Book Tonya as your planner NOW!

I really can't say enough good things about Tonya. If you just got engaged and are reading this - reach out to her right now!!!

As a wedding planner, she's organized, thoughtful, honest, and an absolute expert at her craft. She knows what's in-style, knows how to create an environment that matches your vision, and focuses on the details that matter. But beyond that, Tonya is one of the best people we know - she's someone who genuinely cares. She has been nothing but supportive through an especially difficult planning process (especially with COVID-19 - we had to postpone our original date) and regularly texts us just to check in and see how we're doing. She even spent time with us - on our original wedding day - to site and commiserate in a socially distant way.

Again, I cannot say enough good things about Tonya...if you've read this far down, just go ahead and reach out to her!!!

Excellent!

Tonya was great. Informative, personable and organized. She made the day completely stress-free. She handled everything from pinning my fiancé, the groom (pic included) to supplying ear plugs for our niece. She took that family photo and basically assisted anyone that asked - she was great. Everyone in my family loved her and thought she was wonderful.
She went to a tasting with me, meetings - you name it and she was always available to answer questions. She knows Saratoga well and had connections to local business owners.
I’ll miss her, I felt like we became friends.

Tonya was top-notch. We would highly recommend.

Couldn't Have Done It Without Tonya

Wedding planning is stressful enough, but throw in a global pandemic and it's otherworldly stress. Tonya was amazing before we were faced with this unknown, but an absolute rock star in helping us navigate this new world. From contacting vendors, to rescheduling, to communicating with us, she kept it all calm & moving. But let's talk about before the pandemic: Tonya was so incredible. She listened to our vision and was instrumental in helping pick the best vendors (whom she was able to get because of her relationships) to fulfill that vision. She listens. She offers solutions. She has great ideas. She is definitely an asset for every couple and worth every penny.

The best of the best - hands down!

Simply put - Tonya was outstanding, from beginning to end! From our first meeting, I was positive I had made the right choice and felt a sense of relief and excitement knowing that the planning and execution would be stress free and fun! With a warm personality, impeccable taste, and a resume to beat the band, Tonya worked hard to put us in touch with excellent vendors who fit our vision, and matched our attitudes to a T.

The wedding weekend was an absolute dream and smooth sailing from beginning to end - Which we and our families entirely attribute to Tonya’s unmatched talent for the demanding craft of Wedding Coordination!

We couldn’t possibly give her a higher recommendation unless Wedding Wire was willing to add a few extra stars to their survey! Hiring Tonya was the best wedding gift we could have given ourselves and we’ll be singing her praises over the years to come!

We love you tonya!

We first met tonya a year before our wedding. we loved her demeanor and found her so easy to get along with. we are pretty lazy and she was absolutely wonderful about making sure that we met the deadlines we needed to without ever making us feel bad. she was always very professional and very patient with us throughout the entire process. We also found ourselves really trusting her in terms of her input on our choices. We had no idea what we were doing, and she was always there to guide us in a way that never made us feel stupid. She has truly amazing taste and was able to incorporate her knowledge into what we wanted for our wedding in an extremely professional way. Tonya really shined on the day of the wedding. she made everything go so smoothly and always had us in mind in terms of what we needed on a personal level. it made us feel so much better knowing that she was there, really keeping our best interest in mind the entire time. we ended up spending quite a bit of time with her throughout the process and feel like we have a new friend that we will have for a long time. we absolutely loved her and would recommend her to anyone. Tonya, we love you! and we hope to spend so much more time hanging out downtown in the future!!!

Tonya is the best!

Tonya is the best! She is a wealth of knowledge about local vendors and has great relationships with them, knows how to make a ceremony and reception flow seamlessly, takes charge and is assertive when the moment requires it but also knows intuitively when to let go of the reins and let all parties enjoy the very complex wedding planning process. No detail is left behind and she has great style and suggestions to boot. Perhaps my favorite aspect of working with Tonya is her honesty, she's not going to sugarcoat anything. If something is not going to work, she will let you know and will come up with a creative solution to any problem that may arise. In every moment of working with her, we knew that our best interests were her top priority. If you put your trust in her, she will deliver. A true professional!

Absolutely amazing!

Tony’s is a true professional. She made our day seamless and provided us the luxury of not having to think about or worry about a single thing because she took care of literally everything. Not only were we right on schedule but we were even a bit early arriving to our first look, ceremony venue and reception hall. Without her our wedding parties would have been lost. She kept the day flowing perfectly and coordinated with our other vendors all day to ensure our wedding day was exactly how we dreamt it would be. Her assistant was also a pleasure to work with and was on top of everything, including hair placement and dress placement throughout all of our pictures (this was a huge plus!). For those of you contemplating getting a wedding coordinator - DON’T! I can’t imagine not having these wonderful women by my side all day long making sure EVERY aspect of our day, and planning leading up to it, was stress free and truly perfect!

I cannot thank you enough, Tonya, for all that you did to make our wedding day exceptional!!

Best Investment

My Husband and I planned our wedding from over 4,000 miles away. Tonya was our eyes and ears on the ground helping ensure the vision we had came to life the day of. She was instrumental in ensuring our day was a great success not only for us but for the experience of our guests which was very important to us. Thank you Tonya!

Tonya was amazing!! She went above and beyond at our wedding on June 23rd. Leading up to our wedding the weather was not looking good at all. She contacted our rental place and made sure they brought a bigger tent for us. She was on point with everything that needed to be done. We couldn't be happier with Tonya! I would totally recommend her for anyone's wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
