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.

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. -

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!! -

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. -

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.Mixed Company NYC's reply:
TEARS OF JOY. Way to make my day Helen J ! And RIGHT back at you! It was SUCH a pleasure. Thank you for the opportunity! XOTK

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!!!! -

Paige G. 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!Mixed Company NYC's reply:
Typing through tears. Thank you SO much for these kind words you angels. I'm so glad our paths crossed. I have a feeling it was destiny and I can't WAIT for what's to come with you two love birds! -

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.Mixed Company NYC's reply:
The BEST. We had a fabulous time didn't we! Thank YOU so much for taking the time to tell our story! It was a real slice of heaven. N&N Forever. -

Lauren K. 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 :) -

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!Mixed Company NYC's reply:
Thank you so much. Our time together was the most fun.... We have to do it all over again soon. I'll miss you too much! XOTK -

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!!!!
