    Wedding Day Go-To

    Tamara and her team are all amazing. From day one Tamara makes you feel like you have known her your whole life which is why she’s so good at what she does. She takes everything you tell her and makes it into your dream wedding without making you sweat one thing on the big day. Would recommend to anyone !

    Loved Working with Tamara!

    We hired Tamara to be our day-of coordinator, and I'm so thankful that we did! She helped me feel at ease on my wedding day, and I felt I was able to fully enjoy it because of her! She is so thoughtful and detail-oriented, and you can tell how much she cares about her brides! She will go above and beyond to make sure your day is exactly how you dreamed it to be, only elevating your vision to make it truly incredible and memorable. Thank you, Tamara! :)

    Couldn’t have asked for anything more from this team, they are AMAZING!

    Down to I Do was a LIFE SAVER! Every detail I asked for this team NAILED! If you are looking for a planner, all I can say is HIRE THEM, you won’t be disappointed what so ever and would pick Down to I Do over and over again! I had a fairytale wedding day and never stressed once because this team had it all covered!

    They were awesome!

    I used Down To I Do for month of/day of wedding planning. They were priced very fairly and even offered military, health care, and teacher discount which was awesome. Tamara helped with my final details meeting at my venue, wedding day timeline, and seating chart layout the month of the wedding. She was so nice and helpful and had great recommendations! Kristin was my coordinator on the day of the wedding and Melanie was her assistant and they were amazing! They set everything up perfectly and made the day go so smoothly. I highly recommend Down To I Do for wedding planning!

    Down To I Do added significant stress and frustration

    We were extremely disappointed in our experience with Down to I Do. In the months leading to the wedding, Tamara was increasingly difficult to reach. We consistently had to follow up with multiple messages to elicit a response, days later. Despite repeated requests, we did not receive an initial draft of the day-of timeline, one of Down to I Do’s primary deliverables, until less than 2 weeks before the wedding. This caused delays to planning and coordination with other vendors.

    Tamara was not in attendance at either our rehearsal or wedding. She sent an alternative POC with whom we had never had any contact to lead both occasions, and we had never been informed upon signing the contract or leading up to the wedding that it was a possibility she, as owner and lead planner with whom we had communicated with exclusively, would not attend and/or would send a substitute except due to emergency. The venue manager was also not informed that she would be absent until the day of the wedding. Per Tamara’s staff, she was attending another rehearsal during our rehearsal, and another event the day of our wedding. She stated that an email was sent to us in her portal to inform us of such change, but the portal shows that the message was never delivered. Despite the easy availability of multiple other communication channels which had been used throughout the planning process (e.g. text, phone, email), she did not follow up to ensure we were aware of such an important change, 3 days before the wedding.

    The girls she sent to the wedding in her place were nice and assisted with setup and breakdown. Though they were nice, it was clear they did not have the same level of experience leading weddings as we would have expected from Tamara. At multiple points throughout the wedding, the lead seemed overwhelmed, uncertain, and was intermittently absent.

    Tamara’s consistent delays in communication, or lack thereof entirely, caused significant stress and frustration. Her lack of accountability in addressing her absence at both the rehearsal and wedding was unprofessional and unacceptable. Tamara let us down on one of the most important occasions of our life, and we would have been better off planning everything independently.
