Awesome Planner!

Natasha was absolutely excellent! We needed her badly after our first wedding planner quit on us out of the blue. With that disaster and also trying to plan a small wedding during COVID where everything is so insane, we were really desperate. I think we hired her as a day-of coordinator but out of the kindness of her heart she helped us pull together so many of the final details we needed to make our big day beautiful! She was super organized, always kept us on track about what we needed to get done, always available any time of day, so kind and friendly and caring really we couldn’t ask for a more perfect planner! Thank you so much Natasha! -Josh and Tabi

Removed all stress, even stress I didn't know could happen!

Natasha worked with Bianca for our wedding this past October, and let me just say this up front to any bride/groom: you may THINK you are type A and can handle any and every small detail in your wedding. You may THINK "how many decisions could I possibly need help with if I already have all of my vendors selected and every event for the weekend is in the same place? EASY." Welp, let me tell you folks--it is decidedly *not*. We had our wedding at the Intercontinental on the Wharf: all 3 wedding events throughout the weekend. I hired Natasha as some decisions were becoming mildly overwhelming and her prices were *chefs kiss*. When I say she and Bianca saved the day MULTIPLE times during our weekend, I am not overstating. She made every vendor organizational correspondence and handled all last minute questions they had--it was the best decision I made about the wedding (minus the groom, he's #1 ;)).

Do yourself a favor as the price is MORE than absolutely worth the help and bliss Natasha will deliver you--BOOK.HER.IMMEDIATELY. She also already has working relationships with numerous vendors and locations in the city, which was astoundingly helpful. Seriously. Just book her and truly enjoy your wedding planning process!

Simply The Best!

My wife and I were recently married in downtown Washington DC, and we were both absolutely thrilled with how the big day turned out, thanks largely in part to our Day-Of Coordinator, Natasha from Tailored Memories. Her professionalism, courteousness, prompt communications, and overall quality of service added more value to our wedding than we ever thought was possible from a single individual. Her eye for detail and insightful aesthetic opinions ensured that my wife and I enjoyed our chosen venue to its fullest extent, while her keen mind and experience in planning and logistics guaranteed that every single objective for the day was reached. Not only did she provide a smooth transition from one perfectly executed task to the next, but she did so in a way that wowed the guests and maintained their smiles from start to finish. She was also able to apply her same skillset when preparing the vendors for our wedding day, and handled any concerns we had with them promptly and tactfully. Natasha made sure every one of them arrived on time and with all their necessary equipment in order to bring our special day to complete fruition. We cannot recommend Natasha and her team from Tailored Memories enough, as she was instrumental in making one of the happiest days of our lives a reality. She was hands-down the best decision we made when planning our wedding.

Wedding Day of Coordinator (From afar)

Our daughter was married in Arlington, but we live 500 miles away. We were worried about planning a wedding from afar, not knowing vendors and being able to coordinate. Tailored Memories (Natasha and her team) came to our rescue. She helped us find vendors, coordinate the day and it went off without a problem. Everyone showed up on time and as expected making the day flawless.
The team conducted themselves with professionalism, humor and grace.
They paid attention throughout the event to ensure everyone (especially the families) were well taken care of.
We are very grateful for them,

Excellent Wedding Coordinator

Natasha was my wedding coordinator for my wedding on 9.22.23 and the only word I can think of to describe her is amazing! I live in a different state and Natasha made planning a destination wedding a lot less stressful than it would have been. She began working with me months before and assisted me with everything I needed to bring my wedding vision to life. Natasha is very kind and truly wants her clients to have the wedding of their dreams. Natasha is very organized and ensured all of my decor was set up exactly the way I wanted it. What I liked the most about her is her responsiveness. Natasha was always available to answer any questions that I had and made me feel like I was a burden. I would recommend booking her if you want a coordinator who truly cares about their clients!

Incredible value addition to our wedding

Once we chose to bring Natasha in to our wedding planning process, the entire experience became exponentially easier and fun. She is kind, responsive, and responsible, and has impeccable taste. She was very organized and kept us on track in the weeks leading up to our wedding. She helped us coordinate across all of our vendors seamlessly, and was helpful in reaching out to everyone so that we wouldn't have to. She was also patient with us when we were busy and very flexible with our schedules (as my husband and I both work full time as well). I was so thrilled to have Natasha by my side on the day of my wedding. Everyone loved working with her and my family loved having her as a person to go to with questions! She made the day a breeze so that I could enjoy it, and she took everything I said I wanted in the day and made it a reality. She also went above and beyond, doing more than I had even asked for and expected, from the details of helping decorate tables to providing emergency essentials for the day of. I will forever be grateful to Natasha and Tailored Memories for her service! I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

The Perfect Wedding Planners

My husband and I hired Tailored Memories for my wedding in August and they did not disappoint. From pre wedding planning to the day of, they made sure we did not have to worry about anything. They even went as far as to make sure our dog who was in the wedding was dropped off at his dog sitters house for the night. We were extremely pleased with them and would recommend them to everyone.

Fantastic Day of Coordinator!

My wife and I used Natasha's services as a day of coordinator earlier this year. We could not be any happier with the results!

We hired her after we had some issues with our wedding venue and she came in and smoothed everything over. She is deeply knowledgeable about wedding planning and day of coordination. She answered all of our questions about the process and was very patient.

From start to finish, Natasha was professional, organized, and incredibly helpful in making sure that our big day went off without a hitch.

Overall, we highly recommend Natasha as a day of coordinator to anyone planning their own wedding. She did a fantastic job!

Amazing at everything!

Natasha is by far one of the best planners I have ever met. She made everything easy to understand and created an atmosphere that was fantastic. The way she can analyze and solve problems before they happen is a talent that not many people have. Everyone enjoyed themselves fully because of how she managed everything before and during the wedding. She is just amazing!
