We highly recommend hiring Natasha—especially for those who may initially be skeptical as to whether a planner is worth it. My wife and I had never used a planner and truly thought it was only for people who had a $50,000 wedding budget or were planning a big wedding. Like many of you, we thought it’d be easier just to save the money and go it alone.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Natasha (and her colleague Bianca) were truly jacks of all trades. Their calming presence and flexibility helped our wedding day run so smoothly. We can’t emphasize enough how valuable Natasha and Bianca were to us and how personable, kind, and professional they are.
We had last-minute runs to Trader Joe’s for flowers, desperate bobby pin emergencies, and first dance interruptions. Natasha and Bianca handled it all without missing a beat. And unlike many other vendors they went the extra mile every chance they had—adding additional planning calls, additional hours, additional responsibilities without hesitation.
The short of it is this: you should hire Tailored Memories, and you’ll be grateful you did.
Natasha at Tailored Memories arranged the most perfect celebration we could ask for. We had already found our venue for our 50-guest wedding, but needed help pulling together all the details. Fortunately Natasha was available and set us up with the appropriate package. Over the next six months, her thoughtful and thorough questions helped us figure out what we wanted from our day. Then she nailed every organizational detail – from vendors to execution. On the day of the wedding, Natasha and her assistant unobtrusively led the show, leaving my groom and I free to smile and enjoy the happiest moments of our lives yet.
