TRACIE’S DISAPPOINTING WEDDING DAY STORY

“I was THAT bride, a giant worry stress-ball! I remember my own wedding just like it was yesterday but it was over 27 years ago! I was bursting with excitement to arrive at my reception to see everything I had been selecting for months finally come together. Unfortunately, I was disappointed that my wedding cake was not exactly as I envisioned. I had paid extra to have tulle and lights under the cake to make it appear as it was floating on a cloud but that did NOT happen! My heart sank when I saw that my cake wasn’t set up as discussed at the final meeting with the baker as promised. There were a few other issues that could have been fixed before the reception started and during that I had to deal with. Trust me these issues were NOT what I wanted to be dealing with on my special day. I didn’t want to worry about anything on the day that I had been dreaming about for so long. I just wanted to eat, drink, party and dance with my family and friends but instead I had to take time away from just relaxing and being in the moment to handle issues adding unnecessary stress.

IF I would had hired a wedding coordinator I could have avoided these disappointments. My wedding coordinator would have been dedicated to managing those details and troubleshooting any issues that arose NOT ME. This is why I started You’re The Bride so that I could help couples just like you to ensure everything is set up, perfect and not have any regrets! Making a difference in countless couples wedding day experience so that they can avoid similar disappointments and ensure their special day is everything they dreamed it to be brings me so much joy!” I would love to chat with you about your wedding worries, goals and expectations.

The Best Experience!

We hired Tracie as our day of coordinator for our wedding and could not imagine our day without her. From the very beginning of the planning process, Tracie provided me with the support I needed to have the perfect day. And her online tool that she has was a lifesaver when going through my to-do list and seating assignments. I don't know how we would have survived.

On the day of our wedding, Tracie helped with all of the set up and any fire drills so I could truly enjoy my day. And the end result was exactly what I wanted, she brought the decorations and table set up that I wanted to life! I would highly recommend for any bride to use Tracie on their big day.

Communication and Planning Made Easy

Tracie was our day of coordinator for our wedding and we loved & appreciated her guidedance, organization, and enthusiasm throughout the whole process. She makes it incredibly easy to communicate your ideas and plan/organize your event.

Another flawless Graduation Party

Thank you Tracie for another flawless Graduation Party. You organized the rental of the tent/chairs/linens, the caterer, the flowers, the invites and made it all seem effortless. It was such a weight off my shoulders to know I didn't have to do it all myself (I hate planning events LOL). Everything was perfect. I truly appreciate your attention to detail and follow through. Knowing you were there to keep the party on track allowed me to spend time with my family and friends. Thank you for that! I could not have done it without you.

Thank you for an amazing Grad Party!

Tracie was a life saver while planning my daughters High School graduation party. Since she missed out on all the "senior" activities, I really wanted her grad party to be something special. Tracie was outstanding and saved me so much time and work. She sourced the tents, tables, chairs, caterer and favors. I really dislike planning parties and with Tracie by my side it was so much more enjoyable. She made sure I didn't forget any details and kept the timeline on track for planning. Added bonus - the day of the party I was able to relax and spend time with family and friends instead of working the party. I'm so pleased, we are already discussing dates for my twin daughters graduation next year! Thank you Tracie for everything you do. What a pleasure it was to work with you. I look forward to doing it all over again in 2021

Simply Invaluable

I cannot say thank you enough to Tracie and Samantha for everything they did for our wedding! Our special day would not have been as seamless and perfect without this dynamic duo.

I am extremely particular and detailed oriented, and when it came to our wedding, that heightened even more. Needless to say, I would not have trusted the many moving parts and nuanced details with just anyone. However, the moment I met Tracie, I knew she was the best planner for us.

Throughout the time we worked with Tracie, she was a very clear communicator, extremely organized, and very detailed. Tracie was always a step ahead as she comes with many years of experience, and has the ability to identify and resolve potential obstacles before they have the opportunity to present themselves.

I cannot recommend Tracie and Samantha enough. The professionalism and peace of mind they provide is truly invaluable.

It's all in the details!!!

I should start off by saying I am extremely detail oriented and often a perfectionist. I was so nervous having someone else take care of details that pertained to the wedding but knew planning a big wedding with my husbands and I’s work schedule would be impossible. So getting to work with Tracie was such an unbelievable relief. The plan we choose was the month-of wedding plan and Tracie just went so above and beyond! She thought of every little detail and helped to create our dream-wedding day. Tracie stayed in constant contact with us and answered all of our questions promptly. Tracie also handled all of the hard work the week of the wedding to allow my husband and I to focus on other details leading up. The morning of our wedding, Tracie and her team worked tirelessly putting everything together making it an absolutely perfect wedding. We had our ceremony and reception at Eastern Market and you have to bring EVERYTHING in to set up. I still don’t know how they managed to get it all done in time and having done it exactly as I had envisioned. I honestly can’t say enough good things about them and working with you Tracie was truly one of the best parts of planning our wedding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

You want Tracie on your team

The vast array of detail aided my husband and I greatly. Tracie was armed with a list of questions to keep us organized, focused, and ensure the day of the wedding ran smoothly. She knows the pitfalls and problems that can come up and she works tirelessly to avoid them. Should there be a snag, she resolves them, at times without me knowing. For instance, one of the guests accidentally took my cellphone home at the reception. I never knew, until days later when the offender apologized. Tracie simply retrieved it once returned and handed the phone to my husband at the reception for safekeeping. I never even fretted over it. You want Tracie on your team!

You're The Bride is simply the perfect name for this company. We've worked with so many planners over the years, and it's amazing when you work with someone who is focused on creating an experience for the bride (and groom), instead of executing a perfectly crafted timeline. With weddings, timelines fluctuate due to a lot of circumstances, and planners who understand and can adjust on the fly are the best. Tracie was fantastic to work with every step of the way -- both in advance via email and on the event day. She was there for support and to help us, but she allowed us to perform our services as well. It was a great experience, and we'd HIGHLY recommend You're The Bride to anyone looking for a great wedding celebration!
