Absolutely Amazing!
I cannot say enough about how absolutely amazing Tammy was, I would recommend her x100! Not only does she have a thorough knowledge of the industry, great relationships with vendors and venues, but she is on top of every detail from start to finish. She works with with you on what level of assistance that you need and goes from there. Everything was beautiful day of, even though Tammy always walks you through what to expect and has everything laid out in a schedule w/pictures, she was still able to throw in some surprises and just make our day that much better! Thank you Tammy for everything that you did to make our day a memorable one!

Tammy is awesome! She immediately emails or calls you back and is always there to answer any questions you have. She helped out so much from easing differing opinions, to reminding you of things you would have never known to do, and was so key in directing our ceremony. I loved using her because I could handle most of the planning for the wedding but needed someone there to remind me of things I should be doing, not to mention it was nice having someone in my court, saying "Whatever you want to do is fine by me". She relieved so much stress for me at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding... I was able to relax and not worry about a thing. She is so organized and on top of everything and has anything you may find yourself needing in that bag of hers! If you're a worrier like I am, she is amazing at reassuring you everything is going to be fine and if something does go wrong she is there to take care of it before you even realize it's happened. She made my wedding day so amazing for not only me but my family as well because we were all able to relax and enjoy ourselves because we knew she was on top of it all.

Absolutely amazing
I cannot say enough about how amazing Tammy and her team are to work with. Planning a wedding is not easy, and planning one during a pandemic was its own sort of crazy. Tammy worked around the clock to make sure our wedding was safe and successful. Her and the team went above and beyond making sure our safety protocols were in place and to be that support system we needed. We got married in June, and while we were taking pictures outside, Kathy was out there with us providing cold waters and a cooling fan in between shots. Everything they did was top notch and professional, including recommending some amazing vendors to work with. Our wedding day was perfect and Tammy and team pulled it off seamlessly. Thank you Special Moments Team for everything you did for us!

Bill is also an Ordained Minister through the Universal Life Church; talk about having a backup plan!
