Diann Valentine

Diann Valentine started planning weddings in high school.  She took a detour, heading up worldwide production for Warner Home Video, before the nuptials of film director Antoine Fuqua and actress Lela Rochon pulled her back to her calling.  Featured in InStyle magazine, the ceremony opened a floodgate of opportunity as Valentine contributed to multiple media outlets and coached Usher, Nas, Kelis and Toni Braxton through their big days.  A TNT reality show didn’t last, but her brand remains strong with a book, Weddings Valentine Style, and line of wedding stationary in circulation.
