Just want to give a shout out to Tanya and her crew. She was so accommodating through the entire process...from planning right up to the reception. I just sent pictures of ideas ...
and she followed up with options and customized it to our liking. She helped coordinate our stay, wedding location on Jekyll, reception dinner, music, flowers, officiant, pictures and more...had references for anything I needed. It made it relaxing and enjoyable. I can't say enough positive things...she was wonderful!!

or Tanya was very patient with our bridal party and family drama. She handled quietly and professionally everything without stressing the bride at all. Because of her, my friend was relaxed and truly enjoying her day—and that says everything. I would recommend Tanya to anyone without hesitation.

On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly and stress-free because Tanya was always one step ahead. She kept us calm, handled vendors seamlessly, and solved issues before we even knew they existed. Her professionalism, kindness, and eye for detail made such a difference.

I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without Tanya. I was planning the wedding myself and quickly realized how stressful and overwhelming it was. Tanya made everything feel ...
manageable. She checked in regularly, reminded me of things I completely forgot about, and coordinated with my vendors so I didn’t have to stress. On the wedding day, she arrived with her assistance. They set everything up beautifully. Our arbor and aisle décor were absolutely stunning — exactly what I pictured but even better. Tanya was calm , friendly and very professional during the entire time, which made me feel calmer too. . If you want someone who truly cares and makes your day run smoothly, she’s the one. Highly recommend!

o, give me plenty of options, answered 5 months worth of questions, and was quick to respond to any text/calls. She made sure our wedding was exactly how we wanted it to be. It was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better time. The photographer Bridgette was amazing & made us all feel comfortable. She was funny & adventures. Highly recommend! 100 out of 10!

Tanya was AMAZING!! I could not have done anything without her. My husband and I were planning a destination wedding on Jekyll Island while living in TN. We were unfamiliar with th...
e area so we needed someone who could do it all for us. Tanya was that person! She helped with everything and welcomed all the little items and touches I wanted to incorporate. We wanted our ceremony on the beach and our reception somewhere we could provide our own alcohol. She found the Great Dunes Pavilion and it was perfect.
The planning process was so smooth. She had spreadsheets, multiple options for additional vendors, questions that took care of all the details I would have forgotten about. She also came with so much that other planners do not come with (decor, photographer, DJ, officiant, and more). She was so much more than my wedding planner. She became my friend and even kept her cool when my brother showed up 30 minutes late to the wedding!!! My friends and family complimented her throughout the entire event on how smoothly everything ran and how beautiful the ceremony and reception were. It was a truly amazing day that went by way too fast.
If you need a wedding planner or want a destination wedding, hire Tanya and her team!!! You will thank me and here later, I promise!!

My overall experience with the entire team was wonderful. They made the whole planning process so much less stressful , handled all craziness with professionalism and I loved that ...
they had price and time options that fit within our budget. They ask so many questions I would have never thought of, and I'm glad they did. Everything was beautiful, just like we pictured it. I HIGHLY recommend hiring this team, you will not regret it!

Tanya was kind, reliable, creative, accessible, and simply wonderful to work with. Tanya took a chance on us and helped plan a funeral service in an outdoor setting (instead of a ...
wedding). I share this to prove that she isn't afraid of a challenge, and is willing to think outside the box for the sake of her clients and their needs. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking to plan an outdoor event in the SSI area. She and her team were punctual, clear communicators, and available at every step of the planning process. I agree with other reviews that no amount of stars can really communicate how wonderful she was to work with! Highly recommend!
