Katherine R. Sent on 03/14/2022TARA: The OG Wedding Planner
TARA is the REAL MVP! Seriously! We could not have planned this wedding without her and sure as heck could not have pulled off our rainy day wedding without her either. Tucker and I are so incredibly thankful for Tara and how talented she is. We truly felt like she was our dear friend helping us through every step of the way. She knows her stuff and she gets it done while staying in great communication with you every step of the way. We really can't express enough how much you should hire this woman before she gets booked up! If you want a wedding planner who is communicative, on top of everything little detail (she's OCD about all of the little things just like me so that was a big WIN), cool, loving, and your biggest cheerleader then this is your girl! BONUS: Her husband was our DJ and I swear he made it the PARTY of the year. All of our friends couldn't stop telling us how insane our dance floor was and we even saw some asking for his information after the night was over! haha If you're tired of cheesy DJs and are looking for a cool one then DJ Holden It Down is your man! -

BEST Wedding Planner
WOW!!! I don't even know where to start with Tara Blackwell from Lotus Events. I first want to start by saying there would be absolutely no way we would have gotten through this time without her. Anytime I had a question (even 11 months out) she provided a quick response. As it got closer to the wedding, she made herself readily available to meet us or join us for meetings. This was extremely important since we were getting married outside of where we lived. I have been in many weddings who have wedding planners and Tara has hands down been the best. Even everyone in my wedding party, family, etc loved her and respected her. The way she can take charge and control of situations while still being calm and composed is amazing. It is exactly what a Bride needs on her wedding day. I think it is one of the main reasons I was able to remain so calm and still enjoy, even when our rehearsal was completely rained out and were unable to practice before the big day. I knew she had everything under control. I also cannot fail to mention how well she knew her stuff. There was not a question I asked where she did not have a well thought out and helpful answer. Also, another huge thing is my husband even loved her as much as I did. She was the perfect balance of both of us, so was able to communicate on both our levels which was great. I could seriously go on and on. If you have any question to book with Lotus Events, let me be the one to say, STOP here and do it! You will not regret it at all!
- a VERY VERY pleased Bride! -

Tara is THE BEST! She's so easy to work with and on top of everything. I used her for month-of wedding coordination and am so glad I did. Her response rate is fantastic! Her best quality is her demeanor - she is so calm and down-to-earth it puts you entirely at ease!
For day-of coordination, Tara was at the ready to handle anything. About an hour before our ceremony was set to begin, an actual fire started in our reception area - she handled the entire thing before I could even stress out about it. (All was fine!)
If you need a coordinator (spoiler: you do), Tara should be your choice! -

We had to reschedule our wedding several times due to COVID. That meant Tara stepped in to help us finish planning our wedding. She was amazing, flexible, and so helpful.
On the day of our wedding, she was exactly what we needed. My grandma was so thankful that we had such an amazing person to make sure our day ran smoothly! Our wedding went off without a hitch and I know we have Tara to thank for that. -

Hiring Lotus Events was the best decision we made for our wedding! Tara was great to work with from the very start. She always provided her honest opinion and gave great recommendations based on her experience. She was available throughout the wedding planning process to answer any and all of my questions. She was a pleasure to work with. The month of she managed all communications to the many vendors we had, which took a lot of stress off of me! She was extremely organized and thoughtful in her process. We had planned an outdoor ceremony and reception with tents covering the reception area in case of rain. It started pouring minutes before our ceremony and our guests rushed to the tented reception area. For 15 or so minutes we were going back and forth on where we would have the ceremony and Tara was literally running from the ceremony site to the reception site carrying chairs and organizing the guests and vendors. The rain was not stopping so we shifted our schedule to allow for cocktail hour to be the initial event, followed by the ceremony (hoping the rain would stop). Tara quickly communicated the change to the vendors and guests and got everyone moving. As soon as it stopped raining, we rushed everyone down to the ceremony site to begin the ceremony. The whole schedule got shifted and moved around and it could have been a chaotic nightmare, but Tara handled it so well that everything ran smoothly and the night turned out better than we could have imagined (rain and all). I would highly recommend Tara and Lotus Events for any and all of your wedding planning needs! Tara really goes above and beyond! -

Tara is the BEST!
I cannot say enough great things about Tara! I knew from the start that I would not have the expertise, time, or desire to plan a large wedding, no less during COVID. She made planning a wedding seem like a simple task by taking the lead. Her communication with vendors, her availability whenever needed, and day of wedding assistance was phenomenal. Our day would not have been as magical if were not for Tara and Lotus Events. Thanks Tara!!! -

Tara is an angel sent from heaven on your big day!
Tara was amazing. She is sweet and bubbly but also knows how to get to work and get the job done. We had a photography disaster 2 weeks before our wedding and she swooped in quickly and saved the day by finding us someone so last minute. We really can't thank her enough for making our day perfect. -

Tara was an absolute blessing! She was such a source of calmness and wisdom. Her attention to detail was important to us and her experience helped to guide us. I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding because I knew Tara had it all under control. Tara communicated with all the vendors and let me just be the mom of the bride. I am so grateful for her and for how she calmly carried out our vision and made our day the sweetest day. -

Tara is incredible! If you're looking for a wedding planner who will take charge of your vision and execute your day seamlessly, book Tara! Tara is so fun, easy to work with, and professional. She knows all the local vendors and can help you create your day based off your unique wants. Looking back, the weeks leading up to the wedding were stress-free, the entire day was flawless and not a detail was missed and I can truly give all the credit to her. -

We hired Tara with Lotus Events to help plan our wedding. She is incredible at what she does, and she made our day so perfect! Tara is super professional, yet approachable. We enjoyed meeting with her throughout the planning process. She gave us honest advice to help our vision come to life in the best way. We didn't have to worry about a thing on wedding day because Tara was there running the show. Because of this, we were truly able to enjoy every minute of the wedding day! We are so thankful for her efforts. I'd give more than five stars if I could!! -

Tara is amazing! If you are searching for a planner look no further! We went with her standard package and she went above and beyond those services. Tara was quick to respond to all of my (many) questions and made herself available to jump on phone calls too. When COVID hit, I was very anxious and unsure what to do. Tara eased my stress and calmed my anxious heart. She handled all vendor communication - making sure everyone was ready to go still. She provided relieve each time we spoke/saw her. When the big day arrived, I knew everything was going to be great because of Tara. On the day of she was in/out and managing all the moving parts. Our wedding day was beyond magical and we couldn’t be happier choosing Lotus Events. Tara is truly a rock star and made not only our wedding day stress-free but the weeks leading up to stress-free too. Thank you again!! -
