Tamara is simply the best. We hired her for both wedding planning and florals for our three-day wedding weekend at IslandWood on Bainbridge Island in August 2025, with more than 25...
0 guests, and she was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish.
Our wedding weekend was a big, complicated undertaking with a lot of moving pieces, made even more challenging by the fact that we live in Los Angeles and were planning a wedding in Washington. Tamara didn’t miss a beat. She is incredibly organized, has amazing attention to detail, and somehow always seemed to know what needed to happen before we even realized it. Most importantly, she completely understood our vision. She took all of our ideas, even the complicated and slightly unconventional ones, and helped turn them into a wedding weekend that felt completely like us.
But what really sets Tamara apart is that she is just so much fun to be around. She made the planning process feel easy, exciting, and genuinely fun, which is no small feat when you are planning a three-day wedding for 250+ people. We actually looked forward to our meetings with her!
She also handled the things we absolutely did not want to handle ourselves. When difficult conversations needed to happen with vendors, Tamara handled them for us with incredible grace and professionalism. She always had our backs and made us feel like someone was truly in our corner.
And then there was her team. They were incredible and went above and beyond all weekend to make everything feel special. A huge shoutout to Annie, who was there with us on the wedding day and jumped in to tackle every little issue that popped up so we didn't have to. She was an absolute lifesaver.
Tamara is not only an incredibly talented wedding planner, but she is also an incredible human. She brought so much calm, creativity, organization, and fun to the entire experience, and we honestly cannot imagine having done our wedding weekend without her. If you are lucky enough to work with Tamara, you are in the best possible hands. We could not recommend her more!
Working with Tamara was an absolute dream! She made the entire planning process feel effortless, especially when it came to choosing and coordinating with vendors. We had a few uni...
que ideas we wanted to bring to life, and she was completely on board with everything—supportive, flexible, and full of great suggestions to make our day truly special. Thanks to her organization and positive energy, the day was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Tamara to anyone looking for a wedding planner who is kind, creative, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect.
Tamara is the absolute best, no other way to say it!!! Tamara (and her team) are the perfect planner for your dream wedding and brought our wildly imaginative ideas and detailed vi...
sion to life.
We were fortunate to have worked with Tamara and her team for our wedding 3 years ago and she was the single best decision that we made for our stress levels. She is a trusted advisor in your corner as you begin the journey to plan a wedding all the way through to the big day itself! The things that stand out about Tamara are her kindness, expertise, mastery of her craft, and on top of all of that her extraordinary positivity and warmth. Tamara would take direction and execute on every detail of the vision that we had, handled every question or worry we had with ease and professionalism, she truly is the best at what she does! She was exceedingly kind, patient, and understanding as we struggled at times to navigate and make the most basic of decisions as EVERY wedding couple does when it is their first time trying to do all this. Not only did Tamara put our minds at ease at all times, she truly guided us through every aspect of wedding planning and took care of so many details and tasks, nothing was too big or too small for her to take on or handle. We could not have been in better hands. If she was on it, it was as good as done! Her ability to catch any message, passing thought, question, or request is second to none! Above all, she went the extra mile to make our wedding a beautiful success - both in the leadup and the day of - directing vendors and managing stressful last minute pivots and day of changes when we had rain in our forecast, all the while coordinating everything with a smile on her face.
We only have Tamara to thank for the best wedding and day of our lives - that we will look back on for the rest of our lives knowing it was planned and executed to absolute perfection. A million thanks for everything!
I have only positive things to say about having Annie as our wedding coordinator. After each planning meeting we had, we felt less concerned about the details. She kept us on tra...
ck throughout the entire process. She had great suggestions along the way. Annie communicated with all of our vendors and the venue owner for us, who all said she was one of the best coordinators they had ever worked with! On the wedding day, Annie kept track of everything for us; we had a relaxing and enjoyable day considering the stress we could have been feeling. By the time we returned to the reception hall after the send off, Annie had everything packed up for us. This was a welcome surprise after a big day. We will definitely hire Annie again when we plan our next wedding!
The single best decision we made when planning our wedding. Annie thank you so much for making all our dreams come true. You took every single note and executed it perfectly. Our d...
ay was magical and I’ll forever be grateful!
Annie from Tamara Nicole was my day of wedding coordinator! She was incredible, and her whole team worked so hard to help plan and organize my wedding. I was so amazed at the detai...
l Annie had, creativity she offered, and expertise she shared. My wedding was all I dreamed, and I’m so happy with how this team made it happen! Having a “day of event coordinator” was SO needed! I recommend it to everyone (specifically Tamara Nicole)!
Jenna was our planner for our wedding in July 2024. She is absolutely incredible at what she does and we have nothing but amazing things to say about her! We had a multi-cultural w...
edding with two nights worth of planning, and Jenna helped with everything. We had selected a venue before connecting with Jenna as a planner and we opted for the “Partial Planning Plus” package. This package worked great for us as Jenna worked with us for many months before the wedding to understood our vision and find the best vendors that fit our style. We also appreciated how since Jenna is part of the SBTN team, she is able to draw from the experience of the entire team for finding the perfect vendors. She helped us find our florist, photographer, videographer, and rental providers.
During the planning phase, Jenna provided us with wedding design inspirations with different style and budget options. Jenna is very organized and we met several times both in-person and through phone call. We also coordinated through Aisle Planner which had very helpful tools for table layout, budget, and a master wedding checklist. Jenna also had great communication with our vendors, especially as our wedding date got closer.
On the day of the wedding, Jenna and her assistant handled the setup, keeping everything to schedule, guest management, vendor coordination, and any last minute surprises! We felt she did this flawlessly and kept us stress-free. Our wedding weekend was even more beautiful than we could have imagined and we couldn’t have asked for more. Our guests had so many great things to say about her and the SBTN team. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or the SBTN team as a whole.
We celebrated our multi-cultural Indian/Asian wedding in August 2024 and hired Simply by Tamara Nicole for florals for our two day event. From the beginning, Tamara was very commun...
icative, from the initial consultation call through the days of the events. We had a budget that we wanted to stick to and Tamara created proposals and multiple revisions to these proposals, while also providing us with different options to make sure we were within our budget. We also had multiple virtual meetings with her and an in-person walk through of the venues prior to the event. Tamara and her team were able to turn our vision into reality and the result was better than we could have imagined. We would recommend her to any of our friends looking for florals.
We had a multi culture, multi day wedding back in August. We worked with Tamara on floral design and she absolutely nailed it. Her creativity and optimism shined through the entir...
e process. She was so patient and thorough while we went through the design and quote process, making sure our vision is still coming through while respecting our budget. We couldn’t be more happy with the final result, it exceeded beyond our expectations. Our guests also made many complements on beautiful the floral arrangements were. Highly recommend Tamara and her team!
If I could give 1000 stars, I would! Tamara is SIMPLY the best!! We hired Tamara and her team for full wedding design and planning for our 2024 wedding. I knew that I wanted an ama...
zing wedding but had no idea where to start...luckily, Tamara was there every step of the way. In terms of design, she was able to help me form a vision and bring it to life in a way that was even better than I imagined!! I cried when I saw the final florals for our wedding!! Outside of her impeccable taste, Tamara and her team are a delight to work with. They communicated directly with many of our vendors and kept everything organized, allowing me and my partner to actually enjoy wedding planning! In fact, we miss it and working with Tamara!! On the weekend of my wedding, Tamara and her team dealt with everything and I was fully able to relax and enjoy the event. They set up the ceremony, coordinated vendors and even cleaned up! Because of their help, my wedding was probably the best weekend of my life :') In addition to being AMAZING at design and florals, Tamara is also very business-savvy. She has great connections in the industry, connected us with the most talented people AND helped us get the best deals with vendors, constantly trying to help us save money so that we could get the biggest bang for our buck! Looking back on it, hiring Tamara was the best decision I made for my wedding. I couldn't have done it any other way and I 10000% recommend Tamara and her team for your wedding. Your celebration will be amazing AND you will come away with a friend for life <3
I had the pleasure of working with Jenna as a wedding vendor, and I can't say enough about her exceptional professionalism and incredible organizational skills. From the initial pl...
anning stages to the final execution, Jenna's attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident every step of the way.
Jenna's ability to anticipate needs and address potential issues before they arose made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She coordinated every aspect of the event with precision, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and on schedule. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor created a wonderful atmosphere for both the couple and the vendors.
What truly sets Jenna apart is her genuine passion for what she does. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every wedding is a unique and unforgettable experience. Her creativity, dedication, and unwavering support make her an invaluable asset to any wedding team.
I highly recommend Jenna to anyone in need of a top-notch wedding planner/coordinator. Working with her was an absolute delight, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with her again in the future!
Thank you, Jenna, for making every moment special and for your outstanding professionalism.
Tamara is an absolute delight to work with!! Aditya and I got married in an Indian style wedding, and Tamara made our wedding an absolute fairytale with her gorgeous choice of flow...
ers, beautiful Mandap, stunning garlands and every flower at our wedding was picked and styled with absolute love and care. I highly highly recommend Tamara, and her team. Her team started building our Mandap at 6am and everything was just perfect and on time. She went above and beyond to make sure everything is just perfect. I am truly grateful to you, Tamara!!
We really enjoyed working with Alexa from Simply by Tamara Nicole. She went above and beyond to work with us early on and make sure all our questions were answered and concerns add...
ressed. On our wedding day, Alexa was incredibly attentive, making sure we were well fed (thank you!) and keeping us on schedule. We couldn't have had such a beautiful and smooth day without Alexa's help and support!
There is no other choice! Tamara is an all knowing wedding planned genius that removes all worry and stress when it comes to planning your big day. She made everything smooth, sea...
mless, stress free and covered every detail we never would have even thought about. Anyone would be SO lucky to have her on your side!
Elle and the entire SBTN team were absolutely lovely to work with for my July wedding at Crystal Mountain. Elle was incredibly helpful with choosing vendors, putting together the f...
ull wedding timeline, and handling everything on the wedding day. I had an absolute blast and was able to relax and trust that my vision would be executed. Elle and all of my vendors worked so well together to make that happen.
We went with SBTN for their day-of-coordination and I cannot say enough amazing things about Nicole and her team! The organization and communication leading up to the wedding day w...
as so helpful and exactly what this indecisive, procrastination prone, sometimes too-chill bride needed! Nicole had so many last minute little tricks that helped me throughout the day, and I felt at ease knowing she was there to move things along. Truly could not have done it without her. THANK YOU NICOLE!!!!
Simply by Tamara Nicole was one of the best companies to go through for our wedding. We had Alexa plan our wedding and she was so much fun to work with. She was able to pull all of...
our thoughts together into our perfect day. We did not have to worry about one thing throughout our wedding and the planning process. We highly recommend this team to plan your dream wedding!
Working with Jenna and the SBTN team was an amazing experience. Jenna very quickly became my “bridal bestie” and by working with her through this wedding planning process, I gained...
a wonderful friendship that has lasted beyond the wedding day. From the initial planning meetings, to answering my late night texts and questions, to rentals appointments and more, Jenna worked hard to ensure that every little detail was executed perfectly and truly helped bring my vision to life, even down to the last minute details and changes.
Tamara did an incredible job on our florals and transformed our venue into the coastal garden party of my dreams. I appreciated her ability to offer various ideas or solutions that worked within our budget but still maintain the overall vision we had in mind. It’s an added bonus having your florist also be an experienced wedding planner because she has another level of understanding and expertise.
As a very detail oriented bride, it felt amazing to know that I could fully trust my planner, her assistant, and florist on our wedding day and know that everything would be taken care of without having to worry about a thing. Working with the SBTN team was one of the best decisions we could have made when it came to planning our wedding! The level of care they have for their couples is unmatched.
I worked with Simply by Tamara Nicole for my 2022 wedding and it was one of the best decisions I made. Tamara supported me with design and florals for my June wedding. The result ...
was a show stopper! Her work truly made our wedding magical and memorable. I worked directly with Tamara and she is so wonderful to collaborate with. She was responsive and enthusiastic every step of the way. We maintained regular email communication to share ideas and met face to face a couple of times to review design ideas and shop for flowers.
The day of my wedding was beyond even what I had dreamed up! Her and her team were on time and executed beautifully. On top of that everyone was so friendly and excited for us.
I’ll always be proud of our wedding feature in Seattle Bride Magazine! So wonderful to have SBTN’s work showcased.
I cannot recommend Tamara and her team enough. Looking forward to future opportunities to work together again on other events!
Working with Simply by Tamara Nicole was an invaluable experience! As a Groom who is not the best when it comes to planning, Simply by Tamara Nicole helped make my wedding the gre...
atest day of my life. The process was collaborative, efficient, and more importantly fun! I never thought I would be interested in any of the planning aspects, but Jenna created a stress free environment that allowed me to ask questions and provide feedback without any pressure or judgement. The team at Simply by Tamara Nicole was an intricate part of what made our wedding day so special and I would recommend them to future couples without hesitation!
SBTN are one of the best. If you are looking for genuine, sweet, humble, well organized and postive planners, they are the ones. We couldn’t be more thankful to them for all the e...
fforts they took to make our big day so beautiful. Our wedding planner, Alexa, is the sweetest human being you will come across. She helped us plan through each and every step and explained all details well throughout the whole wedding planning process. She was very patient and listens to every detail that a couple wants then accordingly provides the best ideas to amke your dreams a reality. She’s very down to earth and we had a great time planning our wedding with her. Special shout out to Nicole for being with us during last few planning phases and the wedding day itself. She is very articulate, organized, and very kind. She helped us get through the wedding day with ease without any pressures during our planners materinty leave.
Both Alexa and Nicole made sure to incorporate all of the small details we had in mind and made our wedding day go super smoothly.
One thing I must say is that the whole team of SBTN is very caring and they are best at what they do “Deliver with care and love”.
I highly recommend using SBTN for a beautiful and hastle free wedding planning process.
Tamara and her team are the best in the business to work with! Our planner, Alexa, made the entire planning process a breeze. I never had to stress about anything and she always ha...
d super cute thoughtful touches that made the day extra special. Ours was a mixed Indian/American wedding so she took on the challenge and did a fantastic job helping us incorporate the cultural and religious aspects we wanted. I would refer them in a heartbeat for anyone needing wedding planning help!
Tamara is simply one of the best. Due to Covid, I worked with Tamara over the course of two years through planning, postponing, figuring out safety measures, design, etc. Tamara al...
ways has a positive attitude and is calm through the storm. I knew I never had to worry about anything throughout the course of wedding planning and on my wedding day because she had it under control. When it came to my wedding day, Tamara and team worked round the clock to create my dream wedding space and florals, including building a floral archway. Tamara did the perfect job of executing and understanding my vision, and had connections to all other vendors needed to make it all come to life. I consider Tamara a friend, and continue to find ways to keep her in my life! She has provided florals for baby showers, given venue advice, and will soon be planning my sister's wedding! As a family, we could not ask for a better person to work side by side with us for all of life's exciting and most important times. -Maddy
Jenna is an absolute angel!! She is professional, so talented, organized, poised, and has such positive and fun energy. No matter how many little things I might have dropped the ba...
ll on as a bride, she had my back with a smile on her face and a creative idea to make things happen. Our day ran truly PERFECTLY and that was all made possible by her. Jenna and the STN team are incredibly experienced and it shows through the countless number of weddings they so flawlessy plan with their brides. Cannot recommend Jenna, Tamara, and their team enough!
Tamara is seriously superwoman. Not only is she one of the sweetest people we've ever met, she always has a thousand different balls in the air and still manages to keep a calm, co...
llected, and positive attitude at all times. She worked with us for nearly a year and a half planning all aspects of our wedding and made us feel supported and seen throughout. She had a great balance of giving us options and making sure we felt in control of all aspects of the planning process, but she was also willing to give her opinions and help make decisions when we were feeling decision fatigue by the end of the process. On the wedding day, Tamara seamlessly pulled off all details - if there were any issues on the day of we had no idea because Tamara handled it flawlessly and allowed us to fully enjoy our day with no stress. Several members of the wedding party commented on how incredible Tamara was to work with and how she made the whole day go so smoothly. And last but certainly not least, Tamara did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job as our florist. She took my vision and made it come to life in a more beautiful way than I ever imagined! She has a "sky's the limit" attitude and will go to any length to make things happen for you - like the amazing floral installation she pulled off with a super short window to set up at our venue. Flowers were super important to me and I'm so glad I trusted Tamara to make it all happen. We got SO many comments from guests on how much they loved the florals, and Tamara truly made them a focal point of the day like I had hoped. Would 100% recommend Tamara to other couples!
SBTN was absolutely amazing to work with!!! We had the pleasure of having Nicole as our wedding coordinator and she completely crushed it. I truly cannot say enough amazing things ...
about this group of ladies and how professional, efficient, and incredibly wonderful SBTN was to work with. Nicole was able to manage our wedding day with complete ease which made it so that I could completely disconnect and ENJOY my wedding with zero worries. She executed all my thoughts and ideas beautifully. I would HIGHLY recommend SBTN to any bride in the Seattle market!! Truly one of the best vendor decisions we made!
Five stars aren't enough for the beautiful work Tamara does. After doing extensive research and interviewing a dozen wedding planners, we decided to go with Tamara because she was ...
fun, kind, and sounded like she knew what she was doing. Little did we know at the time just how amazing she would be.
Tamara is a true professional who honestly feels like family to us now. Saying she went above and beyond doesn't even begin to cover it. She was attentive, caring, and organized throughout the entire planning process and created a friendly space so we immediately felt we could share our wedding dreams and anxieties with her. Creatively, she was the perfect balance of letting us take the the lead when we had an idea and had amazing recommendations when we didn't know what we wanted.
I genuinely do not know when this woman sleeps because she works tirelessly to bring you your dream wedding. Our wedding was a logistical nightmare and Tamara and her team handled absolutely everything to make sure it ran smoothly. I know everyone says their wedding day was the best day of their life, but ours truly was and it is 1000000% because of Tamara's amazing work. We went with her for full planning and had her do our flowers as well and it was the best decision ever.
I seriously can't say enough good things. Not to be dramatic or anything but I would literally trust Tamara with my life lol. If you're deciding between Tamara and another planner, save yourself the trouble and just go with Tamara. You won't regret it.
THANK YOU TAMARA WE LOVE YOU
Simply the BEST!!! Tamara and her team at SBTN are absolutely AMAZING at everything they do. From start to finish, Tamara guided us through the wedding planning process making the...
whole experience beyond enjoyable. Tamara Nicole is literal SUNSHINE, one of the nicest, kindest, most thoughtful, creative and talented people we have ever met! To work with her was a DREAM and we walked away from our wedding feeling so thankful Tamara and the SBTN team came into our lives to help us create the most beautiful wedding memories.
We booked our venue in July 2021 (The Admiral's House) for an October 16th 2021 wedding and knew we needed help from the best to pull off a wedding in such a short planning period. From day one Tamara was so positive and enthusiastic, really listening to how we wanted our big day to unfold. She hit the ground running with planning and was always available via email, text or phone call. She always made me feel super supported during such a stressful time and provided me with awesome ideas, vendors, and money saving tips! I had a very specific vision for a "shot escort wall" which Tamara made come to life by designing, building and collaborating with the calligrapher/florist/caterer to create the most beautiful end product. Tamara ensured that every detail of our day felt super personalized and intentional, every bride's dream!
On the day of the wedding Tamara and her team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. I never once was stressed about any of the wedding day details or concerned about the food, drink, music, or design of the space. Tamara and the team had every single detail covered! Tamara even went above and beyond the morning of the wedding by coming to our hotel suite to help stylize some photos of the invitation/rings/flowers/etc. Her passion for what she does is so apparent in every single thing she did for us as the bride and groom!
Thank you Tamara and STBN team for helping us create such beautiful lasting memories. Our wedding day was beyond anything we could have ever imagined and we owe it all to you!
Tamara and Jenna were my dream team!! Tamara made my floral dreams come to life and Jenna executed allllll the planning flawlessly. They made my wedding SO stress free and perfect....
Could not have done it without them! You guys truly are the best.
Tamara and Nicole gave my husband and I beyond our dream wedding and were our wedding dream team!!! We had to re-schedule our original wedding due to covid, and Tamara + Nicole wer...
e not only incredibly understanding with rescheduling, but gave us so much love and support in the process! Not only are these two incredibly talented at what they do, but they are incredible humans!!
We hired Tamara for florals and Nicole from planning/ design and they were incredible. I have never been big into planning anything, but they made the whole plan process fun, exciting, dynamic, and detail oriented to bring out my husband and our personalities and unique tastes.
The florals that Tamara designed were breath taking and phenomenal. Our venue has an arch that over looks the lake and her team spent all day in the > 100 Degree heat decorating the arch and it looked spectacular!!! She went above and beyond with details (including placing a single yellow rose on the inside of my bouquet to honor my grandpa). I have never been super into flowers but had one of the best brainstorming happy hours (~ 4 hours) of throwing ideas back and forth to really make our design and event special. I remember leaving our meeting feeling super inspired and pumped to finish out planning our big day!
Nicole flawlessly helped us design the event dealing with multiple personnel changes with our venue and the inconsistencies that came with these personnel changes. She kept us on track and always had our backs and help strong for Sean and my ideas and wishes to occur. She was incredibly organized and always available in moments were we needed clarification or with communication challenges with out venue. Nicole has a talent of reading when either of us were feeling overwhelmed and knew instantly in the moment how to take on the stress for us or how to manage challenges. On our wedding day, she was always there when needed and went above and beyond to make sure we were able to enjoy every minutes of our wedding. She is amazing!
Nicole and Tamara both went above and beyond in a moment of panic two days before our wedding when my dress had a massive grease stain on the front of it. Together, with our photographer (highly recommend having your vendors stay in the same air bnb esp if they are all friends :) ) salvaged my dress and removed the stain! They all saved the day!!!
Our friends and family have all given rave reviews stating that this was one of the best/ most organized weddings they have ever attended and my husband and I left feeling that the day was beyond anything we could have ever imagined. Tamara and Nicole are our wedding dream team!!
Working with Tamara was an absolute pleasure!
Tamara and the SBTN team helped flower our big day, but more than that her infectious energy and can-do attitude brought us so much j...
oy and peace of mind leading up to the wedding.
She took our venue aesthetic to a whole new level with her amazing floral skills! Our jaws dropped when we saw the venue and everyone at our wedding was super impressed with the florals and decor. Not just that - our wedding flowers were put to good use after the event and brought joy to so many people!
Whether it be for wedding planning services or for florals and decor, having Tamara in your wedding team will be the best decision you make :)
We are very fortunate to have Claire as our wedding planner. She is extremely patient, organized and calm, all the qualities you need for someone to handle stressful situations. We...
had a small wedding and very glad we hired a planner to handle the details for the day of wedding. For any brides out there, I highly recommend Claire and Simply by Tamara Nicole!
I can't recommend Tamara and her team enough. From the beginning, my (now) husband and I made it pretty clear we're not the event planning types - we had a very limited vision for ...
what we wanted and no idea how to accomplish it. But Tamara was able to get to know us and help us define our vision incredibly quickly. Every meeting I went into with Tamara I was worried that we were behind, and, without exception, every time I left feeling totally confident we were on track and everything was going to be perfect. And good lord was it perfect. She was able to create a PNW bohemian chic paradise for our wedding. Months later I am STILL getting compliments about the flowers and venue (which Tamara designed and pointed us to, respectively). Not only did she make our wedding indescribably beautiful, she made planning it fun. And, the best part - we actually got to enjoy our wedding weekend because we had so much confidence that she had everything under control. Tamara is a rare find - caring and creative, but uber-organized and pragmatic. So many people I spoke with said they were relieved their wedding was over. My husband and I couldn't feel more differently. Tamara made that weekend so special we'd relive it every single day if we could. Nothing but fond memories and thankfulness we made the decision to work with her.
It took me a while to start this review because I just didn’t know what to say. It’s really hard to explain the feeling of overwhelming appreciation. Hiring Tamara and Nicole was t...
he best decision I made during my entire wedding process. They were absolutely amazing! Every step of the way they helped me make decisions, helped find items I needed, suggested creative ideas, and simply were so genuine. Not only their professionalism and commitment I commend but their attention to detail! This is exactly what you need as a wedding planner. They help create something that is “you” and organized it every step of the way.
Since Tamara already had a wedding she was still able to help with styling and Nicole was my planner and day of coordinator. She was the one that pushed everything forward and helped me get things done. She promptly responded to all my texts/emails/phone calls. Coordinated picking up stuff for me and ordering. And I can honestly say with the utmost gratitude that Nicole made our wedding day the best possible it could have been. Everything transitioned super smoothly. She made sure to check in with us to see if we needed anything and had such positive energy. It reflected in everything and made our day that much more special. We enjoyed our day stress free because of Nicole.
I highly recommend Simply By Tamara Nicole and I promise you that you will not be disappointed. You’ll then understand this overwhelming feeling of appreciation!
I would highly recommend SBTN! We LOVED working with Nicole! She was literally my lifesaver for our wedding day and for the wedding process. She was quick to respond to emails, h...
andled things with my vendors (even ones that kind of became intense towards the wedding day), set everything up as I had planned, cleaned & packed up all of our items, and kept our entire day running smoothly. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. I'm very Type A so he organization and timelines were a positive thing in my book. Girlfriend also stays super calm throughout the day, which is much needed for a stressed out bride, and is fun to talk to. As weird as it sounds, she's so personable that if I lived in WA, I'd want to be friends with her. Basically, if you are looking for a wedding coordinator and stumble upon these ladies, there's no need to look further. Also, I greatly appreciated seeing the insta pics they took. I had no idea & it was great to wake up the next day to see things I didn't get to get a close look at. Thanks ladies!
Elle was our month-of coordinator and was a lifesaver! Her prep work leading up to the wedding helped me to feel prepared (and be prepared!) and calmed my nerves. But more importan...
tly, having her gracefully run around on the wedding day, dealing with stuff that came up, allowed us to enjoy our day :)
I'm a calligrapher and stationery designer and have been working with Tamara and her team for the past year. I have to say, every time, it is a TREAT!
These ladies are nothing sho...
rt of amazing. When you hire a planner, you can probably expect them to be organized, detail-oriented, etc. With these ladies, you get so much more. I've witnessed first-hand, this team act as friends, cheerleaders, and "right arms" to couples. Their can-do attitude also makes working with them as a vendor a breeze.
SBTN is also amongst some of the most creative in the industry when it comes to event design. We recently worked on a 1st birthday party together and it was fit for a king with a book-shaped cake, lush florals, and a lounge!
If you are thinking about hiring these ladies, whether it be for your wedding, baby shower, or something else, don't think twice! You won't regret it.
Elle was our wedding planner and was absolutely vital to the success of our big day. She was calm and to the point, gently reminded us to do things (which we needed a lot of), was ...
never pushy and accommodated all our preferences and changes. Tamara and her team did our flowers and decor and OMG the end result blew me away. It was like an enchanted indoor wildflower forest and such a huge wow factor. This is a great team to work with and they will take of you and make your vision come true!
Tammy and the team are absolutely amazing! They made what would have otherwise been a very stressful endeavor an unforgettable, beautiful experience! The SBTN crew have such calmin...
g, positive personalities and are so great to work with. Not even the smallest detail was overlooked, even though we didn’t have a whole lot of time to plan! My wedding day was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and was virtually stress free...something that is invaluable on such an important occasion! All of our guests were beyond impressed. I couldn’t have asked or even wished for anything more. 5/5. Do yourself a favor and choose Simply by Tamara Nicole to plan your wedding!!! You’ll be so glad you did!
I will start by saying this: You WILL want to hire Tamara and her team to plan your next event and I will tell you why.
Tamara is such an easy and fun person to work with. Beside...
s her amazing energy, she is brilliant when doing event planning. She has the BEST ideas and knows everyone and every way to get things executed much better than you ever dreamt of.
First birthday parties are HUGE in my culture so we knew we would need help to make the party of our dreams happen. We hired Simply by Tamara Nicole and I would hire her a thousand times again. Our experience was beyond and beyond.
We had a vague idea for the theme of our son's first birthday, but we knew we wanted something personal to him. We went with what we saw he likes the most: his books. We also decided for brunch. I was so happy when Tamara was on board with this and from these simple ideas she managed to plan the best first birthday party for ourselves and our guests. Every single detail was perfectly curated. We had an ice cream cart, balloon twisting and face painting, a mimosa bar, a coffee bar, a kids lounge, an incredible 3D cake and a great selection of food. There were also a lot of other decor details and nice touches (I just can't list them all).
Overall, the party definitely pleased all of our guests, from the little ones to the big ones. On top of this, Tamara designed and created all the floral details herself, which complemented the vision and color palette of the party very flawlessly.
I mean, I could spend a day writing all about that party and Tamara and her team. This is the best party we had. We just wished we knew her back in the days when we got married, so she could have planned a timeless event for us as well. We can't wait for our vow renewal one day. Meanwhile, we will cherish the memories of our son's first birthday, for which we keep receiving compliments from our guests as the best birthday party EVER!
If you haven't had the chance to work with Tamara Nicole then you are 100% missing out! Wedding days and events in general are incredibly daunting to tackle. Keeping it unique and ...
genuine to you are also intimidating tasks. Tamara, however, thinks of it all. We have worked with her on the catering side a handful of times now and we are over the moon about everything she brings to the table. She is incredibly organized, so well versed in what she does, and unbelievably creative.
Beyond the accountability side, Tamara is worth every penny invested. We have seen Tamara work with couples for weddings and then in turn help them their baby shower down the road. Her warm and welcoming personality creates a comfortable planning process - and that is something every Bride and Groom needs. She invests in her couples and it doesn't go unnoticed.
We as a team are always to excited when we hear that one of our couples has booked Tamara Nicole for coordinating and design. If you are still on the hunt for a wedding planner we highly suggest you check her out!!
A big HUGE thank you to Tamara and Nicole. As the groom, I didn't really get at first why we needed a wedding planner. But I listened to my bride, and now looking back I have to sa...
y it was worth every penny to have Tamara and Nicole by our side planning our day. They truly brought my wife's vision to life - and every detail was considered. It was definitely one of the best days of our lives and we could not have done it without these two amazing gals. I still remember the look on both of our faces when we walked into our reception hall before our guests for a sneak peek - we couldn't believe it - they exceeded all of our expectations. This is one team you definitely want to include in your budget! Thank you again!
Where to even begin?! Words can't express how thankful and appreciative we are that Tamara and Nicole came into our lives. I have been envisioning my wedding day since I was a litt...
le girl and these two made that dream come true. They are so calm and organized and bring so many great ideas to the table. We really wanted our guests to feel a part of the wedding, and they helped make this happen, incorporating so many special details and touches. I love how much they truly listen and care about their clients - and will go above and beyond to help make your dreams come true. Plus, they have fun doing it and both are such genuine, generous and thoughtful humans - you almost feel like your hanging out with your girlfriends! Tamara and Nicole truly exceeded my expectations for my wedding day. And because of them, I was able to relax and be present. It was one of the most magical days of my life -and I know for certain I could not have pulled it off without them. Our friends and family still tell us it was one of the best weddings they have been to (which is one of the best compliments you can receive!). I highly, highly recommend Simply by Tamara Nicole - you will not be disappointed one bit!!!
Where do I even begin! Tamara and her team are amazing. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with her for a full year planning our beautiful wedding. First off, Tamara is s...
o sweet and truly cares about her clients! She connected us with the best vendors in the Seattle area to where I was not worried about a single aspect of the wedding. We are also a couple from out of town and Tamara went above and beyond to make sure all of our DIY projects were completed and was the eyes and ears on the ground. Tamara consistently checked in with us to see how we were doing and if we had any stressors she could help with. She always looked out for our best interest, was creative, advocated for us with our vendors, and made sure to personalize her approach to our style and needs. Her confidence in what she does is unmatched and made any stressor go away. The day of the wedding, she made sure any hiccups were taken care of and checked in with us to make sure we were still good through out the entire evening. I couldn’t say enough good things about our experience with her. I highly recommend if your getting married to check her out! You won’t be sorry.
I can’t say enough good things about Tamara and her team! Thank you for making our wedding day so magical!
We found Tamara through a bridal magazine and I absolutely fell in love w...
ith her style. Then after meeting over coffee and a treat, I knew she was the perfect fit!
Tamara helped keep us on track, kept us sane, knew exactly how to seamlessly pull our ideas and random design thoughts together and did it all so graciously with a smile. She was ready to tackle any issues that arose such as one of our signs that broke when it arrived to helping fix part of my dress that was falling apart.
Thank you to Tamara and her team for making our special day the most memorable day we could have asked for!
Tamara is a wonderful wedding planner! She is "Simply" amazing!
Tamara helped me to plan my wedding starting about 10-11 months beforehand. She provided excellent recommendations for venues and vendors and helped us to book all of it. When I th...
ought that my dream venue was completely out of my league, she convinced me otherwise and made it work. When I was freaking out the week before the wedding that everything wouldn't be done in time, she was there to assure me that she would make sure that everything would turn out great, and it did! She recommended a lot of little details that never even occurred to me and ended up making the night more special. There is no way I would have stayed on track without her, and I am so glad that I had her to advise me along the way.
Tamara and her sister Claire who also works with the company coordinated on the wedding day, and I am so happy to say that it went off without a hitch! When my floral headpiece turned up smaller than I wanted, she said no problem, took care of it with the florist, and came back later with a magically fixed piece. It was a small-medium size wedding of only about 70, but there were a lot of decorations to set up as well as vendors and activities to manage. She managed to flip the entire room during cocktail hour in what seemed like nearly no time at all. And the room was GORGEOUS! I am truly so grateful for every little detail that Tamara perfected for us. It was a really magical night, and I have no idea how we would have planned it or pulled it off without her.
Tamara is an amazing wedding planner. From the moment we met her, she made things very simple, organized, and most importantly fun. Her design is beautiful and her attention to det...
ail is on point. I cannot thank her and her team enough for making our dream wedding come true.
We truly don’t have enough words for how incredible Tamara and her team are! We started working with Tamara about a year before our wedding, her and I instantly clicked and I knew ...
she was the one for us. From her fun, genuine, positive dimenor and amazing talent she made the entire process not just stress free but enjoyable! Tamara’s ability to make our vision a reality was incredible and she executed every detail, even ones I didn’t think of!! She has such a gift not only in styling and planning but also just being an incredibly patient and caring person. She handled all of our family and friends with such patience and grace, which meant the world to us. She constantly put myself, husband and family at ease and always made us feel comfortable with each and every step. She also provided us with the best team from photographers and all the others vendors, we were so happy with everyone she recommended we hire and work with. On top of full planning she also did our florals which was one of my favorite pieces of our wedding, I fell in love with every floral piece she did and my bouquet literally took my breath away. Her talent amazes me!!! She made our big day go off without a single hitch, we literally had not a single worry or concern the entire day and had to do nothing other then enjoy our beautiful wedding. She managed every single detail and timeline to perfection and if anything did go wrong we still have no idea!! Our wedding and the entire experience was beyond perfect and that is all thanks to Tamara and her team. It was bittersweet having the wedding over because of Tamara being so incredible, she made me as a bride feel so special, from making my appointments to always answering my endless emails and texts she never once left me feeling uneasy or unsure that the day wouldn’t be perfect. She truly is the absolute best at what she does!!! I don’t have the words to ever express our love and gratitude for Tamara and she forever holds a very special place in our hearts! —The Franklins
Tamara and her team are Simply amazing. I cannot begin to describe the professionalism, dedication and exceptional service I received from her while planning my wedding. I worked w...
ith Tamara for one and half years leading up to my wedding and she was such a dream to work with. I picked her mostly for her design skills (which seemed similar to my taste) and because I have no creativity at all wanted someone who really would take charge in this area so I didn't have to think about it. What she put together was the most amazing decor I have seen at any wedding ever. Not only was she so great with decor we ended up going with her for flowers and they were incredibly beautiful and well done. She knew exactly the style I wanted and I never once had to question any of her decisions or suggestions (and I am picky!) She really went above and beyond. She also was very diligent and on top of things from responding to my emails, to being extremely organized with her to do lists, to suggesting exceptional vendors for me to pick.
My wedding was just over a month ago and I am still getting comments from almost all of my guests that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they've been to and I have no doubt that this was all due to Tamara and her team of professionals.
