Corporate Event Reviews
“I want to express my sincere appreciation for your contribution to the 2011 Worldfest Event. Brenda told me what a huge help you were with making the sponsor’s hospitality suite very inviting for everyone. Even though the temperatures were staying close to 100 degrees, families did not let that stop them from enjoying foods from around the world, great entertainment and wonderful shopping opportunities. We look forward to continuing to work with you on this event and other projects throughout the year.”
— Greg Fischer, Mayor of Louisville
“My expectations, and those of my client, are very high indeed. I’ve worked with DMC’s all over the world. And you are one of the most thorough, professional and hard-working of them all! You have excellent relationships with your suppliers (transportation companies, convention center staff, etc) and that was very apparent to us during our program, and is something I consider to be of paramount importance in a DMC. There is no doubt that if I am doing a program again in the Louisville area, we will be working with you and Essential Details. I recommend you to one and all!”
— Helen V. Sullivan, Maritz
“Thank you guys, too, for a super fun night [Secretariat screening]. Even though the weather was cold and windy, the whole evening was warm with a tremendous, positive vibe. You, and the dynamic duo of Cindy and Sheryl, were great fun to work with. We are proud that our very special movie got such a wonderful launch!”
— Lylle Breier, Disney
“Diana and her team were amazing to work with. She was always available and willing to go above and beyond to make sure our needs we met. Planning our first in-person meeting since the start of the pandemic was a breeze with Essential Details. I will recommend this DMC to other groups traveling to the Louisville area.”

“I am an event planner with a company that does events all over the country and deals with DMCs around the country. We have had the pleasure of hosting 2 recent events in Louisville and have used Essential Details for both of them. Our first event, they impressed us with their knowledge, efficiency and professionalism, as well as their customer service and exceeded all our expectations for our transportation needs. When we decided to return to Louisville for another event, there was no question that we would use their services again and they delivered another remarkable experience from transportation to our group dinner décor and securing entertainment.
We will continue to partner with Essential Details anytime we are in Louisville!”

Wedding Coordination Reviews
“They took our wedding vision and brought it to life. Not only did they help us with our vision but they added many details that we didn’t even consider. Essential Details is amazing and we couldn’t have had our dream wedding without them.”
— Amy Ghibaudy
“I am so glad we hired Essential Details for our wedding day coordination! In the days leading up to our wedding, our Essential Details coordinator took over the back and forth communication with all of our vendors and worked with them seamlessly. She put together an ideal wedding day schedule for us and handled our last minute adjustments with ease. Our wedding day was wonderful, and our coordinator made it so that we didn’t have to think about logistics once that day. I would definitely recommend working with Essential Details for your wedding!”
— Elise Hamm
“I would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all of you for making our wedding so wonderful. All of our vendors did a fantastic job and we received dozens of compliments from our guests on everything, food, music, hotel, venue...the works. Several attendees said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!”
— Colin & Lauren Patrick
“On our wedding day, Diana and the Essential Details team were so kind and helpful. I genuinely enjoyed working with them. Our reception space was flawless because her team worked all morning to prepare for our guests. Diana brought me and husband drinks, checked on us throughout the night, and kept our timeline running smoothly. She even helped me change into different shoes! This just shows her team was willing to go above and beyond. I highly recommend you contact this team of professionals.”
— Caitlin Hagan
“I can’t recommend Essential Details enough! We were lucky enough to work with Diana for our wedding planning and coordination, rentals, as well as their partner, Lauren at Blooms by Essential Details, for florals. Diana was extremely helpful throughout the planning process - always available to answer any random questions, keep us on track, communicate with our vendors, and support our vision. She helped execute everything we hoped for, and kept us sane in the process! Not to mention how amazing she was day-of, and how she kept everything flowing and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. I could 100% trust that she would have everything taken care of, so we were able to fully relax and enjoy our day.
We also really enjoyed that Essential Details provided most of our rentals (chairs, tables, bars, etc), so we could keep it simple and through one company. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and reception spaces, and I can’t thank Diana and the team enough for helping to make it happen!”
