Our wedding was planned in the span of 3 months. It was also a multi-denominational military lesbian wedding - it could not have been more complex based on that. We hired Tracy for partial planning due to a multitude of time constraints and having to be secretive due to the nature of the wedding. I had hoped for a good helper and sounding board - with Tracy, we got so much more than that. A staunch professional who helped us with everything from finding amazing vendors to dealing with stressed out family members. Her day-of coordination made our wedding go off without a hitch. I am normally a stressed out control freak. But on the day of our wedding, I had the confidence to let her take care of everything and focus on saying my vows right and not tripping down the aisle. Her flexibility, wedding experience and can-do attitude eliminated any issues that arose without missing a beat. I highly recommend Tracy's services from anything from day-of coordination to full planning - though with full planning, you will benefit the most. We aren't rich people but she is reasonably priced and worth every penny!

i cannot begin to describe how wonderful working with tracy on our fall d.i.y. wedding was for both christofer and i. i tend to have very grand ideas and, as a wedding photographer, i knew exactly how i wanted the wedding to look and feel. throughout the planning process tracy was wonderful not only in keeping me realistic in what could be accomplished but also in supporting me in the ideas we insisted we have.

one of the most important things tracy did for us was provide amazing support and advice in our self-catering adventure. my husband was insistent that we self-cater the event ~ large family meals were a significant part of his growing up experience and making a meal for the family was very important to him. knowing that he would plan an intricate meal, it became critical that we have kitchen support. tracy introduced us to an amazing personal chef who gave us meal suggestions, she participated in a conference call the week of the wedding with my husband and the chef, and facilitated the relationship between my husband and chef on the day of the wedding. my husband did all the cooking and initial prep, and the chef took over from there in warming and serving the meal. without tracy, we would have been at a loss the day of and infinitely more stressed.

on the day of the wedding itself, in addition to helping with all the d.i.y. set-up and making some final decorative bows (because i changed my mind last minute about how i wanted to decorate the ceremony site i think i may have been a nightmare bride), she wrangled our large family, helped with the food service, made sure all the children were occupied, and generally kept us on schedule and on track. i could not have made it through the day without her.

I can honestly say that hiring Events to a T as my wedding planner was the best decision I made in the whole wedding process. My husband and I were on an extremely limited budget and it was only through Tracy's creativity and guidance that we were able to pull off a really elegant and fun day. She was totally responsive to the zillion emails I sent during the planning process and reassured me every time I started to get stress. I truly cannot imagine having done this without her and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Events to a T was fantastic! Tracy Leaman is extremely professional, knows the business completely and had great vendor recommendations. Our wedding was perfect and I am so glad I found Events to a T. I would highly recommend Events to a T to any couple!

I recommend to every bride and groom to do your planning for a memorable and beautiful day that even you will have a good time! Tracy, founder of Events to a T was sent to us from heaven. My fiance (now husband) were thrilled in every process of the way. Tracy recommended vendors, and was there in every meeting and selections we made for invitations, flowers etc. She was on top of things which made the process more relaxing and enjoyable for us. Family, friends, and ourselves are still talking about everything about the wedding. I never had such a great time at a party. And so did everyone who was there!

Tracy at Events to a T was my savior through this process. In the beginning, I thought I wouldn't be able to afford a wedding planner and attempted to do it all on my own. I became overwhelmed with the plethora of choices that needed to be made. I am a teacher, thus I didn't have time to call vendors and reply to them during the business day. Once I found Tracy, and her partial package which was affordable and perfect for what I needed, I was able to be free of much of my anxiety! Anytime I had a question about a design idea, she was right there with multiple ideas for each of my questions. Her vendors were professional and brilliant. I didn't see my bouquet until the day of the wedding (Tracy picked it out with my florist) and I must say that it was exactly what I wanted. Also, whenever we were running short on time to complete a task, she jumped right in and completed it for us. It was so nice to have someone like her supporting me through a challenging and stressful process.

Additionally, Tracy had to navigate two Fathers (mine and my husband's) who are very particular about what needed to happen and how it needed to happen. She handled all the insanity with stern grace! I didn't have to worry about anything the day of because I knew Tracy was there. She was calm, professional, knowledgeable, and creative.

Tracy was a total treat and pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!

We hired Events to a T for "day of coordination" for our wedding. Tracy Leaman went above and beyond what I expected in every regard. Throughout the planning period, she was incredibly generous with her time, responding immediately to phone and email, and meeting in person several times. The site manager for our wedding remarked that ours was the most organized wedding she had ever seen. Our parents, doubtful at first that we needed an event coordinator, said that "there is no way we could have done it without her," and "bringing in Tracy was the best decision that we made."

Tracy Leaman at Events to a T was amazing, and so detail oriented! She made sure that everything ran completely smoothly both before and the day of the wedding. I was organizing my wedding from out of the country, and I couldn't have done it without her. She went above and beyond my expectations and is definitely the perfect choice for all things wedding.

Our wedding was not simple. The venues were unusual. Our choices during the ceremony were creative. There were security issues to be navigated, some expected and some completely out of the blue. Through it all, Tracy maintained her cool and was amazingly effective and efficient. Before the day itself, she did an incredible job of lining up all the vendors and coordinating with both my mother and me to ensure that we were all working from the same set of understandings about essential details and elements of the wedding. I cannot recommend Events to a T highly enough, and am so grateful that Tracy was a part of our nuptials.

Tracy Leaman was extraordinarily professional, accessible, tasteful, knowledgeable and unflappable. Even when a bomb scare temporarily closed our wedding venue, Tracy was able to reassure guests and keep the celebration moving. From coordinating and recommending vendors to helping with invitation language and design to conducting military rehearsals, Tracy was impressive and inspiring. I would recommend Tracy without ANY reservation to any future bride!

I really enjoyed working with Tracy. She was always very professional, prompt and easy to work with. I had a large wedding party with a lot of children and she kept full control over the event at all times. I highly recommend Tracy to any bride or anyone looking for an event coordinator. I plan to use her for future events as well.

Tracy is a true professional and expert in her field. She was very organized and built a plan based on the needs of my bride and family. She is a DC insider and is an expert on venues to hold events of any size in the DC metro area. I was also very impressed with her enthusiasm. I would recommend Tracy to any individual, family, corporation or nonprofit that is looking for professional and expertise service.

Tracy from Events to a T coordinated the day of our destination wedding in Bar Harbor, Maine. I can't say enough good things about my experience with her. I never would have been able to imagine how hectic things can be on the day of your wedding, and it was an enormous relief to have Tracy handling all of the details of the day. I got so many compliments from my friends and family, who agreed that things ran so smoothly and so perfectly. I would recommend Events to a T to any bride who wants to be able to enjoy her day without having to worry that things won't turn out the way she imagined them.

Tracy did a great job taking care of all of our day-of coordinator needs. She was super organized, well connected in DC, and professional. A joy to work with!
