Reviews
“She was everything that I had hoped for: easy to work with, respectful of my budget, great taste and very organized. She allowed me to enjoy the big day. It really was the Best. Wedding. Ever. I already have recommended Perfect Planning Events to friends and family, and will continue to do so!”
“Tara and her crew rocked! I had no care in the world...other than worrying that I would trip down the aisle. She even had a nice gift basket for my husband-to-be and groomsmen to enjoy while they were getting ready/waiting for the girls to get ready. I had a candy buffet that she put together and it looked like something out of a magazine…absolutely stunning. I still get compliments on it!”
“I had requested her highest package, but after speaking with her, she said that since I planned on being fairly involved, I didn’t need the most expensive package and charged me less. I was willing to pay more, but she was so honest and wasn’t trying to rip me off. That’s when I knew she was a keeper.”
“I liked that Tara always listened to what our vision was, and did her best to make it happen—no matter how far-fetched.”
“I did not have a vision; however, Tara created and provided vision boards and ideas to get my creative juices going. Once I begin to see options, I really knew what I wanted.”
“Because she had such good relationships with vendors, she often negotiated better pricing for their services on our behalf. Throughout the entire process she offered valuable advice/tips and on the wedding day, she totally ran the show, leaving us with no worries.”
“Tara saw my vision, made recommendations for things she had experience with, and asked the questions that I hadn’t even thought about. She was thorough and specific. She was the best decision I made on my wedding day, except for the groom!”
“I hold her in the highest regard and couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her.”
