A total dream!

Lara, Christina, and the whole TPIM team were a total dream to work with. From our first intro conversation to the wedding weekend 10 months later, we felt supported, informed, and confident of the whole process. TPIM is knowledgable, flexible, collaborative, and extremely communicative - in the weeks leading up to the wedding, our friends kept commenting on how we were the calmest soon-to-be-wed couple they had ever seen, which is certainly a direct result of and testament to how well taken care of we felt by the TPIM team. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and we wish we could get married again just to work with TPIM more!

The Best Coordinating Team Ever!

Working with our team from The Privilege is Mine for our wedding was a dream! We were looking for a coordination team since we had booked most of our vendors and made a lot of plans ourselves, but we had a unique wedding day with two ceremonies and meal services in the same day, requiring a lot coordination with vendors, an extra long day, and complex turnovers. Ever since our first call with Lara, we really vibed with her philosophy of nontraditional wedding planning for nontraditional couples and we felt like our energy and priorities would be matched by this team. We wanted our wedding to feel like a laid back, extremely personal celebration of us, our relationship and our cultures, and we felt that working with Lara and her team would help us achieve exactly that.

Throughout the process, we had regular monthly communication to check in, which was amazing. The team also hopped on important vendor calls and meets if they felt we needed extra support. Nicole and Amberlyn, our leads for the day, went above and beyond in supporting us, answering all of our questions, dealing with a few vendor issues we ran into in the months leading up to the wedding. TPIM’s customizable add ons, if you find you need extra are also a great option, and we were able to add some extra support to coordinate the timeline with vendors. There was never any assumptions about wedding traditions, which was especially appreciated by us as a couple with two non-American families.

The day of the wedding was the most stress-free experience because we knew Nicole and Amberlyn would take care of everything. they handled a rain plan, ceremony running over, family, and everything in between and made sure we had the most fun day. they made sure we were fed, supplied with drinks and so we'll taken care of. Our assistant planners, Sydney and Chanler, were also so lovely to work with.

Nothing but good things to say about everyone at TPIM. They will make your uniquely personal wedding come to life

TPIM for the wedding day win!

TPIM is a godsend! Of all of my wedding vendors, Lara and Nicole were the greatest value-ad to having a stress free wedding day. We had TPIM's 30-day coordination package for our wedding in Brooklyn. Lara is the calming presence that you will need in the home stretch of your wedding planning and to execute the big day. She is patient, a great listener, truly in your corner, and an all-around good human being. Her easy-going demeanor was exactly what I needed leading up to my wedding day and on the actual day to feel like all of the last minute logistics were handled and most importantly, taken off my plate. Nicole also assisted on our wedding day. Her positive energy when we arrived at the venue and throughout the evening made us feel relaxed and cared for. If we hadn't hired TPIM, the final month of wedding planning and day-of would have been so much more stressful. We could not have pulled it off without them. Thank you so much, Lara & Nicole!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Our company worked with Lara Mahler and The Privilege is Mine on a beautiful outdoor wedding out on Governor's Island in September. She was called to coordinate this wedding with less than 3 weeks time to organize. We were one of 15 vendors she worked with. It was a tall task! She handled everything so well and communicated each step of the way to ensure our team could get onto the island and have everything we needed to succeed. We at Soundhouse ran the AV side of things for the wedding and the challenges were aplenty. Power supply was limited, there were four separate outdoor setups at the venue, and there were two bands scheduled to play on a field with no lighting at night. Without Lara detailing everything to me and walking me through the venue space in advance, there is no chance this wedding would have gone so smoothly. She had backup plans in place. That was one of the more impressive weddings I have ever seen be pulled off and it's all thanks to The Privilege is Mine! This is as trustworthy of a wedding planner that you'll find in NYC.
