You need to work with Tara and PPP!

My fiance (now husband) and I worked with Tara for partial planning from March 2024-June 2025.

We spoke with Tara early in the planning process and immediately knew she was the perfect planner for us! For starters, Tara is possibly the friendliest person you will ever meet. We could tell from our initial conversation that she knows her stuff - stuff we definitely would not have thought of or been prepared for. She answered every question we had throughout the planning process and helped us understand not only what would be the best decision for our guests, but what would help us keep our wedding authentic to us as a couple. When it looked like we would need to pivot on several things (umbrellas, rain plan, etc.) the week/day of our wedding, Tara kept us informed and kept us calm. From the first phone call we had with her to our grand exit, Tara handled everything with grace and ease.

To put it plainly, Tara was the perfect fit for our wedding in every way. Working with Tara was by far the best decision we made throughout wedding planning. We are so grateful to her and the rest of the Premier Party Planners team for executing the best day of our lives. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, you do. If you think you want anyone other than Tara and Premier Party Planners, you don't!

If you want the wedding of your dreams, hire Tara!

Hiring Tara from Premier Party Planners was hands-down one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding journey. I started off as a totally frantic mess with no clue how all the pieces would come together. Tara brought our vision to life in a way that was more beautiful, thoughtful, and seamless than I ever imagined possible.

She truly thinks of everything—details we never would have considered were handled with care and precision. From our first planning meeting to the final send-off, she executed every part of our day with such grace, professionalism, and calm. If there were any hiccups, we never knew about them. Tara handled everything behind the scenes so we could be fully present, soaking in every moment.

Our guests are still telling us it was the “best wedding ever,” and we have Tara to thank for that. She created an atmosphere that was not only stunning, but warm, joyful, and completely “us.”

We are endlessly grateful for Tara and the team at Premier Party Planners. If you’re looking for someone who will bring your dream wedding to life while keeping you sane and smiling, look no further. Tara is truly a miracle worker!

Premier Party Planners is the best of the best. Hands down. Without a doubt.

My husband and I are wedding photographers and videographers based in eastern NC. We've had the absolute privilege of working with the Premier Party team about 10 times over the last 5 or 6 years. They are always our number one recommendation when our clients ask for planning/coordination referrals. Always. Every single Premier lead planner is kind, organized, pleasant, open to suggestions, thoughtful, prompt with e-mail communications, and simply amazing at what they do. Their assistants have an amazing way of blending in seamlessly to the day but also being present as an extra set of friendly, helpful hands for whatever is needed. The team is always professional with the guests. They think on their toes and take the lead whenever anything isn't going exactly to plan. If you are on the fence about working with Premier or hiring a planning team in general, DO IT. I can almost guarantee it will be the best decision you make in the wedding planning process.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
