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.

Excellent and personal service.

I’ve been married 17 times in my life and this was by far the best experience I’ve had with a wedding coordinator. The marriage has since ended but I can’t speak highly enough about the planning and day of service provided. I look forward to using this company again for my inevitable 18th marriage.

Tabbatha must have been born for wedding planning! From day 1 with her until the big day itself, she made sure every part of the planning and coordinating process was as stress free as possible for me. She is extremely professional, friendly, personable, yet very to the point and honest which I appreciated. She will help you with wedding budget and help you pick out every vendor based on your budget and vision. I did some research on vendors myself and did interview with a few I picked on my own as well; however all the vendors I ended up selecting were the ones Tabbatha initially recommended because they were clearly high quality vendors. She really does know her stuff when it comes to wedding planning. You can ask her anything and she will have an answer or help you figure it out. And she has so many different resources to help you figure out what you want (budget planning tools, tipping etiquette, and a customized and VERY DETAILED timeline for the wedding day). She is very responsive to all communication (texts, emails, etc) and works her butt off to ensure your day runs as perfectly as possible. I honestly cannot recommend anyone more highly than her. Book her, I promise you will not regret it!

I heard about The Wedding Assistant online, via WeddingWire and The Knot. The consultation was laid back--fewer frills than some of the other planners I met with. But Tabbatha was professional, clear, confident, and more affordable than other planners. Even regardless of price, she was in the top three planners we interviewed. Price was really the decision maker for us, at first.

I had a partial planning package. Before the big day, Tabbatha helped me find vendors to interview: that was the process I originally dreaded. With so many vendors listed on line, I couldn't imagine sifting through all of the data to figure out who was in our price range and who had a similar aesthetic while I was also working full time. Tabbatha helped make the planning easy, and she organized contracts for me after I signed them. She uses a system that reminds you when bills are due-- very helpful! She had creative suggestions and practical suggestions during this planning phase, too.

As we prepared for the wedding day, Tabbatha gave me personalized budgets and schedules that helped me stay organized easily. But the most impressive part was the planning and organizing Tabbatha and Andy did on the big day. My wedding was perfect and 100% stress free. I literally did not worry about any details the whole day. The planners oversaw everything, did ALL of the coordinating, and made sure everything was perfect. I was amazed at how smoothly everything went (or seemed to go: if there were any problems, I literally didn't hear anything about them because Tabbatha and Andy took care of everything!). I can't thank them enough for everything that they did. I didn't even realize that it was possible to have such a stress-free wedding or large event. I absolutely recommend The Wedding Assistant!!

Although it was not in our budget to hire a wedding planner, I still met with Tabitha and received some really great feedback and advice for various parts of our wedding. She went through a proposed timeline with such great detail and was very thorough in her explanations of "why this should be there." She provided cost saving tips which I really appreciated because weddings are definitely not cheap! Her expertise and knowledge about weddings that she shared with me during our meeting definitely transcended on the day of my wedding and almost everything went as she had recommended. If I would've had it in my budget to hire Tabitha, I wouldn't even think twice about doing it!

Once again, Tabbatha and her team knocked it out of the park! After having hired Tabbatha to coordinate both of my daughters' weddings in the last several years, I hired her again for a close family friend's big day. As usual, she coordinated the day with professional organization and made sure everything ran smoothly. I was so thankful to have her in charge. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her and trouble shoots as needed, taking care of any and all issues behind the scenes. I highly recommend Tabbatha and her Wedding Assistant team to anyone planning a wedding. She will guide you in the right direction and will help make your big day as special as you dreamed of.

I can't thank Tabbatha with The Wedding Assistant enough for everything she did for our wedding day! My husband and I hired Tabbatha for the day of coordinating but she did so much more than just be there the day of. She was there for whenever we needed to email or call about any questions we had. Tabbatha was even there for our rehersal the day before the wedding to make sure the bridal party was where they needed to be in line for the ceremony. The day of our wedding she went above and beyond! We had over 200 cloth napkins that needed to be folded in bows (the way i had requested) and She folded every single one of them by herself! A few hours into our reception, the alcohol started to run out and Tabbatha was so kind to drive to the Publix down the street to pick up more beverages so that our guest could continue to enjoy the night...and they did! The Wedding Assistant was nothing less of professional throughout the whole day and stayed in contact with all of our other vendors. I would highly reccomend her to any bride needing assistance on their special day.

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.

Tabbatha made planning my wedding so easy. I pretty much just gave her a rough idea of how I wanted things to go and she made it happen. I was in the middle of a million things while trying to plan my wedding and there was no way that I could have done this without some professional help. Thankfully we had Tabbatha! I just paid my vendors and directed them over to her. If anyone had any questions or anything, I just gave them Tabbatha's number. She kept everything organized and if there were any behind-the-scenes catastrophes, I sure did not know about them. She was there for us from day one, she kept in close contact, and she was by my side the day of every step of the way, ensuring that I had everything I needed. She orchestrated the ceremony, arrival of vendors, and where and when we needed to be in specific positions. She really help keep everything and everyone organized. Thanks to Tabbatha's services, I had a perfect, stress-free, organized, and perfect wedding! I would definitely go with her if you're looking for someone to keep things easy and stress-free on your big day!

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!
