About

Congratulations, you have said "YES" and now you are counting
down the days until Your BIG DAY when you say "I DO"!

Like most.......... you have dreamed of your Wedding Day since you were little.
You have the location picked out, the flowers, the colors, the cake...and now you have the Groom!

It is getting close to Your BIG DAY and now you are wondering who will put out or set up all those important "Little Details" you spent months or years planning.

There are things you shouldn't have to think about on Your BIG DAY!

As the Bride all the focus should be on YOU!
You should be walking around with your bouquet and not a clipboard. You don't need to be checking to see if the DJ, Florist and Cake have arrived, are the napkins in the right spot or are the guest favors put out and is everything in order.

Every bride needs & deserves:

  • someone to help plan the most beautiful and most important day that YOU always remember
  • someone to be there on the wedding day to make sure YOUR DAY looks beautiful.
  • someone to just "be there" who you can count on to take care of any surprises


What exactly does a Wedding Assistant do for you?
*** The better The Wedding Assistant knows your wedding, the better I can advocate for YOU on YOUR BIG DAY.
So please provide as much information as possible ***

Review all wedding day details and plans to keep everything organized and running smoothly on the day of your wedding. Your Assistant is there to answer questions, field emergencies and make sure everything runs to your specifications.

About a month prior to your big day, your Assistant will accompany you on your walk through and final meeting with your venue working with you to create a detailed and customized timeline. When done, this timeline will become the "bible" for your day - telling your vendors, Wedding Assistant, and your wedding party when tasks are to be completed. It*s very important to keep all of your vendors on the same page.*

Obtaining all vendors cell phone numbers that will be used on your wedding day for easy contact should the need arise. Your Wedding Assistant is the point of contact for your vendors, hotel concierge and guests if questions/problems arrive on the day of your wedding. Oversee the setup and decoration at the ceremony and reception as per specific agreements. Ensure decorator, florist, DJ set up as per your instructions.

Attendance and supervision at your ceremony and/or reception up to 8 hours on YOUR BIG DAY.

Your Assistant will:

  • Be a mediator between Bride/Groom, vendors and families
  • Meet and greet your guests to escort them to their seats or to their appropriate tables
  • Ensure guests are accommodated and comfortable
  • Organize ceremony
  • Manage the change-overs (cocktail hour reception)
  • Ensures that your reception runs as smoothly as possible based on the created timeline
  • Pack up your important wedding materials and memories (gifts, guestbook, pictures) get back to you safely.
  • Have an emergency kit filled with helpful items will always be on site throughout YOUR BIG DAY.

I would like to start my review by first saying what a pleasure it was to work with Tabbatha a.k.a. the Wedding Assistant. From our first correspondence she was professional, kind, and truly interested in helping my husband and I make our wedding day exactly what we wanted it to be.
Through our wedding planning process Tabbatha was always very prompt in returning emails, texts, etc. She was also willing to meet face-to-face to discuss details, timelines, or a couple times to just talk me off a ledge when I let the wedding stress get the best of me! She set up meetings with vendors and accompanied us to the meetings. This was very helpful as she knew all the right questions to ask. The vendors she referred to us were wonderful, very professional, and worked very hard to make our day perfect.
All of Tabbatha’s hard work paid off as our big day went incredibly smooth. She and her sister, Lidia, were there early to make sure everything was set up exactly as we wanted it and she stayed late to make sure everything was broken down properly.
I would recommend Tabbatha to anyone looking for a coordinator for an event such as a wedding, baby shower, birthday, anniversary, etc.! I would definitely use Tabbatha again in the future!

When I say The Wedding Assistant was the best thing that ever happened to us... I truly, TRULY mean it. We worked with Tabbatha was our day-of lead, and she took the time to have lunch with me, respond to each and every one of my OCD emails, has an amazing "get to know your day" survey that has EVERYTHING in it (which really made my OCD happy). When hiccups happened (for example... when your venue starts unplanned construction... or when rental deliveries are scheduled outside of the normal day/planned coordinating coverage) -- she is solutions-oriented and literally has a zero-stress level. Being in control at all times is a must-have quality in the person you trust your day to... and Tabbatha is the best! During the wedding, she is prepared for ANYTHING. I loved the professionalism (they use these 007 headsets to keep in touch for total venue coverage), helpful to guests, blend in for behind the scenes and even had coloring books at the ready for the kids who got restless during the ceremony. I also can't neglect to mention how amazing the rest of The Wedding Assistant team is. Andy, Lidia & Karen all came to help as well, and their speediness, attention to detail and professionalism literally removed every ounce of stress I had. Even when the cops got called on our band (they broke the noise ordinance a few times which is something that could have brought our reception to an abrupt halt) -- instead of stressing me out with the idea of my wedding ending hours early, they worked with the band behind the scenes on the noise level (turned off all the extra speakers and they played live which sounded incredible), casually let me know I might need to make a call to switch to a DJ if the cops did show up to avoid a total shutdown. In hindsight... I would have normally had a total meltdown hearing that same information if it were from anyone else! They truly put you #1 and make sure your day is seamless, perfect and you never stop smiling.

Where do I begin with how fabulous Tabbatha is?!

My husband and I visited the Jacksonville Main Library while they were setting up for a wedding. We had already signed a contract with them, and Will - the site coordinator, invited us to see how they run things on the day for a reception set up. One of the first vendors we saw there was Tabbatha. She made time to chat with us about what she was doing and how the library accommodates the vendors, etc. We left there feeling at ease about choosing the library, and also that we wanted to hire Tabbatha for our wedding!

We ended up hiring her for her "day-of" services. She was always very responsive throughout the whole planning process, but not smothering at all. She made recommendations when asked, and brought up concerns that we hadn't thought of. She also made sure we were all organized leading up to the wedding with checklists and timelines. Tabbatha helped us organize the "on the ground" execution of our ceremony during our rehearsal and everything went perfectly for the ceremony on our wedding day.

Once we got to our reception at the library, she made sure that everything went according to schedule - coordinating with our DJ for the events throughout the night, etc. She also had to cut our wedding cake on the spot due to a snafu with our caterer! She stepped right in. Tabbatha also took the time to speak to my mom over the phone after the wedding to get details of a vendor issue so we could get it sorted out. She was our eyes and ears, and she delivered!

I would highly recommend Tabbatha to anyone looking for a day-of coordinator for their wedding. She struck the ideal balance of being professional and no-nonsense, but also tons of fun with a great sense of humor!

Thank you, Tabbatha! You made me feel completely at ease knowing that you were making the day run!

I must say I was reluctant to hire a day of wedding person. I had been working on our daughters wedding since last February when she and my wonderful son-in-law got engaged. I thought I had it all under control with the help of my beautiful daughter and her wonderful father. But the truth be told we would not have had such a special wedding without Tabbatha. She is kind, incredibly efficient, calm and calming. She allowed this day to flow without a hitch.
If you are the mother of the bride or the bride who is trying to do your own wedding, do yourself a big favor and call Tabbatha. She is well worth the expense even on a tight budget. She will make the day truly yours.
With much love and respect, the mother of the bride from 10/10/10

Hiring Tabbatha was the best thing I did for me on my wedding day. With all the issues I had to deal with I was so happy I had her by my side. She was the reason why I didn’t fall apart.
“Thank you Tabbathat for all that you have done for me. Thank you for being patient and for never leaving my side. I truly couldn’t have handled all the stress without you, again thank you so much!!!”

Tabbatha Ronnekamp with The Wedding Assistant did the most amazing job helping me organize and plan my wedding. She was always a step ahead of me and made sure everything went smoothly all day long. When I originally hired The Wedding Assistant it was only to help with the set up of the Church and Reception Hall. However, her package included rehearsal night and day of coordination as well. I cannot explain how THANKFUL I was to see her smiling face when I walked into the church on the rehearsal night. I would have been so unbelievably lost without her. Without a doubt Tabbatha and her company "MADE" my wedding and it was exactly how I imagined it. She really is the best out there!!!!

Thank you so much,

Tabbatha is a great wedding planner. I worked with her at a wedding last year and she and her team were not only professional but very organized and kept the event running smoothly. Hope to work with her again and again!
