We got married this August and our wedding was the best day of our lives, thanks to Diana!

From the first day we met her all the way to the big day, Diana made the whole planning process so easy and stress free. She was always available to answer every little question and we are so grateful for that.

Diana made our venue look so beautiful and she took care of all our vendors as well. All we had to do was show up, get married, and enjoy the party! We cannot thank and recommend Diana enough!

Amy is a dream to work with! From the first time I met her, she instantly put us at ease. She's just the best kind of person you could imagine working with you for the biggest day ever! !! We went with our own venue and she made sure that everything went smoothly for our big day! I could always ask her anything and she was nothing but lovely, flexible, and attentive at all times *heart eyes*. Jodi worked along with Amy on the day of and she was also JUST as super!!! It sadly rained towards the end of our night (our whole wedding was outdoors) but even then Amy and Jodi did not let the party go to shambles!!! If that's not commitment, I don't know what is.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Griffith House. The venue is beautiful; simple yet elegant. This venue fit us like a glove plus it had everything we were looking for. We were able to book our own caterer, bring our own alcohol plus they have a huge parking lot for guests. The tables, chairs and decorations were beautifully placed and moved when the reception came along. We loved working with Diana! She created our wedding exactly as I envisioned it. It's one thing to have an idea, it's a much greater undertaking to make it reality and that's exactly what Diana and her team did. She was really easy to work with and very communicative. Diana took the wedding worries away through answering our questions regardless of the time of day and accommodating our requests. Her team worked really well with our other vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly. We really appreciated her recommendation of the DJ too. The moment we described having trivia and games at our wedding Diana knew exactly who would be perfect for the job. Everything was taken care of and she even made sure that we had something to eat and drink throughout the day. We had the best experience with Diana and her team! More...

We could not have pulled our wedding off without Diana.  After traveling all around Southern California looking for a venue, we hired Diana and she immediately hooked us up with the perfect spot.  We were nervous about having an outdoor wedding in September, but Diana convinced us not to worry and she was right.  Diana turned out to be right about a lot of things.  She was extremely helpful putting together the perfect event for us, especially considering we didn't want to go too overboard with anything but still wanted to create a fun event for our friends and family.  The best parts about Diana were that she was extremely responsive to our hundreds of texts/e-mails, and she was particularly chill from start to finish, which alleviated much of our stress and assured us that we were in good hands. She was also a fantastic day-of coordinator, keeping everything running smoothly at the wedding itself, keeping the mood light even as various minor things went awry (through no fault of hers!). If you're wondering whether it's worth it to hire a wedding coordinator ... Diana was definitely worth it for us.  (And her assistant was awesome too!)  Thank you Diana! More...

Working with Diana was such a pleasure! We met while I was looking at the Griffith House as a potential venue for my wedding but I had my heart set on a waterfront location. Once she let me know that I could still hire her as a day of coordinator no matter the venue, it was on! Though I opted for the day of coordinator package, Diana was available for emails and guidance throughout the entire process. Planning a wedding is no easy task and Diana was there to ease my fears and answer all my ridiculous questions. My biggest fear was the day not flowing well and thanks to Diana that was not an issue. She took the planning I had started and weaved all the pieces together for a smooth and beautiful day. My husband and I remained stress-free knowing that Diana had it all figured out! Even with my vague instruction, Diana set up our decor perfectly. If I could go back in time I would hire her for the full planning package-she's well worth it guys! I have to thank Diana and her team for helping me create a gorgeous and well ran wedding! I also really appreciate her cool and calm demeanor :) More...

Our wedding was 150 people, and we did an indoor ceremony in sanctuary with an outdoor reception, in the middle of May at the Griffith House. Working with Diana prior to the wedding was a breeze. Diana is so nice, so laid back, and was amazing in communicating with us, the vendors, and the guests on site, both before the wedding and on the day of. She was always very calm and addressed all of our questions promptly. She is very experienced with wedding coordination, and also oversees weddings at other venues in Southern California as well, which you can tell from her variety of helpful suggestions for various details that we wouldn't have thought of. As a bride, this was so crucial to me to be able to trust the coordinator, since there's already so many other things you need to worry about! The day-of execution was flawless. Diana and her assistant Amy were very experienced and professional and constantly reassuring to make sure everyone was relaxed and on the same page throughout the day, and they set up the decorations even better than I could have myself!! Very rarely do I come across people as logistical and detail-oriented as me, haha. If I drove her crazy with my OCDness, Diana never showed it one bit. Our ceremony decorations, reception centerpieces, table numbers, bridge decor, and miscellaneous details were all meticulously taken care of and set up exactly according to our detailed (and probably very annoying) specifications! Diana and Amy also helped us to improvise when we ran into technical difficulties. Diana was calm but firm in helping us wing it, which was extremely professional and so helpful.Cleaning up everything was also a breeze! We had our wedding party help out, but dismantling equipment and cleaning up venue and collecting all the decorations comes with the venue, and Diana and Amy were so helpful in making sure we had everything packed up and off site.Overall I couldn't recommend and Hutchinson Wedding's enough. I can't wait until we get our wedding photos to be able to better show off their work. More...

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony here on 10/11/14. I just have to say.. our wedding was perfect!

First of all, when we we searching for the venue, I did a tiresome search on garden reception areas near the Long Beach area. There were many cute places, but some were way out of our price range and/or were not flexible about bringing in our own vendors (my husband and I wanted to have Korean catering at our wedding since it tastes so good!). After I looked through the Griffith House/FCCA websites, I found out that not only did this site have the lighted garden reception area that I dreamed of, but it also allowed us to bring in our own caterers and it was just steps away from a chapel site that could fit our large guestlist of 300 (my husband wanted to get married inside a church). Once we previewed the site in person, we knew this place was the one!

The chapel is short but wide. We liked how the chapel was shaped because it allowed the whole group to have a good view of us (and I liked how I didn't have to walk a nerve-wracking mile down the aisle!). Some decor was provided, but not much was needed other than some flowers. We would recommend however, that they improve on their sound tech.

The reception area was absolutely GORGEOUS! We had our cocktail hour while the sun was still up, so all our guests were able to see the luscious greenery and the kids were able to run around and play. Once the reception started, the sun started to set, which created such a beautiful view. And when the sun actually set, the lights went on and it was stunning. We had so many friends and family say how pretty our venue was. I could have not agreed more. During the reception, my husband and I were telling each other how it all felt like a dream as were sitting at our sweetheart table and looking around at all our family and friends in the midst of the

But make no mistake, Diana has an amazing list of vendors ready to suggest. She is a true professional and has EVERYTHING under control!!! This venue made it possible for us to have a gorgeous celebration of our love, for nearly 300 guests and not go broke. If you are looking for a romantic and intimate location to celebrate, you have found it at the Ahlswede House! More...

My sister was married here last month. It is a beautiful venue and the event planner went above and beyond what any of us could have ever expected! Most of the last minute problems that would usually ruin this special day were promtly taken care, which was a huge relief to my sister and the entire wadding party and family. I especially enjoyed the lighting in the trees and the amazing view of the Long Beach Harbor. Great outdoor venue in Southern California!! More...

The Ahlswede House is the most amazing venue! The house looks like something out of a storybook. The attention to details and beauty of the home made for a perfect backdrop to our wedding. We got married under the giant peppertree at sunset with twinklelights and candles in old mason jars hanging from the branches. The on-site coordinator, Diana is wonderful! She is so on the ball and extremely creative. She had the most wonderful centerpiece ideas and I felt like she was really listening to me. She got to know us and treated us like old friends, which made our special day even more special. I highly recommend the Ahlswede House for any event - especially a wedding =) More...
