SO thankful for our incredible experience with Tracy!
We absolutely LOVED our experience with Tracy! I found these reviews to be VERY helpful during the process of selecting someone to work with, so I did my best to be as detailed as possible (so it’s a bit of a read)! Moral of the story: Tracy is amazing and made our dream wedding happen and I can’t imagine working with anyone else. We used Tracy's services as both a wedding planner and travel coordinator. If you can swing it, I HIGHLY recommend using a dedicated planner to coordinate everything with vendors, resorts, and guests (it reduced SO much stress). Below is a breakdown on how the process worked with Tracy.
When my now husband and I were looking to get married outside the US the entire process felt overwhelming. We stumbled across Tracy's page here and immediately were impressed by the photos of her weddings and quick response. I initially reached out to several planners and Tracy responded immediately and was able to meet with us via Zoom within the week (while some of the others I couldn't meet with for a few weeks and were far less responsive via email). For our initial meeting we talked about our general thoughts about our wedding, budget, general guest count, what we were looking for in a planner, and just about us as a couple. She was able to quickly come up with a quote for her services (which was very reasonable, and worth EVERY penny!). She didn't pressure us, but we knew immediately this was the right fit!
From there, we filled out a very detailed survey with more specific preferences and ideas about things like preferred dates and locations, all inclusive vs not, family friendly vs adults only, large resort vs boutique, our budget, what we want our guests to spend per night, beach vs tropical, night life options, etc. that she used to create an incredible presentation of different options of resorts and dates for our event (I think she presented about 5 or 6 different detailed options). She contacted all of these resorts to confirm dates of availability and was able to give honest pros and cons to each choice (even helping us to consider things like weather in certain times of year, costs of vendors depending on location, extra fees that different resorts charge, what their packages include with a quote, distance from airport, room types, and SO many other important notes to consider). We chose the Valentin Imperial Riveria Maya (she has done many weddings here-- even several between the time we booked her and our wedding). She coordinated the contracts and payments with the resort and all vendors.
She made our wedding website and helped us get our save the dates out. She helped get all of our guests booked through our block (as required by the resort) and answer all their questions. She was very responsive to both us and our guests. She even would talk through booking on the phone with some of our guests who needed help.
We met via Zoom about once a month (a little more frequent when we got closer) to create our vision board, decide on vendors, talk about design, etc. She made it so easy for us by presenting us with lots of options about all the elements and vendors we can consider including in our weekend (ex: offered us several available photographers with samples and costs or extra reception entertainment options and their pros and cons). She was the primary contact to all vendors which made it SO easy for us. She has long relationships with a lot of the people and companies she works with and was able to get us lots of “extras” for us. She was an incredible negotiator for us, and certainly got us the best deals and highest quality vendors! She kept us organized by providing us with updates of her work and lists of what we needed to do to stay on track. She helped put together a timeline that kept things running smoothly!
She has an incredible eye for design. We used her services for a lot of our design elements including invitations, guest hotel bags, printwork (like menus, welcome cards, etc.). We collaborated using Pinterest and mood boards for the overall feel and elements we liked. We got to see proofs for everything and make any adjustments we wanted.
When it came time for the wedding she went down to the resort a day before us to meet with some of the vendors and ensure things were set for our arrival. She greeted us at the resort and set us up with some very thoughtful touches! She helped to greet all of our guests and get them their giftbags and ensure easy check in. We had a couple brief meetings and check ins during the week and had plenty of time to enjoy the resort. She helped communicate with the resort coordinators to ensure we got the best set up possible, and that all of our preferences were taken into account. She helped ensure our guests were well taken care of– even when issues popped up during the week. She also coordinated our welcome party-- including dinner, signature cocktails, a churro cart, and a private set up just for our party. The day of the event she was busy getting everything set up and coordinating with all of the vendors and resort coordinators. She kept in contact with me and gave me any needed updates, but took care of so many things I’m sure I never even knew were concerns!
The event itself was beautiful and everything we could’ve dreamed of. We got (and continue to get) SO many compliments on our wedding and reception from our guests. Many of them said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! Although I’m biased, I agree it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to! The decorations, the entertainment, the location, the smooth flow of the day, the detailed touches, and so much more came together so perfectly.
She also helped coordinate our "minimoon" directly after the wedding weekend at Secrets Impressions Moxche. We wanted to wait for a bigger honeymoon later this year but having some time to decompress and unwind at this luxury resort was AMAZING! We gave her our budget, wishes, requests, and top priorities and she presented us with a wide range of options for our desired dates. It was incredible and again, we felt SO taken care of!
I feel so lucky to have worked with Tracy, and feel lucky to now consider her a friend! We look forward to using her as a travel agent for future trips and recommending her to anyone that is considering a destination wedding!

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya
Tracy and the French Connection Events team were an absolute dream to work with for our destination wedding. From the very first conversation, she brought a level of professionalism, warmth, and calm that made the entire planning process feel effortless. Every detail was handled with care, every question was met with thoughtful guidance, and her local expertise made all the difference. Our wedding day was seamless, beautiful, and truly unforgettable — all thanks to Tracy’s dedication and talent. We’re so grateful for everything she did to bring our vision to life.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Perfect Destination Wedding
We worked with Tracy for our destination wedding at SLS Playa Mujeres in November 2025 and appreciated her support throughout the planning process as well as with coordinating the logistics of the wedding day itself. She was professional, responsive, and well organized, helping us stay on track with timelines, vendor communication, and key planning milestones. Tracy is experienced and brought a structured approach to the process.
She provided clear guidance throughout the process and was consistently accommodating of our requests.
Wedding planning can be a challenging process at times, but in the end the day came together well and truly exceeded our expectations!
Tracy also served as a great liaison with the hotel wedding coordinator, helping facilitate communication and coordination, which was helpful given that the hotel was relatively new. We appreciate the time and effort she contributed toward bringing the day together.
Overall, we appreciate the time, effort, and organizational support Tracy contributed toward bringing our wedding day together and helping ensure that everything ran even better than planned.

Best Wedding EVER!
I just married the love of my life on June 7th at the stunning Valentin Imperial in Mexico, and it was everything I dreamed of and more!
None of it would have been possible without Tracy French from The French Connection Events & Travel.
Tracy was my go-to for everything – she was both my travel agent and my full-service destination wedding planner!
From coordinating all our vendors, like hair and makeup, photography, and floral décor, to managing our group wedding room block, she handled it all.
Tracy took my Pinterest dreams and made them a reality!-

Perfect Destination Wedding
Tracy, as I sit here reflecting on our beautiful Destination Wedding in Mexico, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for your exceptional role in making it a reality. Your dedication, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment were truly remarkable. I genuinely believe that without your expertise, I would have been lost in the intricacies of planning such an event. You not only guided us through the process but also went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests.
Your diligent work and ability to bring our vision to life were invaluable. You were a tremendous part of our wedding and I can’t thank you enough. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have been possible without you. Your professionalism and your warm, accommodating nature made the experience even more special. Thank you Tracy for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. You’re not just our wedding planner; you’re a true magician!

Best Service for a busy bride!
From beginning to the wedding day everything was handled perfectly. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I told Tracy what I envisioned and she pulled it all together for me. She has great relationships with the best vendors and I trusted her judgement. Some of my guests had a little push back on the booking process but I knew it benefited that everyone to book as both Tracy and the resort required. Once my friends I supported her it was no problem.
I think hiring Tracy was the best decision I could have made for planning of my destination wedding in Mexico!-

Mother of Bride Destination Wedding success
My daughters wedding came to life just as she had visioned and planned with Tracy French as her planner. We had an amazing experience and the wedding and all planned events were perfect. We could not have been happier with her services. Our daughter was all smiles the entire week at Tulum. Having Tracy allowed us to just enjoy our time with family and friends and make lasting memories. Thanks TracyTracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Wonderful wedding thanks to planning by Tracy!
Tracy is wonderful and I am very confident that without her, our Destination wedding would not have been the huge success that it was. From the beginning of the wedding planning process, I knew that I wanted to have a destination wedding but had no idea where to start with choosing the right resort. When I started to investigate different resorts and considered touring properties, I was quickly overwhelmed by the different options and amount of cost and time it would take to decide and coordinate a wedding that my guests would love without going insane. I'm so glad I engaged with Tracy when I did because she helped us through every step of the process. She is thoughtful and efficient in her communications and worked with me to understand the vision we had for our day and then presented us with 4 options that fit our vision and budget. She then works with you throughout the entire process to coordinate guest hotel arrangements, work with the resort and all external vendors, and ensure the décor and coordination is all executed flawlessly on the wedding day. My husband and I got to truly enjoy our trip and wedding because I had complete trust in Tracy to ensure that the day ran smoothly and I did not have to worry about all of the little details as I knew that her and her team had it covered. Tracy has the expertise unlike anyone else I found when I was originally searching for a planner and it was wonderful to have that in my corner throughout the wedding planning process. Instead of spending hours and hours researching and coordinating with vendors, I had monthly calls with Tracy where she would present me with options and all I had to do was provide feedback and select from the all-great options that she provided. Tracy coordinates all of the guest travel which was a lifesaver for me, as when my guests asked miscellaneous questions, I was able to direct them to her. There are so many details that go into coordinating travel for a group of 50 including so many questions from individual guests that Tracy handled flawlessly. Everyone had such a great time and I've been asked multiple times when we're all going on our next trip together since they all had such a wonderful time at the wedding. Tracy also comes to the venue to help execute on the actual wedding weekend and this was invaluable to ensuring that everything ran smoothly. For example, the day that Tracy arrived she realized that the location for our welcome party would get very buggy at night and was able to work with the venue to move dinner inside all without me having to do anything. It is so helpful that she is working directly with the resort, as I would never have considered so many of the things the she helped us to execute and coordinate, and resolved little issues as soon as they came up. I would recommend Tracy and the French Connection Events to any Bride looking to plan a destination wedding - I could not have had such a successful event without her help and am truly grateful for all of the work that she did to make our wedding so special.-

Tracy delivers!
Tracy absolutely delivered when it came to our wedding day (week) We chose Cabo on her recomendation for our destination & we could not be more pleased with the Lux experience provided to our guests and us. Casa Del Mar was incredible! Tracy has curated some really special relationships with her vendors over the years and it definitely shows. Planning a wedding in a different country is no easy task, but with her expertise we felt secure in our choices. She was so responsive throughout the whole year and a half of planning we did. I'm a HUGE foodie and this was something I was stressed about being we had never tasted it or seen the resort ourselves. ( I work for a luxury resort, my standards can be unattainable at times) I had a slight fear it wouldn't live up to our expectations and it absolutely surpassed it. A whole new level of stress being responsible for everyone you love & their experience as well. Her research is second to none. I think its really important to be lined up with the perfect person/ planner based on your personality and desires. Tracy has a very large job to do and a timeline to abide by, giving her these reigns is one of the best choices we made. She was the perfect fit for us and I would reccomend her services 1000x over. Tracy, if you ever see this... THANK YOU! Please, come visit if you're ever in NY!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy French Destination Wedding Planner Review
Tracy truly did an exceptional job of planning the destination wedding of our dreams. My now husband and I both have demanding careers and aren’t so good at event planning. So none of this would have been possible without her. Not only did she put together a beautiful and memorable wedding but planned and executed a luxurious vacation for our closest friends and family. Her attention to detail and ability to accommodate some more challenging aspects of our needs and family are deeply appreciated. She provided us with a stress free planning process and a wonderful trip to Mexico start to finish. I’d also like to mention how fun and joyful she was to work with and that is not an easy feat over zoom. From working with my schedule to planning our meetings and truly seeing my vision, she truly exceeded our expectations. What I am most thankful for was her support and kind words when dealing with family hiccups. Her advice will carry with me into the future. I would lastly like to today that she worked very hard to bring us in under budget. What an amazing surprise at the end! I would truly recommend her expertise to anyone planning their destination wedding and will always remember her as a pivotal part to our most special day! Thank you so much Tracy!-

I highly recommend Tracy French if you are planning a destination wedding. She took care of Avery thing. As mother of the bride, all I had to do was show up and enjoy the resort. She is meticulous and extremely organized. For a stress free occasion, you need Tracy French to run your event.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Best Wedding Investment - Worth it
I had my wedding at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya on February 25th, 2022. Wedding planning was done by Tracy French of The French Connection Events & Travel and everything was PERFECT! I had gotten engaged in 2019 and we were originally supposed to do our wedding at Breathless with just a wedding coordinator at the resort and a separate travel agent. Quickly we learned that while the wedding day would be beautiful (I researched the work of Breathless’s wedding coordinator), so many things happen before the wedding. Calling vendors in Mexico is an absolutely pain… they may or may not call you back or email you back will be driven nuts with questions about the wedding from everywhere possible.
Your vision will change, you’ll want to add things to your wedding and remove things, and you will have to handle website and travel for all your guests. We invited 120 ish people and 82 ended up going. Tracy handled not only all the wedding day stuff, planned a welcome party (I’ll post separately), but handled all the travel questions, planning, transportation, etc. I have a very demanding job and work long hours, so I didn’t have time to plan the wedding I wanted. I hired Tracy in September, and from September - December, I put in about 1-1.5 hours of time a month. In January, maybe about 3-4 hours depending on how quickly you respond to emails. Often I was so busy and barely responded to Tracy, but she just ran with my vision and handled everything and reminded me kindly for anything missing. Most of it was sending her money to pay vendors or paying vendors directly. Honestly, I didn’t know what my wedding would actually look/be like until the weekend haha. And it was more than I imagined! If you’re the type of bride that has a vision, and wants to be given a few choices a month that you have to pick from to make it happen, then Tracy is for you!
Valentin is a great resort that met the broadest needs for our guests. They have stellar food, strong drinks, a nice pool, and great daytime entertainment. It’s not a massively party resort, but our guests were pretty chill so we didn’t need a foam party with people pouring shots on people’s mouths in the pool haha. Highly recommend the resort too.
My go-to phrase by the end of all of this was “I don’t know, email or call Tracy” and it was ALL handled. In fact, I’m planning a birthday party this year and my friends are asking when they’re going to receive an email from Tracy (she was not hired for my birthday btw because it’s a small birthday 🤦🏻♀️, but my friends are now spoiled.)
Happy to answer any further questions on what it’s like hiring Tracy French - The French Connection Events and Planning, feel free to dm me!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Our Dream Wedding
We had the most amazing wedding experience in Tulum and it was all thanks to Tracy's hard work. From the moment we contacted her she was on top of everything. We described what we were looking for and she found us the perfect location of Dreams Tulum. We felt 100% confident choosing this location even though we had never been there as Tracy provided detailed information on the property, rooms, and service. I had a vision of my wedding aesthetic but wasn't quite sure on some things, like bridesmaids bouquets, groomsmen suite colors, etc. Tracy was able to fill in those gaps and would always make the best suggestions. She has an eye for detail and design like no one else. We were absolutely blown away by how beautiful everything was. The ceremony and reception looked just like the inspirational photos we had seen, and Tracy even added a few extra details that made it so special. She not only executed a flawless wedding but she also helped with everyones travel. For most of our guests, this was their first time traveling since the start of the pandemic and having Tracy's expert guidance was a huge help to everyone. She put together check lists, tips and reminders which made the travel experience smooth and stress-free for us and our guests. When we arrived at the resort Tracy was there to greet us and made sure everything was going smoothly with our check in. Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing everything was and what a great time they had. Tracy also designed and put together our welcome bags, which everyone loved getting when they checked in. The whole planning process and wedding week was completely stress-free and fun for me because I knew Tracy was taking handling everything with the vendors and resort. She was very hands on and did the most to make sure we had a truly special time with our friends and family. She puts her heart into everything that she does and it shows. We are so grateful to Tracy for making our destination wedding a reality. If you are looking to have a fun wedding experience that you and your guests will remember forever, you have to hire Tracy as your planner!-

Consistent excellence!
I very much enjoyed working with Tracy to plan my wedding. She was hands on and took the reins making the day memorable and seamless. I have a busy law practice so when it came time to plan my husband’s 60th birthday party, I found myself needing Tracy’s help again. She did a fantastic job pulling together ideas I had for the day and working with the venue I had selected. She made the party feel planned and thought out. She took the stress off my shoulders and immediately jumped in to create a party that was memorable and fun. I could not have done it without her!-

Experienced professional with an eye for beauty!
We had a Tulum COVID wedding (mid March 2021) and Tracy was a godsend. From the beginning, we knew we would be working with a lot of constraints. Not only did we want to host a tropical destination wedding in Tulum, but it would be during a global pandemic where all of our guests would be traveling from the US or beyond.
In addition, my then-fiance and I were super busy with work and school, so wanted someone who would be able to manage a COVID destination wedding while bubbling up the important decisions.
Tracy was so incredibly helpful:
- She's extremely experienced in wedding planning, but especially in the area we were working in. This meant she had connections, knew how to work with the local culture, and was experienced with wrangling the vendors.
- She is extremely flexible - she can be as hands on or hands off as you'd like, and was always willing and able to jump on a call to discuss details.
- She has such an eye for beauty and design! This was critical to us because I do not have good aesthetic sense, so wanted a partner who could fill that gap. I had a bunch of unique ideas that would be reflective of our relationship and our culture (Chinese). She not only incorporated and loved these ideas, but elevated them by adding additional elements inspired by these ideas. The end result was absolutely gorgeous, enough that my mother (who is typically very critical and hard to please) was left speechless and incredibly impressed. The location and pictures look like they came out of a catalogue promoting weddings. And many of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to.
All of her skills made her the perfect wedding planner for us. She made wonderful recommendations from flowers to colors to decor. She provided super helpful tips, such as around which decisions are important, wedding pictures (how to hold flowers!), what to include in welcome bags, etc. She worked with us at the perfect level, only surfacing the important discussion points when it was ready (such as budgetary, completed vision board, etc.) and taking ownership of making recommendations.
Finally, this was all under the umbrella of the numerous COVID restrictions and best practices we wanted to put in place (more tables, custom masks, testing requirements, etc.)
I would 1000% recommend Tracy if you want someone who is experienced, flexible, hard working, and will design you the most beautiful wedding!-

We had a fantastic experience with Tracy French with The French Connection!
Tracy is extremely professional and organized. She also has so many connections in Mexico. I would highly recommend her. But the icing on top was her exceptionally good taste.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy is AMAZING!!!!
Tracy created a wedding for us more beautiful than I’d ever dreamed of. She has the best personality! My family and I absolutely love her! She was always there for me with any and all concerns I had. She always got back to me quickly, even at night and on weekends! She made planning our wedding stress free and made sure everything went smoothly. Tracy gave us the most beautiful, fairytale wedding that we will never forget. I absolutely love Tracy and wish we could have live that day all over again!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Absolutely exceeded our expectations!
I cannot recommend The French Connection Events highly enough! Tracy absolutely delivered and gave us the incredibly beautiful, stress-free, and individualized Destination Wedding in Mexico that we were hoping for. Several guests loved the unique, little details of the wedding and ceremony that had never even crossed my mind when initially planning; it was Tracy's expertise and suggestion! With so much experience in planning weddings and organizing with vendors, it's no wonder that The French Connection Events was able to help me successfully celebrate the most important day of my life. Tracy is absolutely wonderful to work with and I could not have pulled off anything remotely close to the wedding Tracy delivered without all of her help. My friends and family all want to use Tracy for their future weddings now! Multiple guests let us know that this was hands down the best wedding that they've ever been to, owing to the gorgeous and individualized work of The French Connection Events! I could not have done it without Tracy. Thank you! :)

I had a vision and couldn't quite put it into words and she definitely brought it to life. It was PERFECT!! I was so lucky to have found Tracy!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Being a Bride To Be is a not only an amazing time but can be VERY overwhelming when it comes to planning! It took my now husband and myself one meeting with Tracy French at French Connections to know that we had come to the PERFECT place to help with all the stress of planning our very important BIG DAY! Tracy and her team were always an email and a phone call away from answering ALL my Bridal questions and concerns. French Connections made our wedding day just what I always dreamed of, a gorgeous, flawless day our guests and my husband and myself will never forget! -Micaela Lopez

Tracy did great job reflecting all I had in mind on my wedding day. All I needed to do is to pin pictures on my Pinterest to give her an idea about what I had in mind. She translated that beautifully. She recommended the vendors ( hair, make up, photography, band...) and I was very happy with their work.
Tracy was always easy to reach either by phone or email, and still she is four months after our wedding!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy French made my dream wedding a reality. Having a destination wedding can be very stressful and difficult to plan from afar especially when you make it a double wedding. Having the assistance of Tracy made the process seamless! It’s was the most important day of our lives and she went above and beyond to make our special day everything we hoped it would be. I seriously can not praise this woman enough! From the wedding details, travel and guest accommodations, design, and coordination she was the absolute best person for the job! Thank you Tracy from the bottom of our hearts!-

Tracy and her team know weddings! She has the best style, and she makes planning exciting and easy. Tracy helped me plan my entire wedding down to the tiniest details while I was living in Alabama! She was so accommodating with my schedule and kept my entire wedding team in check and organized. Not only was the wedding gorgeous and magical (& exactly what I envisioned) it flowed so well and was so much fun! It was truly like a scene in a movie. Tracy was there through the entire process and made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Tracy and her team. My husband and I look back on our wedding day and truly believe it was the most magical day of our lives. Thanks so much Tracy!!!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy and her staff were phenomenal. I cannot say enough, and would give them ten stars if I could. They were wonderful throughout--responsive, professional, and fun to work with--but they really shone when last minute events (weather and construction) forced us to change venues four days before our wedding. Remarkably, the switch was seamless and completely stress-free for my husband and me; Tracy handled everything! And the results were dazzling. Tracy has such great taste, that we were very comfortable leaving all of the specifics in her hands. When we saw the finished product (print work, signage, flowers, table design, favors), it was even better than we'd imagined. She captured exactly what we wanted, but did even better. We are so grateful we found her, and would recommend her and her team to anyone!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
Julie, we just loved working with you and Michael in planning your destination wedding!! Through all of the twist and turns, changing of venues days before it all!! You both were the best! Thank you for your trust in me and thank you for your kind words! -

Our wedding included over 200 guests and The French Connection pulled it off in 2 months! Tracy's network of experienced and reliable vendors coupled with her years of experience made this an extremely efficient planning process. We always found Tracy and her staff to be friendly and professional. They were engaging and full of great ideas. We especially appreciated the way she handled the wedding reception and took charge the entire evening, leaving us to simply enjoy the evening. Well done Tracy and staff, you are the best !!!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

They were on time, were great to work with and so nice. They were patient and we all turned out exactly and as beautiful as we wanted. I would use them again! -

I am very behind writing a much deserved review for Tracy and I cannot say enough good things about her. She really guided my husband and I with our planning and did so in a way that was open, friendly, fun, and extremely helpful! She took the burden of planning from us and got everything arranged the way we wanted it. She kept us on time each step of the process and ensured all our needs were met. Not only did I come away a very happy bride, but made a wonderful friend in the process! Tracy is the best in the business and I highly recommend her to any bride looking for a complete planning experience and day of coordination!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy and TFC was really great at assisting us with our destination wedding planning arrangements. When we first got engaged we didn't really know where to start or what we even wanted as far planning a wedding goes. Tracy and her staff was able to assist us by planning the perfect destination location in my opinion. Without her help and knowledge I don't know what we would have done or if a wedding would have even happen in the time frame we wanted because my wife and I are really busy people with busy work schedule but Tracy and her staff was also able to assist us outside of business hours to make sure we got everything we needed for the our wedding day. Thank you French Connection!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

I would definitely recommend using Tracy French as a wedding planner. Tracy and her team did an outstanding job. The print work was just awesome! Starting with the save the date to the invitations to the napkins, gift bags, drink cups, just everything that needed print work turned out so beautiful! Everything Tracy had a part in turned out outstanding! I don't think "short of being perfect" is in Tracy's work ethics! I highly recommend Tracy to any future bride to help with their wedding. And as for us, we plan to use Tracy for other trips/events as well!! Possibly a reunion with the same wedding attendees!! Yes, it was that much fun, Thanks to Tracy at the French Connection my daughter had her perfect Dream WeddingTracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

She took our needs and budget into consideration and really helped create a wedding that was perfect for us.

I was recently married in San Antonio and we used The French Connection for wedding planning services. My husband and I live in Alaska so we were basically planning a destination wedding. Tracy and her staff did an amazing job of building a wedding task list, helping to select and then managing our vendors, planning the wedding day timeline and setting up and breaking down the reception in its entirety. Tracy is a top notch planner with class and personality that's hard to beat. I've always been told I'm excessive and over the top when it comes to planning and organizing so I consider it a huge compliment when I someone tells me Tracy has me beat. If you're looking for someone to help keep you sane and on track, Tracy will be tough to beat!!!!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

They assisted us with everything from our Save the Dates and invitations to even our honeymoon after the wedding! We received numerous compliments on our wedding and invitations and still continue to hear compliments 3 months later! Tracy and her team will put you in touch with some of the most wonderful vendors that we would not have found without them. They are the wedding planning experts, so trust them and relax! Actually while writing this review, I just referred a friend to the French Connection! They are the best around!!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

There are always a million small details to attend to when planning a wedding, most especially when the Groom's family will be traveling in. Tracy and her trusted team thought of everything we did not. They coordinated everything from rehearsal thru the reception with precision and attention to the smallest of details we never thought to address. Tracy brought so much creativity to the table in planning and execution of our Daughter's vision for her "Perfect Wedding Day."
As a Family, we cannot tell you how much their Professionalism and Expert advice allowed us to truly relax and enjoy this beautiful moment for our Daughter and her new Husband.
Tracy and her entire Staff were such a blessing.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy, and the entire French Connection team was an absolute dream to work with. Words cannot describe how incredible our special day was. From the timeline, to the vendors, to my stress level, everything was taken care of and executed perfectly. I feel lucky to have been apart of such an incredible experience.
I am the type of person, who had a MILLION ideas, and about 15 wedding Pintrest Boards. I had NO IDEA where to even begin or how to execute my perfect wedding. Tracy was able to take all of my dreams, and make them cohesive. In times where I did not know how to express what I wanted, Tracy seemed to be able to read my mind, and articulate exactly what I was thinking. In the end, everything was a dream!
It has been 4 months since my perfect wedding, and the only thing I am upset about is that I no longer get to meet with the French Connection every month. I would recommend Tracy to ANYONE!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy French helped with the planning of my daughter's wedding in November. We couldn't have done it without her. Tracy is bubbly, organized, straight-forward, and knowledgeable about vendors and venues. Although we found some of our own vendors, Tracy recommended our florist, Photo Booth, linen service, and cake lady. We were quite pleased with all of them. Tracy is reasonable and thorough. My daughter and her fiancé, who live in Anchorage but married in San Antonio, met on four occasions with Tracy for planning. On the wedding day, Tracy and her team took care of all the reception set up. We didn't see the Pearl Stable until we walked in after the wedding. It was beautiful and Tracy was angel. She stayed through the reception making sure everything went in a timely organized way and then packed up all of our personal decorations and leftover cake. If you want to leave the hassle of communicating with vendors and setting up for a reception to a wedding planner, Tracy French is your person. She is truly a class act, five star professional that will make your wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress free.

Tracy and her team made the wedding planning experience very easy and not stressful, when wedding day arrived we were all set and enjoying the day knowing that behind the scenes we had the best team taking care of everything.
I will recommend Tracy and her team to friends, family and will use her services again anytime.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

I must say that Tracy French can deliver on a moments notice. I was traveling out of the country, completely last minute and two weeks before my daughter's 3rd birthday party and I had not been successful at ordering and mailing out party invitations. I called Tracy from Brazil and told her my dilemma and she immediately got the ball rolling. I had a proof within the hour and an estimate on time and price shortly thereafter. Once I gave her the go ahead she put the team to work and got my invitations printed, assembled, addressed and in the mail within 3 days. Just 4 short days before, I wasn't sure if I was going to have to resort to an e-mail invitation or not when I received my first RSVP. I must say the attention to detail and the extra effort to help those of us who tend to leave things for the last minute is much appreciated.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
Thank you so much Erika! It was a pleasure to help you with your daughters party. -

Tracy French created an absolutely spectacular wedding at Secrets Maroma in Mexico - it was honestly more than we had ever dreamed it would be and I can't tell you how happy I am that I had her by my side the day of and the year or so prior. Admittedly, I am demanding with very high standards and had a LOT of input on what/where/why/when/how. Tracy DELIVERED and then some.
She was extremely professional from the first moment - choosing the right (and most spectacular!) venue, perfecting the décor, finding an amazing band for cocktail hour (huge hit), recommending an amazing photographer and hair/makeup team (wow to both...seriously), dealing with challenging vendors, and orchestrating the whole event such that it flowed perfectly on the day of. She really does serve as a highly experienced guide, organizer, and psychologist lol for the difficult and often confusing wedding planning journey. And I know that our parents and guests agree as we had plenty of time to discuss during our time in Mexico.
I'm so pleased to have worked with her, and I would be thrilled to recommend her.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy French and her team at The French Connection did an amazing job on my daughter's wedding. Tracy is organized, professional, very detail-oriented and dedicated to what she does. She was full of ideas and any ideas we had, she implemented beyond our vision.
Tracy was great to work with and was always just an email or phone call away. She was in contact with all of our vendors and made sure everyone knew what was expected and when. We didn't have one concern on the day of the wedding and was able to enjoy every minute of the day with our daughter, family and friends. Everything was set up beautifully and guests are still commenting on the beauty of the day and the amount of detail that went into everything.
Tracy did all of our print work, signage, welcome bags (which were the nicest I have ever seen), wedding favors, napkins, event rentals, etc. She and her team set up and coordinated all of our transportation needs for our guests for the day of (buses to and from venue) along with transportation for the Bride & Groom. They were there to set things up at the venue and packed everything up for us at the end of the night. This made even our departure easy.
We couldn't have been happier withTracy and her team and the wedding could not have gone any
smoother nor been any more beautiful. We would highly recommend Tracy and The French Connection to any bride-to-be or mother-of-the-bride!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

We hired The French Connection midstream with what we thought at the time was a pretty adequate job of planning all the details. At first we naively approached TFC with the idea of employing them “for the day”; so both mom and daughter could really enjoy the wedding day. But we soon realized no wedding is just about the day. It’s about the coordination of many details developed over a period of time into as near perfect an event as possible.
At our first meeting I presented Tracy with the binder full of wedding plans, receipts and copious notes. Tracy was so kind and patient. But what impressed us most - Tracy listened and found the heart of our daughter’s vision for her wedding day. And we have been forever grateful.
Tracy helped tweak our wedding invitations making them a grand introduction to the theme of the Wedding Day. When our wedding photographer’s business declared bankruptcy 3 months from “W” day, Tracy suggested a replacement and we never regretted it. The wedding photos are priceless and capture the beauty and joy of the day. Tracy handled our last minute decision to have a white dance floor and even had them layout the entire thing twice because it was offset the first time!
Tracy designed every minute of the day’s unfolding and provided us with a schedule of what to expect. And as it turns out that was the real jewel. Because while we were lost in the joy of so many unforgettable moments, everything proceeded exactly as we wanted and Tracy planned.
Tracy and her team made all the reception details we asked for count. And that was no easy task. Prior to the event TFC contacted 8+ vendors individually, set up timelines and expectations for their contributions.
From the first morning make-up photo to the last farewell from the bride and groom, we are so appreciative of Tracy and The French Connection team for taking our daughter’s dreams and turning them into her wedding day reality.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy French and her team at The French Connection Events truly exceeded our expectations and brought our not-so-traditional Tropical/Southern wedding theme to life beautifully! We keep remembering some of the small details (the giant details were obvious and also spectacular) that made our wedding such an incredible wedding. Our friends and families' feedback are also 100% positive. With a full-time job and a child to raise, plus a fiancé on frequent business trips, I knew that I was going to need help planning our dream wedding. Tracy is meticulously detail-oriented and paid attention to every request, presented excellent ideas and recommended highly skilled vendors. In addition to event planning, she custom designed our Save the Dates and wedding invitations which we have received many compliments on. As an even bigger added bonus, Tracy has added travel services to her long list of services offered and was able to assist us with our Bora Bora honeymoon travel arrangements! Friends and family would comment on how calm I appeared during the whole wedding planning process and I attribute that to being able to trust Tracy and her team with the wedding details the entire year and a half of planning. Having such a knowledgeable, experienced, professional and super-friendly wedding planner was key in pulling off the most important event in my life!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
Thank you Geralie and Tom! I had a great time planning your wedding in Dallas, TX. -

The team at The French Connection Events was absolutely fantastic to work with. As a bride with a demanding job in a city half-way across the country Tracy and crew were available to answer my questions via phone, email and in-person, and provided excellent recommendations and ideas for everything from the smallest decor details, to room diagrams, to timeline and crowd management. As result of their expertise and professionalism, the groom and I (and our families) were able to simply enjoy celebrating with each other on our big day.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

When Kevin and I decided to have our wedding in San Antonio, we knew we were going to need help since we were living in two different locations on the east coast. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to use Tracy and The French Connection Events for our wedding. Tracy took care of everything and introduced us to amazing people. She worked with our crazy schedules and made sure we got as much done as possible each time we flew down to San Antonio. Because of her hard work, we had almost everything done for the wedding a year in advance. Tracy and her team allowed us to enjoy our day and not worry about a thing because we knew everything would be taken care of. She gave us a beautiful wedding that we will never forget. I cannot possibly begin to say thank you enough. If anyone is ever looking for a planner for any event, I would whole-heartedly recommend Tracy and her team. She truly is the best!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

My husband & I engaged The French Connection to coordinate the "day of" our daughter's wedding. We could not have been more pleased; she is EXCEPTIONAL! Not only did she organize & implement every detail of the rehearsal & wedding day itself but she also helped us with questions & concerns at every stage of planning, always giving sound advice. She even had a wedding invitation suggestion that satisfied the requirements of my daughter for elegance & my husband for good price.
During the entire planning process she was always very PLEASANT; extremely KNOWLEDGEABLE; highly ORGANIZED; & readily AVAILABLE through email & phone calls. She is someone with whom you truly enjoy working.
During our rehearsal she was most impressive in the way she made certain everyone understood exactly what they were to do at the wedding. In addition she moved the rehearsal along in a timely yet pleasant manner. The day of the wedding she & her staff took charge making sure all the vendors (caterer, florist, baker, photographer, musicians) were in place & set up per our agreement with each one. She kept everything on schedule; everyone in the wedding party informed as to when & where they needed to be; & did it all with a cheerful attitude despite 100° temps. She even stayed with us until everything was totally finished after the wedding & dinner/dance - another of her fine qualities; she is very THOROUGH. In summary she & her staff managed every aspect of our celebration with efficiency & pleasantness. They took on the task of the details of the wedding day making it possible for my husband & me to be able to enjoy the day.
Working with The French Connection was a totally positive experience for our entire family & for our daughter's wedding party. Tracy & Co. exceeded our expectations, & we highly recommend them. Tracy will guide you to make your wedding vision "a dream come true".Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy French and The French Connection Events Team will always remain close to our hearts. After a horrible and unfortunate experience with another wedding planning and events company, The French Connection was ready and motivated to step in and bring to life our magnificent dream wedding. Precise execution, attention to detail, and a vast array of experience is only the beginning of what this excellent team has to offer. Thanks to Tracy and The French Connection Team our magical night was even more than perfection!

To the French Connection Wedding Events:
When we got engaged we were so excited about the upcoming events and changes in our life's. We started looking right away for everything we needed to make our wedding incredible, but soon realized it was a hard and time consuming task. It all changed when we met with Tracy French, she made us feel comfortable and sure that she was going to help us every step of the way. At all times Tracy and her staff were very professional, always there for us and so helpful in every way. She always listened and gave us several options of exactly what we wanted and all the vendors that she looked for had exactly what we had on our minds. Thanks to Tracy and her staff we could enjoy our engagement period to the maximum and we had the security that everything was going to be perfect.
We think a wedding is a one lifetime experience and you have to make it just as you imagine it, and with Tracy this was possible she made of our wedding day, the day of our dreams.
Thank you Tracy!
Alicia & Milton.

We used the French Connection for their DJ service. The DJ's name was Leif. He was AMAZING! He was very involved throughout the entire wedding. He made sure that David and I were constantly in the loop without making us feel overwhelmed and made the sequence of events for the wedding flowing nicely. He really kept our guests happy with the music and kept them on the dance floor. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. We highly recommend him!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

Tracy and the TFC team are wonderful. From day one, she helps you come up with a timeline and makes the overwhelming seem less daunting. Tracy makes you feel comfortable and gives you honest advice and opinions, which is what every bride and groom look for! My wedding was truly a dream and it would not have been possible without Tracy and her team. Every detail was exactly how I had dreamed it up to be and I was not stressed one bit on my wedding day because I had nothing to worry about. Tracy did all the worrying for me and made sure everything was how it should be! The extra expense is definitely worth it!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

From the moment that we decided to hire a wedding planner we knew we were in good hands with Tracy and the TFC team. We had about a 13 month planning period which Tracy set the pace perfectly. Our sessions were fun and she really made it easy to make decisions. She was also very budget conscious and only put us in contact with vendors in our price range that would still deliver top quality. She was also a pro at handling our, at times challenging, family dynamics. Needless to say, the wedding day was amazing and beautiful and everyone had a blast. Tracy and Katie and the rest of the team did an outstanding job. My husband, our families, and I could not have been happier. Thank you TFC!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

My name is Ariele and I recently was married at the Dominion Country Club in San Antonio, TX in June of 2013. Tracy French, with The French Connection, was our coordinator and I cannot even begin to express how wonderful she is.
To begin, I do not have any family here in San Antonio, and was enrolled full-time in my last semester of graduate school, doing an internship, while also volunteering in the 9 months leading up to our wedding. Needless to say, planning a wedding wasn't something that was going to be easy (if at all possible) for me to do alone.
Finding a wedding coordinator wasn't something I had imagined ever wanting or needing, but I recognized that doing it alone would be more than I could handle. So, I did some research for wedding coordinators in the area and came across Tracy's name. I read numerous reviews and found that she was very highly regarded among vendors and clients alike. I also contacted some friends who had recently used other wedding coordinators in the area and found that they would not recommend any of the ones they had used. Although I would have loved to use a wedding coordinator that someone I knew personally recommended to me, that was not an option. After meeting with Tracy, I knew she had the energy and expertise I was looking for in a wedding coordinator--we booked her for our wedding on the day of our consultation with her.
In general, Tracy was very professional, organized, intuitive, and all around pleasant to work with. In the weeks leading up to wedding I did very little and let Tracy takeover--she always provided me with the need-to-know info, and didn't bombard me with trivial details, which made the process stress-free and enjoyable. By the day of our wedding, I was so confident in Tracy's abilities that I didn't care or stress about not being able to get cell phone reception from our hotel room! Anyway, our wedding itself was flawless (if there was a hitch, we never knew it). Big thanks to Tracy!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

My husband and I both have very busy schedules which made wedding planning a little more than hectic at times. We teamed up with TFC only a few months before the wedding and had very little done. Tracy and her team helped get everything in order & put my mind at ease. From the invitations, programs, flowers, wedding day timeline, rehearsal, etc... the French Connection Events did it all! On the wedding day, I didn't have to think about a thing, I was able to just enjoy the moment. They are there every step of the process if you need them, a great group to work with! I just wish we would have teamed up with them sooner!!! I would definitely recommend The French Connection Events for any bride. Tracy, Amber and Katie were amazing.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

I ordered my wedding invitations from the French Connection. My invitations were probably what I have spent the most time on during wedding planning. I couldn't find what I wanted after spending hours and hours browsing online and going into stationer shops. I found the invitation I wanted and worked with Tracy on it. It originally was sold on a much thicker paper stock than I needed or wanted. Tracy helped me find the perfect one. I've now sent my cards out and am getting my RSVPs returned along with many compliments on my invitations...they set the tone for the rest of the wedding!Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
It was a pleasure working with you Chris and I am thrilled that we were able to help you find the perfect invites for your wedding! -

Tracy was wonderful! At the beginning of our ceremony it began to rain. Tracy stayed calm, cool, and collected and saved the day! The ceremony was moved inside quickly and was BEAUTIFUL.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
ahhh that was a day! We were happy to be apart of it. Thank you Claire! -

I had my hair and make up done through The French Connection. She did an amazing job with my make up. It can be a little pricey, but it was worth it. The quality of the make-up and her ability to know which colors match up with your hair and skin tone are the reasons I would recommend them as a vendor.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
Thank you!! I am thrilled that our Hair/Makeup services worked out for you. -

I found Tracy French online - her proposal seemed fair and inclusive so I chose her as my planner. Overall, Tracy was a tremendous contributor to the success of our special day. I believe in both praise and food for thought for other brides choosing a planner, so I'm providing a bit of both:
1) Tracy is very well connected in the San Antonio wedding community. She has relationships with preferred vendors, whom in a few cases gave me preferred pricing. I will ALWAYS be grateful to Tracy for finding my photographer, videographer, caterer, cake artist, and rentals company.
2) Tracy is very organized (as any excellent planner should be). Each of our planning sessions were productive and to the point. I felt at ease knowing we had combed through the details together and she would ensure there was nothing I was forgetting.
3) As part of her package, Tracy's team managed the venue decor set up and take down. They did an AMAZING job. I have been to many weddings when the family is tasked with cleaning up after the event ends - not a fan. My family was able to enjoy the full wedding as Tracy's team had it covered.
A few items to note:
1) Tracy's services are best suited for a bride with an expansive budget. I spent a little over $40,000 on my wedding and was regularly reminded that I was a 'budget bride'. I did not take this personally, I know Tracy was only trying to help me make good choices with my budget, but this is an important point when choosing a planner.
2) Tracy has in house vendors to choose from - very affordable but less information up front about their skills/background. We chose our DJ through Tracy and he was very well priced, but mediocre at best. This is nothing against Tracy personally - she offers these options to brides when they want to allocate more dollars to other things.
Bottom line: Tracy and her team and wonderful. I would absolutely recommend her again. There is something tremendous to be said for a planner whose reputation surp -

My husband and I had our destination wedding in Punta Cana, DR. Words can not express how fantastic Tracy French and The French Connection team are. Tracy is very detail oriented, thorough and professional. During the process of our wedding planning, from the beginning to the end, we had some in between minor issues with some of the vendors from the resort. Tracy was on top of it right away, making sure all issues were resolved in a reasonable time manner. Tracy paid attention to every detail I desired. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with the work she does. Tracy offered wonderful suggestions, listening to my ideas and providing ideas for me and my husband as well. Tracy made sure my wedding was everything I ever wanted....my dream wedding come true!
Thank you again for all your hard work Tracy French!-

Tracy & her team (Christina, etc.) were lovely to work with and patient during bridezilla moments, and assertive with other vendors when they needed to be. They went above & beyond at numerous pivotal points, and on top of it all, they were just lovely and funny and a pleasure to be working with, throughout. Only regret is crossing paths w/them too late in the planning process -- if I could do over, I'd hire them for a full Planner scope, not just Day-Of.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
Thank you Adam and Branden! We had a wonderful time working with you both!! -

Great recommendation by our Destination Wedding Planner in Mexico. Couldn't be happier! It made all of the transportation and booking extremely easy for all my guests. You'd being doing a disservice to yourself by NOT using The French Connections Event and TFC Travel.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
Ahhhh Thank you Leah and TJ!! Let's go back!!! -

The French Connection Events were great to work with, they were very flexible and accommodating to our schedule, though do only work on the weekdays in regards to face to face meetings. They were very professional as well and very responsive, usually by email. The aesthetic of the wedding was exactly how I imagined it. She recommended a great photographer, venue and caterer. However, there were some details that could have been better taken care of, for example, our out of country invitations were returned to us as they did not have enough postage. There was a wedding custom that we did not know about that she did not mention to us (probably because she assumed we knew to invite the wedding priest to our reception but we did not know this and ended up inviting him last minute--she did have our guest list and seating arrangement though and should have seen that he was not on it). And finally, during the wedding reception, our families were not all present for the cake cutting ceremony --I personally think that it should have been her responsibility (she also had several helpers with her during our reception) to make sure that they were there before that happened. She did help us out in a pinch at the reception by getting more alcohol for us as we thought we were running low, so that was great.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
Thank you Hana for your review. And thank you to Charles for his sweet recognition of our hard work during the toast!! Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous, you had the perfect weather and all things at the wedding went off perfectly for your outdoor reception. The priest being invited is a personal choice of the bride and groom. The post office did tell us the postage and hate that we are just now learning a couple of invites were returned. All guests were lead inside to the dance room at the same time for the toast and cake cutting but we are sorry if some didn't go in with the others. Thank you again as we value your feedback. -

Tracy did a great job bringing the vision of our wedding to life. She recommended the best vendors who would be able to execute our vision as well. She also took care of the disasters that occurred the day of and allowed the two of us to enjoy our day. She was always willing to stick around a little later to wrap up our monthly meetings at her office. We would definitely recommend Tracy for our friends special events in the future.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:

The planning and execution of all logistics was excellent. Always upbeat and ready with solutions to every challenge. The reason I gave four stars is that in my opinion nobody is perfect. Tracy is close.Tracy French ~ Destination Wedding Specialist's reply:
