: a long dining table set and decorated was in the middle, ready for lunch, we had four stations for hair and makeup, one with a plush faux fur rug for comfort, an entire tea, coffee, and mimosa station, etc. When I saw it, I started crying. I don't see myself as someone who knows how to prioritizes the esthetic (hence our need for a full service planner), and to know that my bridal party would be in such a beautiful room and that they would be happy and cared for gave me such joy! After we had hair and makeup done, Taren and our photographer and videographer whisked us to the venue next door. Taren made sure we didn't see anything and spoil the surprise. When it was time for ceremony, she set us up for procession and went off to make sure the guys knew what they were doing (they went in a different way). Our first surprise was that my husband walked in to bagpipes! It perfectly pulled our theme together (he was in a kilt) and I had tears before even starting my walk. When it was my turn, I walked outside to a completely transformed wonderland. She brought in potted ferns and trees as decor! Perfectly sustainable, gorgeous greenery with lights twinkling our wedding colors. Let me tell you, I was crying so hard I was so happy. It was breathtakingly beautiful. But let me tell you, when we did photos, she and her team used all of that greenery from the ceremony in reception so that nothing was wasted. And our reception looked like a forest at night (she made moonlight with LEDs, put trees on tables, used candlelight lighting, and made our sweetheart table look like a throne!)! I cannot stress enough how beautiful everything was, how flawlessly everything seemed to run that day, and how happy we were to have hired Taren! Thank you!

I absolutely do! While weddings are my heart and my specialty, I love helping couples carry that same care into the events surrounding the big day. Showers, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and everything in between. There's something wonderful about a wedding weekend where every event feels connected, rather than separate parties pieced together. Whether you're looking for full planning on an additional event or just a bit of guidance to pull it all together, I'd love to help make it feel just as special as your wedding day. If that's something you're envisioning, I'd love to talk through what you have in mind!
