Meet Your Experts

With over 20 years of experience in the wedding and event planning industry, I oversee more than 100 events annually with a dedicated team of chefs, planners, designers, and florists. After years of witnessing couples struggle with planning their weddings, I decided to create Wedding Master Class. This platform provides comprehensive courses to help couples navigate every aspect of wedding planning, from budgeting to choosing the perfect venue. My goal is to empower couples to create their dream wedding with ease and confidence.

My name is Diana, Founder and CEO of Gather & Bloom Events. Over the years, we’ve arranged for over 300 events and have been published three times! Before starting Gather & Bloom Events, I found myself DIY-ing wedding florals for brides to help them save money from the high labor price tags. I would spend countless of hours researching different flowers, greens, and fillers that would match the overall aesthetic and budget for their event. Now I apply those learnings with couples by maximizing on the floral options nature provides to let their style shine at an ideal price!
