The F. Sent on 12/06/2023The best of the best
Professional. Passionate. Organized. Radiant. There will never be enough words to convey how much Tara brings to the table. I have written multiple rough drafts to sum up how exceptional Tara is at what she does since we’ve gotten married and I hope this will at least come close.
Tara is gifted at what she does. She is one of those people in life who has picked her profession perfectly. As a wedding planner, she makes wedding planning an absolute breeze. She is organized, communicative, and best of all: genuinely passionate about creating the weekend of your dreams. She leaves no stone unturned, no logistic hazy, and every vendor double and triple accounted for. And she does it all with boundless enthusiasm and a zest for love. We felt like we gained not just a planner but a friend and a cheerleader along the way.
Our wedding was the best weekend of our lives and it would not have been possible without her. As a bride and groom, there was never a moment where we did not feel heard or taken care of. But beyond just us, the overwhelming response from our guests were that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. And we pass that compliment directly to Tara. Tara not only takes care of you as a couple but thinks about your wedding from every angle: for your guests, for your vendors, for your venue, for everyone. She is worth her weight in gold and then some.
And that’s before we even begin to touch the absolute WIZARDRY she brings when it comes to florals. We cried genuine tears of joy walking into our venue on our wedding day. With Tara, anything is possible. Whatever floral fantasy you can think of it, multiply it by ten and that is what she delivers. Her creativity and style are like no one else’s. You will not be able to find what Tara can do anywhere else. Her work takes my breath away. I will think about the flowers on my wedding day for the rest of my life (trying not to cry all over again writing this review).
To any couples thinking about hiring Tara, DO NOT DELAY. You are not just hiring a planner, but hiring the wedding fairy godmother of your dreams. You will be so grateful to have her sprinkle her magic on your special day. The magic she gave to us will stay with us forever.

We are so grateful for everything Tara and Mixed Company NYC did for us. Her and her team took care of everything and made our special day magical. Everything from planning to the final details to the tear down was taken care of. She eliminated so much stress for us. Everyone was in awe of how they transformed the space. Thank you so so much for all you did for our family. -

She was amazing!
Tara was absolutely AMAZING. From the moment we connected, we knew she was the one. She is such a beautiful and talented person who is passionate about her work. From start to finish, her energy was joyful and grounding. My husband and I are not organized, and she kept us on top of everything, while helping create a theme and vision that was executed beyond our wildest dreams. She has a WIDE range of connections that she trusts and also made our wedding what it was. From the Caterer to the DJ and the photo booth company, she handled all those communications and worked flawlessly with each team. Her attention to detail was impeccable. She was patient and created a beautiful experience that we will never forget.

Amazing Florist and Planner
Tara was excellent. She quite literally saved the day. Our biggest mistake was bringing her in later in the process. She not only handled the florals but also organized every other vendor we had. She was incredibly communicative. She worked with us on extending the impact of our budget. She came through with a spectacular event that blew us and the guests away. She listened to my partner and made her vision come to life rather than imposing an alternative version. She was always up-beat and made us feel special - calling us her “darlings”. She is above all else, an incredible human being as well. You cannot go wrong with this decision. We thank you, Tara and team! -

Party of a lifetime
Tara was an incredible planner, designer, and executor. From the very beginning, she fully understood our (very specific!) vision and worked closely with us to bring our dream party to life. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and it was clear how much heart and care she poured into making the entire night truly unforgettable. The thoughtful touches she added tied everything together beautifully. She also respected our budget and still made everything feel seamless and elevated. It was truly the party of a lifetime -

Tara and Mixed Company are nothing short of awesome. This company exceeded all of our expectations and made our wedding day nothing short of magnificent. Tara and her team were presented with very real challenges (not of their making) and they addressed each and every obstacle with such professionalism, determination, integrity. grit. and grace. Everyone who worked with Tara and saw her execute our vision for the day, unanimously agreed - Tara and her team are simply the best. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -

Tara and her team totally nailed it. Mixed Company has been a client of mine professionally for many years. My daughter and I were thrilled that she was able to be our creative force for my daughter's wedding on January 19th. Tara and her team worked their magic, listened to my daughter and delivered a beautiful, personal and special evening. She and my daughter worked hand in glove. She respected our budget and gave honest feedback. Her talent is unmatched. Every detail is important to her. Her spirit and enthusiasm for her work is contagious. She is simply the best and at the top of the business! -

Tara and the whole team at Mixed Company are just absolute MAGIC! I was lucky enough to work with them for a whole wedding weekend at The Wythe Hotel and 74 Wythe in Williamsburg and while I’ve worked with lots of other planners at both, they’re my new favorites. Not only is Tara an absolute joy in every regard, she anticipated not only the couple and wedding party’s needs, but also assisted all the other fellow vendors flawlessly. While the couple had been a little anxious leading up to the wedding, I’ve never seen a bride and groom so comfortable and relaxed - in huge part because of Mixed Company’s care, humor and attention to detail. Not only that, one of my favorite moments of the day was catching Tara be so engrossed in the ceremony herself that she shed a few tears - she genuinely cares for all of her clients! I am just keeping my fingers crossed that more of my couples book her ASAP. -

I can't thank Tara enough for the incredible job she did on our wedding day! She is incredibly creative, streamlined, and meticulous in every detail. What made working with her truly special was her amazing energy — it made the entire planning process and the day itself a joy. Thanks to her, everything went perfectly, and we couldn't have asked for a smoother, more memorable experience. Her dedication and passion really shone through, and we are so grateful for all her hard work! -

You can't go wrong! Mixed Co is the only choice!
Tara was amazing. She understood our concept, theme, and vision for our gala. We trusted her talent and ability to be the perfect person to elevate our event and she delivered! Tara is personable, energetic, and her creativity was on par with what we were hoping for. I was amazed by her timing and flexibility with working with other vendors onsite. Her staff were great as well. I highly recommend Mixed Company as you will be in awe of their work and execution. -

We still can't believe how lucky we are to have found Tara to plan/create/execute our wedding party. She was recommended to us by our venue where she threw a party similar to what we were looking for a couple of weeks prior to our initial walk through. From the first interactions, it was clear that she loves what she does, is super organized, and always smiling. We hired her for all things decor, florals, and planning/coordination.
About 6 months before the event, we showed her a pinterest board with some inspo and vibes and had a call to walk through it. She prepared a proposal and it was clear she totally got it. From that point, we let her run with everything and felt super comfortable being low touch because we knew she was on top of it all. A month or two out, she connected with all the vendors and led our coordination with them. Along the way, she had vendor recs and a bunch of ideas for us, all of which were great. She wasn't pushy about anything, worked magic with our budget, and managed to keep us to our deadlines through some very nice reminder emails. Every email from Tara made us smile and got us more excited.
We walked into our venue on the day of our event and were blown away. Our guests came up to us all night asking how we pulled off this transformation from a very basic rooftop bar to a tropical, lush, romantic escape. Tara and team!!! They truly killed it. We feel so lucky to have been connected to such an awesome, talented, fun team. -

Jane Sent on 06/11/2024Tara Keleher Is the Joy and Magic Fairy!
When we were looking for a wedding planner to help with our daughter’s wedding in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we had no real experience and were just using our instincts to choose someone whose positive energy and ideas seemed to fit with our daughter’s vision. When we hired Tara, we were mostly just thinking about the heavy lift of planning and executing a wedding in Brooklyn from our home in Connecticut. We had no idea of the huge talent and expertise that she would bring to our event, and the breathtaking magic she would create with her true heart of gold for our daughter and her (now) husband. Tara is not only an extraordinarily professional planner, who carries every detail of the planning and execution (so you don’t have to!), but who also brings her deep experience as a floral and graphic designer. Not only did she manage and organize all the vendors and details (“the deets!” as she says!), she also picked up on every clue dropped by our daughter and her fiance to bring to life a perfect and spectacular wedding, from the smallest flourishes of design on the signage, to the exquisite flower and candle tablescapes, to the extraordinary garden in the sky she created as the setting for the ceremony and the reception. Even more importantly, Tara believes in magic, and she invests every aspect of her work with inspired insight into the hopes and dreams of her clients. For our daughter’s wedding, she created an atmosphere that was full of joy, beauty, and celebration, and there was so much love for our bride and groom in every single detail. Love and joy floated on the air with the rich scent of the fabulous flowers. On top of that, she managed a virtual army of assistants and other vendors during the wedding week and through that weekend like a perfectly choreographed ballet. Tara is an extraordinarily gifted and hard-working professional, but even more, she has a deeply giving spirit, full of positive energy and care for others, with the vision, talent, and energy to deliver the perfect experience for any couple and their families. Indeed, Tara becomes family, and a friend for life. -

She is Magical
Magic doesn’t even begin to cover all that Tara and her team create. Her light, her energy, her love is infectious and her creativity knows no bounds. She took every whim and made it a reality, and any concern she addressed with a confidence and urgency that puts you at ease.
Hiring Tara will let you be present and fully enjoy every moment of your day. We hosted a NYE reception for our guests after eloping earlier this year. We didn’t have a sit down formal dinner due to the time of the event, which made me a little nervous. Tara made sure everyone still felt like they were taken care of, and focused on how to make everyone feel just how special they are to us.
Our NYE was easily one of the most beautiful nights, and she has seamlessly folded into our hearts. Coming from a family with an events company, I cannot recommend her enough.
She is the greatest gift you can give yourself, and I’m so thankful for everything she did for us. -

Ali S. Sent on 11/28/2023Brides, you need Tara— trust me!
WOW! Where do I even begin with the wonder that is Tara and Mixed Co?! Tara is an incredible person—fun to be around, outgoing, and bubbly, while also being brilliantly creative, extremely organized, and ridiculously fast to respond to any inquiry.
As a Type A bride who works in corporate event planning, I wasn't sure if I could let go of the reins. But let me tell you, handing things over to Tara was the best decision I made (second to saying "I do" to my husband). Seriously. The fact that she really does have a versatile "mixed" bag of skills she does (and does them all SOOOO WELL) is a HUGE asset to the wedding day. From the moment I met her, I knew Tara "got" me. She completely understood my vision and found ways to bring it to life that I never could have imagined. Through hiccups that naturally come about pre + day-of the wedding, Tara was a magician. Not to mention, I hired Tara (and booked everything) within a 4-month timeline *melting face* but Tara never made me feel like I didn't have enough time— it was always "not to worry, we'll get this done" tone and mentality. No matter how big of an idea, tight our timeline, or impossible our requests were, Tara was the master at making it happen. Tara is organized, creative, kind, and a genuine joy to work with. I am looking for some type of additional life event to throw so I can work with her again (not kidding, yes my husband wants to kill me but also he's all about the Tara love fest!).
I had a lot of extras going on day-of (I did a singing performance number with 12 dancers, ha!), DIY space/wedding, short timeline, non-traditional wedding, very random requests—no matter what I wanted/needed Tara was there for ALL OF IT being encouraging while advising, guiding... really, life-saving. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Tara is truly a visionary. Even better, she makes the process fun and stress free with her perfect mix of foresight, intelligence and fun. -

Excellent in every way. She brought our dream to life
Tara is family, plain and simple. From the first meeting, where she spent time with us in Miami, the love we all felt was amazing. And when we entered the venue for the wedding, she was crying‼️ But underneath this heart of gold is a true professional who did the most unbelievably fantastic job in a venue that was not easy to work in. And she did it largely from out of town (New York to Miami). She is also the most talented floral designer I have ever seen. The types of flowers and the arrangements that she herself designed were breathtaking and perfectly suited to the tropical locale. Every single detail was perfect, there was not a flaw. Above all knowing she was running everything allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every minute. Thank you Tara, you are forever in our lives❤️❤️❤️ -

A 5-star review simply does not do it justice!
Tara and her team are absolutely phenomenal!! Tara's attention to detail, sense of urgency, endless creativity and incredible optimism allowed us to take a step back and truly enjoy our wedding day. We cannot thank the Tara enough for making everything so spectular and stress-free.
We promise you will not regret working with the Mixed Company team!! -

Beyond Talented!
WOW! Tara took our vision (and very little guidance) and delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The flowers for our wedding were unique and fit the venue perfectly. I still can't get over my bouquet - I've never seen anything like it.
Tara herself was also a dream to work with - she made everything easy and ran with my vision. I gave very little guidance and she asked all the right questions to understand what we were looking to create. -

The BEST Planner & Florals & Decor!!!!
Where do I begin, Tara is simply the BEST. We eloped but still wanted to throw a big party in Brooklyn with our family and friends. We interviewed a few planners and after talking to Tara, we just knew, our gut told us - she’s the one! She just exudesss happiness and excitement, and it’s so clear how much she loves her job. Her energy and enthusiasm for this industry is just unmatched. Throwing a wedding party can be so overwhelming, there are so many, too many options and first time going through this, I just had no clue. Tara guided us allll the way, with everything - food, engaging with the venue, alcohol, decor, florals, the VIBE!, and just everything in between, while still respecting our preferences/thoughts. She was very on top of everything, which I very much needed (I can be a bit lazy) giving me deadlines, to-do’s, who to contact and just making sure I’m on track. She responds to your questions right away and makes you feel like you’re the most important person. Speaking of me being lazy, Tara is also a one stop shop! This was very important to me. Her and her team handled all the decors, florals and print outs/signs. She guided me through my vision, offered advice on how to make it better, and the final product, the decor and florals, looked AMAZING - it looked exactly what I had envisioned plus 1000x. I cannot recommend Tara enough - also she’s just a very genuine, FUN person to work with. When you talk to her your day gets a little brighter and you feel like you can actually survive this wedding planning process. I’m a huge Tara fan and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future! Thank you Tara!!!! -

A true design visionary
We met Tara about a year and a half before our wedding — when we knew very little about what we wanted out of our day but knew we had to book something soon or we'd be competing with a bunch of other couples for a fall 2022 wedding. We were drawn to her energy and bonded over our experiences living around the world. Ultimately, that became the genesis of our wedding theme. Tara took us on a handful of venue tours and the one we went with instantly had us bubbling with ideas that reflected our journey has a couple. But with so many ideas, we weren't sure how they'd all tie together. All we told her is what we wanted it to feel immersive and transportive. She hung on to those inspo words for all 1.5 years of planning.
As our concepts developed, Tara was supportive of our vision the whole way — taking our questions, thoughts, concerns, and notes into consideration and executed an unbelievable event beyond what we could've imagined. All of it worked together seamlessly, even last-minute curveballs like a surprise grand entrance and birthday videos! She's a true master of florals and turned around graphics quickly — all with so much humor along the way. We were so in love with her floral work, we're drying and embedding the bouquet and bar pieces into future furniture so we can adore them forever. Thank you Tara for putting together all our crazy ideas. We won't soon forget it. -

Paige Sent on 12/04/2022So much more than an event planner
We hired Tara and Mixed Company as a partial planner and day-of coordinator for our wedding, but she was so much more than that. Tara was at times a pre-wedding therapist, a mediator, a decision maker, a project manager, a creative director, a producer, and a right hand woman. The day wouldn't have been nearly as spectacular as it was without her.
Tara is organized, efficient, knowledgable, and truly such a lovely and amazing person to work with. We hired her about a year out from our big day, and she immediately provided us with tools and resources to stay organized and on track with our planning. Whenever we had a question, she responded in a timely and helpful manner and we knew she was always keeping our best interest in mind.
The month leading up to the wedding, we felt like we were Tara's #1 priority. She kept in touch in a way that made us feel like we were taken care of and prepared for our big day. The day of our wedding she was like a wedding fairy, directing our wedding party, seamlessly managing our vendors, offering words of affirmation, providing unconditional support, and always smiling.
We couldn't recommend working with Tara and Mixed Company enough. You and your event will be in the best of hands! -

Lauren Sent on 11/10/2022Tara x Mixed Company - The Best Wedding Decision EVER
Prospective couples - lots of gushing to come but simply put - Tara is the ABSOLUTE BEST OF THE BEST & you NEED her as your wedding planner!!! Best wedding decision of all time (other than picking my husband). She does it ALL (florals, signage, decor, executing, designing & planning) & does it better than we could have even imagined.
When I tell you that Tara & her team went above & BEYOND to create the wedding of our dreams that STILL feels like an understatement. When I was first starting out my planning journey - having worked in the wedding industry - I didn't think I needed a wedding planner. Boy was I wrong. From the moment I spoke to Tara on our introductory Zoom call I knew she was the real deal. I interviewed around 10 different wedding planners (Type A bride over here) but from the moment my fiancé and I spoke with Tara she absolutely just GOT us.
Not only is she one of the most creative, innovative, talented, magical, hardworking & BADASS people I've ever met she is also the absolute kindest most loving soul on TOP of that which is so incredibly rare to find. Her vision is out of this world, her passion is palpable & she is also just the most amazing person to work with.
AND with her full & partial planning services she gave us the most breathtaking florals I have ever seen. The moments she was able to create for us & our guests were just perfection - her attention to detail is unmatched as is her pricing. I interviewed planners literally 10x Tara's cost who weren't even offering a fraction of all that Mixed Company does.
Tara does it all. She connected us with other dream vendors, she sourced the most stunning florals I have ever seen & used them to PERFECTION, she DESIGNED all of our signage, she MADE us a full floral wall, she made sure everything ran smoothly, she held our hands literally & figuratively through it all with the best attitude & enthusiasm I have ever seen. The planning PDFs she sent us were meticulous & awe inspiring and then she actually made them a reality!! And every single member of her team that came to execute on the day were just so incredibly kind, helpful & talented as well.
Our families, guests & other vendors were all as in love with Tara as we were - our wedding would not have been complete without her. Tara took our vision & made it better than we could have imagined.
We had so many of our guests say that our wedding was the most love filled & stunning one that they had ever been to & that would not have been possible without Tara.
Tara - we love you so much seriously!!! You were more than our planner you are a friend for life & we still can't thank you enough.
Couples - you have a lot of hard choices when it comes to your wedding - hiring Tara & Mixed Company is the best & easiest one you could make :) -

Annie Sent on 10/06/2022The best decision you'll ever make!
I got to know Tara as Matron of Honor in my very best friend's wedding. It was the event of the CENTURY - an extravagant, Old Hollywood, many-days-long soiree held in gorgeous spaces around Brooklyn's Williamsburg. Everything Tara touched turned to gold - the decor was fabulous, the timing was flawless (especially of the reception), the vibes were EXACTLY representative of the couple and their love for each other. She took my best friend's vision and not only brought it to life but permanently impressed the weekend on every single guest's memory forever and ever. She's a miracle worker, the kindest soul you'll ever meet, supportive in the best way, and damn good at her job. Hire her immediately -

Beautifully designed, enjoyable to work with, and a joy from the moment we met.
Tara was a dream from start to finish. James and I live in Australia, but we’re flying into NYC for our wedding. I needed someone to be my eyes and ears on the ground and she delivered! But what really drew me to MixedcompanyNyc was Tara’s aesthetic and clear love for what she does. The plants and flowers she helps you choose are not only beautiful, but treated by her and the team like they are their children.
She keeps you updated, she is accomodating, she is creative, she is fun, she is patient and most importantly, she is kind. I could not recommend her more highly.
If you are lucky enough to work with her, I promise you will not regret it or ever forget it! -

We had heard from so many friends about how stressful planning their wedding was. We were in LA and planning a wedding out on Long Island and Tara made it fun and easy. She was there at every turn, making sure we got what we wanted and no detail was too small. She's so much more than a wedding planner. Her design aesthetic, especially with florals, brought my wife's vision board to life and in the end, we had such a magical and amazing wedding. experience. She always had a smile and it was such a great experience working with her and her team. -

Spectacular!
We had an opportunity to work with Tara on a wedding at Mama Farm. Her ability to multi-task and effortlessly oversee several key areas of production made the wedding a great success. A very sophisticated and demanding client walked away extremely happy from the experience. Tara's eye for design in combination with her insight into the couple's vision and a vast background of experience made for an evening of dreams come true. We can't wait to work with her on the next one! -

TARA!!! Omg. Easily the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. I was stubborn and thought I didn't need a partial planner - boy, was I wrong. She made the entire experience and day seamless, and I don't know what I would've done without her. On a more personal level, she handled bride stress like a champ (held my hand when I stress cried, made me laugh until my stomach hurt always). She felt like a friend and I am SO grateful for her. All my friends, family, and vendors are still talking about how fun, funny, and how much of a BOSS lady she is!!!! HIRE HER!!!! -

Tara & Mixed Company Do it All!
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in King of Prussia, PA and have been using Mixed Company for our annual gala in New York City since the inaugural event in 2016. Tara and her team are professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with. Each year, we theme our gala based off a simple yet encouraging phrase—Tara and her team turn that phrase into the entire décor and atmosphere of the evening. Their décor brings hope to so many in our community facing a challenging situation – and her work has truly elevated how we present our brand. From edible takeaways to step and repeats made from a flower wall, Mixed Company does it all and with a lot of fun! It’s an honor to work with Mixed Company each year and we truly miss them (especially Tara and her positive, radiant attitude) post-event. -

If you do anything for yourself - HIRE MIXED COMPANY. Tara did our month of coordination along with our flowers.
We were BLOWN away with her work. I find it rare when someone goes above and beyond your expectations - I couldn't believe how our venue looked. It was beyond a dream. Exactly what we envisioned and more.
As for coordination - Tara doesnt miss a beat. Kept us on track, kept our vendors on top of it. Our day went off without a hitch - or if there was a hitch I didnt know about it !! Couldn't have been happier with our choice -

Tara at Mixed Company was a huge source of joy throughout our wedding process. Our wedding timeline was extremely long due to COVID, but Tara stuck with us through all of it. As a coordinator, she’s professional, communicative, and a much needed source of positivity when things get crazy. She also filled in last minute as our florist and did a RIDICULOUSLY beautiful job. She’s truly great at what she does. If we had to do it all over again, we’d go with Tara every single time. -

Tara is professional, talented, and positive. She is truly a "wedding doula", supporting the couple through enhanced vision and gorgeous execution.

Tara is an amazing planner/coordinator and overall just an amazing person. I got married over a year ago and we still stay in touch! She has great enthusiasm and exudes positive vibes which my husband and I didn't realize how much we needed that till the week of the wedding! We pulled off a 150 person wedding in 10 weeks and she was with us for the last 6. She was great at organizing and communicating with us and all of our vendors, even over the holidays as we got married Jan 5. She made sure the only thing I had to worry about the day of the wedding were my steps for my first dance.
We also had Tara do the flowers for our wedding. I love a good flower arrangement but our budget was tight as I insisted on having lights over the dance floor. Tara made it work! She found a way to do our ceremony, reception tables, cocktail hour tables, and all the bridal party flowers! I cannot recommend Tara and her team enough! -

Coordinator/Florist
Not enough people talk about the importance of a good coordinator. At first, I thought we’d be fine without one. I was SO wrong, and after working with Tara and Mixed Company, I can hands down say that hiring her as a coordinator was the BEST money we spent. Even better was that she was our florist so not only did she work with us closely on the whole day, she understood the vibe we wanted perfectly and was able to bring that to life through the flowers (and last minute, she helped us with my hairpiece and my husbands boutonnière). I’ll never forget walking into the venue for the first time and seeing everything and just being blown away by how perfect it all looked.
She recommended all the right things before the big day, and helped us when one of our vendors put us in a bind last minute. On the day of, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Our guests commented on how smoothly the whole night ran, and were so impressed with the quality of the entire evening. We had a lot of moving pieces & you would have never known as it all felt like one thing. Everyone always says that you should expect something to go wrong on your wedding day, but with Tara and her staff, the day went off without one single issue.
Throughout the day, she posted some pics and videos on her companies IG (which we wanted) and it was so fun to be able to see more of the event b/c so much happens on the day of, and I felt like she was an extra set of eyes and ears everywhere. I am so grateful for those extra pics and videos.
I cannot recommend Tara and Mixed Company NYC enough. -

We met Tara after our initial wedding planner had to leave town for an extended period of time during our big day. I was weary about involving anyone new, but Tara came in ready to work, and picked up everything mid-project to guide us as though she'd been there all along. Now that it's over I can't imagine it going half as well had we not had her. -

Tara is the best!
There are a lot of planners and florists on WeddingWire, but Tara’s the only one who I knew right off the bat really truly understood our vibe, style and aesthetic. She is high-energy and organized AF - as my mother in law put it “a planner on steroids”. She is a double-threat and is also THE MOST killer floral designer ever. Let’s face it: we’ve all been to a lot of weddings where the flowers were nice but you can’t remember them the next morning. If you want flowers ppl can’t get enough pictures of and still remember long after the party, if you want your wedding to run smoothly and look beyond perfect, GO WITH TARA. She LISTENS, she makes IT SPECIAL, and absofreakinglutely GORGEOUS. -

Speechless
WOW! Words can not express my gratitude for Mixed and Company. From the very first conversation with Tara we knew our experience was going to be nothing short of amazing. Tara went above and beyond for our day. She was so calm and extremely organized and more importantly she felt like she was part of the family. She made sure everything was taken care of and our vision came to life. Her attention to detail and her talent are second to none. The floral arrangements were out of this world and way beyond my expectations. Tara is a rock star and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect person to entrust to make our day as exceptional as it could be. It was one for the books and I am beyond thankful to have her. -

Lauren Sent on 07/16/2019Tara Saved the Day!
I cannot speak highly enough of Tara - she joined us a month before our wedding and took over all the planning seamlessly and professionally. She's a TON of fun and really helped with our pre-wedding nerves. She made our vision for our wedding come to life, and we couldn't have done it without her!
For the details - During our first meeting, she clearly outlined what she needed from us and the handoff was really simple. I passed off all of my Google docs, powerpoints, random emails and notes... and somehow she distilled all of it into one master planning document that was clear and concise. She then got in touch with our vendors and stayed in communication them leading up to the wedding - everyone was clear about the schedule, did what they were hired to do, and got paid in a timely manner.
On the day-of, she met everyone at the space and made sure things were running smoothly. Not only did I trust her to make sure everything was running according to plan, I also trusted her with last-minute creative decisions and making sure the space looked beautiful - which was a huge relief. I was a ball of nerves right before the ceremony, which she helped calm!
She also was really helpful during the reception. Checking in only when she needed to, but was also really accessible and helped with some last-minute changes like lighting, music, etc.
My entire family loved working with her. Thank you Tara!! -

Book Mixed Company Now:)
I have worked with Tara on about 5 events now, from bringing a digital community offline, to fundraising for a local and beloved institution, to an intimate mixer and I HIGHLY recommend this team. Tara and Mixed Company are everything you want in an event designer and planner. Tara's attitude is the perfect mix of super professional and fun. Tara is a brilliant creative, immediately catching on to your references or directing an entire theme or ambiance from scratch. She is an incredible (and hilarious) communicator, on top of her game in her e-email communication and tackling the whole to do list, big and small in the most organized way. Also, she is so funny and makes the event planning process what it should be-- fun and creative! Do not look elsewhere. Book Tara for your next event and you and treat your guests to a night to remember! -

Out of this world, AMAZING designer!
Tara created a magical, BEAUTIFUL "Night in Wonderland" event for The Fresh Air Fund (142+ year old NYC-based non-profit org) in a basic ballroom space. She literally created pure magic and left no detail untouched. The expectations of this annual event are very high and she went above in beyond in capturing the FUN, beauty, and elegance of this event. I have attended and organized hundreds of events and this was by the most stunning creation I've ever seen. Tara is an absolute pleasure to work with! Her enthusiasm, creativity, warmth, and professionalism comes through with every interaction. I absolutely adore working with her, her vision and cannot wait to work with her again (she is currently designing a Spring Gala design for us)! LOVE LOVE LOVE Mixed Company!! -

Jacquelyn Sent on 09/02/2018If you're cruising through reviews of florists looking for the team that will make all your wedding bloom dreams come true... STOP NOW... you've found them.
Of every vendor we worked with to plan our special day, Tara took the cake for being the absolute BEST! All I did was share some floral inspiration via email, the color scheme for my wedding, and voila, our florals day-of were absolute perfection. I honestly could not have dreamed of anything any more beautiful than what she created.
Tara's responsiveness and flexibility throughout all the planning was unreal, and every email we got from Tara magnified how much we were looking forward to our big day. She brought excitement and top-notch quality to every conversation, and I truly feel she went above and beyond in ensuring everything was perfect (i.e., going to our venue on her own to better understand the space, including me on every decision so everything was perfect, tagging me in every Instagram post she shared as she shopped for our blooms... the list goes on).
AND! If that's not enough to convince you, EVERYONE at our wedding asked for her business card. From our guests to our coordinator to our Maitre d'... everyone was head over heels impressed.
I will be forever grateful that Tara and Mixed Company NYC were a part of our special day. I am certain that our wedding planning, the big day, our photos and our memories of it all were all that much more beautiful thanks to her and her team!
THANK YOU, TARA! -

Lauren Sent on 08/29/2018Tara is an absolute gem in so many ways. We had no idea what kind of services we wanted going into the wedding and Tara worked with us to create the perfect package - day of coordinating and florals. She was so patient, accommodating and kind - not to mention we wanted to be best friends with her right away!
Tara was very transparent throughout the whole process and provided a lot of very useful tools & guidance. She gave us detailed breakdowns of all services so we knew exactly what we could expect. Leading up to the wedding, Tara reached out to all our vendors and created relationships with them - taking a huge weight off our shoulders. We felt really comfortable handing over the reigns to such a competent & thoughtful professional. Tara then created the most glorious timeline of our wedding - it was truly a thing of beauty. This timeline laid out what every vendor & person in the wedding was expected to do and when - from set up to break down. All our vendors were blown away by Tara's preparedness and dedication.
and the FLOWERS my goodness - we told her we wanted lots of greens, air plants, ferns, succulents and some blooms and she knocked it out of the park. We had the most magical tablescapes and incredible arrangements. Tara came with us to the venue before the wedding and had the brilliant idea of creating a floral canopy between the two trees we would be married under - it was AMAZING. She also created a hay couch area with floating lanterns and blankies that was a perfect spot to have a drink and get your picture taken. The bouquets she made were perfection. She thought of everything and had great ideas.
We are so thrilled with everything that Tara did for us and could not recommend her enough. You will be in great hands - she is the absolute best. -

Clare Sent on 08/07/2018We hired Tara as our Day of Coordinator & it was the best decision we made! She is one of the most electric ladies I know & we had a connection right off the bat. I could tell she was genuinely excited about working together on our very DIY wedding.
I wasn’t too nervous to plan (i have experience with vendors/planning/design) but we also didn't know the in’s & outs. She was encouraging the entire way. Tara was happy to answer my quick random questions & request’s for a pep talk’s from when we first booked up until even after the wedding. Aside from the fact she makes you feel confident, beautiful & brilliant, her design aesthetics are magical & on point; She has amazing style & taste! She is thoughtful & realistic about every detail to keep the wedding day vibe, expectations, and schedule in check & you are totally able to trust her. No stress! Another box checked off the “Mixed Company So Great Because…” list.
On the wedding day Tara and Peter were exceptional! They *jujj-ed* the room that our wedding party & Tara+Peter collaborated on earlier in the day & really brought magic/ life to the space. She created a handful floral arrangements for us & put together addtl. bud vases to accompany what my bridal team and created the day before. She also created a cascading balloon garland because she knew I was obsessed! If there were issues we didn't know, Tara was in control of everyone/thing & we were able to be present & enjoy our big day! My sister, who came to help two weeks before the wedding, was also v emotional & appreciative of how fantastic it was to work with her.
Listen, Tara is a sparkle magic sunshine goddess. Your wedding really is a whirlwind when you finally sit down to reflect & we could not have have experienced such a beautiful day without her. You will miss Tara when it's over! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. You made one of the most special days of our lives a true dream. Like we always say #forevermeanseverymoment XOXOXO -

Maya Sent on 04/27/2018My team has worked with Tara on two awesome media/influencer events for organic baby food brand Plum Organics, and she has become our go-to for any and all NYC events we do! Our brand has a very specific aesthetic and Tara grasped it right away! We started working together only a week before our first product launch event (a family brunch at abcV) and she pulled off a BEAUTIFUL display with product vignettes, branded decals, painted gourds, garlands using our product lids and seasonal florals that fit the space and our brand perfectly.
For our second event together this past February -- an evening panel event -- she created an amazing, lush floral branded backdrop that was a huge hit along with lots of other small, detailed touches that made the space feel really special. Tara and her team are speedy, positive, professional, versatile and able to solve any problem that comes their way onsite. You will be in great hands!! -

Ann Sent on 03/05/2018Tara Keleher is one of the most talented and exceptional people I have ever met. Her imagination, creativity, and unique ability to convey ideas in accessible manner are unparalleled. Simply put, Tara is magic.
Before meeting Tara, the state of our wedding planning was a mess, taking increasingly large toll on both of us. Add to this the fact that my wife and I are strong-willed, stubborn and generally challenging individuals and the sheer scale of her work was cut out. On short notice, Tara entered this unknown, chaotic situation with ease and grace. From start to finish, she navigated this hectic and fluctuating landscape with an efficiency and dedication to excellence that is nothing short of miraculous.
Looking back on our first meeting, I realize that by the end she knew exactly what we wanted (...all the more impressive because we did not). After, I will never forget looking in one another’s eyes and just feeling the stress and anxiety that had pervaded the past five months disappear, replaced by confidence and optimism. That Tara could inspire this and continue to bring out the best in us is utterly remarkable and impossible to properly convey in words. Throughout the process things only got better. Not once did she falter and the result was more than we could have expected in our wildest dreams.
She was the friend we needed, the caring yet forceful nudge we so absolutely required and the planner everyone on this earth should have (hopefully this blurb will do its job and set you on the right path).
Tara, for that, for your undying spirit, your fierce devotion and, most of all, your loving friendship, we thank you, we love you and are eternally grateful.
xx Ann & Willy

Alicia Sent on 11/17/2017Tara and Peter are amazing at everything they do! Tara did our florals and day-of coordination for our October 2017 wedding and she is a dream to work with. She took everything our crazy brains stirred up and beautifully delivered the alter and florals of our dreams!! Her enthusiasm and personality bring so much to the table and it makes you so excited to be working with her. She flawlessly executed every particular detail we put our blood, sweat, and tears into over the last year and a half. We cannot thank her enough for the most beautiful and perfect night (and day) of our lives!! If anything went wrong we never knew about it. I SO hope that we get to work together in the future!
I would 100% recommend Mixed Company to anyone. Do it, now! You won't regret it! -

Bridget Sent on 04/06/2023Mixed Company brings HOPE to Hope Rising
Our organization has hired Tara and Mixed Company for our annual NYC benefit gala since the inaugural event in 2016 and every year we are AMAZED by the results. Tara and her team are thoughtful, professional, and (most importantly) fun. They take our theme of “hope” and make everyone in the room that evening feel it—from subtle to significant décor elements. It’s truly an honor to work with Tara and Mixed Company. We will absolutely hire them again for our 2024 benefit. -
