Testimonial from Rosemary Houston
"For the past 15 years I have been the recipient of Diane Bedford's amazing abilities at arranging parties, functions and her own wedding.
Diane has exquisite taste in decor and style, always making her function run with effortless grace and seemingly, no energy.
Every detail is fine tuned and nothing seems too much for her to do.
Food is always divine and beautifully presented.
Diane often has two or three "do's" she is arranging in quick succession, especially around Christmas, but this does not seem to pressure her.
In fact, she seems to thrive on meeting new people and arranging events for this to happen.
Diane rarely gets into a flap. Contrarily, she is always able to think outside the square in times of "oops", and turns it around in true style. She is very calm and always efficient.
I would truly recommend Diane as a planner of events, especially special ones such as weddings, where everything needs to be finely detailed and carried out with sensitivity and style.
She is a true professional with whatever she does and has an empathy that must be valued extremely highly in her new role as a Wedding Planner.
I wish her all the luck and success in this new venture which I am sure she will make an amazing success of."

Testimonial from Honor Ronowicz
Karen has been a personal friend of mine for the past 24 years. During the years of our friendship I have personally appreciated and enjoyed Karen's many positive qualities.
Karen is very easy to get along with. She is friendly and amenable. Someone who is always thoughtful and inclusive, she remembers details and ensures you feel very special by recalling these and commenting on them. Karen opens her home to you and your family. She has an amazing hospitable nature. She makes you feel welcome and important. One of the qualities I admire most about Karen is her sense of fun and her wonderful sense of humour. She is always ready with a smile and a laugh.
These personal qualities truly make Karen ideal for this fabulous venture she has embarked upon but also she has many other great qualities that will enhance her professional work as well.
Karen has an elegant and creative sense of style, a natural flair with home decoration, floral art, cooking, landscaping and gardening. This flair is also apparent in her own personal style in dress and grooming. She is very current with styles and innovations and intertwines recent trends into her world with talent. She has always amazed me with her ability to create an environment around her that is stylish, artistic and yet still very much a place where you feel at ease and relaxed.
I can think of no better person to take on the undertaking of wedding planner. This is a natural niche for Karen.
All the best Karen, you will be awesome at this vocation.

Testimonial from Angela Wilson
"Congratulations on your up and coming wedding!
It is with much excitement and anticipation, I write this reference.
A friend and neighbour of Diane's for the past 10 years, I know this is,
without a doubt something Diane will do exceptionally well.
She has a passion for entertaining people, and has something know as the 'X-factor' when it comes to planning and organizing functions.
From my very first introduction to Diane, I could (as you will) note her fabulous personality, beautiful presentation and class.
Over the years I have seen Diane put together some fantastic and memorable functions for her family and friends.
From 21st's and 50th's to dinner parties and themed social gatherings, Diane has a very personalized style that adds a point of difference and class to any function.
Her meticulous planning and attention to every small detail so clear, from the decorating and layout
of the venue to the format of the evenings proceedings. She has fabulous taste, is creative, full of fresh ideas and has always drawn on reputable people, equally talented in their respective fields of catering and entertainment, insuring the success of every function.
Diane is very organized and a great communicator, who will take your own ideas on board and add that extra sparkle.
She will create something quite unique.
Already very experienced in organizing fantastic functions, it gives me great pleasure to give you my personal recommendation.
Diane will certainly create for you, happy memories of a wonderful occasion."
Kind regards,
Angela Wilson |

Testimonial from Brian W. Brown
"I have known Diane for over twenty years and she informs me that along with her close friend Karen Bryant they have set up "Avec Amour" wedding planners.
An occupation such as this would require a tremendous amount of commitment and resourcefulness, as a lot of expectations, happiness and memories are at stake.
To that end I could not think of anyone more qualified to live up to, and ultimately fulfil those same expectations than Diane.
Her meticulous attention to detail and inherent ability to handle difficult situations with aplomb would engender a level of confidence in those who have dealings with her, which in the writers view, would clearly make this venture one of a highly successful nature.
Wishing you every success,
Brian W. Brown

Testimonial from Daphne Earles
I have had the pleasure of knowing Diane Bedford for 10 years. Over these 10 years I have attended a number of functions she has organised and also Diane has organised functions for me.
The functions have been varied from 21st birthday, 50th birthday, Christmas parties, and Theme parties. Diane’s organisational skills are outstanding, and her style is exceptional.
Avec Amour is a new venture for Diane and Karen and I am sure if you want the upmost satisfaction in wedding planning you will not be disappointed.
I would not hesitate at all in recommending Diane to organise any function no matter its size and budget.
Warm Regards
Daphne Earles

Testimonial from Margie Foster
I have known Karen Bryant for 17 years or so. Our families grew up together.
Karen has an amazing warm and friendly personality. Communication is a natural gift. Karen has an amazing ability to communicate with people from all walks of life, and of any age.
Karen's work within the banking industry led her to a high level, and I believe with distinction, organisation comes easy to her. The administration within her job has given her a balanced yet fair appreciation on how business's run. If the need arises troubleshooting will be sorted quickly and efficiently and always with a smile.
Karen will add a touch of panache, style and grace to your wedding, her eye for detail, with carefree ease will take all the hassle out of your wedding day and surprise you.
I can say with confidence that Karen will be easy to work with, professional, have great listening skills, and be able to bring your plans to fruition. Wedding Planning has been a dream of hers for some time, and she will embark on this new adventure with enthusiasm and gusto.
