On Friday, January 18th I was honored to joined the ABC News family as the opening interview and wedding expert for their “Wedding Confidential” Special on 20/20. I was so excited to interview with ABC correspondent Amy Robach who was fun and witty, charming and so easy to talk to. Jason Sky styled me in a gorgeous Stella McCartney dress, Christian Louboutin heels and Proenza Schouler handbag. Leo Eley perfected my make-up with a nude face and not so small top knot while hanging with me in NYC for this interview – keeping my spirits high and laughing all day. In case you missed the interview, here is a clip of a few of my tips that made it on the ABC website. And I promise, the fried chicken comment just slipped…oooops!
with sincere gratitude,
So please share…I’m dying to know. What did you think? How did I do?



I saw your interview last Friday night. You did a great job – very energetic and engaging. As event professionals, being calm and reassuring is one of best characteristics we can have. It certainly helps with the bride and those surrounding her can model this too. Lots of love from the east coast! LaTonya
Wow Diann, really enjoyed interview about wedding tips. You were definitely dress for the part and the advice was priceless. Hope you continue to be able to offer you expert advice on ABC and other national networks.
P.S. I so happy you are the wedding planner for NeNe and Gregg Leakes upcoming wedding.
Sorry I meant hope you are the wedding planner for NeNe and Gregg Leakes upcoming wedding. So excited to post my comment. LOL!!!!
Jarvis – I was about to ask do you know something I don’t? Lol
I thought you were great Diann. You came across as the accomplished professional, personable planner you are. I was also wondering if you had any plans to come to the UK to do any workshops over here? I’m sure there would be a high volume of people who would love to attend one of your workshops, I know I would!
Bravo! Elegant and engaging! Informative and funny! Black and beautiful!

P.S. Could you please tell me who did the flowers for Bishop T.D. Jakes dinner party and brunch. Itt looks like it was done by Todd Fiscus of Todd Events in Dallas, TX? I truly love that entire event.
