BEST wedding planner in NYC! Tara and her team at Dream Makers made planning our wedding a fun and stress-free experience. From our initial consultation to throughout the planning process, my (now) husband and I felt understood, supported and guided in all of the best ways. Couldn't recommend Dream Makers more!
Where do we even begin? You'll often hear from people that planning a wedding, while fun, is also so stressful. However, my husband and I never once felt stressed knowing we had Tara there with us every step of the way. I went through rounds and rounds of interviews trying to find the right wedding planner, and the moment I spoke with Tara, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. She has such a clear vision, makes sure everything is taken care of, and goes above and beyond to bring your wedding dreams to reality. The best way I could describe her dedication to her clients is by telling this story. We were scheduled for a venue walk through in Brooklyn and Tara was driving all the way from Long Island. However, as she was on her way, she got into a car accident and totaled her car. My husband and I tried to tell Tara to take care of herself and not worry about this walk through, since the accident was clearly most important and we knew that there would be more walk throughs in the future. Instead, Tara immediately took a cab to the nearest coffee shop and FaceTimed with us through the whole walk through so she wouldn't miss a thing. Truly not even a major car crash could stop her from being there for her clients and we were so grateful for her. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and none of it would have been possible without Tara and her team. She is truly the best of the best and we are so happy we were able to work with her. You must book Tara, I promise you won't regret it!
Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and it’s all because we hired Tara at DreamMakers. Seriously!! So many people keep telling us that our Oct 2024 wedding at Midtown Loft and Terrace was the best wedding they have ever been to! Tara is not your standard cookie cutter wedding planner. She is creative, knowledgeable about the whole industry, and she makes things happen. Tara made planning so easy and smooth. From the beginning, she listened to the vision of what we wanted and helped us narrow down the infinite sea of vendors and venues to a more manageable set of options. She is very responsive and great to work with. I’ll *almost* miss wedding planning, because I will definitely miss Tara!
Another thing we appreciate about Tara is she helped us decide what was worth splurging money on and what we could save some on. She connected us with the most incredible vendors ever. When we had a strong idea of what we wanted she made it happen, and when we needed some guidance she was right there with her years of experience to help us decide. She truly went above and beyond in advocating for us at every single turn to make sure we had the best of everything.
On the actual wedding day, Tara made sure everything was smooth sailing. She and her team were at our hotel when we were getting ready, at the venue making sure all was going ok, and accompanied us while we took photos around NYC to make sure everything was perfect. They did everything!! They kept us all calm and ready for the day. Then they made sure that the flow of the evening was exactly right.
DreamMakers is not just a cute name for her planning business, it is actually what she does! Our wedding was a dream come true. THANK YOU TARA!
The team of Dream makers was an extra insurance policy on our wedding day. Though the venue had a planner, we felt better having a day of coordinator. It turned out to be a great decision. Tara along with two of her assistants were so helpful in making sure everything went off without a hitch on our special day. They were attentive, detail oriented and so lovely to work with. I would highly recommend!

Tara and her team are fantastic, and I highly recommend their day-of-coordinator service. Tara is very organized and remembers all the details of my wedding. She also responds to e-mails very quickly which makes communications very efficient. She is experienced and is able to spot issues in my plans that I wouldn't have noticed. And because of all the things mentioned above, I felt comfortable and relaxed working with her. I knew that I didn't need to remind her or confirm with her over and over like I did with some other vendors. Hiring her team is one of my best decisions on wedding planning.
Tara is simply the best. She is incredibly responsive and experienced. She knows what she's doing and she does it well. Hiring Tara was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is professional, easy to work with, organized, and worth every penny.
Dream Makers truly lived up to not only their name - but also all of the reviews I read before my initial e-mail to Tara for my wedding on March 3rd. We had Tara and Raquel as Day of Coordinators, and it was the best decision ever! It really was more like "insurance" to our wedding - they made sure the whole day was so smooth; from getting ready to the after party. We couldn't have done it without Dream Makers, we would highly recommend them!!
We were looking for someone to take care of all of the little details on the day of our wedding so that we wouldn't have to worry about a single thing, and Tara and Raquel were everything we needed in a Day of Coordinator. Many other vendors add on services that make it more like a Month of Coordinator and of course that's reflected in the price, but Tara delivers really all you need if you can handle everything else on your own. When we met for our Marathon meeting along with the event coordinator for our venue, I knew we had made the right decision. The coordinator for the venue was unprofessional and useless, but having Tara reassured me that everything was going to be okay. She took charge and represented our interests. She helped us develop a cohesive timeline that made sense considering the space. Tara even responded to us on a Sunday when we needed advice - our venue was trying to change the pricing on us last minute! Of course I'm not recommending calling her on a weekend but just to say she's responsive :) On our wedding day I could finally relax knowing Tara and Raquel had everything under control. Tara also just has a very calming vibe about her so I think that helps! They kept us on time and arranged all of our Day of Decor as we had specified. It was definitely one of the happiest days of my life and I know that was in part because we had Dream makers!
Tara did an amazing job! She was with us as a day-of coordinator and made sure that everything went exactly according to plan. She and her assistant took all the pressure off of us so that we could enjoy our wedding. Everything ran like clockwork. Tara helped us turn our vision for our wedding into a reality. We really could not have had a better day.
Thank you Tara and team! We used Tara for "month of" coordination, and she was a huge help in getting us organized in the home stretch. I was starting to feel overwhelmed by how to organize what needed to get done in the weeks leading up, but she was able to help simplify. She helped keep us on track on the big day, and all went very smoothly.
Tara is amazing! Anytime I was worried or concerned she was always available to chat and always calmed me down right away. She was on top of every detail and really helped me find the perfect vendors for our day. The day of the wedding Tara and her team executed our vision flawlessly! I cannot recommend her enough!
I am so happy I hired Dream Makers as my day of wedding coordinators! I worked with Racquel on the day of and leading up to the wedding, who was very sweet, organized, and professional. I planned the wedding myself, but did not want to be the person in charge to field questions on the day of the wedding. Racquel was wonderful and worked with me in the months leading up to the wedding (once at the venue and several times over e-mail and one last phone call) to make sure the day went off without a hitch. No one bothered me on the day of the wedding and I know it's because of the hard work of Dream Makers!
Tara is amazing! Personally and professionally, I am so glad to have worked with Tara for my wedding! Tara was reliable, helpful, thorough and considerate leading up to my wedding and on my actual wedding day. I would 100% recommend Tara in a heartbeat. Her experience and her beautiful personality made working with her lovely. During such a stressful time, you want someone that is there to help you and make sure you have a great day, Tara made that happen for me, and she will for you!
Halfway through my planning I realized it was necessary to have a day-of-coordinator help execute all the items that were planned for the big day! I spoke with a few day-of-coordinators and ultimately chose to move forward with Dream Makers due to Tara's expertise. She clearly knew what she was doing and offered a competitive price for her services as well. I knew moving forward with her that I was going to be in good hands!
Her assistant, Jordyn, and her really helped the entire day run smoothly. As soon as I showed up to get my hair and makeup done, Jordyn showed up and was there to help assist all other vendors get ready. I honestly couldn't imagine the day without him there to ensure everything was happening at the scheduled time I had listed on my timeline. In addition, both of them were very flexible and willing to work with last minute changes.
I'd highly recommend working with Tara and her team if you are planning most of your wedding and need a team to help things fall into place the day of! Because of them, my husband and I were able to have a blast at our own wedding and spend time with our family and friends rather than managing all the little things.
Tara and her associate were instrumental to our wedding day running smoothly. They were responsive leading up to the event and acted as the main point of contact on the day-of so my husband and I could focus on enjoying the day! I can't imagine having a DIY wedding without a coordinator to help and they were exactly what we needed! We felt confident having Tara take care of all the vendor details; including set-up, break-down and everything in between. She was super easy to work with and made sure the whole day went off without a hitch. We definitely recommend them - you won't be disappointed!!
Tara was amazing from day one! I had her throughout my entire wedding planning process. She took care of scheduling all vendor appointments and helped create my wedding timeline which we know is one of the hardest parts! On the day of she was ever present and took care of every small detail imaginable. I did not have a single stress on the day of knowing she would be there to handle anything and everything! She understood my vision through and through and made sure my day was perfect and special.
I highly recommend working with Tara of Dream Makers – if you’re looking for a true expert in the industry who can offer candid advice and guidance, all while letting you design the wedding of your dreams – look no further. Having Tara take the lead coordinating with all of our vendors during the weeks leading up to our wedding was extremely helpful and by our wedding day, I was confident that all of the details and logistics were handled, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. As a testament to her great work, I can honestly say that my husband and I were able to enjoy every second of our October 2017 wedding!
Tara and her team were absolutely amazing on and before our wedding day. I don't know how our wedding day would have run as smoothly as it did without her. She was available to me leading up to the wedding and answered all my questions and then some. Tara really knows what she's doing, and definitely goes above and beyond to make your day as seamless as possible. Her assistant Raquel was with me for the ceremony, and she did a fabulous job. Everything about our day was wonderful and perfect thanks to Tara and her team! I highly recommend working with her, she's the best!
When we first met with Tara, it was clear that she’s just the kind of take-no-shit (but do it kindly) woman that comprised my bridal party, so adding another powerful woman to the mix as our day-of coordinator was a no-brainer.
Did I ever think I’d have a coordinator for my wedding? Absolutely not. I was a DIY bride, and don’t like the fussy nonsense of weddings. But 4 months before ours, our original venue (that came w/ included coordination on-site) closed. Quickly scrambling to find a place that was not booked on that same Saturday (so we could keep the full vendor team we had already assembled), we booked a restaurant buyout at Fornino in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The owner and his team are incredibly competent, and gave us the experience of a lifetime, but they’re not wedding planners. If we were going to have this harborside pizza dream fulfilled, we were going to need a set of eyes and ears for the wedding. After losing one venue, we needed an insurance policy.
Tara set up our entire venue mostly according to the detailed map I had prepared, coordinated our vendors, and took all of the DIY elements and turned them into the beautiful, expressive, personalized day I had dreamt of. She wrangled the personalities, the design elements, and the vendors, checked in with me only when she absolutely had to, and kept everyone accountable and honest. During the evening, my mom leaned in and told me what a tight ship Tara was running. And knowing my mom, who’d talked me down many a wedding planning ledge, could enjoy it and not worry meant EVERYTHING. At the end of the night she had packed up everything. We picked it all up from the venue the next day, and it was put away with care and respect - she had even stowed the copy of my dad’s speech in the corner of a box!
Tara’s work meant that my husband and I (and everyone I love) could enjoy our wedding day.
Tara and her crew have been more than amazing with helping live out my dream wedding. She is more than professional and she is also super honest with what can, needs, and will do to help you pull off the wedding of your dreams and fantasies. I have recommended Tara and the Dreammakers crew to not only my friends but to all of my coworkers. Tara made my wedding day fun and stress free and that's all I ever wanted. My sister is currently working with her and her team for her up coming wedding and my sister can't thank me enough for recommending her. Thank you Tara and the entire Dreammakers team.
So you spent months planning every detail of your wedding by yourself, why leave execution to chance? Day of Coordinator services is the best money I spent on my wedding day with the exception of the makeup artiste :-). I found out about Tara and her team on one of the wedding bee forums. I looked her up and was satisfied with the review I saw. On the day of I would with Raquel, I was beyond impressed, she provided white glove service and seemed to have a computer for a brain because she did not forget not one detail I mentioned to her. What ever I double checked her on, she had already done it. Your vision will come to life with Dream makers, provided you put in the time to write down all the details of what you want to happen, which should be a problem since you went over it in your head a million times. Take it from this picky bride, go ahead and book, you won't regret it.
Amazing! Very professional,always on time and super caring! My dj ran late missing my ceremony but these party planners remained calm and helped find a solution. They definitely help to make stressful situations run smoothly and are always thinking one step ahead.They are full of great ideas I would 100% recommend to any bride! Don't know what I would have done without them!
My bride and I were stuck. We needed to make some decisions but could not get past some initial decisions. We met with Tara and she immediately started throwing out suggestions that got us exciting and moving again. We opted for her consulting and day-of services where she made recommendations along the way and we did most of the follow ups with the vendors. It worked out perfectly. It was the best of both worlds... a bit of professional planning and a bit of DIY. My wife was not into having a wedding and I was. Now, two weeks after the weeding, my wife keeps saying how wonderful it all turned out. Whew! So grateful to Tara for her support, advice and wonderful recommendations for the venue, band, flowers, and all of the vendors that we ultimately went with. Thank you Tara and Dream Makers! We couldn't be happier.
AMAZING!!! Tara and the ladies from Dream Makers went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect!! I was so worried about how all of the vendors and transportation would come together on the day of the wedding and Dream makers made sure that it all came together perfectly! From meeting with them before the wedding, to them overseeing the ceremony, pictures in between, cocktail hour and reception, everything really was perfect!! My husband and I are thrilled that we worked with Tara !!! THANK YOU!
I hired Tara as my day of coordinator for my spring wedding at the Green Building in Brooklyn, and it was one one the best decisions I made. From our first meeting I could tell she was organized, experienced and professional. In other words, a dream to work with. The wedding day went off flawlessly thanks to her.
Her detailed spreadsheets helped keep me organized, and I was glad to hear she had worked with many of our vendors already. She also made great recommendations about things we hadn't thought of. And she listened to all my concerns and last minute emergencies, and made sure it wasn't a problem on the big day.
It's hard to relinquish control when planning such a big event, but I felt fully confident doing so with Tara. The venue looked amazing and the schedule stayed right on track. My wedding was perfect, and I have Tara to thank for making sure all the moving pieces went off without a hitch. I couldn't recommend hiring her enough.
I feel truly lucky to have had Tara by my side as my day-of coordinator for my August 29th Wedding in Manhattan! My groom and I spent a mini fortune on our wedding (don't we all)- complete with many personal elements which I brought in myself (I did my own linens, chargers, candles, escort table arrangements, you name it). I needed assurance that after spending this much, someone would be able to make my personal vision come to life, given that I am so detail-oriented. After speaking with Tara for my consultation, I knew she was the real deal! Tara was highly responsive, patient and understanding of everything I wanted. I may have texted her a hundred times throughout
the process, and she handled all of my personal inquiries like a pro! At times when I was stressed, confused or just needed a professional opinion, Tara was always honest and logical with me. She was seriously my right hand man throughout the last phase of wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, Tara was all business-she was composed, organized and kept me abreast of any progress with my venue the day-of (as per my request). She texted me pictures as I asked for them, instructed
vendors to where they needed to be, and even helped me hand out envelopes (which I can't even imagine doing since the day was such a blur for me). She kept us on time, and she was my go-to girl with lining up the bridal party, coordinating my arrival so the groom wouldn't see me etc. She did a million things for me that day! Honestly, I feel that Tara was an absolute blessing to have. I said it over and over throughout the day to my bridesmaids, mother and other vendors-I don't know if I could have done it without Tara. If you are on the fence with spending a little extra money, trust me, after all you pour in for your wedding, having a day-of coordinator puts it ALL TOGETHER for you without a hitch. My day was perfect, largely due to Tara's help. Thank you Tara!!

A fabulous Day Of Wedding Co-ordinator!!
Tara was a pleasure to work with and completely put our minds to rest that all would go smoothly on the big day. Nothing was too much trouble and Tara and her colleague Jordan were a pleasure to work with, and managed the day effortlessly.
We live in London and had an intimate wedding at The Waldorf Astoria, NYC followed by a wedding dinner at Hakassan. Tara made sure all the large and small details were taken care of, and didn't miss a beat.
We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Dream Makers.

AMAZING - I don't know what we would have done without Tara and her team! When we first met Tara, we knew she was going to be a great help because she's very knowledgeable. Leading up to the wedding day, she would send us spreadsheets to keep everything in order and make sure that there are no additional questions on the big day. On the day of our wedding, we were ALL over the place but Tara and team were true lifesavers. I'm so glad we requested her for the whole day because they were honestly worth every penny (especially when their prices were so affordable!!). I highly recommend hiring Dream Makers as your coordinators!
Tara from Dream Makers truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives. I'm a type A crazy spreadsheet lover, so I was hesitant to hand over the reins for the day to someone else, but Tara was incredible and made me feel totally at ease. She shared her expertise in the weeks preceding the wedding, was totally responsive to questions or thoughts I had, reached out with questions she had, was organized and efficient, and on the day of she worked seamlessly with our venue to make sure everything ran smoothly. So much of her work was behind the scenes, and I was blissfully unaware of any issues that may have risen, which was exactly what I was hoping for in hiring a day of coordinator!
So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and so much of that is thanks to Tara's impeccable job. She's very reasonably priced, and would have been worth twice as much. We are so grateful to her!
Tara - I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for your help in coordinating my October 1st wedding day. The day was truly magical and far exceeded my expectations. After months of meticulous planning, selecting vendors and worrying about the slightest of details, I was so happy to have you on board on the actual ‘day’ in order to orchestrate events and ensure the execution of my vision. I have to say, you did not disappoint. While you and your assistant oversaw the set-up of the ceremony and reception and coordinated with the band and florist, I was allowed to enjoy the morning getting ready with my bridesmaids and mother inside the bridal suite. At the ceremony, you helped to keep things on schedule while also providing guidance for our wedding party processional. Back at the reception, you worked with the band and staff at the Village Club to keep the evening flowing without missing any of the ‘special moments’, including the parent dances, the toasts (which you so kindly videotaped) and the cake cutting. At the end of the night, you discreetly ensured that all of our vendors received the proper tips, negotiated extra time with our photographer, and you even helped to coordinate an additional shuttle bus to make sure that all of our guests were taken home safely. To have somebody on board to take care of all these details and to actually be able to be a guest at my own wedding was a priceless experience! I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, responsiveness, discretion and positive attitude…It was truly a pleasure working with you and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to friends or family looking for help in coordinating their special day! Fondly, Nicole
Tara was amazing! I planned most of my small wedding, but don't know what I would have done without her on the day. She helped my dream of a Central Park ceremony go off without a hitch--she managed the whole thing, got rid of wandering tourists, etc.--and did a wonderful job overseeing set up at the reception. And when one of my guests had a medical emergency, she took care of it calmly and efficiently. That alone was worth the fee, but honestly she adds so much value for such great value. Hire her!
I'm so glad that I hired Tara! I spoke with four different coordinators before deciding to hire Tara as my 'month of coordinator'. She didn't try to change my ideas or go above my budget which I really liked. She also knows The W Loft so well and knows what you need to do to hold a successful wedding at such a unique space. On the weekend of the wedding, she and her assistant were both very calm under pressure and extremely dependable. She ran the rehearsal the night before which made the wedding ceremony much less stressful and actually enjoyable! She also made sure that the whole wedding ceremony and reception went smoothly and according to plan by making sure that everyone (bride, groom, our bridal party, family) stayed on schedule.
We had a very DIY wedding with many small details so I was a bit apprehensive in passing the torch to someone else, but I knew I would need help if I wanted to feel like a bride on our special day.. Tara and the Dream Makers team were awesome in making that a reality! Tara was always available and a great resource throughout the process. In such a stressful and hectic time, Tara's approachable disposition and 'can-do' attitude helped me hang-on to my sanity more than I can say. Handing over execution to Tara on the day of our wedding was seamless and I had every confidence in her handling all the remaining details as good, if not better, than I would have. During our event, Tara was great at taking the reins in working with our team of vendors (lots of moving parts) and putting out the inevitable fires that come up without alarming anyone, so that we and our guests could just enjoy the evening. Tara and her team were thorough, we were not left hanging, but Tara was very communicative and made sure everything was handled, start to finish, before she left. I can say, without a doubt, we were able to enjoy our day as much as we did because of Dream Makers..Tara is professional, warm, fun and just really great at what she does and you can tell she loves it - that enthusiasm is infectious! It was a pleasure collaborating with her and we highly recommend choosing her to work with for your next event - you will not be disappointed!
I would of never survived my mini destination wedding without Dream Makers! They were prepared, organized and calm! They helped me actually enjoy my day! They took care of everything to make my day special. I have received so many compliments on my decor and how perfect my wedding went and I owe it all to them!
Dream makers literally is a life saver! Not only are their prices a fraction of other quotes I got from other wedding planners, but having them allowed me to actually enjoy my wedding day. All my bridesmaids that have all gotten married recently were so jealous that I was able to enjoy my day stress free and that they didn't have the luxury of Tara by their side. I couldn't imagine the day without her!
Tara and the team at Dream Makers are AMAZING! Tara was our day-of coordinator and we could
not have done it without her. She went out of her way to make sure our day was completely stress-free: coordinating with all of the vendors, DJ, photographer, etc. and working alongside the venue staff to make sure our guests were comfortable & happy. Also, her knowledge & experience were extremely helpful to us - obviously we've never done this before, so it was great to have someone there to walk us through everything!
We highly recommend Dream Makers for your event - they are more than just a business - they actually care about your day as much as you do, and they want everything to be perfect!
Thank you so much, Tara & Dream Makers - you guys are THE BEST!
I am thrilled to bits that I found Tara and was able to work with her on my wedding day in June. From the moment we met, everything felt so seamless, easy and under control. She had so much helpful advice and experience that I always felt confident she had our big day totally under control. On the day, Tara and her team delivered above and beyond in running everything, getting all the details just right and coordinating lots of moving parts. Delivered with the biggest smile throughout our wedding day, which made it extra special. I thoroughly recommend Tara and her team - top marks!
Tara was our day of wedding planner and was an absolute godsend. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is organized, calm, responsive, deferential but offers great suggestions, and is just the best. I can't imagine how frazzled we would've been without her. Worth every penny.
I am so happy that we choose Dream Makers NY as our day-of-coordinator. Tara is amazing! She helped me and my now-husband create the wedding of our dreams (just a few days ago!). We had already done a significant amount of planning (all the planning was done 50/50, yay for equality in relationships!) before contacting her, including booking vendors, deciding on decorations/theme, etc, and just needed someone to handle the nitty-gritty stuff on the day of. She was fantastic! She never tried to up-sell me on anything and went way above and beyond. She was familiar with our venue (The W Loft), and was quick to point out things that we wouldn't have thought of without her given her knowledge of the venue's quirks even before we booked her. The weeks leading up to the wedding, she was responsive, respectful, professional, and so helpful -- providing suggestions for additional help we may need, help with creating timeline, sending me deals she found online, all that stuff. After our first official meeting at our venue, I felt confident trusting her with our vision of our wedding. On the day of the wedding (which was such a blissful blur!), she was there early to set up the furniture and decor. Everything was set up perfectly! My husband (who was also helping to set up in the morning while I was getting ready) says that he saw Tara handle every detail like a boss, and comments fondly about how her assistant painstakingly arranged flowers in our lanterns and how they tied the twine around our programs *just so*. She managed our parents and us (along with our nerves! haha) without any issues, and then stayed later than she needed to in order to help coordinate the clean-up. She also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. I can not say enough wonderful things about Tara and her assistant. We could not have gotten through this hectic process without her!
Tara,
Thank you so much for helping us realize our vision for our celebration. We appreciate your flexibility and calm demeanor during your interaction with all service providers for our party.
Your leadership coupled with your ability to interpret a vision into a design layout and atmosphere we desired was a major contributor to a special and memorable evening for us.
“You can relinquish the stress & maintain the control.”
Before I met Tara, I had probably met close to 10 day of coordinators. I'm a very organized and detailed person (Type A) and I had planned everything about my wedding to the tee. Therefore, it was imperative that I found someone that I could entrust to execute my vision.Within the first few minutes of meeting Tara, I knew I wanted to hire her, not only because of her professional demeanor and "make it happen" attitude but, above all, we clicked and we had the same mindset. During the planning process, Tara was a great resource whenever I had questions.
She was always available to me via phone, email and text, and her responses were always prompt.
No question was ever too small or silly to ask.
On the day of my wedding, Tara did not disappoint. She was organized, handled the vendors and helped my Maitre’d execute the day flawlessly.
I highly recommend Tara. She is professional, personable, organized and very knowledgeable about
weddings. Hire Tara and you will not be disappointed. Your day will be flawless.

Awful experience. Tara was dishonest and very rude to work with. Things were fine until we questioned and documented mistakes that she made. When questioned she resorted to bashing me or lied about sending items. We actually have had to get a lawyer involved to try to recoup the money that she promised to refund.
Before I met Tara, I had probably met close to 10 day of coordinators. I'm a very organized and detailed person (Type A) and I had planned everything about my wedding to the tee. Therefore, it was imperative that I found someone that I could entrust to execute my vision.
Within the first few minutes of meeting Tara, I knew I wanted to hire her, not only because of her professional demeanor and "make it happen" attitude but, above all, we clicked and we had the same mindset. During the planning process, Tara was a great resource whenever I had questions. She was always available to me via phone, email and text, and her responses were always prompt. No question was ever too small or silly to ask.
On the day of my wedding, Tara did not disappoint. She was organized, handled the vendors and helped my Maitre’d execute the day flawlessly.
I highly recommend Tara. She is professional, personable, organized and very knowledgeable about weddings. Hire Tara and you will not be disappointed. Your day will be flawless.
Tara and her team were a huge help on our wedding day and in the weeks prior. Tara was professional and knowledgable and reliable. We trusted her completely with the details to free us up to enjoy the day. Highly recommend!
I feel truly lucky to have had Tara by my side as my day-of coordinator for my August 29th Wedding in Manhattan! My groom and I spent a mini fortune on our wedding (don't we all)- complete with many personal elements which I brought in myself (I did my own linens, chargers, candles, escort table arrangements, you name it). I needed assurance that after spending this much, someone would be able to make my personal vision come to life, given that I am so detail-oriented. After speaking with Tara for my consultation, I knew she was the real deal! Tara was highly responsive, patient and understanding of everything I wanted. I may have texted her a hundred times throughout the process, and she handled all of my personal inquiries like a pro! At times when I was stressed, confused or just needed a professional opinion, Tara was always honest and logical with me. She was seriously my right hand man throughout the last phase of wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, Tara was all business-she was composed, organized and kept me abreast of any progress with my venue the day-of (as per my request). She texted me pictures as I asked for them, instructed vendors to where they needed to be, and even helped me hand out envelopes (which I can't even imagine doing since the day was such a blur for me). She kept us on time, and she was my go-to girl with lining up the bridal party, coordinating my arrival so the groom wouldn't see me etc. She did a million things for me that day! Honestly, I feel that Tara was an absolute blessing to have. I said it over and over throughout the day to my bridesmaids, mother and other vendors-I don't know if I could have done it without Tara. If you are on the fence with spending a little extra money, trust me, after all you pour in for your wedding, having a day-of coordinator puts it ALL TOGETHER for you without a hitch. My day was perfect, largely due to Tara's help. Thank you Tara!!
We had the pleasure of working with Tara creating our custom invitations and Table seating board. Both came out beautiful. Tara went out of her way to make sure everything was done on time with our last minute notice. The invitation quality was perfect especially with the added burlap bow to go with our country themed wedding. The table seating board in lieu of table place cards was so beautiful, clear and the perfect size. She was prompt with responses and very flexible to accommodate all of our needs. I highly recommend using dream makers for party planning. Nothing but the best!
