    Excellent Life Saver with a Heart of Gold

    Taneka was amazing!! I felt like I was working with my best friend. She helped me stay calm, and was super responsive-always. She also was very professional with all of my vendors, very classy with my guests. My mother loved her, I loved her, and I highly recommend her!!

    Look no further for a day-of coordinator!

    Taneka is the BEST day-of coordinator in the game! She bills herself as a day-of coordinator, but she started checking in with me six months out, asking if I needed anything and making sure we had all our ducks in a row. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but I was at ease on my wedding day because I knew Taneka was taking care of everything! Plus, she's a ton of fun - even getting in on the dancing :)

    Taneka is amazing!

    Taneka was our day of coordinator for our wedding in November 2021 and I can't imagine our day without her! She was extremely organized, thoughtful and on top of every detail. Would recommend her to anyone!

    She’s the best!

    Taneka was recommended to us by friends who had used her a few years before. So glad we followed their advice! Taneka was wonderful to work with. She’s a great positive energy, and she knows her stuff. She is calm and professional, and jumps in to help wherever you need—and she anticipates what you need before you even think of it. She worked great with all of our vendors and our bridal party/family. They all loved her! Having her there in our wedding way definitely took away all of the stress of knowing what comes next, where to go and what you need to do. She did a great job encouraging me to enjoy my day and let her take care of things for which I’m very grateful. We had the best day, and can’t thank her enough.

    Taneka was wonderful! She was so helpful prior to and on the day of the wedding. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a great day of wedding coordinator!

    Dewosky-Richardson Wedding

    We found Taneka only one week before our wedding and she jumped in like a CHAMP. She completely took away any stresses of the day, effectively communicated with vendors, kept us on schedule and helped bring our vision to life. If you want your dream wedding to run smoothly, Taneka is your girl!!

    Best decision ever

    Taneka was hands down, the absolute best investment that we could have ever made for a wedding. Before you hire any other vendor, go find Taneka! We didn't hire her until a month before the wedding and I WISH we had done it earlier. She came in, checked in with all of my other vendors, and took charge so I didn't have to. If there were any complications on the day of, and I'm sure there were, I didn't have a clue because she took care of everything. Everyone that had anything to do with the wedding knew who Taneka was because she was our SUPER HERO of the day!

    Awesome!!!!

    Taneka was awesome. The day went smoothly because of her! She’s so fun, keeps you calm, and gets things done! She was awesome for my very go-with-the-flow personality. I would 100% recommend It’s My Day!!!

    Tankea is amazing!

    I cannot sing It's My Day's praises enough!! Taneka and her team are astounding -- they orchestrated everything on the wedding day to perfection. Taneka and Shannon made sure the rehearsal went as scheduled, the vendors arrived to the proper place at the proper time day of, the ceremony music was cued properly, toasts were given at the proper time, and the list goes on! Even things I hadn't thought about (like what to do with my bouquet during the entrance) were handled seamlessly by Tankea. She even made sure some minor obstacles (like guests who had enjoyed the cocktail hour a little too much) were solved without interrupting my fun of the day. Thank you, Taneka, for letting my husband and I enjoy our big day!

    Could not have done it without her!!

    I am so grateful that we invested in Taneka’s service - she was prompt with every response, clearly experienced and passionate about wedding coordination! Our wedding-to-reception concept had some complexity (3 music acts, flipping the ceremony space for dinner, very tight timeline) and thanks to Taneka, it went off without a hitch! She jumped right in, knew the best places to help at exactly the right times, and was always smiling & supportive. I couldn’t afford to skip the way ItsMyDay kept everything on track - would absolutely recommend.

    Wonderful day of coordinator!

    Taneka was a great day of coordinator! She was very responsive and organized in the months leading up to the day. She also jumped on last minute changes the morning of the wedding and kept the day flowing without a hitch. I highly recommend her!

    Taneka was so friendly, helpful and competent in drawing up a timeline, explaining things to us ahead of time, working with our vendors, and taking care of details that I (the m-o-b) was able to completely relax and enjoy the party without a care. Bringing Taneka on board was a great decision.

    On our special day Taneka did an amazing job and went above and beyond what was expected. Because of her professionalism and knack for remembering details we were relaxed and at ease throughout the entire wedding and reception. The day was really one we’ll always look back on with joy and we have Taneka to thank for that.

    It's My Day Special Events is an outstanding day-of-wedding planning service. Taneka Scales will go above and beyond to make sure that the bride's wishes are carried out to her exact specifications. Not only that, she can turn on a dime and handle any situation she's faced with --- as happened with our garden wedding that had to be moved inside the reception venue when the rains came. Taneka never missed a beat and organized the space so that it was perfect for the ceremony, then quickly rearranged it so it was perfect for the reception. Not only that, but her calm demeanor and clear ability to keep track of all the moving parts of a somewhat chaotic last-minute change were very reassuring not only to the bride, but to all the members of the wedding party so that no one felt unsure or ill at ease. Best of all, she sticks with you to the very end, and both she and her assistant are very courteous and supportive no matter what the emotional temperature of the situation! I assure you that you will not find a better coordinator anywhere, and I commend It's My Special Day Events without qualification. Thank you Taneka and Shannon for helping us achieve the wedding of Meg's dreams!

    It's My Day Special Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Phyllis for your amazing review! It makes us feel at ease when we can make the Mother of the Bride happy as well! Her day is your day and we're glad that our services allowed you to be in the moment with her and not worry about details. Thank you for trusting us to oversee a very important day for your entire family!

    Taneka and her assistant Shannon are the most wonderful women you could ever work with. I felt I was pretty prepared for our wedding at the Barn at Reynolda Village on October 7, but being able to hand over the reigns to Taneka was exactly what I needed to make our day as perfect as ever! We planned to be married outside in the garden, but as mother nature would have it, the rain moved in and it poured! Taneka made a plan and without hesitation I trusted her and we were married inside in the Barn. She coordinated our ceremony as if we had planned to be married in the space all along, it was so beautiful and intimate. Our guests were so impressed with how smoothly the wedding went and we can only thank Taneka and Shannon for that! They truly are such pros and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a day of coordinator in the North Carolina area! Thank you ladies for everything, you're the best! ❤️

    It's My Day Special Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Meg for your amazing review! Shannon and I were so pleased to work with you and Dave! Your wedding day was so beautiful.. Your kind spirit and trust allowed us to fully put our hearts into making your day as seamless as possible (even in the rain). Thank you and Dave for trusting us wholeheartedly and you rock as a "bride planner" you didn't miss a detail! Best wishes to you both!

    Taneka is amazing. The wedding went on flawlessly and she has a great personality. Easy to work with, and her organizational skills were excellent. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Definitely recommend if you want a flawless wedding.

The professionalism, expertise and advice you provided me throughout the entire process was more than I could of ever hoped for!

    Words cannot express how wonderful Taneka is. From the moment I met her, I knew I was going to book her as my day of coordinator. She has such a great personality and is so organized. She was very proactive and contacted me when she needed info rather than wait for me to realize that I needed to get it to her. She would check in from time to time just to make sure planning was going ok. She made sure everything about the day went smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Booking Taneka was one of the best decisions I made. I could not have done it without her! I highly, highly recommend Taneka!

    Our wedding day would not be complete without Taneka and her fantastic team. Not only was she essential in day-of-coordination, but also in the process leading up to our wedding. My husband and I planned our wedding from out of town. Takena was always willing to meet in person if we stopped by; otherwise she was VERY responsive in communicating via phone and email. She is approachable, detail-oriented, efficient, punctual, and calm. It must take a lot to phase Taneka because she is always two steps ahead and has a back-up plan for everything. IF anything went awry on our wedding day, we did not notice as her team probably handled it quickly and quietly--no drama and stress free!!! One of my bridesmaids was in the process of planning her own wedding in NYC. By the end of our wedding day, she was so impressed by It's My Day Special Events that she repeatedly said, "I want someone like Taneka on my wedding team!" Taneka's infectious personality makes it easy for her to work cohesively with other vendors. At the heart of it all, she is warm and caring. She truly goes above and beyond to make your special day everything you hoped for and more. For the success and joy of our wedding day, we are deeply grateful to her for all of her hard work. We HIGHLY recommend Taneka to anyone and everyone--she is simply the best!

    Taneka is the best!!!!!!! From the moment I first spoke to her on the phone, I knew she was the right person to help out with our wedding. She has an extremely positive attitude, is incredibly organized and just makes you feel calm! Our wedding was fairly large (300 people) with a lot of moving parts. Taneka and her staff went above and beyond to make sure our event ran smoothly (and on time)! She made sure to remember all of the details I had mentioned in passing or via email and did everything that was asked of her (and a whole lot more) with a smile on her face. I couldn't have asked for a better day-of-coordinator and I highly recommend Taneka, no matter how big or small your event is – she can handle it. We did not hire her team for our event the night before the wedding (because it was meant to be small and intimate) and I will say, that is my biggest regret. I wish I could have a do-over! :-)

    Pooja, thank you so much for your heartfelt review! It was such a pleasure working with you and Tom on your wedding day! It was a beautiful wedding and one that I will never forget! From all the wedding day events to meeting your wonderful family, it was truly an honor! Wishing you and Tom lots of happiness in your marriage! ~Taneka

    It's My Day Special Events was responsible for making my wedding the best day ever. Taneka went way above and beyond with her services. She was always available when I had a question or a concern. I had a few issues with other vendors and she was able to help smooth it all out. We met with her twice before the wedding and had countless emails. She was always extremely professional and has a very calm personality, which in my opinion is an extremely good quality for a person in her line of work. The day before the wedding and the day of the wedding there were several issues that arose with other vendors. While I thought I was going to go crazy, she was able to reassure me and take care of everything. She and her team worked extremely hard to make sure everything went smoothly. There were even issues that had come up that I didn't even know about until after the wedding. She had handled it all and I never had to be bothered! She was worth every penny! I highly, HIGHLY recommend It's My Day Special Events for any event. She was the one vendor I could honestly say I could never do without.

    It's My Day Special Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review Ashlyn! It was such an honor to be your Day of Coordinator! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful! You both were truly surrounded with a lot of love from family members and friends. You were a very sweet and organized bride. Your planning plus our coordination made a beautiful wedding day for you and Nic! We're glad that we were able to help you enjoy your wedding day to the fullest without being bothered with problems. We wish you and Nic a lifetime of happiness and love! ~Taneka
