" I wasn’t the most detail oriented decisive bride. No matter how long it took for me to make a decision, Tara remained patient & continued to provide her guidance & expertise. She understood exactly what we wanted & executed it better than what we could have hoped. We highly recommend Tara & her team to any couple looking for wedding planning assistance. She helped to put our minds at ease & we started to feel the weight of the wedding lift from our shoulders. Tara was always 3 steps ahead of whatever inevitable planning bumps that came along the way. She is so well versed in the wedding industry. Tara assisted us with EVERYTHING !!! When the dust settled and I think about the ease and level of service that was shown, I felt guilty that we were not paying more. That is the highest praise I can possibly give for priceless service.

" Tara and Perfect Planning Events are the real deal. This was hands-down the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. Tara and her team are professional, attentive, and courteous, and absolutely the organizers and advocates you want between you and the rest of your vendors on your big day…..we wanted someone professional, but fun. Tara was all of these things…..on two separate occasions the day-of, I was brought to tears by how conscientious and sweet her team members were. Perfect Planning rocks. "

" Tara is an amazing wedding planner. She was so kind, helpful, friendly and professional that it made every aspect of planning our wedding easier. Her staff on the day of the wedding were fantastic, they took care of every detail. From the first day I spoke to Tara on the phone, through the end of the wedding, she brought us so much calm by being focused and detail-oriented. She’s truly great, I can’t imagine having gotten through it without her help! "

" I cannot say enough how AWESOME Tara and her team were. Leading up to the wedding Tara went above and beyond to answer any questions and quell my anxieties. No matter what time of day or night she was there to answer questions, review contracts and come up with solutions for the last minute catastrophes that happen with a wedding. Everyone told us how amazing the party was and I owe so much of that to Tara and her team!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you .. I almost wish I could get married 50 more times just to have to work with Tara again. "

" Working with Tara Melvin and Perfect Planning was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. From our first meeting, through vendor selection and deciding on the myriad details Tara was professional, prepared and always cheerful. Our wedding was large and had a lot of moving parts—Tara expertly juggled them all. When we first contacted her, she scheduled an in-person meeting to discuss her services and my vision.

I would definitely hire her again for any future events we have, and enthusiastically recommend her to other brides-to-be. "
