DM WEDDINGS

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!

g 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

s, 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!

nd 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.

n 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!

n my decor and how perfect my wedding went and I owe it all to them!

y 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!

rapher, 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!

dent 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!

een without her. Worth every penny.

nning 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!

interpret a vision into a design layout and atmosphere we desired was a major contributor to a special and memorable evening for us.

e, 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. Antoinette Kemp Campbell 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!! Kristina Casaletto-Ohring

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!
