My name is Diane Freeland and I am a Certified Wedding Planner and owner of Events of Sophistication. My company’s services include wedding and special events planning. Regardless of the size of the event, from a small, simple, intimate gathering to a large, formal, grandiose affair, Events of Sophistication will handle every detail from its inception to the grand finale with professionalism, expertise and a personal touch.

To demonstrate my commitment to providing the highest level of service to my clients, I obtained my wedding planner certification in 2006 and maintain active membership in the Association of Bridal Consultants – the nation’s largest professional organization dedicated to the wedding planning industry. Further, I recently partnered with David’s Bridal and will be the preferred wedding planner in its Glen Burnie, Maryland store.

Another venture that I am excited about is my partnership with a friend and colleague in establishing The Magic Wand Project. Our mission is to provide, through charitable donations, attire and accessories for underprivileged young men and women to wear to their junior and senior proms. We have established partnerships with high schools such as Woodlawn High School, located in Baltimore, MD and Dunbar High School, located in Washington, DC. Other partnerships include 100 Black Men, The Tuxedo House, Sheraton and will be forming a partnership with Alston and Bird LLC for the 2010/2011 school year.
