Tara was truly exceptional to work with in planning our multicultural wedding! We came to her with a compressed 7-month timeline to plan a celebration drawing from Indian, Chinese ...
and Jewish cultures and she executed every detail flawlessly and with utmost professionalism. She perfectly captured the tone we set forth for our event and brought together an impressive set of partners for every step in the process. We really appreciated how Tara is organized, easy to communicate with, and super receptive taking our feedback on even the smallest details, to make sure we had our dream wedding! From coordinating a baraat that included lion dancers, to a candy buffet and helping us find a beautiful custom cake - Tara did it all! Her hospitality background comes through in her attention to detail and focus on guest and family experience - we really appreciated this and so did everyone who attended. We would highly recommend Tara as a planner in bringing a dream multicultural wedding to life!
Tara is an incredible wedding planner. From day 1, she was always on top of our needs/preferences, the work to be done, and making sure everyone was stress-free. She put in so much...
effort to understand what we really wanted and what we envisioned the day to be like. She did a great job planning a fusion wedding that balanced multiple events, two cultures, and two religions. She really helped us coordinate our dream wedding, there wasn't a single aspect that could have been better. She worked so well with our vendors as well as our family members, bridesmaids, guests etc. Thank you Tara and team for everything you've done!
Tara is the most thorough planner we have ever worked with & leaves no detail to chance. She went above & beyond for our wedding. We did a lot of the planning ourselves & decided t...
o hire Tara for Month of Services. But we quickly realized that we missed so much expertize and guidance in the planning process and had taken too much on. Several items were falling through the cracks & we were stressed the final months leading up to our wedding. I called Tara to share this with her & she swooped in with her team to review all our contracts & combed through all our wedding details. She spotted several important area’s that we needed to adjust & offered great suggestions to improve our event in terms of staffing, lighting rentals, logistics and the small personal touches. Tara saved the day.
I worked with Tara on my wedding and to be honest, it was the most amazing experience. She responds to emails almost instantly, she totally helped to be a mediator between my in la...
ws and I as we sometimes had very different thoughts. Overall she just did a fabulous job. She was excited about our wedding and had this energy about event the small details. She's down to earth and easy to work with. She would honestly tell us if she thought something was too basic or too over the top. She helped us navigate with invitation wording when we were planning an adult only event. She also helped us stay on budget by being honest & realistic upfront about expenses & showing us where to save and where to invest. She reeled us back in when we were considering overspending on minor details. We had a small hiccup with one of the vendors on our wedding day with the cake flowers, but because Tara and her team were prepared, had pictures of our vendor meetings they knew everything that was going on and were able to catch it and fix it before the wedding started. We had no idea and would have never known all the little things she did behind the scene. If you want a great wedding planner who provides true value and support to elevate your wedding & planning experience, look no further than Tara and the whole company at Tara M. Events.
HANDS DOWN the best event planning company I have ever worked with in NYC or anywhere. My family hosts a lot of social celebrations and there have been several weddings in our fami...
ly all handled seamlessly by Tara M. Events. The events are dreamy, thoughtful and creative, everything you could imagine. The attention to detail and dedication to creating a spectacular event is incredible. Whatever venue, location or style you choose Tara will make it happen.
Tara is amazing! She worked with me over a year to plan my two-day Indian wedding. She was supportive throughout the process and always one step ahead. She was able to juggle multi...
ple requests, dealing with differing opinions and suggestions from me and my parents. Being a business school student, I was extremely busy throughout the year, so I am grateful that I had Tara to attend meetings on my behalf and negotiate any contracts as needed. Tara was also able to give me some unique ideas that I would not have found on my own - we ended up hiring a really cool sketch artist from Elan Artists, who the guests really enjoyed. We wouldn't have had him if Tara had not given us the suggestion. Most importantly for us is that Tara was able to manage our two-day Indian wedding with 300+ guests. She was also appreciative and understanding of the difference in culture between my family and my husband's family. She was able to manage our needs, wants and cultural differences appropriately so both families were happy.
Tara is extremely friendly and a smiling face, which definitely something you need during the stress that is wedding planning. Tara and her team (especially Claire who assisted me throughout the wedding) did a great job making my wedding memorable.
Hiring Tara M. Events was the BEST decision we ever made. Nothing can prepare you for how much work wedding planning is, until you are in the middle of it & realize that you are in...
over your head & need professional help. I wish we hired Tara sooner - but she came to the rescue & helped take over the planning process & guided us smoothly through all the decisions we had to make & kept us on track, on schedule. Towards the end we are all laughing again and and enjoying the process. We would 100 percent recommend a wedding planner to everyone out there & Tara is the among the very best. Tara helped guide & maximize our budget, she showed us why certain vendors need to be invested in and the importance of timings on the wedding so we would not be rushed & had time for all the things important to us.
From the bottom of our heart, thank you Tara!

You understood my busy schedule and made the wedding planning process easy. I don't know how anyone plans a wedding without a coordinator. I was not stressed at all because I knew you had everything under control and every detail covered.
Thank you for making my wedding a weekend I will never forget. I highly recommend Tara M Events! Thank you for everything.

s with ease. She is certainly one of a kind in the wedding planning world! From the little details to all the big organizational and scheduling needs, she had it all covered. Tara and her team helped me deal with all of my questions, communications with vendors and small hiccups without breaking a sweat. I am usually a control freak but I felt very comfortable relinquishing a lot of this control to Tara. Haha. I recommend her services to any and every bride or groom out there!
I have to say thank you to Tara for the AMAZING SERVICE & experience planning our wedding. She really understood us and what we had envisioned for our wedding day and she made it...

.
It was so hard for us to organize our wedding in New York while we were in Ecuador. So we decided to look for a wedding planner to help us. I can definitely say that choosing Tara was the best decision we made. She adjusted to our budget, she took care of everything; she helped us to make our wedding unforgettable.
I defenitly recommend Tara, I give her 10 points.
Spanish:
Tara es increíble, es una hermosa persona.
Mi esposo y yo somos de Ecuador, Sur América; casarnos en Manhattan era nuestro sueño hecho realidad, por qué nos conocimos por primera vez en Nueva York y en esta ciudad creció nuestro amor. Fue muy difícil para nosotros organizar nuestro matrimonio en Nueva York mientras estábamos en Ecuador. Entonces decidimos buscar a una Wedding planner que nos ayude con toda la organización. Ella se ajustó a nuestro presupuesto, se preocupo por todo el evento e hizo que nuestro matrimonio sea inolvidable.
Definitivamente recomiendo a Tara, y le doy 10 puntos.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Tara. With only 6 months to plan our wedding, I knew that finding a wedding planner was a necessity. Tara M. Events was the firs...
t planner I contacted and after we spoke I did not feel the need to search for any other planners. Once I spoke with Tara and we chatted out my wedding ideas and how she could help, all of my worries were put at ease right away.
Tara was really great about communicating with us and keeping us updated on everything that was going on. She made us feel like we were the only couple she was attending to. We did not have to worry about anything from finding the perfect venue, photographer, band, and florist, Tara took charge of everything, all the research and selections and made it easy for us to simply choose what we liked best. Tara also made sure we stayed on budget as that we really important to us. Tara & her team's creativity and attention to detail, helped turn our dream wedding into reality.

We had our big fat South Asian Wedding in NJ last fall. It was a 3 day wedding celebration with over 300 guests. There were so many things so consider; venues, transport, food, out...
of town guests, and we knew we needed help. Tara came recommended by my mom's friend. We had never worked with a planner before so we weren't sure if we really needed one. But as the planning continued we were in over our head and desperately needed someone to mediate and advise us! OMG hiring Tara was the BEST decision we made. She took over the myriad of correspondence going on with venues and vendors and took away a lot of the stress. We felt we were in experienced hands through the whole process. Our wedding was a glorious celebration and our guests were thrilled every moment by the decor, food, activities, logistics and all the little things Tara suggested we incorporate to make our wedding AMAZING! We could not have done it without her help and guidance!
Tara & team were amazing!!! We had done most of the planning ourselves by the time we came to her, as we really needed help bringing it all together on the day of. Tara worked with...
me from the month of our wedding to finalize timelines, confirm vendors, run rehearsal, and of course coordinate everything on the day of our wedding. We could not be happier with the job she did in helping us create a schedule and timeline that we felt really good about, and seeing how she turned our vision into a reality to make our ceremony and reception pure perfection! Tara was super friendly and easy to work with. She listened to what I was envisioning, and really made sure that our wedding day was beautiful and perfect! She made sure that anything we might have needed was taken care of before we even realized we needed something. She was super organized and I was not worried about a single thing the whole day & night. Thank god for that! I highly recommend her!
We cannot thank Tara enough for coordinating our beautiful wedding last December. With her hard work and care she made sure that our day was enjoyable and stress free. She handle...

Tara was very attentive and listened to our needs, she paid attention to all the details. Tara was not only proficient, but warm and personable and we now feel like family friends. She made us feel like our day was the most important day of her life. It was such a blessing to have her as our coordinator. Her experience in planning, logistics and coordination greatly exceeded our high expectations. Not only will we never forget our special day but we will also recommend Tara and company to anyone who inquires. Thank you for the beautiful memories.
