The venue was a beautiful old plantation home out in the country. My dream venue. The only problem was I forgot to hire a decorator or a coordinator. I made decor but never through about the fact that I only had the morning of the wedding to decorate and prepare myself as the bride. Tessa literally saved my wedding from becoming my worst nightmare! She asked how she could help and what my vision was. With a few boxes of decorations, flowers, a couple of photos and a 15 minute briefing on what I wanted, she pulled that “take charge” attitude right out of her back pocket! All I had to do was get my hair styled and get my dress on. When I walked through those double doors out of that beautiful old house, everything I had dreamed of was there. Even better than my visions! There were sunflowers and little blue coneflowers, rustic whiskey barrels and more sunflowers. My heart burst with joy and pride. Best day ever! She directed the DJ, coordinated the catering, entertained the waiting guests, set up the reception area, and sent cold drinks to the bride and groom’s rooms while we prepared. She literally ran the show and saved my wedding day from being an unorganized mess. She thought of everything in just a 15 minute briefing of my ideas. Amazing is what she is. She thought it through and put those thoughts into action. Tessa is a woman that makes things happen! Let her make things happen for you.

I met Tessa in December 2018 when looking for a wedding venue. Due to last minute changes, our original venue was unsuitable, and we had only ten days to find a new setting for our New Years Eve Wedding. Tessa helped me make quick decisions about seating, menus and all the other details related to a small family ceremony. Ours was the first wedding held in the boardroom at the Sheraton Hotel, but thanks to Tessa and her team, the result was a low-stress, beautiful wedding day. I highly recommend entrusting Tessa with your special event planning and execution.
