Absolutely Amazing!!!

If you want a wedding or event of a lifetime, “Tammy Waterman@ Special Moments”.took a dream wedding to new heights. Everything was detailed to your specifications even when you didn’t know exactly how to communicate your vision. Three months out, my guest are still raving about a wedding that’s “beyond anything they’ve ever experienced”

Only a small insight into our day but a few “Special Moments” to share

Tammy and Special Moments, BRAVO

10 out of 10. Tammy is a superstar.

Tammy (the head of Special Moments) is a logistics queen. She planned my cousin's wedding with 365 people (!) and it was one of the smoothest/most fun weddings I've ever been to. This is why we booked her - I knew she'd be able to nail our big fat 300-person wedding with ease.

And that she did! Tammy is an expert and spinning a lot of plates without neglecting anything. No detail was forgotten, no stone was unturned - I truly think this is why our wedding was such a hit. Guests had the best time and never had to worry about where they were supposed to be or what was supposed to be happening. It was a day and night of nonstop fun, and that was all because of Tammy. I'm extremely Type-A organized and Tammy makes me look like a season finale of Hoarders in comparison. She is the best and I felt calm my whole wedding day knowing that the event was in great, capable hands.

Best decision I made was hiring this team!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! As a bride I was very stressed and full of anxiety. Tammy and her team took that stress off of me. Not just on my wedding day, but the entire planning process! Do yourself a favor and hire her to help you!!!
