    The most GORGEOUS flowers from the most creative team!!!

    Tamara from Lush was absolutely incredible!!! Every moment of our process, from initial consult to the wedding day, was perfect, fun, and exciting. Tamara is so imaginative, enthusiastic, creative, and organized--she always prepared a full presentation anytime we spoke, and was happy to spend extra time workshopping our ideas. She was available on email and text, and even went the extra mile to help us decorate our wedding cake!  The florals on the wedding day were the most beautiful things I've ever seen, from our ceremony flowers to our wedding bouquet to our absolutely show-stopping centerpieces. We were blown away.

    If you're looking for a vendor who will work with you to create the wedding flowers of your dreams, look no further and hire Tamara asap. I cannot emphasize enough what a pleasure it was to work with her and how beautiful her floral creations were.

    Lush was amazing!

    Tamara and the Lush team did an absolutely incredible job with the flowers and centerpieces for my wedding. She worked with our budget and was very thorough in planning from initial brainstorming down to the little details. Tamara worked patiently with us to create a beautiful atmosphere for the ceremony and reception which were both made more beautiful than I could have imagined. Communication couldn’t have been better and it was a joy to work with someone who we trusted completely. Choosing to work with Lush was one of the best decisions we made in planning the wedding and I am so grateful for everything Tamara did.

    All we had to do was show up!

    We absolutely love Tamara and her team!
    Upon our first meeting with Tamara, we knew right away that we were in the right hands. We had the pleasure of working with her over the past two years as our full-service wedding planner and despite juggling multiple clients in between, Tamara and her team always made us feel like we were priority. They guided us through each step of the process, made great suggestions along the way, always stayed in touch with us and was always just a quick text or phone call away.

    The wedding was truly out of this world. We shared our vision with them and they went above and beyond our expectations bringing every detail to life. From booking all our vendors to executing the design and florals! We didn’t know how we were going to bring our island theme to Bucks County, PA but Team Lush definitely did! Two weeks later, we still have guests raving to us about how beautiful everything was and saying that this was one of the best weddings they’ve been too.

    Hiring Lush was hands down the greatest decision we made for our wedding and well worth more than the money we invested in them. They made this whole process stress-free and easy. All we had to do was show up! We are so grateful and blessed to have met a team of great value. They’ll forever be a part of our family.

    All We Can Say Is Wow

    We found Lush through our wedding venue Globe Dye Works and had a wonderful experience working with Tamara and her team! Tamara was truly our partner throughout the entire planning process. She brought upbeat energy to our planning calls and was invested in creating the event we had envisioned. When I had the usual bridal anxiety, Tamara stayed calm. Lush recommended and coordinated with all our vendors and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with our vendor team. While Tamara had established relationships with many of them, a great example of Tamara going above and beyond was her work to find a florist who fit the vibe we had shared in our inspiration photos. We were also grateful for her help with negotiations, when appropriate. Come wedding weekend, Tamara and the whole Lush team killed it. While a lot of this was because of their impeccable planning, they were also completely on when it really counted, managing our boisterous and sometimes challenging families with grace. Our wedding was more beautiful, unique and true to us than we ever could have envisioned and, to brag on Lush’s behalf, we’ve now been receiving compliments on the details, décor and flow for days. We will miss working with Tamara!

    Wedding planner

    Tamara and her crew at lush did a excellent job. Our wedding was mostly outdoors with a live band requiring a lot of moving parts, but the end result could not have been better. She has a lot of experience and certainly was able to bring our wedding to the next level. She was able to help us stay in budget but still get all the floral, decorations, and specialty drinks we wanted

    Do not hesitate - book lush!

    To be honest, our biggest mistake was not booking Lush soon enough. I had an initial call with Tamara and immediately fell in love with her vision for our wedding. However, I wasn’t sure if we actually needed a wedding planner given our venue had a day-of coordinator. Fast forward two months later when it became abundantly clear we couldn’t plan this wedding without Lush. Tamara and her team were extremely attentive. We had weekly planning calls, and their organization and prioritization of tasks kept us on track. I will also say they were VERY patient with us as we agonized over even the smallest of decisions. The end result was an absolutely stunning wedding weekend which was truly reflective of us as a couple. Our only regret is that we didn’t sign the contract with Lush earlier in the planning process.

    Nothing but the best for you and your guests!

    Since the first phone call I shared with Tamara, I knew my wedding was in the right hands. Her genuine enthusiasm, energy, and excitement in sharing our wedding day with us is what sold me immediately. Tamara brought so much insight, creativity, and genuine care into the first steps of creating our outdoor wedding from scratch.

    Throughout the planning process, Tamara was organized, responsible, and took every wish I had into consideration. Her positive attitude is infectious, and at many times, reinvigorated my excitement for the wedding day despite the bumps we hit when trying to plan with family members.

    But it gets even better! I learned that Tamara has a family-based team backing her up! Her husband literally built us an outdoor kitchen! Her sister helped create our wedding favors and floral arrangements! Her daughter lent us her Polaroid camera! I cannot emphasize how much care, attention, and love Tamara and her family put into making our wedding special. By the end of the planning process, she and her family indeed feel more like best friends to us than business partners.

    The actual wedding day was perfection. Beautifully laid tables, handmade bouquets, a giant cake piñata, a hand-decorated floral arch, the princess treatment, and not to mention sparkling fountains! What an amazing display of talent and planning!

    What I’m trying to say is, HIRE LUSH. You will not regret it. Tamara does everything in her power to make you feel listened to, heard, respected, supported, and best of all, LOVED

    Stop what you are doing and hire tamara!

    Hiring Tamara and the Lush team was one of the best decisions I have ever made, period. I get teary eyed just thinking about how perfect she was. From helping us figure out what we still needed to do (suits - Menguin, total winner for our tall groomsmen) to setting up all of my flowers and decor - everything was professional, fun, and absolutely breathtaking! When I say our day could not have moved smoother, I mean it 100%. She took all the odds and ends from me planning on my own and made it come to life better than I could have ever imagined. I had zero stress on my wedding day because of this team. If you are on the fence about hiring them, I swear she will make sure your day is fantastic! All of my bridal party was blown away by how great she was. Multiple guests said I should throw parties more often and I know that was all Tamara. I can't wait to host more events just to work with her again lol. In all seriousness, she made my wedding go off without a single hiccup. The day was perfect and I know that is because of their hard work. You will not regret having them on your team. I am still blown away! Hire these beautifully kind people now!

    Most Perfect Day

    If I could give Lush Meetings & Events 6 stars I would! Tamara and her team coordinated our wedding at the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center on March 5th, 2022. Saying they knocked it out of the park is an understatement! As most engaged couples do, my husband and I had a very specific vision with a lot of intricate detail we wanted for our event. Although we booked Lush for the "month of" management service, Tamara met with us several times in the year leading up to our wedding in order to understand exactly what we wanted, and to get to know us as a couple. Tamara and her team at Lush exude the utmost professionalism while also connecting with you on a personal level.

    I knew from the first meeting with Tamara that Lush was the one for us (we interviewed several companies). Our friends and family have not stopped gushing about our wedding since. We've had several sincere"that was the best wedding I've ever been to" comments! Everything that we had planned and dreamed was executed perfectly, down to the most minute detail, and the day went so smoothly.

    Our photographer happened to catch my reaction when we walked into the cocktail/reception space for the first time before our ceremony, so I had to share! If you are looking for a wedding coordinator/event planner in the Philadelphia area, don't hesitate to hire Lush. You won't be disappointed!

    50th Birthday Celebration

    Tamara & her team were absolutely PHENOMENAL! We would highly recommend Lush Meetings & Events for your special day. Tamara listened to the details of all our 'Must Haves' and created the most AMAZING atmosphere for my wife's 50th birthday party. The guest were all wowed by every detail of decorations. From table settings, dessert table, bar decor, center pieces, etc. her team left nothing unturned. Tamara is very energetic and a pleasure to work with. Her pleasant personality helped to make planning the event such a pleasure. Her team went waaaay beyond their scope of work. Give her your vision & she runs with it! If you're looking to plan a special event and want it to be the most memorable day in your life, hire Tamara and Lush Meetings & Events! You won't be disappointed!

    Tamara & Plan Lush Forever!

    My husband and I just finished working with Tamara and her Plan Lush team after a year of pandemic planning. My husband and I met with many wedding planners in our search, but we knew the second we met Tamara that she was the one. Not only was she friendly and approachable, but she approached our nervousness with warmth and understanding -and it was this patience that we are forever grateful for.

    Wedding planning can be such a stressful process, but Tamara made it all just that much better. From helping us find the right vendors, to providing guidelines on gratuity, the seating chart process, and especially communicating with our venue and other vendors, Tamara was an MVP.

    I would be remiss if I didn't also mention that Tamara and her team led the design of our absolute dream Harry Potter wedding. After showing her a Pinterest board of some foundational ideas, Tamara transformed our Venue (Terrain at Glen Mills) in to a warmly lit, candle fantasy straight out of the Great Hall. I was completely blown away and it was everything my husband and I dreamed.

    Finally, I want to acknowledge how amazing her floral work was. Although she's a planner at her core- she led the floral design of our entire event and we received so many compliments from our guests about how sophisticated and gorgeous everything was.

    If you're looking for a planner, don't hesitate to partner with Tamara and her amazing Lush team!!!

    Most beautiful event ever!

    I cannot speak more highly of the Lush Meetings & Events team and Tamara & Adara!!
    This says a lot come from a certified TYPE A, OCD, Perfectionist (that would be me).
    This super duo very quickly (in under 30 days) put together a showstopper bridal shower I hosted for my best friend and 40 guest.
    No grand idea I tossed at them phased them and they executed on everything flawlessly. From the venue selection to the décor, the event was a showstopper that everyone kept talking about.
    Being that I was planning the event remotely (event in Philly and I in NYC), the Lush Meetings & Events team went above and beyond to do video walk throughs of venues with me and send plenty of photos of all the elements of the event. This gave me great comfort planning an event from afar. They spent tireless hours sourcing the one centerpiece option that I had to have and despite many obstacles, they came through.
    Every vendor they suggested/worked with were also top notch. From the bakery, band, to the photographer!
    Also, coming from a person that works in finance, I appreciated the technology they use to keep track of all ideas, vendor contracts, invoices, etc. It showed they really know what they are doing and believe in complete transparency.
    I’ve planned/hosted many events over the years and what holds Lush Meetings & Events apart is they are extremely professional, creative, innovative, resourceful, super responsive, budget sensitive and go above and beyond. MORE THAN ANYTHING, THEY ARE FUN TO WORK WITH AND MADE A STRESSFUL PROCESS QUITE ENJOYABLE.
    A special shout out goes to Adara who was my lead planner. She confessed at the even that it was her first event she took lead on. Not only could I tell, when myself, guest and the bride arrived at the event we were all blown away by how beautiful it was.
    I HIGHLY recommend Lush Meetings & Events for any event large or small and cannot myself wait to work with them again!

    Amazing! So thankful!

    We could not have better things to say about Tamara and the Lush team! From day one we knew she would be the one to make our dreams come true and that’s what happened! All throughout covid she worked with us entirely thorough zoom all the way up until the end, and made the whole process of planning during a pandemic as easy as possible. She understood our vision right away and did a great job conforming around the restrictions of Shabbat and everything needing to be kosher, let alone managing some of our difficult vendors. I will miss texting her as I think of things late at night, but her responses were always timely and straight forward which made everything simple and manageable within our difficult schedules. Once the day got closer we were able to meet with the rest of her team who were just as great as Tamara, and when it came time for the wedding the team was simply amazing, and we are so incredibly grateful for all that they have done to make our day perfect and special in every way! We got so many compliments on how well put together everything was and how much of an amazing time everyone had the entire wedding! We have already referred her to other couples and would highly recommend Lush to anyone looking for an overall amazing wedding experience from start to finish! Thank you Tamara and the Lush team for everything and we hope to have you and your team plan many events for us in the future!

    Proud to work with

    I was contracted to perform as live musician for a private event with Lush in Philadelphia in June 2021. The event itself was both classy and fun. And I found Tamara and her team to be personable, detail-oriented, attentive to guests' needs, and thorough. I'd be thrilled to work with Lush again and would refer my friends and contacts to them without hesitation.

    A-m-a-z-i-n-g!

    Tamara was amazing!
    I really was unsure of how much would actually be "planned"and taken care of. I cannot say enough good things about Tamara! From the first call we had with her to discuss our ideas, to the day of the wedding, it felt perfect and flawless. Since we were coming from out of state and with covid guidelines we were unsure what the end result would actually look like. Tamara found the prefect venue for us. She always gave multiple choices for us to choose from when it came to decor, pastors, dj's, florists, photographers, etc but at the end of the day she nailed it as to our vision. Her "first choice" proved to be the best choice every time! We loved having our weekly meetings and getting to see everything coming together. She is full of energy, visions, and excitement! We could not have planned our wedding without her and I would definitely recommend using her if you want a perfect, stress free wedding! :)

    1500 Miles Away? Pandemic? No problem!

    Words cannot express just how WONDERFUL and AMAZING it was to work with Tamara.

    We live in Texas, but wanted our wedding to be near family in Pennsylvania, 1500 miles away... and COVID-19 was in full swing. We used the phone and online meetings for everything.

    Tamara was our guide at every step of the way. She walked us through everything from initial discussions, explaining her services, vision casting, budget planning, venue selection, decorations, ceremony, food and beverages, music... everything. She kept us on track and focused with homework, to-do lists and due dates.

    Tamara was our eyes and ears. Behind the scenes, she was touring venues, and vetting vendors, negotiating contracts, and keeping on top of the impact of COVID. She was prompt and direct when complication arose, and she researched and proposed solutions.

    If you want the absolute best wedding planner, talk to Tamara.
    Not just for weddings, but any meeting or event!

    Amazing Wedding

    You guys ROCKED! Through the entire process you were on top of EVERYTHING. There were so many moving pieces and vendors and your team was on top of everything. Nothing goes off perfect but you all made the imperfections look like a magical fairytale. You guys were very professional and fun all in one. My wedding was amazing! I can’t wait to hire you again for another function. I give you guys a million stars 🤩

    Best wedding planners ever!

    Tamara and her team at Plan Lush were the best part of wedding planning! From helping choose vendors, to reviewing their contracts, day of coordination and everything in between they were such a huge help. You don’t realize all of the work and details and coordination that go into planning a wedding until you’re living and breathing it. They were the best wedding investment I made and knowing I could count on them the day of really allowed me to just enjoy my special day with my now husband.
