The best decision you’ll make!!

Don’t think you will need a wedding planner? Think again! You need Tracy and her team in your corner to help you navigate the ins and outs of the wedding world. Her expertise and professionalism are unmatched. She will move mountains for her clients. She does an excellent job of executing your vision and helping you find the best vendors for all aspects of your wedding. My whole experience with Tracy was nothing short of amazing, she does such a great job at listening and putting all your worries at ease. On my wedding day, I felt like I could truly relax because I knew that she was behind the scenes taking care of everything to make sure we had the best day (and we certainly did!). HIGHLY recommend Inked Events for your wedding or event! I really can’t imagine going through this whole process without Tracy!

10 out of 10 Recommend!

Our wedding caterer recommended Tracy at Inked Events to help us plan the design and decor for a wedding reception party we decided to host at our home with just 3.5 months to plan. What a godsend she was! Tracy was hands on, detailed and did her very best to help us find alternatives when we needed to stay within budget. I was able to relax on the day of our party, while she transformed our home with all the decor and florals we'd planned and then some. She also has a fantastic network of partner vendors that she happily coordinated introductions to when I decided last minute to add a guitarist and videographer to our wedding ceremony. 10 out of 10 recommend Tracy to anyone that is feeling overwhelmed, looking for a planner that will have your back and keep the details in order and you informed every step of the way. We loved working with Tracy!
Happy Bride & Groom, Lisa and Eric.

Best wedding decision we made BY FAR!

I'm not sure I will ever be able to put into words the amount Tracy did for our wedding. We worked hand in hand for two years to put every single detail together. I'll start by saying - I am EXTREMELY detail-oriented, type-A, and picky, and have a very hard time relying on others for help. My husband and I decided that hiring a planner was really the only way we could have a wedding. I am the oldest daughter of a broken family, and as fellow oldest daughters know, we always end up doing EVERYTHING and making sure everyone else is okay. We knew that I would need extra support in many ways, and Tracy filled all of those shoes for me tenfold.

Tracy is legitimately an angel on this earth. She is UNBELIEVABLE at what she does. Hiring her was BY FAR AND AWAY the best decision we made for our wedding. She is an absolute rockstar. You can tell right away how much Tracy genuinely cares about her couples and she really makes you feel like you have someone on your team through the whole process. There was not one email that went unanswered, not ONE detail that went missed, she truly exceeded every expectation I could have imagined, and THEN SOME.

Our coordinator that came with our venue left the company three weeks before our wedding, and we didn't even FLINCH. We KNEW Tracy had our backs and could handle EVERYTHING.

Before our wedding, I was already in AWE with Tracy. She was unbelievably kind, caring, organized, attentive, every word in the dictionary. But let me tell you - during the actual wedding events, that woman felt like a fictional character, plucked out of a movie to come and save us. Wedding fairy godmother couldn't be more fitting to describe Tracy.

Now that we had Tracy, I don't know how a couple would have done it without her and her team. She made a minute by minute timeline of the day and coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors. On our wedding day, she picked up all of the decor from our rehearsal dinner/welcome party, organized it, and dropped it off at our rental house. The night of our wedding, we stumbled back to our rental after the after party, to find that she had dropped off our cake and cards. We didn't take anything out of our bridal suite, thinking we would grab it all in the morning. Nope. That angel went and cleaned and organized all of it and dropped it all off at our rental as well. All weekend we found ourselves saying, "who the heck did that for us?? OMG, it must have been Tracy."

Just when we thought she was done and had done WAY more than we ever imagined, our fairy godmother went and dropped our marriage license off for us a few days after the wedding so we didn't have to drive back up out of our way.

This is a very long and messy review, but seriously... I texted her after the wedding saying to let me know if she ever needs a kidney, and I meant it. I'm not sure how the hell we got so lucky to find someone like Tracy and Inked Events, but she will be family to us forever and we absolutely ADORE her.

SHE IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY AND MORE, HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. WE LOVE YOU TRACY!!!!

10/10 isn't even enough to describe my experience

Tracy with Inked Events was truly INCREDIBLE to work with throughout the entire process. I tried to plan our wedding on my own and after two months decided I really needed help. Tracy stepped in and made it a million times easier and a lot more fun for us! She helped with every step of the way including sending me homework to keep me on track, reminders for upcoming payments due to vendors and more! The weekend of the wedding I had ZERO STRESS. Literally did not need to worry about one single thing the day of the wedding, I got the enjoy the morning getting ready with my girls and not have to worry if things are being done the way I wanted them. The set-up and everything done that day fully exceeded what I could have ever dreamed of. I would hire Tracy all over again and a million times for my wedding. Sounds dramatic, but truly made my bridal experience and our wedding day more magical than I could have ever wanted. Not to mention they were incredibly fun to have around the during the wedding day. THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Incredible Experience

Tracy was absolutely incredible to work with. She was extremely organized and responsive. She is an absolute expert in her space and all of my vendors said that she was hands down the best wedding planner they had worked with.

Wedding Review

Tracy is nothing short of amazing! As clients we were slow to respond and indecisive on almost every thing we choose. This did not once waver Tracy’s engagement or resolve on anything. We were needy clients who’s main focus was to throw a wedding we’re we felt just as much a guest as everyone else. Also keep in mind that we hired Tracy pre-pandemic, and not only was the wedding canceled on numerous occasions, but the first venue went out of business. Tracy was always there to help solve and replan time and time again, she was always friendly and willing to ensure we had the night of our dreams. The biggest thing for us is she never complained, argued or even charged us more, which after planning our wedding 5 times with different vendors and even a different venue would and probably should have been expected. Our wedding would not have been possible without her, not only did the plan she executed meet all of our needs but every aspect of the wedding was in our minds the best we were ever a part of, and for it being our wedding this was nothing short of a dream come true. The vendors she helped us find from the band to the quality of the food not only met but far exceeded any expectations we could have ever hoped for. If you are truly looking for not just a night to remember but the night you have dreamed of, Tracy is not just a great option but in our opinion the only option you should even think about. We can never thank or love her enough for the work she put into creating a loving, breathing version of the wedding anyone dreams of.

The best experience! Our fairy godmother

Hiring Tracy was one of the absolute best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. When personal circumstances meant we had to move our wedding to a new continent, country, and date four months before we planned to get married, I knew we needed someone special to help us pull it off. Tracy was such a miracle worker! We truly could not have had wedding we did without her. She was so efficient (responding to emails and texts incredibly quickly), patient, and fun, and we never felt the pressure of (re)planning a wedding in a short amount of time. The day itself was flawless and we got to enjoy every second without worrying (even when the reader was stuck in traffic, which we didn't know about until later on - Tracy takes care of it all!)

All we can say is that Tracy is truly a wedding superwoman (such as when I texted her several days after the wedding to ask if she knew where the guest book was - she responded within 20 seconds with the box number and size of the box..!) We're so excited that one of our best friends hired her as well, so we can see her again next year. Thank you for everything Tracy!!! We had the wedding of our dreams.

Tracy is Super Woman - more than just a service!

Where do I even begin reviewing Tracy? I guess 2018 when I first started my wedding planning and thus, my search for a planner!

Before I go into a lengthy review - because that's how I do - let's start with the TL;DR: If you are easily stressed, frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious, etc, getting a wedding planner is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Take it from me, an easily stressed, frustrated, etc person! And with Tracy, I'm being 100% legit when I say you could NOT find a better planner and person! Not only did Tracy listen to all my ideas, she helped me come to decisions I was unsure about and basically helped me every step of the way, and then some! Things I never would have even thought of - the smaller details when planning a wedding that tend to get over looked - Tracy helpfully reminded me of all it and advised me with everything! Tracy is truly Super Woman - and she doesn't stop, even when the wedding day comes to an end!

The meat of this review - because I cannot stress enough how above and beyond this woman has gone for me! I believe we first spoke in 2018, and she was immediately responsive to my emails. In fact, I think she was even out of the country or on vacation when I first emailed her. I got an automated response informing me of her return, but she still replied to my email to take a moment to talk with me. Throughout the whole initial process of planning, I had most of my vendors picked out, but she stayed on top of me, making sure I sent her invoices, contracts, receipts, contact info, etc, etc, etc.

We planned for a 2020 wedding. Everyone in the world can guess how this went - it needed to be rescheduled. I was furloughed, anxious as heck, and when I got the news, I was devastated. Tracy took care of EVERYTHING. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. While I stayed in bed and ate ice cream and mourned the wedding I didn't think I'd ever get, she was working around the clock, contacting all my vendors, rescheduling and re-planning, and by the end of the week, she presented me with several new date options - new dates that ALL my vendors had available, which seemed near impossible since vendors can be booked out 2 years in advanced! But this woman did it - and funny enough, one of the available dates was our original date - just in 2021 instead.

But she didn't stop there. Thankfully, I was able to turn my brain off on wedding stuff all summer while I dealt with being unemployed and stuck in the house. And even into the fall and winter, I didn't need to think about anything as I started back up at work. By the time 2021 hit, I was back in planning mode as new payments were approaching and invites needed to be worked on. And through it all, Tracy was never silent. She checked on me almost weekly, and as we dove back into planning, she was always asking how I was doing, if I was feeling excited again. Admittedly, I was still nervous about how 2021 would go, but Tracy always had a positive attitude that was contagious. She was so warm and thoughtful and supporting through it all, and of course, more organized than I could ever hope to be!!

Admittedly, 2021 was a worse year for me, dealing with the very hard losses of family and friends. Not only that, but just 2 short months before the wedding, while I was caring for my sick grandmother, my guitarist backed out, and I was in panic mode. Again, Tracy was immediately on the case as soon as I panic texted her! And with her help, and the help of all my friends, we were able to find another guitarist. Phew!

Just a couple weeks before - I was feeling good - we finally made it! But as luck would have it, there were more bumps in the road and uncertainty with whether my hairdresser would be able to make it. As she does - Tracy jumped into action, going so far as to ensuring that we had a hairdresser ON CALL for the entire weekend of the wedding. Fortunately, my hairdresser was able to come, but to think that Tracy was able to find someone willing to hang around in case we needed her in an emergency - I swear, this woman is Super Woman.

And that's EXACTLY how your wedding planner should be. If she's not swooping in to save your day, you are wasting your money. If someone ever tells you wedding planners are a waste of money, THEY ARE WRONG. Unless you have the kind of skill a planner does, even if you think you've got every tiny detail figured out - a planner will save you so much stress and heartache with every unimaginable bump in the road that may come up. Tracy is your Super Woman.

Yup, I'm gonna keep going. Not only did she spend 3 years with me planning the biggest day of my life, she was there for the entire day of the wedding. And for the first time in 3 years, I finally turned my brain off. When someone asked me what needed to be done next, I shrugged and said 'Talk to Tracy.'

When Tracy wasn't at my side, I would catch glimpses of her out the window while we were getting read, OWNING my wedding. From setting up and decorating, to wrangling vendors and telling them where to go and what to do. Her cape was flying - she did not stop. When it was time for pictures, she got everyone together where they needed to be before I even stepped out of the house. And when it came time to walk down that aisle, she was at my side with the biggest smile on both our faces!

If I was unsure of anything that day, I looked for her. She eased my worries so much that I didn't even notice the damn decorations I spent so much money and stress on! I didn't notice the aisle, the arbor, the flowers. I didn't see the dresses of my girls, the pants and vests of the guys. I only saw my hubby at the end of the aisle, waiting for me.

And all afternoon and evening, Tracy was there, making sure I was in all the places I needed to be for pictures, for dinner, for dancing. She made sure her team got me water and kept me hydrated, and when my glass was empty, there was suddenly another glass of water in my hand.

Throughout the day, I would direct everyone to Tracy if they had questions. Most of my party and family had not met her prior. I told them to look for the boss lady with the black shirt that said Inked Events. At the end of the night, as I was talking to friends, Tracy came up once more and I would point her out. And to everyone who I talked to and told about her, they all had the same general comments to make: SHE A BOSS. 'That lady got shit DONE.'

You think I'm done yapping now because I talked about the wedding. But Tracy doesn't stop after your wedding day. Unbeknownst to me (Thanks, Tracy!! I did not need that stress!!) one of our videographers could not make it, and a sub was sent in his place, 4 hours late. Fortunately, we still had one who was already there, working hard. But I had NO clue that someone was missing. He ended up approaching me later, apologizing for being late. I had no clue what he was talking about, so I shrugged and smiled and said whatever! I didn't find out until the next day exactly what had happened - Tracy took care of all of that! And just a couple days after the wedding, she was emailing the vendor asking if a refund would be issued to be since I paid for 8 hours for 2 people and only got 4 hours out of one guy.

Sure, if Tracy wasn't there, I would have been able to call and ask myself about a refund. But I also would have had the stress of being told one of our videographers is missing, while getting my hair and makeup done, and would have had to figure out how to deal with that, who to call, what to do. Like a bride needs that kind of stress on her big day!

Tracy is a super hero. I didn't type all of this to tell you she's a great choice for a planner. If you read this far, you don't want to hear that she's a great planner. You want to know her super powers. You want to know that your vision - and your day - can be trusted with this woman. That she is worth the money (and if you ask me, she should be paid so much more!!) That she cares and is invested in you and your day. Tracy is not just a great planner. She is not just a service. And she is not just a woman. She is the BEST planner. She is the BEST service. She is a true friend. She is Super Woman.

"Simply the best!"

Better than all the rest..better than anyone! Our wedding song has many purposes! Aside from my amazing husband who is THE best, Tracy at Inked Events is the STANDARD in her field.
Hired prior to the pandemic, we all entered uncharted territory together. Tracy helped us through the thick if it all, remaining ever positive and honest. She stick by our sides no matter what decision we came to. Like many others, we postponed our wedding and reception about three times. Thankfully, we kept the final date we chose and were lucky to have been able to have the full reception and wedding I always dreamed of.
I have to say I don't remember much from my wedding, because I didn't have to stress about anything. Pandemic aside, I was high on love, beauty, and carefree. I wish that every bride can feel the exact same feelings that I experienced; and they can with Tracy.
You, future bride, can be smart with your money. Weddings are an expense, and having just been married, yah. I get it. However, what I can offer is that the investment into a planner such as Tracy comes with immesurable return. After all, you won't be planning this again! Life is unpredictable and happens at a rate in which we all are hard pressed to find joy. So, let Inked Events help. It WILL be worth it. You WILL be so thankful and most importantly, you will have the opportunity to experience the happiness that YOU DESERVE!
I am forever grateful to Tracy, and adore her so. With her boundless talent, she gifted us and our families such beautiful memories.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

As an entertainment company regularly contracted for several wedding related services in the New England region, my crew has worked alongside several wedding planners. Tracy and her carefully selected team of professionals at Inked Events are by leaps and bounds the most organized, unique and fun group that I have had the honor of working with. Over the past several years I have witnessed and executed Tracy's diligent and incredibly fun approach to wedding planning. I could speak to her incredible event leadership but it is Tracy's magnetic personality that makes her a bride's perfect partner in this crazy world of weddings.

Inked Events is the most organized, well prepared wedding planner I have had the pleasure of working with. As a fellow wedding vendor, I so appreciate the advance information that she shares with every member of the couple's wedding team, which creates a seamless and prepared wedding day experience for the couple. Her timelines make the most efficient use of all vendors, allowing everyone to do their job to the best of their ability. I look forward to working with her skilled team again in the future.
