Hiring Tanya as our month-of coordinator was by far the best decision we made during the planning process. Our only regret was not finding her sooner so we could have done a full plan with her! To anyone on the fence about hiring a coordinator, or wondering which direction to turn - HIRE TANYA IMMEDIATELY, she is THAT amazing.
We had a pretty rough time with wedding coordinators before we found Tanya. First, we hired someone for a partial plan who we quickly found out was not who she represented herself to be. After that experience, I did not want to commit to another full or partial plan, and I found another month-of coordinator. 6 weeks before the wedding she suddenly quit on us, leaving us without any coordination at all.
I was extremely hesitant to sign on with anyone else - I was also panicking at the prospect of being so close to the date without anyone to help coordinate, so my mom took on the task of finding us someone else. She gave me Tanya's information, and I sent over a request for an initial consultation.
I was so impressed by how quick her response time was - almost immediately, I received confirmation of our meeting, and we spoke on the phone the next morning. From my first conversation with Tanya, I could tell that she was the perfect fit. Her bubbly personality and infectious enthusiasm put me at ease, and I left our conversation feeling hopeful that we would have the day of our dreams.
I hired Tanya 6 weeks before the wedding, and in those 6 weeks, she did more than my previous coordinator had in a year and a half. She came to my rehearsal and asked all the questions I didn't even think of, and she was there for my final details meetings with my venue and my floral and decor vendor. She always made time for me (and subdued all of my panicked thoughts) whether it was 9:30 AM or 11:00 PM. There was no task too big or too small. She truly loves her job and will do whatever she can to make your day perfect.
On the day of the wedding, she took care of everything - and I mean everything. From fluffing my dress and veil, to wrangling our puppy for photos, to organizing what felt like one million family members, Tanya managed it all. She took care of every detail and ensured nothing was out of place. We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Tanya, and we could not be more grateful.
My sister in law hired Tanya for her wedding two days after mine. All of our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and organized the day was. After the wedding, I found out how many glitches really happened during the day, and the fact that we knew nothing about them is a true testament to how amazing Tanya is at her job. She is passionate about what she does, and her goal is to make sure all of her brides have the most beautiful day. And, if you have Tanya by your side, you absolutely will.
Thank you Tanya for giving us the most beautiful day - it was absolutely everything we could have hoped for and more!
