I hired Taren 2 weeks before my wedding and she did an amazing job. My only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner! She took care of everything! Taren went above and beyond what I asked her to do. She made certain everything ran smoothly on my wedding day and that everything was perfect. She even brought in some of her own special surprises that really made the reception! When my Photographer bailed on me 2 days before my wedding Taren had a replacement within the hour and he was amazing! This woman really knows what she is doing and will make certain that everything is perfect the bride is not stressed or worried about anything! I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. As soon as I hired her all of my worries went out the window and I was really able to enjoy the week before and after my wedding! Thanks so much Taren! — Kayla

Taren is a not just a good coordinator... she is a great one. Throughout the evening, Taren made sure things were organized and run with the utmost consideration for the client and for everyone involved in the event. She was careful to organize the vendors without interfering in their jobs, allowing each of us to maintain the level of efficiency that the client expects.

On Behalf of the Bateman family we would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication for Jim and Courtney’s wedding.  You and your team were outstanding.  Your professionalism, appearance, and how you conducted yourselves was second to none.  Being in the business, we only recommend the best and you are definitely one of the best coordinators in Central Florida.  We really appreciate all the extra touches you put on our event to make it special.  You and your team went above and beyond what was asked of you.  We would like you to know that we consider you a friend in the business and would love to continue working with you.  God bless you, your family, and your business.  — Courtney & Jim

I hired Diamond Receptions to handle my daughter’s Rehearsal and Day of events. My daughter and I were well prepared for our first meeting with Taren whereupon the three of us communicated exactly what we expected of each other. Taren was always on time for meetings and dressed for business.

Skipping ahead to the day of the wedding, Taren arranged for timing and delivery of all vendor materials and set up as well as placement of any religious and special personal items. Her assistant, Lynn, was with my daughter and catered to her every need. She was outstanding. Never once did Taren overstep any boundaries or make decisions without consulting either my daughter or myself. She worked very well with the other vendors and left them to do their jobs and she did hers. If the photographer needed more time, she adjusted accordingly.

Taren was present when needed and not present when not needed. After the wedding, she washed and packaged all of our personal items that were used during the wedding and gave them back in their original condition.

I have a very strong personality as does Taren, but with mutual respect and constant communication, I was able to completely relax and enjoy every moment of my daughter’s wedding day while she executed our visions. — Sherri

Taren Schwarz and her team are outstanding to work with and I would highly recommend them to any couple, venue, or other wedding professional.

Thought I'd give you a few weeks to get over my MOB stressing you.  lol  I want to thank you for all that you did for us.  The wedding was fabulous and everyone has said how wonderful it was and how much they enjoyed it.  Please thank your "people" too.  None of my friends can believe I was as stress free as I was.  Of course, you got to see the other side.  lol  I will recommend you to all the people I know. — Janet

I have known Taren on a personal level for many years. Throughout these years she has been a great friend and mentor. Taren is someone my family and I could always depend on. Taren is that go to person you need when you want to get a job done.
Taren is an intelligent and a motivated individual. She is more than capable of managing small and large events. I recently was married in October at Church on The Square. Taren was the head of the decorating for my reception room. The morning of my wedding the table cloths did not come in, Taren managed to get them last minute and at a cheaper rate. My head table was absolutely gorgeous as well as the rest of the room. . My wedding was supposed to begin at 4:30 and at 5:00 my minister had not shown up. My mom and I asked Taren to officiate the wedding. Within 5 minutes we were starting the wedding. Taren did an amazing job during the ceremony; she was very poised and professional. Most of the guest did not even realize we had any problems. I would recommend Taren to anyone wanting to plan a great party or wedding. You will not go wrong or be disappointed. — Chevis

We have worked with Taren on many weddings and have found her to be professional, energetic, tasteful and a person of her word. She attends all of her clients appointments and guides them with budget, timelines and/or colors/themes, etc. I would highly recommend Taren for any event planning.

"You and your team were very professional throughout the whole wedding process. Everyone was so friendly and easy to talk to, and you definitely knew what you were talking about in terms of any questions I had. Very helpful, no question was left un answered. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a more professional wedding planner than you." — Lindsey & Tim

My DJs and I have had the good fortune of working with Taren Schwarz and her team from Diamond Receptions on several occasions.

In an industry saturated with amateurs it is a pleasure to work with a true professional. Taren has taken her talents and experience from her many years in corporate events and transitioned smoothly to the world of weddings. With her attention to detail, and her dedication to both her clients an d fellow vendors, she has quickly gained a great reputation within the industry.

Not only is Taren a great coordinator to work with, she is also a wonderful sales person. She has a knack for finding her client’s needs and directing them to the vendor that will be best fit to assist. Her clients trust her judgment, so when a bride comes to you from Taren you can be sure that this a quality lead.

We’ve worked with a lot of coordinators throughout the years and I must say, we’ve NEVER had anyone as on top of the day and keeping the entire vendor staff up to date as you and your team!
