About

Hey there! I'm Tammy. I specialize in working with free spirited brides who are looking for a wedding planner that totally gets them! My goal is to understand your vision and coordinate the logistics so that your wedding day reflects your unique, authentic style.

I am based in Newport News VA. Although most of my weddings occur here, I am willing to travel between Cape Charles VA and Richmond VA - and even further if that's what my couples need.

Wedding Day Management/Day of Wedding is my most popular package but I also offer partial wedding planning. Custom services are available to ensure you get all the support you need.

My motto: your wedding, your way! Let's do it.

Excellent Service and Fantastic People

My wife and I hired Simply Grand Events for wedding-day coordinator services and we could not have been happier with our choice. Tammy helped us execute our dream wedding by working with us through our planning process and organizing the logistics on our big day. Tammy and her assistant kept our entire wedding on schedule - which is a testament to their years of experience in the industry, professionalism, and time taken to familiarize themselves with our vendors + wedding party. It was a pleasure to work with Tammy and we would happily recommend her to others looking for wedding/event planning services.

No Need to Look Any Further - Simply Grand Events is Simply Amazing

I hired Simply Grand Events (Tammy) to coordinate my October 14, 2023, wedding and hired her for event planning services. Tammy did an outstanding job, and feedback from my wedding guest was excellent. Everything was beautiful! I was extremely pleased with Tammy’s services, and I highly recommend her. She was responsive, pleasant, professional, creative, and detailed oriented. She listened well so she could understand my wants and needs, and she turned them in to a reality. Her pricing was reasonable as well. You cannot go wrong with Tammy! Hire her; you will be delighted you did!!

Simply Grand Events saved the day…..

I highly recommend their coordination services! Mrs. Tammy was able to come in the week of my wedding and add a special touch, that pulled it all together, and bought the order needed to ensure my day was extra extraordinary. It truly was a perfect day.

Mrs. Mills coordinated our wedding on October 23, 2015 at Holiday Inn North Beach in Virginia Beach. From day one, Tammy was on top of things in terms of planning our perfect wedding. With both bride and groom living more than two hours away from the venue, Tammy did a wonderful reassuring us that all was well and well-taken care of. When we were able to make trips to Virginia Beach, Tammy made sure she was there for every appointment with vendors, as well as every venue we needed to travel to - even on Sunday. Tammy was prompt, professional, and was willing to adapt to make everything perfect in the months leading up to our big day, as well as those critical days shortly prior, and the big day itself (which went off without a hitch by the way). She went out of her way numerous times to make sure every detail was in order, from getting us special uplighting and pipe/drape, to making sure we had silverware at our reception after the cutting of the cake (when the venue failed to handle that little detail lol). Over the ten months leading up to our special day when we hired Tammy, she became like a family member. She was more than willing to work around our busy schedules, and worked late hours to make we got everything we wanted, all at a very affordable price. On the day of our wedding, she was very organized, prepared, calm and patient, which allowed everything to run smoothly. Mrs. Mills is an excellent wedding planner, and I would recommend Mrs. Mills for all events!!

Ms. Tammy was the absolute best! When Major & I first met w/ Ms. Tammy, I explained that I was a "needy" bride and wanted her to hold my hand every step of the way. She did just that! She even picked up some decor and ordered table cloth linen & sashes that I used at my wedding rehearsal. For the most part I was very calm during the planning process, but two weeks before my wedding I started to get completely stressed out w/ family issues & etc. Ms. Tammy kept me together and gave me very encouraging words to stay happy and not let anything or anyone ruin this time. On my wedding day, Ms. Tammy & her assistant Ms. Felita Fields did an exceptional job. Our wedding day was a dream come true!! Thank You Ms. Tammy for taking care of me! I would recommend her to any bride that needs full to day of service. xoxo
