The best decision we ever made!

Tara is hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning journey. She is a master of her craft. She expertly designed the most beautiful wedding we could’ve asked for. I’m not kidding when I say that when I saw the final product upon walking into the venue, my jaw dropped. It was everything we wanted and then some. She took every idea we had and elevated it beyond our expectations. If we had a nonnegotiable, she made sure it happened, no questions asked. Handling every request with the utmost professionalism and care.

The fact that Tara boasts a significant inventory of rentals in addition to her design expertise makes her incredibly great to work with - the one stop shop of our dreams. She was able to provide us with items that perfectly fit with the design of our wedding, making payments, planning, all the logistics of the design process seamless and easy. Even though our wedding design was a bit out of the norm of what couples who utilize our venue typically go with, Tara had pieces that matched unbelievably well. And if you want something that she doesn’t have, Tara has a plethora of well-established working relationships with local vendors to fill any gaps. When we told our venue we hired Tara, they said we hired the “dream team.”

Tara made the planning process so smooth. Scheduling calls to address any concerns and keep us updated on planning progress. She was very organized and communicative with all our vendors. We couldn’t have done it without her.

Not only is Tara incredibly great at her job, she is an absolute joy to work with. Her communication skills are beyond. Not only do we feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Tara throughout this process, we feel just as lucky to have gained a wonderful friend.

We HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you hire Terravida Events - you will not regret it!

They are an incredibly talented team and know exactly how to plan a beautiful wedding. I don’t know what I would have done without them, they knew all of the small details of what goes into planning a wedding that I never would have thought of. Throughout the entire process they were both very responsive and helpful with anything I needed! Not to mention so kind and welcoming! We got so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was and we owe it all to Terra Vida Events. Tara took away all of my stress and worry when it came to planning, she took care of everything! We are forever grateful for Tara and Lauren, they exceeded our expectations and planned us the most perfect day.

My Dream Wedding Brought to Life!

I can't find enough words to express my gratitude for the phenomenal job Tara and her team did in making our wedding day an absolute dream come true! From the initial consultation to the last dance, every moment was flawlessly executed, turning our vision into reality. Tara is a creative genius! She took our ideas and elevated them to a level we hadn't even imagined. From the breathtaking chiffon drapery, to the unique layout of the venue, every aspect showcased their incredible talent and dedication to her craft. She helped me think of a better way to do every single idea I ever had, and offered so many incredible ideas of her own!

Tara’s attention to detail and organizational skills are unmatched. She guided us through the entire process with such grace and expertise, making what could have been a stressful time, an enjoyable and exciting journey. She and Lauren thought of so many details or timeline things that we did not think of. When you are a bride, there are 1 million things you are trying to plan and accomplish, and there are too many small details that you might not even realize you need to think about. I am seriously SO thankful that Tara and Lauren were there for us in this way. The peace of mind I felt, knowing they were managing ALL of these plans, really helped me enjoy every second of my wedding day. Tara was always available to answer our questions, provide updates, and offer suggestions. Her responsiveness and clear communication truly helped in so many ways! We had many calls with her to clarify our vision, timeline and plans. Every phone call made me more and more excited about our wedding!


No wedding is without its challenges, but Tara handled every small issue with professionalism. We had a tornado windstorm nearly try to take out our wedding ceremony setup. She calmly approached me when I was nearly having a mental breakdown. She let me know what was happening and quickly found solutions. She ensured that our day flowed seamlessly, leaving us to enjoy every moment without worry. She helped me realize that these things out of our control are really not what mattered that day!

Tara has a great network of vendors. She and Lauren spent a lot of time helping us find the best possible vendor for each aspect of our wedding! We also had a fairly tight budget in some areas, and she was wonderful to work with us to make everything happen with the right people!


It's clear that Tara truly cares about her clients. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, infusing our wedding with elements that felt uniquely 'us.'
Our wedding day was more beautiful and memorable than we ever imagined, thanks to Tara, Lauren, and the amazing team at Terra Vida Events! They went above and beyond our expectations, and we will forever be grateful for the role they played in creating the perfect beginning to our happily ever after. I was brought to tears multiple times on our wedding day, watching them work together to make our wedding a freaking magical day!

If you're searching for a wedding planner who is not only skilled and professional but also passionate about making your dreams a reality, please do not hesitate to book Terra Vida Events. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business.

Thank you, Tara, for turning our wedding day into a truly MAGICAL day, that we will cherish for a lifetime.

XOXO
