What They’re Saying

  • A Happy Bride

    We had an amazing wedding day, and that in large part was due to our amazing wedding coordinator, Tess! Everything we needed was accomplished instantly. The whole night flowed without flaw due to Tess's constant attention to the details we had drawn out. She kept everyone on target, most of all our extremely large wedding party! Tess was on top of everything, from answering our vendors questions to asking vendors to extend their time to making sure I took all of the photos I wanted! I recommend anyone to hire a wedding coordinator so that you don't have to deal with anything the day of, and that wedding coordinator should definitely be Tess!

  • Thrilled Bat Mitzvah Mom!

    Tess was by far the best planner I have ever worked with! I used her for my daughters Bat Mitzvah. She helped with all things leading up to the big day and always want above and beyond to answer questions and bring great ideas. She did the day of the event and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

  • It WAS a Happy Birthday!

    Nothing better than walking into your own party and everything is done better than you would ever do it! Planning a party has never been easy for me and you made it fun and stress-free!
