I knew that I wanted an amazing wedding but had no idea where to start...luckily, Tamara was there every step of the way. In terms of design, she was able to help me form a vision and bring it to life in a way that was even better than I imagined!! I cried when I saw the final florals for our wedding!! Outside of her impeccable taste, Tamara and her team are a delight to work with. They communicated directly with many of our vendors and kept everything organized, allowing me and my partner to actually enjoy wedding planning! In fact, we miss it and working with Tamara!! On the weekend of my wedding, Tamara and her team dealt with everything and I was fully able to relax and enjoy the event. They set up the ceremony, coordinated vendors and even cleaned up! Because of their help, my wedding was probably the best weekend of my life :') In addition to being AMAZING at design and florals, Tamara is also very business-savvy. She has great connections in the industry, connected us with the most talented people AND helped us get the best deals with vendors, constantly trying to help us save money so that we could get the biggest bang for our buck! Looking back on it, hiring Tamara was the best decision I made for my wedding. I couldn't have done it any other way and I 10000% recommend Tamara and her team for your wedding. Your celebration will be amazing AND you will come away with a friend for life :)

We were fortunate to have worked with Tamara and her team for our wedding 3 years ago and she was the single best decision that we made for our stress levels. She is a trusted advisor in your corner as you begin the journey to plan a wedding all the way through to the big day itself! The things that stand out about Tamara are her kindness, expertise, mastery of her craft, and on top of all of that her extraordinary positivity and warmth. Tamara would take direction and execute on every detail of the vision that we had, handled every question or worry we had with ease and professionalism, she truly is the best at what she does! She was exceedingly kind, patient, and understanding as we struggled at times to navigate and make the most basic of decisions as EVERY wedding couple does when it is their first time trying to do all this. Not only did Tamara put our minds at ease at all times, she truly guided us through every aspect of wedding planning and took care of so many details and tasks, nothing was too big or too small for her to take on or handle. We could not have been in better hands. If she was on it, it was as good as done! Her ability to catch any message, passing thought, question, or request is second to none! Above all, she went the extra mile to make our wedding a beautiful success - both in the leadup and the day of - directing vendors and managing stressful last minute pivots and day of changes when we had rain in our forecast, all the while coordinating everything with a smile on her face. We only have Tamara to thank for the best wedding and day of our lives - that we will look back on for the rest of our lives knowing it was planned and executed to absolute perfection. A million thanks for everything!

We hired her for our wedding, and I wish we would have went with someone else…read more It was IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of her. I would email her over and over again. Call. And I would get a response a few days/weeks later. And her response was always "I'm sorry I've been so busy". Which I understand. But that's why my husband and I hired this company because their job is to do this. It was very stressful when we didn't hear things for weeks. We also talked about cake flavors via email and come to find out on our wedding date, she never ordered one. I mean. Why would we talk about cake flavors and then not add it to the bill?! It was my fault also for not double checking the bill. What wedding doesn't have a cake!?!? When I called her , because she just left without saying anything, all she said was "all I can do is bring a fake cake". How are my guests going to eat this. So I had family run out and buy a few cakes. It was embarrassing . Being a nurse working 12 hours shifts at night, working 4-5 days a week. It was hard to meet up. Because I work 7pm to 7 am. So when I emailed her a few times to fill out the layout for the reception, she never replied. My husband called her a few times and she said to re-email it back. But did I ever get a response? No. I ended up just filling out the layout myself. When I asked her what her PayPal account name was, that's when I got a response right away. Seriously , I would not recommend them to anyone. Which is a shame, because my sister hired them a few years ago and they did fabulous. I'm not sure what happened for my wedding but it was awful. Very unfortunate.

Megan Bird - HOLY BUCKETS! I am going to have so much more…read moreto post after our upcoming April wedding. But in the meantime there are things that have to be stated about this amazing women. From the beginning Megan has been one of the most reassuring and comforting things about wedding planning. If not the only thing at times. Megan paid for herself at our very first meeting with our location and catering vendor. She saw something in the signed contract that entailed us to a better food package. Not just better food selections but more of it. When the vendor said it was a typo and they would fix it she said 'nope this is the contract that you had them sign. Typo or not you need to stick to this, they are entitled to this food at this price.' At that point in wedding planning i was so beyond exhausted i absolutely would have just rolled over and let the vendor adjust the signed contract. She stuck to her guns and we got the benefit of it. Woo Hoo We have the Week of Package, which really means that she takes over several weeks out. Following up with our vendors and asking me questions about details I never would have considered. Megan as been available for all of the silly questions and concerns that we have had and is prompt in her email response. She is able to offer suggestions on everything, babysitters in the area, vendors, when to do things, how to include family wishes along side our own, how to get Dicks Cheese Burgers to your wedding reception and everything in between. Megan is so friendly and easy to work with, she is prompt and organized. You just want to be her friend. I can not imagine getting through this wedding process without her, and its not even over yet. Wedding Planning Advice Number One - Get yourself a planner Number Two - Get Megan Keller MORE GOOD THINGS TO COME So, the wedding has happened. It was all smooth and amazing. Megan made everything work. As I was standing in my dress with my flowers about to walk down the isle I turned to my mom and said 'how would we have done this without Megan?' She said 'We wouldn't!' She was so right! Megan did so many things that made all the difference that I didn't know about. She was the first one there and the last one out. She loaded gifts and flowers and all kinds of things into car at the end of the evening. I can't not imagine that this day would have worked without her and we are so glad that we had her along for the ride!

Let's get straight to the gushing: Megan is spectacular!! Super organized, thoughtful, a creative…read morevisionary, and steady support (not to mention super fun and hilarious)! I started my quest to plan my own wedding in early 2010 and realized that, being an anxiety-prone control freak, I should probably seek some assistance. I found Megan Keller & A Kurant Event while link surfing through a wedding website. I immediately checked her out on Yelp, loved the reviews, and promptly set up a meeting. Loved this woman right away! She was so friendly, listened to me carefully, took notes, and proceeded to explain how she could help me, what my options were, and the prices. I loved it! Get straight to the point, and let's do this thing! Needless to say, I hired Megan and she worked with me step-by-step to put together a wedding and reception that exceeded my husband's and my dreams. All the while, keeping us on schedule and on track. The day of, especially, was so stress free - she took care of everything and I was able to fully enjoy the best day of my life. I highly recommend hiring Megan for your wedding planning needs, especially for the day-of, if not the whole shebang - she's totally worth it!

December: things started out....OK. During the interview we told Ashley what we had already…read moreplanned (the venues, my dress, the DJ) and that we would truly require guidance regarding the use of other local vendors. We provided her with a budget and asked her how things should be allocated. Her answer should have been a sign from God; she told us to use the budgeting tool on theknot.com. The wedding planner told me to make my own budget? When we asked her for guidance? The plot thickens. We told her that we needed her mostly for the day-of coordination. She offered us a Partial Planning package, which included 8 hours of planning, 2 hours for the rehearsal and 10 hours on the day of the wedding. We asked her when we would need to have a caterer and a photographer contracted and if she could help with this. She gave us a deadline by the end of January. Ashley told us that she would have some vendors out to us shortly for us to choose from. She also suggested that a plated meal, rather than a buffet would be the most cost-effective method. This seemed illogical, but she was the expert so we went with it. I did not hear from her until February. I emailed and called her several times during the month of January (while I was also starting a new job), asking her to send the vendor selections. I received an email back from her stating that she was sorry that she hadn't gotten back to me, but January was the only time of year that she could go on vacation. She sent me 3 sample menus and 3 photographers. I had heard of one of the photographers and selected that one. The caterer was more difficult because I wanted my fiancé to have a say in our meal planning. We noticed that the menus were pretty spare considering the costs that were being estimated. I asked Ashley about this and she responded that she had made a mistake in telling us that a plated meal would be less expensive because all of her experience was in hotel weddings. Now? She tells me in late-February that we've been on the wrong catering format now? The photographer that I selected provided a contract. You can read about the details of my experience with that vendor at Elegant Images. The contract was not acceptable; they insisted that no other photos could be taken at our event. When I asked Ashley to negotiate the contract and remove that clause, she waited 2 weeks and told me that "I had better really like [this photographer's] portfolio and work, or drop them because they were not budging on the contract". 2 weeks work and no changes? April: we selected our caterer and started the contract process. At this time, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with Ashley. I would email her or call and leave a message and would not receive a response for at least a week. When I received a response, I was told that I was just one of many clients that she was planning for and that I needed to be patient. Too many clients? Is my money not just as green? So I started to ask around. One coordinator told me to fire Ashley and hire her for 50% of the cost, she was so offended by the examples I gave. Now, it's May. I don't have a photographer at all. I selected (practically at random) a vendor from theknot.com (because that had worked out SO WELL already) and asked Ashley to reach out to him. He was miraculously available and willing to do the deed. His contract terms were far more acceptable than the first, so we did the deal. Finally, one thing off the list! June: panicking. We had no caterer, no decoration plan, no rentals...the list went on. I asked Ashley to meet me at the venues so that we could talk about décor. I asked her to meet me at the church at 3PM. She was 30 minutes late. She had no groundbreaking ideas or money-saving hints. NONE. At the reception site, I had a blunt discussion with her about what I expected from here on out. She left, telling me not to worry, that she had everything handled. I was to expect a plan of what needed to be done on a timeline on the Tuesday after our meeting. Tuesday came and went with no email, not even one to ask for more time to put something together. What I did receive eventually, was an email saying that we were dangerously close to the 8-hour planning limit and would I like to upgrade to the Ultimate Planning package for $500 more? I responded asking her for her time break-down. I was SHOCKED when I received it. 2 hours spent "researching" caterers? Another 2 hours spent "researching" photographers? Why would an established wedding coordinator have to research vendors? Shouldn't she come with stock vendors that she's worked with several times? Half of my time was spent doing what one of my unemployed friends could have done for free. I stopped being diplomatic and sent her a strongly worded email that said what my expectations were. I received NO RESPONSE. July: I terminated the contract. She was shocked and told me that it was unexpected. WHAT?

Juna is incredibly talented, but what sets her apart is that she has a true VISION. She doesn't just see flowers--she sees the entire event, the atmosphere, the details, and how everything should come together to create a feeling.
