Brides and Moms of Bride Stop Looking! This is your planner. There are not enough stars for this amazing planner. Tammy and her team are absolutely the best! My daughter’s wedding was FLAWLESS because of Tammy.
When my daughter got engaged, hiring Tammy was at the top of our list. We had worked with her before for my son’s wedding. In our first meeting, we realized my daughter picked a crazy busy weekend for the wedding. Tammy talked us through all that we needed to consider, helped us review venues, and made it possible to find blocked rooms on a very jam-packed Tampa hotel weekend. She assisted us in finding incredible vendors. When we called vendors, they praised Tammy and kept telling us how much they loved working with her. She attended vendor meetings with us, helped review contracts, and kept track of everything. She advised us on what made sense, what things weren’t necessary, and even what was a complete waste of money because of logistics or time limits. She helped us stay within budget and even saved us money!
She and her team decorated the entire venue in an hour (venue requirement). Tammy thought of every detail, asked us questions that we hadn’t even considered, and advocated for my daughter throughout the entire planning process. She has so many years of experience and it showed in her calm, nothing rattles her demeanor. She’s professional, kind, caring, and makes the bride and her family feel incredibly special throughout the entire process. On my daughter’s wedding day, Tammy was everywhere she was needed. The minute she was needed. NOTHING went wrong because we had Tammy!
This was our second time hiring Tammy for a wedding and I would hire her 100 times more for events! She is worth every penny. If you want a dream wedding, hire this dream planner and her team!

Tammy (the head of Special Moments) is a logistics queen. She planned my cousin's wedding with 365 people (!) and it was one of the smoothest/most fun weddings I've ever been to. This is why we booked her - I knew she'd be able to nail our big fat 300-person wedding with ease.
And that she did! Tammy is an expert and spinning a lot of plates without neglecting anything. No detail was forgotten, no stone was unturned - I truly think this is why our wedding was such a hit. Guests had the best time and never had to worry about where they were supposed to be or what was supposed to be happening. It was a day and night of nonstop fun, and that was all because of Tammy. I'm extremely Type-A organized and Tammy makes me look like a season finale of Hoarders in comparison. She is the best and I felt calm my whole wedding day knowing that the event was in great, capable hands.
Tammy and her team are incredible! I was told by so many guests that our day looked perfect and it's because it was, but only because Tammy was involved. They will make sure your day goes off without any issues. I always felt like Tammy had our backs. She truly is a rockstar. Hire Special Moments to be your Wedding Planner!
Any questions?
Tammy was fantastic to work with! She made the planning process so much easier and listened to our vision for the wedding. Tammy respected our budget and would recommend 3-4 vendors in every category for my son and his fiancé to consider. As the mother of the groom I expected I would be stressed out the day of the wedding. Instead, I was relaxed and enjoyed the wedding taking in every special moment. I realized "Tammy's got this" and she did! I highly recommend Tammy and Special Moments Event Planning!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! As a bride I was very stressed and full of anxiety. Tammy and her team took that stress off of me. Not just on my wedding day, but the entire planning process! Do yourself a favor and hire her to help you!!!
Tammy and her staff made our wedding everything we could ask for. When we initially met with Tammy we were very overwhelmed and she simplified the process. She provided us with some amazing vendors. Her process was very detailed oriented and we were able to think of everything ahead of time to make the day amazing for our guests and for us! Our wedding day was smooth and flawless. Since our wedding I’ve suggested Tammy and her team to several friends and will continue to do so!
Tammy was extremely helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. As a bride coming from out of state having someone as knowledgeable as Tammy who can help you narrow down the best vendors was extremely valuable! Day of the event, her and Jennifer helped alleviate all my husband and my stress. Everything was executed perfectly and our day was the best day of our lives thanks to their amazing work! I can not recommend Special Moments enough!
I don't even know where to start but when we were looking for a wedding planner, we didn't know who will do a good job. My fiancé, now my wife, found special moments and spoke to Tammy. I don't stress but my wife and her mom were stressing and feeling overwhelmed, however, Tammy assured us that everything will be under control and that she will make sure that the wedding ceremony and reception will go smoothly and according to plan. She gave us all the help we needed, not just her, but her team as well. I recommend special moments 110% to anyone looking for a wedding planner. They will help out couples every step of the way. Thank you Tammy and team from special moments. My wife and I appreciate everything you did for us and our wedding.
TAMMY WAS AMAZING! She was so extremely helpful from start to finish. She thought of things we wouldn't have thought of in a million years. She was so thorough and detailed. For example, she put together a timeline of everything from start to finish down to the minute. It was extremely impressive and allowed us to not have a worry in the world. With so many things to do (especially on a destination wedding), she made it possible for us to truly soak in every moment not only during the special day but also the days leading up to it. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Tammy. Tammy was absolutely perfect.
Tammy and the team at Special Moments were so incredibly helpful! I don't know what we would have done without them. They helped us avoid so many pitfalls, and made the planning process much less painful, much more fun! Their help on the day of the wedding was a game-changer as well. So professional, so considerate. We recommend them highly!

We opted for the full planning service and were exceedingly happy with Tammy's responsiveness and invaluable help the day of the wedding. She had many vendor contacts, letting us comparison shop amid inflation and supply chain problems. Due to a Nuptial Mass, we had to trust that the reception choices were "walk in ready." The results were beautiful. We were able to fully enjoy the evening while also feeling that her knowledge saved us money.

Tammy did a fabulous job helping to coordinate and plan the entire wedding. Tammy's recommendations and vendor suggestions were spot on for us. She guided us throughout but allowed us to make the final decisions. I loved that we were able to give her my daughter's vision and then she helped set a realistic budget and plan. Trust her suggestions to make it happen. We had a high-end beautiful wedding (live band, filet mignon & salmon, full bar, string trio, beautiful tables and lighting) for a lot less than many friends we have talked to. She absolutely kept us in budget without us ever feeling like we gave up anything important. Tammy was worth every penny.

We booked Special Moments planning after a phone call with Tammy that felt very authentic. Throughout the entire planning process she was honest about what things were truly worth the time, money, and effort - it was great to have the real expectation vs reality! The group has also known about and worked with several of our other vendors which was reassuring and helpful. The day went by so quickly, but when I think back on it, it truly was all of the “special moments” that made it all happen including the girls bustling my dress for me!
Thank you all so so much!
And to everyone reading :
Even as someone who enjoyed most planning and decision-making.. trust me in saying, you need a planner to take off a lot of stress. Special Moments has so many different options to fit your needs, and was perfect for us.

Tammy, Brittany and team were AMAZING to work with!!!!!

Our wedding would not have happened if it wasn’t for Tammy and her Team! Booking Special Moments was the best decision we made. Tammy was attentive from day one even when we didn’t have a venue or date picked. She helped us decide on a venue and worked with us to carefully build the perfect team of photography, videography, and design. She truly never missed a beat. When our original venue was damaged by Hurricane Ian and our wedding was cancelled three weeks before our wedding date, Tammy took over in calling multiple venues so we could keep our original wedding date. This stressful and emotional time was quickly resolved with so much grace and empathy, I cannot imagine what would have happened if we had not had hired her. The day of our wedding was spent enjoying each other and our family and friends without needing to think twice that everything was not taken care of! Brittany and Tammy absolutely saved our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Tammy- WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

My husband and I were married on 5/21/2022. Two months before our wedding our original coordinator backed out. I was so incredibly stressed out. Tammy came very highly recommended so I called her and felt immediate relief. Having never hired a coordinator before I realized that the original person I was working with had no clue what they were doing. Tammy & Brittany were on top of everything ensuring that our wedding day went without any hiccups. They worked with all of my vendors and for the first time in over a year, I felt helped. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect, Brittany was a literal angel and was there for everything and anything we needed. There wasn't one stressful moment on that day and I honestly couldn't be more thankful or speak any higher of these two women and the company itself. Do not hesitate when thinking of hiring Special Moments Event Planning, you will not regret it.

Tammy was always available to answer any of my questions; at all times throughout the day! I was very impressed by her dedication and attentiveness to my needs and her team made sure the wedding was a dream come true. Melissa with Special Moments was also incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding. If you need help planning your wedding, GO WITH SPECIAL MOMENTS!

Tammy and Jennifer were delightful to work with! They handled any task I threw at them, and even helped to come up with creative solutions to help make our vision for our wedding to come to life. Everything was handled day of, I didn’t worry about a thing. And when one of our vendors didn’t deliver the dance floor, Jennifer managed to have it delivered and in place before guests set foot in the reception venue in less than an hour (a huge feat when getting married on Clearwater beach during spring break and some of our guests didn’t make it to the ceremony on time due to traffic). Special Moments was worth every penny!!! I can’t recommend enough.

Tammy, Jennifer and Melissa DID IT ALL ! Personally I have a hard time planning anything in my life so I knew I needed assistance. After talking to Tammy I knew they had my back! She step by step helped me hire everyone needed who she knew was amazing! She was in contact with all of our vendors so I didn’t have to worry a bit !
Our wedding caused us ZERO stress ! I also sent her my guest list and she did all of our invites and rsvp’s! Our wedding was the best day of just enjoying the moment. I had no other worries and really that’s what an amazing planner can provide for you ! She provides so many things like table numbers, card box, welcome signs etc. that in the end you save money that you would have wasted on a one time use. If your wanting to enjoy the months, days, and all moments of your wedding work with these ladies truly the BEST! We cannot thank them enough. Our guests still say it was the best wedding ! Thank you again!

We used Special Moments as a day of planner but still received help, meetings and details the weeks before which was perfect for our needs. Tammy was extremely organized and detailed. She has a great selection of items to use (rather than renting or buying - card box, flutes, cake knife set, etc) Her staff Melissa and Jennifer the day of were absolutely fantastic and made the day go extremely smooth! Definitely recommend!!!

We are thrilled to hear you extremely satisfied with our services =)
Melissa & Jennifer are a great team !!!!
We could not have had our wedding without Tammy and Special Moments Events! My brother and sister-in-law used Tammy for their wedding in 2014 and recommended her; I will be recommending her to my sister if she gets married in the area, as well. We hired Tammy in April 2021 for our wedding at The Vinoy on December 31, 2021. Because we had postponed our wedding from 2020, we were about halfway through planning when we hired Tammy. We needed help finding and selecting some additional vendors and really wanted someone to help us execute in the month leading up to the wedding and day-of, so we selected the Treasured Moments package. Every vendor that Tammy recommended (florist, linens, dance floor rental, and cold sparklers for our midnight moment) was outstanding. She also saved us tons of money by loaning us many items we would have otherwise had to buy for our big day, like dozens of candles for our ceremony and centerpieces, a card box, cake serving set, table numbers, flower girl baskets, and much more. But more than anything, Tammy made sure our wedding day actually happened! Our venue coordinator ended up having a family emergency the week of our wedding and couldn't be there; another coordinator stepped in, but she had other events at the venue happening simultaneously. Without Tammy, I'm not sure what we would have done. Tammy made sure that everything at our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. When things weren't quite right she made sure to flag it and get it corrected. Throughout the process, Tammy always had our back and spoke up on our behalf if something seemed off. She also offered a lot of good advice when we ran into issues or questions with any of our vendors. Tammy runs a tight ship, and our whole day was organized and timed to a T. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing—we just got to enjoy our day! If you want a seasoned professional who will execute your wedding vision and make sure your wedding goes smoothly, go with Tammy and Special Moments Events!

Special Moments Events, both Tammy and Jennifer, were pivotal in the success of our wedding. While I acquired most of the vendors prior to reaching out to Special Moments, they made sure nothing fell through the cracks! Special Moments also printed our menu cards and seating chart, which were both perfect! Jennifer was our event day coordinator, and she worked extremely hard to make sure everything went off without a hitch. I do not know what I would have done without Special Moments. Thank you so much, Tammy and Jennifer! You are the best!!!

If you are wondering about a wedding planner, wondering if the cost is worth it, STOP! Tammy is worth every penny. She was amazing, helping us plan a wedding during COVID, keeping everyone on track and calm, saving us money and making the entire wedding weekend phenomenal! She was the perfect fairy godmother to my DIL and son! Thanks for everything, Tammy!
Tammy, Jennifer, and Melissa are exactly what their titles say they are - Dream Makers! We weren't sure if we needed a wedding coordinator because we were doing our wedding planning on our own. But after some advice from friends and reading reviews, we decided we wanted a day-of wedding coordinator to make our plans run smoothly and to allow us and our families to enjoy the day. We are so glad we hired Special Moments! Tammy gave me advice and recommendations throughout the month leading up to our wedding. She kept everything organized and executed our plan perfectly on our wedding day. These 3 ladies so far exceeded our expectations - every time I needed something on the wedding day, they had already anticipated it and had a better idea for how to take care of it than I would have. It gave us so much peace of mind just knowing we had their expertise and experience as part of our team. When we were trying to make the call about our weather backup plan a few days before the wedding, Tammy was available to talk with me and helped me to make the right decision. We can't thank Tammy, Jennifer, and Melissa enough. They played a big part in making our wedding day our perfect dream!

Tammy and her team are AMAZING! They made planning our wedding so much less stressful and so much more efficient. As a pandemic bride, restrictions ultimately forced us to cancel the big, dream wedding we planned and have a much smaller zoom wedding. Tammy made that process as easy as it could be and was a planner and therapist for me all in one! I cannot recommend Special Moments enough!

Dear Linda,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Tammy and her wedding planning team at Special Moments! We are thrilled to hear that they did a phenomenal job with your daughter's wedding. Planning a wedding for over 350 people...
is no small feat, and it's fantastic to know that Tammy's expertise made the entire process smooth and enjoyable.
It's evident that Tammy's extensive knowledge and attention to detail played a crucial role in recommending the best vendors for various aspects of the wedding, from catering to flowers, videography to the photo booth. The fact that she formulated an extensive timeline and ensured everything stayed on track throughout the day is truly impressive.
Your heartfelt recommendation of Special Moments speaks volumes about the quality of service they provide. Whether it's a small or large wedding, it's clear that Tammy and her team have what it takes to deliver an outstanding experience.
Once again, congratulations on your daughter's wedding, and we wish you all the best in the future.
Warm regards,
Tammy , Mark , Cameron , Janice , Jennifer , Melissa
I hired Special Moments Event Planning as my day of coordinator. After planning my wedding for months, I wanted to have someone there to keep the day running smoothly and I am so glad I found Tammy. She was so easy to work with during the entire process and was always responsive when I had questions leading up to my wedding day. Jennifer and Melissa were my day of coordinators and they were absolutely amazing! They were so attentive and kept things moving along without any issue. I highly recommend using Tammy Waterman and her amazing staff. Thank you Jennifer, Melissa, and Tammy for creating a dream wedding day for me!

Tammy and her team did an amazing job! They pay attention to details to make everything perfect. Our hired babysitter did not show up for the reception and Tammy's sister stepped in and took care of our daughter. They saved the day! She also decorated our honeymoon suite and it was beautiful. Highly recommend.
Tammy and her team were so helpful and thoughtful around all of our questions and every detail! We appreciate all of her hard work and dedication!! Thank you!

Special Moments...
Team -
Tammy at Special Moments was a dream come true for us. We chose her package that was a little more than day-of planning only. I reached out to her so many times while I was putting all of the plans together to get her advice and ask for help on making certain decisions. Every single time I talked to her she gave me perfect answers, great advice, and just made me feel so confident in what I was doing. The day of the wedding we were so afraid of the rain that was predicted exactly during my ceremony on the beach. She specifically said to me "you don't need to worry until I tell you to worry"...basically taking that burden off my shoulders. She handled everything so perfectly and helped make my vision a reality. Also every other vendor we worked with raved about what a great choice we had made with Tammy and how much they enjoyed working with her. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the Clearwater/Tampa area. She is a dream come true.
It seems weddings handled by owner Tammy herself are those in which your paying an exorbitant amount and they then seem to pull off miracles. But if they chose Shauna, who is a staffer who worked at David’s bridals, this clearly is above her paygrade. She did not recreate one detail given for my wedding, she was given verbal instruction, a list for decor items needed and wanted, inspiration shots and restated the instruction for what I envisioned. Sadly, I was on the receiving end of an amateur with no oversight on my wedding day. It is evident the owner has no accountability to her staff and their lack of attention to brides vision. I simply must not have bought into the Elite services of competence.
Let me note my Wedding turned out beautiful due to the friends and family attendance and how my new husband and I added our touches that WE carried thru on: covering room charges, fresh flowers in guests rooms, activities the entire weekend, Cuban dinner at our home, and nothing but love and sincere wishes. But as for decor, guest relations with vendor, approving meals and unknown costs to the bride groom, damaging and flat out losing items of the bride groom then trying to make up untruths to avoid any accountability is just piss poor business sense.
I paid $1100 as most of my tasks needed were the day coordination but I got kindergarten goes rouge. Just ask for shauna and your bound to get the discount as she is truly Kmart blue light special with coupon. Worst decision of the wedding was giving them the reins to make my dream come alive.
I stopped payment on my credit card and plan to fight that large portion of payment due to my dissatisfaction. Beware if you hear the name Shauna. She inferred last time we spoke she was in charge of the chocolate fondue dessert bar and cotton candy machines. She wasn’t kidding and the joke is now on me. Oh well. Thank goodness the evening was mostly in the dark. Cheers to other beautiful brides on their wedding days. Hope my honest commentary made you giggle, I did.
Hiring Tammy and her Special Moments team was, without a doubt, the best decision we made in the beginning stages of wedding planning. We started out trying to plan and do things on our own, but quickly began to feel overwhelmed. When we found Tammy, it was like she saved us!!! From our first phone call (which lasted over an hour), Tammy had given us so much helpful information and I felt like she instantly helped me narrow down my sporadic vision for our wedding. We planned for a little over a year and throughout that entire year, Tammy was available by email or phone for any and all questions. To say that she is detail oriented and well organized would be a huge understatement! Tammy led us to finding all of our amazing vendors we used for the wedding and we loved every single one of them. Tammy always listened to us, what we wanted and helped us to stick to our budget, while still having a glamorous wedding! On the wedding day, everything ran so incredibly smooth, I did not worry about a single thing, and was able to enjoy the entire day without any stress. My husband and I were blown away by the work the Special Moments team did on our reception space, it was better than anything we could have imagined. Tammy and her team literally brought our wedding dreams to life! I feel like everyone should have a Tammy and Special Moments team on their wedding day! If you hire them, you will absolutely not regret it!!!

Tammy and her incredible team from Special Moments Event Planning were amazing. I am so grateful to Tammy and her team for working with my mother and I each step of the way. Tammy had so many ideas and suggestions based on her vast experience, which certainly assisted us. Tammy was incredibly helpful and my mother and I are grateful for her guidance and advice. I felt much more comfortable with her confidence regarding our caterer vendor as well as with her familiarity of our wedding venue. Even more, Tammy was kind enough to let us utilize some of her warehouse items for our wedding ceremony. We also purchased a number of glow stick items that needed to be assembled close to our reception time because the glow would expire otherwise. Tammy’s team made that happen and brought them out at the perfect time. Throughout the wedding, her team assisted us with water (on a very hot day), my train, asking if we needed anything and just being overall helpful. I was not nervous on the day of my wedding at all. One, because I knew I was marrying the man that I have always wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But, two, because we had Tammy and her team. Tammy has a take-charge type of attitude and as a result, things get done. I’d definitely trust Tammy and her team with another event for us!

If you are thinking of saving the expense of a wedding planner and trying to do it all yourself… DON’T!!
First, Special Moments are most affordable you will find for what they offer.
Second, it is well worth the expense to have expert wedding planners like Tammy and Petra take away all the stress on your wedding day so you can enjoy every minute of it… cause it goes by quick! I didn't even know the cops showed up in response to a noise complaint, or that my dad was late getting to the ceremony to walk me down the aisle! We never ran out of anything, and all the vendors did what they were hired to do, so we didn't need to manage a thing. We could just enjoy our special day with our family and friends.
Finally, whatever it costs to hire them, you will get every penny back through their excellent recommendations and vast inventory. They saved us thousands of dollars by recommending an amazing caterer at a per person cost that other vendors couldn’t believe he was charging. And their vast amount of decor inventory for every taste saved us hundreds of dollars on new decor – plus who wants the brain damage of having to sell it all on Craigslist after the wedding?
Petra is one of the hardest workers I know, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the most important day of my life. She was on top of everything at all times, and the day could not have gone any smoother. And she deserves an Emmy for the most memorable part of our day – when she helped play a prank on our best man by telling him I wasn’t coming. Thank you Tammy and Petra for making sure our wedding was the fairytale wedding I had always dreamed of!

Tammy and Shauna become more then ‘month of coordinators” and more like family. I booked them about 6 months in advance for a destination wedding. They made everything flow seamlessly and was very honest since i was a little stressed coming from out of state in the midst of a hurricane ( micheal) .
They gave me ideas and direction when needed and also paid very close attention to intricate details.
They are amazing!!!!!

Hiring Special Moments to coordinate the wedding details was the smartest move we made in planning our daughter's wedding. Tammy was highly recommended by my son-in-law's friend--and it was money well spent! My daughter had made a lot of the plans already, but Tammy and her staff coordinated every last detail, plus they designed and provided the centerpieces. They removed 90% of the stress, handled every detail with professionalism--even a last minute glitch that none of us saw coming--and made sure everything happened as the bride and groom desired. We were all able to fully enjoy the celebration without having to worry about the details. If you think you can't afford a wedding planner, think again... the price was very reasonable! I highly recommend Tammy and Special Moments Event Planning. I would definitely call on Tammy if I needed to plan another event, either personally or for my business.

Jackie .. THank you so much ! We LOVED working with you , Lizz and Josh to help create the vision they had in their heads and bring it to life! Hugs and Kisses to everyone !!!
I got married April 21st in St Petersburg and the reception was all the way up in clearwater and Tammy and her staff made sure that the day went by smoothly the whole day! (Also i live over on the east coast of flirday so it was stressful enough planning a wedding from 4.5 hours away!) I hired Tammy to do the nitty gritty day of things like setting up the reception hall and transportt a lot of decorations and things that i needed or just wanted at the reception. She also contacted all of my vendors to make sure that I had ordered what i needed to so that day of, we were not missing or needing anything! Tammy and her team were a godsend throughout the entire wedding process! She helped me find and book vendors, handled all of my day of wedding needs and was just the best, organized and helpful planner. Without her, my day would not have been the same or even really have happened!! She set up every table, made sure that the vendors were all in check and even hand did the draping for the reception hall! Tammy was also on top of everything from sending me emails to remind me to do this or that, to texting to me if I hadn’t responded yet through the planning process. She truly was a blessing to work with and I look forward to using her in the future for any of my event planing needs! I highly recommend not only getting an event planner but to hire Tammy and her team for whatever you may need help with! They made every wish for my wedding come true! I am truly blessed to have worked with such a talented and hardworking event planner!! Thank you Tammy for making my wedding day and planning process so special!!!

Jenna it was so much fun working with you and your Mom ! Knowing your family half of my life made this day so rewarding knowing that we made all of your dreams come true!
We hired Tammy and her staff at Special Moments a little over a month out from our wedding. We were stressing out about how we were going to bring our decorations for the ceremony and the reception table centerpieces to the wedding venue and then bring them back home for our destination wedding. We decided to talk to Tammy and she created a custom package for us so that we would be able to choose from the vast amount of decorations she had and use those decorations for our wedding instead of having to ship them or buy all of them the weekend of our wedding. That was only one of the ways Tammy saved our sanity and kept us from stressing out. We also ended up having an issue with our hotel block (completely our fault, not the hotel’s) and Tammy contacted the hotel on our behalf and kept us in the loop on the resolution of the issue. Tammy kept in contact with us regularly, answered our numerous questions patiently, and kept track of all the little last minute changes and details we had. The weekend of the wedding Tammy brought all of our wedding stuff from her office to the venue and saved us so much time and stress since we were already preoccupied with the rehearsal dinner. The day of the wedding, Tammy and Petra were so organized and thought of all the little details that I had forgotten. They also kept us on schedule so that we weren’t running behind. The ceremony decorations in the aisle and at the altar were beautifully done and we were just blown away by the amazing table centerpieces at the reception. Tammy even found a gold cake stand and cake cutting set for us to match our wedding colors! At the end of the wedding we were exhausted but so grateful when we came back up to our room and found that Tammy and Petra had already put everything we needed back in our room and had it cleaned as well! Our only regret is that we didn’t hire Special Moments at the beginning of our wedding planning. We are so grateful to Tammy and Petra for the best wedding ever and would highly recommend them to everyone!

Special Moments was referred to me by a friend of mine who got married 3 months before me. The biggest testament to this team is how hard they work and focus on making each experience unique and special with whom they are working. My friend's wedding and mine had completely different visions, and they were both completely stunning. From the decorations to the timelines...the Special Moments team was organized and prompt with everything they did. Thank you so much!

Words cannot express how amazing Tammy and Petra were the day of the wedding! We hadn't planned on getting a coordinator and it was absolutely the best decision we ever made. We didn't have to do a single thing the day of the wedding, everything was 100% handled. The wind was an issue during the ceremony and Tammy had everything re-arranged, and the linens we had chosen didn't look good the day of so she switched everything out for us. It was absolutely perfect and Tammy made everything so stress free! In addition to Tammy's attention to detail, she recommended very amazing vendors, provided a lot of the things we needed (table numbers and flower girl basket, etc.), and helped get us lower prices on rentals! Highly recommend!

I cannot begin to thank Tammy and her team of Dream makers enough! There is not a chance my wedding would have turned out so beautiful without their guidance and attention to detail. Tammy was always just a phone call away and extremely responsive anytime I reached out which was often late at night due to my work schedule! She helped me navigate through vendors, timelines, pricing negotiations you name it! I would truly encourage every Bride who needs a help handing to seek out Tammy! She is one of a kind!

Tammy did such an amazing job decorating the drapery of our tent for our wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort. She truly made the outdoor space look elegant and beautiful. During one of our visit to the venue without knowing she was there I walked into it and instantly said this is Tammy's work because it looked that wonderful and she worked her same magic for our special day!
Thank you Tammy for everything.

Alex, We were honored to be able to help make your carefully planned details happen for you , so you could enjoy the day with your friends and family and not have to worry about anything =)
My Husband Steve and I hired Special Moments about a month after we got engaged. From the very beginning, Tammy and her team made themselves available to assist in any way possible. They have many different packages available to purchase for ever type of bride. I chose the package that allowed me to use her warehouse of decorations and day of coordination. Tammy went above and beyond and offered me so much more than this. She was always quick to respond and she practically paid for herself with all of the money she helped me save. My wedding day went off without a hitch. Special Moments literally brought to life the wedding of my dress and I will always recommend them!

in our hearts and minds .
Best wishes for many years of happiness together .
Tammy is an absolute DREAM to work with! I call her a MIRACLE WORKER! My wedding was October 6th and originally planned to be in St. Thomas but due to Hurricane Irma we had to cancel St thomas plans 3 weeks before the wedding.
I contacted Tammy as she was highly recommended through a wedding page on Facebook and it was the best decision i made thus far! My wedding was BEYOND PERFECT! Tammy got the best vendors and I couldn't be happier!

Tammy
Using Tammy for our wedding planner was by far our best decision throughout the entire wedding process! We hired Tammy 8 weeks out from our wedding date and she did amazing and quick work! I gave her my expectations and price ranges and she provided me with vendor options that I was able to choose from. From there she did the rest! I hardly did anything but show up on the day of the wedding. I trusted her with every tiny little decision and she did nothing but impress me each time. The ceremony appearance was more than I imagined and the reception tables were gorgeous! All of which she decorated and was in charge of. She was more than organized and helped keep me informed on payment due dates, any contracts due and everything else in between. I will forever tell every new bride to get a wedding planner, especially if she has the opportunity to use Tammy!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2017
Kristina,
Thank you so much for your kind words .. I am thrilled I was able to make it all happen for you especially with never meeting you in person and just a few phone calls and emails to make it all happen . The smiles on your face when you...
got your wedding on the beach despite the impending storm - makes it all worthwhile! #dreamMakers
Tammy and her Dream Team were absolutely amazing! Since I was a bride who had a hard time making decisions (and was planning the wedding long distance), Tammy always had great recommendations, advice, and guiding questions to help me figure out where to go next with my decisions. We worked with vendors with whom Tammy and her Dream Team have worked before (although we were not required to), and you could tell that it made the day run more seamlessly as a result. Her Dream Team was also amazing in making our vision come to life for our amazing day by making special touches to decorate our sweetheart table, cocktail tables, and ceremony space. She was also very flexible in when and where to meet us to discuss wedding things as well as take items from us so that she could set them up for the wedding.
Tammy always gave me advice in my best interest, even encouraging me not to spend money on things at times! I gained many compliments the weekend of the wedding with many people saying that I was the least stressed bride that they had seen, and I credit most of that to being in the good hands of the Special Moments' Dream Team! She thinks of all the details-big and small-so that everything is in order and you can just enjoy the big day!~Ciara (& Avi)
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2017

I don't even know where to begin to talk about how incredibly wonderful the team at Special Moments is! They all worked so hard to make our day the best day ever! Petra was the sweetest, most accommodating person! She literally took care of everything for us! Including packing up all of our decorations in bubble wrap, all organized and ready for us to take after our wedding. Leading up to our wedding she and Tammy helped us navigate every twist and turn of our planning journey. We were totally clueless and they gave us recommendations for the best vendors who were exactly what we wanted. The day of was so perfect and beautiful! Petra designed our arch and she and Natalie setup all of the decor in the ballroom and it was even better than I ever pictured or imagined. Petra, Tammy, and Natalie were literally fairy godmothers! I felt like a princess all day and can't believe everything went so smoothly and we had SO much fun!!! I thought about nothing other than marrying the love of my life on my wedding day and it was better than a fairy tale. I wouldn't hesitate for a second recommending the team at Special Moments for anyone's wedding planning needs.
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2017
Katie,
Thank you so much for all of the kind words .. We had a blast being included on your special day and the special touches you included thru out your event were priceless .
Highly recommend Special Moments Event Planning to anyone looking to enjoy a stress-free wedding day! During my engagement, I often read articles on "must-haves" at your wedding, and a wedding coordinator always showed up on the list. Nevertheless, I had planned corporate parties in the past and was confident in my skills and thought why not save some money? A month before my wedding, I received the same advice from several of my friends that were recently married that, on your wedding day, you'll want to relax and experience every moment with your bridesmaids and family and not want to stress about a thing! Nor would you want your bridal party consumed with the set up. So, last minute, I reached out to Tammy at Special Moments and she assigned Alexis to me as my Day Of Wedding Coordinator - a perfect fit for what I needed since I had already worked out all of the vendor contracts and details. In a few short weeks, Alexis read through all of my contracts and vendor detail sheets, reached out to all the vendors and set up a day of timeline, was organized and ran the rehearsal and wedding wonderfully! She was the point of contact for all my vendors, was calm and took my vision and executed it so well! She even bustled my dress for me and helped me get in my dancing shoes before the reception! With all the time and money put into my wedding day, this may have been the best money I spent! I was able to completely relax, enjoy and have a blast on my wedding day while knowing I was in good hands. And, they are affordable! Thank you Alexis and Tammy!
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2017
Thank you so much for the Kind words Rachel and we are honored that you trusted us to help in the last few weeks to make it all come together so smoothly and Thrilled that you are so pleased with Alexis ... We just LOVE having her on our team ....

Tammy & Petra were amazing! Our wedding went off without a hitch. We were on a pretty strict budget that we went over with Tammy & team right from the get-go. They recommended vendors who fit our style and vision, but didn't break the bank. Tammy & team did so many custom things for us and made us feel very special. She even got a calligrapher to do our wedding invitations and response cards! Whenever we had questions about anything, they were always quick to respond and give us a straightforward answer. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner - do yourself a favor and DO IT! We didn't want our family/friends to have to worry about anything the day of the wedding (i.e. setup, tear-down, gifts, decorations, etc.). Tammy & team took care of everything so we could enjoy the day as well as our guests. They are behind the scenes all day and you hardly see them working their magic to ensure everything runs smoothly! We are so excited for all the hard work they did for us and would definitely recommend them to other friends/family!

Thank you so much Kyle and Angela for your extremely kind words! We had so much fun working with you on your Earth Day wedding and thrilled that you loved how it all came together.
Tammy and her team were AWESOME! My husband and I were struggling with decor for our destination wedding. With communication being via email and phone, Tammy heard/saw our vision and created it for us. We received so many compliments on our tent draping, center pieces, ceremony area and flowers which truly belong to Tammy and her team!! Oh and the flowers she provided, AMAZING!! A week later and they are still alive! Meeting Tammy only days before the wedding, she helped us with last minute details and needs. In no way did we feel nickled and dimed on every little need. It truly seems like she loves what she does and it shows. Can't thank Tammy and her team enough for helping to make our day special and beautiful!!

Thank you so much Vanessa and Ivan for bringing us along to assist the two of you with a very important time in your lives and thrilled to witness the sheer look of excitement on your faces when it was exactly what you dreamed it would be !
I cannot even express how amazing Special Moments Event Planning was when I was planning my wedding. Tammy and Petra are truly the DREAM TEAM. They took care of every detail on my wedding day. All I had to do was show up and have a good time! Our wedding was fabulous because we hired Special Moments Event Planning to help guide us through the planning process and then of course the actual wedding day.....they took care of everything! Thank you Tammy and Petra, you two are amazing!

! Cheers to a lifetime of happiness.
Tammy and her team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. When I first got engaged, I was unsure about hiring a wedding planner. I thought to myself "I'm creative and organized, I can handle this". After going through the entire planning process I quickly learned I probably would have been a mess without Tammy. She has ongoing business relationships with reputable vendors and allows you to actually relax and enjoy your wedding day, which is a foreign concept to many brides. Even the most innovative, creative DIY brides still need help with execution aspects. I got Tammy's full planning package, and it was worth every penny. She also has a huge assortment of wedding decor available for use at no additional cost if you go with her her full package. That alone significantly helped stay within my budget. I was able to save on vases, candles, wedding arch, etc. She also brings in other members of her staff the day of to ensure every aspect of your wedding goes as planned. Do yourself a favor, and hire Tammy. Your wedding will not only come together beyond your expectations, but it will also allow you to be stress free to enjoy your day, and your entire engagement for that matter. She is professional, hard working, she will run with whatever vision you have in mind, and her packages are very reasonably priced. You won't regret it. :-)
I chose Special Moments because Tammy was the wedding coordinator for my best friend's wedding and she seemed to do a great job. She offered a free phone consultation before I signed a contract and brought up some great points to help me decide what direction I wanted my wedding to go. After signing the contract with Special Moments, communication deteriorated. I was told that Tammy would not be at my wedding and in place, she would send one of her employees and an assistant. No big deal I guess. I met with them at their office to pick out a slew of props to use at the wedding. I was told afterwards that there was a rental fee per item (other reviewers said it's included in price - it was apparently not included in my quote). The employee said she would have rental prices to me soon. A month later, I followed up via email and they said they would have prices to me soon (again). A week later, nothing. Although the employee was the lead coordinator for my wedding and was copied on all emails, she never actually responded to any emails and Tammy took the lead on responses (which usually took awhile). I thought this was a little odd. Upon missing a scheduled phone call because she was tired and overslept, I emailed Tammy with my expectations and told her my disappointments with communication thus far. She apologized and communication was not an issue after that (I guess some people just need to be reminded of customer service?) I feel that I was not listened to and perhaps she had too much going on at the time. For example, I told them multiple times when my venue was available for visits. Tammy would ask me multiple times if we could visit outside of the time frames. Refer to previous emails! Additionally, I had multiple props needed to be hung at the venue. I was told multiple times that the coordinators DO NOT hang, get on ladders, or fuss with floral arrangements. No big deal. I told her I would have men on site to deal with hanging and ladders. She repeated this multiple times and I was getting frustrated that she, once again, was not listening to me. I was also starting to wonder WHAT the coordinators actually do at this point since they don't respond to emails either. Any way, skip to rehearsal. The lead coordinator and assistant were great. I was a very indecisive bride and at times I felt like they were rolling their eyes at me, but perhaps that is me being self-conscious. The rehearsal went smoothly and everyone knew their places. Fast forward to wedding day. I arrived to the venue early and the coordinators had executed my vision nearly flawlessly. I was excited that my money didn't go to total waste. There were some things they missed but that could very well be my fault. The lead coordinator helped in a gown crisis which was unexpected and much appreciated! They kept the flow of the wedding going accordingly. I did not end up tipping them because I felt they did their job when it needed to be done, which I paid for in the cost. All-in-all, I would definitely not recommend this company. They did not impress me.
