~Awww sweet review from my bride, love!~

Awwww! I got this amazing view from my dear friend and recent bride Piyali.  

Piyali and Jon's wedding was just simply AMAZING a few weeks ago!

 Can't wait to share photos and stories with all of you.

Thanks love!

"Ladies, look no further...hire this woman!!! As soon as I got engaged, I was certain that I wanted to design my wedding myself but wanted someone there to coordinate everything to make sure it all came together on the day-of. I researched pretty much every well-rated day-of coordinator in Seattle and ended up choosing Tamara because not only did she already have stellar reviews and offered so much for her day-of package, she was incredibly sweet and friendly and amazingly affordable and I knew she would be perfect! I'm a super organized, detail-oriented person and I had always assumed hiring a coordinator for wedding day would just be back up. Boy, was I wrong! It wasn't until wedding day that I realized how totally crazy things were going to get. Even with my obsessive planning, many things had to be changed or dealt with on the day of and many people had to be herded and I truly don't know what I would've done without someone there like Tamara who knew exactly what I wanted, down to the last detail and executed flawlessly so I could focus on my day, my groom, and have tons of fun. I almost forgot there were so many details I wanted coordinated perfectly until I saw everything done, perfectly, from the timing of things to decor items, to bridal party and family. Who would have kept everything on the planned timeline? Who would have laid out all the decor items exactly where I wanted them? Who would have fixed my veil every time it fell out and no one was around who knew how to put it back in? Who would have told bridal party where to go, stand, and cue them? I have no idea, but Tamara was absolutely perfect in executing my vision. My husband Jon and I were totally thrilled with her and can look back at our wedding day as perfect. Thank you!!!! :)"

Lucky girl over here! Thanks Piyali:)

{New review . . . Thanks Fahm and Ramus!}

What is sweeter to a wedding professional than an amazing review full of love from past clients?

(Alante Photography)

Pretty happy over here!

Check out this sweet bride's words . . . made my day!

"What can we say about Tamara?!?! NO WORDS can explain how happy we were with her. From the day my husband and I said we had chosen her to be our day of coordinator, she was eager to help us with everything. She had great advice on other vendors, and was very helpful when it came to our photo booth props (which EVERYONE LOVED). Tamara went out of her way and worked her butt off the day of our wedding so my husband and I had nothing to worry about. So if you want someone who is eager to help and go above and beyond her call of duties.. CHOOSE TAMARA NICOLE! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!"

~Sweet Review, Thanks Stephanie!~

"Tamara is a gem. She is easy to work with, positive, energetic, organized and professional! She has an abundance of great and creative ideas, and she knows how to work on a budget. Everything you could ever want in a wedding planner. We got so lucky with her! Thanks to her help our wedding ran smoothl and totally stress-free. The decorations were even better than we imagined, we loved our cupcakes (done by a vendor she works with), and overall we were just so glad she was there to help guide us through. We got so much praise not just from our guests but from our caterer, photographer, even my hair and makeup stylist because of how organized she was and how easy it was to communicate with her. It was like having one of my good friends plan my wedding! She is just fabulous. Thanks Tamara, you're the best!"

Stephanie YOU my dear are a gem.  So full of life and hilarious! LOVED your vows, like they were the best ever.  You and your dad's dance was the bomb.  I loved loved working with you and Eric and hope we can remain friends forever and ever!

(This is my talented photographer Gabriel Van Whye doing what it takes to get the perfect shot, of the GORGEOUS Stephanie!)

See I am such a lucky planner to have such amazing friends/clients, right?!

Right.

I have been getting so many more sweet words, will post them here with ALL of the amazing pics from my crazy summer full of weddings soon!

~Another Sweet Review! From Lindsey, thanks love!~

Awww I truly am blessed with amazing clients, who become good friends.  

Seriously.

(Garrett Davis Photography)

I have been texting with my bride from 5/19/12 to see how her honeymoon went:)

She let me know that she had written a review for me.

(yay!)

Checked it out and I am in awe.  Lindsey you are so sweet and I wish you and Mike the best life together, you two were SO fun and easy going and the wedding was purely perfect!

"Tamara did and amazing job, we used her for our day of coordinating which put our minds at ease! Not only does she make use that everyone is on schedule she even decorated the tables for the reception which was amazing! She is VERY creative and helpful, Tamara puts your mind at ease and is always there if you have questions or ideas. I would even text her late at night and she would get back to me either right away or the next day. Tamara is very affordable much better than a lot of other places I had looked into and she is ADORABLE,FUN,AND OUTGOING! Our pastor even made the comment that Tamara is the best coordinator that he has worked with and he's done hundreds of weddings! Choose Tamara and she will make your day spectacular and run very smooth!"

Awww thanks Lindsey!!! You just made my month:)

More photos from Garrett Davis Photography soon from this amazing wedding.

~Sweet Words~

Awww I woke up this morning to a super sweet endorsement from a fellow wedding vendor, David from 

Forever Together

 a FAB wedding officiant in the Seattle area.

"Working with Tamara is a genuine pleasure. She's full of energy and treats her clients like 

royalty. She takes everything in stride, even when things get crazy - consider her an

 island of tranquility in a sea of chaos! No hesitation whatever in recommending her to 

any couple looking for an outstanding planner."

Awww thanks David! It was a pleasure to work with you as well at Abiade and Ernie's wedding:)

~New News and Reviews~

Happy weekend lovelies!!!

I have a few updates this week:

I have received 2 fabulous new reviews from past clients.  These always make me teary eyed and super giddy to receive.  I spend a lot of time with these people, planning their biggest day.  We work hard together, cry, laugh, stress, smile, plan plan plan together.  We bond and become good friends. Soooo love them all!

Here are my 2 newest reviews this week:

"Tammy was absolutely amazing! I hired her as my day-of-coordinator for my October wedding and she went above and beyond my expectations! She was always so organized and met with me on multiple occasions with and without my wedding vendors. Tammy has a very sweet personality and she is definitely a people pleaser. She listens to your vision and has really good feedback and ideas that fit with your style. On the days leading up to my wedding she sent me multiple reassuring messages and knew just the right words to calm me down and to know it was all going to turn out great...and it did! Tammy goes above and beyond and I definitely recommend her!"

"Tamara was a great wedding planner and was very helpful with the planning, organizing and coordination on the wedding day. We have a family emergency that happened a couple weeks before the wedding and had to put a lot of responsibility on Tamara and she came through."

Love them!!!

Also more BIG NEWS!!!!!

I'm sure all of you have heard of BRIDES magazine.

You know, the BIGGEST wedding magazine ever.

Well I got a message from them yesterday that they wanted a few items from my  Etsy shop by Monday for a potential inclusion in their April magazine!!!

Ohhhhh Emmmm Geeee

I am beside myself.

Sent it overnight on them today and will keep my fingers crossed.

Maybe cross your fingers for me too?

~Blog Love~

Why happy Saturday to you all!

And what a gorgeous day it is here.

The hubby and I just got back from kayaking on Lake Washington,

Sooooo fun!

Anywho . . .

Just a quick post today . . . I wanted to share some amazing blog love I received on my 

FB fan page

the other day.  

"Tammy, I just wanted to let you know that even though I am not even close to getting married (no ring yet!) I look at your ideas every day and I am truly inspired! My wedding is slowing forming in my head with many of the ideas you post! Thank you for filling my head with beautiful things to distract me from work and everyday life" 

That just made my day! 

I mean of course I love to blog regardless, but it's a perk that I can do what I love AND hopefully inspire others!

Thanks for the sweet words dear. For serious!

I hope you all are enjoying your summer weekend! 

I am working away on my 3 upcoming weddings, so very excited!!!
