Down To I Do- Weddings + Events

was not the right fit. She was not responsive at all during their contracted 1 month, and she didn't even show for the dress rehearsal or wedding! She sent two people who were not informed of ANYTHING the bride and groom needed. Use any other company and save your money.

up with multiple messages to elicit a response, days later. Despite repeated requests, we did not receive an initial draft of the day-of timeline, one of Down to I Do’s primary deliverables, until less than 2 weeks before the wedding. This caused delays to planning and coordination with other vendors. Tamara was not in attendance at either our rehearsal or wedding. She sent an alternative POC with whom we had never had any contact to lead both occasions, and we had never been informed upon signing the contract or leading up to the wedding that it was a possibility she, as owner and lead planner with whom we had communicated with exclusively, would not attend and/or would send a substitute except due to emergency. The venue manager was also not informed that she would be absent until the day of the wedding. Per Tamara’s staff, she was attending another rehearsal during our rehearsal, and another event the day of our wedding. She stated that an email was sent to us in her portal to inform us of such change, but the portal shows that the message was never delivered. Despite the easy availability of multiple other communication channels which had been used throughout the planning process (e.g. text, phone, email), she did not follow up to ensure we were aware of such an important change, 3 days before the wedding. The girls she sent to the wedding in her place were nice and assisted with setup and breakdown. Though they were nice, it was clear they did not have the same level of experience leading weddings as we would have expected from Tamara. At multiple points throughout the wedding, the lead seemed overwhelmed, uncertain, and was intermittently absent. Tamara’s consistent delays in communication, or lack thereof entirely, caused significant stress and frustration. Her lack of accountability in addressing her absence at both the rehearsal and wedding was unprofessional and unacceptable. Tamara let us down on one of the most important occasions of our life, and we would have been better off planning everything independently.

ption. Down to I Do is who I highly recommend if you are needing wedding day coordinators
