Absolutely amazing!!

Tammy was absolutely incredible and truly went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding planning process. We chose the partial planning package and as an out-of-state bride it ended up being an absolute dream. Tammy handled so much more than we ever expected and was always just a phone call away whenever we had questions or needed guidance.
She gave us amazing vendor recommendations and being able to use some of her decor items was incredibly helpful, especially planning from out of state. Every vendor immediately felt at ease when they heard we were working with Tammy because they knew everything would be organized and taken care of.
On the wedding day itself, everything went off perfectly. Tammy made our day even more beautiful than we could have imagined and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She handled it all so we could just enjoy every moment. We truly could not have done it without her. Tammy helped us plan and execute our dream wedding, and we are so grateful for everything she did!

10 out of 10. Tammy is a superstar.

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.

Breathe easy with Tammy!

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!

Incredible, so thankful.

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!

Great experience!

Being an out of state bride to be is hard….and planning that wedding out of state more than 1100 miles away is even harder. I did a lot of research when looking for a wedding planner as I knew trying to do it on my own would not be the best idea. Special Moments stuck out to me when I found them. I was able to set up an intro call with Tammy, which was extremely helpful. She was honest, told me what I could expect, what they could do for me, and comforted me with the fact that she has helped plan A TON of out of state weddings. Based on that conversation, we absolutely picked Special Moments to help us make our big day possible. We selected the partial planning package and let me tell you, that was the perfect option for us! We hit some bumps in the road as we were planning but Tammy constantly reassured us that everything would be fine and made sure of that! She helped us find hotel blocks, created our seating chart and name tags, let us ship several items to her warehouse for the rehearsal dinner, and more! She is extremely responsive, detail oriented, and passionate about making your vision come to life. I have told everyone that our wedding day went absolutely perfect and if anything went wrong, I had no idea! It was truly the most smooth day and I attribute a lot of that to Tammy’s guidance! I can’t recommend the services enough!

Wonderful and professional

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
